Hey, guys.

Well, I'm not dead, even though with the length of my absence it would seem that way.

I am so sorry for neglecting this story, I honestly didn't think it would be so liked (and it's not even the popular).

So, what's it been, two, three years?

I always said to myself I would never leave a story unfinished, at least, not without warning any readers that I would be putting the story on pause as I did some other stuff. I have become my worst nightmare.

I think I might start this story back up again, while I also begin my Zabuza x OC story. I'm not too sure yet since it's been so long since I've been on this account that I've actually forgotten what I wanted to happen with this story.

Feel free to send me a private message and give me suggestions on how to continue this story. I'd actually really appreciate it if you did. You'd be doing me a huge favour.

But yes, I have quickly written this author's note, just to let you know I'm very much alive and ready to get this story started again if you all are willing to read it.

'til next time,

Crimson Poison
