Hey y'all.

So, its going on 11 years since I have done anything with this, but I am going to go through and lightly edit and correct some small things, but I've gotten to this point. Everything up to here has been sifted through!

I want to say my brother is fine, and all of the stuff below has been healed from and grieved. I'm going to be 27 on January 16th here in the year of 2023. I wonder truly how many people will remember or will come back to read any of this. It's kind of really exciting again. I'm sure there may be some changes as to how I'm going to handle the rest of this fic, but here's to trying!

Since I'm older now, some ages will change, and Sakura will be 18 when all of the lemon stuff happens, and I'm reducing some age gap crap that I thought used to be fine when I was 16 and writing this. I may write the lemons on a separate fic tbh.

Also, this was written before I had any knowledge that's readily available about trans folks and their struggles today. This story is meant to be silly and lighthearted, but I apologize if I've done anything that has been offensive. I'll try and write a little more with the social climate of late in mind.

I want to keep the note below from 11 years ago just so I can see how things have changed. I hope to reconnect with some of the fabulous peeps on here. Take care of yourselves and each other. Ciao bella~

Old stuff:

Hey guys..

Bad news first:

I've had a pretty rough past two weeks here, and I'm grateful for the support and the patience. The thing is, my brother (He's 10.) went to the hospital because he fell down the stairs while carrying a glass dish, and as he hit the bottom landing, it smashed into his face. He's alive, but he had to get 21 stitches around his nose and right eye. I had to clean all of the blood and take care of my four-year-old brother while he and my mom went to the hospital, meaning had no time to write what-so-ever. I also learned that Black snake eyes (I've been BETA-ing for her.) had to get an operation done, so please wish her well, too. But wait, there's more! Also, my pet, that lived with my dad, died. Okay, I also forgot to mention that last Monday my brother went back to get a checkup, and he couldn't see at all in his right eye. He was rushed to the emergency room, and went into surgery for three hours, and got tests and everything. He just got back home from the hospital on Tuesday, and he can only see a little bit. Ex: He can see a hand, but he can't see how many fingers there are. The prognosis says that there was bleeding, hemorrhaging (Not too sure if that is how you spell it, but spell check won't cooperate.), and mostly swelling. We think that once the swelling goes down, he'll be able to get operations done to really help his sight. So, I'm dedicating this chapter to my lil bro (even though he doesn't read it) and Black snake eyes! Love you guys! :D

Good news: I'm going to try to submit a chapter by tomorrow evening!

Thanks to all of my wonderful reviewers~! Because after I crank out a long ass chapter, I really look forward from hearing from all of you! :3

THIS NEXT CHAPTER HAS ACTUAL ROMANCE IN IT! Yes, my dears there will be lemons LATER in this story, but not until some more bonds are formed. Well, I have to build some courage to actually write it too! Haha especially since this has been my first kissing (*cough*make out*cough*) scene ever. (It was a challenge since I've not been kissed yet because my friends and parents are crazy, overprotective, paranoid baboons!)

Hopefully I don't fail at writing it! Oh, let me know if it's one of my weaknesses or a main forte! I bet I did a lame job at it. ALSO, Sasori finally appears in the chapter too! You've gotta love that boy. :L

I hope that the chapter flows well enough (It was a bitch to write.), because I'd like to resubmit the chapter right away if you think I need to smooth some parts out. (PM PLEASE, and be specific, girls!) :DD

It's special because it will be in the others' perspective. I think this will be the last chapter for the actual introduction to the story, and then I can really get into the plot and arc. Yes, there will be multi-chaptered arcs, so this story will be going for years to come. (Praying for fanart from any Deviants out there! You can just message TehZombieCupcake On DeviantART. [Linky is on my profile.] ;)

Expect every five chapters of Sakura's Point of View to be followed by a chapter of the guy's point of view.

I really appreciate the patience and the support, so give yourselves a pat on the back!
With love and appreciation,
