that's right... it takes little to no effort to distract my muses....I was just amused that it was the muse who was having such a hard time digesting the Tezuka-Oishi from before who was upset. ^.^ She does so hate breaking up a romance, you see. Still, I think I might have mentioined before that I thought a Tezuka-Fuji pairing was coming from this Rikkai arc, and I'm so glad to see you try it. It works beautifully.

And you know, even without knowing about the Challenge series, I think this would be a great Fuji-Tezuka story. You should post it to tenipuri500 for the water challenge! ^__^ tee hee hee...

Ooooh... I did sort of forget that you were writing a possible continuation for Akaya... oh, yummy. I am so looking forward to it. ^___^

And yes, Tezuka most definitely promised Fuji a next time.
