Wonderful! I enjoyed reading the fic a lot. I usually don't read many non-UsaMamo fics but I decided to give this a shot and I'm glad I did.

I am quite glad you based the fic off of the manga because I feel Rei's character in the anime was annoying. I felt bad and also frustrated with Rei's father - in the beginning he was quite an **, as expected, but as the years ago on and he finally isolated himself, he was starting to realize how much he cared. I was glad to read a fic where her father isn't just a stupid politician that was cold hearted and would use Rei as a tool ... especially the part where he defended Rei for her 'assault' accusations. It goes to show that he still believed in her and her character. The check part and the emancipation part really did make me feel so sad. It was just the fact that they were unable to communicate with one another ... Beautiful written.

I also loved Rei and Minako's interaction and friendship in this fic. Something that is quite apparent in both the live action and sort of part of the Stars season. Your original characters I felt added to the plot quite well and were not annoying at all.

Great story. It was a wonderful read.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading this story. Your writing style is really beautiful yet quite simple at the same time, in a way I didn't know was possible. You really create emotions so well that I couldn't help but empatize with practically ever character. The plotline is so simple as well but you really created something with so much depth and personality that it was a delight to read. Anyways, I hope you continue you writing because you truly are gifted.

Such a lovely sweet story you have here. I hope you keep on writing.

>Fortunately, it her stop, Sendaizakaue, right in front of the >Hikawa shrine.
probably: Fortunately, it was her stop, Sendaizakaue ...

>From their spot, they could see miko’s amethyst eyes were filled >with regret.
they could see the miko's amethyst eyes were filled ...

>She couldn’t imagine the pain the miko was going through at the >moment.
wouldn't that be "She could imagine the pain the miko was going through ..."

>The only thing Tanaka Sayo deserved was black eye and a broken >nose.
"The only things Tanaka Sayo deserved were a black eye and a broken nose."

>but ever since the ugly scene with Mrs. Akiyama and the other parents,
You could use Akiyama-san instedd of Mrs. Akiyama here ...

>Yes, it does, unless the enemy has decided has suddenly >decided to change their strategy.
one "has decided" too much

>She had to make sure those girl were alright.
those girls

>"Moon Power! Transform me into a stewardess!" Usagi yelled.
Oh come on, this is Usagi you're writing about. Her phrase would undoubtedly be "Transform me into a beautiful stewardess!"

>her trademark blonde pigtails had been shortened to only two odango
how about odangos instead of odango?

>She reached for the brooch pinned in the center of her bow on her uniform
... in the center of the bow on her uniform

>They couldn’t have vanished.
How about "They can't have vanished."

>Use your Moon Frisbee!
Hmm, I'm not famiar with the manga version, but I recall it's called "Moon Tiara" and the attack spell would be "Moon Tiara Action!"

>Keitaro wasn't sure why he had did it
... why he had done it ...

>so I immediately thought the worse…
the worst

I guess that's the manga story line, since in the anime Jadeite wasn't killed by Rei during her first assignment, but was engulfed in ice by much by Queen Beryl later on ...

I read this story like two years ago..I dont think you were updating anymore back then and I don't remember if I ever reviewed so I'll say it anyways: This is the best Rei/her family story I have ever read.
I think you should write some more extra scenes or a sequel to it. This particular extra scene made me really sad...poor Rei.
thanks for the scene :)

This was absolutely enchanting. Perfect, really. I've more or less tried to steer clear of fics with new characters in them, but I am so glad I read this because it is amazing. As much as I wanted to stop reading chapter after chapter positively dripping in angst and drama, I just couldn't--that's definitely a talent right there. :D

What a beautiful story, I stayed up too long to read this but it was worth it. You have a brilliant way with words and I liked how you incorporated the manga in there. Tragic but excellent story! I applaud you on such an accomplishment. I loved it! ^_^

great story

Wow! I really enjoyed reading this story right to the end. It was so captivating righ form the beginning that I couldn't wait to see what hapened next. I really liked the insight into Rei's early life and I like that it wasn't dominated with Sailor Mars, though a litte more might have been nice. I also like the research you must have put in to get all of your technical facts right. Good job! You should do more like this about the other senshi.

Did you made partial of this story up for Rei's background or does it contain some truth in it? It's pretty good and it end in good note. Good job. Quite realistic showing Rei's side. It's good to read about other solider besides the main Sailor Moon.

I was shocked when I saw that this story didn't get over 100 reviews yet. Seriously, I have to say that this story is one of my all time sailor moon fanfictions ever. I might have commented on ASMR but I have to comment of FFnet too!!
Your consistant writing style, your plot development, amazing descriptions and your character's essence is something that's actually very difficult to find in mere fanfictions, which makes you one of my favorite fanfic authors! Let me just say, I reveled in reading this story and it was worth every hour it took me to read it (it is a long fanfic -wink-) I must say that the intro got me confused but once I was hooked, the transition from Keitaro/Takara's story into Rei's ended up being as so smooth and natural it didn't matter. It also gave a very fresh perspective on how to view Rei's father. Most stories make him seem like such a total and utter **, but when you read this story it's like a whole new view on how and why he seems that way. I felt he was the easiest character to sympathize with but also the most frustrating!(I felt like Minoru: I literally pulled out my hair because of stubborn Keitaro while reading this) Anyways, I don't understand how you do it, but your ability to take only a slice of Naoko Takeuchi's story and mold it into something more detailed and empathetic is astounding, so I could go on forever (I already have, lol) BUT I just wanted to say KUDOS! and that I have no criticsm. You rock Yumeko.

This was a fantastic fanfic and I have now been able to see why Rei acts the way she does.
