Welcome to my profile.

Here's a little bit about me... I am from a hilly, mountain, tobacco country where I do, in fact, walk around barefoot most of the time. I have enough years in my craft to be happy about it, but don't feel like sharing my age (I'm a woman. That's how I work.). I am a big fan of the arts. I've done just about any craft you can name through a class or job or school or just for pleasure.

To all my reviewers: I appreciate you so much! Your interest in my work makes all of the toil I suffer writing worth while. The number of my completed stories remains at two for now. They are: Faded Cherry Blossom and Eien No Kessoku. I have plans to finish EnoK in its sequel: Eien No Kessoku: Gouka. I started it sometime in the winter/spring. Sadly, I am very lazy and haven't cracked the whip over it yet. You can check for updates and previews below. I also have links to my different accounts in case you want to contact me elsewhere or just want to check out what I'm doing here and there.

I have never officially beta-ed, but I have criticized, edited, and enjoyed advising others on their fanfictions. I've read/watched over 150 manga/anime. If you have something pertaining to that specific category, I can help you.

Here is where the playlists for Gouka and EnoK reside. Gouka isn't updated and I'm not even sure if all of the songs work for EnoK. I wanted to try and make them available.

Eien No Kessoku

_EnoK is Finished!

A word of thanks goes out to all of my loyal readers and my close friend Sara for being the Iruka to my Kakashi. This has been the biggest project I have ever completed. Over 130 pages, unspaced, in Word. That's massive for me. Anyway, thank you for your patience if you've been waiting a while for Gouka. It is now up and running.

Aaaaaand... Here's a little celebration for the story's completion. Happy dance!

Eien No Kessoku: Gouka

_Background:

I will attempt to make this as vague as possible so as not to spoil anything… It has been 5 years since Naruto came back to Konoha (Shippuden). Team 7 reunited to search for Sasuke and remained together for three years. Then (two years before the fic begins) Naruto was pulled back to be with Jiraiya to evade the Akatsuki and finish what he started there. The Kyuubi is getting restless for an unknown reason and so has the Akatsuki as their search for both the eighth and ninth bijuu continues. Sakura is an accomplished medic and became a jounin with Naruto while still together. She joined the ANBU not too long after our favorite Jinchuuriki left again. Sasuke is still traveling with Team Hebi and his goal to kill Uchiha Itachi has remained.

_Unofficial Summary:

Gouka will narrow in on individual relationships and conflicts between characters. The plot will never thin out. If you want a vague idea of how dense it will be... I won't finish with unraveling everything until the second to last chapter. Not only will it be my best written, it will be the easiest (for me). I'm predicting sometime in February or March you'll be seeing me again. My updates will be as spastic as usual. But don't be afraid to send me a message if you want a better idea of what's going on!

(Just so you know, Gouka (for my sake) means "results of Karma". The whole thing reads in English as "Eternal Bonds: The Results of Karma"...)

Eien No Kessoku: Gouka

Recap of 6-7

Tsunade has uncovered the most valuable secret of all: Madara has taken control of Konoha. Tsunade now knows the weight of her presence. It is the knowledge in her hands that will save or eliminate her people. Her only hope is the council that abandoned her and such ties are already growing thin. But Madara knows this as well. He will do anything to ensure that they will not survive. A frog appears, reporting news that Tsunade needed... and dreaded. Her losses are nothing compared to the eminent ones. Tsunade is preparing a message for Gaara and for the world that will shatter the illusions and save her people. But what is holding her back?

Everything is going according to plan for Madara. There is one hitch, however. How do you keep a losing battle going? Madara must hold on to the illusion of war for a perfect victory, but his soldiers are not as oblivious as they seem. Even so, they can do nothing. No one can. Against the strongest shinobi that ever lived, whatever damage they cause is but a scratch. However, a scratch is a start. It signals the beginning of the end.

Sent by Danzou, Sai is stationed at the Uchiha Stronghold. His mission is to wait. And with iron patience, he will do so. But in his solitude, what will a man question? What goes through his mind?

Deidara has been stuck in the same place for days and his legs are beginning to twitch. It seems about time to move. His healed hands stretch over clay, ready for his last revenge. His target is Konoha. His target is Uchiha Madara.

Naruto has finally arrived in Rain Country, greeted by old friends and confronted with new adversaries. The time for war has come. He must fight this fight or the hope others carry with his name will fall.

Sasuke and Sakura have closed in on their objectives. The tracks have led them to Daichi's home. But the letter left behind will erase any pact the two have made. They will be torn apart by two paths leading in opposite directions: sacrifice what they desire to stay together, or satisfy what regrets have been haunting them once and for all. Sasuke is firm in his position. He will seek out his brother. There is nothing Sakura can say to change this. Unknown by Sasuke, the path Sakura treads is monitored by peering eyes. Eyes that know only one goal: kill the man who betrayed his master.

Preview Chapter 8-10

Tsunade's letter will change everything. In Rain Country, one piece of information will weigh more to one person than to anyone. A woman, driven by her hope and her passion and her pride, will pursue a man cast over with the paper thin control of a madman. She must free him or she must kill him.

Sakura has been trapped in a battle she doesn't understand. Her condition cripples her, but her heart drives her to fight. Sasuke can't be allowed to face this enemy. She fears the consequences. She fears what Sasuke will become. If it means protecting him, Sakura would willingly die. Sasuke's mind wanders. The Uchiha Stronghold retains memories he had chosen to forget. Memories of Itachi, of Konoha, or family, and of friends. His mind is in a hidden turmoil, but he knows who he must choose.

A fight between partners is inevitable. A fight between traitors. A fight between criminals. They were once brothers in a common cause, but now face one another as enemies. Itachi will make decision he had not been expecting. After years, what value does a companion hold once they've turned against you?

The cycle has torn out from under their feet. It will continue to move for all eternity. But the people on it have changed. In its rampage, it has pushed them to the edge of repetition and what is to be expected. The conflicts they face had changed in nature. The cycle cannot control their fate anymore. It will be broken. They all stand at the cliff waiting for the first move.

When they jump, will they fly or will they fall?

Thank you for passing through!
