Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: After the Fall 5
I found myself looking at Yomosa's sleeping form again. She knew I was there and would find my watchfulness comforting. Well, more the former than the latter would make her less likely to suddenly attack me. Her breathing seemed more worried. And why wouldn't it be? Our room had just been torn through and now there was danger.
Though our room wasn't like Hijunaki's Palace, it was still ours. We hadn't been here for as long as I had been at the Palace, Yomosa didn't have the lifespan for one thing, but at least we had been here for a little while. The invasion was most likely just a threat as we were both alive. Yomosa to sleep and myself to watch. But for what reason was the threat meant?
I quickly stood up and prepared myself to fight as I sensed someone, or something, enter our room. Looking at the robed figure didn't do much. For whatever it was, it wanted to be hidden.
"What do you want?" I asked sternly.
"Rig Katashi," The figure said in a sickly voice. Sickly for a human but normal for an Air Elemental. "You must leave."
"We were already thinking of leaving this village. No need to tell us we have to leave here." I replied. Though I knew that it meant something else entirely.
"You must leave this land." It said. "You must cross the ocean, which you have only seen lapping at the beaches, and find somewhere else."
"You mean leave the only land I have ever known?" I walked up close to it, but I still couldn't tell if it even had a face. "What gives you the right?"
"I want to save your life." It said without its sickly voice hindering the anger. "The one who is coming against you can't leave this land."
"And who is this one?"
"Names have power. Invoking this one's name would have devastating consequences."
I thought about what this creature was saying. It wasn't just talking about leaving a village or going into hiding. It was talking about leaving it all behind. I didn't mind leaving some memories behind, but others I couldn't dream of saying goodbye to.
"And what if I stay?" I finally asked.
"Then you are your lover will die." It replied. "It's not an easy choice. But you need to make it."
I took a few steps back and nodded.
"I have done what I can here." It replied and just disappeared.
At that exact moment Yomosa woke up.
"We have to go now." I told her.
"Why?" She asked and stared at me.
"A creature, possibly an elemental, told me that we have to leave this land so we can live." I explained and an expression of despair washed over her face.
"Are you sure?" She asked and I looked away.
"Yes." I said and then what came out next I couldn't have stopped even if I had wanted to. "I love you and I wouldn't lead you into unneeded danger."
This didn't lead to a kiss but merely an embrace that said so much more.

Coma (2012)
Title: Coma
Parts: 1 & 2 (aka the whole movie)
Type: Made for TV movie (A&E)
Based on the Book: Coma
Book Written By: Robin Cook
Director: Mikael Salomon
Starring: Lauren Ambrose, Steven Pasquale, and Geena Davis
Rated: N/A
Released: 2012
Personal Rating: 3.5/5
revrezner's Rating: 7/10
Oscars: N/A
Basic Plot: A young medical student discovers that something sinister is going on in her hospital after routine procedures send more than a few seemingly healthy patients into comas on the operating table.
-------------------------------------------
Two Best Scenes
Two of the best scenes of this movie involve running. Both times the scenes are long but engaging. They both involve the main leading lady getting chased around. The first time by who I called "The Flirty Guy". The Flirty Guy sees trees trying to stop him (trust me, it's cooler than crazy) and so the leading lady has a few seconds of borrowed time. The second one is at the end of the movie. This chase reveals a lot about the plot and is one of the most disturbing moments of the film.
First Part is Build Up
The first part is actually very slow. It's build up where there's a mystery that you already know is there. It should slowly hint at a mystery whereas the mystery is pointed out. You know there's something wrong with the institute and yet you have to wait for the characters to catch up. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Part 1 but you have to admit it was slow.
The Non-Ending
I'll try to make this part spoiler free as possible: this movie has an ending where it shows the problem was never solved. These endings are good for shock but it doesn't make sense in my opinion. The character who decides to "turn evil" seems like he/she would have a greater reason to "stay good". If Dad wasn't watching it with me I would've yelled: What just happened?!
Final Thoughts
I love this movie but it does have its fair share of problems. Would I watch this again? Why yes I would. I also plan to watch the original Coma as well as read the book in the future.

Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: After the Fall 4
I had been working on the farm for a few hours. I imagined Yomosa lying next to me in bed just to make it through the day. I had no choice but to let myself be affected by the heat like a regular human. And humans couldn't deal with heat like I could normally.
While I thought about taking the day off I realized that I couldn't. While these humans didn't want me here I had to repay them in some form. And if they had decided it was by working on the farm, so be it.
Finally I was given some interesting work when I was told to kill a rooster. This was due to it not acting nicely to a fellow rooster. Plus, it was meat that the village wanted above all else. The rooster looked at me and realized I wasn't human. So it went to attack me.
It was almost like a mortal attacking a goddess. After a few pecks I was able to cut its head off. I didn't allow the blood coming out to go onto me. Though I allowed a smile when I knew it was dead. Looking out of the doorway I saw a fellow worker eye me oddly.
I would like to describe what I meant by that but I couldn't, not if I wanted to. It was just odd. I didn't know if it was that I couldn't read humans that well or if it actually meant something.
When lunch came I was able to eat alone with Yomosa. I looked around to make sure that no one would over hear us.
"What is it, Rig?" She asked.
"There was an odd incident when I killed a rooster today." I replied.
"Oh, come on, you're still alive aren't you?"
"Sometimes enemies strike slowly and take their times. My enemies can live for millenia."
"Come off it. Who would be after you?"
"The goddess Akumie."
"Never heard of her."
"She isn't one of the big ones." I said and we remained silent for a few minutes to make sure we weren't being observed.
"So, what did you do to piss her off?" Yomosa asked when she could.
"Said I loved her just to have sex." I replied and she slapped me. Luckily another slap didn't soon follow that one and I was able to finish my work on the farm.
Going back to our room at evening we were joking around. We opened our door expecting to find our room uninhabited and ready for some play. Whether it would be sexual or not was yet to be seen. We just had to go through the door.
Going through the door revealed it the room to be torn apart. It looked like a demon had torn through it and left in anger at not finding its prey. Had Akumie done it? Or had the villagers done it to get us out quicker?
"Don't worry." Yomosa told me. But I had to worry. For both of our sake's.
