Hello everyone. I'm typing this to tell everyone I didn't just suddenly disappear. ^^;;

I know most of you who read this will be all, "What the heck? She's gone for months and suddenly comes back with no new update and only with a stupid note instead?!"

Well, yes. Exactly that, I'm afraid. ):

The thing is, I could've swore I put an author's note saying that I would be on a hiatus until I got everything organized (my life, my stories, and even school things). Obviously I have not. And I do sincerely apologize! D: I really thought I did and when I logged in today, I realized there was no author's note!

And well, I wrote a little of the beginning of chapter ten, but I decided not to post it here because then I'd just be torturing all of my readers even more. XD;

So yes, I will refrain from doing so until I'm finished with the chapter. Sorry to disappoint everyone. I really do hate it when I fail to make my readers happy with a brand new update, but it's just not possible at this time. )':

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention! I've been improving on my English vocabulary skills and such, so when I do come back with chapter ten, I guarantee it'll have less errors in grammar and such of that sort! It'll have much more details and hopefully will be more interesting and fun for you guys! :D

I cannot promise I'll be quick in updating chapter ten though, sorry to say. But cross your fingers; you never know! :D Hopefully it'll be soon!

Anyways, I guess that is it for now! :)

Zero: *grumbles* Akina is an idiot.
Yuuki: I agree. *sigh* Akina-chan, why are you not updating?
Akina: I'm sorry, Zero, Yuuki. I don't have enough time. T___T
Kaname: That is no excuse! YOU WILL UPDATE, OR ELSE!
Akina: You can't threaten me! I'm the author of this fanfiction and I will be the one who controls on EVERYTHING THIS STORY CONTAINS! WHICH MEANS YOU TOO! SO BE QUIET! OR ELSE!
Kaname: Shut up, woman! You cannot threaten a pure blood! It is unacceptable!
Akina: AAAAAARG!

(Kaname and Akina start to argue)

Yuuki: There they go again. *sigh*
Zero: Stop sighing and just leave them alone.
Yori: Oh cool, when did we start to gather here? Wow, haven't been back here since April!
Zero: I know. Akina has been neglecting us...
Yuuki: ... Oh my gosh, Zero! Are you actually crying?!
Zero: *sniffle*
Yori: O_____O Okaaaaaay.
Yuuki: You know what, this is just stupid. Let's get out of here and just wait until Akina updates. At least we have more vacation time!
Yori: You're right, Yuuki-chan. Vacation time should not be taken for granted.

(Kaname and Akina still arguing in the background)

Zero: *sobs* I miss being in this fanfic.
Yuuki and Yori: We miss you everyone! Akina is sorry for making Zero cry, so please don't destroy her! And we, including Akina-chan, hope that everything is well with you and your lives! Take care and we hope to see you soon for chapter ten! :)
