Excellent story! I really enjoyed it. You got me through a slow day at work, so I thank you! 8D Time to read Matchmaker Misao.

So far so good. 8D I'm a bigger fan of the Sano/Megumi pairing but I figured I'd better read all your fics and what better place to start than the 'beginning'. (not counting prequels and all that) *giggle* Ok, anyway, gotta get to work. I'll be back for more later!

Cherie:

I'm sorry I took so long to read this story. I should have read it much sooner than this...because it's absolutely fabulous! I love the interaction between Megumi and Aoshi. I also love that you really made Misao Aoshi's adopted daughter and not someone who's pining after him.

My favorite line has got to be when Aoshi tells Misao that her boyfriend's got to tell Aoshi where he'd least like to get shot. I couldn't help laughing my head off. My cousin, who was my surrogate father and a Master Seargent in the Army, asked my first boyfriend the very same thing... One of the reasons I'm enjoying this so much is that I'm familiar with the male military mind. ^_^

On to Matchmaker Misao!

BWAHAHAHAHA!! OMG, picturing Aoshi in cargo pants... HAHAHAHA! My imagination is currently on a rollercoaster of hilarity... Anyway, from what I've read so far, it seems like this is going to be a pretty well-done fic. Can't find any flaws at all, unless there were spelling errors, of which I am not sure if there were any at all. I wasn't really paying attention to spelling... Looks like I have a lot to read. You've even got sequels! Wish me luck on reading!

Loved it. Too damn tired to say very much right now... Must go get some sleep. I'll leave another review later, maybe. And I also have to get around to reading your other stuff.

P.S. Loved the Saitou/Misao interaction.

Once again, I have to say that your OC's are very believable. They rock. :)

So THATS where Yahiko and Tsubame went. ^_~

I love Megumi's aunts, they're so hilarious. Also loved the cosmetologist scene.

Ah. Ok. I didn't realize there was another one that came before "Matchmaker". ^_^ Better get going on this one... Looks pretty interesting so far, and will probably clear some confusion for me about Aoshi and Meg's past.

I thought I reviewed this story but I guess I didn't. This is the story that started it all. I just love it.

I not a big fan of Aoshi and Misao as a couple in the first place, so this was a refreshing to see a story that focus on the Father/Daughter relationship between the two. Which make more sense to me than any romance story can ever could.

The military plot was true genius. I think that it fit Aoshi personally in the modern day world.

Megumi was wonderful in the fiction, you wrote her the way the I always picture her. She was smart, cunning, caring, and every bit the fox she is.

Aoshi and Megumi relationship was written very well also. You made them take time to get to known each other before the could trusting each other. Which is very rare in stories now in days.

Thanks for writing the little piece of art that started my true love for Aoshi and Megumi.

I do really like your stories. It's kinda exciting and the plot of the story really wakes an interest in me. There's no kidding here, I mean what I'm saying. I'm looking forward for the continuation of the story through the Matchmaker Misao. I've already have a hard copy of the Enemies and Allies and I mean 'hard" coz I made my prinnted copies be hardbound. Sorry about this but I really love the story, I want to have a copy of my own and make a collection, I'll til it's sequel be finished and I'll do the same, if it's okay with you.
More power!

Once again, great chapter. What a teaser this chapter was...the light kiss, Christmas party...it just gave a cozy feeling inside of me after reading it. ^^

This story was great. The way you developed Aoshi/Misao relationship was very realistic and so i character that it scares me. ^.~

I'll look forward to reading "Matchmaker Misao", which I am sure it will be hilarious and bittersweet. Hint : I'm never tired of reading M/Aoshi fics ^^

Sissi

Waah! It's finished! ;_; Well, this arc, at least ;P You've done a fantastic job on depicting every single character, in each chapter - and i don't think it's an exaggeration =) It's nice how you made the chapter sweet, with a hint of romance (to come, i hope? *pleading, sparkly chibi eyes*) but didn't go overboard with it. Excellent job, Cherie :D Hope you write more soon!

This was a really nice story. I'm sad to see it end, but I'm glad you're doing a sequal so not all hope is lost. sigh I really appreciate good grammer in a fic as well as wonderful writting. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS STORY! ^_^

so, i'm guessing that the continuation of this story is "matchmaker misao." i wanted to congratulate you a good job in keeping the characters in character, and coming up with a realistic alternate universe story. so megumi is such a tease, i'm surprised he really did react to the kiss. please continue.

ACK! You're done!! WHY? *whines*

Can't wait, can you? Well, at least, Megumi and Aoshi isn't jumping into bed or something. =P

Unlinke E&A, the cycle isn't entirely complete. Does that mean we're looking at sequel*s*? *eg* I pity the a/u muse... not!

Okina's so lovable at the end... but not glompable! Heh. Tough luck, old man! >P

Good work. Again! ^_^ Howzabout a round of ice cream?
