Kittyb78's Bankotsu Shrine

Update time! I have recently completed Bankotsu's FuturisticEscapades still need to post the last half of it though. UE is nolonger on hold and will update weekly until it is completed, as I am doing with BFE.

I have also completed revisions on AMercenary's Everlasting Love and Betrayal It Comes Full Circle. I amworking on Small Youkai Lovers as I get the time. Once I have postedthe end of BFE, I will start posting on a regular basis for BICFC. I have it completely revised and am working on finishing it's chapters, before I post it on a regular basis.

As for AME- I am still working on how I want to finish it, so it will take a while yet. The same for SYL.

On a more personal note: My recovery is going nicely. My face no longer stays swollen 24/7 so I've been able to write more.

K:However,the holidays are fast approaching and I must see to those first, so other than BFE and UE don't expect updates weekly anymore.

I will still write when I have the time to, and don't worry I'm not canceling any of my currently unfinished fics!

Bankotsu here, I've been keeping her nose to the grindstone regardless of herhealing. -evil smirk- Oh and don't worry I'll make certain that shedoesn't cancel any of the fics.

-heavy sigh- But she'sstill going on about 'holidays' and 'preparations' and all that jargon.-rolls eyes- So I'll keep on her about typing between all that other stuff.

-cracks fist, with an evil gleam in eyes as he flashes Banryu and a deadly smirk- You can count on it!

-evil chuckle invades the air as he swings Banryu, loudly cutting through the wind. -author in background screaming.

No Bankotsu! Not the walls again! -with an agry face-

-snickers until he see's her wielding a cast iron skillet- -eyes widen and startstrying to duck the angry author brandishing a skillet-

Come back here you-

the cameras go black

We're getting closer to the holiday season and I'm going to haveto cut down a bit more on my writings.

So I've decided to put TC and UEon hold until BFE is completed and then I will finish up TC and the UE.

I know everyone is looking for updates on them but BFE is demanding the spotlight so -shrugs- thems the breaks. Sorry.

I promise they wont be discontinued, but I need to just focus on onestory at a time from now on- Trust me I will be able to devote all my creative energy to every chapter of each fic this way and I won't feel so rushed or overwhelmed.

Please be patient. They will getcompleted. I will complete BFE and then post a poll asking which fic you, the readers, want finished next. Thanks for your patience.

My focus for now- is updating BFE at least once a week.

--

P.S. I'm healing for the next 6 weeks {again}, so one chapter a week is going to bethe best I can do.

I hate the meds I'm on now and what they are doing to me, so I am going to heal with just ice packs for the pain from the surgery. I'll be on and offline random times though these weeks.

Thanks for your patience.

I'm very sorry it will be a whole week between each of the updates, which will be Fridays. But things have to take priority like my healing from surgery. And my family of course, always comes first!

Anyways thanks for being patient! XD

-

Please be patient and thanks for enjoying my works.

"Bankotsu here, don't worry I'll make sure she doesn't cancel any of the fics."

-evil gleam in eyes as he flashes Banryu and a deadly smirk.

"You can count on it."

-evil chuckle invades the air as he swings Banryu, loudly cutting through the wind and the cameras go black-

08-29-09 Okay time for an update!!!

Amid all of the various birthdays, I have been using these past weeks between updates to focus on my actual novels. I will update the day after my birthday as scheduled.

I have also posted a few one shots in these past weeks too. So hopefully those will tide everyone over until Sept 15th XD

-grumbles- "Yeah, she's been working on some story that has nothing to do with me. It's all from her imagination, and even though I hate to admit it, it's actually pretty good."

-glares at authoress- "I still think she should be writing about me though." -pouts-

Aw Ban, cheer up. I'm still working on your stories too.

"But it's not all just my stories anymore." -sulks-

-shrugs- Hey I have a life too ya know? It can't always be just about you. -hands a brownie as a peace offering- 

-takes brownie and continues sulking-

-sighs- Hey I made the one shots mostly about you.

-perks up- "That's true at least." -eats brownie-

-smiles- see, you're still getting your time to shine. Plus the 15th's updates will be all about you.

-smirks- "True enough"

I'll tell you what, you can even do the sign off this time.

-grins- "Alright!" -clears throat, before speaking totally seriously- "Okay people, like she said the 15th's updates are all about me." -smirks- "So you better keep an eye out for them." -holds up Banryu smirking- "Or else." -evil eyes-

-swings Banryu laughing evilly and the camera goes blank-

Update guys and gals! BFE as current has now been renamed to 'Two Worlds Collide' and a new version of Bankotsu's Futuristic Escapades is underway! THE NEW BFE is a Ban/Kagome fic and takes place in the Modern Era. Here is the  summary for you all:

Bankotsu's Futuristic Escapades:

When the final battle leaves Kagome broken hearted and she is sent toher time with the well permanently sealed, How will she react to thefact that not only is the mercenary leader in her time, but it turnsout he is originally from her time? Ban/Kag

Okay as most of my ffnet fans know already, I have finally finished Double Trouble! XD Yay! *starts dancing for joy*

*walks in and stares at her like she's crazy* "What the hell are you doing?"

*sighs* "What are you doing here?"

"Ja mentioned you were doing an update, so I decided to come help you." *grins boyish grin*

*mutters under her breath, before looking at Bankotsu and sighs* "Fine you tell them then."

"Ban here, so yeah she finished Double Trouble and surprisingly did a great job." *watches her smile* "Anyways she's been working hard on my two favorite ones 'The Captive' and  'Unexpected Encounters' so be sure to watch for those updates." *glares at her adding, "which better be soon onna."*

*glares back warning, "Play nice or no brownies."*

*eyes widened* "Fine whatever."

"Now like he was saying, he's had my nose to the grindstone since our last update and more chapters are written." *takes a deep breath and finishes* "The problem is, real life is coming first so the updates are garunteed at least once a month, but not promising anymore than that."

"Yeah she's got these things coming up like birthdays and stuff, plus some other stuff." *grabs a brownie and eats it*

"So here's the list where things stand now. I will update TC, UE, and BFE at least once a month. The last three being AMEL, SYL, and BICFC are all on hold until TC, UE, and BFE complete."

*smirks* "At least my stories are coming first." *happily stuffs another brownie in before draining the glass of milk.*

*admonishes* "Better watch the sweets or you'll lose your looks there braid boy."

"psh! Whatever." *Gets up*  "So anyways there you have it all my lovely fans."

*clears throat and stares at him*

*mutters and corrects* "Our fans.*

*smiles* "That's better thank you."

*rolls eyes* "Whatever." *turns back to fans* "So keep your eyes peeled and let us know what you think of the stories." *turns to her and raises eyebrow*

"What?"

"Get back to work already Onna! Things are just getting really... interesting!"

*mutters* "Only cause you're about to... Hey! What are you doing?!"

*drags her by the arm and sits beside her* "Stop giving things away and tart writing girl, I wanna see this."  *smirks smugly as she begins writing*

"You heard him guys- gotta go." *Writes some more*

*eyes widen and smirk deepens as he bends over and whispers, "Add this." *whispers*

*eyes widened and begins to blush before writing*

*grins* thinks, "This is gonna be awesome," *looks over as she continues writing and smirks in approval*

*spots camera and chases away before rejoining the authoress and whispering his ideas, causing her to blush more*

Long time no update, ne?

So here we go. I've healed rather well all things considered. We've had togo out of state recently for another funeral so yeah, life goes on though and the ball is rolling....

UPDATE!!!I've recently started posting bday fics again for some of my closest friends. So be sure to check those out. Now for an Update on my stories... here goes:

I'm going to try to update my fics Double Trouble, The Captive,Unexpected Events, and Bankotsu's Futuristic Escapades at least once every two to three weeks. Thanks for the your patience and understanding.

List of my currently being worked on fan fictions:

A Mercenary's Everlasting Love- On Hold

DoubleTrouble- is still going strong. I've revised the entire thing keepingthe main plot, but the ending is going in a completely new directionfrom originally planned. And here is where to find the AMV I made of DT so far: http://www.youtube.com

/watch?v=9-0CbCN4llU

Bankotsu's Futuristic Escapades-Is going strong and will include both the FE and ME.

TheCaptive- My newest Ban/Kag fic, Is now posted and seems to be goingnicely. This one isn't as hard as I expected it to be so yay for that.It is still rather graphic and dark so be warned!  XD

Unexpected Encounters- Another dark fic of mine. This is a Ban/OC and is going very well. It's another Dark fic and sad so read at your own risk XD

Non Bankotsu related fics:

Small Youkai Lovers- On Hold

Betrayal It Come Full Circle- On Hold

So that's my current ongoing fics up to date. Everything else including my Bankotsu&Kitra trilogy is finally completed *dances for joy*

*mutters to herself*

"Alright I heard ya! Argh!"

"Hey yall Bankotsu wants to say something so here he is:

Bankotsu "Yo Bankotsu here, make sure you check out her two newest fics about me. They keep everything very real."

*looks at Kitty* "And you onna get your butt back to work before me and my companion decide to make ya."

*Scowls*

"Hey meanie! How about a little support here? We did just lose grandma, ya know."

Bankotsu: "Yeah and you also took off without a word to me and were gone for half a week... You've had you break now back to work!"

*mutters below my breath "such a slave driver"*

Bankotsu: "What was that?" *taps Banryu*

"Nothing, ya'll heard him Gotta go." *scoots back to keyboard and begins slaving away*

Bankotsu: *smirks* "That's what I thought." *goes back to adressing the readers* "Anyways, we hope you like the new layout, I'm kind of fond of the black backgrounds with red writing myself. She chose the aqua" *mutters I wanted it all red* "Anyways, that's it for now, Bankotsu out."

*goes to check on authoress* "You better be typing woman!"

05-17-09 Here we go, my dentist has me on super strong meds andthey are messing with my focus and such so may be a while for theupdates.

I'm trying to get the last chaps to B&K ROD written, whenmind isn't hazy from meds, today I had some work done on my mouth, andboy am I sick Hopefully when I do update again, B&K ROD shouldbe finished.

Double Trouble:

I am going to completely revise the ending of DT. I'm taking it somewheretotally different from the original planned ending so please bepatient, I think the readers will be in for a nice surprise. It also isno longer a co work, it's my own story from here out once again.

A Mercenary's Everlasting Love, and Bankotsu's Futuristic Escapades arestill having the ends mapped out, so those won't finish for a whileyet.

After those are all finished I'll finish Small Youkai Lovers, andthen finish Betrayal It Comes Full Circle.

Onceall the current stories -listed above- are finished, I will work on TheCaptive and see about posting it's 2 chaps I have completed.

I'm very sorry for the lengthy times between updates but things have totake priority and with meds this strong, I'm lucky to be awake now lol, anyways thanks for being patient! XD

I have a new poll up so please be sure to vote so I know what to work on finishing next ;D

Okay here goes, update time:

I am pleased to announce I have recentely completed- yes that's right completed both Bankotsu&Kitra: The Beginning, and Bankotsu&Kitra: Past Relations.

I have also posted the first official chapter of the final arch in my trilogy, Bankotsu&Kitra: Return Of Darius, and am currently mapping out the chapters for the final arch.

I'm excited to see my baby finally living up to it's potentiol, but I'm sad at the same time, because I know at long last it's coming to and end. I think my readers are really gonna enjoy this final book in my trilogy though.

On a side note, the first two have been completely revised, so do re-read them before trying to continue or nothing will make any sense!!!

The rest of the fics seem to have taken a back seat. I'm deciding how exactly I want to end ATF, so meanwhile I've worked really hard on my trilogy. I started this trilogy way back in 2007 when I first began writing.

In fact: the Bankotsu&Kitra Trilogy first posted back on 08-31-07. I fully intend to complete it by that date this year!!!

I seriosuly plan on taking my time with the final arch of the Bankotsu&Kitra trilogy, as I want it to come out right the first time- so be patient.

The rest of my works are still in progress, but right now the trilogy is my main focus, after sick kids and hubby of course After B&K:ROD, on the list is a few bday fics, and ATF.

Once those are done, I'll look into DT, BFE, SYL, BICFC, and AMEL. Probably even in that order, I honestly don't know yet. As i've told people before, when I'm writing, the characters seem to come to lfe and dictate what happens, so bear with me and be patient, the results will be well worth the wait, I'm sure! ;)

The new Ban/Kag fic TC has taken a back burner. I'm not used to writing dark, depressing fics, so it'll take a while to get it right.

Also for those waiting, the sequel to SYH, will likely be the last thing posted after all the others have finally gotten completed. I have my notes, but haven't even started working on that one yet.

At the rate I'm going I think I'll definitely be able to complete all of my posted non finished fics by the end of 09, and realize my new years resolution!!!

-dances around excitedly and notes herself never to start more than one new posted fic at a time again-

Okay time for an update....

What I've Done Since Lastime:

I now have the chaps mapped out for both Bankotsu&Kitra:The Beginning and Bankotsu&Kitra: Past Relations.

I now have the ST done for Bankotsu&Kitra: Return Of Darius. So, I am slowly making headway on those.

I've managed to create 3 AMVs as well. The ones for AMLS, and DT are up on my youtube account. The other is Ban/Kag Memories. I'm planning on doing an AMV for each of my actual chaptered stories. Just something new I've been doing to get over the dreadful writer's blocks :P

To Do List:

I still need to finish writing out the chaps for B&K: TB and B&K: PR. {like 3 or 4 chaps each then they will be done.}

I need to finish mapping out BFE and write those up.

I still need to finish mapping out chaps for the end of DT and write chaps 26-end up.

I still need to straighten out my notes and write a follwable ST up for AMEL, BICFC, and AU ME Ban/Kag.

I still need to map chaps out for AMEL, BICFC, B&K: ROD, AU ME Ban/Kag, and SYL.

I still need to finish ATF but it's close to done now.

I have started a new Ban/Kag story but it will take place in the FE and be very different from my usual ones. I probably won't even start to post it, until I have it completed- so it'll be some time yet before that comes out: but I am working on it. However, the summary has been posted on my ffnet profile and the first 3 chapters are complete.

I have a few birthday fics to write up yet too

On a side note, I've recently dug into my old backups and found thousands of pics of Bankotsu, Kagome, the two of them together and with kids, so yeah more AMVs will be coming lol.

Here is one of my older pics of them together Enjoy!!!!!!!!!:

Okay here goes, We've been having a nasty couple of years:

My grandmother died after two years of fighting cancer. She died early Dec 07. Since then, we've lost my great grandmother in Oct 08 due to old age, my husband's grandfather in Nov 08 also due to old age, and we just this week, found out his grandmother is now dying, that's 4 deaths in 15 months.

It's one hell of a lot to cope with in such a short time. On top of the fact that we are both out of work due to another of his jobs going to China{3rd one in like 3 years} and no jobs being available here, we may just end up moving again. Now add the fact that to a person as sensitive as I am, one who cries even over strangers deaths, it's one hell of a lot to cope with.

I'm burying myself in my stories to cope with it all, but now I'm only online about one hour every two days, so I pretty much post whatever I have done and ready, then check emails. So there's no gauruntee I will even respond within 48 hours to any given email, pm and messages. I will get to you all in time, but try to understand, okay, and lastly I am still updating my stories, but only on ffnet under the same pen name as here, so check there if you want to read them.

Now, I've recently completed a few of my Fics  So now I'm gonna redo the list and where they currently stand at this very moment.
