They left me alone for three years, they all did. They left me in the dust and they never looked back. Since he returned I wondered if things would go back to normal, but I doubt it. I've been so lost. I've traveled down a wrong path, a different path than what my density had originally laid out for me. It's been six months since Naruto has returned to the village and I was placed on team seven once again, though this time is different. There was still no Sasuke. Sai and Captain Yamato were added to make a team of five, or for one of them to replace me, I haven't quite figured it out yet. Team seven did not know my dark secret, none of the Konoha 11 knew and I was fighting like hell to keep it that way, to keep things like they were before but of course Danzo had other plans.

How do you stop losing the ones you love when you are not omnipotent? "We all have to make choices sensei. And, if it ever came down between my loved ones and the village...I would let the village burn." When you can't save them on your own? "We are just humans, and that's fine. It just means that we have to work together that much harder in order to protect each other."

❝Do you believe in second chances, Sakura?❞ ❝Of course. But I don't understand why you're asking me. I'm pretty sure I'm dead.❞ ❝ Would you like me to change that?❞ [ I do not own Naruto nor the characters. ]

COMPLETED! NOTE THAT THE REWRITE TITLED "ATSUKO" HAS BEEN POSTED. ~ What exactly does it mean to be human? Shiranui always wondered what it meant. Of course she knew what humans were made out of; flesh and bones. But what was beyond that? She traveled for so long that she has forgotten where she came from. She has been searching for the answer for years only to come up empty handed and with a lot of pain. But when Shiranui arrives in Konohagakure, things change. Clues and hints riddle the Village Hidden in Leaves, leading her closer to the answer. But will she like what she discovers or will she be horrified? [ I do NOT own Naruto. Just my OC Shiranui and Tsuki-Yumi. ]

❝ She was born in the darkness, ❞ Akita harbors a blackness in her heart, a slow and festering disease. She is the catalyst for both wrath and destruction. Contrary to the beliefs of many, she was not born into this hatred. Akita bled for the people she called family - she killed for them. Foreign to the shinobi nations, it was painfully obvious she would be singled out from the crowd. With skin a warm brown, eyes of molten gold and claws as black as night; she stands alone. Akita was not born evil. She was made. ❝ and darkness she became. ❞ - COVER ART GOES TO RESPECTFUL OWNER 3RD PLACE WINNER NARUTOWATTYS2017 "BEFORE NARUTO'S GENERATION" MATURE CONTENT.

["You weren't supposed to die," she uttered softly. "You said-promised..." Sakura's voice cracked towards the end, the unspoken words left behind. 'You promised you'd never leave me.'] As Sakura grows and learns more about what it takes to become a ninja, she tells herself that nothing can stand in her way! Well... except maybe a Jinchuriki sensei who wears bright ORANGE and is obsessed with ramen of all things... And a revenge-crazy boy who doesn't even know she exists... oh, and a mask-wearing-silver-haired boy who she knows absolutely nothing about, except that he can be an asshole... BUT! She. Can. Handle. This! She is a kunoichi dammit! *Drabble series* KakaSaku Same Age AU. Kakashi and Sakura are put on the same Genin team with Naruto-sensei having to deal with their shenanigans. Featuring Duck-butt hair, Sasuke as the third wheel/member. Crossposted on FF.net and AO3

Violent and dangerous. If there are two words in the dictionary that will perfectly describe Kuro, those are it. She's a hot-headed, impulsive tomboy with no friends of her own gender, the girl who gets in fights very often - and never loses. Kuro longs for a friend that would understand the hardships of being a girl, but who wants to befriend the school delinquent? This junior year, she vows that everything will change. What happens when she gets involved with a certain gang that could cause danger beyond her control? She begins with a rough start between herself and the Akatsuki, a. k. a. idiots who can't hold a proper fight, fair and square. Things get a thousand times more twisted when a tough, impulsive person like herself finds that not only is she growing to despise this little dollface... she's falling in love with him. But he's not in this to find love. He just wants a new toy to play with. And she absolutely cannot be controlled... Nor tamed. Does this puppeteer think he has the power to control the strings attached to her? Well it's either that, or to allow himself to become attached.

Hidan's dumbass does something that only Kakuzu can fix. Although, that doesn't necessarily mean he wants to.

"You glanced around the classroom nervously. Everyone was chattering about it, talking amongst themselves with worry, excitement, hoping to get the partner of their choice. It was the day. Today was the day you would get your marriage partners... The disease. It was all the disease's fault. It came out of no where. One day everything was fine, and the next people were dying, practically dropping dead because the disease moved so fast. It devastated everything. It killed thousands in Konoha... 'You asked to see me after my class was done...' 'Yes, you sit down as well. I have a very important matter to discuss... I'll put this bluntly to make this easier,' Tsunade said with the utmost seriousness, '(f/n), you are to be paired with...'" -Learning to Love, Chapter One
