Works:

Somewhere to Belong is my current long story. I love this one to death! Read it if you get a chance. I'm working really hard to make it the best I can! Currently the fic on the most favorites list out of all that I have written.

Follow Me is a short KakaIru oneshot I did for fun to get my mind flowing. It's short and sweet- something any fan would enjoy!

Undercover Kakashi is another oneshot, but it's longer and has a fuller plot. It's so FUNNY!

Iruka's Revenge! is the sequel to Undercover Kakashi. Finally, the poor chunnin gets some payback. Two versions are available and chances are, you'll like one of them better depending on your preferences...

No Regrets is my only poem, and it's really sweet, though sad. And, yeah...it rhymes. Won't take you long to read- check it out!

Be My Friend- a series about Kakashi and Iruka as children which follows them as they grow up. My current fic!

Can I Keep It?- a collab with Princess Tyler Briefs, which can be found under her account or at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3179665/1/ Summary: Iruka finds a puppy on the way home and wants to keep him. Will Kakashi and Pakkun say yes? KakaIru total fluff.

More Than Words- another collab coauthored with Princess Tyler Briefs, found at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3210863/1/ Summary:IruKakaKakaIru One Shot Iruka is walking home with his arms full of paperwork when it starts to down pour. Kakashi, who was walking the other way and happens to have an umbrella, sees him.

Planned:

Sequel to Somewhere to Belong (untitled so far, but taking suggestions XD)- Well, since Somewhere to Belong is over (NO!) I figure I should start thinking about what I want to write after it. It will most likely generate a sequel, so that's always an option, though it's too early to tell what it'll be about yet. For the most part, I see myself working on giving Iruka and Kakashi more interaction and building their relationship further.

Companion fic to Somewhere to Belong- The yaoi question's come up and since I don't see it happening in StB, I might consider doing a short M-rated piece to go with it and post it separately. XD Not really my thing, but I could be convinced to try it. It depends on how many people ask for it. Send me a message.

Kakashi Gaiden- I've been dying to do a Kakashi story like this. I want to write his story from the very beginning, focusing on his life as he grew up. For all the Kakashi freaks like me! XD

I'm thinking about something where Kakashi gets shrunk back into a little kid and Iruka has to take care of him. Probably has been done before, but I'll give you my own version.

Mpreg fic? I'm just throwing ideas out there now! XD

Other stuff you may or may not care about:

I live in California near San Francisco, but went to college in Orange County. By the end of my first year, I started reading KakaIru, and realized I liked it! Those two are so cute together!

I read both shonen-ai and yaoi, but I haven't gone past shonen-ai in my own work yet for some reason. Something about it is too wierd coming from me. Haha. Maybe I'll muster up the courage to try it sometime. Even though it would be awkward, I might be pretty good at it...maybe.

I still kinda consider myself new to KakaIru. I would really like to be a bigger part of the communtiy, though and meet fellow fans, so don't be afraid to email/message me! If you wanna, anyway. I love meeting new people with the same interests! If you want me to read your work, let me know. I don't bite too hard. XD

I'm thinking about trying something different too, just for kicks. I want to write a KakaAnko fic, a KakaRin fic...if you haven't firgured it out all ready, I'm obsessed with Kakashi. It's SCARY. It even scares me. All I bought at Fanime Con was Kakashi-related stuff (check my DeviantArt page for a list of all the Kakashi stuff I own). I even dressed up as him for FOUR days! Let me tell you something about being Kakashi- I don't know how the heck he BREATHES under that mask! And the fabric I used was so perfect too! It was thin, yet not see-through, slightly shiny, silky and stretchy! And yet...still somewhat hard to breathe through. And I had to keep pulling it up...

If you desire details about my experience, you should know that by the end of those 4 days, I was so sick of the fabric's scent that I could not put my face near it! And the skin under my nose got all dry from being wet (like when you have a cold). I had my left eye covered by the headband most of the time even though I drew a scar over my eye, and I had to have one of my friends walk in my blind spot so I wouldn't crash into anything or anyone. I had to tie up my hair and stuff it under a wig cap so that I could wear my wig (aka the Dead Animal) on my head. The Dead Animal was actually a mullet that I chopped up and spray painted silver. Flakes of the paint would sprinkle down onto my jounin vest too (my friend called it dandruff). By the end, it was so messed up that the Dead Animal died.T-T So, it looks like I have to get a new wig next year. XD The only other thing I had trouble with was my leg hostler (which my sister called a garter), which kept slipping down with my bandages. We solved this problem with safety pins and medical tape.

Okay, now that I'm done complaining, let me tell you about how much I LOVED my costume! O-o ? It was sooo great being my fav character (well I had to be- if I hadn't, I would have been stalking every other Kakashi there)! The attention was wonderful. I got asked for my picture and hugged so many times, and I even got fangirl tackled (a very memorable experience even though I'm straight). It was so much fun! The Naruto gathering was the best. I dressed up my little bro as Obito and took him along. Imagine Kakashi spiking Obito's hair for him and that would be me every morning during the con! XD

Oh, I also dressed up as Iruka during those four days! I love that chunnin so much...It was great because all I had to do was take off my wig, mask and gloves, rub the scar off my eye and draw a new one across my nose. I LOVED my vest! The scroll pouches are so much fun. And I got to wear it ALL day! On the final day of the con, I went to McDonald's as Iruka and ate ice cream. I still have a picture of that! (It's on DeviantArt.com)

I was also Iruka for two days at Anime Expo in Anahiem. That was my first time at AX, and it was great! So many people, though... I thought I was going to go insane, especially when I saw those lines...I spent most of my first day waiting in lines, but it was so much fun and SO worth it! Lots of great cosplayers there. It was so awesome! Well, I didn't get mistaken for a guy like when I dressed up as Kakashi. XD Funny stuff still happened though. I went to someone's house with my scar still on my face, and someone asked me if I was playing football o-O.

I've also cosplayed Pit from Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Kid Icarus, Edgeworth from Phoenix Wright, and Hatori from Fruit's Basket
