Random title... >> Don't expect this to be any good, or make any sense, or... etc. I was suddenly stricken with TBC writer's block about ten minutes ago. :/
Also, the excerpt from the story Asuka's reading is a story I hope to publish someday when I sharpen my literary skills. :3

And Lily stood, growing increasingly irritated at the two morbidly obese individuals crushing the lawn chairs that Mrs. Woods had labored so incredibly hard to make. She pressed ever harder on the slideshow's clicker as she observed the pair chatting about their company's newest product and being completely oblivious to Lily's presentation of "Unexplainable Things". She was so enraged at one point, that the sound of the clicker beginning to crack under her grip startled the two businessmen into paying attention once again.
...Lily ended up having to finish the rest of the slideshow with a ha-
"Anything wrong, Asuka?"
I was so startled, I almost changed into my bijuu form to attack the person who had just spoken. But I remembered that there were humans on this ship too, and I didn't want to blow it for everyone, and that was enough to calm me down. I looked up at the person who had spoken. Almost immediately I recognized him as the "King of the Bijuu" that Raijuu had shown me when I first Teh Biju Club. Yet... I didn't know his name. And how did he know who I was? Of course, it was my first instinct to ask.
"Who are you? I don't believe we've met before," I stated.
"Kyuubi no Yoko. I am the leader of Teh Biju Club," he replied.
"Huh. You shouldn't be wasting your time talking to me then. I have nothing to say." I tried to be as straightforward as possible. Talking to him felt uncomfortable, like if a lowly peasant were talking to an emperor. To make it look like Kyuubi had interrupted my story, I pulled the book up to my face and pretended to read.
He shrugged. "Fine with me," he said, and strolled away.
My mother-that-had-just-told-off-her-kid-for-no-good-reason instinct kicked in, and I felt a sense of guilt. I hoped hadn't sounded too harsh... What if he spreads nasty rumors about me or something? Then I would be hated by all of the members of Teh Biju Club!
Bitterness towards the cruise's destination, thoughts on love, and what horrible things that might come out of this sudden incident all weighed heavily in my mind. I was really hoping that we would get to Hawaii soon so I could go drown myself in a coral reef or something...
Someone please continue!
