YO EVERYONE! oh and by the way...IS THIS SOME SORT OF CONSPIRACY?! For the past days there were NO UPDATES at all from everyone's stories and right now we're all pouring them in XD haha! wells, happy reading =D My feet froze as the knob shook, then the door moved. Hajime walked out and gave me a ‘were you listening?’ look. But my blank expression made him shrug it off and he was on his way home. The rest of the night was quiet and the party at the beach was canceled. We just ate what’s on the fridge and used spare champagne. “…for ZIPPER’s success” “Cheers!” “Cheers!” I went home that night only to find Zin’s room was locked. Could it be? I had my doubts but didn’t come a single inch closer to the door – I had enough of door suspense. And so, I spent the night in my basement room. Inside it was as usual, cold and old. It was neater, though; new walls and a green marbled floor - could Zin do all this while I was away? 'CLAKLE' the sound of wood voiced, Lorelei was there on the desk – lying quietly, patiently. How long have I left her there? “Hi Lorelei, how’s life as a lifeless doll?” ‘Oh the usual, sitting here gathering dust and all,’ I expect her to answer – but there was none. I closed my eyes and heaved a sigh, there was something wrong but I can’t put a finger on it. I lay down, completely tired; my limbs stopped moving even if I wanted to stretch them. Oh joy – another sleepless night. Was it the champagne? No – I don’t think it has enough alcohol. Then suddenly, the sound of new steps pitter pattering on the pavement woke me. I closed my eyes and listened – one person. Is he alone? I don’t know. RING! RING! RING! The phone rang. I ran outside and picked it up. “Sorry if I woke you up,” the person on the other side said. “…Alice?” I asked in disbelief. “Yeah…can you let me in? I need to hide.” ‘Hide?’ Nevertheless I listened closely, its Alice alright. So I went out the yard and opened the gate, “Come on in,” As she came in I noticed a red mark on her cheek but I didn’t dare ask. Inside I waited – but she remained silent. “Were you asleep?” She finally said, referring to my pajamas “Uh…no. It’s okay, don’t worry about that. What happened?” I calmly but persistently asked, still looking at her sore cheek. "..." she couldn't answer. Out of the blue her cellphone rang. Hesitantly she pulled it out, checking who it was. “Aren’t you going to answer that?” She shook her head and turned it off. Then mine rang. Great, I avoided the door suspense and now its phone suspense! I might as well check – oh, a text message.
‘Is Alice with you? I can’t contact her. Dad saw Greg at the Martini bar and he’s gulping a lot. Please tell Alice, he might get into trouble, I’ll head over there too. – Yuki’ “Greg’s at a bar,” I said bluntly. “What? That guy gets easily drunk!” Without another word I got dressed and we headed out. Alice hesitated to take a step outside since she was hiding after all, so I hijacked Zin’s car for the night. Upon arriving we ran inside and found ourselves already in the middle of a fight. “Hajime-kun! Please, Greg didn’t mean that…” “Don’t butt in, girl or I’ll hit you too!” “I’m over here; don’t even think about hurting Yuki!” Nevertheless Hajime raised an arm. Everything was so fast; only the crisp sound of flesh against flesh that filled the air woke our dazed souls – overcoming the rhythmic choir of the crowd. “We already talked about this,” I heard Alice say. “But touch my friends and I swear it’ll cost you more than your job.” “Alice, I still love you. But with your parents, I don’t think we could ever –” “That’s not the problem! If you really do then I suppose you might have put me BEFORE your job; for the very LEAST fight for me.” He just stood there in front of her, hesitating to voice up what’s on his mind. But he let it out anyways, “With people as powerful as your folks, I don’t think I can.” “Fine” Swift and silent, Hajime dashed out of the bar and we never saw him again. After our blood had cooled we all went to a nearby garden to chill. There, Alice explained everything - Hajime was, apparently, 'disapproved' by their parents and threatened his job if he keeps seeing her. The minutes that followed were silent...

“Hey, what do you guys wanna be when you grow up? I want to be a top notch designer, maybe then mom and dad will respect me.” Alice muttered - breaking the sheer silence amongst us. “Me…I wanna beat the crap outta that Hajime freak, oh and become a world class hairstylist.” Greg said between hicks as he steadily put his weight on the sakura tree. “I might get my hands on Britney’s hair – wait, she does have hair now, right?” “Mmmm...I want to be a world renowned musician and maybe a model as a sideline” Yuki cheerily mused. “And how about you, Kat,” Alice asked as she leaned towards my way. I didn’t know honestly, though I always find crime shows cool and I wanted to work in the FBI, so let’s give that a go. But before I could answer, an ‘ancient’ car drove by and both Alice and Greg froze out of pure fear. “The witch has arrived.”…“I think you meant ‘death has arrived’.” ...DUN!...DUUUN!...DUUUUUUUUUUN!!! Welcome back, one and all to Zen's corner =D and please pay no heed to the helplessly good looking men behind me - they're just there. *ahem* yes, I'm an MCR fan - which explains why Gerard's huge glorious face plastered on my wall - no I'm not obsessed!
 As you can see, the corner was relocated and I got a haircut. Thing is, I had to move to a new house in a new neighborhood since the old one keeps on crashing whenever I open a lot. So yeah, I moved the whole cast out of their houses and decided to move them here with me. Unfortunately it didn't quite go as planned. But anyways, as to compensate for my absence, I drew a little something for you guys. But as you can see, it's not yet quite done ^^" I'll be finishing it soon enough. If you'd like to see the lineart, please go to kanzenatsume.deviantart.com ^^, "ZEN! What are you doing in there?! Get out of that BLASTED room and get some fresh air! Are you worshiping your laptop or something?" O_o ehehe, grandma's calling... "I got a date grandma!" Epic-Escape-Fence-Jump "Date? WHAT DATE?! YOU COME BACK HERE THIS INSTANT YOUNG LADY!"...until we meet again my loves~!
