Author's Notes

*I had a lot of fun writing this story. I'd like to thank my friend Laura who helped me with the 1st version of it over AIM. I am well aware of the ending to Rurouni Kenshin / Samurai X and I tried to keep it as true to the original story as possible without making it seem so AU. I may write a sequel to it.

*For any crossovers, sorry. I'm a cross over nut, and I like to keep all my stories connected.

*If you want more history on Rae's people and her mother, read my story Everstin Chronicles. It's the big doosy.

*Thank you all for reading this and I hope to fulfill your fanfiction needs in the future.
