abuseSomehow, I missed this chapter before, and I'm not sure how--but I really like it. You manage to explain the previous antidote issue--and restore the strong bond I like to see between all the characters. I love the Yohji and Ken dynamic--Yohji remembering that Ken was his friend for ages before Aya--and Ken dying, but worrying about what will happen afterwards, and Aya not terribly good with all the subtleties, but trying to focus on the here and now and what he needs to do. Lovely ... hoping, still, for more ...

abuseA well written Ran/Ken multi-chapter fanfic - they're rare - I like! I don't like the way you had Youji say he was gay when he has to be straight or bi (he really did love Asuka). Can I be frank?. About the Ran/Ken/Youji pairing - hell yes I mind! This actually has its reasons:

1. You have set this chapter up hoping for many "Go ahead" reviews but it actually persuaded me it wouldn't work. Ran doesn't see anyone but Ken romantically; Ken sees Youji "as a brother" not a lover and Youji is so jealous of Ken the relationship would never work.

I can love threesomes but almost every time I see someone
call a fic a threesome they mean either:
1. (A) loves (B) and (C); (B) loves (A); (C) loves (A)
2. (A) loves (B); (B) loves (A); (C) loves (A)
and all three are having sex instead of:
3. (A) loves (B) and (C); (B) loves (A) and (C); (C)
loves (A) and (B)
Your story seems directed at number 2. I only read 3. (yes
I can be very picky.)

2. As mentioned before, it's rare to see a well written Ran/Ken multi-chapter fanfic, and so stop it fitting said description?

3. I don't like Youji - purely personal I know, but it's still the reason I won't read him in the main pairing

abuseI'm so glad you returned to this. A great chapter and intriguing possibilities, and I don't mind at all your possible change of premise. I look forward to more.

abuseHi,

I was pleased to see another chapter of this story, because I liked it when you posted it a while ago--it was an interesting plot, and despite some grammar/spelling idiosyncracies, you have a knack for some some pretty images and poetic turns of phrase. But I'm a bit confused--in the last chapter, didn't they get the antidote for Ken? I hadn't actually thought you were continuing the story, and I have no issue with the intro of the Yohji dynamic, it just feels like a direction shift--not necessarily a bad thing, but I'm not sure it jells with the previous part. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with the story.

abuseAw... poor Yotan. Moreover... does Omi know it was Nagi who poisoned Kenken? I doubt he would be so infatuated with Nags if he knew that he poisoned and nearly killed his best friend... but I guess Ran would shi-ne him before anything, right?

abuseWow. That was very good. I liked the plot idea and they way you developed the story and Ken and Aya's relationship. Almost could have had more to it but it ended well, and thoughtfully. Nice.

abuseWas that a hint that Yohji might have feeling for Aya? Oh well, don't matter. That was a really cute stroy!

abusewow, I never realized that I hadn't sent you a review for this fic. I read it like, I dunno, last june and never reviewed. I'm sorry. I really enjoyed it though. It was such a good idea and well written too! Now I have to go check out some of your other stuff!

abuseaw...sweet ending, if a bit sudden. One minute it was fight scene, the next it was conclusion, so it was a little surprising. I think that you should write a sequel to this. And I'm so glad that Ken survived...^^. And you do know that he plays goalie, right?
I really liked your story, and I think that you wrote it really well, although you should continue it in a sequel.
