Sorry if I got your hopes up that this would be a new chapter, true believers. I am afraid that between my job, and a play I am currently cast in, I have had little time for updates as of late. But fear not, fresh updates are forthcoming, as I have managed to slowly put not one, not two, but three new chapters together. The third only needs some fine tuning, and all three will be posted in one update.

To try to make up for the long time this story has been untouched, I am providing you with a sneak preview of another TT fic that is slowly underway. It is also a crossover, between TT and one of my favorite video games, I hope its one of yours too. Read on, and enjoy!

Riku raised his head, and stared right into the narrow eyeholes of Robin's mask.

"Get away from them, you slime!" Robin snarled. With a massive swing he knocked Riku's blade aside and brought his bo-staff up, hoping to catch the heartless warrior below his chin. But Riku leapt high into the air, dodging the attack, and landed several feet away. He straightened up and then balanced the blade of his sword against his shoulder.

""Don't interfere" he said testily, "Those who try to stand before the darkness are consumed by it."

"If you even try to touch my friends again, you'll have to deal with me." Robin said, gripping his staff with both hands now, and dropping into a combat-ready stance.

"Very well…" Riku said, bringing his sword forward now to point it at his new opponent, "Prepare yourself!"
