I am sorry, really sorry *cowers on the ground for fear of stones and other good stuff being thrown* I know it has been forever and although I have desperately tried to get some time to finish this story, things happened in my life that have made me become very busy. At the time, I am coping with my brother's death. To be honest I have not felt motivated to write, despite all of the kind reviews (and some not so kind but hey, that's part of how we learn and grow as writers, right?) However, I hope you do bear with me. I am currently trying to write the next chapter, although I seem to have come to an abrupt halt mentally in where to go from here. This is why I am now asking most humbly for the assistance from those who enjoy Tenchi as much as I do. If you have read this and really want it to continue, please email me your ideas @ reiningangel13@aol.com. Or, write the next chapter as you think it should be written, email it to me, I'll upload it, giving you full credit. In all honesty, I'm not expecting anyone to reply to this but I still harbor hopes that you do. Thank you for your time and reviews. I'll do my best to continue.*bows gracefully* Ja ne. Shell
