AN!

Hello everyone! I wanted to write a quick apology for taking so long to update. I am incredibly busy and find it difficult to continue with certain aspects of this story. Since I am writing this anyway, I want to take this time to also clarify a couple things.

First, I take no joy in writing some of this content. In fact... it is difficult for me to do so. And that is one of the reasons I have yet to upload the next chapter. Not that the content is 'bad' per-se. But I don't want to mislead anyone. It was difficult to write the earlier chapters, and I am truly sorry if I offended or hurt anyone who has read them. I thank God I have never experienced such trauma, and I cannot understand what it would be like to go through it. When I write such chapters, I almost imagine how I'd respond, what I would think etc... and I wanted a deeper connection between Naruto and Sakura. Sometimes, I think the greatest of love comes trough pains in life. Maybe not to such an extent, but to me it makes their bond more real. I also do not like writing any sexual content for fear of causing bad thoughts for my readers. I do not want you to fall into sin in what you read. I don't want to cause lustful temptation or anything... and I have considered more than once to delete this story. Please answer honestly, has my story had any of the listed effects on any of you? Like I said, I am sorry for taking so long and I thank all of you who have reviewed thus far, and all who have stuck with the story. I hope to have an update SOON!
