Some random fandom bits:

(from manganews, who got it from someone else?):

Prince of Tennis is going to be made into a live action movie, and an OVA anime will show up at some point in time. Also, at some point in time, I may invest a little time in searching for the rare MomoRyo doujin (it's rare to me).

Fujimi Orchestra is ... interesting. It kinda reminds me of what I didn't like about most harem anime (predetermined relationship, with the majority of the cast supporting a pushy love interest), but... I guess art wins over on this little BL manga.

Also got to read a Digital Manga release called Antique Bakery. Pretty simplistic art, story looks interesting so far.

Yeah, um. Whenever Tokyopop/Blu comes out with Love Mode, I'll be jogging over to the nearby bookstores.

Watched the Ghostbusters movie the other night. Caught all the adult jokes, laughed at the cheesy. Hadn't seen that in years, still love it.

Some off-beat ficcage for you. Enjoy.



based on observation:

"I think it's full."

Two pairs of eyes stared at the glass test tube, both squinting as a tiny bubble floated lazily up to the top to pop at the opening.

Plip.

"Yeah, I think it's full, too."

Gojyo heaved a sigh, then remembered that he still held the tiny test tube in his hand. Searching in his pocket, he found a matching tiny test-tube-topper, and topped the tube, snapping the rubber loudly. Goku watched the redhead do this with a careful eye; they'd invested too much into the project to let so much as a drop fall from the toothpick-sized container.

Well, it was slightly larger than a toothpick, Goku corrected himself. Actually, it could probably hold about three of them. Or four. Or five.

"Stop staring, stupid monkey," Gojyo frowned at the teenager as he stuffed the tube into one of his pants pockets. "It's making me nervous."

After a moment, he pulled the tube out and wrapped it in a piece of paper he found in another pocket. Then wrapped it again with some tissue from another. Then he remembered the condom in his back pocket -

"So are we going to do this, or what?"

"Nyeah, yeah," Gojyo said through clenched teeth; condom wrappers never seemed to open when he needed them. Not that he used them much, but Hakkai always got that worried look, so there.

The wrapper popped open, and Gojyo nearly dropped the paper-and-tissue-wrapped test tube.

Goku was ten feet away by the time Gojyo had stabilized himself, the tube teetering on the tip of his finger.

The two of them stared at each other, then stared at the test tube.

The tissue didn't look wet, nothing seemed broken.

"..." They stared at each other again.

"I think we should head back." Goku said. His hand was twitching in an odd way, and he wasn't coming any closer to the kappa.

"... Yeah."

+++++

"I'm not drinking that shit," Sanzo declared as soon as the waitress left the table, their drinks sitting, still full, in front of them. Goku and Gojyo feigned surprise, which everyone knew, on a good day, that that would only piss the monk off even more. Hakkai chugged away at the water; driving in the sun all day did have its toll, after all.

"It's just water, Sanzo," Goku proclaimed, and Gojyo backed it up with a disdainful snort.

Sanzo took the opportunity to polish his revolver. "The innkeeper saw you two idiots out by the creek all day; he has a window overlooking the valley, you know. You're drinking that shit you put in my drink."

Goku had a hard time keeping secrets from Sanzo to begin with, but him stealing glances at Gojyo told more than he needed to say in the first place. Finally, Gojyo sighed, and grabbed Sanzo's drink -

- and gulped the entire glass of water down his throat, finishing with a huge:

"Aaaaahhh."

Sanzo, satisfied, took a sip from his newly-acquired glass.

Wiping off his mouth, Gojyo shrugged at the monk, set his own glass in front of the blond, then proceeded to wharf all over a passing guardsman.

"HEY!"

After the chain of events that followed that outburst, not long after, though, but while they were still in the inn, recuperating from the recent beatdown session, Goku was worried.

"It didn't work, Gojyo." Their room being right next to Sanzo and Hakkai's, he spoke somewhat softly.

"... Wha?" The kappa raised an eyebrow toward the monkey. At least, he tried to.

"We spent all that time looking for all that extract, and making it, and now he made you drink it all, and I'm hungry!" It wasn't a proper Goku complaint without mention of food, but Goku seemed abnormally serious about the other points. Goku's stomach growled, as if a little hurt by this fact.

Gojyo had to wonder if Goku ever cared about wasting time.

But Gojyo himself wasn't worried. "You think I'd waste all that on one drink for a monk and my roommate?"

"Isn't that why we did that?"

"You don't spend that much effort on making a potent aphrodisiac for shits 'n giggles, you dumb monkey. If I wanted to see those two at it that badly, I'd need some mental help." He raked a hand through his hair, sat back against his bed. As if he was going to admit wasting his time for it, no way.

"... You're saying I need mental help."

"I'm saying I put the stuff in all our glasses."

"Oh. Okay." And that was that.

"Hmm," Gojyo rubbed his stomach and closed his eyes.

"... You did what?!"

In the other room, Sanzo and Hakkai vowed to each other to kill the monkey and kappa in the morning.

Well, that, and a few other things.
