Days passed by Ichigo in a haze. All the days seemed to blend into one as a powerless state washed over him. He could no longer protect anyone. Not his friends, not his family and not Rukia. He lost everything protecting the people he loved. He lost his soul reaper powers protecting the people dear to him... This is a one shot about what makes Ichigo feel alive. It's about those lifeless days Ichigo treaded the earth without his soul reaper abilities. Those days that he couldn't see Rukia anymore or those violet eyes of hers. xXx (PLEASE read the A/N that follows... AND I don't own bleach or any of the characters)

One person needed courage to face the past. Another person needed effort to make a dream come true... It's been a few years after the great shinobi war and there's finally some peace in the world. But peace is only an illusion, a calm before the storm. Temari was send to Konoha to attend some business but instead she got sent on a mission to fill someone else's selfish void. What happens when that mission goes horribly wrong? What will happen when the world's peace start crumbling apart, leaving only heartbreak and pain in its wake? xXx (I do not own any of the Naruto characters :P Mashimoto owns them)

The sequel of the first book Forget me. Temari's been beaten and hidden away from the sun for two years, her memories stripped away from her. It was only after that faithful day when Shikamaru found her that she could return back to her home. However, things weren't that simple. Just when she thought everything was going to be alright and happiness would return to her, a mysterious power made the Shinobi in the Leaf vanish one by one... Yet most of the scattered Shinobi managed to find their way home again with the exception of Hinata, Sakura and Kiba. With Hinata, Sakura and Kiba still missing the rest of the Konoha 12 hold a meeting in order to compare their collective information about what happened while they were away from the Leaf village. That is when Kiba returned to the village, bearing news that would shock them to the core... Temari was dead. But was that the full truth, or only the half of it? Will they discover the truth behind all the disappearances and will they find Hinata and Sakura before it was too late?

Most could see them as business partners, that nothing would spark between them. Some see them as normal people who'd go out as 'friends'. What people physically see about them was enough, but they actually don't have the slightest idea of the events that occur when the lights are off, or if they are off their sights. What do they do when they see each other in the middle of the bridge leading to their respective villages? What happens when no one is looking at them? What happens when they are alone with each other? What happens when they are trapped in their own world? No one knows but them.
