My Dear Faithful Readers,

I know I've kept you waiting on this story for so long, and that is unforgivable.

But I do ask that you bear with me just a little longer before this story gets back on schedule.

First on my excuse list is, I fried my laptop, and its taken months to figure out what was wrong, and finally in the end they just decided to replace everything inside it. So, now that I have my laptop back, the updates can begin. But, in my long absence, I have not stopped writing. In fact I have a journal full of chapters for this story that I am in the process of typing up. Alas, here is excuse number two, I left said journal at my parents house, which I will not be back at until next week. I know I know, I'm awful. but I just wanted to let you all know that I have far from given up on this story and fully intend to update with a vengeance come next week. There's also been a lot of plot ideas that I've been playing with for this story, not to mention a possible second AkuRoku story for you all.

In conclusion it is with great regret that I have kept you all hanging so long, but fear not! This story still lives! Expect updates starting next tuesday night (11/25)!

-Your Loving Author.
