Hey all….this is a quick author's note from PAS….

First I want to apologize. I'm really sorry about how this is taking so long to get out. I've planned out the next chapter, but I'm still waiting for KK to get me her notes…the chapter is almost done…or will be done…once KK gets me those notes! Or when I get fed up of waiting for her….which should be soon. And summer's here. Hopefully, that means more writing time, but I have to start working on my college essay…and scouting schools…sigh….who said senior year was easy?

I want to thank every single one of you who has reviewed, even when we're updating so slowly. It feels really nice to see a new review every now and then. I will try my best to try and get the next chapter soon.

Okay…well…the update most likely won't be this weekend. I'll be at Anime Expo in Anahiem w/ PM…try and look out for us if your there! I'll be the one dragging around the little brother while PM tries to sell him…any offers?

Well…that's all for now…so as not to make you read this AN for nothing, I'll leave you with a little tidbit of the next chapter.

~*~ Preview of Ch 5

The crowds whispered, gossip spreading through the masses, flowing like coloring spreads in water. Initially concentrated in one spot, but slowly spreading till it changed the color of water.

That one concentrated drop of coloring was a young boy with hair falling just past his chin and intense olive green eyes walked down the street in old Japanese style work clothes.

People who saw the boy turned and whispered to their companions. Everyone walking down the street wondered about the boy walking down the street. They wondered about his past, why he was dressed as he was, why he was alone, where he came from, but most importantly of all, why he was randomly approaching people, asking them a question, and why continued to do so even though every attempt was met with rude failure.
