Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ FAMILY SECRETS ❯ Rain on Their Parade ( Chapter 6 )

 FAMILY SECRETS

AnimeJunkie: *laughs to herself as she types on her computer* This is gonna be funny.

*Trixie sits on top of AJ’s computer and looks down at the screen as each letter pops up one by one. The YYH gang walks in with Yusuke and Kuwabara fighting again and notice AJ laughing at the screen.*

Botan: *smiles* AJ, What’s so funny?

AJ: Oh, hey guys. I was just writing a one-shot Christmas fic. And you guys are in it. *laughs*

Kuwabara: *stops arguing long enough to watch AJ* So, what are we gonna be doing in this fic of yours. I hope nothing embarrassing.

Hiei: *looks at Kuwabara* You don’t have to worry about her embarrassing you....

Kuwabara: Uh, thanks Hie....

Hiei: You embarrass yourself enough on your own.

Kuwabara: *his face flushes with anger* YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR MOUTH SHORT STACK!!!!

Hiei: *mocking* OR WHAT? YOU GONNA USE YOUR TELEKINETIC POWERS TO SLAM ME INTO A WALL?

Yusuke: *laughs* Now THAT was funny!

Hiei and Kuwabara were about to go at it when Kurama steps in.

Kurama: Can’t you guys just get along for one day?

AJ: Kurama. If they did, the show would be boring. People tune in just to see if Hiei will run Kuwabara through with his katana.

Kuwabara: Well, since you’re writing this story, can you fix it so I win a fight against Urameshi?

AJ: *looks at Kuwabara with a raised eyebrow* I’m a writer, not a miracle worker.

Kuwabara anime falls and everyone laughs.

AJ: Now for the disclaimer. Kuwabara, since I can’t fix a win for you, do YOU want to do it today? (A/N: Actually, I COULD let Kuwabara win one fight against Yusuke, but where’s the fun in that? ^_~)

Kuwabara: Really? You’re not jerking my chain, are ya?

AJ: Nope. *rolls back in her chair* Take it away.

Kuwabara: ALL RIGHT!! *clears his throat, but unknown to him, the YYH gang is behind him making silly faces and acting stupid.* AnimeJunkie does not own Yu-Yu Hakusho or any of its characters. Also I think that the next story she does should be about me, THE GREAT KAZUMA KUWABARA! *flexes his muscles* I have the style, I KNOW I have the looks. *Yusuke is behind him, lip synching his words and mocking his movements* And I have more energy in my sword than Urameshi has in his stupid little Spirit Squirt Gun.

AJ just looks at Kuwabara and cracks up laughing.

Kuwabara: What’s so funny?

All AJ could do was point behind Kuwabara. He looks behind him and sees the YYH gang standing innocently like they did nothing wrong. (A/N: YEAH, RIGHT!) Botan could tell that AJ couldn’t talk for laughing so much, so she took over.

Botan: *giggles* And now.....FAMILY SECRETS. *starts to laugh harder, making everyone else laugh, except Kuwabara*

Kuwabara: Seriously; what’s so funny?

LAST TIME on FAMILY SECRETS....

Guest: I know all about him. But it looks like YOU don’t. Don’t worry, my dear...*uses his hand and lifts her head to meet his golden orbs, he leans down and whispers seductively in her ear* You will. *He leaps out of her window, his tail swishing behind him*

Gwen: {He’s cute, for a demon.} *plops down on her bed, face up* What a day! What ELSE can happen? I know what I WANT to happen; I just hope nothing butts in next time. *smiles and crawls under her covers and quickly falls asleep.*

Outside her window, Takei watches from the lot across the street.

Takei: So you managed to tap into an elemental power and use it to defeat the WingBlades. Clever girl. You won’t be so lucky next time. Count on it.

******************************************************************** **********

[Keiko’s House-Wednesday Morning]

Here it was, Gwen’s fourth day in Japan and more things happened to her in less than a week that otherwise would never happen at all. Gaining strange powers, going to Spirit World, fighting thugs in an alley, saving a gorgeous red-head (three times) and seeing him in bed half naked...battling gargoyle demons who interrupt a potentially romantic scene.....

Gwen: {Lousy, two-bit, hoochified, HARPY SLUTS!!!} *grits her teeth* If I ever get my hands on them again...*her diamond began to glow, her eyes turn white and her books start to float*

They were in a position to be thrown out the window when Keiko walks in just in time to stop her.

Keiko: *slams the door and shouts* GWEN, CALM DOWN!!

Gwen hears Keiko’s voice and that was enough to bring her out of her trance. The white aura around her books fade and drop to the floor with a thud. She looks around and sees Keiko looking surprisingly calm.

Gwen: Keiko. I’m sorry...

Keiko: It’s okay. I know you’re still getting used to your powers. And after going through Yusuke’s adventures, I should be used to this by now. But it still amazes me.

Gwen: *chuckles* I’m glad one of is calm about this. It seems like these powers are really strong and they react to my emotions. *continues to put on her uniform; she is slowly getting used to the skirt-SLOWLY. She still wants to get a uniform with pants, but that will have to wait.* (A/N: I don’t know if they HAVE girls’ uniforms with pants...I’m just guessing.) And I REALLY have to keep them in check because of that girl Haneko. I think she has it out for me. *combs her hair, deciding to wear it down today*

Keiko: Her and every other girl at that school who likes Kurama...oh, I mean Shuichi. *giggles* I hate to say it, but the minute he said “hi” to you at school, he basically signed your death warrant. Although, I don’t know who I should be worried about more; YOU or those GIRLS? *laughs*

Gwen: Good point. *pets Trixie* Now you be a good girl while I’m at school, ok? *Trixie squeaks happily* Well, let’s go. *smiles*

[Outside Meioh High]

Gwen walks up to the front door, adjusting her backpack’s straps, oblivious to the fact that the Shuichi Brigade were glaring daggers at her. She was about to open the door to enter the building when she felt a hand touch hers.

Kurama: *with the warmest of smiles* Allow me, milady. *opens the door and bows to her* Ladies, first.

Gwen: *smiles and curtsies* And who said chivalry was dead? *walks in with Kurama behind her*

The Shuichi Squad who was watching this scene nearly hurled. Haneko looked like she was about to blow her top.

Haneko: *fuming* Just WHO does that girl think she is? We’ve been after Shuichi since last year and he never once paid any attention to us! And then SHE barges in and he acts like she’s a princess or something! I mean what does she have that WE don’t have? (A/N: Shuichi for starters. ^_~)

Amara: So now what? As long as she’s here, Shuichi will just keep talking to her.

Ami (The leader): Well, we’ll just have to persuade her to stop talking to HIM. Won’t we? *punches her fist into her hand* By the time we’re done with her, she’ll be on the next plane back to America. *laughs evilly*

[Lunch Period]

Gwen was on her way to the cafeteria when the Shuichi Squad cut her off. Looking annoyed, she tried to walk around them, but they cut her off each time. Soon the girls surround her and Ami walks up to Gwen until they were face to face.

Gwen: *crosses her arms* Do you mind? I’m late for lunch.

Ami: As a matter of fact, I DO mind. Just who do you think you are coming here and hogging Shuichi?

Gwen: *sighs* If I recall correctly, Shuichi has his own mind and can talk to anybody he chooses. It isn’t MY fault he chose to talk to me. {Although I DO see why he never talks to you.}

Ami: Maybe not, but if you don’t leave him alone, it’s YOUR problem. *pokes Gwen’s shoulder hard* But there IS a way you can make it up to us in the meantime.

Gwen: *hands on her hips* And that would be.....

Ami: All of us, including you and Shuichi, have Mr. Shimatta’s Lit class next period and we FORGOT to study. So....

Gwen knew what she was about to suggest and was prepared to refuse, but a light bulb came on and Gwen had a devilishly clever idea to get back at them.

Gwen: So, you want me to let you copy off my test, right?

Ami: You catch on quick. So, you’re gonna give it to us, right?

Gwen: *pretends to think for a second* Yeah, I am. You can copy off my test.

Ami: *gently pats Gwen’s cheek* Good, girl. Sayonara. *the girls walk away, thinking they won.*

Gwen: *looks at the girls as they leave* {Oh, I’ll GIVE it to you, all right.}

[Cafeteria]

Gwen gets her food and finds Kurama waiting for her at their usual table. She walks towards him and sits down with a big smile on her face. Kurama looks at her with a little concern.

Kurama: I heard those girls were bothering you earlier. Are you okay?

Gwen: I’m fine. I have things under control. *goes into her southern persona* Ain’t no thing but a chicken wing. *she looks at Kurama who has an “I have NO idea what you just said” look on his face* It just means everything’s all right.

Kurama: Oh. *chuckles* Okay. If you say so. *eating his lunch*

[Fifth Period-Literature]

Mr. Shimatta: All right, class. You will have a 15 minute study period before I administer the test. I hope you all have studied beforehand; if not, I suggest you make the most of the time you have.

The class groans as they take out their books and notes. Kurama began to read his notes when he turned his head to look at Gwen reading a passage in her book; Gwen had a habit of moving her lips as she read and Kurama paid very close attention to her mouth as she did.

Kurama: /She has such full, succulent lips. *sighs* I’d give anything just to kiss them once. I wonder if she wears lip gloss? If so, I’d love to find out what flavor it is./

Youko: ~It’s probably the same as the soap she used in her shower. It smelled delicious.~ *a seductive lilt in his voice*

Kurama: /What you did last night was uncalled for. Breaking into her room when she was alone...AND IN THE SHOWER! She could have been naked!/

Youko: ~Unfortunately for us, she wasn’t.~

Kurama: /Baka hentai! You should be ashamed of yourself!/

Youko: ~I should; but I’m NOT! Besides, I wanted to see why you like this girl so much. Now I understand. She’s smart, funny, beautiful, VERY limber...~

Kurama: /That’s enough, Youko! *thinks back to the move she used on him where she flipped him with her legs* She IS flexible, isn’t she?/

Youko: ~*smirks* I knew you liked her. So what’s the problem? You want ME to talk to her?~

Kurama: /And have YOU scare her away? No, thanks./

Youko: ~Oh, that’s right. You didn’t tell her you’re a demon; or about me. Well, I can remedy that.~

Kurama: /You’ll do no such thing, Youko. I like her too much. Just leave it to me./

Youko: ~Okay, Mr. Wait-till-the-last-minute. Keep this up and someone else will snap her up. She’s quite a catch.~

Kurama: /Thanks for the advice./

[15 minutes pass]

Mr. Shimatta: Ok, class. I’m passing out the test. You have until the end of the class to complete it, and NO CHEATING! When you finish, you can turn it in and read until class is over.

Class: Yes, Mr. Shimatta.

The class began to work on their test when Ami nudged Gwen on her left arm and motioned for her to ease her test over when she filled in all her answers. She did as she was told and did it in a way that the teacher never noticed. Kurama looked at the scene and thought back to what Gwen said earlier. “I have things under control.”

Kurama: /If she says she has it under control, I believe her./

30 minutes into the test, Ami and her girls finished and turned their tests in; Gwen on the other hand, waited and pretended to check her answers. Another fifteen minutes pass and Gwen finally turns in her test paper. It was five minutes until class was about to end when Mr. Shimatta called Ami and the Squad to the front of the class.

Mr. Shimatta: Well, Ami. Congratulations! I have checked your tests and you and your friends have made class history by having the LOWEST scores.

Shuichi Squad: WHAT!?!?

Ami: That’s impossible!

Mr. Shimatta: Oh, no? Take a look for yourselves. *hands them their test papers back*
The girls look at their papers and were shocked.

Ami: That can’t be. We copied off of Gwen’s paper and everything! How could we fail?

Mr. Shimatta: Well, then you didn’t copy hard enough, because Gwen got 100% on her test paper.

Ami snatches Gwen’s paper from Mr. Shimatta’s hand, skims over it and is furious.

Mr. Shimatta: And since you admitted that you cheated...and STILL failed...you girls get a week’s detention. You will be cleaning this classroom after school starting today. *bell rings* Okay, people, turn in your tests and I’ll see you tomorrow. *the class files out and turn in their tests*

Gwen walks out with Shuichi and she is smiling all the way to their next class together.

Kurama: *smiles* Gwen, what just happened back there?

Gwen: Okay, here’s what happened. Ami and her girls cornered me before lunch and said I should leave you alone. But they suggested that I make it up to them by letting them copy my answers on the test. So I did.

Kurama: *confused* So why did they fail?

Gwen: I said I’d let them copy my answers; I NEVER said I’d let them copy the RIGHT answers. *smirks and winks*

Kurama: *chuckles* Clever, very clever.

Youko: ~Yes, worthy of the fox. I like her even more now.~

As they continue walking, a hand covers Gwen’s mouth and two girls shove her into a Janitor’s closet, locking her in.

Amara: Why don’t you stay in there and think about what you’ve done. *cackles*

[With Shuichi]

Ami: *in an overly sweet voice* Oh, Shuichi.

Kurama: Ami!? *looks around* Where’s Gwen?

Ami: Oh, she’s tied up at the moment. So...whatcha doing later? Looks like your date book is now open. Maybe I can change that for you. * winks and latches her arm around his waist* (A/N: I KNOW Gwen isn’t gonna take THAT!)

Kurama: Actually, Gwen and I have plans later. *tries to remove her arm*

Ami: Aww, can’t you break them, for US?

Suddenly, Kurama is surrounded by virtually every girl in school. He tried to escape but they all push him back in the eye of the girlie hurricane. Gwen pounds on the closet door and tries her best to scream but nobody hears her above the commotion outside.

Gwen: *sighs* This is getting me nowhere. I should just calm down. But how can I? What if Kurama’s in trouble? No. Chill, girl. Just stay cool; stay cool. *she slides down the wall opposite the door and sits cross-legged. She relaxed her mind and closed her eyes; then her opal radiated a golden glow that surrounded her body. Her spirit slowly rose out of her sitting form and floated to the door.*

Gwen: Okay, I know I can phase through objects. Yusuke once told me about how he possessed people when he was a ghost. Maybe I can do that. I just hope a janitor is nearby. Here goes nothin’.

Gwen phases through the door and floated above the student body in search of a janitor; by a stroke of luck, one was walking close by. Gwen floated to his body as he was bending down to pick up some trash.

Gwen: Sorry, brotha. But I need your body. *thinks about what she said* That does NOT sound right.

She melds into his body and the golden aura surround him. He stands up and his eyes are now a golden tint.

Janitor (w/Gwen’s voice): I’m glad I don’t need to go to the bathroom; I don’t think I could handle doing #1 standing up. *pulls out the ring of keys he kept in his pocket and flips through them* I better hurry; who knows what they’re doing to Kurama. Now which key opens that door?

The possessed janitor runs to the closet where Gwen was trapped. He fumbles through the keys and tries all of them one by one until the door opens. Gwen phased out of his body and melded back into her own. She opens her eyes and looks up at the janitor who rubs his eyes in disbelief.

Gwen: Thanks, dude. Keep up the good work. *pats him on the back*

Gwen runs toward where the students are crammed and sees Kurama drowning in a sea of female flesh and hormones. He didn’t want to use his abilities on his classmates and blow his cover so he jumped up and called out to Gwen.

Kurama: GWEN!! *girls drag him down but he escapes them for a second.* HELP!!

Gwen: SHUICHI!! HOLD ON!! *she looks at the hormonal ladies...(A/N: and I use the term loosely...)...and tries to think of a way to get them away from him.* {I have had just about enough of those girls! They ALL need to take a COLD SHOWER!}

As if on cue, her sapphire glowed brilliantly and she was once again in a trance. It had an image of a tidal wave in the center and the same image was in the center of her brown eyes. She looked up at the sprinklers and narrowed her gaze; within minutes they go off soaking every single girl who surrounded Kurama. Kurama himself, stayed bone dry, thanks to the little control she mustered over her power. The girls run away shrieking, and soaking wet leaving Gwen and Kurama alone in the hallway.

Kurama: I have NO idea what just happened, but thanks.

Gwen: *smiles* Let me guess...

Kurama: Yup. You did it again. *smiles* And I’m glad you did.

Gwen: *blushes* So am I. *her smile quickly fades*

Kurama: *gives Gwen a concerned look* Is something wrong?

Gwen: *frowns* We have gym together. YUCK!

Kurama: What to you mean, YUCK? I thought you liked gym.

Gwen: I DO! It’s the UNIFORM I hate. (A/N: If you ever watched a scene where they have gym class, you know the girls wear a short-short kinda leotard thing.)

Kurama: *chuckles* You’ll get used to it. /I know I will./

Youko: ~NOW who’s a hentai?~

[Seventh Period-Gym]

It’s the last class of the day and the class is playing basketball. More specifically HORSE.

The guys are playing but they don’t let the girls play because they don’t think they’re good enough. Gwen walks up and is about to change the rules.

Gwen: *crosses her arms* Can I play? Or are you guys afraid to face a girl?

The guys just look at her and laugh. (A/N: BIG MISTAKE!)

Boy #1: Sure, you can play sweetheart. *snickers* ‘There’s NO way a chick THAT hot can shoot hoops. This should be fun.’ (A/N: He is SO goin’ down)

Gwen: Then give me the rock! *he throws her the ball and Gwen walks to the circle in the middle of the court.* Okay, I’ll make a shot and if ANY of you guys make it too, I’ll go out with you tonight.

They guys cheer and hoot.

Gwen: Now, here’s the shot. *walks to the other end of the court* Now watch carefully.

She starts by dribbling the ball under her leg as she kicks them behind her; walks to the middle of the court, rotating on each foot and bouncing the ball between her legs. She stops mid-court, slaps her hand over her eyes and launches the ball BEHIND HER! She raised her hand up and flipped it down and..... “SWISH”...the ball goes through, nothing but net. They guys are standing with their mouths hanging open; Kurama just smiles.

Gwen: *with a satisfied smirk* SO. Who’s first?

One by one, the guys try to make the exact same shot, but all fail. Then Kurama steps up to the plate-so to speak.

Boy #2: There is NO WAY he’s gonna make this.

Kurama mimics her moves perfectly and launches the ball over his shoulder.... “SWISH”. He looks at Gwen and winks at her.

Kurama: Looks like we have a date tonight.

Gwen: Looks like it. *smiles*

Kurama: *walks up to her and whispers* Pick you up after training?

Gwen: You’re on.

The Squad watches this unfortunate turn of events and Ami fumes.

Ami: She is SO gonna pay!

[Keiko’s House-After Genkai’s training]

Gwen is putting on her red one-shoulder tank top with the rose embroidery along the collar, black flared hiphugger jeans, and black leather lug-soled boots. She also wore a black headband with silver trim. She looked at herself in the mirror and then at Trixie.

Gwen: What do you think? Will Kurama like it? *turns around*

Trixie: *perks up and squeaks*

Gwen: *giggles* Thanks. *hears the doorbell*

Keiko: *yells* I’ll get it! *runs down to answer the door* Oh, hi Shuichi. Looking good!

Kurama wore a light blue shirt with the first button undone, black pants and black leather shoes. His leather jacket was hooked on his finger and draped over his shoulder.

Kurama: Hi, Keiko. Is Gwen ready?

Gwen: *coming down the stairs* Hey, Shuichi. I’m ready to go.

Kurama lays eyes on his date and is speechless.

Kurama: You look fantastic!

Youko: ~I agree. Curves in ALL the right places. *growls seductively*~

Kurama: /Shut up, Youko!/ Shall we? *extends his arm out to her*

Gwen: Let’s. *takes his arm and walks out with him*

[The GigaPlex]

They walk up to the ticket booth and looks at the movie list.

Kurama: Wanna watch “Hero”?

Gwen: Yeah, I LOVE Jet Li!

Kurama: *looks at the ticket girl who looks utterly bored* Two tickets for “Hero” please.

Gwen reaches into ger purse for her money but Kurama stops her.

Kurama: My treat, milady. *smiles and pays for the both of them*

Gwen: {He is such a gentleman.} It’s almost about to start. *pulls Kurama playfully into the theater*

They quickly find two seats in the back row and sit down. The lights dim and the movie starts. Down the line, Kurama puts his arm around Gwen’s shoulder and she leans into his body. She breathes in and smells his cologne.

Gwen: {He smells so good.}

Kurama: *breathes in her perfume* /She smells yummy. Just like strawberries./

Kurama leans in closer to Gwen’s face. They were inches away from kissing when something crashes through the screen scaring the moviegoers away. Kurama and Gwen quickly stand up to see who this new foe was. Three ninjas that resembled Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat (A/N: Not mine.) stood in front of the kitsune and Gwen weapons ready. Kurama examines them and a spark of recognition crossed his face.

Kurama: They are in the same class as Touya.  

Gwen: And he would be....

Kurama: I fought him in the Dark Tournament. Touya was a member of Team Masho; a group of ninjas where each one was a master of a specific talent. Touya, himself, was a Master if Ice; it took everything I had to defeat him. So much so that it almost cost me my life.

Gwen: Great! More demons! {And they look like Sub-Zero. What is this; a video game?}

Lead Ninja: Move aside! We’ve come for the girl!

Kurama: *stands in front of her* Then you came here for nothing; I won’t allow you to take her. *takes a fighting stance*

Ninja #2: Wrong answer, boy. *they streak so fast, even Kurama had trouble keeping up.*

Kurama: Stay close to me.

Gwen: Right.

They all engage in a battle that was worthy of the movie they were just watching. Gwen and Kurama were backed into the movie stage with the ninjas poised for their ultimate ice attack.

Kurama pulled out his Rose Whip and struck one of the ninja’s hands, rendering him useless. Unfortunately the others used their ice to freeze his whip solid, causing it to break.

Kurama: /Because of their command over ice, all of my plant attacks are useless./

Gwen: {If only we could freeze THEM!}

Her sapphire burns brightly and the same thing that happened there that happened at school. She looks over at the emergency firehose and nods at it. The wheel slowly turns and a thick stream of water shoots at the ninjas as they launch their attack, freezing them solid. After they were transformed into ice statues, Kurama took this opportunity to smash them into pieces.

Gwen: Well, I’ve never had a date turn out like this.

Kurama: Indeed. What do you say we get out of here?

Gwen: Sounds like a plan.

[After the Date]

Kurama drives up to Keiko’s house and walks Gwen to the door.

Kurama: Well, considering we almost get killed by ninjas, tonight was interesting. I had fun.

Gwen: So did I. *giggles* So I’ll see you tomorrow?

Kurama: Yeah. See you then. *leans in for a kiss, and Gwen does the same*

Keiko: *opens the door* Gwen, it’s time.....WHOOPS!! *Gwen and Kurama move apart-FAST*

Sorry. *goes back in*

Gwen: {Oh, NOT AGAIN! Keiko, We REALLY need to talk!} *blushes* Bye, Kurama.

Kurama: *kisses her hand* Farewell, Milady. *winks and leaves for his car*

Gwen walks inside and grins. She sees Keiko with an apologetic look on her face.

Keiko: I’m REALLY, REALLY, REALLY SORRY!

Gwen: It’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok. *laughs* But next time I go out with Shuichi, I’m not coming back until you are all asleep. *winks*

Keiko: Next time? *smiles* So you DO like him. I KNEW IT!

Gwen: Maybe he is kinda cute. {Cute? He’s a HOTTIE AND A HALF!!!! AND ANOTHER QUARTER!} *runs upstairs and goes into her room* It almost happened again. Just once I wanna kiss him without being interrupted. *plops face down in her pillow and screams*

[Kurama’s House]

Kurama: I’m back, Mom!

Shiori: How was your date, sweetie?

Kurama: It was interesting. *smiles* We had fun.

Shiori: What movie did you go see?

Kurama: We went to see “Hero” with Jet Li.

Shiori: That’s nice, honey. So, did you kiss her? *chuckles*

Kurama: *blushes* MOM!? *chuckles* /I WISH!/ *kisses his mom good night* Night, mother. *smiles and walks to his room* Another kiss interrupted.

Youko: ~You COULD have kissed her at the door, you know.~

Kurama: /You never kiss on the first date. It’s called “being a gentleman”./

Youko: ~It’s called “making excuses”. You had the perfect chance and you chickened out.~

Kurama: /I did NOT! I’m being patient./

Youko: ~You’re hopeless.~

Kurama changes into his pajamas and goes to bed.

Kurama: /I just hope Gwen’s safe./ *drifts off to sleep*

Takei: *watching from a tree outside Kurama’s window* It doesn’t matter what you do. You won’t be able to protect her forever. She WILL be the Master’s bride.

***END of CHAPTER 6***

AJ: Okay, people. I’m gonna need some help for the next chapter. I wanna know what you want to happen next. What power do you want her to have next? What kind of moves should she use? Speak up. Review and make your opinions known. The ones who do will get a Kurama pic from me. Just e-mail me.

Kurama: Don’t let HIEILUVER hog them all, since she is the only one offering any input.

AJ: I won’t put up the next chapter until I get at least 10 reviews, and no sooner. So please review and review often. CIAO for now.
