CrossedSachi

Update guys :3 I added a bunch of sketches.

So I came in and updated my Imgur gallery with a bunch of my sketched from school, but I didn't add this one particular drawing which I'll be showing you guys exclusively :3 I've been working on humanoid-shape body types recently, as those are one of my largest weak points when it comes to drawing, and I came up with this! http://i.imgur.com/EZn14BI.jpg His legs are a little off, but I was experimenting with that particular cross-leg pose, which I've never done before, but I'd have to say I'm largely satisfied with it. I've never drawn an anthro before, atleast, I've never drawn one that I actually liked.

Hey folks, I know I'm not super active much anymore. A lot is going on and I've been real busy, but I came across this game recently that you can get on XBLA. It looks really cool and apparently it's somewhat of an open world type game, with elements similar to games like castlevania and metroid. On top of that, the art styles are amazing and the combat looks incredibly fluid. Also, FULL VOICE ACTING. This is amazing because it's a very rpg type game as well, and most games like this just use text boxes. Anyways here's a gameplay demo from youtube.

Okay folks, after nearly a year of no writing at all, I finally sat down and wrote a new chapter to my story! I hope you enjoy it, and please don't expect me to push out chapters this fast all the time. Also remember, ad-lib wherever I might have messed up. The Lives of Happiness Chapter 5 I was cold. I was alone. I stood in the middle of a dark empty room, and could see nothing. Then suddenly, a light appeared in-front of me, right before my eyes. It was warm, and comforting but I didn't know why. I stared at it, and basked in its warmth. Then unexpectedly, a voice came from the light, and this voice itself was very warm, and loving. "Sachi....reach for the light...." At this point in time, four days had passed since my encounter with Mikai, and that she-cat. I sat in bed for a few moments this morning, as I did every morning, contemplating what seemed like messages that went through my dreams. Usually it was the same message in repeat, though this one was new, and I made some sort of an attempt at understanding it but gave up shortly. I then dressed myself and walked out of my room into the kitchen, and surely enough Buraki and Shira were there as usual. Shira was working on making breakfast while Buraki was rushing around trying to finish up some late morning chores of his that I was too tired to ask about. "Oh good morning Sachi, did you have a good night sleep?" Shira asked me, staring at me with that usual warm smile she almost always had on her face. "Uhm, oh, yes, thank you for asking ma'am" I smiled and looked off a bit distantly. "Sachi, is something wrong? You look a bit troubled, child" She placed down the food she was working with and wiped her paws off on to her apron as she walked over to me to give me a closer look I presumed, and suddenly placed her paw on my forehead. "Uhhh, what are you doing?" I asked, looking at her with a sort of dumb expression. "Hmm, you don't feel like you have a temperature. What's wrong?" She pulled her paw back and crossed her arms, looking at me with a half-worried face. "Oh it's really nothing to worry about Shira, I just have a lot on my mind is all, I'm terribly sorry." I slightly bowed my head in apology to her. "It's no problem dear, I understand fully. I tend to get a lot on my mind myself every now and again, and I suppose it makes me a bit distant myself as well, haha, well alrighty then, I've almost gotten breakfast finished so why don't you take a seat?" She motioned at the table and then went back to working with the food she was preparing. I simply nodded at her and sat down at the table, taking a whiff of the food she was preparing and it smelled very nice. Actually everything Shira cooked smelled nice, and it tasted really good as well, even when I didn't know what it was. Though I did learn a few things while I was there, I thought to myself as I picked up a small fruit that was already laying out on the table. It was small and red, and looked a little like a radish. It felt hard to the touch, but it was actually very soft if you bit into it, and it had a very sweet tropical taste to it. I believe they called it a Sproggit. Shortly after my little talk with Shira, she had breakfast laid out and Buraki was there waiting to be served. With a happy, yet somewhat tired expression glued to his face, sort of in the way that you might have predicted the exact expression. "So, I overheard you and Shira talking. Saying you got a lot on your mind, well what might that be exactly?" He asked me, giving me a sort of funny look, as if I might be keeping something interesting from him he would like to know. "Huh?" Was what I replied as I looked up from my food, "Oh, no it's nothing important, I'm just thinking about things in general is all, nothing special" I said, then looked back down at my food and resumed eating. "Hmm, well alright, though having too much on your mind like that can be unhealthy for ya, perhaps it's time we got you that job. It will keep your mind occupied, plus it will bring in some extra money to help us out." He just looked at me with a serious look on his face after saying this, waiting for me to give my reply. "A job huh? Well I suppose that would be good for me in one way or another. What kind of jobs can I get around here?" I asked, and Buraki sat there for a moment thinking before he said anything in return. "Hmm, well I can't say I know for sure what's available at this moment, but how about this. Just take a look around town today and see if you can find anything, if not, then I'll take you out to look for one tomorrow and we'll definitely get you a job." He then finished up his food after saying this and went to got up to place his dishes in the basin. "Okay then, that will be just fine" I said and finished up my own food before getting up to take care of my own dishes. "I'll head out now and see if I can find anything." "Oh but uh, before you go Sachi, I've got some things for you to do around the house when you get back, that pot in the bathroom is starting to build up a real killer of a stench." He chuckled and turned around to head into the living space. While I simply cringed at the thought, nodded and turned around to walk out. "Have a nice walk dear!" Shira shouted at me, as I walked out the door. The sun was shining bright, and it was a beautiful day. It was very warm out, though it was really arid that day, enough so that I had to stop by a nearby stream a few times to get a drink. I walked all over town that day, through the market area and the park, and through all the general housing districts. It wasn't that big of a town so it was easy to cover the entire area. I would note different places and small landmarks as I walked along, and keep track of them to easily remember a specific place. Though one thing special about that day that I did note, was that it seemed like there were a lot more people outside and about than usual, in fact, as far as I could tell, it looked like every person in town was outside, and many of them were also carrying big bags, which actually took me a while to notice. While I was walking through the market area of the town, I stopped and walked up to some random person carrying a big bag. He was a large orange cat, with a sort of plump figure, and he sported a red shirt with the sleeves pulled back and a pare of small round sunglasses. "Uhm, excuse me, sir?" I said to him, simply attempting to get his attention, which worked easily, he turned around and looked at me with a curious look on his face, as to be expected from someone who just had a stranger come up to them. "Could you by any chance tell me why everyone is outside carrying bags around? I'm, uh, new in town and I'm not familiar with this." He sort of looked at me strange and then somewhat slowly opened his mouth to reply. "Why, yesican, the dry season just started today and as such, the folks in town are all staying outside of their houses, along with their most prized possessions, in the fear that their houses may set on fire." After saying that he sported a smug smart look, and began to turn back around to continue on with whatever I had interrupted. "Oh, well thank you!" I shouted after him, and then started walking in a different direction. It was kind of weird the way this world worked, so many things were uneven and imbalanced, and people here always seemed to worry about one thing or another, although at this point I also started to think to myself if I should even be referring to the citizens of this world as 'people'. Regardless, I brushed away all the thoughts I had going on in my mind for that moment, and began to enjoy the scenery of the town again, taking a look at different buildings every so often to keep myself vigilant should I have had come across any chances for a job. A while later, after I had been walking around for a considerable amount of time, I looked up to check the sun to try and get an idea of what time it was. I didn't have a watch, neither had I seen any clocks around town, so I went with what I had, and by the looks of it, I had guessed that it was probably sometime around four or five in the afternoon. I decided that it may be a good idea to head back to the Sakanas home, so I turned my direction to head there. Except, I didn't end up going back there, because as I turned around to walk, I heard a loud scream off in the distance, and turning my head I perked my ear up to listen. ".....Fire!...Help!..." That was what I heard and without thinking I turned myself back around and ran towards the scream for help and what I came across was horrifying. It was a large, three story building, and it was one of the very few brick buildings in the town, and this one just so happened to be the town's only hotel. The entire building was up in a blaze, with large waves of fire bursting through windows and shooting up through the roof of the building, though of course the brick itself was fine, but as the fire grew hotter I could see as some of the bricks in the walls were starting to crack from the heat. I ran up to someone in the large crowd surrounding the building. "Hey! You! Can you tell me what happened here?!" I had to shout at the person as the noise of the fire and the crowd around it was loud. The person turned around and to my surprise, it was Mikai from a few days ago. "What do you think bozo eh!? It's a fire!" Then he actually looked at me and realized who I was, "Oh! It's you from before eh! I didn't recognize you! Sorry but I don't know how the fire started eh! Though I heard someone saying that there is someone still trapped inside there eh!" He turned around and looked back at the fire, and almost immediately after he had said that, the entire world just seemed to slow down, and all of my senses became stronger. Looking around at everything at what felt like my normal speed, everything seemed to move in slow motion. I turned and looked at the fire as I heard a long bellowing shriek of fear come from the building, and without hesitation I ran towards the building and lept into the doorway that had been burned away by the flames. As I entered the building, the smoke had almost immediately become unbearable, so I covered my nose and mouth with the collar of my shirt. The building was crumbling as I ran through it. Bits of support and scaffolding fell to the floor in large embering crashes. I managed to find my way to the stairwell, and was led on by the scream that continued to echo through the building. I was lucky that the stairs had not yet burned away, but some of it was starting to catch fire below me as I ran up them. It was almost as if the fire was chasing me. I ran up to the third floor of the building and followed the scream through the hallways, and it seemed to take ages but after a time of running around fires and blazes, and avoiding falling debris, I finally came to the door the scream was coming from. I opened the door and the first thing I noted was that it was a utility closet. I looked down and there was the girl, or more accurately a woman, but I couldn't make out who or what she was because the room began to flood with a black smoke. "Wh-who are you?" She asked, and then coughed from the smoke. I noted that even though fearful, her voice was smooth and calming. "I'm here to get you out of here!" I said to her, and I reached my paw out to her. She tried to grab it but fainted on the floor, so I had no other choice, I picked her up in my arms and held her in a cradling fashion. Surprisingly it was easier to pick her up than I expected, she felt very light and was easy to hold. I then turned around, trying to keep somewhat low to the floor, but it was hard since I was carrying someone in my arms. I ran through the blazing hall, a few holes were now appearing in the thick wood floor, that I had to be careful to avoid. I made it back to the stairwell, but to my dismay, the fire had now burned the staircase away, leaving me stranded on the third floor. Not only that but more and more of the walls began to crack and break apart, and I could hear as a small portion of the wall in the back of the building was collapsing. I moved frantically looking for another way out but to no avail, when suddenly I looked over my shoulder and there I saw a window, and it had not yet been broken open from the fire. Looking at it for a moment I made up my mind, and backed away form the window, facing it the entire time. Then, in one quick action, I bolted for the window, holding the woman tight in my arms, I bent my head forward and braced myself, jumping into the air, I sent my entire body crashing through the window, and as I flew through the air, a massive ball of fire burst through the opening behind me, scorching my tail in mid air. Time once more slowed down, and I flipped myself around in mid-air, putting myself below the woman. With one loud thud, I crashed into the ground, and fell unconscious.

Alright folks, I just had to post chapter 4 a little early so here it is for you all! Enjoy! And remember, ad-lib a little if something don't make no sense (bad grammar thar intended, hyuck-hyuck) The Lives of Happiness Chapter 4 Darkness...it was all I recall of that night. I floated in an endless sea of nothing, with only my own thoughts to keep me company. What did it mean? Even when there was nothing to my dreams....there was. Always consumed in darkness. What could it mean? It was my third day in this strange world. I woke peacefully this morning, opening my eyes to greet the warm ray of sunlight falling through the window and hitting the fur on my face. Slowly I sat up and stretched my arms, letting out a long yawn. I sat there for another minute or two, my ears twitching around, seeing if they could pick up any sounds with their new-found acuteness. A moment later I rose out of bed, folding my sheets back, and I dressed myself. As yesterday it was somewhat quiet in Buraki and Shira's home. I thought about this and as I did, it then dawned on me that I never asked them for their family name, "I'll have to do that later." I thought to myself. I began walking around the house, and noticed that the two elderly cats weren't around. "Odd, I wonder where those two are." As I walked around the house I took the time to actually note the layout of the house. From the kitchen where the front door was located, there were two small corridors that stemmed off of it. The one on the right led to my room, and the bathroom. While the one on the right led to the living room, the master bedroom, and the back door as well. Walking in to the living room I took a bit of a look around. There was a small two person couch and two chair, one was against the left wall, next to a small bookshelf, while the other was against the right wall, next to a small table stand, and the couch was simply in the center of the room, right in-front of a quaint little fireplace. There was a small oak coffee table in-front of the couch, and below it was a large circular rug. It was a lush rose red, with a blue flowered pattern around the edges. After looking over the living room I decided to make my way to the front door. The bathroom wasn't worth taking a look at, as it was just dull and made of stone, and it would have been rude to rummage through the two cats bedroom. I made my way to the front door and walked out of the small house, shielding my eyes from the bright sun. I began walking down the sidewalk, taking in the fresh air as I looked up at the bright blue sky. It was a beautiful day, and the light from the sun made the town almost glow in its brilliant light. Quite the sight, but I didn't focus on it too long, as I don't normally pay to much attention to anything for long. I just walked around the town, looking around, and hoping that I could find something interesting. Other than all the odd looking inhabitants walking around, there wasn't too much. The rest of the town almost seemed to fade into a regular setting, but i didn't stop, I was sure I'd find something interesting. After a while of walking around I started to get a little tired to I walked a bit further until I came across a small wooden bench. I sat down to rest for only a moment, but suddenly my ears stood on end and my whiskers began twitching around. I had gotten this strange feeling that someone was watching me. I stood up and began walking again, when I suddenly got the feelign again. Careful not to make any sudden moves, I lightly peered over my shoulder and out of my peripheral line of sight, I could see a short character, poking their head out from behind the corner of a building and staring at me. Playing it casual, I continued walking, and the small character came out from behind the wall and began fallowing me slowly, keeping a fair distance away. I waited a moment and slowed my steps, letting them get just a bit closer. Then, turning on my heel, I spun around on the short stalker. They then quickly turned around and began running away, and as I could tell were a bit shocked by my sudden motion. I ran after them, with the hopes of an answer as to why they were following me. The stalker tried to run from me but I was too fast, and after a few moments I caught up to them. Giving one strong leap, I tackled them to the ground. "Oof!...ouch guy. Why'd you have to be so rough eh?" The stalker said, as they rubbed their head from hitting it on the ground. After a quick assessment, It was obvious that this was a boy. He was a bit younger than me from the looks of it. Another cat, but this one had a sort of greyish-white fur, and his hair was a bit on the shorter side, and a dark silver. I grabbed him by the collar of the t-shirt he had on and stood up, holding him in place. "Owowowow, not so rough eh? I'm bruised here." "Yea well that's your own fault. How about you tell me why you were stalking me?" I said, a bit annoyed by this whole interruption to my day, but it did give me something to pass the time. "Stalking? Nono, I wasn't stalking you, I was just..eh...following you secretly. That's all eh. "That would be stalking. And you look a bit young to be walking around out here by yourself." "What now? I'll have you know that I'll be living on my own in less than a year pal. I don't need someone watching me eh." "Oh really? Well you don't-" I stopped mid-sentence here and remembered that I still didn't know much about this world, so it would be a bit hasty to say much of anything further. "Well..whatever, just...come up and say hello or something next time, rather than lurking in the shadows, and will you stop saying 'eh' that's a bit annoying." "Excuse me? I'll let you know that I have a speech impediment eh." After that I wasn't sure how to reply. I felt a little like a jerk now. "Uhm...oh..alright then." "Now can you let go of my shirt eh? I need to be getting home." "Oh! Sorry about that" I let go of his shirt and let him down. He then turned around and began to walk away. "Hey wait! What's your name?" "My name? Oh it's, uh, Mikai. Now I have to go, see you around." He waved me good-bye and walked off. The whole thing just seemed kind of random and strange, but at-least it kept the day from being boring. Perhaps I would talk to him again sometime. So anyways, after I stood there for a moment, trying to fully comprehend what had just happened, I turned around, and began walking back in the direction I had been going. I walked around for a while, thinking about the recent event that had just tooken place. It had possibly been the least thing I had expected to happen that day. As I thought about it, I had suddenly realized that I let Mikai walk off without telling me why he was following me. Well whatever, I didn't worry about it and just carried on my way, taking in the mid-day sights. Now the day was some-what long, and I could go on for several chapters about it, so I think I'll sum a bit of it up for convenience. On my walk through the town, I made several stops, going by a few of the local stores and shops. I had quite a good look at some of the culture here, which was quite interesting. I also took a walk through the local park, where I sat down once again to rest on a bench. It was a lovely spot, surrounded by a few trees and flower bushes. It was a pretty colorful place, everything a lush green, speckled by the bright yellow and pink flowers. I leaned back on the bench and shut my eyes for a moment, taking in the sounds and scents of my surroundings. It was then, in that following moment, that my whiskers began to twitch and I opened my eyes. I could sense someone coming. I looked to my left, and that...that was when I saw her. My eyes widened and my ears dropped as my claws stuck out and dug deep into the bench. My entire being was humbled by her. Her body thin and slender, curved perfectly at every angle. Along with eyes that shined a brilliant deep blue, almost like sapphires, her fur was black, but shined with the brightness of a star-lit night, and her hair was a dark silver that shined like the halo of an angel as the suns light engulfed it. She wore a long glimmering dress, a deep ruby red, and it was decorated with an intricate golden pattern. The dress went just past her knees, and was split down the left and right sides, letting her thin, toned legs show. As this beautiful creature passed by the bench, I could see her head turn to me just the slightest, and our eyes made direct contact. My breath stopped, my heart ceased to beat, and my blood stood still. As she walked away I let out a long breath and slumped back into the bench. She was the most beautiful thing my eyes had ever laid eyes upon, but...What was I thinking? She isn't even a human, how could I be attracted to her? I'm not even one of them, well, at-least, I wasn't on the inside. I wasn't sure what to think of it, but I knew that one day I was going to see to it that I spoke to her. For now though, I decided to head back to the two elderly cats home. She continued to go through my mind over and over as I walked back. I just couldn't seem to stop thinking about her. I had noted every detail about her and I could picture her perfectly in my head, right down the the length of her tail and the angle of her ears. Everything about her was pure perfection, and it was a perfection that I had to know even more of. So as I finally reached the elderly couples home, I struggled to push the thoughts of her out of my head as to allow me some focus. I entered into the kitchen to be greeted by Shira. "Oh, welcome back Sachi. How was your day on the town?" She said with a warm smile. A smile that reminded me of home when I would come back from a day of exploration to be greeted by my mother. So as soon as I had entered I could smell that Shira was just finishing up with dinner, so I took a seat at the table before responding. "It was, eventful, I suppose. This is a very nice town." "Oh yes, it is a nice town. I would know, I've been living here ever since I was just a kitten." She gave out a long sigh, and looked up at the wall as if in deep thought. "I can remember so many of my younger days. I was quite the catch back then, haha, there weren't a lot of men who could walk past me without taking a second look. In fact, I can remember when i first met Buraki. He was just the shiest little thing.....Yea....those were the days. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm doing it again, I tend to lose myself when I start thinking about the past" She looked a bit embarrassed, but i just smiled at her and laughed a bit. "Oh it's alright Shira" I said, laughing a little in my words, "I don't mind listening about others pasts. It keeps me entertained, anyways" "Yes well. Oh, dinner is done. Dear, please come to the kitchen, dinner is ready!" She called out for Buraki who came slowly into the kitchen, rubbing his back and yawning. "Well that's all good, I'm pretty hungry. Disturbed my nap though." He gave out another yawn and sat at the table. Shira then fixed plates and set our meals down on the table. "Oh please, you old pussy cat. Don't tell me about naps, I've been working on dinner for the past hour." She said humorously as she sat down at the table with her own meal. "And that's exactly why I love you. Your just so generous, and I'm very thankful." Buraki said in an equally humorous and almost sarcastic way. I just stared at them, looking a little confused as to if they were joking around. "Uh, so, Buraki, I was wondering, where were you two this morning?" I asked as i began eating. "Oh, me and Shira had to go to the town hall for a council meeting." "You and Shira are on the town council?" I wasn't to familiar with this world or politics, but I was smart enough to recognize what a town council was. "Yes, we serve on it every couple of weeks to take votes on recent issues and proposals." "That's interesting I suppose. I wouldn't have guessed though. Oh, I just remembered, I never got your family name, mind telling me?" "Oh goodness! I can't believe we forgot to tell you that, hahaha, I suppose our minds have both gone bad from old age. It's Sakana, haha, I suppose that will make things a bit easier for you?" "Yes quite, thank you." After that, we all focused on our dinners, and after, Buraki offered to do the dishes for tonight and let me take it easy, as there wasn't really much to be done that day. So I simply retired to my room and layed in bed for a while, thinking about the days events. Mikai the small cat, and a magnificent beauty. For the next few days, those two encounters would be the high points of my time in this new world. Thoughts of that beautiful she-cat began rolling through my mind again as I rested there, and I closed my mind, allowing it to wander freely. After a few moments I drifted off into a deep sleep, with a soft, pleasant smile on my face. Alright guys, now it looks like i have to start writing again. Ohhhh boy, I hope my think-box holds out.
