This is a quick note to all my readers and reviewers. I understand that there are some parts that you don't like, but you really need to get over it. I have no doubt that this note will cost me readers and reviewers, but I don't care. I'm tired of the crap that this story has brought me. The accusation was a misunderstanding, which I was fine with. However, now there is a person who has stolen parts and ideas of this story and put it in theirs. Here's the thing I wouldn't have minded if they would have asked before hand, but they didn't and it has upset me. Quick not to reviewer 'krista', usually I laugh at your reviews, but if you review for the next couple of chapters, could you tone it down. I don't think I can deal with them right now. As for the thing that really set me off. Reviewer 'it's mediocre', first sign in! If you had I wouldn't have had to write this annoying thing just to get your freaking attention! Second, if you don't like the review reply section, skip over it! People I've been using the same layout since the beginning. Possible author's note, story/chapter, review relay. I even break it up! Now as for the character changes. I did have every intention of adding the original Akatsuki from the original story. So back off. And for Tsuki and Naomi, they might not seem like they have a purpose, but the do. OTHERWISE, I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE THEM! Honestly people! Another thing, why it's so far off the canon is because; I don't know it's a FANFIC! It's not supposed to be like the original thing because I'm not Masashi Kishimoto! Okay, I'm done now. To all that have read to here you should thank my doggy Hachiko, because last night she convinced me not to label Blood of the Cherry Blossom DISCONTINUED!

P.S. For those who care I should update on the 25th. I'm done being angry now.
