PARADISE is a porn novel

As usual, I'm late doing this. But that's beside the point. I remembered it last night and, well...now it's up ^^


how's my driving?

Comments / Criticism / Advice / etc. ... anything goes. Seriously. Just be truthful, that's all I ask (for better or worse). I'm genuinely interested in what people think of the muse and my rping in general here, and any critique will be noted and taken into serious consideration.

OOC: It looks like I'm doing a lot of "gift" posts this month...

For Valentines
All gifts to arrive on Valentine's Day morning.


Yachiru gets a whole slew of sweets, as is typical for any holiday, including a box of conversation hearts. She also gets a valentine like the kind kids give each other in elementary school.

Kakashi's students (all three of them), his sensei, as well as Neji, Lee, and Kenpachi, get conversation hearts of the not-so-tame variety. Just for giggles. They also get a silly, kiddie valentine (because if you get a box, you usually get about 25...might as well put them to use!)

Kakashi wasn't going to get him anything, but since Obito got Kakashi something, he's got to return the favor. Obito gets a teddy....a Vermont Teddy Bear, perverts. Kakashi just, uh, happened to have it lying around in a drawer somewhere. Alright, maybe he saw it in a store display and it said 'take me home with you!' He couldn't resist. Again, silly kiddie valentine accompanies the gift. No conversation hearts, though. The bear is enough.

Itachi gets nothing. He's just special like that and oh-so-loved. Actually considered a rose with many thorns, or some such for some sort of irony's sake, but it really wasn't that clever, and was a tad too...silly, so Kakashi and I passed on it.

[ Part of this was a message sent to Naruto-mun about Naruto's present. The other part is just junk about Kakashi reacting to giving the gift. It's not a log because of the way the gift was given, but Kakashi wouldn't actually TELL anyone about all this, so it can't be a journal entry...and I had to store it somewhere. ]


Naruto's place the morning of the 11th

There is a knock at the window to Naruto's room, but no one is there when anyone comes to inspect it. Instead, there is a slim package wrapped in brown paper sitting on the window ledge--INSIDE Naruto's room. The package has Naruto's name on the front in a black sharpie marker.

Inside the wrapping is a framed photograph and two post-it notes. The frame is simple, unfinished wood--the kind one might buy to decorate from a craft store. The post-its are basic yellow and written on in a blue-ballpoint ink. The writing isn't neat, but is legible.

"Found this photo laying around in my book. Apparently I was using it as a bookmark. Thought you might like it."

"I know it's not much.
Happy Birthday, Naruto.
-Kakashi-sensei"

The worn-out photo is of the future Yondaime (Namikaze Minato) and his student Hatake Kakashi. Kakashi still has both his original eyes. He looks...baffled at the gesture of affection shown by his sensei--a simple ruffle of his hair.

The Gift itself.


Kakashi goes home and worries over whether his choice of present is the right one for Naruto. Hopefully it is full of more happiness than sad, but he can't be sure anymore. Naruto's parents are a sensitive issue for the kid and again, Kakashi wonders if it was the right idea. It seemed right at the time, but he is never sure of his judgment on emotional things. He also wonders if he was really ready to part with the picture...

But, well, what's done is done. Seems he needs to look for a new bookmark...
