Blood And Tears

by Yoake Ryuuseigun

When you have nothing left to love in life, what's keeping you living? And when your broken heart decides your number's up, what will stay the hand of execution? EDIT: Summary rewritten to reflect cancellation of Part II. Genres updated to reflect the content of the story. Title changed to reflect cancellation of Part II. Chapter 7 states the reason for cancellation of Part II.

1. Introduction

Heya people. Yagura Isobu here with another request, this one a two-parter (because I had two ideas but couldn't decide which one to do) for ChrisArm0, whose blessedly simple request was, "Do one that pulls all my heartstrings".

I bet they'll feel a tug or two, Chris. Part I will involve Shikamaru and Ino, and Part II will be OC-Centric. Like Screaming At A Wall is Part II, and Blood And Tears is Part I. They will probably intersect at some point. So, once I get around to putting it up, enjoy!
