One-liners
All the one-liners (or multiple liners, XD) I've churned out up to now, :)
Bleach
*It wasn't true. Any minute she would wake up and Yoruichi-sama would appear behind her, scaring her. A tear fell as the minutes began to pass and no one arrived.
*Yoruichi gently placed a kiss on Soi Fong's cheek, delighting in the surprised look on her face. Pulling back, she quickly popped a candy into Soi Fong's open mouth and dissapeared into the trees shouting, "Tag. You're it."
*Soi Fong held up the tiny vice captain of the 11th Division and rose a brow in Kenpachi's direction. "You seem to have misplaced something."
*Orihime glanced outside with a determined look etched upon her features. "Ishida-kun, I don't see any sakura. How can we have a magic moment without sakura?"
*Pausing in her walk past the gates of the 11th Division, Nemu watched as the Vice Captain flipped through the air to land on Ikkaku's shoulder, promptly gnawing on his head. Nemu tried to contain her laughter, but it spilled out, the sound shocking both herself and the two members of the 11th Division.
*Ichigo leaned towards Tatsuki, silently pointing in Orihime's direction while raising one brow. Tatsuki only sighed and nodded. The two friends both shivered as Orihime bounced towards them, hands full with her latest cooking experiment.
*Ichigo rolled his eyes but let Rukia share the bed. She gave him a dazzling smile and before he knew what hit him he was laying on the floor while she tucked the blanket around herself.
*Ishida lightly pushed his glasses up, sniffing in disdain. Kurosaki may have raw power but he lacked finesse and grace.
*Hitsugaya lunged, sword aimed at the annoying grin on Gin's face. In a matter of seconds, he was on his back, the breath knocked out of him while that bastard stood over him, gloating.
*Ikkaku watched with fascination as Rangiku managed to down cup after cup of alcohol. His eyes wandered lower and he wondered if her chest size had anything to do with her tolerance.
*Orihime soon learned that the two shinigami living with her made life more interesting, especially when Rangiku took every opportunity to tease her captain until he was red in the face.
*Jinta muttered to himself as he held the box from Yuzu, jumping in surprise as Yoruichi snatched it from her hands, Ururu conveniently hiding behind the taller woman; he was never going to live this one down.
*Kuukaku leaned across the table, enjoyed the way Soi Fong's cheeks flushed as she asked if any black cats had been spotted in the area lately.
*Orihime held Ishida tightly in the darkened room, proclaiming there was no need for a nightlight when they had the Shun Shun Rikka!
*Ikkaku watched as Isane fumbled slightly with the ointment as she treated the bite marks on his head; reaching out a hand, he smirked and told her she was still too shy around him after all this time.
*Tatsuki approached the new girl in gym class and was delighted as she found herself pinned to the floor within a matter of minutes; this new girl had lots of potential.
*Kuukaku moved her piece a few spaces ahead, helping herself to more money while Kaien was distracted trying to remove the plastic houses from Ganju's mouth.
*Soi Fong regarded the taller girl carefully, trying to figure out her motive and wondering about the meaning of this sugary confection.
*Kenpachi blinked, the only reaction to seeing Yachiru handle her sword with her other hand; she was coming along nicely in her training.
*Orihime's eyes widened in horror, "Ishida-kun! If you don't know the moonwalk, the entire race of mutant bananas will become extinct!"
*The trees provided extra coverage as the two skillfully blended into the shadows while trying to outdo each other in their evening training; Soi Fong scarecely had time to blink before Yoruichi appeared, pinning her to the base of one of the trees and lightly running a finger across her nose before dissapearing into the shadows once more.
*Kon wasn't sure which was worse, Rukia's diagrams or Isshin's props and reinactments.
*Soi Fong vowed never again to get within ten feet of Yachiru after it took weeks to wash the glitter from her hair.
*Tatsuki rose a brow as Renji lazily leaned against her bedroom doorway drinking the last of the juice; within seconds she had managed to land a punch, proudly holding the juice high as Renji let out a shallow moan from the floor.
*Gin never understood why Yachiru constantly pestered him to laugh like a clown.
*Rangiku held her captain tightly, ecstatic that he had remembered her birthday; when she finally released him, his eyes were wide and he proclaimed next year she would be getting a stuffed animal so he could avoid being suffocated by her chest.
*Tousen would always become silent whenever anyone questioned him about his ribbon twirling skills.
*Rangiku soon learns that girl talk in the 8th Division is nearly impossible when a certain captain tries to listen in and offer advice.
*Orihime stares at Rukia's creation in wonder, hands clasped to her breast, "Kuchiki-san, you are a genius!"
*As Kon is forced to watch Orihime blow bubbles his heart nearly explodes from joy as her chest heaves with each blow; Ichigo notices the drool running down his mouth and Kon sobs as he's thrown into the closet.
*Ururu shared a shy smile with Yoruichi, the sound of Jinta's shriek traveling through the shop as he discovered his new hair style.
*Byakuya finds it dificult to sleep in the days following Hisana's death; everything is so quiet and cold around him.
*Ikkaku dreams of the day he can finally surpass his captain; he also had nightmares of the day he must fight his vice captain.
*Jinta demanded that Ururu owed him far more than taking over his chores, but this time he was going easy on her; it had nothing at all to do with the fact that Tessai was rounding the corner.
*Urura doesn't want much, the frequent hair rufflings and smiles from Urahara are more than enough to make her happy.
*People claimed that she never smiled yet Nemu ignored the talk, smiling only for the one person who appreciated the sight.
*Orihime carefully picked up the feather from her box of treasures and handed it to Ishida, calmly explaining that the mutant ducks had left it behind as a 'thank you' for saving them from the evil colony of fire ants that had threatened to destroy their world and he better take care of it else...her words trailed off leaving Ishida wondering what would happen if he failed to protect the feather.
*Byakuya watched as Rukia carefully explored the garden, shoulders stiff as she held herself in check among the Kuchiki clan; glancing up at the sky he could only hope that Hisana was finally as ease now that he had found her sister.
Fruits Basket
*Hiro watched as Kisa ran towards him, her smile bright, only to stop, eyes widening in realization. In the back of his mind he wished he was still cursed
*Yuki watched as Kyou lightly stroked Tohru's hair when he thought no one was watching. Shigure only rose an eyebrow as the pencil in Yuki's hand snapped in half.
*Tohru carefully carried the bucket of water towards the grave and sat before it, smiling the entire time. For once she had a moment to herself and she was not one to waste it. Scrubbing the gravestone, Tohru shared every bit of information with her mother that she could. In a way, it was just like old times.
*Kagura watched the clear, blue sky and couldn't help but smile. The days were still passing and she was learning that not everything revolved around Kyou. A cat crossed her path and her heart did not shatter. In time, perhaps the mere sight of a cat would not remind her of him.
*Momo watched with wide eyes as Momiji bounced around excitedly. Clutching the sleeves of her dress, she allowed a shy smile to peek through, hesitantly approaching him. He pulled her into a hug and spun her around in circles. His laughter was infectious and she soon found herself giggling.
*Life has a funny way of messing with a person's mind. Kagura smiled brightly at Kyou, lightly holding his hand and for once he found himself appreciating her company.
*Kyou covered his ears and closed his eyes, muttering as Momiji hopped around him in a circle singing nonsense. The noise stopped and Kyou cautiously opened one eye only to fall backwards in surprise as Momiji pounced on him and began the song once more. Whoever had convinced him that he needed a theme song needed to die. Painfully
*Yuki broke out in hives, causing Torhu to panic as she tried to think of what could have caused it. Pointing to the brick of cheese, Yuki sighed in defeat as Tohru only stared blankly. A rat allergic to cheese?
*Shigure paged through the comic, ignoring the phone even after his editor began to leave death threats when the answering machine kicked in.
*Saki eyed the boy before her, raising one brow and making sure he knew just what she was trying to get across; Yuki nodded and she smiled, knowing he had understood the silent message.
*Tohru's heart broke as Momiji shared the story of his mother; holding him close, she only wished she could offer more than silent sympathy.
*Shigure wondered what would happen if he ever dared to interupt Akito's moments of rage by kissing her.
*She had never expected to see him again, much less standing in her doorway.
*Kyou would never admit it, but he was rather fond of Kisa; cats had to stick together after all.
*Shigure was amazed by the ideas that freely flowed from Saki's mouth; too late he wondered if she would ever consider a job as a ghost writer.
*Mine fussed over Ritsu, grinning as the outfit began to come together and wondering how Ayame managed to have the magic touch each time.
*Arisa was heartbroken at the thought of never seeing him again and even though she tried to forget, her hands would involuntarily clench the hem of her apron whenever she saw someone who reminded her of Kureno enter the shop.
*Ayame's face brightened, his eyes actually starting to sparkle as Yuki valiantly tried to back away from the lace-trimmed monstrosity.
*Momiji watched the stage, giggling as Kyou muttered his lines and Tohru emphatically answered with her own.
*Shigure sighed dramatically as Kagura chased Kyou throughout the house leaving a trail of damage through their path.
*Saki smiled as Arisa began to blush; it was such fun to catch her normally tough friend off guard each day.
*Hatsuharu set the cup of tea before Rin, ignoring her glare as he sat beside her and studied her profile.
*Momiji stared out the window watching the rain fall as he made up songs to pass the time.
*Tohru held Momiji's hand and together they danced through Shigure's house, laughing the entire time.
*Tohru held both of her friends tightly, wishing she could tell them just how much she appreciated everything they had protected her from over the years.
*Hatori sipped his coffee as slowly as he could, wishing it would somehow prolong his meeting with Ayame and Shigure.
*Ayame fingered the lace with a delicate touch, his eyes meeting Mine's; together they let loose a loud squeal, dropping the lace and jumping up and down in excitement.
*Momiji couldn't help but stare in wonder as Momo began to shyly hum along with him; his sister was more adorable than he had ever thought!
*After Yuki's fan club had left the house, Megumi had turned to her, swearing that fangirls were the scariest creatures he had ever met.
*Hatori raises a brow in disbelief as Shigure shouts, "Ha-san, Aya and I are as pure as the fallen snow!"
*Kakeru only laughs when Yuki's patience runs out and he threatens to send him flying out the window
*Each day Yuki enters the student council room and wonders why he ever agreed to this in the first place.
*When Yuki is around, Machi finds herself believing that life isn't so bad.
*Kimi shared a look with Kakeru, eyes lighting up as they both advanced on Yuki ignoring his exasperated shout of, "No!"
*Kyou quietly snuck up behind Tohru as she hurried through the kitchen; the startled gasp that escaped her mouth quickly turning into a bright smile as she spotted him.
Full Metal Alchemist
*Al carefully picked up the small kitten, his heart warming as it began to purr. Gently stroking it's fur, he smiled as the tiny creature began to knead his arm. Kittens made everything right within the world.
*Each day was the same. Riza would dutifully shadow Colonel Mustang, watching over him in her own quiet way, the knowledge that he was safe from harm causing a smile to appear on her face.
*Roy curbed the urge to run as Hughes tracked him down and flug an arm over his shoulder while whipping out pictures of his daughter. The pictures and stories weren't so bad after a while. Though he hated to admit it, he had almost began to look forward to them.
*Ed opened the door, ready to yell for Winry to hurry up if she wanted to come along. The words froze in his throat as he took in the scene before him. Silently closing the doors, Ed stumbled through the house and out the front door, nearly knocking over Al in his haste to escape. Once he was a safe distance away, he shuddered and tried to forget the sight of her lovingly crooning to her wrench as she polished it.
*Izumi quickly looked behind her shoulder, confused. A loud, panting noise kept following her wherever she walked but there was nothing to see.
*Ed had never been prouder of his brother than the moment Al had achieved alchemy.
*Havoc mourned the fact that all the good ones were taken as Winry dragged Ed from the building.
*Winry stared Roy down until he relented, smirking as he began moving over to make room on the couch.
*Carefully setting the brush on the dresser, Winry eyed the ribbon for a moment before tying it around Den's neck.
*Even on their off day, everyone was prepared for the worst with weapons hidden under their clothes and eyes ready to scan the crowds.
Full Metal Panic
*Sousuke pulled the trigger of his weapon, effectively destroying the obvious spying device. At his side, Kaname struggled to control her breathing and he prided himself on quick action. A sudden thwap to the head made him turn and face the now irrate girl.
"Sousuke! It was just a photo booth!"
*Kurtz smiled as Kyouko laughed, Ren blushed prettily, and Kaname pretended to ignore him. He had almost forgotten how fun flirting with high school girls could be.
*Sousuke looked from Kurtz to Mao and back again, a fine sheen of sweat starting to develop along his brow. Kurtz only laughed and pushed him forward, his hand brushing along the female's back end. An enraged shriek filled the air as Melissa chased Sousuke through the small aparment while Kurtz shouted after them, "Welcome to the club!"
*Sousuke quickly learned that Kaname handled a car like she handled everything else-hard and quick.
Inuyasha
*Kagome held the completed jewel in her hands and closed her eyes, making a wish. With a bittersweet smile she watched as Kikyou smiled, embracing Inuyasha. It was for the best.
*Mama only nodded, Souta shrugged his shoulders, and Jii-chan thoughtfully rubbed his chin; there were worse choices for college.
*Inuyasha pouted, glaring at Kagome. "What's not to trust?" Hand fingering the hilt of Tessaiga, he eyed it thoughtfully while glancing at the beads.
*Inuyasha held Kagome close. "She's not you."
*Shippou eyed the young youkai children sitting before him with a superior look. Holding out a lollipop, he began, "Your first lesson, remember it well."
*Passing a field of lilies, Kohaku wondered why he felt they should somehow be important. Hours later tears streamed down his eyes as he tried to forget the memory that resurfaced.
*Kagome stood, mouth agape, pointing at Inyasha and Shippou. Sango patted her shoulder in comfort. "It was bound to happen at some point."
*"My sword is cooler." Inuyasha barely had time to think of a reply before his brother dissapeared. Blinking, he wondered if the whole thing had been his imagination. One thing was certain, no more late nights with Miroku and sake.
*Rubbing the bump on his head, the youkai lord tried to figure out just why he had been tossed from the house. A few hundred years absence was nothing compared to their lifespan. It wasn't like he had completely forgotten them.
*Inuyasha swore as Sango and Miroku outright burst into laughter after he had appeared. He tried to threaten them but that only made them laugh harder. If it wasn't for those damn fins he would shut them up before they could even blink
*"He's such a pervert. And a lecher."
Jaken sighed. "He's such a stick in the mud."
"At least you're not constantly groped!"
"At least you get to first base!"
*Kikyou refused the soul, despite the protests of the Shinadamachuu. It nudged her lightly, eyes pleading but she only smiled. Her time had ended long ago, but now she could rest.
*Miroku lightly stroked the smooth skin of Sango's hand, enjoying the shy smile that appeared on her face. Her happiness radiated from the small smile and he prided himself on being the only person to ever see her this way.
*Midoriko studied the small fire cat before her with an appraising eye. The creature transformed into it's larger form and she smiled, noting the intelligent look in her eyes. She would make a fine companion.
*Being one with the wind gave her such glorious freedom. And quite the alibi when it came to playing pranks on those she knew.
*Sesshoumaru rose an eyebrow in distaste as the small youkai approached, loudly informing him that she was here to see Rin. Motioning to Rin, he told Jaken to keep an eye on the two before making a quick escape.
*Shiori enjoys the rare moments her mother speaks about her father; she just wishes it wouldn't make her mother so sad afterwards.
*Before she jumps through the well, Kagome grabs her brother and holds him clos, telling him to watch over everyone while she's gone.
*She had been so mad as Hiten smirked, ruffling her hair and saying they would be back soon; she wonders if she would have reacted differently if she had known it was goodbye.
*Weilding Tensaiga after learning about the Meidou Zangetsuha, Sesshoumaru realizes that his father may have had plans for him all along.
*Kikyou often wondered how something so small could cause so much trouble as she stared at the glittering Shikon no Tama.
*Jaken had sworn up and down that surprising Sesshoumaru on his birthday was not a good idea but Rin was bound and determined to make it the best day ever.
*Inuyasha nearly died as he opened the door to find Kagome's mother in nother but her lingerie; squeaking out an excuse, he hurried down the hall, the sound of laughter trailing after him.
*Tsubaki lightly ran her hands through Kikyou's hair, absent-mindedly plaiting a few strands together as she contemplated Kikyou's reaction to what she had in mind.
*Inuyasha grabbed Sango's shoulder, turning her so they were face to face, "Just jump the damned pervert already."
*Kikyou allowed herself a rare moment of glee as she tied the new ribbon in her hair, shyly glancing in the mirror to see the results.
*Shippou pointed out the rainbow causing Kagome to smile brightly while Inuyasha muttered under his breath and Miroku took advantage of Sango's distraction.
*Jaken rubbed his temples wearily as Rin finally settled down after a nightmare; for once he found himself suspicious of Sesshoumaru-sama's timely absence.
*Sesshoumaru watched as Rin snuck up on Jaken and poked him quite hard in the side making the toad demon jump into the air and shriek like a woman; it was all he could do not to crack a smile.
*As she watched Kohaku slice through the demons, a part of Sango's mind was proud of the fact that he had learned how to use the move she had taught him to his advantage.
*Ayame knew tht Kouga would chase after Naraku until he was defeated; she also knew that she would wait forever for Kouga to return to her
*Ginta clutched at his sides while Hakkaku struggled to breathe; together they ran after Kouga, wearily yelling at him to slow down.
*Kanna bought the mirror to Kagura, silently pointing out the whirling skirts and luxurious fabrics; Kagura only rolled her eyes and told her nothing would ever replace the kimono.
*Izayoi's nose wrinkled in laughter as he entered the doorway, escaping from the rain, "You smell like wet dog."
*Inuyasha would never again help Shippou pull of his band-aids; he was still picking dirt out of his teeth from Kagome's 'sit.'
*Myogua quickly learned that however soft Kirara's fur was, she was not the safest place to take a nap.
*Bankotsu still wasn't sure if it was easier to play poker with the guy with multiple personalites or the guy that was more interested in how pretty the cards were.
*Ayame wondered what it would be like to have such close friends like Ginta and Hakkaku; she hoped one day she would be able to find out.
*The future is uncertain, but Sango refuses to give up until she accomplishes her goals.
*Rin stares at Jaken, eyes watering as he stammers out an excuse as to why her flowers had to 'go away.'
*Kagome was prepared for a night of pampering herself but not for the familiar man sitting on the couch with his arm around her mother, talking and laughing with Souta and Jii-chan as if he had never tried to kill her and her friends in the past; it was enough to make her faint.
*The wind whipped through her hair and Miroku found himself thinking that nothing could ever compare to the beauty of Sango when she allowed herself a moment of peace.
Negima
*Konoka smiled brightly as she managed to corner Setsuna with a comb and a handful of ribbons. "Seechan! You promised I could!"
Setsuna closed her eyes, sighing in defeat. Konoka gleefully began to pull her hair free from its normal style, fingers running through the short strands. Pausing, she giggled, placing a gentle kiss on Setsuna's nose.
*The Baka Rangers were determined to hold their next picnic in Evangeline's resort after the stories Yue shared.
*Yue handed Nodoka the overdue book slip, winking as she pointed out Negi and whispered, "You know what you have to do."
*Konoka pouted as she poked her finger with the knitting needle for the umpteenth time but brightened as she thought of just how cute Secchan would look with a new scarf.
*Negi blissfully chewed the caramel roll, enjoying the sweet taste until he was ambushed from behind, Kaede's arms practically breaking his ribs
Rurouni Kenshin
*Megumi studied Kenshin as she finished checking the still-healing wounds from the fight in Kyoto. He had known there was a chance of never returning from the city and yet he had only chosen to say goodbye to one person. Kaoru. With a sigh, she nodded to let him know the examination was over and watched him as he made his way back to the dojo. Some things were better left unknown.
Samurai Champloo
*Fuu picked up the bowl of noodles, raising an eyebrow in Mugen's direction, silently daring him to try and beat her in this eating contest.
Shinshi Doumei +
*Maguri sent a glare in Maora's direction. "What's the smile for?" Maora didn't reply, only laughing and sending a wink in Maguri's direction.
*Maora held Haine close, a fake sniffle escaping. "I remember when you first joined our little group. My little Haine-chan is growing up so fast!"
"It hasn't even been a month yet!"
*Haine is thankful that she never had to find out what life would be like if Usio had never found her.
Bleach
*It wasn't true. Any minute she would wake up and Yoruichi-sama would appear behind her, scaring her. A tear fell as the minutes began to pass and no one arrived.
*Yoruichi gently placed a kiss on Soi Fong's cheek, delighting in the surprised look on her face. Pulling back, she quickly popped a candy into Soi Fong's open mouth and dissapeared into the trees shouting, "Tag. You're it."
*Soi Fong held up the tiny vice captain of the 11th Division and rose a brow in Kenpachi's direction. "You seem to have misplaced something."
*Orihime glanced outside with a determined look etched upon her features. "Ishida-kun, I don't see any sakura. How can we have a magic moment without sakura?"
*Pausing in her walk past the gates of the 11th Division, Nemu watched as the Vice Captain flipped through the air to land on Ikkaku's shoulder, promptly gnawing on his head. Nemu tried to contain her laughter, but it spilled out, the sound shocking both herself and the two members of the 11th Division.
*Ichigo leaned towards Tatsuki, silently pointing in Orihime's direction while raising one brow. Tatsuki only sighed and nodded. The two friends both shivered as Orihime bounced towards them, hands full with her latest cooking experiment.
*Ichigo rolled his eyes but let Rukia share the bed. She gave him a dazzling smile and before he knew what hit him he was laying on the floor while she tucked the blanket around herself.

*Gin never understood why Yachiru constantly pestered him to laugh like a clown.

*Ayame fingered the lace with a delicate touch, his eyes meeting Mine's; together they let loose a loud squeal, dropping the lace and jumping up and down in excitement.
*Momiji couldn't help but stare in wonder as Momo began to shyly hum along with him; his sister was more adorable than he had ever thought!
*After Yuki's fan club had left the house, Megumi had turned to her, swearing that fangirls were the scariest creatures he had ever met.
*Hatori raises a brow in disbelief as Shigure shouts, "Ha-san, Aya and I are as pure as the fallen snow!"
*Kakeru only laughs when Yuki's patience runs out and he threatens to send him flying out the window
*Each day Yuki enters the student council room and wonders why he ever agreed to this in the first place.
*When Yuki is around, Machi finds herself believing that life isn't so bad.
*Kimi shared a look with Kakeru, eyes lighting up as they both advanced on Yuki ignoring his exasperated shout of, "No!"
*Kyou quietly snuck up behind Tohru as she hurried through the kitchen; the startled gasp that escaped her mouth quickly turning into a bright smile as she spotted him.
Full Metal Alchemist
*Al carefully picked up the small kitten, his heart warming as it began to purr. Gently stroking it's fur, he smiled as the tiny creature began to knead his arm. Kittens made everything right within the world.
*Each day was the same. Riza would dutifully shadow Colonel Mustang, watching over him in her own quiet way, the knowledge that he was safe from harm causing a smile to appear on her face.
*Roy curbed the urge to run as Hughes tracked him down and flug an arm over his shoulder while whipping out pictures of his daughter. The pictures and stories weren't so bad after a while. Though he hated to admit it, he had almost began to look forward to them.
*Ed opened the door, ready to yell for Winry to hurry up if she wanted to come along. The words froze in his throat as he took in the scene before him. Silently closing the doors, Ed stumbled through the house and out the front door, nearly knocking over Al in his haste to escape. Once he was a safe distance away, he shuddered and tried to forget the sight of her lovingly crooning to her wrench as she polished it.
*Izumi quickly looked behind her shoulder, confused. A loud, panting noise kept following her wherever she walked but there was nothing to see.
*Ed had never been prouder of his brother than the moment Al had achieved alchemy.
*Havoc mourned the fact that all the good ones were taken as Winry dragged Ed from the building.
*Winry stared Roy down until he relented, smirking as he began moving over to make room on the couch.
*Carefully setting the brush on the dresser, Winry eyed the ribbon for a moment before tying it around Den's neck.
*Even on their off day, everyone was prepared for the worst with weapons hidden under their clothes and eyes ready to scan the crowds.
Full Metal Panic
*Sousuke pulled the trigger of his weapon, effectively destroying the obvious spying device. At his side, Kaname struggled to control her breathing and he prided himself on quick action. A sudden thwap to the head made him turn and face the now irrate girl.
"Sousuke! It was just a photo booth!"
*Kurtz smiled as Kyouko laughed, Ren blushed prettily, and Kaname pretended to ignore him. He had almost forgotten how fun flirting with high school girls could be.
*Sousuke looked from Kurtz to Mao and back again, a fine sheen of sweat starting to develop along his brow. Kurtz only laughed and pushed him forward, his hand brushing along the female's back end. An enraged shriek filled the air as Melissa chased Sousuke through the small aparment while Kurtz shouted after them, "Welcome to the club!"
*Sousuke quickly learned that Kaname handled a car like she handled everything else-hard and quick.
Inuyasha
*Kagome held the completed jewel in her hands and closed her eyes, making a wish. With a bittersweet smile she watched as Kikyou smiled, embracing Inuyasha. It was for the best.
*Mama only nodded, Souta shrugged his shoulders, and Jii-chan thoughtfully rubbed his chin; there were worse choices for college.
*Inuyasha pouted, glaring at Kagome. "What's not to trust?" Hand fingering the hilt of Tessaiga, he eyed it thoughtfully while glancing at the beads.
*Inuyasha held Kagome close. "She's not you."
*Shippou eyed the young youkai children sitting before him with a superior look. Holding out a lollipop, he began, "Your first lesson, remember it well."
*Passing a field of lilies, Kohaku wondered why he felt they should somehow be important. Hours later tears streamed down his eyes as he tried to forget the memory that resurfaced.
*Kagome stood, mouth agape, pointing at Inyasha and Shippou. Sango patted her shoulder in comfort. "It was bound to happen at some point."
*"My sword is cooler." Inuyasha barely had time to think of a reply before his brother dissapeared. Blinking, he wondered if the whole thing had been his imagination. One thing was certain, no more late nights with Miroku and sake.
*Rubbing the bump on his head, the youkai lord tried to figure out just why he had been tossed from the house. A few hundred years absence was nothing compared to their lifespan. It wasn't like he had completely forgotten them.
*Inuyasha swore as Sango and Miroku outright burst into laughter after he had appeared. He tried to threaten them but that only made them laugh harder. If it wasn't for those damn fins he would shut them up before they could even blink
*"He's such a pervert. And a lecher."
Jaken sighed. "He's such a stick in the mud."
"At least you're not constantly groped!"
"At least you get to first base!"
*Kikyou refused the soul, despite the protests of the Shinadamachuu. It nudged her lightly, eyes pleading but she only smiled. Her time had ended long ago, but now she could rest.
*Miroku lightly stroked the smooth skin of Sango's hand, enjoying the shy smile that appeared on her face. Her happiness radiated from the small smile and he prided himself on being the only person to ever see her this way.
*Midoriko studied the small fire cat before her with an appraising eye. The creature transformed into it's larger form and she smiled, noting the intelligent look in her eyes. She would make a fine companion.
*Being one with the wind gave her such glorious freedom. And quite the alibi when it came to playing pranks on those she knew.
*Sesshoumaru rose an eyebrow in distaste as the small youkai approached, loudly informing him that she was here to see Rin. Motioning to Rin, he told Jaken to keep an eye on the two before making a quick escape.
*Shiori enjoys the rare moments her mother speaks about her father; she just wishes it wouldn't make her mother so sad afterwards.
*Before she jumps through the well, Kagome grabs her brother and holds him clos, telling him to watch over everyone while she's gone.
*She had been so mad as Hiten smirked, ruffling her hair and saying they would be back soon; she wonders if she would have reacted differently if she had known it was goodbye.
*Weilding Tensaiga after learning about the Meidou Zangetsuha, Sesshoumaru realizes that his father may have had plans for him all along.
*Kikyou often wondered how something so small could cause so much trouble as she stared at the glittering Shikon no Tama.
*Jaken had sworn up and down that surprising Sesshoumaru on his birthday was not a good idea but Rin was bound and determined to make it the best day ever.
*Inuyasha nearly died as he opened the door to find Kagome's mother in nother but her lingerie; squeaking out an excuse, he hurried down the hall, the sound of laughter trailing after him.
*Tsubaki lightly ran her hands through Kikyou's hair, absent-mindedly plaiting a few strands together as she contemplated Kikyou's reaction to what she had in mind.
*Inuyasha grabbed Sango's shoulder, turning her so they were face to face, "Just jump the damned pervert already."
*Kikyou allowed herself a rare moment of glee as she tied the new ribbon in her hair, shyly glancing in the mirror to see the results.
*Shippou pointed out the rainbow causing Kagome to smile brightly while Inuyasha muttered under his breath and Miroku took advantage of Sango's distraction.
*Jaken rubbed his temples wearily as Rin finally settled down after a nightmare; for once he found himself suspicious of Sesshoumaru-sama's timely absence.
*Sesshoumaru watched as Rin snuck up on Jaken and poked him quite hard in the side making the toad demon jump into the air and shriek like a woman; it was all he could do not to crack a smile.
*As she watched Kohaku slice through the demons, a part of Sango's mind was proud of the fact that he had learned how to use the move she had taught him to his advantage.
*Ayame knew tht Kouga would chase after Naraku until he was defeated; she also knew that she would wait forever for Kouga to return to her
*Ginta clutched at his sides while Hakkaku struggled to breathe; together they ran after Kouga, wearily yelling at him to slow down.
*Kanna bought the mirror to Kagura, silently pointing out the whirling skirts and luxurious fabrics; Kagura only rolled her eyes and told her nothing would ever replace the kimono.
*Izayoi's nose wrinkled in laughter as he entered the doorway, escaping from the rain, "You smell like wet dog."
*Inuyasha would never again help Shippou pull of his band-aids; he was still picking dirt out of his teeth from Kagome's 'sit.'
*Myogua quickly learned that however soft Kirara's fur was, she was not the safest place to take a nap.
*Bankotsu still wasn't sure if it was easier to play poker with the guy with multiple personalites or the guy that was more interested in how pretty the cards were.
*Ayame wondered what it would be like to have such close friends like Ginta and Hakkaku; she hoped one day she would be able to find out.
*The future is uncertain, but Sango refuses to give up until she accomplishes her goals.
*Rin stares at Jaken, eyes watering as he stammers out an excuse as to why her flowers had to 'go away.'
*Kagome was prepared for a night of pampering herself but not for the familiar man sitting on the couch with his arm around her mother, talking and laughing with Souta and Jii-chan as if he had never tried to kill her and her friends in the past; it was enough to make her faint.
*The wind whipped through her hair and Miroku found himself thinking that nothing could ever compare to the beauty of Sango when she allowed herself a moment of peace.
Negima
*Konoka smiled brightly as she managed to corner Setsuna with a comb and a handful of ribbons. "Seechan! You promised I could!"
Setsuna closed her eyes, sighing in defeat. Konoka gleefully began to pull her hair free from its normal style, fingers running through the short strands. Pausing, she giggled, placing a gentle kiss on Setsuna's nose.
*The Baka Rangers were determined to hold their next picnic in Evangeline's resort after the stories Yue shared.
*Yue handed Nodoka the overdue book slip, winking as she pointed out Negi and whispered, "You know what you have to do."
*Konoka pouted as she poked her finger with the knitting needle for the umpteenth time but brightened as she thought of just how cute Secchan would look with a new scarf.
*Negi blissfully chewed the caramel roll, enjoying the sweet taste until he was ambushed from behind, Kaede's arms practically breaking his ribs
Rurouni Kenshin
*Megumi studied Kenshin as she finished checking the still-healing wounds from the fight in Kyoto. He had known there was a chance of never returning from the city and yet he had only chosen to say goodbye to one person. Kaoru. With a sigh, she nodded to let him know the examination was over and watched him as he made his way back to the dojo. Some things were better left unknown.
Samurai Champloo
*Fuu picked up the bowl of noodles, raising an eyebrow in Mugen's direction, silently daring him to try and beat her in this eating contest.
Shinshi Doumei +
*Maguri sent a glare in Maora's direction. "What's the smile for?" Maora didn't reply, only laughing and sending a wink in Maguri's direction.
*Maora held Haine close, a fake sniffle escaping. "I remember when you first joined our little group. My little Haine-chan is growing up so fast!"
"It hasn't even been a month yet!"
*Haine is thankful that she never had to find out what life would be like if Usio had never found her.
