BEFORE YOU READ ANYTHING READ THIS. YOU MUUUUUSTTTT: My notifications arent working! That means that FanFiction isnt sending me notifications of you guys reviewing. Which, to say the least, is making me pissed. BUT still write reviews! I check manually every week or so and reply to as many as best as I possibly can. But even if I dont reply to you, I just want to say that I am SO thankful for all of the reveiws! {3

You guys are probably going to throw rocks at me for saying this but after many nights trying to come up with excu- after many nights of trying to come up with the motivation to write for this story, I tried getting out of my writers block by working with my OCs. And... I got caught up in that. So that is what the delay is.

Do not worry.

I WILL CONTINUE THIS STORY EVEN IF IT KILLS ME.

But while I was goofing off, I wrote some pretty spanking (my new word. Look for it in Sakura's vocab ;D) things on my DevinatArt where all of my OC's live. Come visit me 'nd leave some luv?

Heres a snippet of one of my OC stories from a Meme:

(oh, warning: lots o' cursing because Jace (the person who's in first person) has such a dirty mouth. Like Hidan. But not as cool/famous/sexy)

It was just me and her. To tell the truth, she had height. Who knew that the most innocent person that I wanted to burn on the street could turn into a freaking wolf? I shook out my bloody feathers and looked over her marks. Her thick fur was singed in some places, she was bloody but her breathing wasn't labored at all! And mine was.

Well fuck.

I readied my fire behind me and she let out a snarl. She had chomped off my hand, and it hurt like a bitch mind you, and had clawed my back along with my wings. I couldn't keep this up. But I already died once, and I couldn't do it again.

Faster than I could comprehend, the large animal lunged and snapped its huge jaws around my body. I felt several bones break and my fire immediately attacked the monster in the face, probably trying to blind her. She let out a small howl but only chomped down on me harder.

Now let me explain the pain. It hurt like a mad bitch. My arm was completely cut off; my legs were pinned with a huge tooth stuck through them like a shish-ka-bob, I couldn't feel one of my wings (probably because it wasn't there) and I was losing blood very fast. I wanted to scream right then and there and just die, but my manly man pride wouldn't let me do that. So I attacked even harder with my fire and soon I felt her loosen up her hold.

Springing out of her jaws, I watched her drop to the ground with a thunderous thump and slowly her body began to shift back into a human. I fell to my stomach, bleeding and becoming dizzy, watching her own blood seep from her body. Her face was completely burned off and some parts of her body were black. I saw her chest rise… fall… rise… fall… nothing. Grinning to myself, I closed my eyes and slowly felt the life leave me.

At least I won.
