To My Beloved Readers,

With the time that has passed without an update, I doubt hardly anyone is still following this story, but I wanted to reach out to those who are still interested and let you all know that I have returned to and am working on another chapter right now and am determined that this story will be completed/

I have never lost my love for the story of Himura Kenshin and the rest of the Kenshingumi, in fact, in these crazy times we are living with, I found myself drawn again to the messages of resolve, peace and working together, not matter the odds, to overcome the dark things of this world.

So, please give me a chance to make things right and know that I won't let you down.

I have hopefully matured as a writer over the past few years (I continued to write with a great group of women) and will give this story my all. I would appreciate your feedback as to whether you would like me to go back and polish up and add additional content to earlier chapters, so there is more continuity. This story taught me to love story telling and I want to make it as good as possible, while retaining the original vision that has remained in my head for nearly 20 years.

And for you, wonderful readers, I am going to also work on a one-off story that is a few chapters long that takes place right after the Jinchuu Arc and focuses on Karou and Kenshin coming to terms with what has transpired. It's a small, but heartfelt offering to you all.

Please let me know what your thoughts are and thank you so very much for all you have done to inspire me and help me want to keep this story alive and get it completed.

With thanks and my warmest regards,

Kiyo "MightyMightyMunson"
