Hi, everyone.

This is Shizuka Kaze.

One of my stories, 'The Seduction Game', has been deleted by fanfiction . net because some one apparently had a problem with the story. However, since quite a number of people seemed to like it and I've decided to re-upload it after my lovely betas finsh proofread it. Hope you guys enjoy it!

I'm slowly transporting everything from my old account to this new one. I intent to stop updating to that account when the move is complete.

'The Seduction Game' has received a nomination for Best Alternate Reality/Universe fic of the Second Quarter of 2005, by the Inu Yasha Fanfiction Guild. It has also received First Place for Best AU Fic by Feudal Associations.

Updating Status as of 03/16/09

Chapter 10 - 95 completed! I promise it will be extra long!

Updating Status as of 01/15/09

Chapter 10 - still 85 percent. I've found a few things I'd like to add and some changes to dialogue, so it'll end up longer than orginally planned. Look for an update sometime soon!

Hi, you guys probably realized that I failed to meet the deadline That's my schedule has been a disaster this quarter so currenlty I am taking six classes - 5 of them whihc have discussions - for the first two weeks. And anybody who's gone through college knows that taking more than four a quarter is not something you want to do if you want to live a long and healthy life. Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to have the chapter done next week, or otherwise I'll have midterms/tests/finals every week, starting in week 4, till the start of the summer. And my summer is not looking relaxing, either.

I'll definitely send out this chapter to my betas before the Tuesday after the next as I only have the last part and the review replies left to do. From then on, it is up to them as when I post. Thank you to everyone who have been sending me encouragements, I promise it will be at least 8000 words to make up for the super long wait (I'll post the actual length after it's done)..

Happy, happy news. I have finally started to re-write chapter 9 of The Seduction Game, and I am happy to report that I have about 10 percent done. I just hope I don't offend anyone with some of the content... I know politics can be a very sore spot for some.

The Seduction Game:
Chapter 9 - Actually, I had already 40 done, but my computer got re-formatted, which means that I lost everything. My goal? Hopefully before Chinese New Year, but unfortunately, school has started, and college if definitely no walk through the park!

Update status as of July 25th:

Bearings of a Curse: An idea I received from watching a chinese series dealing with ghosts, demons, and humans. It's an excellent story with wonderful characters, but a tragic ending. I can't get the two main characters' painful parting out of my mind, so I decided to write my own ending and resolve all the differences and sorrows of the original one. Let's see if I'm able to create a happy ending. The volume itself was written a couple hundred years ago, with a collection of short stories. However, the one I'm writing about it not very well known, so even though it is a parody, many will probably be reading something like that for a first time. If you recognize the story, I'll be delighted to hear it. However, I'm putting some of my own unique twists into it to make it more entertaining.

The Seduction Game Update - May 22nd. A very happy birthday to katt_jam. It's been marked on my calendar since last year.

NEXT UPDATE - The timing is still undecided, but hopefully sometime during the summer. However, I am taking at 2 classes during summer at UCLA and I am also going on a month-long missions trip to China where I won't have access to a computer. However, I promise chapter 8 will be out before school starts (for me, that's October 1st). Right now, I am stuck in finals, so I won't have time to update - but never fear, I will still write.

Cherry Blossom in the fangs of the Wolf:

My newest fanfic, dealing with Card Captor Sakura. I have the general outline already down, so I can promise that the twists will be fun to write and hopefully read.

Chapter 1: - 20 percent done

If you'd like a notification whenever a new chapter to a certain story is updated, but do not have an ff.net account, leave me a review stating that and your e-mail address with the story of your choice, and I'll e-mail you.

The Seduction Game: These are the only - I repeat, only - pairings I'll write about for TSG: Inuyasha/Kagome, Sesshoumaru/Kagura, Miroku/Sango, Inutaisho/Izayoi (Yeah, I know Inutaisho is his title, but that's the best name I can come up with).

However, if anyone wishes to see another story with any pairings BESIDES Sesshoumaru and Rin or Sesshoumaru and Kagome... I am open to requests.

Addtional Ideas for stories (Though they won't be written or started anytime soon, but these are just ideas I've been toying with in my head)

Ranma 1/2 - Amazon Love: Crown Prince Ranma Saotome, infamous lady's man, is betrothed to the princess of the Amazon tribe, Shampoo, to secure an alliance. Not thrilled, he reluctantly agrees to the alliance. However, the moment he saw the fiery, beautiful Amazon, he swore she would be his. Too bad his future wife wants him as far as physically possible from her. Ranma/Shampoo (A.N: I really want to write this one, but I just know Akane lovers are gonna kill me).

Card Captor Sakura - Cherry Blossom in the Fangs of the Wolf: Sakura is the new girl in Hong Kong, and she has caught the eye of the most dangerous man known, Syaoran Li - rich multi-billionare and head of the Wolves. Caught in a deadly war between the Wolves and the Vipers, how will she survive? Can she quench the passions in her heart as she is engaged to a stranger she has never met? What secrets could she be hiding? Is a happy ending even possible? S/S

Inuyasha - Cross Us If You Dare: Inspired by a lovely piece of fanart. They were the most feared FBI agents. She was the wind and fire; he was ice and water. Together they were unbeatable, but with a fanatic ex-boyfriend and a clingy mistress, they have overcome their animosity for this case, which proves to the toughest yet. Especially when the serial killer's newest targets happens to be very personal - them. A Kagura/Sesshoumaru story.

Tamora Pierce - Enchanted: When Thom introduces his headstrong sister - who has been studying in the city of mages - to the Court in Tortall, the Court is shocked and mystified by the outspoken and vibrant girl. Lady Alanna, sent by her master on a secret mission, has set her eyes upon Crown Prince Jonathan as a possible and powerful ally, and is determined to have his aid in her cause. But with her Gift, how can she determine the sincererity of the attraction after weaving the spells around his heart? And with the lies between them, are both doomed to taste of ultimate betrayal? A/J

High School Musical - Too Much! Everyone needs friends, but what about meddling friends who love to poke their noses into other people's business? Tory and Gabriella have to figure out just how much it is worth to keep up pretending that their relationship does not exist, especially as their parents do not know about it. And meanwhile, Ryan and Sharpay are doing a bit of plotting of their own. Is love worth all this trouble? T/G

Please do not steal my ideas! Thank you.

I got this from breaking-midnight's profile:

92 percent of the teen population would be dead if Abercrombie and Fitch said it wasn’t cool to breathe. Repost this if you are one of the 8 percent who would be laughing your ass off.

95 percent of teenagers are concerned about being popular. If you are one of the 5 percent who aren’t, copy this, put it in your profile.
