Hereby I announce my (hopefully) temporary deactivation from writing. I won't be completely disappearing from fanfic world, I'll try to work on some one-shots, but for 'Life at 16' and several other multi-chapters stories, I don't think I can manage continuing. My schedule has become a pain in the ass, so to say, and going back home every day, there could be nothing in my mind but to take some rest from the hectic activities. Weekends... well, I think my future husband would want to have his future wife for himself, and not to share her with the world of fanfiction that used to be her habitat. In between I think I can still spare some time for short stuffs, but definitely not multi-chapters.

It most definitely sucks to pop in after a long absent and make such an announcement. I hate this too, believe me. Can't argue with myself when I thought I missed writing soooo much... I hope there's a time when I can sit and indulge the dark little spot inside my brain, from which all of my stories were born.

Never forget that I always respect and am very thankful for your appreciation in regards of my stories. It is what has kept me going when I thought I'd lost inspiration. Now, inspirations running wild, time just won't cooperate. So forgive me... and thank you.

Alright then...

See you... when I see you :)

Love always,
akichuu

Warnings: Un-beta-ed mistakes, OOC-ness.
Disclaimers: I only own my funky brain and the amusing ideas it spews on daily basis.
Summary: High school: the epicenter of a human child’s adolescence, the most extreme twist in the roller coaster ride of life; the three years of the most remembered acts of foolishness, of teenage melodramas and adventures. Ruki, a 16 year old high school boy, gives us VIP seats to witness the many quirks of his daily life and the dilemmas of his youth as he reveals them in his journal. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
Comments: The speed with which I update this story is frustrating, isn’t it? Yes, I do apologize. I needed (and still need) to go through a lot of adjustments with my new job, and have hardly had time to sit and write. Worry not, though, for here is the new chapter, and it is with great pleasure I bring you our very own Ruki and the meeting he was scheduled to attend! Take heed, people, this is going to be quite a turn of Ruki’s life towards an unexpected direction…

Comments: My muses ran away from me to spend their holiday in a far, far away land. It took me so long to track them down and drag them back home, but when we did get home, they refused to cooperate. Damn them. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and while you read it I’ll go and whip my muses. Oh right! Saga makes his appearance here! All Saga fans, forgive me… *bows*

Title: The Best Choice
Chapter: 1/1
Author: akichuu
Fandom: the GazettE
Pairing: RukiXAoi, AoiXUruha, AoiXRuki
Theme: 009: Crucify My Love – X-Japan @ 50stories
Rating: PG-15
Genre: Very heavy angst
Warning: As stated in the 'genre' section, very heavy angst. Character death, disbandment, such things. Yes. You've been warned. And as always, the regular grammatical mistakes.
Disclaimers: Slavery is a felony. The lyrics are from 'Without a Trace' by the GazettE (translations by cherry_kokoro). I own the idea, the story and the poor green-sometimes-yellow-screened computer I used to write this.
Summary: There are times when the hardest choice becomes the best choice. But to take that choice doesn’t mean no one is going to get hurt, doesn’t mean that no one is going to shed some tears. He understands that if it is a happy ending he’s been searching for, then he has to let go of the most precious thing in his life. But is that true? Is there really happiness waiting for him at the end of all this? Or is it all merely a wishful thinking?
Comments: *bawls* It’s been a while since I wrote a real angst. Wonder why it turned out like this… Worst of all, my sister caught me drenched in tears when I was writing. Damn. The idea came from the GazettE’s ‘Without a Trace’ (so you know when I said angst, I meant ANGST). Okay. As always, I’ll be waiting for your comments!

Comments: Forgive me for the long delay (computer crashed and everything… T_T). It’s been quite frustrating. But here I am, here’s the new chapter, where Ruki’s life is taking a wrong turn to a road that leads toward a deadly cliff (poor thing...). Click and read (and comment, as always :P) to find out!

Comments: Yes, I changed the summary just a little bit. My big mouth is conveniently shut for the moment (but I’ll babble at the author’s note XD) so I’ll just step aside now and let Ruki take over. He hates his life because it’s getting even more miserable than ever, but then a hero comes at the end, as you will see for yourself. Happy reading! :)

Fandom: the GazettE
Pairings: AoiXRuki

Rating: R
Genre: angst, romance
Warnings: Implied manXman sex. Unbeta-ed mistakes.
Disclaimers: I only own my funky brain and the amusing ideas it spews on daily basis.
Summary: I’d lost my mind. He had lost his mind. We both had been so lonely we were hardly sane anymore, definitely not sane enough to be in control of our actions. Yes, we had been too lonely. And that night, in each other we had found the salvation to that.
Comments: I’ve found myself suddenly in the mood of writing something bittersweet but in the same time slightly intense. The smut too, I wanted to write it to be flowing and not so explicit (like how I normally write my smut XD), I don’t know if I’d done it right though. You’ll be the judge of that. The story is partially inspired yet again by interviews and such of the band. Enjoy, and as always, I’m always waiting for comments and constructive critiques… :D

Everything is here: all the nerve-racking and stomach turning occurrences; the denial, the contemplation, the struggle, the love and the heartbreak!
Comments: Finally! Another high school fiction! Ohhh~ I really miss writing high school stuffs, ever since ‘Hanabi’ ended a while ago. I figured that it would be necessary for me to write something youthful and light, apart from every other story I’m currently working at. I do hope you enjoy this story :) By the way, thanks to my lovely chibi_bisque for the info regarding schools in Japan.

3. Start writing as soon as the song starts and stops when it comes to a halt,
4. Tag 5 people.

Author: akichuu
Fandom: the GazettE, alice nine.
Pairings: AoiXRuki, ToraXSaga
Theme: 033: New Day’s Dawn – Hyde @ 50stories
Rating: PG-13
Genre: AU, fluff
Warnings: As always, the same old un-beta-ed mistakes.
Disclaimers: I only own my funky brain and the amusing ideas it spews on daily basis.
Summary: It all begins with a single droplet of dew that is making its way down a branch of a Cherry Blossom tree. Watch where it goes; see which hearts it might touch, and listen to what story it brings us.
Comments: It’s meant to be an entry for a challenge (Spring Challenge) in FiClub, under the prompt Cherry Blossom. Honestly I couldn’t believe I came up with something like this! But I really, really love how it turned out… and it relieved my hidden desire of making GazettE boys have fluttering little wings and hop from place to place *laughs*… This is for Aoi’s and Ruki’s birthdays (Happy belated birthdays, boys… XD) and, of course, Happy Springtime to all of you!

Rating: PG-13
Genre: fluff
Warnings: Unbeta-ed mistakes, as always.
Disclaimers: I only own my funky brain and the amusing ideas it spews on daily basis.
Summary: Beyond Uruha’s expectation, the day turned out quite interesting as he sat there and became the witness of two lovers quarreling: one was trying his best to apologize while the other was trying his best to feign ignorance.
Comments: Inspired by a beverage commercial in the local TV and presented with an adorable theme song: David Cook – Always be My Baby (trust me, you’ll find the song to be VERY significant in the story XDDDD), this is a story in which Aoi and Ruki FINALLY got into a fight XD
Written in Uruha’s view and Uruha-muse always makes interesting stories. And and and! Koron makes his *cute* first appearance!
Thus, I’m back with the fluff so everyone please, sit down and enjoy :)

Title: Unfold
Chapter: 02/XX
Author: akichuu
Fandom: Alice nine.
Pairings: ToraXSaga
Rating: PG-13
Genre: AU, drama, angst
Warnings: Unbeta-ed mistakes.
Disclaimers: I only own my funky brain and the amusing ideas it spews on daily basis.
Summary: In the pictures that he took, he had captured the wonders and beauty of almost the entire world; he had made eternal the smiles and laughter on other people’s faces. Behind the lens, though, he had forgotten what the rainbow looked like, what colors it beamed with. That was until he came across a flower shop.
Abstract: “Just call me Tora.” And the lopsided smile grew just a tiny bit wider, while the dark haired photographer stared at Saga.
Comments: Maa… I should be chased and shot down for being so retarded. I don’t suppose being a bit unhealthy could be a reason enough, couldn’t it? Anyhow I almost lost interest in this story but then my wife encouraged me and I’ve found a new method of writing, so it’s all well now. I can’t promise quick updates (what’s with me starting a new job in February and all), but you can have faith that it’ll continue :)

Title: Unfold
Chapter: 01/XX
Author: akichuu
Fandom: Alice nine.
Pairings: ToraXSaga
Rating: PG-13
Genre: AU, drama, angst
Warnings: Unbeta-ed mistakes.
Disclaimers: In the matter of taking over PSC, I have, by far, searched for awesome back up (fellow manic fangirls and such…). Now, I’m still thinking about how to smuggle ourselves into a plane heading to Tokyo.
Summary: In the pictures that he took, he had captured the wonders and beauty of almost the entire world; he had made eternal the smiles and laughter on other people’s faces. Behind the lens, though, he had forgotten what the rainbow looked like, what colors it beamed with. That was until he came across a flower shop.
Abstract: “Nao,” Saga spoke up, finally, “There’s someone out there.”
Comments: How come it took me a while to update this, it’s because beyond my recognition, the story has transformed into one of the most poetic stuffs I’ve ever written. And it’s hard being poetic, you see… But I like the tilt of my style towards this angle, and the story itself might just become one of my favorites (and I hope my baby’s too 8D).

Chapter: 1/3
Author: akichuu
Fandom: the GazettE
Pairings: AoiXRuki
Theme: 003: Beauty and Stupid - Hide @ 50stories
Rating: R (will be NC-17 in later chapter)
Genre: AU, drama
Warnings: (failed) Attempt at humor, and as always, un-beta-ed mistakes.
Disclaimers: I insist that I own my big teddy bear named Reita, but I think Aoi-muse has stolen it and taken it to his hiding. EVIL MUSE!!! (Anyhow, no, I don’t own any of the boys—that would be felony, you see—but I own the idea of the story.)
Summary: In his line of job, Ruki had always believed that when a couple made an oath in the face of God to stay together, they were supposed stay together. After all, wasn’t that what ‘Until death do us part’ was all about? But then an overly glamorous drama queen came dragging her stunningly handsome husband into Ruki’s office; what would happen to Ruki’s belief then?
Comments: What kind of a title is that…?? It’s because I got desperate (and I’ve never been good at finding titles… ever!) so there you go. What you might find amusing about this story is that I got the idea while I was watching some infotainment on TV—you know, where you could see tons of celebrities getting divorced? I’ve probably given you hints of what the story is about, but for more *exciting* details, read more…?

Fun meme-drabbles. The rules are:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them.

This time I picked:
Pairing: ReitaXAoi
Rating: generally, PG-15
Genre: fluff, angst, a little drama here and there.
Disclaimer: The last time I checked Reita-muse and Aoi-muse were playing hide and seek in the house (oh god, they’re wrecking havoc!!). Other than those two and the rest of my GazettE-muses (emphasized on the word ‘muse’), I only have my brain and the weird thoughts it can come up with.
Comments: Of course I cheated!!! Yeah, I skipped some songs and paused in the middle of some others… And after it was all done I added some more bits here and there. XDDDDD
You see, I honestly think the pairing needs more love, so here it goes :D
Oh yeah, the author off all these drabbles is me, akichuu

Behind the lens, though, he had forgotten what the rainbow looked like, what colors it beamed with. That was until he came across a flower shop.
Comments: *gasp* OMG I'M WRITING ABOUT ALICE NINE.??!! As requested by my Baby, chibi_bisque, based on the song Kousai by Alice nine. She gave me the basic characteristics and asked for a heart warming fluff, but you know I can't go by without a little bit of angst, and in the end it became quite dramatic. Since this is my first time coming out of the box (named "the-GazettE-fandom" XD), please be gentle? And I begin with such a short prologue, but I hope you guys enjoy it :)
