From the beginning, their fates were intertwined. No matter how long they fought, no matter how hard they struggled, it was inevitable that in the end, they would have to rely on each other. No one is without their own fear, no matter how much they might like to believe it. Kazue once believed herself to be strong. To be the sort of person that nothing could break. Experience taught her that she was more fragile than she could have ever imagined. With her sensei absent and one of her teammates on the brink of being torn away from the shinobi world, she's left with the question of how everything became so complicated- and what she can do to change it. As the stability of the shinobi world begins to crumble- however- she's thrown face-to-face with a stunning realization that perhaps she was misguided in thinking the worst thing left to fear was death. In reality, the worst fear never crossed her mind. That the one person who matters more to her than anyone in the world- perhaps even the man who's begun to break through every one of her walls- isn't permanent. No one is immortal in a world on the brink of war. Jun, he may have known that there were far too many things in this world that he feared, but he believed that if he ignored those fears perhaps they'd one day cease to exist. Or at least, he'd hoped. He'd hung everything on this dream. It's ironic how easily a dream can turn into a nightmare. Those fears became non-existent the moment that he ceased to have control over his own body. He's become trapped- his own mind the cage. There is really only one fear that matters now. The fear that before long, he'll completely disappear. Then, Miki. In the wake of the loss of something she'd once feared the existence of, she's left only with the fear a of failure. In her mind, there's only one solution and in order to bring back her daughter, she'll do anything. Three souls- intertwined by fate and circumstance. Not a single one- Fearless.

I've known Hidan for a long time before I met my demise. To me, he was just a fool who praised a god who didn't exist. But when I became a Shinigami and read the story of Hidan's life, I realized that I was horribly mistaken. He wasn't all that I thought he was. Hidan of the Akatsuki was a man who wanted to give everything up for the only person he would ever love, but, maybe I was right on some parts. He was a fool- but the special kind. @NarutoWattyAwards Summer 2014 Third Place Winner in the Akatsuki Category!

Rin Suzuki pays it no extra thought when she wakes up in an unfamiliar forest, alone. This is almost normal; her dad is an eccentrically abnormal person, for such a famous multi-millionaire in America. She cruises through the strange environment until she realizes: this is not one of her dad's usual pranks. It can't be-- he's gone. She learns to adapt. She makes friends. She makes enemies. She grows stronger. She becomes a shinobi. Through all the trials, Rin finds herself at home in the unfamiliar village. And in Konohagakure, she unexpectedly finds herself. *I do NOT own Naruto or this picture!

Mitsuki is a girl who needs the shroud of mystery around her. Without it, her life would be much more complicated than it currently is. She was just eight years old when she was delivered to Konoha by her beloved "Tachi-kun" from her abusive home. She refuses to let anyone enter the innermost chambers of her thoughts, and continuously lies to keep them from doing so. She says she is Mitsuki. She says she is Mika. What's the truth, what's the lie? And here's another question, perhaps the most important one in her life-- why must she avoid "him"? *I do NOT own Naruto or this picture!

Uchiha Sasuke gets a rude awakening when a little boy arrives at his office with a note saying "It's time to be a father bastard..." Is this a joke? Nope, its not even the beginning of whats to come. (Warning: Nothing serious only suggestive language. ~ I don't own the naruto franchise. Tis a fanfiction story I created.) (Undergoing rewrite for some parts)

Itachi and Naruto have just learned that their clans had arranged a marriage for an alliance. Neither of them know each other and at first Itachi is cold towards Naruto, but starts to love him during their journey (life) together. Naruto is bullied in and out of school, making him depressed. Itachi doesn't know about this and tries protecting Naruto the best he can when he finds out. How will things go? How does Itachi change towards Naruto? (This is an AU in which they go to school, they aren't ninjas and they have somewhat traditional families [clans].) {Note: This story does contain swearing, will have some sexual scenes in the future, and is a small trigger warning} I OWN NOTHING BUT THE STORY PLOT!!! ALL NARUTO CHARACTERS BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS (not me)!!!

"I have always thought that I was alone, that I would always be alone." He gently traced her cheek with his fingers. "I had never thought that I'd find someone like you." A small smile tugged at her lips. "Actually, Gaara, I found you." His thumb brushed over her lips. "And I'll never let you go." He whispered, their eyes meeting. A voice growled in his thoughts. 'Mine.' Gaara/OC. Disclaimer: I own nothing but my Original Characters.
