No one enjoys being the outcast amongst their own, especially when the reasoning is something you simply cannot change. But Takahashi Ichirou is different. He is the black sheep of his clan, yet he could not agree more. Born to a clan that only knows how to a follow the herd; Ichirou is destined to lead. He will fight for his dreams, 'till the end. For he was no mere sheep. :: Nara Shikaku x OC [I do not own Naruto Shippuden - all rights, characters and plots belong to Kishimoto.]

"They turn, and see the stars, and feel the free shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers, And through the music of the languid hours, They hear like Ocean on a western beach, The surge and thunder of the Odyssey." Like you or me, she was just another face in the crowd - she walked, she fought, she breathed, she ran. Like you or me - she lived. But it was never enough. Mindless, boring, dull - for her it just wasn't enough. As the sun sets, and the children return home, and workers prepare for the long night - she becomes more than just a face in the crowd. Something much more. :: I do not own the Naruto Series or any of its characters and plots. I own only my OC's and story. [ Spoiler Warning - Read at your own risk ]

** UPDATES OCCURRING** So, you've read all those stories about Akatsuki members having daughters but not so many with sons. So naturally this is going to be a little different. Being the son of the immortal Jashinist has few perks.... emphasis on the word few. So few in fact, that Takeo could count them on one hand. Takeo's life takes a dramatic nose dive when he takes a job in the Land of Waves. PART 2 Loving him was easy but expressing that love to someone who vowed only to love himself, was difficult. Their love was that of a childish friendship which quickly transpired into something more alluring. There was something about his eyes that made Takeo shiver. Something about his lips which looked ever so inviting and his elusive smiles that made the Jashinist's son addicted to wanting to see that smile one more time.

Kakashi adopts Naruto, feeling bad for him. He is still heartbroken, since his whole team had passed away, leaving him. They both need renewed love, and a family. Itachi helps out with taking care of Naruto while also looking out for Sasuke. Things will change for Naruto, but will it be for the better, or the worse? Author: alright. Something before I forget.. ... ... uhhh I forgot.. .. Oh yeah down there. Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR NARUTO SHIPPUDEN. MASASHI KISHIMOTO DOES. Another Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURES I PUT ON THE COVER. I FOUND THOSE ON GOOGLE AND THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS. Lol have fun reading.

**BOOK 2 OF MEMES IS OUT!!** hey it's me 4 years after this was made.... this is so cringe lmao 2016 was rough

She looked completely innocent with her pale pink hair and jade colored eyes. But he was not a fool, he saw the look of horror and loss within her eyes as if she had lost everything she held dear to her heart. As if she lost her home, family, friends, and lover. What he did not know was how right he was.

Things weren't supposed to have ended the way they did. The war had lasted too long, countless of them had died fighting. They had fought until Madara was finally, truly dead. But now, there was only two left. With Konoha gone and everyone dead, neither of them accepted the cruel outcome. So, they went back. -- "You can't save everyone, death can't be avoided." "We can sure as hell try. We failed them once, it won't happen again."

Kakashi thinks he's in for a nice break, free from students, after Naruto's recent departure with Jiraiya, but he hadn't counted on a beautiful stranger turning up in Konoha whom Tsunade thinks would become a powerful asset were she to be trained as ninja. Here begins a slow fascination Kakashi hadn't ever imagined...maybe he can forgive the loss of his extra reading time, after all... This story is dedicated to Amaterasu as she was a fan of this story way back at the time it was actually being written! Haha - thank you! I hope this story gives you as much joy to read it as it did for me to write it! ^-^
