I'm not so afraid of being associated with my fanfictions anymore. So I probably will be moving my fanfic updates onto my other journal: awriterofthings if you want to continue getting journal updates and clips.

It's just I forget to update here sometimes. And what with this not being a paid account anymore- it's hard sometimes to get past the ads and whatnot.

So add the above journal if you want to see updates.

Sorry about the wait. It took me awhile to announce it here on livejournal.

But I have updated The Blind Alley with it's eighth chapter, Incentive. I apologize for the layout of this chapter. For some reason firefox is not compatible with fanfiction dot net all of the sudden. So I think ff.net is being temperamental. I'll try to fix it as soon as the problem is fixed.

In the spirit of the worst holiday ever, I have a clip for you! ♥

She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t nervous. The plan wasn’t exactly fool-proof. It relied a lot on luck, on Giovanni’s guard being low, and on Gary’s “criminal” capabilities. Because what they were doing certainly wasn’t legal.

But, Misty figured while putting on the final touches to her own role, what goes around comes around. A little bit of criminal activity would be needed to outwit a criminal. And this was just the edge of the precipice. If they really had to rescue Ash from the WI organization, this wouldn’t be the first plans of questionable legality.

Misty was surprisingly pleased with herself though. The plan was really quite ingenious. Even Gary had been struck by how remarkable bold the undertaking was. It had Ash’s touch to it. Impulsive, reckless, throwing the entire pot into one roll- it was a risk Misty wasn’t accustomed to making on her own. But if she didn’t, then who would?

Despite the availability of Brock in Pewter or Tracey in Pallet… the two agreed that the less people knew of their plans the better. There was no need to bring more witnesses to their moment of indiscretion. They would have to be alone in this undertaking.

And time was of the essence. Not only was Ash’s wellbeing hanging in the balance, but Giovanni’s own guard would be down. He certainly wouldn’t expect an attack so soon after just being attacked.

Misty gave herself one last look over in the mirror. She didn’t even recognize herself. With a smile and a blow kiss to her reflection, Misty knew she was ready. -The Blind Alley (Chpt 8)

Happy single's awareness day, everyone. ♥

-Ooshii Kurai

Warning! Spoilers. It actually doesn't look that bad for some reason. I might actually enjoy that one.

-Ooshii Kurai

I have updated The Blind Alley with it's long awaited seventh chapter: Plan of Action.

Sorry for the extremely long wait. But I hope you enjoy it. Please read and review!

-Ooshii Kurai

Merry Christmas.

Sorry, I was previously and unavoidably detained by the world.

-Ooshii Kurai

Sorry about the long pause you all. Lots of problems- finals, failing computer, and whatnot. And no I don't have a clip or an update to provide you all.

I do have to apologize. Just so you all know- some of my fanfics might never be completed. I hate admitting so. Blind Alley will because it's for my cousin. But the others- might not. That's because I'm growing up. I'm in college now, working on writing things professionally. I won't really have time for my fanfics anymore. I have to write real books now.

I hope you all will enjoy reading my books someday. Not that I'll tell you who I am... sorry. I want to keep my online identity separate from my real one. But fanfiction.net might only be updated in passing from here on out.

With that being said, I shall leave you all with a wonderful little picture.



She so judo'ed his ass. :)

-Ooshii Kurai

Detective Conan: Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure is definately two thumbs up by Oosh'. Good mystery, good high adventure, and good history lesson all rolled up into one. They did their homework on this one! Keep your eye out for it when it finally comes to English Sub. It should be great.

-Ooshii Kurai

Omg. Yes it's a switch. Missing You has been taking off of pause status.

Unfortunately this means that Vindicated has taken it's place. But I gotta beef this story up a bit before I forget about it. So for those who have been so patiently waiting, a clip:

“I was just saying. Tropical Land might trigger a total recall instead of all these little memory spurts that he’s been getting the past month.”

“In Conan’s case recall might cause him emotional stress,” snapped Ran. “Dad, the doctor told you about this. We can’t force Conan to remember anything!”

“I’m not forcing him. Let’s just make a day of it. You like Tropical Land. If anything, Conan will enjoy himself.”

“No!”

[...]

“Conan-kun…”

“No! I don’t want to go there! I can’t- I won’t!”

“Co-“

“No! Leave me alone!” shrieked the boy as he thrust his face into the couch’s throw pillow. Ran touched his shoulders and he ripped them away from her, sobbing into the material. He didn’t even understand why he was so upset, so scared. He couldn’t articulate the sheer terror running through him. The image of the park brought strange pictures of decapitated figures, mangled bodies, guns and blood.

Why? He asked himself through mouthful of pillow. Why do I think of amusement parks this way? Why do they scare me? -Missing You (Chpt 2)

Please enjoy! The update should be up soon... I hope.

-Ooshii Kurai

My computer is dead. Yes... again.

Because this is like the fourth time this year my parentals are now discussing the idea of a replacement computer. A ibook just for college use- and leaving my nicer computer home where they can figure out what's wrong with it at their convience or rather when they can afford it's repairs. So until then I am officially MIA.

This message is just so none of you have to nag me miss me.

-Ooshii Kurai

Yes. Another update in the pokemon world. I forgot to clip it- oh well. At least it's posted for viewing pleasure.

The Blind Alley's sixth chapter Ransom Note is up. Please read review and enjoy.

-Ooshii Kurai

Huzzah! I have finally posted Vindicated's update.

Granted I forgot to announce it on LJ what with all the excitement following my twenty first birthday. The fourteenth chapter is up now though for viewing, My Name Is Kudo.

Please read, review, and enjoy it!

-Ooshii Kurai

I'm back. My computer is back from the shop. And the Vindicated update is officially completed.

So why isn't it up, you ask? That would be because I want to post it up on my birthday tomorrow to celebrate. That's right tomorrow is my 21st birthday. It's also the release of the last Harry Potter book. Which may or may not be a smart choice. But we shall see when we shall see.

I just wanted to let you all know I'm back. :)

-Ooshii Kurai

So I'm seriously considering rewriting the popular fanfiction I wrote back in high school- Crimson Tears. There were several things that didn't come out the way I wanted them too back then. I wasn't at the time able to write the story the way I had originally planned to write it. I've wanted since its completion to go back and write it the way I originally intended to.

The new rewrite will be titled Shades of Red. And instead of going off the idea of having elemental masters- the stone's abilities would be less like the one ring and more like an actual tool. There will be alot of things different but yet some things the same. The only reason I really want to rewrite it is because the new story would be almost completely a different story.

Now this hopefully won't be written for quite some time. There's still alot of planning to be done. And hopefully The Blind Alley will be further along by the time I actually post anything.

Until then, enjoy what fanfics are currently up. :)

-Ooshii Kurai

Bet no one saw this coming /sarcasam.

Please enjoy The Blind Alley's fifth chapter, posted exactly a month after the last update, Kidnapped. R+R+E! Read, Review and Enjoy!

-Ooshii Kurai

I'm just in a very pokemonish mood of late. And in honor of said mood, a clip:

“If you won’t accept authority then maybe you can understand this. I have men guarding this gym inside and out. Once I give the word, I can have you and your partner easily done away with.”

“You mean the six men with the hand guns that we disarmed at the back entrance?” said Clark smugly. “My partner easily took care of the last few guards at the front way too. What kind of game do you think we’re playing here, Giovanni? These are the big leagues now. You just don’t cut it anymore.”

“Perhaps not,” interceded a new voice. “But he doesn’t have to.”

There were two loud cracks of pokeballs hitting the gym floor. Thick bonds fastened themselves around Clark before he even had a chance to see the red flash. Clark’s pistol fell harmlessly to the floor.

Clark looked up. The trainer he had targeted was standing erect and fastening the now empty pokeballs back to his belt. He had released two very powerful pokemon. The vine wrap was compliments from the trainer’s bulbasaur. A squirtle and a pikachu stood in apt preparation for whatever use their trainer had in mind for them.

“You really are quite good.” -The Blind Alley (Chpt 5)

I hope you all enjoy. Don't worry. I'm still on the big V story too. I'm alternating between the two at each stopping point I hit.

-Ooshii Kurai

I know there are probably a few who are wondering what I've been up to. Truth is, I keep rewriting the next chapter of Vindicated because I'm trying really hard not to make it so sappy and unbelievable.

I've slowly come to the realization that there will be little to help this. After all, it was in the previous plans. Nothing can stop it now. Only move forward.

So anyhow, here's a clip from what I have so far.

After all the twisting, spinning, and blinding pain, it was several moments before Ran was able to gain back her senses. The noise of bullet fire subsided as the two crows realized how little effect their firearms were doing. It wouldn’t be long before they came after them.

Conan was still laid on top of her. Ran shook him urgently.

“Conan. Come on. We have to get out of here.”

But he didn’t respond. Ran could feel the warm sticky blood oozing- seeping over and in between her fingers as she held him. Fear scraped out her insides...

Ran frantically pulled herself up to her knees. Conan fell back in her arms limply. His eyes were closed.

He’s just unconscious. He has to be. He must have just hit his head…

Ran fought back them coming rush of emotions. They had no time for her to cry. -Vindicated (Chpt 14)

I hoped you all enjoyed it. Who knows when I'll actually finish it.

-Ooshii Kurai

Hurrah for updates. And I have updated The Blind Alley with its fourth chapter: Gym Battle. Please read, review, and whatever else you all do. ;)
