2006,新年快乐!!! 及杂谈

先祝大家

新年快乐,百合如意!!!

接着2004这百合动画大行其道的一年(圣母、圣母春、神无月、舞HiME、学园爱丽丝、魔法少女奈叶、KS OVA1),2005年不仅是继承和延续,而且是声优的百合年(啥)。

动画的百合度或许还比不上2004,但也有HiME后半、极上生徒会、莓乱扔、ARIA、魔法少女奈叶A's、舞乙HiME、KS OVA2,还有非主线的(或打擦边球)LOVELESS、FMP TSR、BLEACH,还有几部纯为商业化加上百合情节的我就不提了。连制作方都明白,只要百合沾边的都能大卖。时代已经不一样了啊!在资深百合迷(我可以这样说自己吧XD)看来,开心的同时,更希望能多出精品,千万不要重蹈当年BL类作品滥而不精的复辙啊!!!

声优方面,完全靠记忆的回想的event/八卦主要有:
年初1月26日tiaraway宣布解散,tiaraway终成tear away;

之后是拉锯许久的能登争夺战--生天目在日记、访谈、radio中和能登情话绵绵--某忘还在等着gcc老师的总结呢;

后来是川澄的目标转移到千叶?同时也不防碍她在marunabi里面和能登玩抱抱;

千叶在日记里和菊地美香相互告白;

而南里则和由记大神打得火热;

田村ゆかり给浅川悠的“LOVE!LOVE!大好き(心)”的情书告白和浅川在日记里的真挚回复


众声优们不是打算靠这个来添人气吧。。。虽然说我发现自己还真的好喜欢八卦新闻(汗)
这方面的怨念我只有一个:南里和千叶不就这么一拍两散了吧??
两人在一起那么恩爱的样子我始终忘不了。。。。。。
希望明年有她俩的新消息Orz

话说2006年看来也会很火爆:

1月份我都等不及了:

Fate/Stay Night:1月7日凌晨1:30 每周六

かしまし:1月11日凌晨1:30 每周三

这两个片子居然是同一个点播出。。。

4月份更劲爆:

Strawberry Panic

ARIA 第2季

School Rumble 第2季

还有这两部不知道该不该看。。。

処女はお姉さまに恋してる

女子高生


秋天的时候则有圣母的OVA,说不定还有奈叶第3部、舞丙HiME(我是来乱的)XDDD

总之2006是很值得期待的一年哦!

还有欢迎大家以后也常来这里作客^_^


ps:圣母在上22卷,白地图的详细英文剧透见此

2005印象之川上とも子

因为是某忘的本命声优,第一篇特定声优的感想就确定是川上姐姐啦!

其实我不久前才开始注意一些川上姐姐的资料:34岁、东京人、喜欢户外活动、滑雪,特技是钢琴(我很吃了一惊,居然和川澄姐姐一样,难怪两人都去演Piano。。。XDDD)不仅有自己的radio,在radio里还戴过兔耳(汗)、还有cosplay过观铃OTL 这点和对这些事情都不屑一顾的川澄很不一样吧(笑)不过我发现的一件最扼腕的事就是---川上姐姐2001年6月有来过AnimExpo啊!!!她居然是美国每年最大的动漫展最先请的guest之一----错过那次机会的我,不知道什么时候才有可能见到她了呢。。。。。。

今年我对川上姐姐的印象变化很大。在我心中,川上姐姐一直是以天上ウテナ、进藤光、罗塞特等角色为代表的元气少女/少年型声优;虽然说也有克里丝克里丝托夫这样的更加男性化,和Elfen Lied里最后死得很惨的某标准loli这样的人物,不过印象都不深。

可是今年一开始。。。

AIR TV-神尾观铃



截了两张经典的观铃叫“妈妈”的场面来回忆一下这个让我哭了半个钟头的动画好了。毫无疑问观铃是川上姐姐最成功的角色之一。AIR我是冲着名气去看的,完全不知道cast也不知道故事;看片尾声优表的时候下巴掉了下来不说,哪怕是怀着“观铃是川上”的心情去看接下来的集数,都不能相信这ガオ、ガオ的弱气loli声竟然真的是川上发出来的。

久川绫的晴子阿姨也是真正good job!顺便一提她最近老是接些妈妈级的角色,像晴子和Lindy提督,极上生徒会里兰堂的母亲。。。唯一例外的只有我的女神里的老三,不过这是老角色的新片,算不上新角色。别告诉我现在久川定型做人妻了OTL 她的声音就好认多了,从第一句话我就听了出来(汗)不过这一点也不妨碍我看这部动画的投入程度。12话里久川的台词太多了这一点我也同意,但这是导演编剧的错不是吗?久川和川上的合作都有质量保证的XDDD

AIR movie风格差很多(不是新的夏季篇,那个我还没看),以莫名奇妙的爱情故事为主线(汗)看不看本来无所谓的,之所以提出来是想说一下川上在movie中的声音和TV中完全不同呢!(说到这点,少革TV和movie中她也用了稍微不同的声音哦)我还是更喜欢TV里的声音,但是对川上姐姐的敬业精神越发佩服了(心)

BLEACH-碎蜂




Bleach唯一看过的这两话,我100%是冲着川上去看的。碎蜂的硬硬冷冷的声音,略嫌古怪的句速(这肯定是Bleach本身的步调问题。。。),又是另一种崭新感觉的川上XDDD 难得的是还要用这种声线配出可爱的loli时代,120%的小受感觉的小碎蜂。。。。。。等到那句“为什么那时不带我一起走”的经典台词出现的时候,做好了全副心理准备的我还是被彻彻底底的萌到了:这种终于在自己心爱的人面前沦陷崩溃的感觉,这种撕心裂肺的痛哭,除了川上不做第2人想~~~


ARIA-雅典娜




今年川上姐姐的第2个百合角色哦!而且让我的下巴又一次掉了下来。。。。。。雅典娜这个角色,应该说是迷迷糊糊的御姐型吧?温柔的声音自不必说,我印象最深的倒是雅典娜每回出糗的那几声“诶~”“诶~~” 她在第1季里戏不多,而且总是在奇怪的地方抖到我OTL
还有第2季倒是会讲些什么啊?《---还没看漫画的某人


极上生徒会-辛迪,野郎妈妈,小香的弟弟



每话都会出现,说着英文的粗嗓门辛迪,总是让我笑很大XDDD 还有川上自己客串的出场两话不到,粗口说了一箩筐的爆笑母亲。让我更加惊讶的是有些台词甚至是川上自己即兴的表演。。。啊啊啊~~首次领略到川上姐姐的恶搞功力OTL


军曹-日向冬树

这个已经拍了90话的长篇,看样子明年也会继续--难道军曹会成为新一代的国民动画?川上姐姐的正太声是她的铁。。。噢不,金饭碗啊~~~
那么,日向家的少爷,学习一般、运动不行、好奇心旺盛、爱情感超迟钝,却总在危急时刻拯救地球不下50次的可爱少年,明年也请老神在在地用友谊感化外星人--噢不,青蛙吧XDDD


夫妻成长日记-妻子


这部是老片了,不过我今年才有机会看到第1话OTL 而且后面的还在寻找中。。。
女主角的名字我忘了(汗)因为久闻川上姐姐的这部H而去找来看了,结果是意外的好看+可爱的H啊(汗)
妻子好奇老公的录像带里有什么(还能有什么= =;;;),正在看的时候老公回来了,因此有了上面的一幕(哈哈哈)
川上的声线么。。。可爱的妻子类型的,不坏,不过印象不深。
这部的导演制作都很有名气,不过我忘了是谁(lier!)还有川上的真名就这样堂堂的写在cast表里呢Orz

最后再说一下其他角色:7月某中原主演的后宫片里川上参演一个常规役,不过我看了一话就删了,无甚可谈。再就是10月地狱少女第1话里的客串恶役!!我是头一回听到川上的恶役御姐声,抖得非常厉害(笑)啊啊啊,川上要是更多御姐的角色就好了XDDD

2005年末,经过了弱气、强气、loli、御姐、正太、恶役、搞笑、正统的诸多角色的洗礼,川上姐姐的实力不容质疑!我甚至有了种她无论什么样的角色都能配的感觉(大心)。希望在2006年里,川上姐姐的事业更加蒸蒸日上,我永远支持你!!!

那么,提前和大家说

圣诞快乐!



Translator’s notes

1. Hi sama/Tsuki sama
In the original text, Himeko and Chikane in their last lives are called by “the sun” and “the moon” followed by a respectful suffix for their positions (usually equal to high government officers). I chose to translate them to Japanese, as “hi” is the sun, “tsuki” is the moon, and “sama” is the corresponding way in Japanese. There are a few other occasions when I used Japanese roman words rather than English, but I think they are all easy to understand. As I was translating the story, I could almost hear Kawasumi Ayako and Shitaya Noriko’s voices…”Hi sama” “Tsuki sama”…^_^

2. Ame no Murakumo/Orochis, etc
Just a reminder for people, those are all original terms in the anime. Chikane’s horse’s name is changed to “Chasing Sun” in this fanfiction, as is loyally translated.

3. Otobashi shrine: Otobashi is the name of Chikane and Himeko’s campus in the anime.

4. Tenses
To show the time difference, I used passive tense for the stories in the last life and present tense in this life.

====================

Final Chapter



Silence falling upon, the barren and infertile land saddened the current scene even more.

Her hand trembled fiercely with the katana, whose silver blade kept reflecting its owner’s pale and despaired looks.

On the moon, witnessed by the deserted shrine, only she and Hi sama were still standing.

The decisive battle had been over, but people’s haunting screams and shrieks still lingered around her ears.

Worn out, she kneeled down on the ground. Supported solely by the cursed blade, she managed not to fall completely.

Then a pair of familiar arms gently circled her into a warm embrace.

“……Are you fine?” Hi sama spoke softly with her tender voice, smoothing the dark long hair of the hugged girl comfortingly.

She nodded silently. She was still gripping that two-handed sword with her right hand, as if it had become one with her body and were never to be let go again.

And her free left hand held tightly on Hi sama, since this girl had long been one with her soul, too, and were not to be let go easily.

“All over now……Orochis……and everyone……” She sobbed, “If I could have tried harder, if I had been stronger……I could, I could have saved them……”

Hi sama sighed by her ear. Her tea-colored hair, soft and smelling so nice just like its owner, lightly stroke her cheeks, consoling her sorrow.

“The kind Juuiki……” Hi sama’s nose caressed her face, her delicate voices containing a clear lingering. “ The Juuiki who wants to protect everyone……”

She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth and understanding from Hi sama.

“Do you think you did not try hard enough?” Said Hi sama in an unusually calm tone.

“Em.” She nodded, self-blaming.

“Do you think that everyone was innocent and their lives shouldn’t have been sacrificed like that?” Still hugging her, Hi sama asked kindly.

“Em.” She nodded harder.

“Do you want to……” The hand smoothing her hair stopped, and she detected a sudden change in Hi sama’s tone. “……let everything return to its original state, and let everyone survive and live in happiness?”

A little suspicious about why Hi sama croaked, she still answered firmly, “Yes, I do.”

“……Is that so……” Hi sama murmured, a light smile appearing on her face.

Those shining purple eyes were filled with her images alone, she couldn’t help looking at them infatuatedly.

Without notice, a mask carved strangely appeared in Hi sama’s hands. “Juuiki, remember what I told you last night?” Said Hi sama in her sweetest voice, her affectionate expressions bloomed like splendid peony flowers.

She stared at that casual smiling face in astonishment.

“I said, ‘after today, I will devote myself to you’……” Passing the mask with both hands to the other girl, Hi sama continued softly, “ ‘This is not only a promise, but also my wish.’”

“----What do you mean by that?” No, this was not right. Something, something horrible was going to happen. She clearly smelt the atmosphere spreading in the air turning heavy and freezing. “I don’t understand what you are saying.”

/I didn’t WANT to understand, either. / Hi sama’s smiling face made her almost break to tears.

With a feeble sigh, Hi sama explained slowly and patiently, like a teacher explaining to a five-year-old. “There have been no record after Orochis’ defeat, because the priests didn’t want it known by people how much cruel sacrifices their respected mikos had to make to protect the world peace for the mankind----”

Just by touching this limpid-eyed girl, Hi sama could feel a violently oscillating heat source from her fingertips. This heat flew throughout her body and entered her soul, which had been calling for warmth and freedom forever.

“----We are mikos of the sword; we hurt with the sword, also will be hurt by the sword, because everything has its price to pay for…… I am ready to take this condition, and you---- ” Hi sama clasped the young miko’s hand, assisting her to lift the attached blade. “You, the noble Miko of the moon, should also choose to pay something to protect this world, shouldn’t you?”

To pay everything.

She knew what Hi sama meant, she knew that Hi sama was aware of her determination to give up everything to protect this world.

“----So you must do it, as it is the fate of Mikos of the godless month----” Hi sama reinforced her hand and her nails fallen deep in her back of hand. “Use my life to restore the world.”

“NO!” She jerked the petite girl away. “That kind of things----how can I, how COULD I----” Her violently shaking hands, however, were still holding tightly the shaft, unable to throw it away, which made her so sick that she felt like vomiting.

“You have to, that’s why you were born.”

“I was born to HELP you!”

“To help me purify this world.”

“NO!” She shouted with all her might, “NO! IT IS NOT LIKE THAT! I WAS NOT BORN FOR THIS----THIS……” Tears flooded over her face, but she didn’t even notice it. “I WAS NOT BORN TO KILL YOU……”

Hi sama stood up. Staring at the mask for a few seconds, she raised her head and looked at those anguishing blue eyes quite imposingly and frankly. “We have tried this hard, for this long, with this much lost, would you rather make it all for nothing?”

A sign of disapproval and disappointment showed up on Hi sama’s cool and determined face.

She bit her lips so hard that a taste of blood diffused into her mouth and spread at her tongue tip. “Then take MY life----” Waving her bright purple katana, she placed it right against her own neck.

Hi sama quivered,as if she were going to dash forward to stop her。

“Please kill me, and use my life to purify this world----”

“There will be no use even if I kill you.” The cold voice effectively cut through her words.

As she peered in surprise, Hi sama maintained her indifferent, profound looking. “You are no longer a virgin. At the moment when you lost your virginity, you have also lost your eligibility of being a sacrifice.”

As the truth was revealed coldly by Hi sama, there had never been any moment when she felt so shameful of, or disgusted by her own body.

“That’s why you……it is because of this, you, you and me……” She couldn’t even put words together. What Hi sama and she did last night, those caressing and embraces, those intimacy and kisses, what were they, after all?

Those hands tenderly touching every inch of her skin, those eyes affectionately appreciating each of her virgin territories, those words of love and adoration, those droplets of tears……

Why on earth did all those things happen?

“Juuiki,” Hi sama agonized. “Please don’t doubt my feelings for you. This is more unacceptable to me than our arranged destiny.”

The petite young miko walked to her. “We have both made our choices. Maybe you can’t forgive or understand me, however, the only thing you shouldn’t doubt is----” Hi sama stood on her toes and left a light kiss on her familiar, warm lips. “My heart for you.”

The kiss brought a bloody taste mixed with tears and the iron blade. Hi sama sympathetically licked those wounded lips of her companion with her tongue.

However, there was nothing she could do to help that wounded heart. She could only repose her hope to the unclear future, and pray with her life that the to-be-forgotten memory would no longer hurt this innocent, good girl.

“The sun exists so that the moon would shine……And I, was born in this world so that you can live on.”

The icy, hard mask was lightly put on her face, as a small hand gently lifted her hand with the blade.

“We both should finish what we are supposed to do……This is the mission of us mikos……”

A feeble but fully understanding voice irrigated her mind.

“Wish you……can live happily in a peaceful world……”

Howling like a beast, she darted forward, almost losing her mind. Her hands clasping the shaft were burning like flames.

“My Juuiki……” As the blade was thrust deep into the soft body falling into her arms, her strange mask also fell down. “……my moon……”

Hi sama, smiling weakly and not showing the slightest sign of pain, extended her forceless, blood-drenched hand to caress her teary face. There wasn’t any pain on Hi sama’s face. “Thank you for making me grateful of this destiny……”

For the last time, Hi sama embraced her tenderly. “……Thank you……for letting me live once for real……”

More hot tears sprang out of her eye sockets, dripping on the ground and soon disappearing. Even they seemed to understand a life passing way, and to be grieving in their own way.

She drooped and kissed lightly on those slightly bloody lips, she whispered softly, “……Love you, my warmest sun.”

“----With a miko’s life presented by another miko’s hands, the world shall be purified again----“ A voice came from an unknown source appeared, “You shall reincarnate into another being……to live in the new world, Miko of the moon……”

“……I will not forget……” She looked up, teary eyes emitting cold, darting blue light. “……I will not forget who has made me murder the one I love the most.” Betrayed by her own belief, her resentful eyes were as freezing and piercing as the never-melting ice.

Silence and solemnness surrounded her again completely, taking her away from the only warm and bright existence, dragging her cruelly apart from the other half of her soul.

And she would not forget. Never.

In the next life, she swore, this scene would never occur once again. The purple katana would not have a chance to be stuck inside of Hi sama.

She would never forget who ruthlessly isolated the sun and the moon with day and night.






Silver rays of light shine brilliantly from the seal on her back, which is burning so much that Chikane’s vision blurs.

She quietly stares at the kissing boy and girl at the sea, her heart swollen with all the pain and sorrow accumulated over a thousand years. That eternal love makes her unable to breathe, nor to move her eyes away from them.

“I see…… So this is……how it is……” Chikane lowers her head and shows a bitter smile. Caressing the mane of “Chasing Sun”, she murmurs, “I see……”

The horse tamely follows the control of its master, cantering back the same way as it came by. The night breeze from the sea passes over all the living things in nature gently and swiftly,like the cool wind in the Godless month always does.

It loyally stays and equally embraces everything in the human world, even in the days without gods.

Everything that’s good and bad, everyone who’s happy and sad. Each good and evil, each love and hatred.

…… In the days when Gods are missing, Mikos of the sun and the moon. with their pure minds and firm beliefs in possession, always selflessly guard and protect the common world, till the eternity…….
In the legends, they take their turns to dye their thread of thousand-year destiny with each other’s blood, tying them tightly together, for the eternity……

Thanks!!!

It has been my very first translation work and so far, probably my longest writing, too. It had take me more than two months to do it, a now-and-then amateur work of course, and I hope that my style didn’t change too much over times = =;; It has been a lot of fun on the way, mixed with occasional dilemmas, and now it is finally done.

I would like to thank the staff of Kannaduki no Miko for the excellent plot and sharp characters that this story is based on.

I have to thank the author, Faith (FaithKasume), her work stimulated me into doing something as crazy as translating a 24-page Chinese fanfiction. She generously permitted my urge to work on one of her masterpieces and provided many valuable suggestions along the process. Thank Nitro for the very beautiful illustrations, which are but a few out of many inspired by Faith’s famous work.

At last, thank you who finished reading all of it, I wish that you had enjoyed it just like I did!

[Fanfiction-Kannaduki no Miko] The Fantasy of Last Life II—The Solitary Moon Arching over the Sky

Chapter Two

She straightened her back and stretched her arms, aiming at the black center of target with her sharp, cold eyes.

An arrow shot out, flying straightforward towards the goal.

It missed the center and hit on the edge of the target.

She furrowed her dark brows knowingly, releasing a weak sigh from her perfect ruddy lips.


“The purpose of archery practices is not just for you to shoot precisely at the center of target, but to train you in gaining concentration, and eventually reach the ultimate stage of ‘Null’.” Her master urged her as usual, also with a sigh.

“……Yes, master.”

So she agreed. However, she had been puzzled; what was “Null”? Did it mean not having any thoughts in one’s mind? Yet she was a human, full of thoughts like everyone else who lived in this world, wasn’t she?

Maybe she was not suitable to learn archery。

“Let’s stop here for today, maybe you should settle down your mind tonight.”

“Yes, master, thank you for your guidance.”

She couldn’t help feeling guilty and self-blaming, as she watched the back of her master staggering out of the dojo. She was fully aware that, no matter how many nights she were given, she could never achieve the state of “Null” as the master wished.

Because her heart had been swelling with a special one. Silently collecting her bow and arrows, she stepped back to her dorm, frustrated.

She didn’t know since when that pretty and gentle face had been co-existing synchronously with her own heartbeat. What she herself felt incredible was, how could she experience a non-stopping, turbulent yearning crying out loud from deep inside her soul, even if she were staring right into the other pair of eyes?

What on earth was it that she wanted, needed, and longed for?

“Ah! Have you finished your practices?” As soon as she ***ed the dorm door, this exact gently smiling face welcomed her. With a slightly bitter smile, she closed her eyes hopelessly.

This, was all that she wanted and needed--this person here—Hi sama, her welcoming tender eyesight and smile.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,”

Since a few days ago, they started to gather together after their individual long evening lessons. At first it was because she held a pile of books to consult Hi sama about legends, and then, soon they seemed to have a silent agreement that they would always talk to each other about what happened during the day before bed.

Sometimes, they just sat face to face without any redundant words。Hi sama would quietly read the books she brought, and she would quietly look at Hi sama.

Simple as this, it would enrapture her with exploding ecstasy. What “Null”--that was like Arabian nights to her.

“……The hand you wounded yesterday, is it fine now?” Hi sama gently pulled the young lady to sit down, her fondling fingers stroke lightly on the layers of gauze.

A shockwave of sensations pierced through the hindrance of gauze and still thrilled her body and soul. “Ye…Yes, it no longer aches.”

Hi sama loosened up with a satisfying smile, “That is great……”

Unexpectly, Hi sama took her wounded palm to her lips. “ My……Tsuki’s hand, I don’t want it ever hurt again.”

She blushed momentarily. “I, I will be careful.” Hi sama was a little strange tonight. She hadn’t been someone fond of caresses.


“Juuiki……I’ve been wishing to ask you----” Not letting go of her hand, Hi sama pull her closer with force instead. Now both of them could see clearly their reflections in each other’s eyes. “Do you wish to protect this world?”

What question was this? She doubtfully faced the other young lady. “It is our mission……is it not?” Hi sama’s smooth and warm breath was blowing on her face, this feeling was so wonderful that she wanted to become even closer, just a little bit more.

“Without this mission, do you still want to protect this world?......No matter what you have to sacrifice, no matter how much pain you have to withstand?” Hi sama questioned in a low voice, her mysterious, profound eyes seemed to be leading her, leading her to explore her true self。

Would she? She pondered. If she were not the chosen one by God, would she still wish to protect this world?

If not, how would Hi sama be? She would be alone, always, always alone. Her heart suffered a terrible piercing pain; she did not want to see an all-by-herself Hi sama.

She wanted to protect this world, so that Hi sama could happily live thereafter.

“Aye, I do.” She answered firmly, as she seriously and candidly looked into those purple eyes.

Hi sama smiled slightly, and something shining filled her eyes. That was a sorrowful expression, with an ultimate comprehension。

A very, very heart-wrenching expression.

She extended the other hand and caressed Hi sama’s cheek. “Did I say something wrong?”

“You only stated the answer I had known.” Softly replying, Hi sama rubbed her cheek against the warm palm, lingeringly. “……I adore you hand, always so warm, so considerate……just like you.”

Before she could think of any silly sentences, Hi sama had leaned forward and kissed her. Those soft and sweet lips enwrapped Hi sama’s smell, conveying entirely tranquil and comfortable feelings, just like a shower of afternoon sunshine.

It felt like as if after a century of wandering, she finally found the place where she belonged. Her hands, after being released, spontaneously rounded that young miko’s waist. She also allowed her lips to take over the control of her body, letting them be eagerly sought and kissed.

At the same time, she also permitted them to respond the kiss with her equivalent feelings.

“……Juuiki……” Hi sama’s delicate voice turned more bewitching with her short breaths. “……I love you……”

She sensed that Hi sama’s petite and soft breasts closely clinging to her own, her scented female body slowly moving in her arms, inflaming her by rubbing up and down against hers.

Kisses came to her neck, when Hi sama, laughing delightfully, licked her sensitive skin with the hot tip of her tongue, she could only melt down onto the floor.

Hi sama immediately pressed her body on top against hers. “I love you, Juuiki……You know it, right?” The bright golden hair streamed down and scattered in front of her chest, mingling with her own deep-colored hair.

She nodded hesitatingly, still unable to find her regular rhythms of heartbeats and breath.

Those shimmering purple eyes were as deep as valleys……Hi sama bent down and kissed her again. She considerately supported her own weight by one hand, while agilely sliding her other hand up along her waist.

She had never seen Hi sama like this. Insuppressible desires were burning like blazes, but she couldn’t tell where and when the flames were ignited.

Her miko suit was taken off readily. And then what covered her own was Hi sama’s half exposed body, as a pleasant moan managed to escape from her throat.

“……Always so gentle, so kind, Juuiki……love you----” Hi sama just exerted a little force with her waist, and she knowingly ***ed her legs, allowing Hi sama’s claim.

Even biting her lower lip, she still could not prevent her delightful panting.

“My Juuiki, my moon……” Hi sama raised her head and looked steadily into that pair of innocent, assuring blue eyes. Then she smiled gently, lowered down her head and kissed on her forehead. “……My warmest light……”

“----Hi sama, um----”

She wanted to say something, to tell this person how much she adored her. However, her abilities of thinking and speaking were lost in Hi sama’s non-stopping kisses, one after another. Her body also began to respond by instinct. Legs winding with legs, lips fondling with lips, their moist skins made their heated bodies sticking even tighter, even more inseparable.

“My moon……” Whispered Hi sama as she licked her earlobe with the tip of her tongue, those familiar small hands dictatorially exploring the private place that she had never let anyone in. “Love you----”

That voice was choking and weak. Was it because of the fierce affection or ……She turned her head around and saw, to her surprise, Hi sama’s face streaming with tears.

“Loved you always……” A deep, long kiss distracted her from a trifle pain as her body was entered.

Hi sama’s tears wet her face and slid into their lips. For a moment, she couldn’t distinguish if it was the keen kiss, or those hot tears that was making her own lips burning.

At this very moment when they united, she, however, felt as if Hi sama were at a very far distance----a distant place that even tight embraces and intimate fondling could never reach.

"Sorry......" She murmured, "I am sorry......so sorry......" Tears slid down her eye sockets, and she knew this pain did not belong to herself.

Hi sama softly smoothed her own hair moisturized by sweat and hugged her gently and indulgently. "Why are you apologizing?" After attentiveness, her voice did not sound naïve anymore,instead hoarse and mature.

"......Your name......" In between her choking sobs, she managed to utter a few words. "Still haven't...chosen you a name......"

Great pain and sorrow flooded in those purple eyes, fluid accumulating rapidly in them again.

"I never have a name." Hi sama kissed away the tears of the girl beneath her, only to let her own dripping. "I have never been really living, until the day I met you......I am so lucky to become your other half. It has been my most precious present."

This sincere confession moved her deep inside. She could only embrace tightly the petite body, the other half of her soul. “my sun……my warm light……don’t leave me----“ She couldn’t continue anymore, biting her trembling lips.

“Silly……I am not going anywhere.”

Sensing Hi sama’s cute nose gently rubbing her own face, she finally showed a smile.

“I won’t go anywhere, Juuiki……Don’t worry.” Hi sama softly whispered in her ears, accompanied by random warm kisses and naughty licks.

She hand swung to Hi sama’s half-open chest. “I want to touch you, too……” She curiously fondled the flaming, sun-shaped solar seal with her clever fingers.

So hot. She could feel waves of burning pain transmitted from her fingertips, as if she really touched the sun and felt its temperature.

Hi sama’s husky moans streamed to her ears, in spite of her biting on the lips. As she was going to explore further, however, Hi sama seized her hands.

“Juuiki, I want to feel your touch, too……” Gentle kisses warmed her palms. “But not now. You are tired, please rest.”

“But-----”


“Shh……” Hi sama diminished her argument by a kiss. "After tomorrow, I will devote myself to you......" Deep mysterious purple eyes fixed on her, Hi sama smiled. "You can count on it--- It is not only a promise, but also my wish."

She stared at Hi sama for quite a while, and finally yielded. With her happiness, her love in arms, this feeling was so peaceful and assuring. Slowly, she fell into a sound sleep.

"......Don't worry, my moon......After tomorrow, you will never cry for me anymore."

Even the moon outside, covered by dark clouds, failed to catch the final whisper from Hi sama.

===============

The turmoil outside the room woke her up suddenly from her sweet dreams.

Still confused, she got up and gazed at the other quilt by her side. What happened the night before gradually flowed back into her mind. Dressing up in her fastest speed, she only wanted to see Hi sama as soon as possible.

To confirm with her that what happened last night was not a dream, and that they were true to each other.

Once she opened the door, she immediately heard everyone’s screaming in panic piercing through the sky.

The sky was black. The sun was slowly veiled with dark, heavy clouds.

“Is this……” She stared into the sky in consternation, afraid of naming her speculations.

“The Sun eclipse.” Delicate yet cold voice rose from behind her. As she turned around, she caught the sight of the one she wanted to see the most, Hi sama. “Please hurry up and prepare for it, Tsuki sama----The time has come for the final battle with Orochis.”

That was a determined, indifferent expression and a commanding tone. Speechless, she looked at the maiden in the red miko suit, holding the crimson katana.

The air was smeared with a thick feel of filth and gloom.

“……Aye, Hi sama.”

好大的雪

波士顿正在经历着今年冬天的第4场雪,或者更确切的说,暴风雪。从为冰雪覆盖大半的实验室的窗外看去,漫天犹如没带眼镜时突然揭开蒸笼一样的模糊,雪片被卷到比十几层楼还要高,密密的布满了看得见的每一寸天空。不时传来的雷声和闪电如此震慑,竟让人觉得丝毫不真实。



这样的日子很适合拿不到旅行许可、不得不取消机票旅馆,万分沮丧的我吧。虽然说只是被迫推迟行程而已,心底里近乡情怯的感觉却还没有消去,反而更加强烈。
想念父母,想念我的兄长。到明年2月为止,就有4年没有回到家了吧。如天空一样放我去翱翔的父亲,如大地一样源源不断的给予我力量的母亲,和如月亮一样带
给我安心和幸福的的兄长,不孝的我不能经常待在你们身边,是我一直的遗憾。



前阵子听一休哥的片尾曲,小时候看的动画片--一休是皇族后裔,因为宫廷权力斗争,一生下来就被送到寺庙,离开妈妈的身边。而片尾的歌曲,就是一休写给母亲的两封信:



ははうえさま お元気ですか

   ゆうべ杉のこずえに

   あかるくひかる星ひとつみつけました

   星はみつめます ははうえのようにとても優しく

   わたしは星にはなします

   くじけませんよ 男の子です

   さびしくなったら はなしにきますね いつかたぶん

   それではまた おたよりします

   ははうえさま  いっきゅう



ははうえさま お元気ですか

   きのうお寺にこねこが

   となりの村にもらわれていきました

   こねこはなきました かあさんねこにしがみついて

   わたしはいいました

   なくのはおよし さびしくないさ

   男の子だろ かあさんにあえるよ いつかきっと

   それではまた おたよりします

   ははうえさま  いっきゅう



中文翻译(转):



母亲大人:
您好吗?


昨晚我在杉树的枝头边
看到了一颗明亮的星星。


星星凝视着我,
就像妈妈一样,
非常的温柔。


我对星星说:
不能沮丧哦,(因为我)是男孩子。


如果寂寞的话,我再来找你说话……
什么时候呢?大概…吧。


就写到这里吧,期待您的回信,母亲大人。
一休。



母亲大人:
您好吗?


昨天,寺里的小猫
被邻村的人
带走了。


小猫哭了,
紧紧抱着猫妈妈不放。


我(对小猫)说:
乖,别哭了,你不会寂寞的。


你是个男孩子对吧?
会再见到妈妈的。
什么时候呢?一定(会)…吧。


就写到这里吧,期待您的回信,母亲大人。
一休。



听到“
ははうえさま お元気ですか”和“なくのはおよし さびしくないさ


   男の子だろ” 这两句时不由得哽咽鼻酸。一个10岁左右的小男孩,想念母亲,而又告诉自己要坚强的心情,十几年后再次清晰地传达到了我的心中。告诉朋友说这件事的时候,朋友用了1秒种就下了结论:“你想妈妈了啊!”



我恍然大悟。是啊。我想母亲了,想家了。与爱情相比,亲情也许是恰巧相反的东西;哪怕隔得再远,也仿佛就在身边。在异乡打拼的日子里,因为时时感觉到这一
点,我并不觉得孤单。然而终于,想家的感觉终于席卷过来,如潮水般将我淹没;在这冰冷的世界中,想要到那最永恒不变的,温暖的地方去----



那么,再等我几个月吧。。。。。。Orz
