notes for regrets i'll explain everything that people have been asking about.

1. timeline? what timeline?; with this alternate timeline, i twisted the story a little so that jisho would still be around.
   
   
2. 'bianca'; *flushes* bianca is one of my better friends who was the one who told me to write this fic. if you know me personally and decide to read more into this than is needed... you shouldn't.
   
   
3. 'tapes from yoko'; well, if there are security cameras all around the arena, there would have to be tapes from them, wouldn't there?
   
   
4. 'backstreet boys concert'; *whee* *laughs* that's MY own personal favourite boyband, though i prefer rockers and the occasional celtic tune.
   
   
5. 'people babbling'; true, don't you think? the next time you babble, wonder about why you're doing it.
   
   
6. 'heart stickers'; i don't know why i did it. i don't hate neon.
   
   
7. 'lazy bum'; *pained look* can we please not even go into this? it'll just land me into more trouble.

You know I'm Kurei's ninja. His personal assasin. If one day you should wake up, and find me gone... and dead... the hurt you'd suffer would kill you. I don't want that to happen. Not to you, not to anybody.

then i'll just have to protect you as well, wouldn't i?

'regrets' was more an impulse write than anything, but i quite like this fic, though i've had slams from friends about the pairing and the overall 'sweetness' of it.

likewise with 'change', lots of me is in this fic. what's a friend? someone who accepts you with your faults, but is strong enough to tell them to you. someone who doesn't shy away from pointing out your weaknesses. thank goodness for bianca and plhu.

why is called 'regrets'? i don't really know either, plus the title doesn't fit, as plhu says. but throughout the fic, mikagami and raiha talk about what they do and don't regret, so i guess it's okay. plus, just after the first night together, mikagami says what has to be one of my favourite lines in the fic, "Raiha. I found you. You found me. We have no regrets." perhaps it should be called 'no regrets' instead?

written for bianca in mind, partially because she told me to write one, and another part because i wanted to. i didn't have a proper plan in mind the way i usually do, i just started. and it came out quite nicely. perhaps i prefer impulse fics for some reason... 'beauty in red' was an impulse as well.

'regrets' came to some people as a shock; either they couldn't believe that i wrote such a pairing, or that i actually wrote a raihamikagami and blatantly put 'for bianca' right on top. *shrugs* i have nothing to say to that.

all i can say is, to each his own. to tell you the truth, raihamikagami is a pairing i am totally comfortable with, together with raihakurei and kureimikagami. no promises on writing any of the latter pairings though. *laughs*

to soothe the above people, i ain't gonna write a yaoi for a long time. *laughs* hey, i'm 16, just barely past age of consent, FEMALE... no way am i going to write long drawn descriptions that are one, hard to pull off artistically and two, absolutely foreign. *laughs* you guys happier with that?

i'm rambling on and on. *laughs* nothing else to say, so the notes for 'regrets' will end here. hope you liked it, and please, if you did or didn't, drop me a line. i'd be pleased to listen to criticisms, but please, make it constructive. and if you liked it, i'd prefer it if you said something like 'i like your style' rather than 'it's great' and leaving it at that. thank you so very much in advance.

the author remains on the search for her lifebond and the perfect coffee blend
