Ok this is just my little apology note. I know that all of you guys have been waiting for an update but you see I've had a very bad case of writers block and have had some difficultly coming up with stuff. But I do have one idea but it isn't until later in the story so I need some my suggestions. Any at all are welcome. Also I have included responses to my reviewers from chapter 2 so here they are. (Although most of you don't even probably remember me or the story let alone your own review but anyway..)

Silver Goddess1= thank you and I'll try to

NickeyWhite2= I'm glad u like it

Karouxxxk= I'm not sure what kaoru gets to do yet I'm having a bit of writers block and um.not to be rude or any thing. but. um.well if u take my computer how can I ever update?

Kyoku-Ryu-Akurei= thnx

l3al3yanime= no that is not all

kaoru kamiya= thank you very much your under standing of my dyslexia. Your encouragement has been very motivating.

XP-DarkAngel= thanks I'm glade u like

Bonessasan= sorry I know everyone hates cliff hangers

Fullmoon= wow I love long reviews!!! Thank you so much and to answer your questions: I know that kenshin(16) and kaoru (15) are pretty young but back then (1865) 16 was considered mature and adult so that is why k+k are so young. About kaoru's virginity I'm not sure yet. My plans for the whole respect thing also unsure (actually most of the story is undecided). But I like your suggestion and will probably work off that.

Maruken= well. I guess it cant hurt to help the world *wink*
