In Halloway City, love isn't forever-it's licensed. AI companions are programmed for affection, rented out, and erased when their contracts expire. No attachments. No regrets. No memories. Dex Raines makes a living enforcing that rule. A washed-up PI with a failing business and a drinking habit, he takes under-the-table jobs for The Recall Bureau, tracking down lovebots that refuse to forget. Find them. Wipe them. Move on. Until his latest case. Her name is Sora, a high-end LX-9 companion bot flagged for deletion. Standard job. No complications. Until she looks at him and calls him by a name he hasn't heard in years. That's impossible. She shouldn't know him. She's never met him before. Bots aren't supposed to remember. Bots aren't supposed to lie. And bots sure as hell aren't supposed to know secrets about his past that he buried a long time ago. Now, Dex is a wanted man, tangled in a conspiracy that stretches from the slums of Halloway to the boardrooms of Hyperion Systems, the megacorp that controls the city's AI industry. Someone wants Sora erased for good. And if Dex doesn't start running, he's next. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes: this isn't just about one bot. Because if lovebots can remember-what else has been wiped? ONC 2025 Entry

CURRENTLY ON HOLD A student geisha assassin of the Hidden Leaf learns there is more to her forgotten past than she ever guessed. With a prewritten path of bloodshed before her, and two former friends clashing for her affection, can Katana still allow her heart to love? *** Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha couldn't be more different. One is a disruptive troublemaker who no one wants to have around, the other is a straight-A student who is admired by everyone. But they are also the same; orphans who lost everything and don't have anyone left in their lives - except for one person. Katana has been a close friend to Naruto and Sasuke since their childhood. Found by Leaf Shinobi when she was 4 years old, with no recollection of who she was, Katana is condemned to a life as a geisha assassin of the Land of Fire. But she is defiant. She longs for freedom, away from the strict existence she is forced to live and dreams of the day that she will be reunited with her family. Yet, the truth about Katana's past, present, and future turns out to be more devastating than she ever guessed. Her love for Naruto and Sasuke will save them... or destroy everything. *** [[This story is ongoing; average word count per chapter - 3.000]] IMPORTANT; please read the author's note for all trigger warnings. I do not go easy on my characters. Advised for mature audiences only. Disclaimer; I do not own anything from the Naruto universe. The manga/anime belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, this is fanfiction in tribute to his work. Only the main heroine and her story woven into the existing Naruto storyline are mine. Some of the timelines will be altered a little to make the characters older for some things, though not too much. There will also be some references to the novel Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.

I've decided to jump into the latest smackdown hosted by LayethTheSmackDown and Ooorah. This is where I'll be posting my entries. It's been fun and challenging doing these in the past and it's good motivation to churn out some stories. I haven't managed to win one yet, but in a way that's beside the point. Hopefully I can last a few rounds, but if not, that's okay, too. Good luck to all who decide to participate!
