This disclaimer applies to the entire story this point on.

Author's Note Introduction

Pretty Please, read this?

I'm applying the four year school system to this story, aka US. So school starts in august and ends in late April for summer break. Please pretend the island does get chilly in the later months. There isn't a geography quiz after this story.

I know nothing about real music production. I'm making it up as I go. I know I'm breaking all these music rules and reality here. But hey, it's for FUN! I'm using the band name Evanescence and their songs because of the way the songs are. It fits perfectly with the story. And, believe it or not, Amy's name was not based off of the real singer, Amy Lee. It was just a strange coincidence, considering I made up all the original characters long before putting this story idea together!

And I know little of Kira's foster parents, the Yamatos, but I know they're really nice people. But for the sake of this FAN FICTION (don't know the definition? Look it up), I'm playing on the power of OOC-ness.

I have been lucky in that I've never been abused or seen someone abused. Only stories. Sorry if my abuse and lemony stuffs aren't up to hack. But yes, this story does contain violence, foul language, lemons, and a hint of gang and incest rape. Deal or leave.

And finally, if you really have a problem reading this for whatever reason, feel free to back out and leave only constructive remarks. NO FLAMES. It's not worth either of our time, since I will just delete useless words. (Exp – Had a YGO story with a Joey and Mai pairing. Someone flamed claiming it was horrible and wrong because it's supposed to be Joey and Seto, especially after I announced the pairing at the first chapter. That was just pointless and…uhg! Not worth any time at all. Don't do it. It's plain ignorance.)

Also, I HAD come up with the idea of using some of the old relationships as done in the series. I.e. Kira and Athrun knew each other in elementary school, Cagalli and Kira never met until they were teens, Lacus and Athrun were an 'item' until high school, etc. But I was half way through writing the story for once when this idea came to me! Since I have changed it like 10 times already, I couldn't do that to myself. So sorry!

On that note, I am sorry this story may not be all that it can be. I've been messing with it for 5+ years and I just wanna write something and get it OUT OF MY MIND!

I hope to be consistent with updating so please review to keep me inspired or if you find a nasty glitch that drives you all mad. I am a busy woman what with finishing the semester here and then moving to Japan soon for school, so take some initiative and kick my muse around.

Thanks to Kiyomi-chan for being one of my muses (and she's not up for kicking).

And now, the Prologue of My Tourniquet
