In the beginning stages of the invasion, one hundred years ago, the invisible, invincible, and indestructible demons took over the Western Hemisphere and pushed all of Asia into a corner, forcing a resurrection of the Old Magic that pushed back against the demons. Behind the borderlines, humans were safe. The ones instilled with combat magic would continuously leave the safety of the borderlines and fight, slowly but surely extending the reach of the borderline perhaps an inch every decade. But for all their gains the demons were there to push the borders back with their invisible hands and tear apart those that dared leave safety to oppose them. Nekata Hiruko is a genin, a commoner ninja in the last villages of Japan. He is a master of chi magic and a skilled warrior but despises his job with all his heart. As a newly fledged ninja, he has a daily quota to fulfill: protect the borderline and kill one demon every week. On the day he was given the quota, he crosses the borderline and goes farther than anyone had gone in a hundred years: all the way to Tokyo, the location of the first demon attacks. There, he discovers that he could see the demons, making him the one person with the potential of ending their reign over the world. Just one problem: All he wants to do is go fishing.

The seasons change along with the year. So much can change in one year. Than why do I feel the same? The only change about me is how further I went from the light. So deeper, and deeper I went into my own darkness, and hidden sorrow. Lying on my back, it almost feels like I'm floating.But I'm not, I'm falling. I don't fight it, I don't willingly let myself go either- or atleast I didn't. Not until everything happened. Now, I just allow the darkness that surrounds me, consume me. Nothing waited for me in the light, atleast not anymore. Atleast that's what I thought.... So there I laid... just letting time fly by. Just living, or atleast breathing. Then there's a hand. A hand that was reached out to.... me. Once again, I do nothing. As it tries to reach for me, I only fall deeper. I thought it will give up soon, but it was so persistent that I almost couldn't stand it. I was afraid. I didn't want it touching me. I didn't want help. I just wanted to be left alone. But at the same time... I didn't. As if a part of me was cheering it on to come save me from myself. To take me out of here, and help me see. Then that fear came back, and I pushed myself further in. Irritated, when it wouldn't let me be. Though mostly, I was confused, conflicted... What was I supposed to do? Keep sinking? Or finally resurface? Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just my characters. Also the picture used in the cover is also not mine, got if from google, only the story and my characters belong to me! Enjoy!:))

[Born With Different Cells: Rewritten!] /Raising a child has never been easy. Being brought up by a cold blooded lizard isn't either./ Four years prior to the Rookie Nine's graduation, Kōryū Taniko woke up in the hospital of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. With zero recollection of who she was and not a possession to her name, Sarutobi Hiruzen told her one thing: Konohagakure is her home now. From then on out, things are difficult. Adapting to life without an identity took an effect on Taniko, creating insecurities and eventually; trouble. When her only family member refuses to mention anything about her past, she's stuck with blind goals and false values. That is, until her cards are forced to play themselves. While her body begins to remember who she was, a man Taniko has sworn she met before suddenly appears and further adds to an onslaught of questions that trace back to her origin. Confused and scared, she can only fearfully accept the changes that are occurring. Slowly but surely, the truth is coming out and Taniko isn't particularly sure if she can handle it.
