SasuSaku Week: personal project on deviantart http://sasusaku-week.deviantart.com/ Think of it as Zutara Week only for SasuSaku lovers.

Tumblr: http://ringo-ichigo.tumblr.com/

Ask me a question here: http://www.formspring.me/RingoIchigo

I am an anime lover. I've seen at least one episode of the following anime: Mermaid Melody, Card Captor Sakura, Angelic Layer, Tokyo Mew Mew, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, Pretty Cure Splash Star, and that's all I can remember...for now. I have also read at least one volume of the following mangas: Pretear, Sugar Sugar Rune, Tokyo Mew Mew, Card Captor Sakura, Angelic Layer, Chibi Vampire, Mermaid Melody, Zodiac P.I., Mink, More Starlight for Your Heart, Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne, and Wedding Peach. I've probably read more but I don't remember them. Yeah, I also want to be a manga artist.

Age: you nosy people! it's none of your beeswax

Hobbies: singing, writing, drawing, reading

Writes: Avatar the Last Airbender, Tokyo Mew Mew, demons, vampires, witches, whatever crosses my mind.

Ships: Zutara, Taang, SasuSaku, SakuNaru, HinaNaru, ItaSaku (this is more recent... oddly, I only began to like Itachi after he's dead. O.o), and... yeah. others.

Current projects: What I Did Behind Your Back, Heaven Hell or None of the Above (SasuSaku/ItaSaku) (now I'm stuck on this one too...)

Projects in the concept stage: For the priority SasuSaku projects check out the poll at the top of my page! SasuSaku fairy tale retelling, Zutara Anastasia, Zutara Mulan, Zutara Princess and the Pea, and a couple other Zutara pieces (including one based on a picture I drew.).

Fanart: http://halloweenprincess.deviantart.com/art/Hypothermia-131428570 (for "Firefrost")

NOTE: Even though Zutara did not happen in Avatar, I will not stop shipping it! It was my ship from the first time I saw the show, and it will be my ship till I die! That's my story and I'm stickin to it!

NOTE 2: Despite the fact that I'm extremely flattered by requests that I continue or do second parts to my one-shots, I have decided it is necessary to write this. I will not take such requests. I made an exception once and regretted it. I do not add on to my one-shots as they are meant to be complete and I write as much as I can into them. What gets cut is unnecessary and detracts from the story. I exhaust all my creativity to these one-shots for that plot. Which makes it very hard for me to write another. So unless I have a sudden inspiration for a sequel to it (which is unlikely), I will not add to my one-shots. I will take requests for something you'd like to see for my next one-shot (like I did for "The Worst Birthday Ever"). So in conclusion: Sequels=no. Separate plot=possibly, most likely yes. Permission to write your own sequel to my one-shots=Happy face! Yes. I am not so selfish as to say you cannot have resolution. If you can think of a sequel plot to one of my one-shots, feel free to write it up, post it (please, credit me/reference people to the original), and drop me a note so I can check it out!

WHAT A KISS MEANS

Kiss on the stomach = "I'm ready"
Kiss on the Forehead = "I hope we're together forever"
Kiss on the Ear = "You're my everything"
Kiss on the Cheek = "We're friends"
Kiss on the Hand = "I adore you"
Kiss on the Neck = "we belong together"
Kiss on the Shoulder = "I want you"
Kiss on the Lips = "I love you"

What the gesture means...
Holding Hands = "we definitely love each other"
Slap on the Butt = "That's mine"
Holding on tight = "I don't want to let go"
Looking into each other's Eyes = "I just plain love you"
Playing with Hair = "Tell me you love me"
Arms around the Waist = "I love you too much to let go"
Laughing while Kissing = "I am completely comfortable with you"
picking someone up off their feet = "that they love them fully and would do anything for them"

"Bloom. Blooom! Blooooooooooom! BLOOM! Ba-loom! Bloom, you freaking tree! BA-LOOM!"-- me when playing Okami and trying to get a sakura tree to bloom

Kakashi: Oh yeah. Kakashi knows everything. If we have a problem, Kakashi will know the answer. We can't do research ourselves! Quick, Kakashi! Help us! Asses.

Kakashi: Thanks, we do use awesome props. catches shuriken on fingers Like this shuriken. See how sharp it looks. splork Oops.

Iruka: Ah, great. Now I've got to drive Kakashi to the hospital.

Naruto: Did you make any progress, Sasuke?

Sasuke: Hang on a sec, Naruto. (in thoughts) Okay, you stupid log, I'll show you!

(cut to classic Final Fantasy RP battle screen Sasuke's stats: 1/10 HP, 4/10 MP. Log's stats: 999/999 HP, 999/999 MP.)

Sasuke: Oh, come on.

Log casts Bahumet.

Sasuke: Oh son of a... Wha! Uh! (takes 9234 damage)

Sakura: So, Sasuke, how did it--

Sasuke: Don't. Say. Anything.

Kakashi: No. We're supposed to protect you from C-ranked villians. So if a squirrel attacks you, we're all over it.

Kakashi: These filler episodes in the Zabuza saga are taking forever.

Sasuke: Yeah but I mean, can we do anything about it?

Kakashi: Ah sweet! I found the remote!

Naruto: Nice! So what're you going to do with it?

Kakashi: Duh, fast forward of course. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannndd, go. (many scenes flash by) Let's try... here.

Haku: Oh. And by the way, I'm really a woman.

Kakashi: Whoops. Not far enough. (more fast forwarding)

Naruto: Kakashi, what're you doing?!

Kakashi: The button's stuck! (several grunts of effort plays normally)

Orochimaru: So, Anko, are you ready?

Kakashi: Way too far! (rewinds stops plays) There we go. (sound of glass breaking and screen shrinks down)

Sasuke: No. I'm not doing anything.I don't care if the camera's on me. Screw it!

Haku: Then I guess I'll have to go. Crystal Ice Mirrors!

Sasuke: Heeey... I can see a lot of myself. I like this attack! Hey there, handsome. Oh... my god. Now I can only see Haku. It's like a bad fanfiction!

Haku: What are you talking about? This is nothing like a fanfiction. Now stand still while I thrust these pointy objects into your body.

Naruto: Wow. Sasuke looks pretty beat up. And Sakura's... untouched as usual. Hey, Sakura! How bout you friggin do something?!

Sakura: I would, but I broke a nail.

Naruto: I'm gonna break somethin else of yours in a minute!

Naruto: Mm, sensei's right. Unless! attacks with shadow clones again, music included!

Kakashi: Will you stop that?!

"Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I'll turn him into a flea, a harmless little flea, and then I'll put that flea in a box, and then I'll put that box inside of another box, and then I'll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives, ah ha ha ha! I'll smash it with a hammer!"--Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove

I'm telling you, Teal'c, if we don't find a way out of this soon, I'm going to lose it. 'Lose it'. It means go crazy. Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No longer in possession of one's faculties.

Chriss:Well, show sympathy for my plight as an unemployed writer, why don't you?!

Matt: I weep crocodile tears. Unemployed writers have more free time to spend with half-blind jerks.-- Dramacon (volume 3) by Svetlana Chmakova

Chriss: ...Do you believe in soulmates?

Matt: Yes. The Tooth Fairy, too.

Chriss's thoughts: ...Let me revise that.

FOOM!!

Reporter: An extraordinary case of spontaneous human combustion reported today at Yattacon, a yearly event that celebrates anime and manga...

Matt: ...Okay, that sounded bad, but what I really meant was...

Chriss: I'm not talking to you!! You totally ruined my movie moment!!-- Dramacon (volume 3) by Svetlana Chmakova

(emitting from a box on Calvin's floor. The box has G.R.O.S.S. inscribed on it) Calvin: This emergency meeting of the Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS Club will come to order, Dictator-for-life Calvin presiding!

Hobbes: Oyez! Oyez!

(Inside the box with only a flashlight for illumination) Calvin: As we're all aware, the enemy has infiltrated our territory and is spreading disinformation to the effect that homework ought to be done right after school! As my mom may have covert girl sympathies, we must eradicate the hostile forces! Any questions?

(outside the box again) Hobbes: Yes. Could we poke some air holes in here?

Calvin: Too risky the box of secrecy must remain secure!--Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

(Calvin sits at a desk, head propped in hands, tongue hanging out, and eyes glazed over.)

(throwing hands up in the air and eyes crossing) Calvin: What on Earth am I doing in here on this beautiful day?! This is the only life I've got!!

(overturns desk and chair and leaves papers and pencil flying in the wake of his departure) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Mrs. Wormwood: (holding Calvin by shirt collar) Next time, try a drink of water and a few deep breaths.--Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

(Calvin sits in bed alongside a yawning Hobbes) Calvin: Every Saturday morning is the same. We get up at the crack of dawn, watch cartoons and eat sugary cereal until we fight, and then Mom throws us out of the house. It never changes.

Hobbes: (hopping out of bed) That's what I like about Saturdays too!

Calvin: (racing for the door) First one downstairs gets to pick the cartoons!--Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

(Calvin and Hobbes are sledding down a hill, scarves whipped out behind them by the wind)

Hobbes: There's a tree! Hit the brakes!

(a passengerless sled is directly in front of a tree trunk. Just beyond the tree a tiger's nose and rear end are seen above the snow with a little boy sprawled at his feet.)

Calvin: Trees are my brakes.--Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson
