Sorry guys, didn't mean to get your hopes up with an update. I just thought that since it's been awhile since the last chapter was posted that I'd let you know what was going on.

First though, thank you so much for your reviews. I'm so glad that those of you who have read this far are enjoying it, and your reactions are just lovely. I'm thrilled that the effect I've been trying for is being achieved.

All right, so where's the rest of it? No, Hitori is not over, and I don't plan on dropping it entirely. After putting so much work into something, however meaningless, it still seems like a shame to just dump it. This is the first chaptered thing (period, concerning fanfiction and original works) that's lasted as long as it has. So no, Hitori is not dead.

It is, however, on, er, extended standby. As it is, I've fallen out of love with the series. (/tear) Plus, I've been so distracted by other things/series/original ideas, that it's a bit difficult to get back into the flow of the story, you know? You could say I'm pulling a CLAMP on this one.

So, there you have it. For the "tl;dr" crowd:

Hitori is not over.

Hitori is not dead.

While it may not be within the next week (or month, even), I do plan on finishing this fic.

So there you have it. Please bear with me on this, and I promise not to let you down!
