Author's Note I do not own any of the characters nor the anime Fairytail. Same with the anime and characters from One Piece. All rights go to their respectful owners. Chapter 1 Life is Full of Chaotic Unfairness Dying was painful. Living was agonizing. Being reborn was unexpected. Now I must do what I do best. Adapt and survive. Adapt to the life of luxury and survive the life of neglect and loneliness. I sit down in the big library within the large mansion reading one of the stories I know will be important for later. My keys are in a pouch on my hip, as I let my feet dangle for a bit. It's quiet save for my humming. Oh yeah, I am supposed to introduce myself, right? Well, my name is Lucy Heartfilia. My mother died recently and now the bastard has locked himself in his work-study I stopped humming and sighed as I finish yet another book. "It's quiet." My voice is small but annoyed. I hate the quiet. It makes me all the more impatient in joining Fairy Tail. I get up off the chair and I sit in a crisscrossed manner channeling my magic energy. I need to have larger reserves than the original Lucy did. Don't get me wrong, she is strong, but I need to be stronger. I hear the sounds of feet clicking on the marble floors and open my eyes after stopping my concentration. I turn my head as I hear the doors open. "Lucy-sama, I have been tasked with getting you ready for dinner." I not my head standing up allowing her to lead me away to get dressed. Ah yes, dinner time. A time when one is supposed to share a meal with their family. But the jackass, nope, he will eat in his study. Either that, or he will scrutinize me for trying to converse. How Lucy was able to communicate with others afterward is a mystery to me. I stood in front of the full-body mirror as the maids dressed me up in "dinner attire: before moving on to makeup. I made a face at the make up refusing it as another put on my shoes. I hate this. It's boring. It's laziness. It's making me dependent on them. On him. I hate him. "Your father has instructed us to get you fully dressed for the guests he was over," the maid who was trying desperately to do my makeup mentioned. I raised a brow at this. 'Another marriage proposal?' I rolled my eyes at the notion but let her do my makeup. Nobles. Spoiled rotten greedy nobles. It felt like I stood there for ages waiting for the poor maids to get me dressed and ready for whatever it was the bastard has in store for me. I noted the horrible curls they had set my blonde locks into and I had to stop myself from making a face at them. The maids are not at fault for the shitty bastard's negligence. Still, I do not like the curls....At all. That having been said, as soon as the maids stepped out, I had pulled out one of my keys saying, "Open gate of the giant crab: Cancer!" A golden magic circle appeared below me as I summoned the only one who could possibly make the abomination of a hairstyle better. As soon as Cancer had been summoned, he took one look and immediately began fixing my hair the way he knew would benefit both me and the horrid dress. I mean, why does it have to be pink. Don't get me wrong, the color is gorgeous, it's just not me. Ugh! I prefer blue thank you very much. Hell, even marimo green would be better than this shade of pink. As he worked miracles on my hair, I asked him if he could, later on, teach me how to tie my shoes or how to dress without the help of the maids. He paused in his movements, but only for a full second before saying, "Of course, ebi." I breathed a sigh of relief thanking him as he finished putting the final touches on my hair before he returned to the spirit world. I mentally prepared myself for the worst dinner in the history of dinners knowing I was going to bring hell to any noble that even thought of marrying me off with their hellspawn. At least that was the plan. When I reached the hall before the dining room, I heard laugher I had never thought I would hear in such a place. Upon being introduced by the maid, I entered the dining room where the dumbass sat wearing what appeared to be a military marine outfit. Across from him, an older man sat wearing a similar outfit, his name and appearance causing me to question everything. Monkey D. Garp, a vice-admiral of the marines, from an entirely different franchise, entirely different world, is sitting across from my father who wears the outfit of a captain. What the actual fuck. And that is not all, he is not alone. A certain famous swordsman is sitting nearby sipping on some red wine. Another look ensures that there are several lower-ranking marines in the room as well. My eyes meet golden and I find myself abruptly pulled out of my nervousness and picking my chin up; despite my internal storm, I calmly walk to my seat and I do what I do best. I adapt and survive. Adapt by quietly playing along being the obedient little girl the asshat was claiming me to be, and survive by keeping a trained ear on all conversations going on. Gathering intel and planning my next moves years in advance all while being watched like a hawk by the swordsman whose name is well earned. But why is Hawkeye Mihawk here of all places? As dinner continues, it seems his patience is running low. He is here for a reason that much is obvious. "Jude Heartfilia," ah, he speaks finally. "I do believe there was an aforementioned arrangement we discussed." "Ah yes, ofcourse," he gave me a side grimace that said, 'I do not appreciate the glare' before clearing his throat. You are no Heartfilia. You married into the name. Do NOT give me that look. He ignored my full-on glare which had silenced the whole room, speaking authoritatively, "Lucy, you are dismissed." Closing my eyes, I obediently did as he said without further incident. Upon leaving the room, chatter starts up immediately and I head for my only sanctuary. Upon passing the archives, I let a tear fall knowing it would ruin my makeup. Why? What did I do to deserve this? The bastard is a marine. The marines have an alliance with the mages of Fiore. Is there no escape for me? Fairy Tail is no longer an option. They would never allow me to join, not with this alliance. Upon entering my room, I lock the door and collapse to the ground. Sobbing, I pull out a silver key and I manage to say between hiccups, "Open gate of the Lyre key, Lyra." Upon being summoned, her happy personality that always made me smile no matter the situation bubbled down as she noted my teary mascara-smeared face. She pulled me into her dress and began using her magic. Her hums soon turned into a song as it soothed my aching heart and lulled me to sleep. Somehow in my lulled mind, I could feel eyes belonging to a hawk standing behind the locked door.

(@waifulinalu as Kento Nanami from Jujutsu Kaisen) Read below to get to know the cosplayer! Animeforwomen:💜What inspired you to start cosplaying? @waifulinalu: "I’ve always loved theatre and being apart of a production along with all things anime, gaming, cartoons, comics, etc! Cosplay is the love child between them all! I pull from my experience as a stage assistant to help me plan and film my cosplays. Then I pull from what I’ve learned as an ensemble member when it comes to executing my ideas. Creative directing is an organic hobby for me lol! I’ll be in the middle of watching a show, eating, or doing whatever and will grab my phone or notebook to start jotting down what I’m envisioning. It’s super stimulating to both imagine and create!" 💜 💜What is your favorite cosplay? "My favorite cosplay I’ve done is [one] of my hubbies, Nanami Kento!! I even wore it to work and filmed the content when I got home. And yes…I did work overtime! Both at work and when filming [I was up from 6:30am-1:30am lol]." 💜 💜Do you have a cosplay that was very challenging for you? If so what did you do to overcome the challenge? "I've definitely dealt with quite a few hurdles cosplaying. I ordered my Makio dress and it was way too small! But I wanted to push through so I literally ripped the right side of my dress and kept it closed with a safety pin. I had to be mindful when recording to hide the ripped side and the safety pin kept falling off. Still had tons of fun though! I also need to work on my time management skills. I try to plan my filming ahead of time to balance with my schedule but I often get the urge to create and just do it! It’s all fun and games until I’m putting stuff away and taking my makeup off at 3am with work the next day! I do not recommend! Somehow I still wake up early so that’s my little superpower. I also feel like every cosplayer at one point or another struggled with financing their projects. The beauty behind it is that you get to really focus on the creativity and rawness of the character!"

Singer and songwriter @jasylva created a song called Nimbus. It captured our hearts and we think it'll do the same for you! Here's where you can listen to Nimbus but read on to learn more about @jasylva and why she created the song. ----- Animeforwomen:What inspired you to create Nimbus? @jasylva: "I wrote Nimbus about someone I never thought I’d meet again. I’m always apprehensive to change, but the uncertainties of life are inevitable. I began to feel weightless yet grounded the more I was around this person. I couldn’t wrap my mind around it. The mix of emotions I felt in finding someone who brought me out of my comfort zone developed into an experience that’s impacted my life forever." 💜 AFW: Do you have a favorite anime song(opening or ending)? @jasylva: "My favorite anime song is “You Say Run” from My Hero Academia. The intro makes my heart pitter-pat and when the climax plays, I feel a similar sense of power that I feel when making music." 💜 AFW: What is your favorite anime of all time? @jasylva: "My favorite anime of all time is Lovely Complex." 💜 Follow her for more @jasylva 💜

Author’s Note I just hope this is good, it is driving me insane and I had to write it. I have a beta but they didn't beta this one, I just needed to get this off my chest so to speak. If you see errors, just know I am not perfect. Chapter 1 So to say today has sucked would be an overstatement. Naruto was tired, and his classes today were rough. He was in the middle of getting his Masters, all while working full time; getting ready to take over his family's business was a pain. Granted, Naruto lived in a big city, and Konaha was huge. But, keeping his name out of the papers was what was necessary. Now Icha Icha was a famous club that followed all Hokage guidelines. Naruto still didn't want to be associated with it. He didn't want anyone to know where he worked. The man had been on the Dean's list multiple times. He was getting his Masters. Walking in the back door of the building was always a pain. He was sneaking around, making sure reporters didn't follow him. You know, the usual. He stepped into the dark back hallway connected to the door where he donned his mask. All employees were given masks of their choice in one way or another to keep their personal lives separate from their home life. It was a fair trade. You wanted to fuck for a living, strip, and still go to the store you could. His Uncle Jiraiya thought it would be a good idea when he opened the bar/brothel 20 odd years ago. These elaborate masquerade masks were covered in sequins and rhinestones—all set to match their persona while on stage or behind closed doors. The mask could be just over the eyes, over the mouth, full face, or an entire headpiece. Most wore ones that were just over the eyes. Naruto decided on a full headpiece. He wanted to be non-existent in the building. He was there to pay people, write schedules, and ensure his employees were safe. A few times, he danced, but now with some tattoos, it was too much of a hassle. Today he was wearing his tailored suit. Black with a vest to match, the chain of his pocket watch shined in the neon lights. The orange tie stood in contrast to the white collared shirt. His mask was a full headpiece. It was that of an Inari god, with black silk that looked like hair that went over his golden locks. The only thing you could see was his cobalt eyes that stood in dark contrast to his white mask. As he walked through the dressing room, there were a few without masks, ones who only wore them on stage. Some didn't care at all. The first to look up from their station was a beauty, in Naruto's opinion.His beautiful long brown hair was in a tight bun with his forelocks wrapped in bands of blue. The pink kimono with black swirls and brown obi matched his eyes. Haku always wore a mask as he roamed the floor. He enjoyed the lifestyle, wanted the money, and enjoyed his coworkers, but most of all, he loved his boss. "Hey, Inari." Haku said as he approached. Mask in hand, getting ready to head out to the floor. "Good evening Haku, How can I assist you this evening?" Naruto's voice was a deep whisper sending obvious chills down Hakus spine as the goose flesh-covered skin became apparent. A smile of wicked intent graced his porcelain face; his eyes showed joy and mischief. "About to do my rounds, being it is Tuesday, maybe if it's slow, we could sneak off and play again?? Naruto lifted Hakus face to his and leaned in so that only he could hear the words he had to say. "Not tonight, kitten; I have to work today. But make me proud; you are my favorite." Laughing to himself as he walked away, knowing that the whimper he could hear was louder than what Haku would have preferred. Tuesdays were always slow, and he was already aware when he came it. But little did he know there was a frat party for someone's birthday today, and all hell was going to break loose. By the time 10 PM rolled around, the place that was at a standstill became packed. Naruto was not ready, and no one made reservations. So being Tuesday, they were understaffed for the 30 college "kids" that walked through the door. Young men and women all with the legal age here in Konaha to be inside were ordering food and drinks as the wait staff scrambled to make it all work. Naruto made a few calls to some of his other employees to see if anyone wanted to work a day off for a college party, and they all said yes. The first to arrive were a few of the dancers, Sakura, Ino, and Sasori. They were all changed quickly and out in different stages. They were offering their looks to whoever approached them—being the irresistible and sexy creatures they were paid to be. The next ones to arrive were the ones who liked to walk the floor. Naruto hated calling them anything but his doves or kittens. No matter what they identified as they weren't sex workers; they did what made them happy, and he didn't want to sully their name by making them feel less than they were. Deidara always came in fully ready. He always went out on the floor without a mask—his Golden locks flowing with his black leather booty shorts and black leather harness. He was always a bit on the kinky side. He made great money too. Pein came in with Konan. He didn't work the floor, but he was one hell of a cook and figured if his woman was coming, he was too. Her mask was a beautiful plain white mask tied behind her delicate face by a crimson string. It reminded Naruto of a fragile and pristine cat as she was behind the curtain. On the floor, she was a terror. She always held her own and walked with the regality of a lion. After a few dances, Sakura returned to inform Naturo/Inari that the bar was overrun and they needed help. Of course, they would need help on a damn Tuesday. Sighing frustrated, Naruto took off his jacket and hung it in his office closet. He looked in the mirror and made his way out. He headed straight to the bar. Many customers were enjoying dances or signing in to see if they could get some private entertainment. He would not let them overwork, so he signaled his waitress and handed her a note for the DJ. She walked up and handed him the slip of paper. He read it over and made the announcement. "Attention patrons, as per management, if you are not invited by said Dove or Kitten, you may not request them tonight. This is because of the overwhelming amount of people who have shown up without notice. If you have any issues, please see Inari at the bar. He started making drinks with the woman next to him, and Naruto never learned her name. She wanted to keep her life private, and he respected that. She wore an entire headpiece as he did, but hers was made of black lace and silk covering all but her eyes. They were stunning, but Naruto never seemed interested. Her teal orbs always entranced everyone around her, yet she only spoke in short sentences. As the night died, Naruto dealt with the assholes by having Zabuza escort them out. He walked the floor, hoping to ensure everyone was safe and having a good time. He reached a booth with four people sitting at it, and all seemed well until the red-headed woman started yelling at the ice-blue-haired man. Naruto cautiously approached, ensuring there weren't any of his Doves or Kittens in the middle of an argument he couldn't see. His voice was firm, gentle, and clear, crisp tone that caused them all to look at him. He was in shock and awe. Not only did he know the redhead, but it was his damn cousin and her husband. Mentally facepalming, he looked around the table, noticing two people he had seen but had never met before. The one was in one of the classes he was teaching named Jugo. He was a quiet kid and extremely polite, and had excellent grades. The other didn't even bother looking up. All Naruto could see was long lashes, skin as pale as milk, and black hair that hung over his face. "I am sorry to interrupt, but I need to ask you two to quiet down, or I will have to ask you to leave. This establishment doesn't need loud or crass customers. Thank you." Stating plainly. His breath caught as he saw the most hypnotizing eyes he had ever seen come from the young man with the raven hair. They were as black as his hair was. Both seemed to shine with a hint of red as the lights danced around the room. Karin just humphed and kicked her husband Suigetsu under the table. Naruto held back a snicker because he knew that wasn't how they acted at home. Was she only loud in public? "I know the owner. He is a relative and would not be happy you are treating me this way." Arms crossed as she pulled her "Karen attitude." "I assure you the business is no longer being run by the previous owner, and I would be glad to call your father if need be," The raven looked up again, took a swig of his what seemed brandy, and laughed with a sly smirk on his face. Drunk and full of himself, he slid out of the booth and told her to leave. He was going to deal with me, and she needed to get her drunk ass home. He handed the other a hundred-dollar bill and stated, "Jugo, get these lushes home. I need to talk to the bartender." Ah, Naruto thought, he's one of those who believe good looks and money will fix things. "How can I assist you, sir?" Naruto asked blandly. Suigetsu dragging her out by her waist. Karin screamed in the background, "Wait till I speak to my father. You don't treat people like this." "Sasuke, my name is Sauke Uchiha." His voice drops an octave as he gets closer. Naruto notices his black slacks are tailored just to him, and his navy blue silk shirt is open low on his chest, showing off his well-built pecks and creamy skin. "Listen, Sir, sorry, Sasuke. I cannot have people here causing fights as it causes issues with staff and the other patrons." Trying not to sound too annoyed as naruto knew where this was going. "Oh, no. I wasn't going to say anything like that at all. I agree Karin can be a bit of a chore when she is drunk. For that, I am sorry. What I wanted to know is what days you are on the list. You're the first piece I've been interested in tonight. "He leaned forward, his deep baritone vibrating through my body. " I am very sorry to inform you that I am no longer a dancer, nor have I ever been a Dove." Taking a step back from the drunk man while signaling my bouncer. "Shame you are delicious, and I could always use a good thrashing." Winking as he stepped back and walked towards the door. Zabuza approached him as he walked to the door and handed him his card. He looked over his shoulder with a sly smirk and fire in his eyes, "In case you change your mind." That made today suck. Not only did he have a gorgeous man who had never seen his face ask to rail him, but how would he tell his beau of the last five years? Gaara and he did have an open relationship, but if Naruto remembered correctly, Sasuke was co-owner with Gaara. Brother to Garras's other beau Itachi. Itachi would have his balls if he found out I was plowing his brother and Garra. Would they all be okay with that? Again open relationship but still. Should he be dating brothers? Tonight just sucked. Read the next chapter here No copyright interferential intended) All rights reserved to the respective owner(s)

We had our first fan art contest this year! If you didn’t get to see the amazing submissions we received check it out here>> https://bit.ly/3PWLshM We all voted and picked a winner and this year’s winner is Dia Al Daayni‘s Giorno and Mista painting. We asked Dia a few questions about how she made the painting and being an artist overall. Read the full interview below! 👇👇👇 💜💜💜 Animeforwomen: What inspired you to create this beautiful painting? Dia: “I love HiroHiko Araki’s art work, so I’m always redrawing or painting lots of his artwork.” 💜 AFW: What medium did you use to create your painting? Dia: “I sketched it first using a regular pencil on a canvas, then I started by the painting process by using acrylic paint. I also use ink pens/brush for any black bold outlines. After the paint dries I glaze it using gloss varnish that’s specifically made for paintings. I usually do 2-3 coats of varnish based on how shiny I want the painting to appear.” 💜 AFW: You have nailed JoJo's Bizarre Adventure drawing style. What techniques did you use to create fan art that looks like the original characters? Dia: “The technique that helped me perfect the JJBA art style is to draw starting from big to small. For example: start by drawing the biggest shapes or outlines of an image, don’t worry about the details and save those till later or till the very last. Details tend to mess me up often so I try not to worry about them at first. Also redrawing the same image till it looks exactly the same also helped me out a lot.” 💜 AFW: Since you drew Giorno and Mista are they your favorite characters in JoJo's? What makes them your favorite? If they aren't who is your favorite character in JoJo's and why? Dia:”They’re actually not my favorite, not saying I dislike them though. I just found that inspired photo to be eye catching so I decided to paint it. My favorite are Gyro Zeppeli because of his personality and just looks elegant, Funny valentine because he’s the one behind the steel ball run race. Finally, the stand caller Wonder of U Since he’s a terrifying but calm type of stand.” 💜 AFW: How long have you been painting? Do you sell your pieces? Dia: “I’ve been painting since I was 13 which is about 12 years now, But I’ve been drawing since I was a kid. I do sell my paintings just not at the moment due to studying and other personal reasons that are preventing me from painting anything”. 💜 AFW: Any advice for other fan artists/ artists in general? Dia:“My only advice that works is to just keep it consistent with art, draw often or on the daily to keep improving. It doesn’t have to be perfect or a full drawing, just a quick sketch of anything helps! Also YouTube art tutorials are great. Another really good way to improve your art is to find an artist with an art style that you like and try to mimic it; doing that will help you find your own art style and improve at the same time. If anyone has art related questions feel free to ask me c:” Dia Al Daayni‘s Giorno and Mista painting from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Follow her on Instagram @diasbrushh ( No copyright interferential intended) All rights reserved to the respective owner(s).

*For GetBackers fandom* Author’s Note For this section, it’s a rewrite of an old fanfic I did awhile back, but after reading the manga and discussing some ideas with a friend, I figure I would do a reboot of it. (Credits to Jae). Chapter 1:Discovery Changes. Changes were never easy, and to Sayaka it was already hard adjusting at times since stepping out of the limelight as the Black Ice yakuza boss. She had some access, yes, but she realized overtime that money can never buy happiness. She didn’t like herself when she was with Black Ice, let alone being raised by them. In fact, she was happy to be free and roam wherever she desired along with Akabane at times and not worry about being tracked of some sort. Now working as a cleaner to at least bring in some income to the household while Akabane was off doing transport work as always, she was wrapping up in a motel room before moving onto the last room for the day. However, there have been moments where she had that urge to snoop. Locking the door with the key, she moved onto the last room before she felt a dull pain in her stomach. Just what she needed, a stomach bug on top of it as it had been happening for quite some time. Hoping it would go away eventually, she paused before placing a hand over her mouth as she was starting to feel extremely nauseous. Quickly opening the door to the last room, she couldn’t help but quickly dash to the bathroom of the motel room and throw up. Exhausted, she was on her knees for a moment, breathing heavily for a moment. This is the fifth time I threw up today… Sayaka thought to herself, I can’t even keep food down without tossing it back up… Forcing herself up after taking a moment in the bathroom, she flushed the toilet before going over to the sink to rinse her mouth, washing away the vomit smell. She definitely didn’t want Akabane to suspect anything, especially if he was in a mood for a kiss. Taking a moment to recover, she poured some Pine Sol cleaner into the toilet and used a scrub brush to clean it. Despite taking a moment to clean the soiled toilet, the aroma from the cleaner in the toilet was too much for Sayaka to handle where she began to feel nauseous again. Not Again… Sayaka thought to herself as she held her stomach, fighting to keep the bile down. She pulled out her phone from her pocket. Taking a moment to look through her contacts, she was wondering who she could call that was not too busy. However, before she could, she blacked out. *~*~* Waking up in a hospital bed, Sayaka began to wonder how she got here. More importantly, who brought her here in the hospital? Adjusting herself for a moment to get up in a sitting position, she looked around for a moment before a nurse came in to check in. “Oh good, you’re awake.” The nurse commented with a smile. Sayaka tilted her head with confusion, “Excuse me, but any idea how I got here?” “Oh, a nice young man with blonde hair brought you here. And just in time too because you overexerted yourself there according to the doctor’s notes, especially in your delicate condition.” “Wait– Ginji brought me here?!” Sayaka questioned, “And what do you mean ‘delicate condition’?” “Oh, the doctor didn’t tell you? Congratulations then! You’re pregnant.” “Whaaaaa?! H-how?” Sayaka then paused for a moment, looking away from the nurse, realizing that she had been feeling like this for a few weeks. And it had been over a month since she and Akabane had made love. She began to wonder on that night when her and Akabane had done it, could it have been when he had knocked her up? She was so confused with the sudden news. She looked back at the nurse with seriousness. “Please… don’t say anything…” Sayaka muttered as she gripped onto the sheets, “I don’t want anyone to know…” “Do not fear. In the end, the choice is yours.” The nurse answered with a smile before she heard a knock at the door. “You can come in.” Akabane unexpectedly entered with a basket of fruit like he had that one time for Ginji, especially when news had already come out about Sayaka being in the hospital. Moreover, he also has a get well card. Sayaka, quite shocked to see Akabane as she was expecting Ginji to come in as he was the one that got her to the hospital in the first place. “Akabane-San… this is quite unexpected of you to show up.” Sayaka said as her green eyes widened. Akabane gave a slight smirk as he set the basket of fruit down by her bed side along with the card, “When I heard you were hospitalized, I dropped everything to come see you.” “But… I heard Ginji brought me here, did he not?” “Let’s just say, Ginji-Chan had a little errand to run, hm?” Sayaka was starting to feel sick to her stomach again as she placed a hand over her mouth, “Excuse me.” She commented as she hurried to the bathroom for a moment to throw up. Once the bathroom door shut, Akabane looked over to the bathroom for a moment before facing out the window to watch dusk approach. He enjoyed the night hours, especially as he was more of a night person than a day one obviously. The bathroom door opened and Sayaka came back out, nearly collapsing on the floor. The nurse helped her to her bed. “Be careful, miss.” The nurse commented before escorting Sayaka back to her bed. Akabane looked back over at Sayaka as he was sitting by her bedside, “You look quite pale.” “Yeah.. I guess I just got a little dizzy from not really eating today.” Sayaka laughed nervously before she placed a hand over her stomach. Akabane chuckled, “Well well, maybe you should eat something to settle your stomach.” “I guess…” Akabane got up for a moment to go and grab the basket of fruit. Sayaka looked out the window for a moment. She began to wonder how she was going to keep her pregnancy a secret? Especially from Akabane. Looking back over towards the door, she noticed a Chibi Ginji poking his head through the door of her room, yet refusing to come in because of Akabane’s presence. She smiled. “There you are, Ginji-kun.” Sayaka commented. “Uhhhh… sorry Sayaka, I would come visit, but Ban-Chan is probably wondering where I am.“ Chibi Ginji answered as he was sweating bullets and dashed off. “Wait Ginji! I wanted to thank you.” Sayaka sighed before Akabane brought her a plate of perfectly sliced apples by her bedside. “Here, some juicy apples just for you.” Akabane commented as he sat down by her bedside once again. “Thanks… but I dunno if I have the appetite for them though. This stomach bug I have is really bad.” Akabane couldn’t help but caress her cheek, “You should at least try to eat a slice, my dear Sayaka, I cut them up with love.” Sayaka looked over at him, smiling, “You really know how to make me smile, Akabane-San. I guess I am a little hungry.. okay, I’ll eat a slice.” Sayaka took a slice of apple and took a bite into one, chewing it thoroughly before swallowing, “Wow.. this is rather good.” Sayaka commented before she ended up eating the rest of the apple slice before moving on to another slice. Akabane smiled as he held the brim of his hat, “I have never seen you eat so quickly. You must have been starving.” Sayaka laughed nervously before she paused for a moment as she realized that she needed to be more careful when it came to the pregnancy cravings. She didn’t want Akabane to suspect anything. Hoping she can pull off the whole stomach bug bit a little longer — at least until she can no longer hide it.

We asked @neene_95 💜What made you get into cosplaying? 💜What is your favorite cosplay? 💜Do you have a cosplay that was very challenging for you? If so what did you do to overcome the challenge? 💜Just for fun: What is your favorite anime? Her answers N: “Just my love for the characters, through cosplay I can express how much that character mean to me. In a way it brings me closer to them.” N: “Actually Esdeath was very challenging for me. I’m very comfortable cosplaying male characters but females not so much. Simply because most of the outfits are really revealing. And for most of my life I’ve struggled with my body image. But I knew I wanted to cosplay Esdeath, so I forced my self to accept myself and the first time I cosplayer her the response was so amazing, it made me so happy.” N: “Absolutely Fullmetal Alchemist brotherhood. Ed is actually also my favorite cosplay to do and the first I ever did.” @nee_ne95’s Esdeath from Akame ga Kill! Follow Her For More!
