A sword in hand does not a reaper make-
just as a lesson learned will not guard from ways of fate.
Forbidden love,
forgotten love,
as red and brilliant orange fight for spikes of black:
Kuchiki Rukia:
how long has it been since you plunged your sword into my heart
I took your power,
nearly took your life,
and you stole my heart in return?
A metal plate was bound across my brow,
I carved the fatal scratch across your own.
The spiral and the triangle
Forgotten emblems of your past:
Uchiha Sasuke:
How long has it been since you took Orochimaru’s bait
And left us for power,
Nearly taking my life,
And breaking a blossom’s heart as well?
The curse of the Jyuunishi is cast forever overhead-
But the clouds broke through when you smiled.
The twelve creatures of the Zodiac
Doomed to misery forever:
Honda Tohru:
How long has it been since you discovered our secret
Opened the lid
That nearly took my life,
And captured my heart with your innocent ways?
We were lost in the darkness
Until you touched us with your light.
It has died, it has dimmed, it is fading away-
And we owe you a debt too deep to be paid.
So here is our trade:
Life for life,
Love for love,
And time immemorial to dwell on the depths of what you’ve done.
Author notes
Um, Megu-chan? Aya kinda cheated.
Aya: Did NOT! You're the one who WROTE THIS!!
Chibi: I'm sorry, I love Naruto, Bleach, and Fruits Basket, so I combined all three. They're all really similar (at least to me, I guess). I LOVE this contest, by the way. It's so COOL, all the themes you find in manga! I'm still trying to incorporate themes into my own manga, and it's nowhere NEAR as cool as these big shots! Well done!
May the youthful force be with you, and the Jedi Knights of the Order of the Spamelot Table never fail to aid you in your quest for the Holy Ramen Bowl! YOSH!

Wow! I love how you put the three manga together! And the way you wrote everything, and made them sound so similar to each other, was just fantastic! Good luck in the contest!

..O.o Ok Aya, that's fine.

NIcely done.
I like how you combined three manga with one common theme. Nice.
