Author's Note: Heheh, you all probably hate me right now, huh? I know I haven't updated in…*cringe* three weeks, but this time I have a legitimate reason…at least, I think so. I swear, I thought I put a chapter up like, two weeks ago. I did the whole 'document manager' thing and uploaded it to the thing, and then added a new chapter onto Deception and thought it was working. Well, turns out, my computer was going through a bunch of updates and restarted like, right after I thought I uploaded and updated the story. I guess the whole 'restart' thing messed up the process or something. Yeah, it pissed me off when I find out, three days later, that no chapter was posted.

And even worse, I honestly don't know wtf happened, but a lot of my files that I chose to delete were still in my documents and some files I DIDN'T want deleted were gone…guess what they were. Yup. The next two chapters of the story. So now, I have to redo all the chapters (they were still rough drafts but had a lot of stuff on them) and I can hardly remember what I wrote since it was two weeks ago and I'm making this story up as I go. It sucks. I don't know wtf was going on with my computer but its better now…I think. Idk, im still getting used to this damn thing lol. I'm an sincerely sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but I am getting waaaay busier and I won't be able to update or even write any chapters for the next week because I'm going to BAAAAAND CAAAAAMP!

The poll is going down by tonight for any last minute voters and so far we are going to stick with Ishida/Orihime, Renji/Rukia, and some other little side pairings. There may be a little drama, as in Rukia might be torn between Ichigo and Renji and Renji will get jealous and Ichigo will be confused and everyone will be tense but that's just a little fun stuff for me. xD

Thank you all for your patience and the fact that you might not kill me yet, and I will try to get out a few chapters when I get back. I love you all, you're all great, and I promise the story will pick up speed in a few days.

Ciao~!
