Important Notice!! (01/12/2011): I AM UPDATING CURSED DEMON! Alright, now that I have your attention, I am indeed going to be updating Cursed Demon, which now as you can see has been renamed Cursed Demon: Kaibutsu Akebono. I have gone back and done some minor editing, revision and changes to the Four chapters already posted, and will be posting the nearly complete Chapter 5 by the end of this week. (Edit: 12/18/2011 Apparently I did not get the days off from work that I was expecting, which is fine, I needed the hours. So I have the next two days off, and I will be posting the next chapter in the next two days.)

If you are wondering about the new name added on to the Cursed Demon title, is in fact due to this story being shortened into a Part 1 of 3 that will compose the entirety of the Cursed Demon story. Part 1 and Part 2 are will in fact be more like Prologues to Part 3 (the main part of the story) and both Parts 1 and 2 will be shorter than Part 3 by far, each representing about a 2 year period in Naruto's life. They are both their own stories due to the two completely circumstances Naruto finds himself in. Part 3 is going to much much longer and will be an entirely new circumstance for this new Naruto. Don't worry, I'm not getting rid of any pairings I've had planned, matter of fact not too much had to be changed in the first 4 chapters at all. They fit in just fine with my grand plot.

So I would appreciate for all of you who have read Cursed Demon before, to do so again, due to some of the minor changes I've instilled, I believe you will find it a better read and some of the extra stuff I added to be intriguing. This will also be posted at the top of Chapter 1 for those of you who don't check my profile.

Sex: Yes please... (male, obviously)

Name: Sorry not going to tell you. Besides, I like to be called Rune

Location: In my room... duh... oh yeah, which is somewhere in the boonies.

Current Stories:

The Person I Admire: long winded epic, as many are starting to realize, and very exhausting, lol.

It may be awhile before I update this story again. Sorry to say for all of you waiting. But, I'm currently engrossed on the new Narufic I've been working on planning out (a first) for the past few months. Just haven't started typing it yet, just writing notes. Until just now. Just finished chapter 1 and it should be up soon. Truth be told, TPIA was written back when I first started writing. Its first few chapters are sucky, they really are. They aren't well written in my opinion, and even though its obvious that I improve my writing skills later on in the story I still have a lot of beef with the earlier bits. For example I've been told, and I complain about it myself... this story has massive plot holes. which upset me. plot holes are the mark of a bad writer, and I like to think I've grown past that. I think that with a third fic I'll be able to switch back an forth between the three whenever I get writer's block/bored on one. 3 is the magic number after all. So even though I don't know if I'll update TPIA, I'm pretty sure I will eventually. It just may be awhile.

...patience is a virtue so they say... and so is not killing me.

-About 50 percent done with Chapter 29 so far...

Cursed Demon: My own little project of a darker, grittier life that Naruto begins to live, and how he deals with his new 'friends' especially that red-headed loud mouth...

Plus, expect this story to not only be darker, but to be funny as well (if you can find my sense of humor funny that is), I plan on having fun inserting some of my strange jokes and what not into it. So in other words Cursed Demon is going to end up being a strange algamation of darkness, drama, violence, romance and a good dash of humor (add some psychosis) and you got yourself a story.

-Updated Chapter 4: Chishiki wa Chikara Nari (Knowledge is Power)

Jinto: of Sadness and Joy: it may come as a surprise to many of you, but this was the title of the very first story that I ever posted on fanfiction.net, I was inspired to start typing my own fanfiction by none other than Dame Wren, the writer of the Two Halves story. However, it was difficult since one of the main characters other than Naruto -Ino in other words- wasn't very elaborated upon at that time in the Naruto series. So after only 5 chapters (which were short and very bad) I removed the story and started posting the The Person I Admire a short two months later. It was easier, and it was still one of my favorite pairings. Plus, it was apparently successful. Very awesome in my opinion.

I always wondered how much easier it would be for Naruto if he could just have someone understand what he truly went through when he was younger, and the great burden he bears as a jinchuuriki (though that word wasn't used when I first started reading Naruto). Then I read up to the point where we got to learn about the Yamanaka family technique, the Shintenshin no Jutsu. I now notice that throughout the series that Kishimoto very studiously avoids Ino ever having to use said technique on Naruto, even out of irritation.

Well this is what happens in this story. Naruto is just about to leave with his new sensei, Jiraiya, on a training trip that lasts more than a year, and decides he'll prank the entire village as a sort of 'farewell' before he leaves though he's caught by a very irate Ino, and the actions she takes to prank him back will change her life and her view of our little blond hero forever.

Future Ideas:

-Rewriting Cursed Demon. The story is going to change dramatically from what I had originally planned, though it will still be mostly the same in the beginning, the story I have up now (after being re-written) will actually be more of an extensive prologue for the actual story which will be posted after the re-write.

Why I've been away so long:

I had to move out of my house. My parents and little brothers moved to Hawaii (dad is in navy) where my sis and I opted to stay behind where our grandmother and our aunt moved in with us into the house we were living in before my parents left. It was fine... for 1 week. I believe it is enough said that for awhile I was more concerned with the stresses of my life than with typing and updating stories, one I'm unsure of and disappointed in. After that I moved out of my house and moved in with my sister and two other roommates.

For awhile now, and to this day I am still more concerned with my everyday stresses, my job, my budget, food, laundry, utility bills, and anything else that is money or living related. If I do go AWAL I will post it, and it will be more than likely because of... well, life. and I am sorry for anyone waiting for me on this site, for that is what you'll have to do, wait. I love this site, I love typing. Whether I want to do it seriously and try and sell a novel... I don't know. I just like writing for the masses when I can, and knowing my work is appreciated. As of right now, that's all I want to do. Fanfics and fun, that's what this is all about after all, right?

Anyways, I hope this is enough of a reason for all of you..

p.s. For those of you who do not understand the above reasons? Fuck off. For those of you who do understand? Thank you so much for understanding. You have no Idea how bad I feel for staying away for so long.
