Hello! I am back and bringing with me a new chapter of Love Under a Bloodred Sky! This chapter is called Loosened Strings. Let's see if you can figure out why!
I am so sorry for the long length of time between the last chapter and this one. So sorry! But lately I've been in a sort of writter's slump. I really wanted to write this chapter and I knew exactly what I wanted to put in it, but everytime I opened up the document I just couldn't write anything. It felt as if my muse had completely left me. So I went back and read the reviews I've recieved for this story and it gave me motivation to finish the chapter but not exactly pull me out of the slump. I don't know whether it's because school's almost out for me (FIANALS! AHHHH!) or what, but it's really frustrating. Hopefully any reviews I may recieve for this chapter will be enough to pull me out. Maybe I just need to be reassured that people like me. Lol.
Oh and at some point, I'm going to go and change the title of this fic from Love Under a Bloodred Sky to Love Under a Blood Red Sky. I'm just putting a space between blood and red because lately it's been looking like an awkward word that's annoying me.
Anyways, onward with the story!

What? Why aren't my little stars showing up that I use to indicate time is passing? Oh well, I guess I'll just have to use something else.....okay, if you see ~.~ those marks are replacements for my stars. Hopefully they'll show up for the next chapter! Awp! It won't let me align the title in the center! Curse technology!
Chapter 10 ((W00T!))
Loosened Strings
Inuyasha sat cross-legged on his bed. His left elbow rested on his knee and he supported his head with his hand while his other hand was tapping furiously against the bed. Today was Saturday, a day where people go and do whatever they want such as going to town or swimming in the lake; Inuyasha chose to spend the day staring across his cabin at the wall.
It's actually quite funny how quick something you're dreading comes.
His eyes lowered to his phone sitting next to him. The time read 9:50 a.m. Only five minutes have passed since he last looked at it. He growled. Why couldn't it just be the evening already?
Inuyasha growled and let himself fall onto his side. He was getting very exasperated.
Not only was today Saturday, but it was also the day that the parents and guardians of the few remaining campers came to visit the camp. He was currently thinking of what he would do when Sesshomaru came. One thing he did know was that he wanted to ask him about what happened in the caves in the previous month. It was after that that had him worried. Would they get caught up in one of their staring matches? Or would they start arguing? Or would Sesshomaru just pretend that he didn't exist like he usually does? Inuyasha hoped it was the latter.
He checked his phone again. 9:52. Damn.
The door opened and Miroku entered, sporting a bright red handprint on his face. Inuyasha just stared at it.
Miroku touched his face gingerly and winced a bit, but a look of contentment was apparent on his features. "Inuyasha," he said.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Yeah?" he answered though he didn't really need to. Miroku didn't need encouragement to continue when he was talking about females or their bodies.
"I'll tell you, Sango hits very hard, but the feel of her butt is totally worth it."
"I'm sure it is," Inuyasha mumbled sarcastically.
Miroku walked over to Inuyasha's bed and climbed up the ladder until he could see his friend. "Y'know, Inuyasha, you always seem to be a little uptight. Maybe you should express your feelings towards the female anatomy. It may prove to be relaxing."
Inuyasha slowly moved his eyes and leered at Miroku. "I'm giving you five seconds to get the hell away from me before I lop of a certain body part so you'll never even go near a woman again. And I do not mean your hands."
Miroku just chuckled nervously and scurried down the later and to a corner as far as possible away from Inuyasha.
Inuyasha checked the time.
9:54.
~.~
Kikyou slipped a pink tank top on and checked it in the mirror. It was not good. The shirt was loose and the straps were sliding off her shoulders. She cried out in frustration and tore the shirt off. Standing in a pair of denim shorts and her bra, she looked about the cabin. Rejected clothes were strewn everywhere.
Her stomach growled. She walked over to where her suitcase lied and pulled out a granola bar. She took a bite of it. As she tried to swallow, her stomach felt queasy and her throat closed around her. She spit the morsel out and tossed the rest of the bar away.
Someone knocked on the door.
"If it's Yuki, go away!" Kikyou snarled.
The door opened and Kagome stepped in. She giggled. "Am I okay?" she asked.
Kikyou turned to her and smiled a bit. "Yeah, you're fine."
Kagome walked over to Kikyou's bunk, tossed off a green halter top and sat down. She drew her knees to her chest. "What's up?"
Kikyou shrugged and rubbed her forehead. "I just can't find anything to wear."
Kagome tapped her forefinger to her chin. Her face lit up and she pulled off her baby blue tee-shirt with a penguin on the front and tossed it at Kikyou. "Here, try this."
Kikyou caught the shirt and pulled it on over her head. She breathed a sigh of relief. It fit. "Thanks; it's perfect." Kagome just smiled and slipped on Kikyou's green halter top to match with her white shorts.
Kagome stood up. "It's Saturday; wanna come to town with me, Sango, and Ayame?"
Kikyou raised an eyebrow. "Just us girls, right?" she asked. Kagome nodded. Kikyou sighed with relief. "Okay, sure. It'd be nice to get out with my friends for once."
"Alright!" Kagome said. "C'mon, Sango's trying to get a hold of a bus."
Kikyou waved her ahead. "You go on, I'll catch up." Kagome nodded and exited the cabin. Kikyou turned back to the mirror. She lifted up the shirt and placed her hands on her waist. With one last sigh, she headed to the door, her hand placed over her growling stomach the entire time.
~.~
Kagome skipped down the hill Kikyou's cabin was situated on. When she got down to ground level again, she looked down at the borrowed halter top. 'Kikyou hasn't been looking too well lately,' Kagome thought. 'I wonder what's wrong. I'm a bit worried about her.'
Kagome was so absorbed in her thoughts she wasn't looking where she was going. She tripped and fell flat on her face. "Ow," she muttered, getting to her knees. Someone started laughing behind her. She flinched. 'Please don't let it be who I think it is," Kagome silently willed. Slowly she turned around with her eyes closed. When she opened them, she swore silently. Standing behind her was tall, dark, and one hundred percent jerk.
"Inuyasha," she grumbled, and he just kept laughing.
"Oh, damn where is a camera when you need one?" he joked, walking over to her with Miroku next to her. She stood up and he knocked her forehead with the knuckle of his forefinger. "You're more spaced out than usual. I was calling you name pretty damn loud. And then you tripped." Inuyasha tried to keep his composure while he spoke, but when he got to the end of the last sentence he started laughing again.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "I didn't trip, I was just testing gravity. And it works." What Kagome planned to be a simple joke to weasel her way out of embarrassment only made Inuyasha laugh harder. Her face heated up.
Soon the laughter died down and Inuyasha's expression changed back to normal. Miroku cleared his throat and stepped forward. "Kagome weren't you wearing a different shirt earlier?" he asked.
Kagome frowned. How does a guy notice something like that? Maybe he was looking someplace he shouldn't have…? She grinned, and idea forming in her head. Why not torture the pervert a bit? "If you must know, Kikyou and I hosted a private strip show. Must've mixed up our shirts. Too bad you missed it," Kagome said, putting on a fake pitied look. Miroku balked a jealous look in his eye which caused Kagome to giggle. Inuyasha blushed and glared as if he didn't like the idea at all.
Kikyou showed up next to them. She grimaced and held her stomach as it flipped around, going at least 90 miles an hour. Kagome noticed her discomfort.
"Kikyou are you okay? You look a bit sick. Do you want to go lie down?" she asked.
Kikyou shook her head. "No. I think I just need a change of scenery. Do you know if Sango has the bus ready?"
"Oh, are you going to town?" Inuyasha asked. Kikyou nodded. "Cool, can we come? I haven't been yet and I still need to try a different flavor of ice cream." He blushed as remember what happened between him and Kagome the night the deal was set.
Kikyou's eyes widened. "No! I mean, I'd really rather it just be us girls. Y'know, for some girl time."
Inuyasha looked slightly taken aback from Kikyou's outburst. "Uh, yeah, sure. I—" he stole a glance at Miroku who had the same expression. "Miroku and I can just go some other time." Kikyou nodded, mumbled an apology, and hurried over to where Sango was supposed to be with the bus. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Kagome watched her leave with the same questioning expressions on their faces.
Miroku sighed. "Well, it looks like today is just another lounging around in the cabin day. No point in going swimming in the lake if Sango isn't there." Inuyasha and Kagome rolled their eyes as their perverted friend walked off.
An awkward silence passed over Inuyasha and Kagome as they stood there. Kagome grimaced a bit. She did not like silences. Finally, she decided to say something. "Well, goodbye Inuyasha."
"Hey," Inuyasha said, causing Kagome to stop. She turned around and looked back at him. His golden eyes caught her brown ones and she blushed from the intensity of them. "Are you okay?"
Kagome's brow furrowed. "Huh?"
"When you tripped. You're not hurt, are you?" Inuyasha said, a bit of concern in his voice.
"No," Kagome said. "Why, were you worried?"
Inuyasha immediately flushed. "Keh! Of course not! Why would I be?"
Kagome frowned and rolled her eyes. By now, she was used to him being a jerk. "Jerk," she muttered under her breath. She may have been used to it, but she sure didn't need to like it. Turning on her heel, she walked away from Inuyasha.
~.~
Inuyasha frowned as he watched her retreating form. He didn't necessarily like being called a jerk, but he supposed he deserved it. In truth, he was a little bit—little bit, mind you—concerned about Kagome when she fell. 'I mean,' he thought, 'she's like an accident magnet!'
He frowned again.
Wench needs to be more careful.
Inuyasha kicked a rock in front of him with the toe of his black converse and walked away. And as he walked away, he checked the time.
10:05.
~.~
Kagome slammed her bag down on the food court table. 'I know it's in here somewhere!' she thought as she shoveled out item after item onto the table. Kikyou just stared at her over the rim of her soda can and the waiter beside them looked miffed—very miffed.
"Kagome," Kikyou said, "just let me pay for you."
Kagome shook her head furiously as she dumped out a handful of pens. "I don't want you to, Kikyou. I know it's in here someplace! I never leave without it!"
Kikyou pulled out a crisp $20 from her wallet. "I can pay! I've got the cash!" She began handing it to the waiter, but Kagome stopped her by dumping several pads of paper on her hand.
"I told you, I know it's in here. Besides I don't want to seem like some charity case."
Kikyou rolled her eyes. "As if! You're not some charity case, you're my charity case."
Though it was just a joke, the jib really struck home to Kagome. Since her parents were killed and she began living with her grandmother, money has been a huge problem for them. They were always very low on money, verging on poor. That was why they needed this camp so much. And she would be damned if it was some insane low-life serial killer that was going to shut them down. "Look," Kagome said as she balled up her fists on the table. "I know that we're having financial difficulties, and I know that I'm not as rich as Inuyasha or Miroku," she paused and Kikyou's eyes widened.
"Oh, Kagome, I didn't mean it like that!" Kikyou said, placing a hand on Kagome's arm. Kagome shook free."
"I know all those things, Kikyou," Kagome continued, acting as if she hadn't heard. "And I do not want to be reminded!" Kagome, still fairly angry, began dumping her belongings back into her purse. She hitched the bag over her shoulder. "I'm not so hungry anymore. I'll see you around."
~.~
From the other side of the food court, Sango and Ayame watched incredulously at Kagome storming out of the hall. It was completely normal for Kagome to get mad at those who don't respect her, but it was a whole other ballgame when she got mad at her own friends. Ayame looked at Sango. Sango just shook her head. "Come on," she mumbled. The girls got their food and they headed over to Kikyou.
Kikyou was staring into her soda and stirring the liquid and ice around with her straw. She looked really upset. Sango slid in across from her as Ayame sat next to her. Sango took a long drag of her soda, swallowed, and then leveled her gaze with Kikyou, who was still staring into her soda.
"So, what happened?" Sango said as if it was the most casual thing in the world. She loved Kagome dearly, but she and Kikyou were never as close. And sometimes, the sort of snobbish way Kikyou presented herself and her jibs from time to time kind of ticked her off. But she and Kagome got along well so Sango made an effort to put up with her.
Kikyou slumped into her seat and placed her elbow on the table, resting her chin on her palm. "I just made a joke and Kagome got really upset. I didn't realize how personal it would affect her."
Ayame raised an eyebrow. "What was the joke?"
Kikyou shrugged a bit and leaned back into her chair. "She said something about not wanting to be some charity case and I made a joke, saying that she wasn't some charity case but my charity case. She got really upset."
Sango's eyes widened and she rubbed her face with her hand. "Kikyou, you know about her money problems. Why would you joke about something like that?"
"I didn't think it would hurt her!" Kikyou cried. "I just thought she would laugh at it like with every other joke I told."
"But you weren't telling a joke!" Sango shot back. "You were pocking fun at her misfortune!"
"I wasn't making fun of her!"
"You called her a charity case!"
By this time, both of the girls' voices had risen and they were glaring daggers at each other. Half of the courts attention was on them and Ayame was sinking fast under the table, hoping to not be seen with them. She was being put in a very awkward position right now.
"We're friends; she should've known I was joking!" Kikyou growled.
Sango scoffed. "'Friends' don't make fun of other friends!"
"I wasn't making fun of her!"
"Ladies," a tall, middle-aged man said, walking up to their table. "You're disturbing my customers. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
"Don't bother!" Kikyou snapped, getting to her feet. "I was just leaving." Giving Sango one last glare, she stormed off. "Oh," Kikyou said, stopping. She turned back towards the manager. "Your diet soda is awful and it not worthy of being worth $2.50!"
~.~
Kikyou wiped at her tearing eyes as she stormed up the steps to the bus, demanding that she be taken back to the camp. She dumped herself into the seat at the very end and glared out the window.
A joke, she had made a joke! She did not deserve to be attacked the way she did! Kagome should not have taken it so personally, making her seem like that bad guy, and Sango should not have blown up in her face, blaming her for something she did not do.
A tear fell and she slammed her hand into the back of the seat in front of her. It just wasn't fair! As a friend, she expected Sango to take her side, not attack her! She growled. Why is it that everyone always takes Kagome's side? Why is it that they all treat her as if she were a glass menagerie? Why did they all sympathize towards her? So she had some hardships; big deal! Kikyou had her own fair share! So just because something horrible happens in her life, she's automatically innocent?
Kikyou slammed her hand into the back of the seat again.
It just wasn't fair.
~.~
The bus stopped and Kikyou flew off the bus. Her legs went on autopilot and she let them lead her wherever they would. She was too upset to care about where they would lead her.
Kikyou looked down at the shirt Kagome had lent her and scowled. The first thing she was going to do when she got back to her cabin was rip the shirt off! She looked up at the quickly approaching cabin and she thought about a hot shower. Well, she would rip the shirt off second after her hour-long shower and then she would take a two hour long nap.
Kikyou burst through the door and stopped in her tracks eyes wide. Inuyasha was lying on his back on his bed, his head dangling over the side. He looked up from the magazine he was reading with a surprised look at Kikyou's sudden entrance. "I thought you were at the town with Kagome," he said.
Kikyou frowned darkly at the name. "I came back early." She hoped that he would leave it at that so she could run back to her own cabin and cry in peace from anger and embarrassment from walking into the wrong cabin.
"What happened?" Inuyasha asked.
Kikyou wiped at her eyes, realizing they were probably slightly puffy, and growled on the inside. Inuyasha's telepathic ability: zero. "Nothing important. It was just a stupid fight." She made to leave but was stopped when she heard Inuyasha jump down.
"Do you wanna talk about it?"
~.~
A drop of green ice cream fell off the scoop and landed on the table. Kagome stared at that single drop of mint chocolate-chip ice cream as it was wiped up by the girl sitting across the room from her. It turns out that Kagome really did leave her wallet at the cabin.
She leaned forward and rested her aching head in her hand. A sigh escaped her lips as she thought about her fight with Kikyou. Maybe she had been too sensitive? But Kikyou knew about her money problems, so she really shouldn't be making jokes about it. Plus it had really hurt her to be called a charity case.
Suddenly Kagome felt very tired, and all she wanted to do was lie down on her bed and fall asleep. She pulled her bag over her shoulder and stood up, making her way to the door of the ice cream shop.
~.~
Inuyasha fiddled with a stray piece of thread coming loose from the hem of his shirt. He wrapped it around his finger until the blood pooled at the tip of the digit and started to throb. Then he yanked it off.
He looked over at Kikyou, who was still talking, before holding back a yawn. A little ways into her story, Inuyasha had gotten tired of it. Then he started internally kicking himself for asking her about why she was so upset in the first place. How was he supposed to know that she would take about thirty minutes just to say one thing? At first he asked because he never liked it when a woman was upset, but now all he wanted was for her to shut up. That's what he got for being nice.
So he zoned out for a bit. But he was able to get the gist of it; apparently Kikyou had made a joke and Kagome took it too seriously.
"So what do you think I should do?"
Inuyasha's head snapped up, realizing that she was finished. "About what?" he said stupidly.
Kikyou stomped the ground. "About Kagome! What do you think I should do about her?"
"Nothing," Inuyasha said, almost instantly. He had gotten Kagome mad several times before and he quickly learned that if he valued his life he would let her calm down before talking to her again. "I know for a fact that she will just snap at you again."
Kikyou's eyes narrowed but said nothing. She turned her face away from Inuyasha and stared down at her bare feet. "So," she began. Inuyasha looked at her, waiting for her to continue. "Who do you side with?"
Inuyasha froze. If he had learned anything from the past girlfriends he's had it was never, ever get involved or take sides during a catfight between females. You only end up getting scratched. He shook his head frantically. "Oh no, you're not dragging me into this!"
Kikyou looked over at him, a look very close to pleading in her eyes. "Then tell me who you think is right!"
Inuyasha's gaze locked with hers. There was definitely pleading in them. Desperation too. It was like she was silently willing him to agree with her, tell her that she was right. He sighed and hung his head down. "I'm gonna have to agree with Kagome on this one," he mumbled.
Kikyou bristled. "Why?" she all but screamed. "It was a joke! It was supposed to be funny!"
That's what really ticked Inuyasha off. Funny? Did she even know the definition of the word funny? Funny was when a blonde lives up to her hair color. Funny was when your friend's foot falls asleep and then nearly falls over trying to walk the life back into it. Funny was when you hit the button on your umbrella and the umbrella head shoots out, nearly hitting someone. Funny was not when you attack someone or their problems.
Inuyasha stood up and began walking toward the door. "It's not funny if you hurt them."
He shut the door behind him.
~.~
The time was 6:55 pm.
The parents and guardians would be arriving in 5 minutes.
Inuyasha pulled a jacket on over his shoulders.
Showtime.
~.~
Eyes scanned the landscape, eyes that were a contradictory in itself. The color of the eyes was amber, a color that was usually associated with warmth, yet the feeling of the eyes was cold; a cold, icy gaze that no one could hold for more than a few seconds.
The woman standing next to him searched the area too, her eyes a light brown with a warmer feeling. She lifted herself up onto her toes and placed her mouth next to her companion's pointed ear. "Do you see him yet?"
The man said nothing, just continued to stare out in front of him. Finally his lips parted and he spoke. "No." The woman lowered herself back to ground level.
They were surrounded by people, people looking around for their respected children or charges. Occasionally, one would glance in their direction with a look of awe or curiosity. Whispers flitted throughout the crowd, everyone having to do with the man and woman.
Suddenly, the man's lips curled in a smirk. "I found him, Rin. And it looks like he's made a friend."
Rin followed Sesshomaru's gaze and she smiled when she saw Inuyasha approaching. "Inuyasha!" she cried, practically tackling him.
Inuyasha stumbled back a bit, not even noticing the approach of Rin, focused on something his companion was saying. "Uh…n-nice to see you too, Rin," he muttered.
"I can't tell you how absolutely boring it's been without you!" Rin said, pulling back. "It seems so quiet without you and your brother fighting and nowadays, Sesshomaru has locked himself up in his office not even bothering to come out to eat, forget about talking to me and—" Rin stopped her little rant as she caught sight of a girl standing next to Inuyasha, a hand covering her mouth as if she were trying to keep from laughing. "Inuyasha," she said, looking up at the flustered teen. "Did you make a friend?"
"Uh, yeah. Get off me and I'll tell you." Inuyasha said, pushing Rin off him. "This is Kagome Higurashi, her grandmother owns the camp. Kagome," he turned to her, "this is Rin and that," he pointed to an approaching Sesshomaru, "is my, uh, brother-in-law, Sesshomaru."
Kagome turned to Sesshomaru, smiling. "Hello, Sesshomaru. It's nice to meet you." She held out her right hand. "I just want to thank you for everything you and your company have done for us." Sesshomaru just nodded in her direction, not saying anything and ignoring her outstretched hand. Kagome coughed, embarrassed, and pulled her hand back.
Sesshomaru looked over at Inuyasha, who was regarding him with a glare, and smirked a bit. "Well, little brother, it seems like you're having more fun at this camp than I thought you would." Inuyasha's miffed expression turned red at the comment and Kagome just looked at him, confused.
"Hmph, it's tolerable, that's all." Inuyasha griped. "Anyways, there's something important I need to talk to you about." Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow in obvious intrigue but said nothing. Inuyasha turned to move elsewhere and Sesshomaru followed. Kagome and Rin stared after them.
"I wonder what's up." Rin said.
Kagome shook her head. "Who knows with guys."
~.~
Sango stood on top of a tree stump, looking out over the heads of the crowd of adults. "Who am I looking for again?" she called down to Miroku.
"A short, pudgy man who looks like he's drunk." Miroku said.
Sango looked down at her friend. "Your father's drunk?"
Miroku laughed and shook his head. "No, not my father. My guardian Mushin." He sober up. "But, he really is going to look drunk."
Sango nodded, looking back over at the crowd. "What about your dad? Weren't you talking about him at one point?"
"My dad's dead," Miroku said. "It's just me and Mushin."
"Oh," Sango said, wishing she could take back her question.
"So, Sango," Miroku said, after a length of silence. Sango looked down at him. "What about you? Are your parents coming?"
Sango shook her head. "My parents are," she paused, "they're dead."
"Oh," Miroku said. Another silence passed between them, this one more awkward. "Well, this is certainly an interesting conversation, isn't it?"
Sango chuckled and jumped off of the stump. "Yeah, in a way. But at least we've got something in common. Anyways, I think I found that Mushin guy." She turned around toward the crowed. Suddenly she spun back around, her hand connecting with Miroku's face in a resounding slap. "And keep your hands to yourself, pervert!"
~.~
Kikyou's eyes narrowed as she watched Kagome walk with Inuyasha to meet who she presumed to be Sesshomaru and his new bride. She huffed and turned, disappearing around the corner of a cabin.
~.~
Mushin pulled Miroku into a big bear hug. "Good to see ya m'boy!" Mushin slurred his nose red. Sango stared on with a half amused half shocked expression. He really was drunk. "And who's this young lady?" Mushin said when Miroku pulled away.
"My friend Sango," he answered.
Laughter erupted out of Mushin. "That's quite a pretty girl you've managed to catch!"
Miroku's face reddened. He cleared his throat. "Yes, well I think that Inuyasha is around her somewhere with Kagome…"
~.~
Sesshomaru stared at Inuyasha, the wheels in his mind working overtime at what he's just been told. "Are you sure?" he asked.
Inuyasha nodded. "Yes, I'm sure. What does it mean, Sesshomaru? That's never happened before."
Sesshomaru took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I don't know, Inuyasha. But I'll look into it. Expect a message from me." Inuyasha nodded and Sesshomaru took his leave.
~.~
Midoriko flicked the switch on the microphone, getting a wave of feedback, making her wince but gaining the crowd's attention. The feedback fell silent and she was able to speak. "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the camp's yearly gathering of parents and guardians. This is your chance to learn more about the camp's activities and staff or to just mingle. I know that many of you have been worried about the serial killer in a nearby city, but we have not heard anything from the police and it seems that suspicious activity has died out in the city so we should all be safe. Now, I ask you to please enjoy yourselves." She shut the microphone off and the crowd returned to its previous noisy state.
Sesshomaru was standing by a tree, lost in his own thoughts. He had been expecting to come to this gathering completely bored, but what Inuyasha had said to him gave him something to think about. He sighed and looked out at him in the crowed. He was talking with that Kagome girl he'd introduced earlier that evening.
Sesshomaru smirked inwardly at how reluctant Inuyasha had been the first day he left and now he was actually conversing with one of the "commoners" as he so liked to call them. The grin faded, however, when their conversation found its way back in to his head.
It was going to be a hassle figuring this little mystery out along with the other one he was following, but he had a feeling that in some way the two were connected.
And that's the end of it! Kind've a boring chapter, but friendships are being torn a bit, suspicions are comming up, and people grow closer! Guess not every chapter can be exciting......oh well.
It's getting more and more difficult for me to write endings for some reason.......
I miss my stars! I don't like those little marks as much! And I don't like how this has been acting! Hopefully I can fix it soon!
But anyways, thank you for reading chapter ten of Love Under a Blood Red Sky, Loosened Strings!
Thanks to all who reviewed my last chapter!
