A/N: Please note that this story is undergoing construction and being rewritten before I continue on with the story. The new first chapter is up and I would like you to read that because IT HAS CHANGED. It is under a completely new story, also entitled Guarded.

I have added the first chapter of the new version of the last chapter of this version for comparison and clarity's sake.

You may also note that the Summary has changed and the rating has changed to M because Italics Guy (as you will know him until his identity is revealed) is totally psycho and his thoughts are a bit disturbing. If the majority of you believe that he's not that bad and can be rated T, I will change the rating, but for now it will stay M.

I think that just about covers everything...let me know what you think of the rewrite!
