SHAARA NITEAH'S POV

Rahn and I sat in the forest in silence. The darkness enshrouded us as I rested my head on his chest. Intently, I listened to my older twin’s heartbeat, wishing it would gently lull me to slumber. Around us, the forest whispered silently, grass rustling gently as the moon smiled down upon us. Sleeping outside was no rare occurrence for us. We were two young wanderers - bounty hunters.

"Hey, Shaara..." Rahn murmured as he reached up a strong hand and stroked my raven hair. "Do you believe in destiny?" He purred, his voice deep and dark.

I sat silently for a moment, trying to figure out whether or not I believed. It was the same question Rahn asked me every night. I don’t know why he did it – maybe he needed reassurance that I hadn’t lost hope.

"I guess so." I whispered, hoarsely.

"Hm."

I raised my head and gazed at Rahn under the silver light. His handsome pale face always seemed so serene, so calm. I smiled as I noticed the fur on Rahn’s cat-like ears shifting softly in the cool summer breeze, and wondered whether my own were doing the same. My brother’s crimson eyes connected with my own brown eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Rahn was sitting upright. He swiftly wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"Destiny has been cruel to us.” He whispered into my ear, sending shivers up my spine. “It took away our parents and our tribesmen. But it will not take us away from each other."

I nodded and blushed lightly as I felt my black neko ears lowering slightly – I had no control over them. Rahn was right - life had treated us cruelly. The Niteah, our tribe, had once been a widespread nomadic people, but now, after a century of bloodshed, we were the only two left of the tribe – two twin brothers. The Niteah were famous for our cat-like physique - our ears and tail - and our agility had made us exceptional hunters.

Rahn and I had used this to our advantage and taken up a life of bounty-hunting to survive. We were often the subject of whispering wherever we went. People knew who we were.

“We will stick together.” My brother promised me.

"I hope so, Rahn."

Rahn gazed at me for a few moments, his claret eyes glittering. A strong hand ruffled my black hair, causing me to blush.

“You’re pretty, Shaara.” He told me. “If anyone ever marks your face, I will hunt them down and destroy them.”

I smiled at my red-headed brother and slowly leaned over, planting a soft kiss on his forehead.

“I love you, Rahn.”

The redhead lay back down, but I stayed sitting on top of him. Instead, I let my gaze wander to the moon above us. If I ever lost Rahn, I would be alone. I had no friends and he was my only family. Our lifestyle meant we had to constantly keep moving, and at a young fourteen years old, I’d never had the chance to settle and make friends. I sighed and lowered myself, so I was lying on top of Rahn. He was all I had. He was nine years my senior, and had always felt like he was my guardian, which he practically was. I had always felt like a bit of a burden to him, but he had always remained close to me.

I closed my eyes as Rahn ran his fingers through my hair. I listened as his breathing quietened and turned to gentle snores.

“We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow.” I whispered.

I really miss you.

You've been in my head since the last time I saw you, the last time I hugged you. The weekend has been fun but it's dragged past without you. You've become something special in my life, and I'm beginning to feel lost when you're not with me. You're so special to me, and I've always wanted to tell you that since our paths crosed. You have always been so close, yet just out of reach. To be honest with you, I fell for you the first instant I saw your smile. You are the most beautiful being who has ever walked this earth's mortal soil, regardless of what you may think.

I'm so happy that Barack Obama was voted into office this morning.
I've been following the election campaigns for about eight months now (through my myspace friends who're american), and I was so excited last night about the ballot. I can't believe we've finally got someone who's heart is in the right place. And on Prop 8, Senator Obama said he would try to keep marriage between a man and woman from this day forward - that doesn't mean he's going to force gay-married couples to divorce? Anyway, I don't see why gay couples can't just get civil partnerships - they're much the same as marriage, except without all the extravagance, but you can set all that up yourself anyway.

Progress is coming - change has come!

The reason I'm so happy about this is because it's going to have a direct effect on us, here in the UK. Gordon Brown said he knew who he would vote for, but didn't say. We no longer have a Prime Minister who kisses the US's ass, and the US no longer have an imbecile for a President. Maybe progress will come. I know that progress is being made in Iraq, but I think with two people like Brown and Obama, maybe things will go at a faster rate.

And as for the Iran situation, I think Obama is right in trying to have talks with the country first - you can't just exile them without warning.

Perhaps the main thing that scared me with McCain was the fact he was trying to exile Russia. Now, what happened the last time we cut Russia out of the Powers-of-the-World group? That's right. World War II. And while it was not the cause of the war, it lost us a valuable ally. And not just that, but McCain is 72 years old - if anything happens to him, guess who the world gets? Sarah Palin. Sarah fucking Palin. A woman who thinks the world has only existed for 5000 years. A woman who was going to make it illegal for rape victims to have abortions. A woman who was going to increase the amount of guns available to the american youth.

Than god we don't have her.
History was made today - it was either going to the first black president, or the first female vice-president.
Thankfully, we got the first option.


Anyway, I'll leave my political ramblings there. Funny thing is though, I've never been one for politics - they always bored the shit out of me. I guess now, I realise I'll be 18 in January, and eligible to vote. Just as the US has brought change for their country, I want to bring change for my country - Scotland. SNP all the way.


On a darker note, last night something quite spooky happened. I was sitting downstairs on my laptop, when suddenly the lights started flickering on and off, and then our house alarm went off, and noises started coming from the kitchen. Now, our backdoor is always locked, and I hadn't heard any noises beforehand. Our house alarm never goes off unless someone tries to break in, but I didn't hear anything until the lights started flashing. Well, I fucking shit myself and bolted upstairs, waking my mum up. She told me to go and punch in the alarm code, which I did. Noises were still coming from the kitchen, but less frequently, so fuck that - I was for staying upstairs. I locked the living room door and went up to the toilet (toilet looks down onto the hall). Now, weird thing happened here. I had my bedroom light on, and just as I was leaving the toilet, the hall and toilet lights began to flash, and my laptop died. But my room light was fine. So yeah, I fucking shit myself again and slid in beside my mum for the night, still hearing noises downstairs. I was awake until like 3am, too scared to sleep.

What the actual fuck?

Problem with me is, see, I'm a believer in th paranormal. Not so much ghosts and shit, but UFOs and EBES (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities). Whenever something like that happens, I get terrified. I had a little experience in my old house on Sept 11 1999, and since then, there's certain things I'll get so scared of. It's strange. I don't like it one bit.

Anyway, it's Guy Fawkes tonight, and apparently Killie's firework display is gonna be the biggest in the west of Scotland. That's right - the biggest. Bigger than Glasgow's apparently. While I personally think this is bullshit, I'm gonna take a nosey over to the Kay Park with my camera and see what I can get ^_^

I'm going to Glasgow today with my dad - hopefully gonna pick up my Japanese manga drawing gear (paper, ink, nips for my old school G pens, etc). Yay! And I also have to pick up Doody the cat <33 I've missed him so much the past few nights. When I get him back, I'm gonna squeezee himmmm *hugs imaginary Doody*

Aw well, hope you had fun reading today's ramblings.
I'm not insane - I swear! haha
Miku x

My Cissnei cosplay is officially COMPLETE!

I'm starting work on my rushed Ryuuzaki cosplay now, after falling in love with him and Light after watching Deathnote 2: The Last Name and being in utter HYSTERICS at the end of it :(

I've ordered my very own Death Note, and I'm getting my wig and outfit sorted out as well. I took the 'L' off of my Deathnote keyring, and I'm now wearing it as a necklace. It's like my personal touch on my cosplay x3

How sad is Deathnote 2? :( I was crying so hard at the end of it, when L dies and you see the little bar of chocolate falling out of his hands. Omg :( And I felt really bad for Light as well,but seriously fuck him, he wanted to kill L! Arghhh! I also felt kinda sorry for Misa as well :(

It was a complete sobfest!

On a brighter note, you know how Light's name is Light Yamagi?
Well, if you take Yagami and shove it back to front, its spells;

Light Imagay.


I'm A Gay

LMFAO
I rofled xDD

So yahhh =]
