Hello, this is just a small note from your dearest author – me.

Thank you for choosing this um, story (?) to read. I am truly honoured. I would like to advise you all that as my description skills are very evidently descriptive; one might not really know what one is going in for (even I don't know what I'm going in for to be quite honest but let's imagine I didn't write that).

This fiction started out as a crack!fic and quite frankly it spiralled out of control because Mara-chan has weeded her way into my heart and made it her home. After 25 chapters I really want to see this story through, even if it took me about 3 years to get back to it (it's like a love/hate relationship). Also I want to give Itachi the happy ending he so deserves. Thus I decided to thwart a few facts around, add a bit of spice into his life and shake the whole foundations the Uchihas stand for. This shall only happen until I finish this fiction; I do not think that this much power in my hands is something that should happen very often as and I quote the wonderfully dead Uncle Ben once said to his nephew, "With great power, comes greater responsibility".

I have been spending months thinking about how this story should end (oh dear god it will end) and have concluded how in a specific week in august when a heat wave surrounded me and temperatures rocketed to about 37 degrees celcius. I would also like to add that I was sick that week and had a touch of fever. This has been quite a learning experience in that I should most probably take care of myself first before worrying about fiction (as enticing as it is).

Enjoy!

P.S. The first few chapters sound very obnoxious because Mara-chan is an arrogant and obnoxious little bitch. You all have been warned.

P.P.S. There will be lots of swearing and sex. And sex-baiting, if that's a word (according to Microsoft Word it is).
