Eh... All I can say is that I'm a lousy writer sometimes. I don't have a very good work ethic. I'll try to keep up with my stories more so this summer (2006). Here's Short #2; has a bit of a canon/AU feel sort of thing going on.

Twisted Fairytales - Naruto Style
Story 2: Specter Bridegrooms

Short 2: Starcrossed Lovers (SasuSaku)

There were two people I cared about very much. One was like my brother. We argued and competed at everything (He was so stuck up!). The other was like my sister and my first crush. She whacked my head every time I made a lame comment and shot me down at any chance I asked for a date (She so beautiful but wickedly strong). Although he denied it very much, he loved her very much. She did loved him strongly too, but more vocally than him (In a crazy fan-girlish way, I guess).

However, they were always torn apart. One was by revenge; the other was by self-weakness. I felt emptiness inside because of that.

One day they met at the memorial stone and spoke to each other about their parting. They decided in three years time they would seek each other out and find anything worth salvaging about their love. They kissed the last time and my 'brother' left.

I remember one day and I found my 'sister' out by the sea. She was sitting on a rock and it was rapidly reaching high tide. I called out to her worriedly, but she never responded. I frantically tried to find something that would catch her attention I then lost sight of her (Which is hard because she has bright pink hair!). I suddenly found my 'brother' with his arm around her waist. I got down from the rocks I was on and waited on the beach for the pair to come up. I was going to yell at her for being in trouble and yell at him for getting all the credit!

But neither of them ever came to shore that night.

All I heard was a gentle sigh of relief from the ocean tide that sounded a little like their voices.

Next morning I found myself in the hospital. The police said they found her body near where I was asleep. They asked me questions about it. I claimed I didn't know. Later I found news of two brothers' dead (murder/suicide).

I do know that my brother and sister are happy where they are now.

That's what matters.

END NOTES: Well?
