Well.

[askerian]

... Well.

My most sincerest apologies to Kishi for calling him a wuss last week. u.u Should have remembered good guys just physically couldn't kick the bucket before they made their farewell speech. XD

Gotta admit, though, he'd outlived his other purposes in the story; the kids had outgrown him and apart from that and teaching Naruto a ZOMG speshul cheat code skill, his character really didn't have much to do except vegetate in the background. dying kind of makes him more likeable to me. went from bah to aww! Congrats, Asuma. Also makes for a more interesting story; no one ever dying gets kind of boring after a while. XD

Now, theninjakitty had a suggestion and I encourage it strongly. You know what people ought to do now?

WRITE TEAM TEN COMFORT SEX.

Yeah.

too bad i'm so lazy.

I approve of Team 10 comfort sex! Too bad I'm not a writer. I liked Asuma. Guess the only Sarutobi with a name now is Konohamaru.

[miwa.livejournal.com]

That might not even be his name. What if Konohamaru's mother was Sarutobi's daughter? :X

[scorpionocean.livejournal.com]

he'd still be part of the Sarutobi clan wouldn't he? As long as SOMEONE brings back Enma!

[beachlass.livejournal.com]

NOES!!! I knew I should have been working on my fic-in-progress rather than clicking... damn. damn. damn. But I liked Asuma.

[monique-27.livejournal.com]

Ack! NO! *cries* Why!?!?! Dammit, why did it have to be Asuma?! I love Asuma! I think he's interesting! And strong! And sexing Kurenai! NO!!!!

*sniffles*

I _so_ wanted Kishi to be a wuss.

I don't deal with character death well...it makes me sad. I'm too sensitive [by the way, while I was typing this, I wrote "sexitive" there. Asuka, you're in my head!]. I know he'd fulfilled his purposes, but he's still nice to have around. I'm not going to say I'm glad he died, but his death does have purpose, whether I like it or not. And that's a not, but oh well. *le sigh*

Shikamaru's smoking...I wonder if he'll pick up the habit now, for good. And Ino and Chouji...poor Team 10. This really sucks. *cuddles, unable to stop herself from thinking of comfort-sex-drabbles*

Vale!

*petpets*

... yeah, kinda sucks for Kurenai, doesn't it. D:

(ahaha sexitive is a nice word.)

*hugglepetloves*

I tried for sex, and I failed.

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

It wasn't planned. Or expected, at that. But the result of sitting together and talking.

Ino managed to get something that was far too fruity and sweet, at least Shikamaru thought so. He drank it anyway, ignoring the taste of the alchohal in it. Chouji drank as well, and the three of them sat quietly for a bit. Then, Chouji was the first to speak. And his words set the tone for the evening.

"Remember when...?"

Then the memories started to be shared. Things they had done as a team together, things that they had learned from their teacher. Times when they had just talked to him, when he had randomly shown up to give them a tip or just to check on them.

The more they drank, the wilder and more embarrassing the stories got. Stories were told, challenged, counter challenged, and laughed at. Then cried over, though none of them shed a tear. That was the life of the ninja.

That did not stop them from comforting each other.

Nothing really happened, but it made them feel better to curl up against each other and talk, remembering things now, even though they knew that they would have to put the feelings aside soon and return to dealing with others sorrow and each other's annoying habits soon enough.

But now was for them, for Team Ten and the memories of the one they had lost.


*so fails at sex. cries*

Re: I tried for sex, and I failed.

[askerian]

Hee. Nice anyway, thanks ^__^

[lyarrah.livejournal.com]

Will you settle for InoChou and TemaShika comfort sex over this?

Because that I can probably write...

So sad... Though... I think it was inevitable from the moment we found out he was the third's son... Let's just hope Kishimoto doesn't make Konohamaru do the same thing later on...

Asuma said something that I've believed for a while... that Shika might wind up the Hokage...

...Part of me thinks the smoking thing is terribly appropriate, but just the same I hope he doesn't make it a habit...

[askerian]

eeee! sure will. XD

yeah, he'd been hit by the FORESHADOWING STICK OF DOOM, I just kept thinking Kishi had played the game with Gaara already and he'd find some way to save him, especially since there was still hope last chapter.

I think he might light up one every time he reminisces, but he probably won't start chain-smoking since he doesn't like the scent and he doesn't seem as already broken as, say, Kakashi was. he probably wouldn't beat himself up so obsessively that he'd take a reminder with him forever like Kakashi did with the compulsive lateness and total reshaping of life philosophy. Shika and Asuma had a close relationship, but Shika does still have his teammates and family. *ponders*

[lyarrah.livejournal.com]

You should be warned that NOTHING I write is short.

So this is only the begining. No smut yet, but it'll get there.

[lyarrah.livejournal.com]

Second chapter is now up, this one InoChou, but again... comfort sex will be later <.<

D: I just can't seem to write anything that's not full-blown-long-story. ._. Drabbles and I don't work together.

[lyarrah.livejournal.com]

Got the next chapter done~

No smex still, but we're getting there, and this one could be interpreted as Team 10 love instead of the couples it's meant to be >.>

I'll only believe it when I see the autopsy report, personally. The 'dead look' on his face reminds me too much of Gaara. Mind you, Gaara WAS technically dead and only brought back through the Deus Ex Machina machine, and Asuma isn't popular enough for any old noble Shinobi to pop his or her clogs to give him all their lifeforce...

...I haven't even read the last three chapters. I'm kind of bored with the direction it's going. I'm hoping Kakashi Gaiden and timeskip in the anime version will rekindle my faith, but I doubt it. Blah. How do you manage to keep the interest up apart from ghoulishly dissecting poor Asuma for the purposes of seeing his team have comfort smex ;) ?

[askerian]

Bah, seeing as he got to have his long and specialized "I die now, be happy my lovely students speech" and a bazilion previously-unknown flashbacks, I think he really did kick it this time. u.u

The last ten chapters weren't worth reading, really. =__= Well, not separately. If you wait until they build up and read'em all at once, there are a few "hee" bits...

... It's the same reason as how I keep downloading the anime religiously every week, at most two hours after it's out. I'm a maniac.

But mostly, I'm just waiting for Sasuke. u.u

you're not going to leave the fandom too, huh? two of the writers I love bestest are already almost/entirely out of the fandom and omg no don't leave too plzplzplz wahhhh. especially not for a fandom I couldn't get into at all and where I couldn't follow !!! ;__; *sobinates*

[maldoror-gw.livejournal.com]

...Actually, it'd be majorly funny if a character like that has his oh-so-wangsty final speech + flashback + lament + maybe even last minute confessions -...Kurenai...I've always loved you-....

And then survives ^__^

His students would never let him hear the end of it.

Yeah, I'm pretty disenchanted with the series right now, and I think it's impacting my writing. I'm still scribbling a bit of Naruto stuff, but it's a ratio of 1 to 10, like. 'One Piece' is shiny and new by comparison. THe thing is, even though I love OP, I don't see myself writing very much in it. It doesn't feel like it has as many stories for me as Naruto does. So after I get OP out of my system...I don't know, I might be back to Naruto full time, and I have things to finish (then again, I have Source to finish in GW...)

[go-hifreann-lea.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE KITTY WOULD SUGGEST THAT. XD

Asuuuuuuma~ ;___;

Actually, that prelim referee got axed by Baki way back in the chuunin exams.

Too bad no one really cared.

[ayrrie.livejournal.com]

I really liked the last couple of pages of that--I don't know, the smoking thing just kinda clinched it for me.

I almost cried. ;_; Now I really like Asuma.

err

[(Anonymous)]

Should have held onto the birthday bit till here, ne?

[da-fox22.livejournal.com]

Poor poor Asuma. Didn't really care about him one way or the other, but he did go out as a warrior... for a career ninja, that's probably the best death.

But one thing bugged me - Ino's a medic-nin now? Since when? I don't recall her ever having an interest in the medical field. Hinata, yes - Ino, no.

Kishi is getting really sloppy with his storytelling lately. First Kakashi's got the Mangekyou, then he knows Rasengan, now Ino is a medic-nin... oi.
