ickaimpRandom: HK Bad Subtitle Award goes to re-naming Luffy from One Piece's 'Gumu-gumu Shotgun' attack as 'Latex Strap'.
So we ended up reading the last half of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne today (Must now go back and re-read all of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lazulisong's KKJ fics ^__^), the latest two chapters of the FullMetal Alchemist Manga (OMG! OMG! OMFG!!!!!) and reread Meg's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
mydec while doing laundry.
Because doing laundry meant we had no bras or sports undershirts we use as night gowns and it's damn uncomfortable walking around doing what appears to be holding in your guts to keep something the size of two large grapefruit from bouncing around. Reading's easy to do one-handedly. Bless who ever invented bras, amen.
But after which, Voices woke up and decided they wanna write.
Shoujou.
After I finished screaming in horror, we compromised. ^^;; See below. *cackles*
... forgot to do art. Dangit. Sorry. Will post scans tomorrow. Gomen nasai.
+++ TGZ: KKJ +++
Saguru's shadow fell on top of him as the detective peered over his shoulder. "You're reading shoujou?" Came the disbelieving comment.
"Aoko left it for me." Kaito held up the volume he was reading. "Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne. She left a note saying since I'm such a Kaitou fan, I might enjoy it."
"Ah." Saguru nodded. "How is it?"
"The cops are incompetent, the heists are easy, the costuming is flamboyant-"
Saguru's dry comment cut off the critique. "Sounds normal for a Kaitou."
Kaito tilted his head back, grinning at the stoic-faced detective. "Yup."
"So who wins?" There was a tiny half smirk on the corner of Saguru's lips, if you knew what you were looking for, that told that the blond knew exactly who won.
"They all do." Kaito smiled, willing to play along. "But Jeanne ends up with the guy who'd been chasing her around declaring that both forms were his and no one else's."
"Ah." Saguru nodded sagely. A thoughtful look flickered across his face for a moment before he leaned over the back of the sofa, wrapping his arms around Kaito in a solid, if awkward embrace. Saguru's lips moved briefly against Kaito's neck and it took a moment to decipher the muffled determined word spoken there.
"Mine."

+++ TGZ: Piercings+++
One of the things he hadn't expected from his little 'excursion' today was the pain. Not much pain, more like a residual tenderness, but it was enough to be irritating. It made sense of course, flesh had been ripped and was now trying to heal, but it still made finding a position comfortable enough to fall asleep.
Saguru shifted next to him, sleepily responding to Kaito's restlessness. He probably should have slept in 'his' room tonight, but they'd ended up talking and he'd been too lazy to move. He sighed. He was loosing his edge here, being lulled by the sense of security. It was becoming an old mantra, but he'd yet to do anything to stop it either.
Hell, in his head, he was still thinking as a kaitou even though he didn't need to steal anymore. He didn't even really want to, but that part of his brain wouldn't turn off either. He really needed to make up his mind. Was he a Kaitou or wasn't he?
One of Saguru's hands brushed the sore part of his anatomy and Kaito hissed in reaction. Dammit, he was never doing that again. Once was enough. Never ever. What the hell were girls thinking when they did this? Voluntarily no less!
"Kaito-kun?" Saguru's voice was hesitant as the fingers lingered, just brushing the skin. The touch was gentle, but still enough to send flames of pain over the over sensitised flesh. "The hell-?"
The detective came all the way away, rolling over to turn on the bed-side lamp for illumination, grabbing the glasses that were laying there as well. Kaito sat up, grimacing at the increase in light, even as he understood Saguru's necessity for it. The blond's night vision wasn't nearly as good as his own.
"You pierced your ears?!" Saguru exclaimed as he reached out, tilting Kaito's face to tilt it this way and that as he examined the small studs in Kaito's ears.
"Yup." Kaito flinched again as Saguru poked one with a cautious fingertip. Kaito batted the hand away. "Stop that! They're still sore!"
"Good." Saguru frowned for a moment. "What were you thinking?! Piercing your ears?"
Kaito almost sighed in exasperation. "I thinking that I was tired of clip-on earrings hurting my ears. I was thinking I'd only wear these until they healed in a few weeks then not have to worry about wearing them again. I wasn't thinking it was a big deal." He glared at Saguru. Besides, what business of the detective's was it if he got his ears pierced? It was better than piercing other things! "It's not like I got a tattoo or something highly identifiable."
Saguru made a muttered comment about tattooing something on someone's ass that Kaito decided to ignore under the guise of maintaining their friendship without falling into a name calling fight that someone --namely someone named 'Mum'-- might over hear.
... that and Saguru was pretty creative about tattoo ideas... Points for filthy imagination there.
The detective gave him another disbelieving look. "I'm hoping you were at least hygienic about it and didn't use one of Mum's sewing needle or something."
"No, -Dad-." Kaito resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "I went to the tattoo place down the way and had them do it. All sterile and hygienic with a minimum of fuss. I'm not stupid, Saguru." Sticking oneself with needles... ouch. Besides, sewing needles were smaller than the earring studs. He'd checked.
Saguru had the grace to look abashed. "Sorry. Just... a bit surprised."
"I kind of got that." Kaito commented dryly. Tantei over-protectiveness in gear... check. Saguru was going to make a great parent someday. Probably got it from chasing his mother around when he was younger.
The detective got a thoughtful look on his face, cupping Kaito's chin again and examining the earrings once more. They were just regular silver posts with a black 'jewel' on the end. He hadn't been interested in the sparkling fake glass gems --something about stealing the real thing taking away your taste for the fake ones-- and the plain silver and gold hadn't attracted him in any way either. The black worked, it was subtle, went with the majority of his clothing, which was mostly dark anyway, and it matched his name. Well, partly anyway. He wasn't going to start wearing black feathers from his ears.
"They're not bad." Saguru finally commented, the contemplative look fading into something close to muted humour. "Think I should pierced my ears too?"
Kaito thunked him on the top of the head for the comment, then reached across the snickering detective to turn off the light. "Definitely not."
Saguru chuckled in return, obediently laying back down and taking off the glasses to place on the night stand as Kaito crawled back over him. "Look at it this way." Kaito grinned, curling up the way he had been before Saguru had turned on the light. "I hate your blue contacts, you hate my earrings. It evens out."
"Yes, but you can take off your earrings." Saguru pointed out. "I kind of need those to see."
"To hide, you mean." Kaito snarked. He really disliked how the blond looked with the blue contacts. Too foreign. He liked the glasses better. More honest.
"Pot." Saguru yawned. "Kettle."
Point. He made a face. But disguise was his job, not Saguru's. Saguru's job was to be honest, to uncover the truth. It was bad enough Saguru lied or misinformed others about not knowing the Kid. It irritated him that the detective crossed that line without questions or asking. He just did it. And Kaito couldn't, and wouldn't, ask him to stop.
Even if it was equally irritating that Saguru refused to learn lock picking because that was too far 'over the line'. He'd lie, but he wouldn't learn thieving skills to protect himself.
Saguru wiggled deeper under the covers, wrapping himself back around Kaito. "You do realise that Auntie Kitty is going to kill you for not letting her be there when you pierced them."
"Eeh?" Kaito raised an eyebrow.
The detective nodded firmly, if sleepily. "Trust me. You're gonna pay for that. Does Mum know yet?"
"... No." Why did he have a feel of dread creeping up the back of his spine now?
This earned him a sleepy smug smile. "Just wait. She'll probably try to trade earrings with you."
He only had the one pair... And he hadn't been planning on telling 'Kaasan or Aoko. Suddenly picturing what their reactions were going to be terrified him.
Saguru's breathing evened out beside him as his mind kept frantically running in circles.
... Just how long did it take pierced ears to heal up again?

+++ TGZ Drabble: Darts +++
It took the guys at the local pub three different visits to figure out that he was good at throwing darts.
It wasn't until the fifth game that they insisted that he step back a few feet.
On the eight game, he stood on the other side of the small room. And still didn't miss a shot.
In retrospect, on the ninth game, landing the darts on top of each other may have been over kill.
After the twelfth game, he was allowed back to the line where the rest of them stood.
But now he had to play blindfolded.

Saw Howl's Moving Castle Saterday night. Loved it. Lotta fun, some major deviations from the book (which we've read), but loved the visuals (the castle moving, Howl's bird form *drools*) and the characters. Some minor plot WTF towards the end.
The only problems we had with it were one: it was advertised as subbed, and we got dubbed. Two: The audio and visual cut out three times.
-but we got our money back. ^^;;
Wanna see it again, subtitled and without the afore mentioned problems. *Wiggles happily*

Howl's Moving Castle was awesome. I loved Karushifa XD. But dubbed...? No voice could ever replace Kimura Takuya. ((Kimura fan here)). But yeah, plot got kinda weird in the end. Didn't really get the whole "break-the-castle-and-rebuild-it-in-the-same-scene" thing. And the whole thing with Kabu in the end was quite... ... ... er..., interesting?

Date: 2005-07-12 08:09 am (UTC)People are afraid to read shoujo because it is CRACKED and then they read it and they realize it's CRACKED but it's great!
Also, Chiaki is fifteen billion kinds of awesome.

Still. Shoujo disturbs me.
Will stick to my shonen with the explosions and the fights and the gore, thank you. ^^;;

Really really wasn't expecting Saguru to freak out the way he did. He was fine with it until we started to write. ~_~
we recently got our second holes re-peirced, very happy about it. *wiggles happily*

Date: 2005-07-12 08:51 pm (UTC)espeically since a few episodes later, you had a guy fighting with his giant floating balls.
... insert your own punch line here...
I think the ending might have made more sense if they had explored the doors more, her going to Howl's world. ~_~
Kinda hoping that it'll make more sense in the Sub or something... The HK version of 'the Cat Returns' made a HELL of a lot more sense than the 'offical' Disney version.

Date: 2005-07-16 07:59 pm (UTC)Anyway: KKJ rocks XcD
Need to find my manga and translations again (or the vhs with the german dubs Xcd)
And Kaito with earrings!!! XcD !
... The french dub for Howl's castle was pretty good I think... Although I haven't read the book at all. %adds to 'should read' list%
O, swear not by the potatoes, the laughing potatoes,
That daftly changes in its mad orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise mad.
<- that drabble generator is fun! XcD thanks goover ^^
*howls with laughter*
Date: 2005-07-18 02:19 am (UTC)That is one, goofy dub change. What were they thinking?!
KKJ bit fun. *snerk*
*blinks* You forgot Akako... *snicker* She'd gift him with a Weird set... and I LIKE Morgan's idea!
