((Author's Note: Wow... this story kinda got left in the dust, didn't it? Well -- guess what? I'm rewriting it! Oh, don't worry, I'm not going to make any drastic changes to the parts of the story you're familiar with, but now I don't have loose ends and dead-end plots! Whoopie!
Oh -- and look for the story under the new title of "Assassin's Blade"
Thanks!))
