Identification: Archangel Barton

Alias: Shine-mon (the SenRu-mons call me differently *like something with my real name on it* so I thought, what's the use of 'alias' if my name is on it, ne? But it's really really cute) - I'm the SenRu-mon assassin! I'm also Bubbleskee Kuma of AK Zoo.

Howl: Who art thou who dare mock SenRuSen? Die in agony! Bwahahahaha…

Residence: Sendoh Akira's Closet and sometimes in his bathroom - Okay, yeah right, uh-huh…fine! I live in the land of… gosh, I forgot what 'land of what' I'm from… but it's the Philippines - there you go.

Mortality: 19 (I will turn 20 after 14 days)…

Dream: Spread SenRuSen Love. Have lots of money. Get that Cum Laude. The 'Asian Tour' my mom promised me if I get what I just mentioned. Deep Purple and Anamorphosis. A supahcomputah, cable TV/internet. Dub a 'sexual' (and yes I said sexual!) animé/whatever series with Koyasu Takehito. Porsche/BMW Convertible. That one day, Sendoh Akira will just pop out of my TV - and I swear to whomever there is to swear upon - I will engage in pre-marital affairs! *oooh, gets that glare from Kaede*

Ambition: I just want to be remembered for the things I've done with my life - no matter how naughty or inspiring it had been. I want to be a… a… oozingly beautiful professional in this so f***ing hard field I've dedicated my whole life into.

Grunt: f***, f***s***, damn, dammit, grrr and grrrrrrr!

Obsessions: SenRuSen, Sendoh Akira, Rukawa Kaede, Animé, Prin's Doujinshis, Koyasu Takehito, Sendoh Akira, Sendoh Akira… Sendoh Akira… Sendoh Akira…SENDOH AKIRA!!!! *faints*

Q: Why do you like SenRu?

Do I need a reason for this? Actually, I have no reasons at all on why I love - not like - SenRu… I just simply do!

The first time I saw Sendoh and Rukawa kissing on my PC is just indescribable. The chemistry was so intense that it was so perfect. And I need not think about the whys or the hows of their being together in that picture. I just loved it and I just loved them.

The SenRuSen pairing is nothing short of perfection for me. It's a very flexible pairing without one of them losing their character, not one of them losing their personalities. In fact, it is through this pairing that I learned to discover and love both Sendoh and Rukawa's deeper personalities.

Sendoh Akira is for Rukawa Kaede and Rukawa Kaede is solely for Sendoh Akira (I wish I could butt in, but… let's just say I gave way) because it is only Sendoh who could affect Rukawa so much just as Rukawa did on Sendoh. And from there came the spark, the fire and the passion that I love so much about SenRuSen.

Q: How far would you go for SenRu?

I will kill those who dare mock my SenRuSen! Is that far enough?

Q: Why do you think that Sendoh and Rukawa are the ones for each other?

Simple. It is only Rukawa who had such grave effect that brought out the true Sendoh Akira and it is only Sendoh Akira who had the power to bring something out of Rukawa Kaede. The fact that they compliment each other's personalities make them so 'for each other', it's nothing but perfection… broad as daylight. Plus passion? It's as hot as it can get. And the love? Undeniable. And besides, it's purely evident - Sendoh + Rukawa is logical. Now who could beat that?

Q: Are you a Rukawa person or a Sendoh Person? Elaborate.

I'm more of a Sendoh person. Why…I just feel like Sendoh! *faints* Well when I write my fics and I write it in a Sendoh POV, its better, because for some reason, I can relate to him big time *aki shows her muscles*.

Kidding aside, I see myself as totally unpredictable that even I myself am surprised. I also share Sendoh's depth in the view of life (he seems to contemplate a lot while fishing, okay and I call that view of life so sue me), his occasional laziness (if you call that occasional), and the mystery, his unknown and well kept privacy. I may seem to be a carefree-jolly-jumping-bunny, I talk way much especially when we talk about Sendoh Akira and stuff like that but hell, I have my own share of agony that I don't let others see. I have my own share of death. I have my own share of distress. I have my well kept tears and I have that high pride only a few people can reach. And despite the smile *yeah, I smile a lot*, I have a lot of dark whatevers in my life too. And read this: I look at my reflection in every reflecting surface I gaze upon - yes, I'm vain, I'm narcissistic. And most of all, I know I suck at writing lemon fics so I don't dare to post whatever I have here in my pocket but the thing with Sendoh and me is that I can be so hentai too, but you know… I just smile.

And I know what I just said there was completely 'like what?', let's just put it this way… I believe I'm more of a Sendoh person because I want to be a Sendoh person and that is number 1 in 'You Know You're Obsessed with Sendoh Akira When…'. Yep…

Q: Follow up question... who do you like better? Sendoh or Rukawa?

As clear as meltwater - I totally, absolutely, entirely and completely love - not merely like - Sendoh Akira. I love Rukawa too, I swear - in fact, I loved him first before I realized my heart belongs to Sendoh Akira *received the glare from Rukawa* Okay, okay… but Sendoh's mystery, the passion in his eyes, his unthinkable desire, the godly looks, the maturity and of course, the hentai-ness is for me, too hot to handle. Gomen ne, Neko-mon I know you fight for the fact that Rukawa has the strongest sex appeal in the world of animé but… but… for me, I really think it's Sendoh because let's just say I view him as more experienced *for whatever that means* - because in every move, I see seduction and he does that so perfectly that I'm so in love - and you guys know how much love I have for Sendoh, right? But really, I do love Rukawa too *Neko-mon strangles Shine-mon*

Just when I though my webmistressing days are gone with the wind and crashed on the rocks - no, no, no… I missed the job and if it's for SenRu, I love it.

This is my ultimate fandom dream - create a site on a real domain - more so some 'senrusen dot net', man this is so great! Meltwater is so precious to me since it's the mixture of great powers - neko-mon, simple-mon, steffie-mon and aki-mon (and okay, me) combined to create the official (read: official) fan site for senrusen. And that's the reason we call our alliance as 'alliance - the axis power' since all our resources is invested on this for *dun dun dundun* the love of SenRuSen.

This is… again, a dream come true… a sight to behold… a treasure to keep. For in Meltwater, not only did our love for what we believe in strengthened but friendships were planted on deeper grounds and sisterhood was formed to last forever.

Aki Midori a.k.a (b)aki-mon

(B)aki-mon is the greatest retard I've ever known. great because she's an extraordinary writer and all that, she's a lit goddess for all you know… and she's a retard simply because... let's just say she's born that way! But her being retard is the best thing about her, its weird but she's the coolest retard that ever walked on Earth! Aki, you bring colors in a black and white landscape and that is your gift. I'm fortunate to have known you because I learn a lot from the things you do and the things you show us. I've never known someone who had that much passion in writing who's entirely willing to change the world of literature with a single pen and paper and you inspired me a lot from that. Thank you!

Chache Koneko a.k.a. neko-mon

She's our country's seiyuu goddess. The ultimate Hanamichi slayer and front liner in cases of SenRu wars. She's the first person that I have seen that is so into SenRu she'll go directly into the enemy's base and give out SenRu bombs! If you need some in-depth SenRu as in to the minutest detail, there goes neko-mon for you. But beneath that fighter in her lies a sweet sweet sister that helps penniless doujinshi-dreamers like me, but really, she's ultra sweet and helpful and loving just like a real sister. Well not to mention of course, the hand that makes Sendoh sexier than what's merely sexy, you know. And that same hand that makes Rukawa more passionate in a whole lot of ways… well, neko-mon, thanks for a whole lot of things - for the concern of why the hell I was out for such a long time, for the helping hand, for the milkshake, the taxi ride and the love for SenRu that you so intensely fight for. You inspire me a lot to fight for what I believe in and to always strive for perfection. Thank you for the encouragements and the words of wisdom you have given me. And even if life has been a bitch for all of us, you stood there unwavering and that gives me strength as well. Thank you!

Simply Kim a.k.a Simple/Kim-mon

She's the first to laugh and the last to stop laughing. She sheds tears for bastardized bishies and fights for the right of Tezuka to be acknowledge in his own cute ways. She growls for the spirit of SenRu. She writes a whole lot of angst and has way too creative ideas that my poor neurons can't think of, but hell, she's one of the authors I respect so deeply that I'm having an ultra hard time making summaries for her divine fics… awww, man! But among all of us, she's the simplest, really. For me, simple-mon is the easiest to be with since she just goes with the flow of things, if you smile, she'll smile back, if you rant about worthless fics on the net, she'll rant with you. And just like that she goes with the flow of things and people too - because she's the Philippines' Ryouga counterpart! Simple-mon, thank you for your friendship and come on, you deserve my friendship big time! Thanks for inspiring me with the things you write and for amazing my neurons to different heights. Thanks for sharing my agony on Sendoh/Rukawa paring with somebody else and the trash I read on some sites. Thanks for the encouragement and support you give to my fics and to me as a person. And you know what, I saw who Tezuka is just now and I think he looks great too *gets a glare from neko-chan*…Thank you!

Mitsui no Miko a.k.a Steffie-mon

She is the first author in intense kiss and I will never ever forget that. Although she's been out for quite sometime, the friendship remained and for me, my impression of her being this silent but wild - meaning she's always poised but deep inside she's like screaming SenRu - SenRu fanatic still remains intact. And even if I only saw her once way way back, I missed her spirit in the fandom and yeah, what a comeback! Steff, thanks for the friendship from way back and like everybody else, I missed your presence and the SenRu spirit. And really, if I have one fic where I memorized the different chapter titles, it would be Falling and it helped me make my first ever Slam Dunk fic. Your writings burned the writer in me and this is now what I have become. Thank you!
