Prices are very low, the images are stunning and you won't find them anywhere, since the booklets out of print (most were printed in limited numbers too). They're in Japanese, so maybe you won't be able to read them, but in my opinion the drawings say it all &amp;lt;3 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information, please read &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://melitot-pd.livejournal.com/8386.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small"&gt;.

La mansarda del collegio Cross era sempre deserta, la finestra celata da pesanti tendaggi; nessuno sarebbe venuto a visitare quelle stanze fredde a mezzanotte, soprattutto in una notte di nebbia. I dormitori apparivano una meta molto pi&amp;ugrave; ragionevole, confortevole e accogliente.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Nessuno, pertanto, li avrebbe sorpresi.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;&amp;laquo;Il ballo sar&amp;agrave; finito, ormai&amp;raquo; disse Zero, baciandola sul collo ― proprio l&amp;agrave; dove, pochi attimi prima, l&amp;rsquo;aveva morsa. &amp;laquo;Dovremmo controllare che rientrino tutti.&amp;raquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;&amp;laquo;Non m&amp;rsquo;importa. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ah&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;&amp;hellip;&amp;raquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Come avrebbe potuto importarle, mentre era l&amp;igrave; con lui, vicina a lui, e la sua mano inesperta ma dolce risaliva lentamente sotto il vestito?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Una breve risata.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;&amp;laquo;Cosa?&amp;raquo; mormor&amp;ograve; nel suo petto.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;&amp;laquo;Yuuki, sei dannosa al mio senso di responsabilit&amp;agrave;&amp;hellip; perch&amp;eacute; non importa neanche a me.&amp;raquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;E quando lei, raddrizzatasi un poco, vide il divertimento nei suoi occhi malinconici, non ebbe affatto paura dell&amp;rsquo;ombra rossa che ancora vi aleggiava. Non l&amp;rsquo;avrebbe temuta mai pi&amp;ugrave;.

E magari anche qualche abitudine, qualche modo di dire, chi lo sa? Sarebbe bello scoprirlo. Vedere cosa &amp;egrave; veramente di Zero e cosa delle persone che ha incontrato, che lo hanno cresciuto, conosciuto in quel tempo di cui io non so niente. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Come lui ha rielaborato nel suo modo inconfondibile quelle nozioni. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Ma non ora. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Perch&amp;eacute; quest&amp;rsquo;uomo ― questo Yagari Toga ― gli ha sparato. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Ha puntato il fucile, cos&amp;igrave;, contro la sua schiena, e premuto il grilletto.

Per questo, dopo tale scoperta ― e alla luce di tutte le intime, esaltanti esperienze dei morsi, quando la stringeva a s&amp;eacute; o la guardava dritta negli occhi, spaventato ma anche affascinato dalla possibilit&amp;agrave; che lei &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;&lt;i&gt;capisse&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; ― non avrebbe mai creduto di poterla ritrovare cos&amp;igrave;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;All&amp;rsquo;improvviso, un&amp;rsquo;intuizione.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Kuran.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Che quel purosangue&amp;hellip; le avesse parlato?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Che le avesse detto quel che aveva gi&amp;agrave; esternato piuttosto chiaramente anche a lui, Zero Kiryuu, la notte dopo la cacciata degli emissari del Senato?

Una cortina fitta, densa, ma non sferzante ricopre il bosco, in una marcia fredda e dolente. Come le dita morse dal gelo, come il fiato che sale ― perdendosi ― verso la grigia volta celeste, la notte si muove senza rumore. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Si accendono alcune luci nella casa: suoni di passi, suoni di voci, suoni di primi approcci. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;E, fuori, sul fianco della collina, Kaname Kuran ricorda. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Ricorda un&amp;rsquo;altra notte, scesa sei anni prima, mentre nevicava in modo non molto diverso da adesso; la notte in cui, tempestivo assassino, ha salvato la vita a una bambina, &amp;ldquo;Yuuki Cross&amp;rdquo;. Una cosetta piccola, intirizzita e indifesa. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Soprattutto davanti a uno spettacolo come &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;quello&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Poi un&amp;rsquo;orfana accolta in casa dal direttore. E, dopo ancora, l&amp;rsquo;unica oasi di pace per un ingabbiato come lui. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Allora chiude gli occhi e ascolta pacificamente il proprio respiro, indifferente al ghiaccio. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Vuole vederla. Vuole parlarle e assicurarsi che stia bene. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Gli basterebbe anche avvicinarsi a una finestra, per controllare da lontano. Lo ha fatto tante volte. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Vorrebbe sentirsi meno solo, anche soltanto per un attimo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Ma sa che stasera non deve. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Non&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: Verdana"&gt; pu&amp;ograve;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;, perch&amp;eacute; nel loro cerchio &amp;egrave; entrato un nuovo prigioniero ― una figuretta pallida e amara, guidata con cura dal direttore lungo il sentiero cosparso di sale, e dotata ormai, per osservare il mondo, di occhi che hanno visto la morte. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Si somigliano, lui e Zero Kiryu. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Si somigliano molto, pi&amp;ugrave; di quanto desidererebbe, ma anche pi&amp;ugrave; di quanto possa ignorare; poich&amp;eacute; la prigionia &amp;egrave; un mostro bifronte che Kaname conosce bene. Pu&amp;ograve; essere fisica, pu&amp;ograve; essere mentale&amp;hellip; e loro possiedono &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;entrambe&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Oscure catene ai loro piedi; un pugnale per sempre conficcato nel petto. La parola che si rifiuta di uscire. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Fratelli nella sventura, dunque? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Spezza un ramo di pino. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Ah no, questo no. Questo mai. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Perch&amp;eacute; oggi Kiryu riceve &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;lei&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Oggi quel ragazzo prende il posto che Kaname ha sognato per tanti, tanti anni ― un letto e una sedia e una parola sincera nella casa senza inferriate, senza occhi che scrutano dalle tele dei quadri, senza traccia d&amp;rsquo;atmosfera formale. Potr&amp;agrave; muoversi e respirare e magari anche addormentarsi accanto a Yuuki, tranquillo, davanti a uno schermo spento&amp;hellip; due bambini non dimenticati, ma custoditi in silenzio dalle premure di un padre. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;In questo momento, Kaname sa di far torto a un altro prigioniero. Certo questi &amp;egrave; ancora sveglio, stanco ma in vigile attesa del suo ritorno, preoccupato che il nonno o qualcun altro li scopra. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;S&amp;igrave;, sa benissimo di avere un amico fidato, fedele e fratello che lo aspetta. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Ma stanotte vuole solo essere invidioso. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Scruta ancora le finestre, rigate dal gelo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Sarebbe davvero una disgrazia morire giovani, dopo aver tanto ricevuto? Non crede. No. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;E, alzandosi per far ritorno a una casa molto meno desiderata, nel cogliere oltre le tende illuminate due sagome familiari, gi&amp;agrave; vicine, si chiede se un po&amp;rsquo; del calore di quella famiglia filtrer&amp;agrave; ancora a lui. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Ancora una volta, ancora per poco. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;Prima della grande parata dei &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;prigionieri&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Verdana" /&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

S&amp;rsquo;era impegnata a recuperare l&amp;rsquo;Innocenza e gli altri, Conte compreso, avevano considerato il suo piccolo viaggio come un capriccio (uno dei tanti). Dopotutto, anche se era la fredda, orgogliosa primogenita, il suo corpo e la sua mente erano rimasti giovani. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Times New Roman" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman"&gt;Certe notti Rhode rabbrividiva al pensiero che quella fosse la loro vera opinione. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Times New Roman" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman"&gt;Lei non era piccola. Non era impulsiva. Non conosceva ingenuit&amp;agrave;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Times New Roman" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman"&gt;E loro non dovevano crederlo, perch&amp;eacute;, se un giorno avesse ceduto e deciso di tradirli, voleva che fossero preparati. Soprattutto il Conte. A chi non lo conosceva appariva tanto forte, impenetrabile, indistruttibile, ma lei sapeva la verit&amp;agrave;. L&amp;rsquo;aveva visto &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: Times New Roman"&gt;piangere&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman"&gt; quando l&amp;rsquo;arca originaria era crollata&amp;hellip; Il voltafaccia di un altro No&amp;egrave; l&amp;rsquo;avrebbe distrutto; e lei&amp;hellip; lei camminava al suo fianco dall&amp;rsquo;inizio; di lei si fidava ciecamente. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Times New Roman" /&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: Times New Roman"&gt;Heh.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Times New Roman" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman"&gt;L&amp;rsquo;ironia non and&amp;ograve; perduta. C&amp;rsquo;era un altro, infatti, che aveva goduto di tanta fiducia in passato. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Times New Roman" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman"&gt;I segreti di quella persona restavano nascosti e disonesti tuttora; tutti tranne uno. Rhode, che l&amp;rsquo;aveva conosciuto e odiato pi&amp;ugrave; di chiunque altro per il suo tradimento, ebbe voglia di piangere quando vide i suoi occhi guardarla da quelli di Allen Walker. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: Times New Roman" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman"&gt;Perch&amp;eacute;?

Joseph &amp;egrave; disteso sul prato. Joseph &lt;i&gt;respira&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;E mi guarda.&lt;br /&gt;Dio, grazie! I suoi occhi hanno smesso di allontanarsi. Nelle sue guance torna colore.&lt;br /&gt;Mi appoggio a un braccio e ricambio il suo sguardo, poi mi torna in mente Steven.&lt;br /&gt;Steven ha cercato di ucciderlo; mi avrebbe avuta anche al prezzo dell&amp;rsquo;assassinio. Ma non me l&amp;rsquo;ha sottratto e ora, per sua estrema umiliazione, &amp;egrave; il sorriso un po&amp;rsquo; storto e rassegnato di un contadino a ricevere la mia promessa. S&amp;igrave;. Ce l&amp;rsquo;abbiamo fatta. Ci sei riuscito, Joseph. Hai la tua terra&amp;hellip; e avrai me.&lt;br /&gt;All&amp;rsquo;improvviso me ne rendo conto: &amp;egrave; finita.&lt;br /&gt;I travagli, le speranze e l&amp;rsquo;incertezza dei giorni irlandesi non esistono pi&amp;ugrave;.

Mai come ora vi sento lontane.&lt;br /&gt;Chiss&amp;agrave;, forse torner&amp;ograve;, un giorno. Con Joseph. &amp;laquo;Io appartengo all&amp;rsquo;Irlanda!&amp;raquo; mi grid&amp;ograve; quel giorno, indignato. Vagare fianco a fianco nelle nebbie, sulle piane verdi, col vento che ulula dalle fessure delle scogliere... Ma offriranno i miei il viaggio ― non voglio di nuovo portarci sfortuna.&lt;br /&gt;Rido un poco.&lt;br /&gt;Joseph, che carezza leggermente l&amp;rsquo;erba piegata, inarca le sopracciglia.&lt;br /&gt;Ah, il suo sorriso.&lt;br /&gt;Lui sar&amp;agrave; il mio amore in terra straniera. Nella nostra terra, dove gli alberi crescono in riva al fiume e l&amp;rsquo;erba &amp;egrave; pettinata dal vento, proprio come avevamo desiderato quella notte, sotto la coltre di Natale, costruiremo il nostro futuro. Ed io entrer&amp;ograve; nella sua casa come sposa.&lt;br /&gt;Ah, come aborrivo l&amp;rsquo;idea del matrimonio, una volta! Ci sarebbe stato Steven all&amp;rsquo;altare. Ma ora non pi&amp;ugrave;.&lt;br /&gt;E posso gi&amp;agrave; immaginare la reazione di mia madre: &lt;i&gt;&amp;laquo;Sposarlo&lt;/i&gt;?

Vivo in America? Qui tutto &amp;egrave; possibile! E qui vivr&amp;ograve;, insieme all&amp;rsquo;uomo che amo, affrontando le difficolt&amp;agrave; che verranno con la consapevolezza di non aver tradito i miei sogni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questo mi ripete Joseph, mentre il vento strappa dalle mie mani il pomposo velo della mamma, e io rido. &lt;br /&gt;Ecco, sono arrivata alla fine del viaggio.&lt;br /&gt;O, piuttosto, &lt;i&gt;all&amp;rsquo;inizio&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0.9cm; margin-right: 0.88cm"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 class="western" align="center" style="margin-left: 0.9cm; margin-right: 0.88cm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: smaller"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FINE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;br /&gt;I stumbled upon the umpteenth replay of &lt;em&gt;The Mummy 2&lt;/em&gt; on tv... again. And again I set to watch it, out of complete boredom and lack of anything better.&lt;br /&gt;Good grief. They really didn't know how to make the movie go on 'till the end, did they? -_- What a load of crap...&lt;br /&gt;*turns off tv*&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">I hope everyone is having serene holidays.&lt;br /&gt;Right now I'm stuck between schoolwork and a huge writing compulsion - which leads me to fanfiction... Ruroken fiction, actually. I hope not to die of exhaustion...&lt;br /&gt;It happens when you want to do more than you can civilly&amp;nbsp;manage.</content>
