I do not own Fairy Tail or One Piece. They belong to Eichiro Oda and Hiro Mashima.
Coby entered into his new apartment fatigued and limping. They had arrived back in Magnolia on schedule. The only problem was that it was in the middle of the night, and the marine was sleepy.
Laxus took Mirajane off of his hands, as he lived with Makarov and the Take Over siblings' apartment was nearby. This left Coby to find his new apartment, which was near a small canal within the town. He surveyed his new home; it was hopelessly Spartan, which was to be expected as Coby had only just entered it for the first time. The fridge was empty and devoid of food, the cupboards were collecting dust and the small sofa had plastic over it. He wandered around and saw that he lacked a mattress for the bedroom, causing him to sigh.
"The old tenants took away the bed, huh…" said the marine to himself. He let a yawn escape his lips as he decided that tomorrow would be a day off from training and would instead be devoted to cleaning and renovating his new place of residency. And with a stagger and a plop, he fell onto the sofa, ignoring the plastic, and finally went to sleep.
The next morning…
Coby awoke with a start. When he was with the Marines, the soldiers would always wake up early to get first in line at the mess hall whether it was at an outpost, on a battleship, or in the barracks. He stretched and reached for his bandana and glasses, wrapping them around his head. Coby rarely slept in, and judging how the sun was pouring through his window blinds, he had. Hearing his stomach growl, the boy went to the door and walked out onto the small street. He saw the canal lively with boats, and decided to walk on the ledge like a tight rope. He slowly walked, his arms held out to balance himself.
"Careful kid! Don't fall in now!" called a voice. Coby turned and saw one of the boatmen waving at him. Coby smiled back.
"I will!" Coby lept off of the ledge and ran towards Fairy Tale. Maybe he could ask his friends and guildmates to help him clean house?
He soon arrived, the guild bustling with activity as usual. He took a seat over by the bar next to a red haired girl in armor eating a slice of cake. The marine remembered meeting her on his first day of joining the guild.
"You're Erza right?" asked Coby. The redhead turned towards him, her eyes going up.
"Ah Coby. Good morning."
"Good morning to you too," responded the pinkette as he accepted a mug of water and began to drink. There was an awkward silence between the two as Coby ordered a few croissants for breakfast.
"So…are you competing in the S-class trials this year?" asked the marine. Erza looked away.
"No, I'm not ready yet. Next year or so I will, maybe" Coby nodded.
"Okay okay…what type of magic do you use?" Erza turned towards him in confusion.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Well we are guildmates right? Doesn't that make us comrades?"
"I suppose so…well if you want to know I am still trying to learn how to use Requip magic," Coby turned towards her with intrigue.
"Requip? What's that?"
"It's a magic where I can equip various types of armor and weapons."
"Wow that sounds cool! So you can switch between a thick heavy battle armor for a light chain mail or a huge sword for a pair of daggers? Something like that?"
"Yes," Erza nodded. "Is it okay for you to be talking to me though?" Coby's head quirked in confusion.
"Why's that?"
"Aren't you Mirajane's boyfriend?" asked the redhead. Coby rubbed the back of his head.
"Well…technically but we're aren't in a romantic relationship, per se." Erza stopped eating her strawberry cake and looked intrigued.
"But isn't that what boyfriends and girlfriends do? Get into a romantic relationship?" Coby shrugged.
"Well the reason me and her are a couple is because I am going to be her partner in the trials so we need to be well coordinated in teamwork in order to make Mirajane an S-Class mage. You get what I'm saying?" Erza nodded. "In addition, this is also an educational experience for the both of us so that when we do find a partner, we won't look stupid and inexperienced. Besides, once we finish the trials we are separating."
"Why though? I mean wouldn't you want to stay together?" asked another voice, Coby turned around and, lo and behold, and for the first time not drinking, was Cana.
"It's not nice to eavesdrop you know…" pointed out the marine. The brunette didn't seem to care.
"You and Mirajane are in some form of a relationship and you're breaking up when she becomes an S-Class mage?" Cana shook her head. "Coby she's using you, don't you know that?"
"That's not true! She's not using me!" said Coby in defense. The brunette sighed.
"The signs are right there. Temporary relationship, one is in control of the relationship, using said relationship for one's benefit. Open your eyes newbie, she's using you for a stepping stone," said Cana sternly, as she grabbed a flask out of nowhere and took a swig. Coby felt tapping on his shouder and turned, seeing Erza no longer looking awkward and confused but concerned.
"Is this true Coby?" she asked. Coby shook his head.
"No, it isn't!"
"Did she threaten you to be her partner? Please be truthful on this!" said Erza with a tone wanting no false answer, judging by the look on her face. Coby gulped and tried to find a way out.
"I…uh…" suddenly the marine thought of Mirajane looking sadistically down at him, holding out two butcher knives and swishing them together.
"Eu~nuch~" she sang in a singsong tone. Coby didn't need to answer, as he started to sweat and stammer. Erza scowled.
"I knew it. She bullies Natsu and now she ascends to using others for her own gain. How dare she," snarled Erza as she stood up. But she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Coby with a serious look on his face.
"She isn't using me Erza. I'm telling you the truth here," said the marine sternly. Coby knew he was lying, but he didn't want his comrades to be fighting over something so trivial as a pseudo-relationship. He's getting stronger and may get a spot in the trials next year so why fret? He got into being Mirajane's partner, and he would follow through with it.
"You may not know it, but think about it," Erza retorted. "She's using you temporarily for her to get a damn promotion. Can't you understand that!"
"It's nothing! Now I was wondering if you can help me clean my apartment please!" said Coby, raising his voice and causing a few others to turn towards the spectacle. Cana smirked.
"Ah, I get it. Make Mira jealous by asking her rival to help you clean house? This may be interesting," said the alcoholic. Coby blanched.
"No! That's not what I had in mind!"
"Had what in mind?" responded Erza.
"Coby!" barked an all too familiar voice. Coby paled and turned around, and there was Mirajane, arm's crossed, with her siblings behind her.
"Hi Coby!" waved Lisanna. Coby waved back dumbly as Mirajane marched over towards him.
"We're going on a job together and you're coming with us! Chop chop!" She grabbed Coby by the scruff of his shirt and began dragging him. Suddenly she stopped, sniffing, and paled.
"Guh! You haven't washed your clothes yet after all this time you've been here! What are you, a slob!" The verbal abuse continued as she spun him around, inspecting him. Coby was completely at her mercy.
"Well this is only set of clothes I got…" But he felt another tug and saw Erza grabbing his other hand.
"Mirajane! I know that you've been using poor Coby here to pass the S-class exam! Explain yourself!"
"I ain't explaining myself to the likes of you! Now buzz off!" barked Mirajane as she tugged his left arm.
"So you admit it! Unhand him!" Erza tugged on his right. The marine began to feel some déjà vu…
"Can I just ask you guys to help me clean my house and get me clothes please!" he yelled, hoping to defuse a possible powder keg. Now some bystanders in the guild were looking at him, and the girls looked at him as well.
"Why do you need help cleaning your apartment?" asked Elfman, speaking for the first time.
"I just moved in and it's messy and barren. I was wondering if you could assist me into making it look at least presentable and livable. Please?" he pleaded as both girls looked at him, thinking of their answers.
"I'll be happy to help! I'll get Natsu and Happy and they'll help too!" chirped Lisanna as she skipped through the hall to find the younger pinkette.
"Lisanna! Get back here!" But she was already out of reach. Mirajane turned towards her younger brother. "Elfman bring her back here!" Elfman nodded in obedience to his older sister and ran off. Now she turned back towards Coby.
"So you need help cleaning house huh?" The marine nodded dumbly. Mirajane shrugged.
"Sure I'll help out," she said in a nonchalant manner. "Don't need to overwork myself with jobs. Besides, my arm could use a break after being nearly blown up anyway." Erza scowled.
"Didn't you just say that you were going on a job? I'll be happy to help Coby out. Besides my room is tidier than yours, which proves I'm a better cleaner." Mirajane sneered at her.
"Oh really?" Now she let go of the marine and butted heads with the Requip mage, sparks flying in-between their eyes.
"Yeah I can clean better than you ever will Succubus."
"I doubt it firecrotch." Coby looked sheepish but he didn't want his friends to fight just to see who could help him clean his apartment.
"Uh…Erza…Mira…please don't-"
"Stay out of this!" they snapped, causing him to yelp and shut up.
"Girls, why don't you prove it?" said Cana, causing the girls to turn towards the brunette. "Why don't you both help clean Coby's pad, then see who does better? Compare and Contrast your styles. How about that?" She took out a deck of odd looking cards and shuffled through them, picking out four at random. Both the Requip and Take Over mage turned towards each other.
"Fine. I'll prove to you once and for all I can manage and clean better than you ever will firecrotch." Mirajane gave a smirk.
"Bring it on," replied Erza with equal fervor. Coby looked a bit flabbergasted.
"So…you'll both help?" Both girls nodded.
"Yep. After we take you shopping for new clothes. You are not staying in those duds forever, understand me?" Mirajane retorted with a tone wanting no defiance.
"For once we agree on something. He did smell a bit…" Coby deflated on Erza's comment. He sniffed himself and paled.
"Yeah…I need new clothes."
With that said, the Marine, the Requip and Take Over mages walked out the guild hall together, the girls glaring at each other with Coby in the center, looking a bit uncomfortable as the young teens had looks that could kill. Cana watched the spectacle in amusement and flipped three of the four cards over.
"Hmmm…The Sun, which symbolizes steadfastness and reliability…no matter how bleak the situation, things will be alright in the end. The Ace of Cups, which predicts the potential of a long and passionate bond. And the Three of Cups which signifies different people working together and achieving happiness…" She was about to flip the next card before a voice interrupted her.
"Hey Cana." She perked up and saw Laxus sitting down in the seat next to her. "Have you seen Coby by any chance?" Cana let a small smile grace her lips.
"Yeah. He left towards his new apartment in order to start cleaning it up. Erza and Mirajane left to go help him." Laxus' eyes quirked.
"Erza? And Mirajane? I gotta go save him before that powder keg erupts. Thanks for letting me know." Laxus ran out of the hall. Cana was about flip the next card until she heard giggling. The brunette turned around and Lisanna leading Natsu by the hand out of the guild hall, slowing down to keep a distance from Laxus. She saw the distress on Natsu's face but Cana assumed he could put up with it.
'That boy is gonna be so whipped when they get older,' thought Cana as she finally flipped the last card.
It was Death, riding on his spectral steed over a calm stream.
It was enough to strike fear into the heart of almost any man. The appearance of the Death card has a similar effect on most people outside of those who understood the Tarot, although it really should not. Whether one likes it or not, Death is one of the most powerful cards in the Tarot and Cana knew how powerful it could be. Humans naturally fear the unknown, and so Death is their greatest fear because it cannot be identified. It does not discriminate; therefore all titles, all social standing, and all achievements made in life are rendered pointless before death. That is why Death is so terrifying. The majority of humans are unaware that their mind and spirit die all the time, constantly shedding old beliefs and acquiring new ones upon a cycle of rebirth. It has been said many times: the Death card is not just a card of death, but it is a card of transformation.
'In the Tarot, as in reality, Death is nothing more than a transition to the next level of life. Whether you believe that a soul goes to heaven or back to Earth to be reincarnated, the fact remains that the soul lives on. The candle is extinguished, but only because the day has come. The river shown on the Death card is a symbol, showing that life will go on, no matter what disastrous things happen. The river water will reach the sea, rise into the clouds, then rain onto the land to flow into the river again. Nothing is destroyed, because nothing can be destroyed - there can be only transformation,' thought Cana to herself. What did this mean? The young brunette took another swig as she inspected the cards again.
There is the Ace of Cups, signifying the beginning of potential satisfying and passionate relationship. It doesn't really symbol a romantic relationship per se, it could mean a great friendship, a relationship that is similar to brothers, sisters, brother and sister, and so forth. Or possibly a parent-like relationship. The Sun defined that there will be order and everything will be all right in the end. So even in ones darkest hour, it is only the darkest before the dawn, and with the dawn comes order. The Three of Cups signified different people working together and attaining a common goal. And there was Death, where change is, or maybe was, forced upon someone and is forever changed.
"What does this mean…" pondered Cana. Never in her young life had she studied such an diverse yet unique Tarot before…
A few hours later
Coby carried several bags of clothes, all belonging to him. The shopping took a bit longer than he liked due to both Mirajane and Erza picking out clothes for him and trying them on him. He felt like a child's doll for whatever reason. Why didn't the girls let him choose the clothes he wanted…he would have gotten by with just plain long sleeve shirts and blue pants, but they had to go above and beyond and make him buy clothes that were "fashionable". At least he bought some grubs for him to sleep and clean in and he would be cleaning the apartment in his clean new clothes. Why would he dirty up brand new clothes when he could just wear his already old ones?
Erza and Mirajane walked in front him, glaring at each other as usual as they walked on the busy street. But Coby realized that they didn't have any cleaning items…
"Hey girls?" the mentioned. They turned towards him.
"We forgot to buy some cleaning stuff…" said the marine. Mirajane realized this and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"I'll get it…you already spent a lot on the clothes and your funds are limited," groaned Mirajane as she was about to walk into a general store but was stopped by someone tugging her arm. She turned towards the redhead grabbing her arm.
"Let me buy it. I have a jewels to spare and besides, I feel that I need to pitch in anyway." Mirajane narrowed her eyes towards Erza.
"You? With jewels? Give me a break," scoffed Mirajane. But the armor wearing girl shoved past her, ignoring the comment, and walked into the store, leaving Coby and Mirajane to wait outside.
"So…why are you and Erza so…adverse towards each other?" asked the pinkette. The silver haired goth huffed.
"Why do you want to know?" Coby shrugged.
"Well…you guys seem so…hostile towards one another. What caused this rivalry between you two anyway?"
"For starters she stands up for those two immature brats Natsu and Gray," explained Mirajane. Coby remembered the two young kids, the fire using pinkette and the dark haired streaker, albeit by nature and not unintentional.
"Those two seem alright. What's wrong with them, other than Gray's tendency to strip?"
"Natsu is bad influence on Lisanna. I mean the kid is a total barbarian and can't stand transportation, not to mention he's totally unreliable and incredibly impulsive!" The marine quirked his head.
"So he gets motion sickness?" The goth nodded.
"Okay! Got what we needed!" explained Erza, carrying a bucket of various cleaning items and holding what looked like a broom on one end and a mop on the other.
"How convient!" exclaimed Coby when he saw the item. Erza smiled.
"It was on sale. Consider it a gift," smiled the redhead. The marine was touched.
"You don't need to…I mean…"
"No no…I insist, please accept it" pressured Erza, Mirajane scowling at her direction. Coby knew it would be rude to refuse, and she had paid with her own money as well.
"Well…okay then!" And the trio walked off for Coby's apartment. They reached his residence within an hour and walked inside.
"Yeah…this place needs cleaning for sure…" muttured Mirajane as she took note of the dust on the floor, on the walls, and basically covering every inch of the apartment.
"Yep…first things first we should-" He was interrupted by a flash of light behind him and turned around. Erza had been wearing full armor; now she was wearing a French maid outfit, complete with a frilly skirt and stockings along with a duster replacing her sword.
"Alright. Let's open all the windows first to get some breathing room!" chirped Erza as she walked towards the window. Coby was red in the face for Erza's choice of attire…could that frilly dress get any shorter? He felt a glowering presence and saw Mirajane giving him that look.
"No ideas…" she whispered in his ears. The marine stiffened up and nodded, emptying the bucket and getting to work…
Coby attacked the floors with fervor with his giant sponge. He powered his legs and sped down hard down the room. While he couldn't get any training in, he could at least do some legwork. The marine felt nostalgic as he cleaned as this type of work was similar to the old chores he used to do on Marine ships along with Helmeppo.
Mirajane worked on wiping the counters and windows while Erza swept. Thankfully the redhead didn't bend over too much. Coby stood up and brushed the sweat off his head.
"How's progress?" he asked.
"Okay. The windows are almost done," toned Mirajane as she wiped the small kitchen area with a wet cloth.
"I swept all the dust bunnies away. I'll take care of the bathroom next," chimed Erza. She moved her hand to her head and much to the marine's shock and the goth's ire...
She conjured bunny ears. Coby blinked in confusion.
"What's with the ears?" asked the pinkette. Mirajane kept on scowling at the redhead.
"I like 'em. Do you Coby?" asked Erza as she walked towards Coby, who started to blush a little. Here was a rather cute red-haired girl, in a French maid outfit, and bunny ears, asking for a complement. But behind him he could sense Mirajane's silent anger.
"Well…they're-"
"Hello my prince!" chirped a familiar voice, breaking the tension in the air immediately. The three occupants inside the apartment turned towards the door, seeing Laxus and two other shorter companions.
"Natsu! Lisanna! Laxus! How did you find my place?" asked the marine. Silently, he thanked for their timely intervention.
"I smelled you out that's how! And man did you reek!" laughed the younger pinkette before his ear was pinched by the smaller silver haired girl, causing him to yelp. The affair looked rather comical.
"Natsu! Don't say such things to my knight in shining armor! You need to use a proper manner of respect, and you should teach such things to Happy too!" scolded Lisanna.
"Careful with hs ear…" muttered Laxus as she was unintentionally tugging hard. While Natsu pleaded her to let go, Mirajane narrowed her eyes.
"Lisanna! How many times must I tell you! Don't hang out with him!" Erza now turned towards the goth, her face in fury.
"You're not the boss of her! Let her choose her own friends!" Now their heads were close to butting, now their full attention at each other.
"Piss off Rosebud! I'm her older sister!"
"Make me wrist-slicer!"
"Guys please stop! I don't wanna see you fighting!" urged Coby as he got in between the girls and shoved them away. "I hate it when comrades are fighting each other for redundant reasons! Why do you two argue and bicker?" demanded the marine as he raised his tone to high levels, causing everyone in the room to shut up.
"Answer me! Please!" Mirajane and Erza looked at each other, then back to Coby, then away again.
"I don't want Natsu influencing Lisanna…and Erza sticks up for him so… and…" But the redhead cut her off.
"Mirajane is totally confrontational, Coby. If there's one thing she likes it's conflict. Also..," Erza sneered towards Mirajane. "She likes to see Natsu cry." Coby turned towards the silver haired girl with shock on his face.
"Mira…" Mirajane turned away.
"It's true!" bellowed Natsu. "She says I'm cute when I cry, which is rarely never!"
"Rarely never doesn't make any sense…" said Laxus in a deadpan tone.
"So what if it matters? Can't we just go back to work and let bygones be bygones? Besides, I never meant-" huffed the silver haired mage. Coby remained silent as he walked out the door past Laxus.
"Coby, where are you going?" asked Erza as she followed after him.
"Shopping for furniture. I'll change later…" he replied silently and walked down the street with his shoulders slumped. Erza felt ashamed and turned towards Mirajane as she walked past Natsu and Lisanna. There was an awkward silence before the door closed, and Erza let loose her fury.
"Now look what you done you bitch!" she yelled, no longer in an adverse rival-like of way, but with pure anger.
"You're saying it's my fault! If you didn't come here, this all never would have happened you skank!" retorted Mirajane in response.
"Don't you blame me! You're a cruel person and how Coby puts up with the likes of you is beyond me, no wonder you're latching onto him like a piece of meat!"
"Shut it! At least I don't have a fake eye like you! I'm sure boys get turned off by that! You must go cross-eyed sometimes!" Now they were dangerously close to a fight, Erza dispelling her French maid costume for battle armor and drawing her sword. Laxus had to defuse the situation, otherwise these two would be at each other's throats as real, bloodthirsty enemies.
"At least I wasn't abandoned by my parents because they didn't love me and saw me as a burden!" Now Mirajane transformed her hands into her demon claws, her face seething with rage.
"Take that back!"
"You first slut!"
Laxus turned towards where Lisanna and Natsu were standing to see their reactions to the swearing, and saw only Natsu. The lightning mage paled.
Lisanna was gone.
"Stop this!" he yelled. He jumped towards them and grabbed Erza's sword and Mirajane's claws. "Lisanna is gone!" Mirajane's face deflated in an instant and Natsu turned towards where the youngest of the Take Over siblings was standing and gasped. He ran out the door to check, but there was no sign of her or Coby. Just a massive crowd of people commercing.
"See what you done Mirajane! You scared her off!" yelled Natsu, mustering the courage to stand up to his tormenter as Mirajane looked ashamed.
"There's no time to be pointing fingers! Let's go and find them before something happens to her!" bellowed Laxus.
"I'll find her! Leave her to my nose!" Natsu nodded and ran out first, followed by Laxus. Mirajane ran after the blonde with Erza following behind. Deep down, both girls were feeling similar feelings, one more so than the other. They both were worried for Lisanna's welfare and felt that they made a serious mistake in fighting, especially when it came to someone who's sensitive like the pink haired Rokushiki user and the younger Take Over sibling.
Both girls sought to apologize to both children and to each other for their misbehavior, and they both looked at each other and nodded.
Their rivalry must be cast aside for the sake of finding one of their own.
Coby walked aimlessly around town trying to find a furniture shop before sitting down on one of the canal ledges, brooding.
He should never have asked Mirajane and Erza to help him clean…all it did really was worsen the rivalry between the two. He remembered the glances the two were throwing at each other. How could two comrades dislike each other so immensely? Natsu and Gray were easy to understand, as they were complete opposites, Natsu being a fire mage and Gray an Ice Make mage, as informed by Cana. But the two girls took it up to eleven with their rivalry that seemed to border on sheer hatred. Was it women's pride? The marine heard from Laxus on the train ride back from Zakuro that Erza could be a possible candidate for next year for the S-Class trials, so maybe Mirajane felt her presence as one of the strongest females in Fairy Tail threatened. Was it that Lisanna spent more time with Natsu more than her? Or maybe it was the two girls' upbringing? Coby didn't know.
'Why do women have to be so damn confusing?' he thought as he looked down at the water, looking back at himself via his reflection.
Suddenly he felt a tug on his shoulder and looked behind him.
Smiling at him was a beaming Lisanna. For whatever reason she didn't seemed sad.
"Hey Princey!" chirped the younger girl as she sat down next to him as if she hadn't have a care in the world. "What'cha doin?"
"Uh…pondering…I have no clue where a shop that sells furniture is here in Magnolia…and I guess I needed some air…" Coby looked a bit downtrodden. Maybe he should have done the work by himself…that way what the girls did would never have happened.
"Erza and Mirajane can get into fights sometimes, but it's usually to see who's the better girl mage or for my sake or heck, even the smallest thing. Don't let it get to ya," smiled Lisanna up to the taller pinkette.
"Yeah…but still, the way they were fighting didn't seem like a rivalry at all…I mean I understand Gray and Natsu but…"
"There's nothing to worry about Coby! After all, we are all members of Fairy Tail. We are one big happy family! And so what if two sisters fight. I wouldn't be surprised if Mira fought with Erza because she somewhat cares for her. I mean Mira never fights with me, so maybe that's it. She's taking that 'fight energy' on her instead me because she loves us that much." Coby's eye quirked.
"Really? Like a sort of 'tough love' situation between the two?" Lisanna nodded.
"Yep! Their rivalry keeps each other motivated to get stronger and it keeps them on each other's toes. You should have seen their reaction when Mirajane was selected to be a Trial candidate!" She giggled while Coby tried to picture it in his mind. He sort of chuckled as well.
"Yeah, I guess Erza would be a bit jealous and Mirajane would be a bit cocky," commented the pinkette. The two looked off into the sky, watching the boats pass and the townspeople going about their lives behind them.
"Wanna go get the furniture? I'll help pick! I have quite the fine taste if I say so myself," said the younger Take Over sibling. Coby smiled.
"Sure thing," he agreed, and the two stood up and walked off, Lisanna in the lead. Suddenly she turned around and closed her eyes and smiled, grabbing his hand.
"Let's go prince! The furniture isn't going to buy itself!" she exclaimed as Lisanna pulled Coby to keep up with her. The affair of a 11 year old girl pulling a 14 year old boy through a crowd made a few bystanders chuckle in amusement and the occasional female onlooker cooed.
'Least I know why Natsu doesn't resist. She has a strong grip...but soft too...'
A challenger appears! Just kidding…
I'm getting PMs demanding the pairing, well I'm saying this: it's not set in stone. Mirajane could very well hang onto him, or she could lose him to the likes of Erza, Lucy, Levy or even Lisanna (but that's tittering near pedo territory now isn't it? But there was that loli Rika from early One Piece that hung out with Coby…) But I digress. I am not planning the pairing subject far in the future, only fight scenes. I have thought up of numerous scenarios for each girl should they win, so stop pestering me. I am not planning things out, I just write from a chap to chap basis save for important events.
No action this chapter, mainly character development. Next chapter will have the next job and the resolution to this lil conflict thing going on with our circle of Fairy Tail mages.
I'm also thinking about making a Naruto fic(with the help from the legendary LD 1449 and EliadS of all people. Feels good having friends in high places), but considering my current load of 6 fics, 2 primary(this fic and Words) and the other 3 for incase I get Writers block, it's unlikely. Not to mention I currently despise the main characters in Naruto as is (one is a two dimensional douche, the other a two dimensional immature raging homo, and the other useless and bitchy). But seeing how populous the fandom is, I may lure readers from there to here, and vice versa.
Also I noticed that I tend to update this fic far more often than my others, and it maybe due it's popularity, so I wanna thank you, the readers. It's thanks to you all that I hit over 5.2k hits!
