YOHOO! I luffles this chapter out of all of them. This one is my favorite, mainly because I love you portrayed Atobe, so very specifiic and vivid in your details. Yosh excellent!

~animeo~

I knew it! Tezuka must feel something about Fuji's disappearance. He was just to stiff to let his feeling show. And Inui... He must be desperate to find any emotion from Tezuka. Hmm, I wonder whose side the puppet master was. Or maybe he knew that Atobe's request was not his own request. So he fulfill it yet he prepared an alternative plan after Atobe released his hold on Fuji. And that's why he asked Taka to give the charm to Tezuka. I know that the curse is like a knife with two sharp side. He didn't want the curse hurts his young master so he prepared a substitute (Mizuki). Or it could be that the puppet master was someone that has relation with the Fujis so he wouldn't let Fuji got the harm permanently. Am I right? Please post the next chapter quickly! I can't wait to read what would happen next!

I haven't read it yet because I was so excited when I saw you updated so WELCOME BACK! Pls do finish this wonderful story!

Wow. Depressed Tezuka. You don't see that one too often. But really, it's nice to finally see that he really has been affected, even if he refuses to show it. And silly Fuji, forgetting that Tezuka loved him and causing himself so much pain. Really, though, this story is amazing! I'm glad you got this chapter out, even if it took awhile. And, even if it takes awhile again, I'll look forward to the next one!

OMG wen i saw this update in my in box i nearly fell out of my chair *grins* so excited!

ok now yea.. i like Tez's memories.. they were certainly different compared to everyone else's.. where they felt that something or someone important was missing he tryin to fix the prob or at least occupy their time lol

Eiji's attitude is hilarious.. i mean yea i feel sorry for Tez and all but i guess i never thought Eiji would somehow figure watever was wrong was Tez's fault.. i guess in a way it is since Fuji never felt Tez loved him resulting in, as he said, the curse feeding off his doubt huh *sigh* poor thing lonely.. even Echizen notice.. i guess its expected since Fuji was a constant by his side.. oo lol cant forget the origami man lol that in itself was hilarious.. i have no idea wat the result will b.. obviously i want him to remember at least the perpetual smile but yea have no idea lol

as always Mizuki is a creepy guy in this fic so i have nuttin to really say about his behaviour *sigh* but oo the realization Fuji finally had lol i thought he was a tensai... even i understood that wen he told Atobe that "Because I don't love you," in the locker room that it meant he loved Fuji wen he was remembered lol *sigh* i hope its not too late.. i have no idea wat'll happen nex esp wid the 'puppet master' and all but plz update soon!

It sure has been a while :)
Very interesting chapter. I thought you pulled off the climax really well. It was interesting how it ended up that the forgetting thing was actually working both ways. Anyhow, hope to see the next chapter soon.

Ah! Yay, you updated. I'm insanely happy right now so thank you. I really hope that Fuji gets saved in the end, because it would be too sad if they didn't have a happy ending. I loved that you showed how much turmoil Tezuka was going through inside, because for a moment there, I lost a little bit of faith in him myself - and I'm glad that Fuji realised he loved him too. Will the shaman help make things right now? I hope so.
Thanks for the chapter. I look forward to your next update!
--> peace out.

-glomps yo-chan- YOU DID IT! YOU PULLED OFF ONE MORE CHAPTER! AND IT WAS *GREATO* THE ANGST THE LOVE THE DECEPTION! -brain explodes from chained Syuu-chan angstying-

-calms down-

This was AWESOME i RE-READ it! Tezuka's suicidal thoughtful moments made me sqeuk out loud! And then when Mizuki DARED to touch TEZUKA'S Syuu-chan i was sharping my butterknife...

Anyways great chapter! XD

I can't wait for more, plus don't forget about FATWR ;P

(laughing at Mizuki) It was so typical of Fuji, always ignoring Mizuki-what-is-his-name-something no matter where he was. (chuckles)

Poor Tezuka... stuck with six unhappy, low-spirited tennis members... I'm very amused when Eiji gaves his dirty look at Tezuka, it's quite very courage of him. (grin)

(look at Atobe walking up to Tezuka) Again? Boy, it's going to be all long day... He's not giving up, is he? -_-U Poor Tezuka, indeed...

(hugs yoshikochan) One more chapter and epilogue left to go! (dancing happily, waving a Tezuka/Fuji flag)

Eh? There's only a chapter and an epilogue left? I really don't like the endings of good stories, but they always come anyway. What do you mean "And now it was too late?" Is that for Mizuki, or Fuji? Please update! ^_^

What? NO! You can't have finished the story! I'm really hoping I read that last bit as "Finished the chapter" and not the story because somehow, Fuji HAS to escape and get back to Tezuka. Somehow, Tezuka HAS to remember his lover! Maybe he could be looking at Mount Fuji or experiance some trigger like a dream or photo so he can pour all his love and feelings into calling Fuji's name so it works against the spell. Yes, I know I'm proberbly ranting by now, but, but... PLEASE..beg, grovel.. please make so evil cannot win!

Just came upon your fic...what an interesting story. I read it all in one sitting! I think this is one of the few times where I didn't see the twists coming, with Atobe turning out to be one of the bad guys and that not only Fuji's friends and family forgot about him but he as well of Tezuka's love. Hope the next update comes soon.

Write more soon! Can't wait till they're reunited.
... They will be reunited... RIGHT?!?!?! Yes, they will be! XD

He'd woken up one morning and felt as if the foundation below him had vanished; and yet everyone still expected him, the heaviest column, to continue to stand.

Oh, how I love that line! Fuji is Tezuka's pillar of support -wibbles-

Anyway I need the next chappie soon!! I feel like crying, you know,, I was drown in Fuji's feeling -sobs-
Fuji!! how could you forget >.<

anyway I love how you described Fuji slowly remember that he WAS being loved, the slow realization was bittersweet.. and I di hope it's not too late that he remember of Tezuka's love now >.<

please, the next chappie soon and please make a happy ending!!
and sorry for the long review x3

Noo, Mizuki how could you? Please update! ^_^
