Reasons why it take so long for us to update

1. It's a joint fic- meaning after one of us writes a part, the other can't write because we're not physic and don't know what the other has written until we've read it.

2. Bad memories- aka we don't remember every thing that happens in the movie, so if we want correct dialogue, we (mainly PAS) must go and check her DVD and find the correct dialogue. Yes, PAS does have an imported DVD (subbed) of Spirited Away.
PAS: *taunts KK* and you don't!!

3. It's a joint fic!! (again) - meaning...the other get to slaughter it till it bleeds to death, which involves the elaborate process of uncapping a red pen and slashing up the writing, while laughing sadistically and evilly.

4. School...*buried under piles of books, papers, and stupid Power Point presentations*....need I say more?

5. SAT's and PSAT's- *burns 10 Real SAT's book* evil evil book! Evil evil test!

6. Pikachumaniac- the secretary of the EASPOA who get taunted by PAS and KK since she is also a reader of our story...so in order to uphold our name (and titles since we heard of PM's conspiracy to try and usurp our power) we cackle evilly and purposely tease her about withholding our chapters since she has to wait until we update till she can read the story.
PM: *screaming* #%@$%&^%% NO I DON'T!!!!!!!!! actually I'm too busy trying to interpret Jackson's presidency...and squealing over seals *Yuki pops up* and writing my Seto x Ryou fic....and watching ice skating (Go Michelle Kwan! Go Todd Eldredge!) to care about your insignificant story *psychotic laughter*

7. Slow- We are slow writers! If anyone read PAS's CCS fic, u know how slow she
is....it took PAS like...er...a year till she finally got around to writing the last chapter of the story...and imagine...KK is twice as slow if you don't bug her, and nag her, and bug her, and nag her to work on the story! FYI, yes we do have about two or three chapter ahead that are written, but they don't get posted until we've written another chapter...meaning if we don't write...we have a few chapters buffer to post to mollify those of you *cough PM cough* who threaten to use violent measure to get us to update.
PAS: *sobs* PM is holding my Shaman King hostage

8. W-inds. - KK's obsession w/ w-inds., mainly Keita, seems to put a damper on our output time...
PAS: *turns to see KK staring at her Keita poster and singing to w-inds.* See?

9. KK is NEVER online!!! Most of the time when we discuss the story, its online...but since KK is nevveeeerrrrrrr online, its hard for PAS to discuss w/ her. School is not an option since PAS only sees KK for like....er...a minute during passing break from Per. 2 to Per. 3, and plus PM is usually there too...so we can't discuss much in a passing break w/out revealing too much to PM.

10. We're lazy...end of story.

11. School- *grim reaper of school comes running after PAS and KK*
KK & PAS: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!!
KK: *laughs evilly* ohohohoho! *is outrunning PAS* my cross country skills are coming into use! The grim reaper of school will get you first PAS
PAS: *screams as the grim reaper dumps chem. books on her* help!!!!!!!!!!!
Well....there you are! Since PAS is the main writer of the story, and she's been caught by the grim reaper of school, so......

12. It's a joint fic: So PAS has written the last chapter incorrectly and KK had to correct her.....sooo.....*see bonfire* bye bye 20 pages of work!!!!! Well.....that wasn't really 20 pages....but the last chapter PAS wrote was written incorrectly, meaning that it wasn't following the initial plot that KK & PAS had planned, so PAS has to re-write the whole chapter.

Response to Reviews (Written by PAS):
Aurani- Well, thanks for offering to your beta-skills, but KK like to slash up our stories until they bleed...so if see a lot of mistakes again, PAS gives you permission to attack KK and offer you skills once again.

Miriel Sakamoto: Thanks! Well, hope to see your story soon!

Cayenne- Yes, we are sadistic authors. Now, please go and read our profile and find out what EASPOA stands. *cough evilandsadisticpeopleofamerica cough*

Aya- ....threatening me? Hmm...I'm not sure that motivates me to update more often...^^ Well...it only motivates me to fulfil my position as President of EASPOA. *is attacked by kitsune shonen with the torn off tail* AHHHHH!!! =P

Argentum-Draco - wow...you must have very good typing skills and a lot of
times....that or very good copy and pasting skills...I'll try our best to get "more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more more" of the story out "faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster faster" ^^ Now all you hafta do is bug KK to agree on the same thing

And to everyone else: Glad ya'll like the story! We're working hard on the next chapter so please be patient and read it when it comes out! Can't give you an exact date when, because it's quarter finals right now, but soon! And yes, it will be a while till Haku comes, but since KK has seen all these reviews, she's trying to push up the Haku appearance. So there may be hope yet! And yes, It will be Haku x Chihiro so don't worry!
Oh yeah, to those who bothered to read to the bottom, a small treat. Everyone seems to be confused w/ Chihiro's actions. So let me set things straight. Remember how she "forgot" Haku in the movie? From when she was little. Remember? Well, we're sorta doing the same thing. She hasn't seen Haku in such a long time, that her memories of Haku and the other world have sorta faded, and she can't seem to tell if they are dreams or memories. Did that clear up a lot of confusion? Hope it did!
