A/N: Ok, I know I'm not technically supposed to do these author note chappies, but I just wanted to let you know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Now that school is back in session, it's going to be even harder for me to update but I will work on this as much as possible. I personally like this story so I really want to get back into writing it! I also just want to congratulate Jessica on finding the hidden twist in my story! If you hadn't seen my profile and read the update the last time, I just wanted to say I am very pleased that you picked up on the Angel Sanctuary theme! Truth be told, I had totally forgotten about the whole Sara-was-engaged-and-had-to-move-away thing but I still used it in my story. When my friend introduced me to the awesomeness of Angel Sanctuary I was totally surprised because I was like "omg, I'm writing a yyh fanfic that sounds just like this!" So Jessica, have a cookie! You win! xD Oh well, so enough of my rambling. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here but it will be a while before I update. Also, look for my new fic "Trials in Love and Friendship" that I'll be starting soon. If you like Code Lyoko, I think you'll like it. (Since it will be a Code Lyoko fic P) Ok, since I'm not technically supposed to do this anyway, I guess this is the end of my author note chappy. I know! I'll give you a short little side episode so it can sort of count as not an author note! D

Side Eppy: Takara and Koenma have a Staring Contest

"I'm bored," Takara said woefully.

"Well, what do you want to do?" Koenma asked.

She thought it over. "Staring contest!" She smiled big and Koenma couldn't help but play along.

"Alright," he said. "What are the rules?"

She laughed. "Don't you know how to play, silly? We just stare at each other while trying not to blink or look away. First one to break one of those rules loses and has to buy the winner an ice cream!"

"Alright, you're on!" he challenged.

"Ready, set, go!" they both yelled and commenced to stare at each other. The seconds ticked by slowly as they stared each other down, both wanting that free ice cream. They stared hard and with great intensity.

After a minute they were both getting tired and trying hard not to blink. Sweat dripped from Koenma's brow and Takara clenched her fists to keep herself from blinking. I want that ice cream, I have to win, she thought to herself. There was no way she would lose. So she decided to make him blink. Without blinking or looking away she stood up and yelled "BOO!"

Koenma was so startled that he blinked and fell over, thus breaking his concentration. Takara laughed. "I win!" she said, beaming.

Koenma sighed. "Alright, let's go get your ice cream." She hugged him and he got her an ice cream and she was happy again until she decided she wanted sour gummy worms too.

THE END

A/N: Ok, there's your little side eppy so doesn't yell at me for just posting an author's note. P I'll try to update soon. (I'm planning on replacing this with the new chapter but if you'd rather I leave it up, just let me know!) Ja ne!
