Gaara's never had a crush before. That is, until y/n came along. The council may have arranged a marriage for him already, but y/n causes him to question whether his duty is to the village or in pursuit of the rare notion known as happiness.
Neji Hyūga is spoken for. He's known this to be his reality his entire life. He's to marry as the clan declares it, all in the hopes of passing on his Byakugan to the next generation. But, one night, he hears y/n sing. And he can't stop thinking about their voice. It haunts his every action for days. Weeks. He fears he may go mad if he never finds them.
As the newest member of the Akatsuki, Y/N expected to have to earn the others' trust. To Itachi, she's off limits. He has an expiration date. There's no point when his life is coming to a close. And, yet, in a moment of weakness, he unravels.
When y/n returns from a long term, covert assignment over seas, she finds comfort in the person who never stopped carrying a flame for her: Kirishima Eijirou.
[Read Premise!] Y/N's family saves them from Kirigakure's Kekkei Genkai purge by fleeing to Konohagakure. They enroll in the academy, unaware that their Kekkei Genkai is far from a hereditary gift; they're the first bender seen in generations. Kirigakure will stop at nothing to regain their lost asset. This is a cross over AU in which the chakra natures in Naruto are based on A:TLA style chakra, instead! It's Choose Your Own Adventure. Edit your element as you see fit (I chose water bending purely because of the ties to Kirigakure). Romance someone! Join Sasuke! Defect to the Akatsuki! The world is your oyster.
