Ohayo! I decided to completely fix up the original chapter, hope this is better!

... Anything could be better than the old chapter.


Shizuka Tsukiko could only stare, her odd-eyed gaze directed towards a small slip of paper.

This may not be the best way to tell you something like this but, you know me, always to the point!

Mother says the clan's in danger. We're glad you're away, traveling and all that. Remember those Kumo-nin that showed up a year or so ago?

Though she knew it was idiotic and pointless to do so, but she nodded numbly as she read this. How could she forget, after they had killed her father?

Well, we think they may be abducting, or killing clan members. People've been going missing, and things just haven't been going well in general around here. By the time you get this letter, we'll most likely be dead. No, don't mope or have a fit. Actually, it's fine to throw a fit.

Shizuka scowled down at the last statement, tears blurring her vision.

Carry on the clan name, and know that we're all proud of you, niichan!

- Your loving otouto, Kuroya

She sat down heavily, hot tears streaking her face and dripping down her chin. Shizuka's amber and sky-blue eyes glared around the darkening woods, as if searching for someone to blame. She sobbed, her shoulder shakings and her hands trembling, crinkling the letter.

Tears left dark stains on the creamy paper, and she slipped it into her pocket.

PS: I love you, niichan.


Well, on that happy note~

Yup, I really changed her story and stuff! Hope it's not crap anymore~

This is a REALLY short chapter, isn't it?
