Neko's Request Thread: Midnight's Request

Neko · Last edited by Neko on Fri Dec 02, 2005 4:42 pm; edited 21 times in total

All right, NEW RULES and NEW GUIDELINES for you people to follow. I'm *only* reopening my request thread to set an example of what these things should look like all right?

1. Okay, I will only write one request a day, understand?
2. It HAS to be a one shot.
3. No lemon/lime or citrus. I'll only write up to R.
4. I'm lenient, but please, to make this easier for me, don't request anything too difficult. Give some kind of plot idea, it makes it so much easier for me.
5. No flaming what I've wrote, if you don't like it then it's your fault for not specifying what you wanted. If it sucks because of grammer error or just bad writing then you can tell me. NEVER say, "This sucks, I wanted...." Because I'll laugh and say, tough luck and never take a request from you again.
6. No requesting charachter deaths. Sorry, I just can't bring myself to kill a character unless it means something to the story. But just saying "Kill so and so" I won't do.
7. If I just wrote a request for you, I won't write you another one as soon as I post it. One request per week per member, do I make myself clear?
8. I have the right to reject any requests I feel uncomfortable with doing or that I just don't want to do.
9. And finally, be nice okay? I opening this again for some people, but if I say I don't want to do it, or it will take awhile then go with it. I want no arguing and no flames.
10. NEW RULE: .... Please, I've asked this before, don't use the honorifics -sama or -dono after my name. I'm not a -sama or -dono, I'm quite flattered when -sempai is used :3 but nothing above that please.

>.> All right, request thread is reopen.

Okay >_> <-< I'll do a small request, though isn't really for me. I'd like to request for all the Laika fangirls, a drabble about Laika and his dog as a little child before he joined the Sharo army. :3

Awesome /o/

I wonder if you can try your hand at writing out a slightly lesser character? Say, Iriya? And how he and Laika became friends/(rivals? Fencing buddies? WTfmates? <<) before they joined the military. Having read your characterization of Yui, I'm sure you'll do fine on it. XD

An eight year old Laika pressed his face against the freezing glass of his bedroom window. His breath came out in small short puffs and it crystallized on the window in small random patterns. “Where is he?” Laika asked himself.

There was a small knock at his door and he turned around to see his mother smiling warmly at him. “Your father might not be home for awhile now,” she said softly.

“But…” Laika said looking at his mom with big eyes, “he promised.”

His mom crossed the room and gathered her son into her arms and gave him a sad smile when he didn’t protest. “I know your father promised. He promises…” she paused, “a lot of things. But, he’s…”

“A busy man with a lot of responsibility,” Laika sighed, repeating the end of his mother’s speech with a tone of voice that suggested he had heard something exactly like it many times before.

She ruffled his hair gently and gave him a small hug. “I know you’re disappointed sweetie, but there are a lot things going on right now.”

“But, it’s my birthday,” Laika said. “Why… how did he forget something like that? He promised!” Laika protested more violently.

His mom gathered him into her arms in an even tighter embrace. “I don’t know sweetie. If I knew what your father was thinking I think I’d be a much happier woman.”

“Mom?” Laika asked.

“Nothing sweetie, I’m sure your father will be home soon. If not today then possibly by this weekend.”

“All right,” Laika said and pushed himself out of his mom’s arms.

“You probably should go to bed, sweetie,” his mom told him.

“I will,” Laika said. “Soon, I promise.”

His mom nodded, “All right, I’m holding you to that promise,” she said seriously.

Laika grinned and saluted her, “Yes, ma’am!”

She grinned and saluted back, “Dismissed, solider!”

Laika nodded in all seriousness and left his room to get ready for bed. “He’s just like his father,” she murmured as she left his room.

There was a knock on the door as she walked into the living room of their small house. She walked over and opened it to see a man with dark green hair and smiling blues eyes gaze down at her. “Am I too late?” he asked.

“Oh, dear!” she cried out happily and ran out into the snow to embrace her husband. “You made it.”

“Of course I did,” he said.

She placed her hands on his chest and felt a small bulge in his jacket wiggle. “What on earth?”

He winked at her, “Shhh, don’t spoil the surprise.”

She put a hand to her lips in an effort not to laugh out loud. “Oh you…” she said.

He held his hand out to her and she took it. “Shall we go inside, milady?” he asked in a goofy voice.

“Yes, my sweet prince,” she returned in a similar voice.

When they got inside, the tall man walked through the house while his wife shut the door. “Hey sport! Come out here!” he yelled.

Laika gazed at his reflection in the bathroom mirror with his toothbrush still in his mouth. “Dad?” he mumbled.

“Hey, Laika!” he heard again.

Laika quickly spit the toothpaste into the sink and hurriedly rinsed of his toothbrush. Then he ran out into the living room and stopped short to gaze at the tall, frost covered man in the middle of his house. “DAD!” Laika yelled out.

“Hey,” his dad grinned and pulled Laika into a bone chilling hug which Laika was more then happy to return.

“You made it!” Laika breathed.

“Of course I made it,” he said. “I wouldn’t miss my son’s birthday for the world.”

Laika grinned and gave his dad another hug.

“I’ll get the cake,” his mom said and she went into the kitchen to prepare the small party.

“I got you something,” his dad said with a wink.

“What?” Laika asked excitedly.

“Close your eyes,” his dad said.

“Aww, but dad,” Laika protested. “I’m not a kid anymore.”

“No, that’s very true. But surprises are for everyone,” his dad said. “Now, close your eyes.”

Laika sighed and did as he was told.

“Hold out your hands,” his dad instructed.

Laika held out his hands and felt a small furry something get placed in his arms. It wriggled and Laika shifted his grip to make sure whatever it was didn’t fall. Then he opened his eyes to see a small, black and white puppy look up at him with soulful black eyes.

A wide grin slowly spread over Laika’s face. “Like him?” his dad asked.

“Yes…” Laika said. He set the bemused puppy on the floor gently and gave his dad a big hug, “Thank you so much dad.”

His dad chuckled and returned the hug. Then he cleared his throat and Laika stood straight. “Now, a dog is a big responsibility, son,” his dad said in a clear commanding tone.

“Yes, sir!” Laika said.

“Are you sure you’ll take care of him?”

“Yes, sir!” Laika answered.

“Do you have the responsibility?” he asked.

“Yes, sir!” Laika said truthfully.

“Then he’s all yours. Take good care of him!” his dad saluted him.

“Yes, sir!” Laika saluted back.

The dog gave a yip in agreement and his dad laughed, “Ah smart dog. So what are you going to name him?”

Laika picked up the puppy as they made their way to the kitchen, “I think… Moltagu is a good name.”

His dad patted him on the shoulder. “You know what?” he asked.

“What?”

“I think you’re right,” he said with a warm smile.

Laika smiled back and together they went into the kitchen to celebrate his eighth birthday as a family.

Here's my request for the day~ Here you go, planty.

That was really lovely. You made Laika so cute XD And I did love the characterization of his parents you gave him. I'm glad you presented his father as a warmer person, people seems to think if the character is 'cool' they must have bastards for parents always.

Really lovely and I'm sure the Laika fangirls/boys will love it XD

Aww! So cute!

I'm glad that you decided to open the request thread again. I like how you have Laika retain some of his serious demeanor, and yet have the innocence that comes with being eight years old. Good work.

And now, for my request.

As per minor characters, and how they are not focused on much, I'd like it if you based a fic on Nanako and her relationship with Higsby. The setting--how about....Nanako's first day in the chip shop? If you decide to make it a more romantic pairing I have no qualms with that.

The rest I leave to you.

Oh. I apologize then. I formally retract my request then. Sorry about burdening you like this. Sad

OK...as you have given me the consent, I instead revise my request. The character of focus this time is Shuko--very much like Nanako in fact. Situation--hmm. I don't know. That's up to you. I just would like to see a decent fic that delves further into her persona.

If this request is too generic, feel free to bite my head off.

Hmm... lesse.

If possible, I'd like a Shun/Shuuko fic.

Don't particularily care about the plot, but I'd like it to have something about how Shun's developed since the Gospel incident in EXE 2.

=o

I have a request, Neko!

One sided Crack Pairing: Forte x Netto!

OMGZ IT'S LIEK TEH CRACK PAIRING LOLZ

Premise: Forte is jealous of Rockman, but why? Does it have to do with his operator?

Bah. I wanted to see who is brave enough to try this.

You're the lucky author who could try. Good luck~

XD

Chibi Laika is uber kawaii! Fluff, yaoi, & angst are what make the world go 'round~! :D

Ano sa...would it be possible for you to do another Blues/Netto; I have a few scenarios:

Netto is upset that no one will go to the amusement park with him; Blues offers to take him (I got that idea from Trouble with Insolent Nekos ^_^ ).
Netto & Blues get locked in a dimensional area together by a bad guy plot or mischievious friends playing matchmaker (for some reason, I keep seeing Enzan & Yaito, as a couple, doing this; I'm not really sure why -_-; ).

If you can't or don't feel like doing it, that's fine; it's still an odd pairing. I was just hoping for a little Blues/Netto to brighten the net.

If you're not too busy, please consider this.

A Shuuko and Tohru pairing.

Reasons:

Not common.

Very fitting, both being Water Element Navi users.

IceMan has met Aquaman before. I'd say they'll want to do it again.

Hmm...

A meeting at a fountain, or Beach Street, and following a Cafe, with Tohru becoming steadily more... What's the word? Embarrassed? That'll do, and with Shuuko feeling less downcast.

I understand if you do not want to do this, as you have many more fics to tend to. I humbly request you do this when you're free, or have done everyone's request.

Cheers,
Fan

Neko-sama, may I make a request? If it's not too much trouble, could you do a MaddyxMr.Match one-shot? If you can find the time to do my request, then I will greatly appreciate it. :] If not, then thanks anyway. Smile

*is still hoping for the fluff*

Woah. That was great. Laika's parents are very similar to what I had always imagined. I alaways assumed he got his cold personality when his parents died/were killed. An excellent job Neko. And I highly agree with Haly. You should write a Madoi/Hino fluff. It would be excellemt.

Iriya walked into the fencing room with his head held high. He was easily the best fencer there and everyone knew it, which was why he got away with strutting around like a proud peacock whenever he came into the room. Only this time not all eyes were turned on him. There seemed to be a small disturbance in the center of the room because everyone was massed around one match that Iriya couldn’t see.

“What’s going on?” he asked a younger man whom he knew looked up to him.

The man turned his youthful face on Iriya, “Ah! Iriya-sempai! A new person came in today, he’s a solider like you and he’s beaten almost everyone here, isn’t that amazing?”

Iriya stroked his chin, “It certainly is. What’s his name, do you know?”

“No, he just came in here, his mask already on, demanding for an opponent.”

“Is he good?” Iriya asked, while trying to see what was going on.

“Oh very. He has beaten everyone in this room in under a minute. He’s almost like you in a way.”

Iriya stood on tip toe to see a boy with a slight build dance across the area and finally manage to pin his opponent in the chest. “He can’t be any older then 16,” Iriya said quietly while guessing his targets height.

“Any one else?” a saucy yet youthful voice demanded. The way his voice sounded only furthered to deepen Iriya’s suspicions.

“I will!” Iriya announced loudly.

The excited chatter that was floating around the area suddenly ceased and all eyes turned on Iriya. The boy noted the sudden cease in conversation and Iriya could feel him grin. “I take it you’re the star pupil?” he asked.

“I wouldn’t say that,” Iriya said. “But why don’t you see for your self?”

The boy slung his sword over his shoulder, “All right,” he said.

“First, if I win you have to tell me who you are and take off your helmet,” Iriya said.

“And if you loose?” he demanded.

“I won’t loose,” Iriya said with a grin.

The boy sunk into a battle position, “All right then, back up your words.”

Iriya handed his sword to his protégé and put on the helmet that he had tucked under his arm. “Be careful, Iriya-sempai, he’s really strong,” he told him as he handed Iriya back his sword.

“I know, and don’t worry Ethan, I’ll be careful,” Iriya said while taking up his sword.

Ethan nodded and melted into the ring of people that has surrounded the two of them. “Ready?” the boy asked.

“I’m ready when the match is started,” Iriya said calmly.

A small bell in the back ground gave off a small pinging sound and the boy lunged forward in an excellent effort to force Iriya into a defensive position. Iriya brought up his sword and let the boy’s sword slide across it past him. Then he pulled away and aimed for the boy’s arm.

The boy was too quick and took a subtle side step to position him for another attack which was parried as well. Obviously close contact was not the strategy to be used. The boy stepped back and thrust his sword forward and Iriya parried that was well. Then they started to go into several quick thrust and parry turns desperately trying to find an opening in one another’s battle strategy.

Iriya thought he saw an opening for a split second, but obviously, so did his opponent. He half turned his body and blocked the rather vicious thrust at his torso. Then he slid his own sword up the metal of Iriya’s sword while knocking it out of the way. The metal on metal sound rang through the deathly silent room.

Iriya pushed hard on his sword in an effort to keep the boy’s sword from getting any closer to him. He managed to waver the boy a little bit and he took the momentary weakness to pull back and get into a defensive position which he immediately cursed himself for. This was exactly what the boy had been trying to get him to do the whole time.

The boy immediately gave a vicious onslaught of thrusts trying to break his defense. Iriya barely managed to hang onto his sword while that was going on. But in the boy’s need to defeat Iriya increased a small opening made it’s self visible. Iriya tried one trick he knew may or may not work but he figured if he kept on the defensive the way he was he would loose anyway. He pushed on the sword, hoping against hope that the boy was weaker then him. His little gamble proved to be true and he stumbled just a little on the extra weight placed on the sword. Iriya scoped out the opening and thrust his own sword into the boy’s torso.

There was a small spatter of applause in the ring and the boy slowly lowered his sword. “You’re very good,” he said, slightly out of breath.

Iriya took off his helmet and grinned. “You’re definitely better then me,” he admitted.

There was a small gasp that issued from the crowd. “However, technique isn’t everything, solider, you’re better off getting a little stronger before taking on an opponent twice your size in a sword battle.”

The boy let out a small laugh. “How did you guess?”

“Your technique is the same as the fence master that lives on base. I take it you’re his student?” he asked.

The boy nodded, “I am, and apparently so are you.”

“That I am. Now, we had a little deal,” he reminded him.

The boy set his sword on the ground and pulled off his helmet to reveal pale, mint colored hair and cold eyes. “Laika,” he said, “That’s my name.”

Iriya’s eyes widened, he was even younger then he originally thought. “How old are you?” he asked.

“That wasn’t part of the deal,” Laika said while giving him a cold grin. “I’ll be around here again,” he said while scooping up his sword in a fluid motion. “I look forward to fighting you again,” he said as he walked out of the room.

“It’s just a kid!” one guy exclaimed.

“He’s going to be quite the solider when he grows up,” Iriya murmured to himself. “This will be interesting to watch.”

“Laika-sama?” Searchman asked.

“Yes?”

“Dare I ask if you lost on purpose?” Searchman asked.

“I didn’t, that man was truly strong. Very skilled, if not a bit…” Laika frowned slightly, “unorthodox in his technique.”

“Laika-sama?”

“Yes?”

“Did you have fun?”

Laika let his lips quirk a little, “Yes, I think I did.”

~~~~~~~~~~

And I know NOTHING about fencing! So those of you who do, don't yell at me okay?

Here ya go, Nazne :3
