Hello, I just want to say thank you to everyone. I know I am back sooner than anyone thought I would so I want to explain what is going on and what exactly happened. On March 26, 2017, my grandmother passed away. She passed peacefully while my family and I were watching the baptism of the newest addition to our family, my cousin Jamie. I was devastated and never took grief very well, some misguided notion that I had to be the strongest there so that I could help everyone get through it. However, I had about 500 words left in the newest chapter of the Snake's Successor so I thought 'maybe I could finish that real quick' and I did. I then thought that since I did that much I could still write stories on here. I was very, very wrong. Every chapter I wrote was so bad and sometimes I just broke down in the middle of writing. I was too stubborn to admit that I needed a break until Thursday, one day after the funeral. Now, three days afterwards, I am feeling good enough to write again as well as I did before. It may not seem like a long break, but to be perfectly honest, I cannot stand not writing and I think it is time for me to return to it. I would like to thank all of the people on here who offered their condolences, my faithful followers who stayed even though they didn't know when the next chapter would come up, and my friends and family for helping me get through this grief. I still don't know when I'm going to write as well as I did before, but hopefully it won't take much longer to do so. Now, I would like to talk about all of my stories I am working on from oldest ones to the newest ones. If you don't care about the ones that you are not reading just skip to the one you are. Also, I am not going to explain the entire story to everyone. If you want to know what it is, read the summaries on my profile.

The Prince's General: For those that don't know, this is my first and only Dragon Ball Z story and is one of my oldest. I have not updated in months because I can't find a good way to write the next chapter and I just don't want to. It is about an OC character being Vegeta's bodyguard and best friend throughout the story, if you want more information read the summary, and it has great promise and I've thought up major plot points in the story. However, I always find myself wanting to play on Xbox, or my computer, or write Naruto fanfiction instead and end up never working on this story. For that I am sorry, but it is not going to change any time soon. Maybe one day I will work on this story again but that is not until I want to do it more than the others.

The Snake's Successor: This is by far my favorite story to write and you guys can probably see that in all of the updates I do. Basically it is what would have happened if Naruto was kidnapped by Orochimaru and raised by him, if he was actually a better person than people thought anyway. I have the major plot points picked out, and may add more in the future, and will probably write a sequel at a certain point in the story just because how long it is going to be. I am a huge fan of detailed summaries and detailed descriptions so it will take a little while to finish this story, but I will try to keep you all interested the whole time.

A Demon's Mercy: This is another of my stories that I am kind of interested in. The problem is that I am still not 100% sure what I want to do with it. What I want to do eventually is have Sarutobi end the war before it even begins and show everyone the true side of Naruto Uzumaki over time but I have trouble getting to that point. I can still do it however, but it is a bit more difficult for me to write this story because it is so different from all of my others. However, I am not giving it up, it just will take longer to update than other stories.

The Shinobi Alchemist: This is one of my stories that I am most interested in and I am actually excited to get to the points I want to. The problem is, writing about baby years is BORING and there is not much going on in this time period in Naruto. That is one of the reasons that it is taking so long to update this story, because it is very hard for me to find a way to make the world seen from a baby's eyes interesting. I will find a way eventually to move this story along so don't worry though.

The Transforming Demon: This is another story I am very interested in. This story is actually different from the others since I did not really think how few monsters that Naruto is able to transform into are actually in the Fairy Tail world. This is why, even though I love writing it, it takes a bit more time for me to write it since I either have to create a new monster from scratch with a description or research one weak enough for Naruto to kill for now. Anyway, not only that but I am busy writing other stories before this one, like the Snake's Successor or The Shinobi Alchemist. However, don't fret because I love writing this story and won't give it up soon.

Akatsuki Antics: This story is hysterical to me and I already have a new idea planned for it. This is my first complete crack fic and I love it. I hope to add more and more chapters in the future that are just as funny as the wrathful pocky god.

Anyway, those are all the stories I am currently working on and I want to thank everyone one more time for being so considerate of my situation. Once again, I know it is sooner than you all thought my break would take, but you have no idea how much I appreciated all of you guys' support. Hopefully, nothing like this will happen again anytime soon and I can have a clear mind while writing. I will see you all in the next chapter of your respective stories, goodbye and really, thank you.
