Bah! You guys are lucky that I'm so impatient. Ffft... I do hope Friday counts enough as "end of the week." School week, maybe?
Anyway! Chapter o7 is finished and shall be uploaded momentarily.

(YELLOW indicates a QUOTE)
(BLUE indicates a Driving Review of the Week)
For this week the Driving Review of the Week award goes to: EVERYONE WHO CRIED! Thank you for caring so much. ;w;
"*blubblers* You...he...fire... TT_TT
WHYYY??
I have nothing more to say. My heart has been mushed.
But, I still send love to you and your muse. In other words: I'm really teary eyed and can't write a normal review right now" - Aaiya
Aaiya - Aww... ;w; *pats*
I think you for your continued love. I hope you find this next chapter a little less mushing?
"that was quite the emotional chapter T^T poor poor ashura...that beast better be alive >.> or else! ke ke ke ke...
anyways another great chapter =] i always look forward to your updates so keep up the good work!" - ellie
ellie - Ke ke ke ke! >w>
Thank you, and I look forward to you reading my updates! x'3
";A;
... I need more tissues....
;n;" - Plague_rose
Plague_rose - Aw... *gives tissues* ;w;
"Cool story Bro.
Sorry to say I didn't get upset because
1. I know you
2. I was being distracted and amused
3. Sarian puking was just too funny for some reason.
Anyway. Can't wait for next week." - Fetish
Fetish - Ffft.
Ah well, I tried at least, ne? -w-
"I have to confess that I chickened out when Sarian started spying on Ashura with the vined beast. It was so painful to think that he would see their intimate moments together. I am building up my courage to read the rest. I hope the beast eats Sarian.
I'm depressed and I want revenge. I hope Sarian will meet a horrible end by the end of this story. I hope that at some point the villagers will realize what a horrible thing they have done. it is too bad that Ashura doesn't have any magic skills as yet." - kylee
kylee - Awww!
Wow, I can't believe I made it intesnse enough that you actually had to stop reading for a moment! Aww. ;w;
And, well, I want to kill Sarain, too, so you aren't the only one. -A-
"lol. im agonizing. really.
that was awful. trully horrible. i dont understand the animosity towards ashura, all that hate just cause hes a bastard son? wtf?
at least let there be a root and stem so itll grow.... please.... and then he runs away with it taking care of it and nursing it back to health and he finds his elf friend and he discovers its elf cursed into a plant and he learns magic and breaks the curse and he and his plant man live happily ever after. fa la la la la la la.
the end.
oh wait. and they have lil baby plants together.
well. update quickly cause my version totally sux." - spoonring
spoonring - *dies*
That was a beautiful little story. ;w;
Too bad it doesn't actually happen like that. *pats* Well, not completely, anyway.
XD
"OMG!!! Tou totally almost made me cry!! I had moist eyes, I just kept wishing that he would say I love you and have his vined beast turn back into a demon that can control/make vines/shadows just like beauty and the best. OMG please don't leave us hanging, I love this too much and am too anxious to wait for what happens next." - my_perversities
my_perversities - ;w;
Aww...
Well, y'know what's funny? In my notes, I think I referenced the Beauty and the Beast with this part in my story. Y'know... with the villagers coming to destroy the "beast." XD
ANYWAY! Updated granted! 8'D
"I have to admit, I was pretty close to crying! But the anger kinda took over that, 'cause of SARIAN! !!! D:
That bastard! I just knew that he was going to be trouble ever since he was introduced into this story! ): Ashura, nooo! How could they kill our lovable plant! And what's more, how come Sarian convinced everyone so quickly? I mean, if someone came up to me and said, "Ashura's fucking a giant vined beast!" I'd... well personally, I'd punch Sarian across the face for Ashura's sake ;)... but if I was the village chief, I'd be pretty skeptical!
No offense intended, of course, because this is a really good twist in teh story!
It's not like you can just keep writing steamy sex scenes every chapter (though I wouldn't mind... not at all... not at all... *_*) so as destroyed as I am about our lovable tree dying, or hopefully, 'dying' ;) ;), I'm really anticipating the next chapter!
But please oh please oh please don't make our giant vined tree disappear forever!" - Tranquil
Tranquil - That CACTUS bastard! D<
Ffft, I guess it's a good thing he won't be in the story for much.. well... I guess I should stop that thought right there. Just in case that is considered a spoiler by someone. ;w;
Ffft, if someone came up to me and told me that, I'd be like, "WHAT?! WHERE?! owo *wants to see*"
XD
And, well, here's the next chapter to answer your plea! owo
"*rubs eyes* What are you talking about?! I'm not crying. I didn't shead any tears.
On a side note, making us wait is a terrible, terrible thing and will cause all of us readers greif, but we still love you. Besides, the beast can't be dead. I mean, it's a friggen magical tentacle plant...thingy. It's gotta have some way to regenerate...right?
Also, I'm glad that Ashura managed to land a few blows on Sarian, at least. That bastard had it coming. Hopefully Sarian will get beaten up even more. I'm equally as anxious for the next chapter
PS. I totally changed my name because of the joke you kept making :p" - Yo!Fen
Yo!Fen - Hahah! Yo, 'Fen!
Well, first off, I do hope my little joke isn't terribly annoying. ;w;
Second off, I'm not making you wait all that long! I'm just as impatient as you guys are! xD As excited as you are for the next chapter, I am for reviews and rates. ;w;
Anyway--your answer shall be answered within this chapter! >D
May it please.
"OMG, they are so fucking evil!!! my heart is breaking for him" - kyuubifreak
kyuubifreak - Yeah, I know. ;A; Mine was, too.
"Yep, you did it . . . I was in tears by the last few sentences. Poor tentacle plant. Poor, poor, poor Ashura.
The way you described the destruction and Ashura's despair was very moving. Very easy to picture Ashura as he desperately searched for signs of life in his beloved, destroyed vined beast. I hate those terrible villagers for trampling Ashura's only source of joy.
Jeez, couldn't you have given us even the slightest sign of life there at the end?!? How are we supposed to hold on until your next chapter?" - circe
circe - ;w; *pats*
I'm glad I achieved my goal, though I do feel a little bad for making you (and so many others) cry. XDD
Anyway--I purposely wanted to leave things off on a cliffhanger.
*hopes you don't read this until after the chapter...*
Well, do you remember a certain comment you made about Ashura disguising his plant as a house plant and running away with it? ;w; Well, not exactly a disguise... but... close enough, ne? XD
I remember laughing so hard when you mentioned that the first time ('cause you were so dead-on about that part of it).
".........*inhales*...............*exhales*............
........................................................
*and you just heard odd breathing*
........................................................
ooh god....
JO...TA....KKKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANNA KILL YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
*growls, grunts, roars, and other animalistic noises*
OH... my.... GOOOOODDD!!!! *hands reach out to grab your neck* I can BARELY stop my self now!!!!! *hands tremble.... they really wanna strangle yoooouuuuuu* ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAARGH!!!! *goes of to bash and slam at some unsuspecting pillow* IM JUST SO FRUSTRATED!!! AND ANGRY!!! and and... BUT MORE sad-ANGRY! AND FRUSTRATEDDD!!!!
and no *bleaaaah* :P
I managed to NOT cry... *huffs* ... thou really, at one point, where I was reading Ashura all so happy happy, then suddenly, the sinking feeling sinks in, then, the all out run with worry coursing through your veins, then BOOM. at those moments... I was seriously developing this very odd headache at the back of my eyes... so.... i guess I teared a bit...
I'm not particularly emotional today. sooo.... *shrugs* ... :(
then after that.
I got too angry. and distracted. and angry. and frustrated. and AAARRRGHHHHH!!!!
and honestly, mainly angry at YOU. so my anger, at everything and anything, overcame sadness... but well... i tend to do that... I don't like crying... so I prefer getting myself angry so that I won't feel sad... *holds onto brain* aaaaaaaarrrghhh complexities....
you know... you know... You have no idea how much more of a BIGGER impact this chapter would have given if i DID NOT KNOW that the plant was gonna get burned. DESHO???? right right? ne ne?
When you already know, (or at least me), you start to expect it, start to wonder when it will happen, start to guess and stuff. and that kills the joy of when it actually does happen. *pouts* nyuuuuuuuuuuuu~~~~ =x=
JOTAKYUUUUU~! (should save the 'kyu' for a chap o9. for now, JotakuROKU!!! (y'know like Jotaku Rocks)...
but... Jotakuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! Argh damn man... I'm just a bit sore, and bummed about that spoiler. still *pouting*... *sighs*
then you go make poor poor Ashura dig and dig and cry and cry, and.... aaaaarrrkkkk... *chokes* Ashuuuraaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! *sniffs* my heart goes out to you!! *bites lip* DONT GIVE UP YEEETTT!!!! you haven't even found that seed-wriggle-of-hope-THING!!!!! YOU CANNOT FAINT NOW!!! oh goooooddd *head wall repeatedly*
but anyway. there is a more pressing thing at the moment!!
you mentioned. that part before Ashura fainted. you said he felt some sorta pain, like extra pain. then, when he was crawling to his beloved, more of that pain, and when ever he touched any of the vines.. moer of that pain....
*frowns* hmmmmmmmmmmmmm~~~ interesting... seems like Ash here and said-plant have a deeper connection than I thought previously.... soulmates much? destined? fated? that sorta thing? it fits with the whole "Fantasy" thing going on eh~ *wriggles eyebrows at you*
hohooo. be wary jotaku... I'm starting to try to figure out what you have in store for TRUTH story~~~ I love doing this~
WHEN IS THE EMO-ness GONNA END!!! I WANT THE EXCITEMENT! (thou emo-ness is good. you make the reader's heart bleed out for the character. the readers cry and laugh and smile and grin and get angry and CRY SOME MORE for the character... so ... a little piece of advice that I think you don't need....
you better NOT kill Ash of so easily. else. there'll be many coming after you with flamming torches and axes) *wink wink* hehehe~
ack. is this review getting too long. i was going rant-happy. but GRAAAAHH!!!
I think I've said all that is truly needed.
anyway... last last! last bit before i go!
Ashura. he's gonna get up... HE BETTER GET UP!!! (coz 1stly i have no idea how come he was left there in the 1st place, how come the cheif didnt pick him up n lock him up or smthing) but anyway, he better quickly get up find that seed-thingy before someone finds HIM. and GET THE HELL OUT OF THAT VILLAGE!
you have your food, you have your water (in your pack that is). I don't think you should risk going back home to get anything (but well, maybe a coat/blanket? mum's photo?), then Ash-baby... YOU MUST GET THE HELL OUT OF THAT VILLAGE!!!
((besides, i don't think lying in plant-ash is good for the respiratory system o_O))
and then will be when TRUTH will begin ^_____^ the end!
are your ear's red yet Jotaku?
also. Please do not give any spoilers in TRUTH. so then, if a sad scene comes again. I will get to cry properly instead of get angry :X (sorry XD ) I stilll love your stories!!! *hugs-tackle-glomps*
Jaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! *is very pumped up now* whyyy o_O""" " - Nekoii-desu
Nekoii - O_O
*FUCKING HIDES*
D-Don't kill me! If you kill me, you won't find out what happens! ;A;
And the rest of the readers will probably come after you! *hides*
A-anyway, like I've said before, the summary I have is for both Love and Truth. So you see, you do get one thing given away, but you have no idea what's gonna happen in Truth.
And, well, as far as guessing what's gonna happen in Truth goes, you're more than welcome to try, but do remember that there are supposed to be around 38 chapters in Love first. XD So good luck with that.
And, uh, just so you know, you ARE noticing things, you're just not noticing the right things yet. ;w;
And, seriously, you can't expect me to kill Ashura off just like that, can you?
Wtf would I do with the rest of the story then? XD
Ffft! Seriously, just read and find out, man. ;w;
Oh, and look at some kittens. I think you need to come down. XD
(Don't worry about the page stretching, by the way. It's fine. XD )
"I know there is a reason for Sarian's madness
relating to the protaginst
but his actions (and I think you protray much too *astard like
there needs to be terrible retribution on him and possibly the village eventually for destroying the vine beast" - InvidiaRed
InvidiaRed - Hey, thanks for reviewing, first of all.
And, ah, well... Eheheheheh. xD;;
Still working on that. ;w;'
"Yes, you made me cry. :'( How could you kill the vined beast? ... I assume that Ashura now will have to leave the village (?) and maybe he will learn some magic and find a new love? (and why can't I write more than one and a half line in this review box? I actually wrote more in the last review, but it just disappeared... : )" - Darkest Red
Darkest Red - HAR HAR HAR!
Some of that is right, though some of that is wrong (as you shall see). Don't stress too much, okay? XD
*pats*
And, well... how strange. oAo
"I cried like a fucking baby! There, you happy now??????? lol, But seriously, I did cry. I felt so bad for Ashura; the plant was his only friend; he could talk to it, tell it anything and the plant made him feel loved. And now it's gone. Ashura has no one. He feels abandoned; his plant is gone, his mother's gone, he never knew his father, the Elf is gone. Jesus, I'm depressing myself all over again.
I was thinking that when Ashura was sifting thru all the ash and debris from the plant, when he was looking for any sign of life from it, I was thinking that maybe the plant would be able to "re-create" itself, to start anew, something like that. Boy, this must be the longest run-on-sentence ever!!!! But you get my point. Maybe if Ashura waters it and gets is some plant food, maybe, just maybe it will be born again, like a phoenix. Don't they rise from their own ashes? OMG, but wouldn't that be great????? But instead of the plant growing in the forest, Ashura would take it to his house. I was thinking of that when I was reading the chapter. It's too bad Ashura never uprooted the plant and re-planted it in his house. Then he would have had total privacy w/the vined beast. Not a beast at all actually.
Well, now that I went through most of my Kleenex, I'll just blow my nose and wait for the next chapter! Great job btw on the emotions!" - Lisa
Lisa - Haha! Yes! My plan in life: make everyone cry! >D
(Though I do feel a little bad that you depressing yourself over again actually makes me laugh... does that make me a bad person? D: )
ANYWAY!
Well, uh... I can't tell you too much, obviously, but there is SOMETHING going on with the vined beast. -w-
You'll just have to wait and see to learn what it is, though. ;w;
Ffft, I am sorry about your box of Kleenex. XD I didn't mean to make you use the whole thing!
Anyways, don't worry about the duplicates (I actually found it a little amusing) ;w;
Thanks for reviewing, like always, ne~ ;'D
********************************
Chapter o7 Post-Chapter Author Notes:
WOOSH! So, this chapter started off really fast and easy to write, and then kinda... got tougher towards the end. -A-
I think I had a whole bunch I wanted to say about it... but I accidently deleted my notes on things to remember to put here. ;w;''
Oops.
Well, I do wanna say that I was moved by how many people wanted revenge on Sarian. I never really excpected the rage to be so heavy against him. XDD
There was no real way for revenge to work its way into my plot, but I may come up with something that will... at least satisfy you raging mob a little... I hope. Won't be for a long time, though. D:
Oh, and I'm beginning to think my Driving Review of the Week thing should be the Driving Review of the Chapter instead. Only Week sounds better... Eh! Whatever. XD
Anyway, chapter o8 is already done. Expect it soon. -w-
