PARADISE is a porn novel

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.

[ Private to Neji // Pretty Darn Highly Unhackable, just because ]

Oh, I'm sure you remember, Neji, but just in case you're busy and happened to forget, a friendly reminder:


Your boyfriend's birthday is on Thursday.

...This upcoming Thursday. Maybe we can arrange something nice for him? A cake? Or a nicely wrapped-up present? A Hyuuga, perhaps?


In the event you two want to do something...alone...I'm sure the "children" and I can go out for a while and have a snackrifice or two and let you two celebrate like grown-ups.

You think a couple hours would be long enough, or should we arrange to spend the night elsewhere?



(( ooc: I'll be online later as usual. I just thought of this while we were making Thanksgiving Day dinner plans and, well, cannot be neglecting my favorite character or neglect a chance at teasing the boys!

*giggles!* Lee's b-day is Thanksgiving! Give him something to really be thankful for, Neji! >D ))

[[ooc: I may be overplaying my hand here with this scene.*shrugs.* Kakashi only gets one voice from the past scene from me, and he hasn’t had a journal entry in a while, so I had to make it a whopper. Regardless, for those unfamiliar with the story of Naruto and/or Kakashi-Gaiden (back-story), this may be a mess. For those familiar, I hope this achieves its desired effect and is not nearly as clumsy as it sometimes felt when writing it.]]

[The view through the video feed of the PCD is as if down a darkened corridor with a bright light at the end, Kakashi’s form obscuring part of this, and it backlights his hair in an odd silhouette. Judging by the skewed perspective on Kakashi’s hand—seen reaching toward the camera—and on his face (which is looking faintly miffed down the “corridor” at the PCD), the device has fallen behind something and Kakashi has been thus far unsuccessful in his lackluster attempts to fish it out. Considering he hasn’t been trying hard to retrieve the device, one might guess the audio memories haven’t been playing long. Kakashi sighs and rests his forehead on the wall.]

[Against the backdrop of Kakashi’s frustration is the haunting echo of a baby crying. It sounds pained and lonely, crying out for a mother or father who is not there to hold it. Such a pitiful sound, relentless, as most babies’ cries, but this one sounds especially tortured…as if the soul is facing demons within.]

( …Don’t know how much time has passed. All I know is that it feels like forever… )
