Apologies from the author:
I'm sorry I put up the epilogue twice.
Thank you to those who slapped me upside the head when they saw that the story looked all wrong.
Please read chapter three before chapter four, since that chapter is the longest and is the entire point of the story.
(You didn't really believe that I'd do all that and then end the fic without Chichiri and Tasuki ever getting together, did you?
I would deserve such death for that. Such death.)
I'm sorry that this took forever to finish.
And I'm sorry that you came here to this page and found a lousy apology page instead of a real chapter just because I wanted to bump up the chapter change. heh.
