Author's Drabble before the Story:

This started out as a simple intro and spawned a page, so I'll set it separate so you can skip all this if you want. Story starts on next page. n.n

Alrighty! Sorry about how long it took to get this out; my muse is being a muffle, muffle and it wasn't flowing.

After discussing things through with my Rai-chan and a few other people I trust, I decided to leave the lemon out of this story. I know, I've written some damn good lemons,but…so far, the other stories have been FLUFF and rated very low. In deference to those who may be younger or just not care for such things, I have decided to keep this series fairly fluffy and lemon-free.

I did write a lemon for their first encounter. IM me if you want it. I'm not going to post it.

This series is, for the most part, done. I might add moments of fluffy goodness in the future as little one-shot stories if the mood strikes me; this would be a good series to attach such fluffballs to. But there shouldn't be anymore long stories.

I'm working on several things right now-a request fic featuring a Kakashi and Iruka (angst drabble), a request fic featuring Iruka and Jiraiya (lemon, you guys are so…sigh), a request ficcie starring Shino and Genma (You guys are reaching now, LMAO!) and what started out as a simple question about the events in Break that's spawning a fricken epic story. That's going to be a while. n.n Special thanks to everyone I bothered with the question about the lemon in this story who gave me really good advice. You know who you are. I luv you!

Sorry the intro got so long. Enjoy the story!

Rowan.
