I'm not kidding I looked at the word count when I was finished and was like :shock: It has a total 8,047 words in it ... that doesn't include what I am typing now, but I put about 5 hours of writing into this, and chances are maybe one or two people will read the entire thing, if that many. If you do read it, I applaud you for sitting through it.
So without further ado
The Life of Maikeru
Birth of Greatness
It was a dark, stormy morning as the winds of fate were about to allow the greatest thing in the history of the universe to happen, the birth of Maikeru. Seriously it was a dark and stormy night, that wasn’t just made up to increase the quality of the story, but I digress that has nothing to do with the what I am speaking of. It was a dark, stormy … you know what skip that part. It was May 14th, 1990 that the world had the first good thing to happen to it, and it was very close to not coming to be. In May, over a month after his due date Maikeru was finally introduced into the world. That’s not a lie, at birth Maikeru was supposed to have died along with his mother, but amazingly they both survived. He had to be brought into the world via c-section the sky showed it’s remorse with rain symbolizing the tears, and the lightning symbolizing the fear of the world that two glorious lives could be taken away. Maikeru was the first born of three children whose names will not be mentioned. At birth, Maikeru had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck three times and was born black because of that. Although barely having any breath in him, he survived what could have easily killed him. The first person to hold Maikeru was his father, and his mother was about the last person to get to hold him, which made his mother very mad.
The Toddler Years
Throughout the ages of his toddler years, Maikeru was a relatively quiet child, didn’t make as much noise as most children, and he didn’t even like to get messy. On his first birthday, his mother had to literally smear some cake on his face to just get a picture of him being dirty. Whenever, he went to the park, he would always brush sand off of him because it made him unclean. Maikeru created a very strong bond with his grandmother, and was considered by the family as her favorite grandchild, not necessarily that his grandmother didn’t love her other grandchildren, but that Maikeru and his grandmother were very close even with Maikeru at such a young age. She was the one who got him into the “Land Before Time” movies and taught him everything his parents did not. She was the brightest star in this young childs life, and to this day Maikeru still collects the “Land Before Time“ movies in memory because of his dear grandmother (Love you Maw-Maw). Maikeru had his other fair shares of adventures one being that of almost dying at the age of 4 when he was hospitalized for a week when he had a temperature of 104.2 degrees, and many other symptoms including vomiting, yet again Maikeru escaped with his life. He was raised in a Pentecostal Church, learning the story of Jesus from his various pastors. At the age of 3, Maikeru made his first prayer which included just wishing that everyone in the world could be happy. Maikeru was reading at the age of 2, and solving math problems at the age of 3, yet could not enter Kindergarten because he was not yet old enough. At Age 3, he was however allowed into a private school learning the word of God where his mother was a teacher of a Pre-K class. At Age 4, also did something that is still remembered in his old church, he sang his first song in church which was none other than the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” theme song. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles along with the Mighty Morphin’ Power Ranger where Maikerus two favorite shows as a toddler. His mother did some things that this day would actually not embarrass him, she stuck him in a dress one day (Thanks Mom! -_-).
Years Of The Elementary
At the Age of 4, Maikeru entered into Kindergarten. This was also the year Maikeru had his first girlfriend, Erica, yes … that is correct at the Age of 4 Maikeru had his first girlfriend, although it didn’t really last very long at that age who could expect it to? Throughout elementary school Maikeru had a very gifted mind where he was ranked in the top of his class making straight As every semester and even taking Grades 1 and 2 within the same year. This was an A school as well, so you can just imagine the excitement of his mother. Besides, for being a very bright child, Maikeru was also a troublemaker. He would wind out in the principals office almost every day for various things, mostly for practicing karate at Recess with his classmates. He was the provoker of these acts, if you went to play tag with him he would practice his karate while running around. This caused his mother to take him out of the classes at the time he had a green belt. At Age 6, a most special person was brought into Maikerus life, a person whom to this day means more to him than anything in the world. His little sister was born on July 4th, 1996 (Love you Sissy), or as many people know it Independence Day quite ironic considering he was born on Mothers Day. So he and his sister were both born on holidays, his sister ironically being more of indepent child and Maikeru relying more on his mother. At the Age of 6, Maikeru was also moved into a new school which was opened by his church for people in the school system. Nothing much changed with his schooling attitude, he made straight As throughout the two years he was in the school, and was still a big troublemaker. He was forced to write lines every day, usually for flirting with girls who, mostly one who sat right beside him. The thing he got in the most trouble for at school, which to this day is one of the two most shameful things for him to admit is when he chased his little crush down at Recess and kissed her on the forehead, and what makes it even more sad is the fact that all the other children in his class chased he with him until he got her cornered, that was at the Age of 7. The other shameful thing happened in the very next year of his life, at Age 8, he had grabbed some hard candy from on top of the refrigerator and gave a piece to his 2 year old little sister and himself. Then while horsing around he ran into her in the middle of the hallway causing his sister to start choking on her piece. His mother ran out of her room called her husband, Maikerus father, yet by the time he had gotten there, she had gotten the piece of candy out of her mouth. Maikerus father speeded 110 mph all the way to the house he was so worried about her, and Maikeru in shame went in his room to cry. His mother and father comforted him yet grounded him at the same time, and as always his grandmother comforted him as well.
Death Of One Most Dear
The year of 1999, Maikerus second 5th grade year was also one of the saddest years of his life. Maikeru, although making straight As again in his first 5th grade year decided to take 5th grade again. Not because he wasn’t ready for 6th grade but because he was being enrolled into a public school and didn’t want to jump straight into Middle School. However, what made this the saddest year of his life was that fateful day on November 20th, 1999. His dear grandmother passed away in a car accident. She was hit by a truck driver who didn’t have his lights on during a foggy morning at around 7 AM, she was hit no more than a quarter of a mile from her house, his grandfather, had already planned out a special day for his grandmother, but never got to have it. Maikeru was hit hard by this death, and to this day it remains the worst moment of his life, she was the one who Maikeru was closest too, and now she no longer here, and at the Age of 9, that’s not something you just get over, at the Age of 19, it’s not even something you can just get over. He mourned for his dear grandmother, after being taken out of his class early that day. It hurt him more than could possibly be imagined, and for the next 4 years of his life Maikeru began his coming of age, when he realized the world was cruel, he cried over his dear grandmother many times over the next year, and occasionally within the 3 years afterwards. And to this day, the memory of his grandmother still saddens him, sometimes to the point of tears. He spent the most time by his grandmother at her viewing, and his mother and father could feel his pain as they remorse not only for themselves, but for their son as well. To this day, Maikeru has memories of his grandmother, many of which he keeps by collecting what his mother started for him, “Land Before Time” movies. However, to even begin to try and describe them when put me in tears. I love you Maw-Maw and I will never forget you.
Public School: Grade 5 And Best Friend Meeting
After the death of his grandmother, Maikeru began to not care as much about his grades, and many people say he caught “senioritis” at the age of 9. He was still smart, but no longer tried hard to make good grades. In his second 5th grade year, which was now in a C school, he made 3 As and 4 Bs, the worst report card for him, at that point. His mother and father believe, the passing of his grandmother is the reason he didn’t care about grades anymore since she taught him so much. And Maikeru himself even agrees with that statement. He became less of a troublemaker though, only having one ISS throughout his second 5th grade year. He was less rowdy, and more quiet, innocent, and calm. That year was also the year he met his best friend, whom to this day is still his best friend, even though he is in the Marines now. He met him on his soccer team, when he joined for the YMCA, where Maikeru played every position except goalie. At that point, his best friend became the new person he spent the most time with. They hung out a lot, and his best friend was also the person who brung him out of the world of being a die-hard Christian and got him to live a little. For instance, throughout Maikerus first 9 years of life, he was restricted from pretty much anything. He couldn’t watch Gargoyles, Invader Zim, Futurama, Harry Potter, Pokemon, Digimon, and many other things. One day, when he was almost 10, his new best friend sat him down and had him watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, which is where Maikeru started loving Harry Potter stuff, movies, books, etc… and to this day Maikeru still waits for the new Harry Potter movies to be released. At the age of 10, is when Maikeru started converting his Mom into not being so uptight about religion, he brung the first Harry Potter movie home, and had her watch it. After the movie, his mother looked and said, “This is what I had you restricted from? What is wrong with this?” This is where his mother stopped being a puppet for the Church and started getting to a point where she formulated her own opinion on everything. This is also where, Maikerus restrictions on entertainment started being lifted. Also, during this year, Maikeru made what at that point was his 4th girlfriend, which he met at a dance studio where he was taking clogging classes, however, by sheer stupidity Maikeru let her get away.
Middle School
6th Grade was a fairly calm year again for Maikeru, he spent most of the time hanging out with his best friend and making all As and Bs on his report cards. This was the first year Maikeru had a clean slate on his record, not getting punished for any wrongdoings. It’s also the year he developed his crush that lasted longest. Up until his 10th grade year, in fact he had a crush on her. But at that time, he was too afraid to speak to her because he didn’t know what she say, that and the fact that he had bad memories particularly of his last girlfriend where he felt he wasn’t good enough to have a girlfriend. This is also the year that Maikeru began writing, he wrote his first short story, a 10 page, 6 chapter book about a mummy which got him and a hundred for his assignment in his English class. Also in this year, Maikeru had come to a point where he had to choose between soccer and staying at the dance studio. He had decided to take not only clogging, but jazz and funk as well, but it would interfere with his soccer time so Maikeru decided to stick with soccer. The 7th grade year was the year Maikeru got in the most trouble, he moved with his father to Tampa to get away from all the drama in his own life, just to be put in drama anyways. He lived with his father, step mom, and sister. He was also enrolled into a new middle school. However, this is what got him in most trouble. He skipped every chance he could, in fact he may have not eve averaged going to school one day a week. Eventually, his father realized he just missed his old school and was ready to send him back to his mother. Not that, his father didn’t love Maikeru, but so he would take his education seriously. The only thing that held his father back, is who would be Maikerus step father if he went back. After his Mom got rid of that guy though, his father asked Maikeru if he would like to go back to his old school, and Maikeru said, “Yes.” When he got back to his middle school he got 9 silent lunches EVERY semester and would have easily had more, but he knew at 10 he would’ve received ISS and not only been punished at school, but would’ve been grounded as well so he would “clean up his act”. Other than that, this was also a very quiet year for Maikeru, he started making more friends, but for the most part, he kept to himself and only had those select few people he hung out with, this was also the year he became interested in his first manga/anime which everyone knows as Yu-Gi-Oh! It was also the year where he started actually slightly showing his crush that he might be interested in her. 8th grade was the most eventful year of his Middle School life although still not overly eventful. He became obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh! collecting tons and tons of cards, and became a little more open and talkative to everyone. This is the year everyone started realizing just how awesome Maikeru really is, he was friends or acquaintances with everyone who met him. He was still a small bit of a troublemaker, getting a couple silent lunches during the year and once having ISS. Of course the worst thing he did in Middle School he got no consequence for, which was breaking one of his friends legs. As was being said though, he became more open and started showing his crush a little more that he interested in her. However, the time he finally got the nerve to ask her or as he called it “giving her a note” she was already in a relationship. He was now not going to give her the note because of this, but one of his friends took it out of his pocket because of her. This made her boyfriend “mad” at Maikeru. He came over to him with one of his friends had his friend hold him by the arms and pretended to hit Maikeru. He had too much respect and was too good of a friend to actually hurt Maikeru, and when Maikeru asked him, “Why didn’t you really hit me?” He said, “Because I don’t hate you, you’ve always been a good friend and it’s not as if you knew or anything, I was just trying to look cool.” In fact though, it didn’t make him look cool at all, his girlfriend became infuriated with him and dumped him, the very next day she came to talk to Maikeru and make sure everything was okay. Maikeru, of course said, “Yeah, it’s all fine.” and didn’t bring up the note at all. They just chatted for a few minutes and went to down ready for P.E. This was also the year, Maikerus grades started slipping a bit more, as he started to really become interested in girls, of course with that one in particular. This year, he made All Bs except for one A and one C. He still hung out with his best friend a lot. And about a week after that guy broke up with his crush, he walked up to Maikeru and said, “You can have her, here’s her number … give her a call.” Maikeru took the number and that night was ready to give her a call, but everytime he tried he would hang up the phone before she could answer. The one time, he waited for her to answer, and asked if she was home, the girl said to him, “This is her.” And Maikeru couldn’t speak after that, he became very shy, and locked up. She thought he had hung up, so he heard her hang up her phone. And after that Maikeru had a hard time liking or calling anybody he liked which until about 2 years ago he still had problems with it.
The Introduction To High School
High School, hooray!! Surely there will be no drama here, right? Well, not for Maikeru, at least, not a lot of it. 9th Grade was a fun, yet not very eventful year for Maikeru, he had his second year of not getting in trouble for any wrongdoings. He also had his first year of perfect attendance, but it was taken away from him because he was out for “Take your child to work day.” Which the principal specifically said would not hurt Maikerus perfect attendance. 9th grade was the year where Maikeru really started to make friends; he became closer to more people, but was still best friends with his best which was then for 4 years. He still had a crush on that girl, but it was slowly deteriorating seeing as for the first time they didn’t have any classes together, so they stopped talking as little as they used to. His grades went lower 9th grade as he now had his first D in a class, but maintained a 3.5 GPA. By the time 10th grade rolled around he had just about lost his crush on that girl, and just started becoming his own person, this is where Maikeru started to realize exactly who he was … a super sweet, friendly, talkative, advice giving clown. He became friends with a variety of different types of people, “jocks”, “emos”, “punks”, “goths”, “cheerleaders”, it didn’t matter everyone got along with him including all his deans and teachers. In this year, Maikeru also started to realize his love for cosplaying as he decided one day to come to school dressed up in a pirate costume. People then began talking about “The Pirate Boy” except for his better friends who knew him as “Tater Tot”. He actually increased his GPA to 3.7 for that year, and developed one of the biggest crushes he ever had in January of 2006. They actually began dating over the summer, but only for 5 days, May 20th, 2006 to May 24th, 2009.
The Beginning Of Life: Two More Best Friends
During the summer between 10th and 11th is where Maikeru decided to get one of these “myspaces” that were all the rage. He began talking to more and more people from school and gained more and more friends as the time went by. He spoke to his crush almost every day that summer, but he also met two more people who to this day are two of the most important people in his life. Two new best friends, both girls, both cheerleaders and ironically both lived within a quarter of a mile from his house. The first girl he added because he recognized her and thought she might be interesting to talk to, and the second girl, who this day is one of the three closest people to Maikeru, added him because Maikeru added her best friend. They all three became very good friends, and could talk to each other about anything. Maikerus best friend then became good friends with them as well and nowadays are “4 person best friend group”. Amazing how two best friends can meet two other best friends and that wind out happening is it not?
Maikerus Ferret
There was someone else well something else that really caught Maikerus heart over the summer, his baby ferret named Dixie, whom Maikeru called his “Dixie Wixie”. Maikeru grew really close to his ferret spending all his home time playing with her and just having fun with her. Then on one fateful day, Maikerus joy and love for the little ferret turned to sadness and love while watching his DVD of Wrestlemania 21 he found his little “Dixie Wixie” under the couch and she had left this world. To describe exactly what happened to her would put Maikeru in tears to this day. But nonetheless, Maikeru tried and tried to bring his little ferret back to life as tears dripped down his face and nothing he did was able to help her. He cried and cried over her passing not just for a day, but for the entire week he would remember his ferret and cry every day about her. Maikeru then decided to do something in memory of his ferret, and changed of his email addressed. They are all now mylildixiewixie, his hotmail.com, his live.com, his yahoo.com, his aol.com, his gmail.com, and any other email he might have, they are all named in rememberance of what he had lost.
The Girl Fallen Hardest For
The beginning of 11th grade, this was time Maikeru thought his love life was starting to flourish. He continued talking to his crush every day, and they began dating again on August 4th, 2006. They were falling for each other, or at least, Maikeru was falling for her, and thought she was falling for her too, and Maikeru had his first kiss on August 11th, 2006. Maikeru treated her as if there was no one else on the Earth, which although he has toned down on, he still does. However, he started getting in trouble just to see her, he broke the axle on his car by going over a pothole once and was told by his mother to not drive his car that day. However, Maikeru didn’t listen and drove his car down next to his girlfriends house and walked with her to school. His mother infuriated, grounded him for two weeks, which in fact with his mother wound out being more like two days. Maikeru then made one of the bigger mistakes, that he didn’t really consider a mistake, at the time; he skipped 8 days of his fifth period class to go and eat lunch with her although she told him that he should be going to class. He didn’t care though, he was falling for her, and however, it came at a price. He got 8 days of ISS, one for each day he skipped, and this is where things went bad. Maikeru and his girlfriend never argued, but she decided she had to break up with him on September 12th, 2006 because “she was turning him into a troublemaker and she felt like she didn’t deserve him.” He was told he was “too nice” to her, which to this day Maikeru doesn’t see what the problem with that is.
Moving On
The very next day Maikeru had to leave after 5th period because he balled his eyes out at lunch where she was there trying to make him not feel bad himself. This, of course, is the tiem his two best friends really started to shine, they talked to him on MSN and were there to comfort him when he needed them, and they made him feel like he did matter. After a week of a lot of crying, Maikeru, for the most part, got over the crying, but inside was still hurt. For the next three months he couldn’t be with anybody, and he practically shunned any girl who tried to because he wasn’t ready for any of that. He realized he really needed to be more careful when he told a girl he liked her near the end of that 3 months span, but in reality only though of her as a friend when the memories of the past arose again. He felt bad about this and everything else he was going through, this was the second most downing time of Maikerus life.
New Crush: The 1st Best Friend
At the beginning of the second semester Maikeru began to develop a crush on one of the girls he met over the summer, and he began to talk to her a lot. Maikeru of course was oblivious to the fact that she didn’t like him like that because they had never even spoke about it. He had a crush on her for about a month when he decided he was finally going to ask her out. They went for a walk outside at 3 o’clock in the morning to hang out and when they got back to her house, Maikeru built up his courage and finally asked her. The girl, with a look of shock, and a bit of disappointment on her face could only say, “Let me think about it.” Maikeru of course knew in the back of his mind exactly what that meant. She then wrote him a message the next day over myspace telling him, “I’m sorry, but I just don’t see you that way, you’re too nice for me and I don’t deserve you, not that there is any problem, you’re just not the type of guy I like. I’m sorry, but I do want to be friends.” Maikeru comforted and made sure she knew everything was okay and that nothing would happen that would stop them from being friends which made her feel better.
Summer Of Jehovah: Witnessing
As the summer started drawing nearer, Maikeru developed a crush on this cute girl who would sometimes show up in his 5th period class when she was bored. She would come with one of her friends who Maikeru always called “The Candyman” … since he always came with cookies, and let Maikeru have one or two. Music Appreciation class was fun with all that was going on, especially when you get to throw itching powder on everyone. Fun time, fun times!! Anyways, Maikeru found out this new girl he liked was a Jehovahs Witness, and that she only dated other Jehovahs Witnesses because of past experiences. So Maikeru decided he would give the whole Jehovahs Witness thing a chance, he showed up at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovahs Witnesses and was immediately accepted by the people, and his crushs parents, which made Maikeru happy. Over the summer, Maikeru started really getting into the studying and all, while still having a crush on the girl, but just being too shy to say too much to her. Her parents started inviting Maikeru and his mother over for study sessions, so he spent a lot of time around his crush and her family, yet was still shy around her, but did talk a bit. She sparked up a couple conversations, and at times hinted about what a guy would have to do if he was with her. Maikeru felt she was a bit interested to see how good of a guy he was. As the summer drew nearer he found out that she was going to be moving to North Carolina, so Maikeru kind of fell back and let things happen. Not that he didn’t like her, but with her not having any means of communication (no myspace or anything) he decided it wouldn’t work out, so he let her go and eventually closer to the end of the summer slowly drifted out of Kingdom Hall and back into the world. But he still has some general beliefs that he learned from studying the religion.
The Chill Year
With the new school year, approaching and his life becoming a bore, Maikeru had a fairly boring year, seeing as he was now a senior and didn’t want to stay too close to his friends since he figured he wouldn’t know many of them after the end of the year, he spent the first two days in OSS for bringing a fake flintlock to school on the last day of his Junior year. Maikeru acquired his first job at Publix Supercenter as a bag boy working about 15 hours a week, which was good enough for Maikeru, he didn’t need a whole lot of money anyways, seeing as he had already lost his car, and was just working up money to buy a new one. He did extremely well in school his senior year making straight As both semesters and compiling a 4.3 GPA. Amazing, how you can lose senioritis in your senior year, is it not? Over his senior year he created closer friendships with his teachers and the deans, one in particular dean named Mr. Lambert. The first time Mr. Lambert really noticed Maikeru was when he wore caution tape to school and Mr. Lambert said to him, “You know as funny as that is, I have to ask you to get rid of it cause it causes distractions.” And Mr. Lambert laughed as he walked away. Maikeru wore more things that year that kept everyone in the schools interests. He dressed up as a pirate again, a hippie, an oompa loompa, a Florida Gator fan, lots of school spirit days, and even dressed up as a girl one day, even though all the guys tried to look up his skirt. And this is the year he really left his mark on the school, nowadays if you were to walk into Maikerus old school and say that name, “Tater Tot, Mike” everyone would know who you were talking about, the teachers, the deans, even the principal. Everyone knew they were going to miss Maikeru, as time grew nearer you could feel it coming with the joy of Project Grad and Grad Nite. Next came one of the more emotional events of most everyones schooling life, Graduation. This is the place where Mr. Lambert showed his final appreciation for Maikeru, when he shook his hand he told Maikeru, “You were a joy to have in the school, and it’s not going to be the same without you here.” Maikeru grabbed his diploma and was officially a High School Graduate.
Summer Of Preparing
With Maikeru now having graduated from High School, he realized he didn’t have a life anymore so he figured he’d go ahead and take his ACT + Writing Test and CPT so that he could get into a college. When he arrived he found out that he in fact did not have to take the CPT because his grades were good enough that they didn’t need him to take it. But he still took his ACT + Writing, which he didn’t study for and still managed a 24 on, which can get you into most any college when you have the grades Maikeru had. This is also when Maikeru found out his writing was in the Top 2% in the country, statistically speaking. Which was interesting cause he always considered his writing good since he had a lot of positive comments. This is when Maikeru decided he didn’t just want to be a teacher, but wanted to be a writer as well, so he decided those would be the two things he would focus on in college. So he went up to enroll and use his scholarship to get him in easily, along with his grants he would actually gain money. However, the College was really slow so his grants hadn’t cleared yet which made him have to buy his own books until the money came in. He signed up for 4 classes, Freshman English 1, Becoming a Master Student, Intro to Microcomputers, and Teaching to Diverse Populations. Also, during this summer he started developing a crush another new girl when he went to Ocala for vacation with his mother and sister. The sad thing is, although she liked him too they couldn’t really be together or anything because he lived 2 hours away and had no means of transportion, that may not seem like a huge problem, but she also had no myspace or anything so he couldn’t really do much at that point.
The College Years: Semester 1
With the new semester beginning Maikeru found out that his “Teaching to Diverse Populations” class had been cancelled, and was down to just 3 classes, the earliest being at 2:30 in the afternoon. He didn’t make any huge friends, just went to classes did his work and went home, he wound out realizing he was too lazy to take Freshman English 1 that semester so he dropped the class and was down to just “Becoming a Master Student” and “Intro to Microcomputers”. He stuck to his classes went almost every week and did very well, making an A in one class and a C in the other, which he could’ve easily made an A in Microcomputers but always seemed to forget to turn in his online assignments even though he has already finished him, the teacher gave Maikeru some credit for them though because he would show them to her in class. Maikeru also got his flash drive because of his Computer class which made him happy. He made one pretty good friend that had both classes with him, but they were more of the “school buddy” type of friends so they didn’t really hang out or anything. With his best friend getting ready to leave for the military they hung out almost every day playing video games, watching movies, anything to go through the time
Naruto.com
With the school year nearing an end he decided he was going to try and look for some English subtitled episodes of Naruto and at that time he came across a site with those episodes, naruto.com. At first Maikeru just planned to watch the episodes on the site, but then he saw in the upper right hand corner that there was a forum on the site and decided to give the place a shot. He signed up for the site under the name “HidanJashin” and started posting away. Within the first couple of nights he started making friends, among them were garraswerewolf, ilovegaara(now known as Luna Mikazuki), and even a mod who he spoke to a couple times SRhyse. Maikeru then came across a post were people were talking about custom villages and stuff, at that time there was only one “The Village Hidden in the Light”, Maikeru at that time decided to create his own village for the sheer hell of it, his love for blood and vampires gave him the idea to call it, “The Village Hidden in Blood” where people started piling in, Many people first said it was “The Village Hidden in THE Blood” but that is incorrect because it didn’t sound correct to Maikeru. Anyways, at the beginning the two most active members besides Maikeru himself were garraswerewolf and Kisame. The three were the main contributors at first, not that the other villagers didn’t contribute, but Kisame came up with a lot of questions that made Maikeru think of what to do with the village, and garraswerewolf and Kisame both helped bunch by pitching in ideas. We also had one real big contributor that wasn’t a villager, but in fact a rogue known as TheBlackChidori. By the time June rolled around, Maikeru went on vacation and wound out handing the village to garraswerewolf temporarily, which in fact turned out to be a permanent thing, and with all of this Maikeru skipped his n00bie stage.
The Summer Taken Off
With the summer coming and his mother possibly moving to Ocala, Maikeru didn’t sign up for a summer course so he sat at home waiting to see what would happen only to find out that his mother wasn’t moving. He did go up north to spend the summer with her instead of staying at his home with his Dad as he had been doing since the beginning of his senior year. His mother learning of Maikerus great grandmothers passing wound out spending a weekend in Ocala so Maikeru still got to go, he spent some time remorsing with his mother, and the rest of the time he spent talking to that girl he had met the summer before, and they started to like each other again, but of course, Maikeru knew nothing could happen so he stayed away again and got ready to spend the rest of the summer with his mother. He went to a hair place and got some Goldwell hair dye put in his hair that made it black, red and a yellowish color, why would anyone care to know that? Maikeru had no idea as he kept typing words into the Microsoft Word document of his laptop, but it didn’t really matter because Maikeru was bored and just felt like adding something to his life story. But again, I digress, that has nothing to do with this story. With the new school year coming up he found out someone special to him had a class with him.
New Crush: The 2nd Best Friend
The person Maikeru found he had a class with was one of his best friends the one that added him to her myspace in his summer between 10th and 11th grade. At that time, the two began talking every night into the wee hours of the morning, and Maikeru really started to like her. This is when Maikeru started to overcome his shyness, and really started talking to her more. Maikeru had already had some interest in her over the past couple years, but never really tried too much because he was scared to like her. The two bonded very well though, and became closer, when Maikeru told her he liked her, she showed a face of shock and amazement, and told Maikeru that she did like him, but she just couldn’t be with anyone at the present time, and told him not to wait on her either. They continued to talk almost every night and they continued to hang out a lot at the college a lot. And when Maikeru said he would wait on her she said well, I don’t want you to because I can’t really see myself with being anyone for a long time, but if that’s what you want, that’s all I can do. Eventually, she came to terms with the truth, which Maikeru already knew was the truth that she just didn’t like him in that way, and once again Maikeru was in the friend zone. However, she did introduce him to a new friend. During this time Maikeru started talking to his Blood Village friends again some older friends and some newer, among them were garraswerewolf, Malak, Luna Mikazuki and Anbu-Phoenix.
Back To Talking
After being told he was liked although it was really just as a friend, Maikeru remembered back to a time when he did that to someone and sought to make it right. Remember that girl from back in 11th grade? The one Maikeru said he liked, but just meant as a friend? It was her. They started talking again, and were getting along very well at first. He then asked her to eat lunch with him one Wednesday and she said alright and they went out to lunch. It was on September 6th, 2009 in which after they ate he asked her out and she said “Yes”. The next week they talking very well and Maikeru, as he always does, treated her as well as he possibly could, and she seemed to be appreciating it. However, on September 19th, 2009 she broke up with him saying she just wasn’t ready for a relationship. With that done, Maikeru went back to focusing on school life more, hanging with his friends and just really lived life. He was planning on waiting on her until he found out on November 1st, 2009 that she had a new boyfriend. He then had a chat with her about it where he asked her what was going on. And she told him, “I should’ve told you earlier, I just don’t like you in that way”. Maikeru then asked her why she didn’t tell him when he asked her if she still did, and she said she didn’t want to hurt his feelings, of course in the back of his mind Maikeru thought that the way it came across would hurt him more than it would’ve, but in all actuality he had expected the conversation and didn’t let him bother him. He did have one last question to ask her, which was, “What’s wrong with me?” and she told him, “You’re just too good to me, I don’t want that, and I also don’t feel you’re completely over your best friend” Maikeru of course explained that he was over her and didn’t want to be with her which was the truth. She however, didn’t believe him and said she just didn’t trust what he said. This was new to Maikeru after being trusted by everyone, and wondering exactly he could not be trusted he asked her he told her, “Fine, I’m not over her, does that make you happy?” and she was saddened by this. Maikeru was only telling her this so he could let her go and live her happy life with her new guy because he cared that she had that. However she then asked him, “Why did you lie to me?” Maikeru not having lied told her, “I didn’t, I never said I wasn’t over her, just that I didn’t like her like that anymore, it didn’t matter, and no matter what happened, I would’ve been faithful.” She asked him how she could know that, and Maikeru finding that offensive held his temper and said, “Well, you don’t, and I can’t make you know, but it’s the truth” After still not believing him. Maikeru told her he was just going to leave her alone because he didn’t want to deal with that, and he let her go.
The College Years: Semester 2
With all that done, Maikeru went back to enjoying his college life and really getting back onto the naruto forums. He had already started getting on a lot, but after that day he really stayed on, and he started making new friends, not just on the naruto forums, but in the Blood Village as well. Among those friends he made in the Blood Village were sasukejunkie, Haru Glory aka the hyperactive knucklehead, and on the naruto forums he made more friends mainly AgentShayd, Monster Addict92, Hikari-chan and last but certainly not least MangaGirl4U. He spends most of his time either talking to these people or working on work for school, however, he does spend large amounts of time talking to the most special person in the world to him, his little sister. How is Maikerus school life going you ask? He’s making As in both his Freshman English 1 and American Government classes and has officially passed his Government class. He spends most of his weekdays playing pool or video games with his college friends before going home nd chatting it up with friends on the internet. What else will come in Maikerus life? Only time will tell, as for now, Maikeru is just living life and seeing where it is going to take him. And boy, he is enjoying it.
Back story
Maikerus Father
Maikeru didn’t get to speak about his father much in his story, but that’s because his father and very laid back and gentleman, but he is always there for Maikeru when he needs it. He always gives Maikeru money to help him out with his builds when he needs it. For Maikerus 16th birthday he took Maikeru to the Royal Rumble in Miami, Florida and for his 18th birthday he took him to Wrestlemania 24 in Orlando, Florida. Maikerus father would do anything for his son, and he means the world to Maikeru. I love you Daddy!!
Maikerus Mother
Maikerus mother got spoke about a little more than his father, but that is because she is more out there and all. She is the one who usually wants to do things, which as a bit of a loner Maikeru doesn’t always want to do, but Maikeru cares deeply about his mother and over the years have developed a close relationship. He helped her with College Algebra while he was still in 6th grade. She would do anything for Maikeru as well and he knows that, and he is always there for her. I love you Mommy!!
Maikerus Best Friend
Maikeru didn’t speak entirely much about his best friend in story, but he can assure you that hung out quite often between 5th grade and now. In fact, his best friend just called Maikeru on the phone from his military stuff to ask Maikeru how to find the “HM Surf” on Pokemon Platinum. Maikeru and his best friend hang out all the time when he is in town, never at Maikerus house though since Maikerus step mom is a bit of a looney goon. Although, not an emotional guy at all, Maikerus best friend cares a lot about him, and is always there for him. You are the best friend I could’ve gotten and we will always be best friends.
Maikerus Sister
You didn’t think Maikeru would talk about all these people and leave out the most important person in his life did you? Of course not, Maikeru cares deeply about his sister, more than anyone in the world, if he could only save one person on the Earth from dying, he would choose his sister everytime. She is his guiding light, the one girl in the world that will love Maikeru no matter what. She considers her big brother a role model to her, and Maikerus parents are very proud of who she is trying to model herself after. He got her into all her music, alternative rock and heavy metal mainly Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park and Three Days Grace. They share the same three favorite bands, those mentioned in the last sentence, one of the same favorite movies, Sweeney Todd, and so many more things. Maikeru is proud of his little sister and is always there for her no matter what, and if this boyfriend she has right now ever thinks he’s going to get in between Maikerus relationship with his sister, he’s got another thing coming. Maikeru likes her boyfriend, but he’s still only 13 just like his sister. Maikeru cherishes his sister, and thinks the world of her. I love you Sissy!! You are more special to me than anything in the world.
Well, you found it I will give you a clue, the clue behind my favorite number is hidden within my name.
So without further ado
The Life of Maikeru
Birth of Greatness
It was a dark, stormy morning as the winds of fate were about to allow the greatest thing in the history of the universe to happen, the birth of Maikeru. Seriously it was a dark and stormy night, that wasn’t just made up to increase the quality of the story, but I digress that has nothing to do with the what I am speaking of. It was a dark, stormy … you know what skip that part. It was May 14th, 1990 that the world had the first good thing to happen to it, and it was very close to not coming to be. In May, over a month after his due date Maikeru was finally introduced into the world. That’s not a lie, at birth Maikeru was supposed to have died along with his mother, but amazingly they both survived. He had to be brought into the world via c-section the sky showed it’s remorse with rain symbolizing the tears, and the lightning symbolizing the fear of the world that two glorious lives could be taken away. Maikeru was the first born of three children whose names will not be mentioned. At birth, Maikeru had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck three times and was born black because of that. Although barely having any breath in him, he survived what could have easily killed him. The first person to hold Maikeru was his father, and his mother was about the last person to get to hold him, which made his mother very mad.
The Toddler Years
Throughout the ages of his toddler years, Maikeru was a relatively quiet child, didn’t make as much noise as most children, and he didn’t even like to get messy. On his first birthday, his mother had to literally smear some cake on his face to just get a picture of him being dirty. Whenever, he went to the park, he would always brush sand off of him because it made him unclean. Maikeru created a very strong bond with his grandmother, and was considered by the family as her favorite grandchild, not necessarily that his grandmother didn’t love her other grandchildren, but that Maikeru and his grandmother were very close even with Maikeru at such a young age. She was the one who got him into the “Land Before Time” movies and taught him everything his parents did not. She was the brightest star in this young childs life, and to this day Maikeru still collects the “Land Before Time“ movies in memory because of his dear grandmother (Love you Maw-Maw). Maikeru had his other fair shares of adventures one being that of almost dying at the age of 4 when he was hospitalized for a week when he had a temperature of 104.2 degrees, and many other symptoms including vomiting, yet again Maikeru escaped with his life. He was raised in a Pentecostal Church, learning the story of Jesus from his various pastors. At the age of 3, Maikeru made his first prayer which included just wishing that everyone in the world could be happy. Maikeru was reading at the age of 2, and solving math problems at the age of 3, yet could not enter Kindergarten because he was not yet old enough. At Age 3, he was however allowed into a private school learning the word of God where his mother was a teacher of a Pre-K class. At Age 4, also did something that is still remembered in his old church, he sang his first song in church which was none other than the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” theme song. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles along with the Mighty Morphin’ Power Ranger where Maikerus two favorite shows as a toddler. His mother did some things that this day would actually not embarrass him, she stuck him in a dress one day (Thanks Mom! -_-).
Years Of The Elementary
At the Age of 4, Maikeru entered into Kindergarten. This was also the year Maikeru had his first girlfriend, Erica, yes … that is correct at the Age of 4 Maikeru had his first girlfriend, although it didn’t really last very long at that age who could expect it to? Throughout elementary school Maikeru had a very gifted mind where he was ranked in the top of his class making straight As every semester and even taking Grades 1 and 2 within the same year. This was an A school as well, so you can just imagine the excitement of his mother. Besides, for being a very bright child, Maikeru was also a troublemaker. He would wind out in the principals office almost every day for various things, mostly for practicing karate at Recess with his classmates. He was the provoker of these acts, if you went to play tag with him he would practice his karate while running around. This caused his mother to take him out of the classes at the time he had a green belt. At Age 6, a most special person was brought into Maikerus life, a person whom to this day means more to him than anything in the world. His little sister was born on July 4th, 1996 (Love you Sissy), or as many people know it Independence Day quite ironic considering he was born on Mothers Day. So he and his sister were both born on holidays, his sister ironically being more of indepent child and Maikeru relying more on his mother. At the Age of 6, Maikeru was also moved into a new school which was opened by his church for people in the school system. Nothing much changed with his schooling attitude, he made straight As throughout the two years he was in the school, and was still a big troublemaker. He was forced to write lines every day, usually for flirting with girls who, mostly one who sat right beside him. The thing he got in the most trouble for at school, which to this day is one of the two most shameful things for him to admit is when he chased his little crush down at Recess and kissed her on the forehead, and what makes it even more sad is the fact that all the other children in his class chased he with him until he got her cornered, that was at the Age of 7. The other shameful thing happened in the very next year of his life, at Age 8, he had grabbed some hard candy from on top of the refrigerator and gave a piece to his 2 year old little sister and himself. Then while horsing around he ran into her in the middle of the hallway causing his sister to start choking on her piece. His mother ran out of her room called her husband, Maikerus father, yet by the time he had gotten there, she had gotten the piece of candy out of her mouth. Maikerus father speeded 110 mph all the way to the house he was so worried about her, and Maikeru in shame went in his room to cry. His mother and father comforted him yet grounded him at the same time, and as always his grandmother comforted him as well.
Death Of One Most Dear
The year of 1999, Maikerus second 5th grade year was also one of the saddest years of his life. Maikeru, although making straight As again in his first 5th grade year decided to take 5th grade again. Not because he wasn’t ready for 6th grade but because he was being enrolled into a public school and didn’t want to jump straight into Middle School. However, what made this the saddest year of his life was that fateful day on November 20th, 1999. His dear grandmother passed away in a car accident. She was hit by a truck driver who didn’t have his lights on during a foggy morning at around 7 AM, she was hit no more than a quarter of a mile from her house, his grandfather, had already planned out a special day for his grandmother, but never got to have it. Maikeru was hit hard by this death, and to this day it remains the worst moment of his life, she was the one who Maikeru was closest too, and now she no longer here, and at the Age of 9, that’s not something you just get over, at the Age of 19, it’s not even something you can just get over. He mourned for his dear grandmother, after being taken out of his class early that day. It hurt him more than could possibly be imagined, and for the next 4 years of his life Maikeru began his coming of age, when he realized the world was cruel, he cried over his dear grandmother many times over the next year, and occasionally within the 3 years afterwards. And to this day, the memory of his grandmother still saddens him, sometimes to the point of tears. He spent the most time by his grandmother at her viewing, and his mother and father could feel his pain as they remorse not only for themselves, but for their son as well. To this day, Maikeru has memories of his grandmother, many of which he keeps by collecting what his mother started for him, “Land Before Time” movies. However, to even begin to try and describe them when put me in tears. I love you Maw-Maw and I will never forget you.
Public School: Grade 5 And Best Friend Meeting
After the death of his grandmother, Maikeru began to not care as much about his grades, and many people say he caught “senioritis” at the age of 9. He was still smart, but no longer tried hard to make good grades. In his second 5th grade year, which was now in a C school, he made 3 As and 4 Bs, the worst report card for him, at that point. His mother and father believe, the passing of his grandmother is the reason he didn’t care about grades anymore since she taught him so much. And Maikeru himself even agrees with that statement. He became less of a troublemaker though, only having one ISS throughout his second 5th grade year. He was less rowdy, and more quiet, innocent, and calm. That year was also the year he met his best friend, whom to this day is still his best friend, even though he is in the Marines now. He met him on his soccer team, when he joined for the YMCA, where Maikeru played every position except goalie. At that point, his best friend became the new person he spent the most time with. They hung out a lot, and his best friend was also the person who brung him out of the world of being a die-hard Christian and got him to live a little. For instance, throughout Maikerus first 9 years of life, he was restricted from pretty much anything. He couldn’t watch Gargoyles, Invader Zim, Futurama, Harry Potter, Pokemon, Digimon, and many other things. One day, when he was almost 10, his new best friend sat him down and had him watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, which is where Maikeru started loving Harry Potter stuff, movies, books, etc… and to this day Maikeru still waits for the new Harry Potter movies to be released. At the age of 10, is when Maikeru started converting his Mom into not being so uptight about religion, he brung the first Harry Potter movie home, and had her watch it. After the movie, his mother looked and said, “This is what I had you restricted from? What is wrong with this?” This is where his mother stopped being a puppet for the Church and started getting to a point where she formulated her own opinion on everything. This is also where, Maikerus restrictions on entertainment started being lifted. Also, during this year, Maikeru made what at that point was his 4th girlfriend, which he met at a dance studio where he was taking clogging classes, however, by sheer stupidity Maikeru let her get away.
Middle School
6th Grade was a fairly calm year again for Maikeru, he spent most of the time hanging out with his best friend and making all As and Bs on his report cards. This was the first year Maikeru had a clean slate on his record, not getting punished for any wrongdoings. It’s also the year he developed his crush that lasted longest. Up until his 10th grade year, in fact he had a crush on her. But at that time, he was too afraid to speak to her because he didn’t know what she say, that and the fact that he had bad memories particularly of his last girlfriend where he felt he wasn’t good enough to have a girlfriend. This is also the year that Maikeru began writing, he wrote his first short story, a 10 page, 6 chapter book about a mummy which got him and a hundred for his assignment in his English class. Also in this year, Maikeru had come to a point where he had to choose between soccer and staying at the dance studio. He had decided to take not only clogging, but jazz and funk as well, but it would interfere with his soccer time so Maikeru decided to stick with soccer. The 7th grade year was the year Maikeru got in the most trouble, he moved with his father to Tampa to get away from all the drama in his own life, just to be put in drama anyways. He lived with his father, step mom, and sister. He was also enrolled into a new middle school. However, this is what got him in most trouble. He skipped every chance he could, in fact he may have not eve averaged going to school one day a week. Eventually, his father realized he just missed his old school and was ready to send him back to his mother. Not that, his father didn’t love Maikeru, but so he would take his education seriously. The only thing that held his father back, is who would be Maikerus step father if he went back. After his Mom got rid of that guy though, his father asked Maikeru if he would like to go back to his old school, and Maikeru said, “Yes.” When he got back to his middle school he got 9 silent lunches EVERY semester and would have easily had more, but he knew at 10 he would’ve received ISS and not only been punished at school, but would’ve been grounded as well so he would “clean up his act”. Other than that, this was also a very quiet year for Maikeru, he started making more friends, but for the most part, he kept to himself and only had those select few people he hung out with, this was also the year he became interested in his first manga/anime which everyone knows as Yu-Gi-Oh! It was also the year where he started actually slightly showing his crush that he might be interested in her. 8th grade was the most eventful year of his Middle School life although still not overly eventful. He became obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh! collecting tons and tons of cards, and became a little more open and talkative to everyone. This is the year everyone started realizing just how awesome Maikeru really is, he was friends or acquaintances with everyone who met him. He was still a small bit of a troublemaker, getting a couple silent lunches during the year and once having ISS. Of course the worst thing he did in Middle School he got no consequence for, which was breaking one of his friends legs. As was being said though, he became more open and started showing his crush a little more that he interested in her. However, the time he finally got the nerve to ask her or as he called it “giving her a note” she was already in a relationship. He was now not going to give her the note because of this, but one of his friends took it out of his pocket because of her. This made her boyfriend “mad” at Maikeru. He came over to him with one of his friends had his friend hold him by the arms and pretended to hit Maikeru. He had too much respect and was too good of a friend to actually hurt Maikeru, and when Maikeru asked him, “Why didn’t you really hit me?” He said, “Because I don’t hate you, you’ve always been a good friend and it’s not as if you knew or anything, I was just trying to look cool.” In fact though, it didn’t make him look cool at all, his girlfriend became infuriated with him and dumped him, the very next day she came to talk to Maikeru and make sure everything was okay. Maikeru, of course said, “Yeah, it’s all fine.” and didn’t bring up the note at all. They just chatted for a few minutes and went to down ready for P.E. This was also the year, Maikerus grades started slipping a bit more, as he started to really become interested in girls, of course with that one in particular. This year, he made All Bs except for one A and one C. He still hung out with his best friend a lot. And about a week after that guy broke up with his crush, he walked up to Maikeru and said, “You can have her, here’s her number … give her a call.” Maikeru took the number and that night was ready to give her a call, but everytime he tried he would hang up the phone before she could answer. The one time, he waited for her to answer, and asked if she was home, the girl said to him, “This is her.” And Maikeru couldn’t speak after that, he became very shy, and locked up. She thought he had hung up, so he heard her hang up her phone. And after that Maikeru had a hard time liking or calling anybody he liked which until about 2 years ago he still had problems with it.
The Introduction To High School
High School, hooray!! Surely there will be no drama here, right? Well, not for Maikeru, at least, not a lot of it. 9th Grade was a fun, yet not very eventful year for Maikeru, he had his second year of not getting in trouble for any wrongdoings. He also had his first year of perfect attendance, but it was taken away from him because he was out for “Take your child to work day.” Which the principal specifically said would not hurt Maikerus perfect attendance. 9th grade was the year where Maikeru really started to make friends; he became closer to more people, but was still best friends with his best which was then for 4 years. He still had a crush on that girl, but it was slowly deteriorating seeing as for the first time they didn’t have any classes together, so they stopped talking as little as they used to. His grades went lower 9th grade as he now had his first D in a class, but maintained a 3.5 GPA. By the time 10th grade rolled around he had just about lost his crush on that girl, and just started becoming his own person, this is where Maikeru started to realize exactly who he was … a super sweet, friendly, talkative, advice giving clown. He became friends with a variety of different types of people, “jocks”, “emos”, “punks”, “goths”, “cheerleaders”, it didn’t matter everyone got along with him including all his deans and teachers. In this year, Maikeru also started to realize his love for cosplaying as he decided one day to come to school dressed up in a pirate costume. People then began talking about “The Pirate Boy” except for his better friends who knew him as “Tater Tot”. He actually increased his GPA to 3.7 for that year, and developed one of the biggest crushes he ever had in January of 2006. They actually began dating over the summer, but only for 5 days, May 20th, 2006 to May 24th, 2009.
The Beginning Of Life: Two More Best Friends
During the summer between 10th and 11th is where Maikeru decided to get one of these “myspaces” that were all the rage. He began talking to more and more people from school and gained more and more friends as the time went by. He spoke to his crush almost every day that summer, but he also met two more people who to this day are two of the most important people in his life. Two new best friends, both girls, both cheerleaders and ironically both lived within a quarter of a mile from his house. The first girl he added because he recognized her and thought she might be interesting to talk to, and the second girl, who this day is one of the three closest people to Maikeru, added him because Maikeru added her best friend. They all three became very good friends, and could talk to each other about anything. Maikerus best friend then became good friends with them as well and nowadays are “4 person best friend group”. Amazing how two best friends can meet two other best friends and that wind out happening is it not?
Maikerus Ferret
There was someone else well something else that really caught Maikerus heart over the summer, his baby ferret named Dixie, whom Maikeru called his “Dixie Wixie”. Maikeru grew really close to his ferret spending all his home time playing with her and just having fun with her. Then on one fateful day, Maikerus joy and love for the little ferret turned to sadness and love while watching his DVD of Wrestlemania 21 he found his little “Dixie Wixie” under the couch and she had left this world. To describe exactly what happened to her would put Maikeru in tears to this day. But nonetheless, Maikeru tried and tried to bring his little ferret back to life as tears dripped down his face and nothing he did was able to help her. He cried and cried over her passing not just for a day, but for the entire week he would remember his ferret and cry every day about her. Maikeru then decided to do something in memory of his ferret, and changed of his email addressed. They are all now mylildixiewixie, his hotmail.com, his live.com, his yahoo.com, his aol.com, his gmail.com, and any other email he might have, they are all named in rememberance of what he had lost.
The Girl Fallen Hardest For
The beginning of 11th grade, this was time Maikeru thought his love life was starting to flourish. He continued talking to his crush every day, and they began dating again on August 4th, 2006. They were falling for each other, or at least, Maikeru was falling for her, and thought she was falling for her too, and Maikeru had his first kiss on August 11th, 2006. Maikeru treated her as if there was no one else on the Earth, which although he has toned down on, he still does. However, he started getting in trouble just to see her, he broke the axle on his car by going over a pothole once and was told by his mother to not drive his car that day. However, Maikeru didn’t listen and drove his car down next to his girlfriends house and walked with her to school. His mother infuriated, grounded him for two weeks, which in fact with his mother wound out being more like two days. Maikeru then made one of the bigger mistakes, that he didn’t really consider a mistake, at the time; he skipped 8 days of his fifth period class to go and eat lunch with her although she told him that he should be going to class. He didn’t care though, he was falling for her, and however, it came at a price. He got 8 days of ISS, one for each day he skipped, and this is where things went bad. Maikeru and his girlfriend never argued, but she decided she had to break up with him on September 12th, 2006 because “she was turning him into a troublemaker and she felt like she didn’t deserve him.” He was told he was “too nice” to her, which to this day Maikeru doesn’t see what the problem with that is.
Moving On
The very next day Maikeru had to leave after 5th period because he balled his eyes out at lunch where she was there trying to make him not feel bad himself. This, of course, is the tiem his two best friends really started to shine, they talked to him on MSN and were there to comfort him when he needed them, and they made him feel like he did matter. After a week of a lot of crying, Maikeru, for the most part, got over the crying, but inside was still hurt. For the next three months he couldn’t be with anybody, and he practically shunned any girl who tried to because he wasn’t ready for any of that. He realized he really needed to be more careful when he told a girl he liked her near the end of that 3 months span, but in reality only though of her as a friend when the memories of the past arose again. He felt bad about this and everything else he was going through, this was the second most downing time of Maikerus life.
New Crush: The 1st Best Friend
At the beginning of the second semester Maikeru began to develop a crush on one of the girls he met over the summer, and he began to talk to her a lot. Maikeru of course was oblivious to the fact that she didn’t like him like that because they had never even spoke about it. He had a crush on her for about a month when he decided he was finally going to ask her out. They went for a walk outside at 3 o’clock in the morning to hang out and when they got back to her house, Maikeru built up his courage and finally asked her. The girl, with a look of shock, and a bit of disappointment on her face could only say, “Let me think about it.” Maikeru of course knew in the back of his mind exactly what that meant. She then wrote him a message the next day over myspace telling him, “I’m sorry, but I just don’t see you that way, you’re too nice for me and I don’t deserve you, not that there is any problem, you’re just not the type of guy I like. I’m sorry, but I do want to be friends.” Maikeru comforted and made sure she knew everything was okay and that nothing would happen that would stop them from being friends which made her feel better.
Summer Of Jehovah: Witnessing
As the summer started drawing nearer, Maikeru developed a crush on this cute girl who would sometimes show up in his 5th period class when she was bored. She would come with one of her friends who Maikeru always called “The Candyman” … since he always came with cookies, and let Maikeru have one or two. Music Appreciation class was fun with all that was going on, especially when you get to throw itching powder on everyone. Fun time, fun times!! Anyways, Maikeru found out this new girl he liked was a Jehovahs Witness, and that she only dated other Jehovahs Witnesses because of past experiences. So Maikeru decided he would give the whole Jehovahs Witness thing a chance, he showed up at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovahs Witnesses and was immediately accepted by the people, and his crushs parents, which made Maikeru happy. Over the summer, Maikeru started really getting into the studying and all, while still having a crush on the girl, but just being too shy to say too much to her. Her parents started inviting Maikeru and his mother over for study sessions, so he spent a lot of time around his crush and her family, yet was still shy around her, but did talk a bit. She sparked up a couple conversations, and at times hinted about what a guy would have to do if he was with her. Maikeru felt she was a bit interested to see how good of a guy he was. As the summer drew nearer he found out that she was going to be moving to North Carolina, so Maikeru kind of fell back and let things happen. Not that he didn’t like her, but with her not having any means of communication (no myspace or anything) he decided it wouldn’t work out, so he let her go and eventually closer to the end of the summer slowly drifted out of Kingdom Hall and back into the world. But he still has some general beliefs that he learned from studying the religion.
The Chill Year
With the new school year, approaching and his life becoming a bore, Maikeru had a fairly boring year, seeing as he was now a senior and didn’t want to stay too close to his friends since he figured he wouldn’t know many of them after the end of the year, he spent the first two days in OSS for bringing a fake flintlock to school on the last day of his Junior year. Maikeru acquired his first job at Publix Supercenter as a bag boy working about 15 hours a week, which was good enough for Maikeru, he didn’t need a whole lot of money anyways, seeing as he had already lost his car, and was just working up money to buy a new one. He did extremely well in school his senior year making straight As both semesters and compiling a 4.3 GPA. Amazing, how you can lose senioritis in your senior year, is it not? Over his senior year he created closer friendships with his teachers and the deans, one in particular dean named Mr. Lambert. The first time Mr. Lambert really noticed Maikeru was when he wore caution tape to school and Mr. Lambert said to him, “You know as funny as that is, I have to ask you to get rid of it cause it causes distractions.” And Mr. Lambert laughed as he walked away. Maikeru wore more things that year that kept everyone in the schools interests. He dressed up as a pirate again, a hippie, an oompa loompa, a Florida Gator fan, lots of school spirit days, and even dressed up as a girl one day, even though all the guys tried to look up his skirt. And this is the year he really left his mark on the school, nowadays if you were to walk into Maikerus old school and say that name, “Tater Tot, Mike” everyone would know who you were talking about, the teachers, the deans, even the principal. Everyone knew they were going to miss Maikeru, as time grew nearer you could feel it coming with the joy of Project Grad and Grad Nite. Next came one of the more emotional events of most everyones schooling life, Graduation. This is the place where Mr. Lambert showed his final appreciation for Maikeru, when he shook his hand he told Maikeru, “You were a joy to have in the school, and it’s not going to be the same without you here.” Maikeru grabbed his diploma and was officially a High School Graduate.
Summer Of Preparing
With Maikeru now having graduated from High School, he realized he didn’t have a life anymore so he figured he’d go ahead and take his ACT + Writing Test and CPT so that he could get into a college. When he arrived he found out that he in fact did not have to take the CPT because his grades were good enough that they didn’t need him to take it. But he still took his ACT + Writing, which he didn’t study for and still managed a 24 on, which can get you into most any college when you have the grades Maikeru had. This is also when Maikeru found out his writing was in the Top 2% in the country, statistically speaking. Which was interesting cause he always considered his writing good since he had a lot of positive comments. This is when Maikeru decided he didn’t just want to be a teacher, but wanted to be a writer as well, so he decided those would be the two things he would focus on in college. So he went up to enroll and use his scholarship to get him in easily, along with his grants he would actually gain money. However, the College was really slow so his grants hadn’t cleared yet which made him have to buy his own books until the money came in. He signed up for 4 classes, Freshman English 1, Becoming a Master Student, Intro to Microcomputers, and Teaching to Diverse Populations. Also, during this summer he started developing a crush another new girl when he went to Ocala for vacation with his mother and sister. The sad thing is, although she liked him too they couldn’t really be together or anything because he lived 2 hours away and had no means of transportion, that may not seem like a huge problem, but she also had no myspace or anything so he couldn’t really do much at that point.
The College Years: Semester 1
With the new semester beginning Maikeru found out that his “Teaching to Diverse Populations” class had been cancelled, and was down to just 3 classes, the earliest being at 2:30 in the afternoon. He didn’t make any huge friends, just went to classes did his work and went home, he wound out realizing he was too lazy to take Freshman English 1 that semester so he dropped the class and was down to just “Becoming a Master Student” and “Intro to Microcomputers”. He stuck to his classes went almost every week and did very well, making an A in one class and a C in the other, which he could’ve easily made an A in Microcomputers but always seemed to forget to turn in his online assignments even though he has already finished him, the teacher gave Maikeru some credit for them though because he would show them to her in class. Maikeru also got his flash drive because of his Computer class which made him happy. He made one pretty good friend that had both classes with him, but they were more of the “school buddy” type of friends so they didn’t really hang out or anything. With his best friend getting ready to leave for the military they hung out almost every day playing video games, watching movies, anything to go through the time
Naruto.com
With the school year nearing an end he decided he was going to try and look for some English subtitled episodes of Naruto and at that time he came across a site with those episodes, naruto.com. At first Maikeru just planned to watch the episodes on the site, but then he saw in the upper right hand corner that there was a forum on the site and decided to give the place a shot. He signed up for the site under the name “HidanJashin” and started posting away. Within the first couple of nights he started making friends, among them were garraswerewolf, ilovegaara(now known as Luna Mikazuki), and even a mod who he spoke to a couple times SRhyse. Maikeru then came across a post were people were talking about custom villages and stuff, at that time there was only one “The Village Hidden in the Light”, Maikeru at that time decided to create his own village for the sheer hell of it, his love for blood and vampires gave him the idea to call it, “The Village Hidden in Blood” where people started piling in, Many people first said it was “The Village Hidden in THE Blood” but that is incorrect because it didn’t sound correct to Maikeru. Anyways, at the beginning the two most active members besides Maikeru himself were garraswerewolf and Kisame. The three were the main contributors at first, not that the other villagers didn’t contribute, but Kisame came up with a lot of questions that made Maikeru think of what to do with the village, and garraswerewolf and Kisame both helped bunch by pitching in ideas. We also had one real big contributor that wasn’t a villager, but in fact a rogue known as TheBlackChidori. By the time June rolled around, Maikeru went on vacation and wound out handing the village to garraswerewolf temporarily, which in fact turned out to be a permanent thing, and with all of this Maikeru skipped his n00bie stage.
The Summer Taken Off
With the summer coming and his mother possibly moving to Ocala, Maikeru didn’t sign up for a summer course so he sat at home waiting to see what would happen only to find out that his mother wasn’t moving. He did go up north to spend the summer with her instead of staying at his home with his Dad as he had been doing since the beginning of his senior year. His mother learning of Maikerus great grandmothers passing wound out spending a weekend in Ocala so Maikeru still got to go, he spent some time remorsing with his mother, and the rest of the time he spent talking to that girl he had met the summer before, and they started to like each other again, but of course, Maikeru knew nothing could happen so he stayed away again and got ready to spend the rest of the summer with his mother. He went to a hair place and got some Goldwell hair dye put in his hair that made it black, red and a yellowish color, why would anyone care to know that? Maikeru had no idea as he kept typing words into the Microsoft Word document of his laptop, but it didn’t really matter because Maikeru was bored and just felt like adding something to his life story. But again, I digress, that has nothing to do with this story. With the new school year coming up he found out someone special to him had a class with him.
New Crush: The 2nd Best Friend
The person Maikeru found he had a class with was one of his best friends the one that added him to her myspace in his summer between 10th and 11th grade. At that time, the two began talking every night into the wee hours of the morning, and Maikeru really started to like her. This is when Maikeru started to overcome his shyness, and really started talking to her more. Maikeru had already had some interest in her over the past couple years, but never really tried too much because he was scared to like her. The two bonded very well though, and became closer, when Maikeru told her he liked her, she showed a face of shock and amazement, and told Maikeru that she did like him, but she just couldn’t be with anyone at the present time, and told him not to wait on her either. They continued to talk almost every night and they continued to hang out a lot at the college a lot. And when Maikeru said he would wait on her she said well, I don’t want you to because I can’t really see myself with being anyone for a long time, but if that’s what you want, that’s all I can do. Eventually, she came to terms with the truth, which Maikeru already knew was the truth that she just didn’t like him in that way, and once again Maikeru was in the friend zone. However, she did introduce him to a new friend. During this time Maikeru started talking to his Blood Village friends again some older friends and some newer, among them were garraswerewolf, Malak, Luna Mikazuki and Anbu-Phoenix.
Back To Talking
After being told he was liked although it was really just as a friend, Maikeru remembered back to a time when he did that to someone and sought to make it right. Remember that girl from back in 11th grade? The one Maikeru said he liked, but just meant as a friend? It was her. They started talking again, and were getting along very well at first. He then asked her to eat lunch with him one Wednesday and she said alright and they went out to lunch. It was on September 6th, 2009 in which after they ate he asked her out and she said “Yes”. The next week they talking very well and Maikeru, as he always does, treated her as well as he possibly could, and she seemed to be appreciating it. However, on September 19th, 2009 she broke up with him saying she just wasn’t ready for a relationship. With that done, Maikeru went back to focusing on school life more, hanging with his friends and just really lived life. He was planning on waiting on her until he found out on November 1st, 2009 that she had a new boyfriend. He then had a chat with her about it where he asked her what was going on. And she told him, “I should’ve told you earlier, I just don’t like you in that way”. Maikeru then asked her why she didn’t tell him when he asked her if she still did, and she said she didn’t want to hurt his feelings, of course in the back of his mind Maikeru thought that the way it came across would hurt him more than it would’ve, but in all actuality he had expected the conversation and didn’t let him bother him. He did have one last question to ask her, which was, “What’s wrong with me?” and she told him, “You’re just too good to me, I don’t want that, and I also don’t feel you’re completely over your best friend” Maikeru of course explained that he was over her and didn’t want to be with her which was the truth. She however, didn’t believe him and said she just didn’t trust what he said. This was new to Maikeru after being trusted by everyone, and wondering exactly he could not be trusted he asked her he told her, “Fine, I’m not over her, does that make you happy?” and she was saddened by this. Maikeru was only telling her this so he could let her go and live her happy life with her new guy because he cared that she had that. However she then asked him, “Why did you lie to me?” Maikeru not having lied told her, “I didn’t, I never said I wasn’t over her, just that I didn’t like her like that anymore, it didn’t matter, and no matter what happened, I would’ve been faithful.” She asked him how she could know that, and Maikeru finding that offensive held his temper and said, “Well, you don’t, and I can’t make you know, but it’s the truth” After still not believing him. Maikeru told her he was just going to leave her alone because he didn’t want to deal with that, and he let her go.
The College Years: Semester 2
With all that done, Maikeru went back to enjoying his college life and really getting back onto the naruto forums. He had already started getting on a lot, but after that day he really stayed on, and he started making new friends, not just on the naruto forums, but in the Blood Village as well. Among those friends he made in the Blood Village were sasukejunkie, Haru Glory aka the hyperactive knucklehead, and on the naruto forums he made more friends mainly AgentShayd, Monster Addict92, Hikari-chan and last but certainly not least MangaGirl4U. He spends most of his time either talking to these people or working on work for school, however, he does spend large amounts of time talking to the most special person in the world to him, his little sister. How is Maikerus school life going you ask? He’s making As in both his Freshman English 1 and American Government classes and has officially passed his Government class. He spends most of his weekdays playing pool or video games with his college friends before going home nd chatting it up with friends on the internet. What else will come in Maikerus life? Only time will tell, as for now, Maikeru is just living life and seeing where it is going to take him. And boy, he is enjoying it.
