Of Love Daemons and a Frenchman
From the catacombs of our minds we bring you a classic round robin
A St. Valentine's Day tale
Japan celebrates Valentine's Day like America, but there are some differences. For one thing, they call it St. Valentine's Day. Also, the advertising starts in about mid-January, with the main wave of advertising (sales, etc.) in the first two weeks of February. The main focus of all this isn't cards - it's chocolate. *stomach rumbles*
Actually, I should say CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *insane crackle can be heard from the S&N group* Department stores may have half of one floor devoted to tables and tables of different kinds - big boxes, little boxes, filled, straight, white, brown, fancy shapes, make-it-yourself, more kinds of chocolates than anyone could possibly imagine. Every grocery store, 24 hour corner store, and just about any other kind of store you can think of have a section devoted to St. Valentine's Day chocolates around this year. I should also mention that Hershey's and the other foreign chocolate companies seem to have a strong presence in all this.
The chocolates on February 14 are only given by girls - the men get the presents. In fact, in most offices, the girls give their boss a present ("giri" choco - duty chocolates).
In case you feel sorry for the girls - March 14 is White Day, when those men who got chocolates are supposed to return the favor.
So - St. Valentine's Day, in Japan, is a "Sadie Hawkins" day, when the girls give chocolate to the men, so that on White Day, March 14, the men will give them chocolate.
And you thought Hallmark had something to do with it?
The set up:
A week before St. Valentines Day (Men's March 14 White Day) and Mia doesn't want to be without a Valentine this year. The guys are still living at the house and she doesn't want them to pity her, especially Sage, who she has a crush on. She knows Sage has a date for Valentine's Day, she over heard Rowen and Sage talk about the stuff he got for his sweetheart (not knowing they were actually talking about her). She decided to use the Daemon Box her old friend, Damneon de Mailmion, from France gave her before she moved to Japan. The box is supposed to contain a demon (Daemon) captured by European Priests in the Dark Ages. These Daemon's are trapped within the box to pay for its crimes against humanity by becoming a "genie-type" servant to a human master/mistress. Needless to say be careful how you word your wishes. Mia wished for a "totally free-will pure love to spend St. Valentines Day with so not to be lonely." Mia just might get her wish and more…How the Round Robin was born:
Once upon a time, a Youkai kitsune (demon fox) and a headmistress by the name of Mia's Aulsa got together (devouring all sorts of caffeine coated candy).
"Girl, we should to do a Round Robin!! I've seen other mailing list doing it and I think we should try it out." Youkai had proclaimed while she scoffed down ramen noodles in the most unflattering way. "slup..gulp..burp.."
"Right on Youkai and I have the most perfect idea!" at this time Youkai tossed her bowl, (hitting an innocent bystander in the head) and backed away. Mia Aulsa was grinning evilly and though it was hard to scare the little demon fox; the demon was petrified.
After much caffeine and sugar the girls managed to make a plan, a semi-well thought out plan that is. Together Youkai and Mia Aulsa kidnapped Sage and the rest of the 'unimportant Ronins'. Youkai had insisted to kidnap the ex-warlords as well. Kayura was more than happy to hand them over to us. (Youka personally took care of Kale…Kale refused over-and-over again but he was beaten into submissiveness.) After a week with Mia Aulsa the Ronins agreed to help with the Round Robin. (After a week with that lady Talpa would have converted to a life of monk-hood). Kayura and Mia volunteered to assist, no torture was necessary. Kayura was thrilled because she had the ex-warlords off her hands and Mia was happy because she finally gets to have some action with hot guys. *lucky* A week later the Round Robin was issued. The End
Allow me to introduce you to the authors:
Mia Aulsa's- She is the mad woman behind the Round Robin. Mia Aulsa is also the landlord of Seiji & Nasuti yahoo group mailing list, owner of Mia Koji mailing list and the creator of "Knowledge is the key A Mia Koji site (I believe it might be called Angel Love song now?)". She's one smart cookie!

Youkai Fire Fox- This lady is crap! We all hate her, she has no talent! A useless waste of space and she needs to die!!! DIE WE SAY!!! ….Okay-okay, that's me! I'm the demon fox, the one who is in charge of posting the round robin. I have not'in interesting to say. If I told you, I would have to kill you. *evil crackle*
Amy- Another lovely member who has been with S&N group for awhile, we all love her work in the round robin. She has a wonderful talent with writing and we hope to see more work from her. She's getting married around October 2003; we wish her the best of luck and many bouncing, anime lovin children.
Rock- Author of many stories at ff.net, most I believe is Ryo and Mia. Her work is fabulous, but there is no need for me to tell you that; just got to her penname and find out for yourself.
Kamili- This gal is our newest and youngest member at the Seiji & Nasuti mailing list but she has great potential. Most importantly; she's a loyal Seiji and Nastui groupie.

Max- She's new to the S&N group but was already famous by the time she joined from previous stories she has written at ff.net. She's a close internet friend of mine and one of the biggest fanatics of the Seiji and Nasuti pairing.
*****
Disclaimer- Ronin Warriors is not in our procession, if we were in charge we would have made Sage the star and the other warriors would have bowed to his royal ass. *snicker* Though the show belongs to the original creators we members of S&N torture and corrupt the characters. *cheer from the S&N group erupts* We once tried to get the copyrights by black mailing the production headquarters but that only ended up with a reprimand and we were force to sacrifice a member. *S&N group sniff* It was for the good of our group. Actually, we could care less; we never liked her to begin with. Not only was her name odd, she had a sick obsession with Sage. (If it was possible; she was worse then us) She went by Talpa-lina…*rolls eyes* like I said, weird name. I swear I've herd that name before?
Apology- I want to apologies to all the reviews we had to erase from Youkai Fire Fox's account. To make a new account for the story we had to change accounts, this resulted in deleting the original reviews we had received. We greatly appreciate those who have enjoyed our work and we hope to continue pleasing you.
Sincerely, Youkai Fire Fox
