何を読んでるの？まじキモい！

So for the final assignment in my Medieval Japanese course, we were allowed to do another creative piece~

I really wanted to break from the confines of reality and add a dash of the fantastic to the muromachi period. Thankfully, there are plenty of tales of kami, mononoke and youkai to go around! 

So, if a kemonomimi kirino isn't enough of a giveaway, lets get right to it! 

D-Don't get any ideas, ok! I just happen to be showing you this, that's all!

Neko-Mimi and Twintails? まじきもい！

So, its not like I like you guys or anything, or wanted to show this to you. I just happened to have it and my hand slipped, so, like... don't read into it or anything, baka...

Awww who am I kidding, I love you guys! This was an assignment for my 3rd year Medieval Japanese History course. I had to write a short story that accurately depicted warrior life in the Kamakura period, and make it both entertaining as well as indicative of the period. I did pretty well on it, but personally I was a bit unsatisfied. It was shorter than I'd have liked, and a bit too shallow.

But the dialogue wasn't bad, and some of the scenes turned out pretty decently I think. Due to poor planning, I wrote it start to finish is just over a day >_>... not the ideal spot to be in, but hey, it worked out!

Never the less, Just thought I'd chronicle it here for the time being. Let me know what you think!

Also, in the not distant future I'll be writing another piece, hopefully longer and more fleshed out also from a similar pre-sengoku period. This time though it'll be rife with kami and all manner of spirits and speak to the heavy superstition among the people at the time - think mononoke hime! 楽しんでね～
