Author's Note: Alright…I know I've never really made an author's note that isn't at the beginning or end of a chapter…but this will be my first, and probably my last. Now, don't yell at me if you've liked this story…but…I'm not going to write it anymore. Here's why.

Three years ago, I got the idea of Kitsune Shinigami while watching Bleach after a Naruto marathon. I thought 'wouldn't that be really cool?'. So I started writing. But now that I've read through it…I've noticed quite a few errors. For one, I HATE where this story is going all together. I just don't like it at all. It has no plot, no point, and no ending in any sight. It sounds like a three year old wrote it. I'm older, and I've learned a lot more crap that would make me a better(I hope) writer. So, after rereading Kitsune Shinigami for the fiftieth time(which is why I haven't been updating), I decided Kitsune Shinigami was going to die.

As an author, I'm able to kill off whoever, or whatever, I want. Within reason, anyway. And that is why I'm here typing now. To tell you all that I'm not going to be updating Kitsune Shinigami ever again. I doubt any of you actually really liked it anyway. It kinda sucked. But if someone did like it, I'd like to say that I'm not going to be putting it up for adoption or whatever. Here's where the bad news starts, and the good news begins.

I'm going to be starting over.

That's right. Kitsune Shinigami will be killed, then reborn. The title may change, maybe not. Probably won't, since the name is a little popular in my school and with my friends. But the storyline will change drastically. Here's a little info about it.

Naruto's Zonpaktou will not be Rockshaya, nor will it be the brother to Zangetsu. The Zonpaktou is going to be shaped to fit Naruto's abilities, attitude, and emotions more. It will be a very rare Zonpaktou. It took me a little over a year to completely finish the idea, design, powers, Shikai, and Bankai of this Zonpaktou.

Second, Naruto's personality is going to change a lot. He won't be a bipolar, happy-go-lucky person. Most of the time, anyway. Sometimes he might. Most of the time, though, he's going to be emotionless, quiet, and very quick to anger. He and Kyuubi are still going to get along, but Kyuubi's not going to a 'happy camper'. He's going to be his original self, or pretty damn close to it. Things that Naruto once found funny, he'll find mostly annoying and pointless. He'll kinda be like another Uliquiorra with fox ears.

Thirdly! Naruto's going to be in his Demon Fox Form much more often. Not always full size, but most of the time he'll be a fox, unless he's speaking in public, or to people who cant know that he's a demon. How Naruto meets Rukia and Ichigo is going to change as well. It's not going to be 'he's injured, and they save his life'. Its going to be something along the lines of 'they see him at school, find something suspicious about him, and find out about him in some giant battle between the demon and a horde of hollows'. Something like that. Instead of befriending Naruto quickly, Ichigo will not like Naruto because he's so weird.

Another thing. Naruto's Hollowfication. NO. SUCH. THING. It's used way too much. It's like a cliché. And think about it. If Naruto had Kyuubi, his Hollow, his Zonpaktou, his demon half, and himself running around in his head, he'd go pretty insane and end up killing himself. Wouldn't you? So…what will Naruto have instead of a Hollow half? You'll see. Maybe he wont have anything. But I can tell you now…Naruto will get some pretty kick-ass hollow powers after being tainted by the rietsu of a hollow, after one nearly takes off his arm, and after he eats half a hollow in a blind-demon-rampage.

What am I missing? ...hm…oh yeah! Konohagakure no Sato. Will it, and the ninjas in it, still be in the story? Hell yes. Will Naruto, Ichigo, and Rukia still go there from time to time? Hell no. Probably not, anyway. If he does go, he'd be dragged there almost every time. But the ninjas(Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi, Tsunada, ext.) will still be there, as will the evil guys(Akatsuki, Madara, Orochimaru, ext.). And these 'arcs of no apparent reason' wont be showing up. Naruto probably will never become a ninja of Konohagakure no Sato. He doesn't need to, considering he'll be a frickin' Hanyou-Shinigami. That's another thing! In the story, they're not going to be 'Shinigami', they're going to be 'Soul Reapers'. I like the English words more, since, you know, I live in frickin' America("OMG! I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE NOW!" …yeah…no you don't.).

Alright…as an apology for doing all this crap, and as a reward for those of you who read down this far, I'm going to give you a preview to the first chapter of the story. Part of it. It might be the beginning, it might be the middle, it might be the end. You don't know that! So it begins below:

"Two from two different lives…they will come together because of similar needs. Their home worlds need heroes…these two will be those heroes." Said a soft feminine voice as two screens flickered in the dark room. The screen on the right showed a young child, about three years old, with spiky orange hair and brown eyes. The boy was clutching what appeared to be his mother's hand as the two walked down a crowded street.

On the other screen, was a fox with no tails at all, with unnatural-orange fur, and amethyst eyes. The fox kit was licking a paw absentmindedly as its mother reprimanded it for killing a hawk before it was ready.

But both of the life forms, fox and human, had the same defiant, determined look in their eyes. Both looked weary, and ready for their 'Fight-or-Flight' instinct to tell them what to do.

"What? A Demon Kit and Human Baby? Are you insane? Pick two Angels to do this job, not a demon and a human!" Protested a deep voice from somewhere in the dark.

"No. Both of these are half-and-half. The kit is half demon, and half human, and the boy is half human, and half Soul Reaper. The kit has an unusually high amount of spirit energy…after a few years, he could hone his powers enough to form a spirit weapon." The woman in the shadows grinned, her teach flashing. "They're perfect. These will be our heroes."

"But-" The ground shook as the woman planted her fist into the jaw of the man who had dared try to speak against her.

"I said that they will be our heroes, and they will! They will save their worlds, and all in it! Nobody can fill the shoes of the heroes role! …it has been decided. In twelve years, these two will realize their powers, and they will start on the path to becoming heroes of Heaven and Earth. The Hollows wont stand a chance. Neither will he." The woman said, her voice growing quiet as she spoke.

"…but what about their…special abilities that they have the ability of gaining? What about those?" Asked one of the woman's right-hand men.

"I'm going to conveniently overlook those." The woman replied, waving her hand in dismissal.

"What?!" The three standing near her yelled in shock. The woman grinned down at the screens.

"…in twelve years, these two will become great. They wont befriend each other right away. They'll have to learn to work together. Yes…this will work…" The woman trailed before4 muttering four lines over and over to herself. The three men looked to each other. Each knew this woman well. They had been Kami's right-hand men for years. Time, Fate, and Shinigami looked uncertain. Her prophecy…it wouldn't turn out well, that was obvious enough.

They looked to the woman silently. Kami was grinning at the screens still. They couldn't get the prophecy out of their head. They had heard it before, and they could hear her muttering it over and over again still.

Enemies will become friends. Two will work as one. Life and Death shall meet in battle, and blood will rule the world.

Alright. Obviously, it's going to be totally different. If it's not obvious…trust me…it will be… The first chapter of the New-and-Drastically-Improved Kitsune Shinigami will be up…I dunno…sometime in May. Hopefully. I want each chapter to be around 30 pages long, so we'll see how many ideas I can roll out in that amount of time! Ja ne!
