So, you might remember back in February
na_no_nai the misfortune pleasure of hosting a series of drabbles in her comments thread about Sasuke and his ponies.
Well.
My son's Sasuke figurine has been living in one of my cupholders in the car for the last week or so. I'm slightly creeped out in the mornings, when I have to move Sasuke out of the way for my travel mug, but I've been polite, and he hasn't unleashed snakes or a katon-no-jutsu on me yet, so it's been ok, all things considered. Until the day that my son pipes up from the back seat, and tells me that Sasuke likes hanging out in the cupholder because it's his hot tub. "Sasuke likes chillin' in his hot tub", the eight year old informs me. "Uh huh" I reply, glancing at Sasuke sitting in the cupholder. It is just about the right size for a hot tub actually. "He's waiting for his ponies" the boy in the back seat adds. "He likes to hang out in the hot tub naked with his ponies." This is the point at which I damn near drive off the road. Because somehow, it just seems sort of plausible, in that platonic boy and his pony kind of way.
And the whole Sasuke and his ponies thing was just delicious over the top fruitcake craziness, to lighten the tormented emo-kid bent on revenge. And then this week's chapter (which, clearly, I just got around to tonight) NINJA CATS??? Honestly. Might as well be ponies. Ninja Cats??? I saw that on an icon earlier in the week, and assumed someone was fooling around with the text... I didn't think it was really from the scanlations.
sigh.
However, the ninja cats and Juugo channeling Scarlet O'Hara by wrapping himself in the curtains was utterly redeemed by the appearance of Kiba, Shino and Hinata. Except when I realized that Kakashi seems to be leading them because apparently Kurenai is completely useless now that she's pregnant. grr.....
um. That's my fan ranting quota for the day.
Well.

So.. When your brood mare gets preggers and the stud is dead...
you probably would yank her form active duty.
you job is to live and squeeze out the kid! Whom will then be raised by the state while you get the hell back to work!

Date: 2007-05-22 05:31 pm (UTC)I kinda prefer the brood mare idea.
And hey, maybe he knew. Maybe she wasn't screwing around, mybye they talked to.
Let's say Genma.
And Politely asked him to kncok Kure up so they could raise the child.
I take that back. They'd find someone with back hair.
maybe what's his face, kotetsu. He's got black hair. Or am i thinking the other one?
(course, if it was genma you have the ammusing secnario where she was goign to have _two_ kids and let genma and Raidou keep one. Almost surely not cannon, but. I'm ammused.)

Date: 2007-05-22 05:58 pm (UTC)and I can see the conversation with Genma, Raidou and Asuma:
A: Genma, I need you to have sex with Kurenai.
G: OK.
A: Don't you want to know why?
G: Not really.
R: *facepalm*
