NOTE: THIS IS NOT A CHAPTER. PLEASE, DO NOT REVIEW THIS 'CHAPTER' EITHER. If you don't want to read this section, feel free not to. If you only want a generalization of what's going on in this section, check out the TL;DR blurb at the end.

(Also yeah I fucked up Rin and Len's birthday date. I'll fix that.)

(LASTLY, perhaps you've also noticed that the rating for Scorned changed to M? It's M now because everyone has a potty mouth, but, hopefully that hasn't turned you guys off. I might change it back to T but not even the WORSE has happened yet in this story so it might just be rated Mature for now.)

SO YEAH I'M BACK

So what can I say at this point to you guys? Thank you all so much for the support, even though, as you can see, that this story is pretty much shit. It's gone down the goddamn toilet. I really didn't anticipate the recent influx of reviews and followers. I've been in France for a week and I just got back on Thursday and so when I got all of this support I was honestly surprised. My confidence with this story has gone down a lot because of the plot holes/errors but I won't end this because of that. I'll finish what I started and do my best to improve. I just got back from Marseille and classes start back up again on Monday (tomorrow!) so I wanted to finish this up for you guys before my English skills go down the drain once I have to start speaking Spanish 24/7 ;w; Thanks for all of your patience!

I'm making this 'chapter' separate because, again, it was too long to attach to the last chapter. Besides travelling, I've been dealing with annoying digestive issues that I won't explain in detail, but I really can't get it treated until I go back to the U.S. It's been keeping me from eating normally and I feel bloated all the time. It also keeps me from thinking straight and I feel 'slow' often. Basically I can't concentrate sometimes and other times I feel dissociated from everything. It's frustrating and I really hate making these excuses but unfortunately this is my life until August. Fortunately my stomach didn't act up too badly in France and I figured that I'd get this done before my stomach starts acting up again. So, again, thanks for the support!

Lastly, I decided to respond to some of your reviews to thank you guys and to clear up some confusion.

Lolrus555: Thanks for your support! I can't really blame you for hating everyone…maybe your opinion of some characters will change by the end, though? And your opinion of Tei might change, too. We'll see. Thanks for your reviews! :3

Monochrome: Thank you for your kindness! Thank you for your patience as well! I'm glad you think the story is humorous, considering all the shit that happens to everyone. Also, keep an eye out on Oliver…

iDontCare: Thank you too for your reviews! Sorry that the chapters move a bit slowly sometimes, but sometimes they're needed to provide important information. Also, expect a bit more Len/Gumi in the future. I believe that you're the biggest Len/Gumi fan here…you might have to watch out for the Len/Tei fans, though!

Writer-san: WELCOME TO THE CLUB /Pops a bottle of champagne/ To be honest when you called Miku a 'clingy wench' I snorted a little bit because on a basic level that does describe her…but there's also a LOT more to her that we'll see soon. Miku wasn't born with the thought process she has today. Piko is also acting irrationally and he's harming his sister, but there will be more flashbacks and reminiscing. His current actions can't be completely excused (he thinks that he's doing something good) but the next chapters will provide insight as to why he's acting the way he is.

Clockwork Marionette: Thanks for your comments! ovo Rin and Len's relationship is complicated. Unfortunately Rin had no idea what Len was going through while they were children and she had her own problems to deal with as well. She seems unsympathetic now but we'll see more of Gakupo and Rin and the issues that they went through as children. Rin KNOWS that she isn't perfect, which also contributes to a lot of her problems as she still tries to be the 'flawless' girl she was before she died, which wasn't easy for her to do while she was alive, either.

To all other reviewers, thank you so much! I'll do my best to get chapter 11 up soon. If you've read what I said to the reviewers above, you have a glimpse at one will happen in the next few chapters, but the shitstorm that is slowly coming together hasn't even started yet.

TL;DR I went back in time and punched Genghis Khan in the face, which prevented me from updating sooner.
