Author's notes

Hey, folks, I don't know what's up, but I've noticed that my quote marks in the story are coming out as weird shapes on the site here. I'm not doing it, it doesn't look like that on my word processor, and I've noticed a few other new stories with the same problem. Just to let you all know I'M NOT DOING THIS. I'm not trying to post the story in some sort of ancient hieroglyphs, okay?

Every time you see the weird shapes, it's supposed to be a quote mark, which is what I'm seeing on my word processor, not the weird stuff you're getting on fanfiction.net.

I haven't a clue as what to do to fix this myself, so bear with me, people.

Try to read the story anyway, and I'm going to find the little gremlin who is messing up the site and wring his scrawny neck.

Also, while I'm at it, I want to give credit for the inspiration for my story to Zoscrowe, whose wonderful Kenji fanfics inspired me to write one of my own.

I have no idea if I'm stepping on her toes, so I apologize if I inadvertently have overlapped any of her very entertaining Kenji stories.

I've only read three of her stories, but they're among my favorites. Hiko is a favorite with me, so I really wanted to write a story about him, and this seemed like the best way to do it.

I have a wonderful fanart of Hiko on my desktop, and looking at it was my other inspiration for this story. Annie. N. Whoever you are, thanks for the beautiful artwork.
