Even though there's a YYH one, still putting this under fantasy... even though 3/4 are FOR my YYH fanfictions. ... BITE ME.

Now that that's settled, let's get down to descriptions by panel, seeing as two of them have little excerpts on them.

1. Isn't really anything but something I had on the top of my head. Vincent, being the pirate that he is, drinks his rum religiously. So, when the last bottle vanishes, he get's a little... testy.

2. I wanted an opportunity to draw the marking's on Shakaku's back. Symbols of where her wings grow when summoned. The story popped in my head along with it. If you haven't been paying much attention to her character, you won't know who the other one is that's talking. Though you will if you move on to panel 3.
"You won't be gone long this time... right?"
"I really hope not."
"It gets cold, when you're not here."
"I know... There's nothing I can do though..."
"Come home as soon as you can."
"I will. Just make the bed as warm as you can when I return."
"You big goofball... I love you."
"I love you too. Get some sleep, alright?"
"Yeah..."
I'll always be there for you.

3. Panel 3 was supposed to be a full-page idea for part of Shakaku's fight in the finals, but I couldn't help drawing part of it below. And fuck off that Yusuke sucks. Freehand I'm not too good at when it comes to certain characters.
"What business is it of yours to know about my personal life?" Sha snarled at Sasori.
"I'm merely saying that the poison must have helped immensity. What was it like? Being totally submissive for five hours?"
Shooting a quick worried glance at her friends, noting their surprise, she answered, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh? You really don't remember the poison that I was going to rape you with? That aphrodisiac was enough to make you forget about normal speech, and only be able to beg for more."
She growled and took a defensive step back. "At least it ended up being with the man I love, and not some scumbag like you."
"Is that true, Hiei?" Yusuke asked, then noted the fire demon's angry gaze.
"You heard it for yourself that day. There was nothing either one of us could do apart from work it out of her system." He growled low in his throat. "Just attempting to touch her like that is a death sentence I wish I could deal out." He winced at the pain in his shoulder.
Yusuke held a look of disgust. "He saw both the ring on her finger and the mark on her nack, and still chose her out of the two single females here?" They watched as Sha took the defensive, creating a thin barrier. "More importantly, near everyone in both Demon and Spirit World knows of your temper, making it more suspicious to go after her over, say, Hyouga, who has no one to help protect her at the moment." Noting the dog's glare, he held his hands up. "Nothing bad by it, Hyou, just an example."
"Unless he wanted to provoke my anger," Hiei said. "Though the reasoning behind why is what I don't know."

4. Just a simple sketch of Kitsu Shiori, the vixen of Sha's team. Had never really done anything for her solo, so bam.
