Author's Note: Wow. Would you look at that! Here I am! ^-^ For all those who still have Soul Mates on their Favorite's List (poor saps) or are still checking for updates... such loyalty! I'd like to personally thank all reviewers who kicked my sorry ass into gear, including:

Moonbeam, Hiei Shinamura, Rhea Hiryuu, Yami No Ryoko, Shegra, Maruken, Kisarae, Icegirl172, Crazy Chick (Um... thanks for being rude.... *_*), DarkMagicianGurl89, Matsukigal13, Kerigan, Demon Wolf, Starri, Fangs of the Doomed, Satori Blackthorn, Sailor Saturn, Umeko the God, Sk8tErGuRl2, Silver Moonlight Rose, SilverDragon14, Shadow Fox2, and Froz Flame (of course, Frozzie-chan ^_~).

Wow! Maybe now my boldings will even show up...

Ooh, I just realized I have important news for you all- a sequel is in the works!

Exciting, neh? I would edit the first Soul Mates, but that would take eons. It's amazing how much I've improved (we can only hope) in little more than half a year. I do think I've gotten better. I'm not exactly great, but I'm certainly not as crappy as before, so I hope you enjoy the soon-to-be- released (aka, tomorrow) beginning of the sequel:

The Married Life
