--Last updated 5th Sept 2005--

Heya! Diamond Core here! I am new, so /kneels down and joins palms/ (as if in prayer, lol!) plz forgive me if my first fanfics will not be good /sweatdrop/!

Max: Er, DC /taps me on the shoulder and puts on a teddy-bear smile/ I think you've been here for over a year now.

Me: O,O Really? Ehehe /sweatdrops/ sure doesn't feel like it though, lol!

NOTE: I am sooo sorry for my terribly long delay in updating...(Max: -thinking- Oh great /sweatdrop/, there she goes again...) I'm seriously feeling so desperate to do so, but sadly, I have to restrain myself right now since I'm currently caught up in so many things but please hear (or read rather lol!), that I'll never giveup on my fanfics so /clasps hands and bows/ please don't think I've abandoned them! I promise you that I'll definitely get back down to working on them and post my way overdue chapters asap! I honestly feel so terrible for my horrid procrastinating, but if you're angry, upset or have forgotten me, then /lowers head and murmurs/ I understand...

If there are any readers still waiting, I really do appreciate your kindness and patience with a procrastinator like me, but please go ahead and read the wonderful works of other amazing writers out there...in fact, you should check out the fanfics on my favourites list, cos those stories and their authors are just brill and are worth worshipping! Please R&R them if you can /beams/!

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYBODY FOR ALL YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT and of course the reviews! You guys are the best! Big hugz to ya all! I also want to specially thank Calm Soul, RandomnessRox and yume-chan29 for putting my fanfic in their C2s /glomps them/...and how could I ever forget Swifty who inspired me to be here and all my other favourite authors who will always give me the spark of enthusiasm and joy in R&Ring their masterpieces and the aspiration to be like them one day /glomps them all/ and I really really do mean that!

O yeah! Ahem, to all the most amazing incredible authors/contacts I know, /clasps hands and kneels down with head lowered/ pleeease don't be mad /does a major sweatdrop/!I'm still alive /sweatdrop/! I could never stop reading any of your wonderful works, so please know that I'm always there to back you up, cos you all RULE! Problem is that there is only one computer in my house right now (with internet access that is) and believe me - with a family like mine, I seldom get to work on the computer too often /sweatdrop/ especially since I'm the youngest in the house! Even when I do get it, I can only get to review one or two fanfics each time and I haven't managed to grasp the essential amount of time to get up to date with my emails /major sweatdrop/! All I can say is KEEP ROCKING and that I will always be there for all of you since each and every one of you is dear to me and the same goes for my lovely reviewers /hugs you all/!

Keep happy and keep smiling !

Nickname: Yasmin
Age: 16
Birthday: 9th January
Sun Sign: Capricorn
Chinese Zodiac Sign: Horse
Location: England
My hobbies are: Watching TV, chatting on MSN and surfing the net (obviously!), daydreaming about Ray and Tyson, reading, drawing, playing & listening to music, writing poetry, singing, dancing, acting and going with my friends.

Fav Music: Anything really as long as I like the lyrics and the sound of it (though I usually listen to rock/metal and am not that fond of rap).
Fav bands: My Chemical Romance, System Of A Down, H.I.M., Evanescence, Avenged Sevenfold and some more I can't remember now, lol.

Personal Quotes:
-If there's no understanding, where is the relationship?
-You never know unless you give him/her a second chance.
-How can you understand if you're not even trying?

Personality:
Well to summarise, I'm a person of different shades. At heart, I'm what you'd call a romantic sentimental philosopher, who is often found day-dreaming or lost in thought when I'm alone (which would not be so surprising since I'm an only child, lol!) and at the same time, I'm like a combo of Max, Ray and Tyson, who is loud (once you get to know me), sometimes a bit of a slacker in my free time (otherwise I try my best at everything, lol!), hyper, child-like but sensible, confident but cautious and fun-loving with a light-hearted sense of humour! Kinda like having a split personality neh? Lol!
However, if you just met me, I'd be extremely shy, nervous and quiet, but I'm very friendly, virtually harmless and very easy to approach! If you respond nicely to me, then I can guarantee that I'll always be there by your side to make you smile or give you advice whenever you're having problems!

Bad qualities: VERY indecisive now and then (it can really bug everyone around me, /sweatdrop/ lol!), a bit of a chatterbox (when I'm in that kind of mood, lol!), low self-esteem, easily stressed, often too quiet/soft-spoken with new people and a bit secretive.

My fav animes are:

Beyblade
Dragonball/Z/GT
Shaman King
Outlaw Star
Naruto
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Tenchi
Rurouni Kenshin
And loads more!

My fav Beyblade Characters:

Tyson (He may seem to be annoying and proud, but he has a diamond core of gold! He is so dreamy in G-Rev!)
Hilary (Hey! She's always stuck by Tyson no matter what happens, so u could at least give her that much credit! Besides, it's hilarious when those two argue !)
Daichi (Aw, who can resist the lil kid? He and Tyson look just like brothers /hugs them/!)
Ray (SO GORGEOUS!)
Max (Just adorable and sweet! He always makes your day!)
Kenny (I just like the little guy ok?)
Raul (Shrugs Probably because he reminds me of myself - I'm very shy & quiet and hate to look like the weaker link, but in the end I'd love to share the credit/spotlight with anybody)
Mariam (Shez cool, shez pretty and she has GIRL POWER! U rock!)

My fav pairings:

TYSON/HILARY! (My fav pairing in da whole world! A perfect example of a perfect couple!)

Btw, if you're a fan of Ty/Hil and are seriously looking for a fanlisting, please go right ahead and click here: http:///! Thankies so much HikariAotsuki - you're just awesome cos I thought I'd never find a Ty/Hil fanlisting until I happened to come across your profile! Big hugz to ya - I'll even hand you a cookie and a whole tub of ice cream along with it! /Acknowledges the stares I'm receiving from everyone/ Heh, okay /sweatdrop/ - I know I'm a weird one, lol! Mucho thanks for the review by the way! I'll try to review your fic asap (it's just that I'll be very very slow in reviewing /major sweatdrop/ - heh, just busy, busy, busy nowadays, lol! Sorry about that!)! Keep rocking!

Max/Mariam (Who wouldn't luv this pairing?)
Ray/Salima
Ray/Mariah
Ray/OC (As long as she suits him!)
Kai/OC (Same as Ray)
Miguel/Mathilda
Kane/Salima
Ozuma/Mariam (Sometimes...)

Pairings I'd love to see more often:

Ty/Hil/Kai where Ty/Hil comes out in the end (You should know the reasons why by now, lol! I feel sorry for Tyson cos it's always Kai/Hil that wins T_T!)
Miguel/Mathilda (Okay, I know you might find this weird! It's just that there was a very cute oneshot I read about this couple once!)
Mathilda/Anyone (If the guy suits her)

My 1st fic is: Beneath the Surface
Genre: Romance/Fantasy
Summary: Hilary and Tyson each discover a figure from their past which leads into a whirlwind of events. What dark secrets lie in wait to be uncovered? Will the bonds of love and friendship survive the storm of danger?
Pairings: Ty/Hil, Ray/OC, maybe Max/Mariam and Kai/OC!
Status: In progress (finally!)...25 percent of Chap 4 (Part 2) finished.
Post Date: /Sigh/ Depends on when I'll get a break from schoolwork, but I'll try to post it in the first half-term holidays...

Upcoming fic: Follow the Footprints
Genre: Mystery/Romance
Summary:"They are antiquities of long ago, corroded, hidden, repressed by the acid of time and the oceanic folds of the mind..." What's to happen once they resurface through the delicate fibres of her psyche? She alone will have to find the answers.
(Sorry if that summary sucks or doesn't make sense /sweatdrop/!)
Release Date: I'm hoping to get it up by Christmas at the latest /hides behind Max as he sweatdrops/.

Max: /Smiles weakly and raises palms at angry mob of readers and reviewers/ Please forgive DC...believe me she really wants to update BTS and publish this fic so badly. The problem is that she fears getting very tangled up in stuff to do with GCSEs and the usual annoying stuff at school. Please don't give up on her though. She really loves you all very very much.

Check out the AWESOME fanfics on my favourite list and their lovely authors! Please read them cos they're fantastic and I'm positive that you'll enjoy them all. /Waves to them/ You all ROCK XD!

Well, that's all for now!

XoX !I WANT CHILD ABUSE TO STOP!XoX

My name is sarah

I am but three,

My eyes are swollen

I cannot see,

I must be stupid I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better

I wish I weren't ugly,

Then maybe my mommy

Would still want to hug me.

I can't speak at all I can't do a wrong

Or else I'm locked up

All the day long

When I awake I'm all alone

The house is dark

My folks aren't home.

When my mommy does come

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe I'll get just

One whipping tonight

Don't make a sound!

I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Charlie's Bar.

I hear him curse

My name he calls

I press myself

Against the wall.

I try and hide

From his evil eyes

I'm so afraid now

I'm sradishing to cry.

He finds me weeping

He shouts ugly words,

He says its my fault

That he suffers at work.

He slaps me and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And I run for the door.

He's already locked it

And I sradish to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken.

"I'm sorry!", I scream

But its now much too late

His face has been twisted

Into unimaginable hate.

The hurt and the pain

Again and again

Oh please God, have mercy!

Oh please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door,

While I lay there motionless

Sprawled on the floor.

My name is Sarah

And I am but three,

Tonight my daddy,

Murdered me.

child abuse, MAKE IT STOP!

This is a true story. A girl died in 1933. A man buried her when she was still alive. The murder chanted, "Toma Sota balcu," as he buried her. Now that you have read this chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this on your profile, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded. Lucillia
