THIS STORY HAS BEEN ABANDONED! PLEASE SEE THE CHAPTER LABELED WHY ISN'T THERE MORE!!!! It was such a simple act of kindness that changed his entire life around. Once it was evident he had the Will of Fire, though, a life he could never imagine began. Ryu Sarutobi was the "adopted grandson" of Hiruzen Sarutobi. All people knew of him was he appeared out of nowhere with the Hokage's words backing him. As well as who they saw him become. He was a boy with a strange worry over a yin-yang ring he wore. He was a boy who gave his everything to protect the village. He was a boy who had a fire raging within him. He was a boy with a great light that could pierce the darkness. All people had to do was look. But he was also a boy who was cursed. And that curse would do anything to devour his light. *new cover done by TheInfinityofMaybe*

Entry for UnchainedHeart's quote contest. All Locke wanted was to be seen. When he finally realized he was, it was too late. One-shot. One Piece oc character that hasn't had a story. He is adoptable by the way. Just for reference.

This is like my own personal journal. For some reason I randomly wanted one, partially after seeing the one on DestinyGirlz page. So this is a place to come if you wanna get to know me, and I will be 100% real with you here. You can ask questions, or I'll just post things as I think about it. So, yeah, this is me. Will also possibly have little rants and such, as well as story stuff may be added her. This is just all of what makes up me, including my thoughts and what I'm doing, after all.

All it takes is for someone to have faith." His entire goal had been to kill the one who had murdered his clan. To do so, Sasuke Uchiha tried in vain to escape to Orochimaru. He was brought back to the village, but there was part of him that was gone and no one - not even those who had once been his closest friends - could find it. He has turned his back on his old life, devoted completely to his goal. However, one appears who threatens his resolve. She was running, trying to escape a past that destroyed whatever was in its wake whenever it caught up. Rather than lose her life, though, Kina Katachi continued to chase after her own. To escape the darkness that had once plagued her before she met him. But in pursuing her dream, she runs the risk of losing herself once more to her darkness. The darkness doesn't enjoy losing its hold. Once it has it, is it too late to escape it? Or can light from within vanquish even the mightiest of darkness?

She was a girl lost, struggling to find out who she was while making a new identity as a shinobi of Tsukigakure. He was a boy driven by rage and pain, running from his past in an attempt to take out the one who destroyed everyone he cares for. When Sasaui Fukui and and Shizake Uchiha meet, they find just how close their paths intersect. *collab of Bre2k9 and Shizake19**cover by SBgirl04*

THIS STORY HAS BEEN ABANDONED, PLEASE READ THE CHAPTER WHY ISN'T THERE MORE FOR DETAILS!!! Taint is a dangerous poison. Once it begins, it spreads without limit.
