Dear Readers,

This will be the last time you'll ever hear from me or Ringo. My parents banned me from writing and publishing, this final note will most probably make you all hate me, but please, don't hate the new writer, she's my best friend, she has a similar writing style to me so it should be alright. 'Shumi in Mafialand' is discontinued and up for adoption, anybody interested can PM me, or leave a review stating so. My friend will introduce herself shortly. And as for 'Half-brothers', please PM me if anyone is interested in taking that story's plot as their own.

Once again, I am truly sorry and I hope you will find it in your hearts to forgive me.

Your failures as writers,

Ichigo and Ringo.
