no!! You can't leave it here! You must finish this. This is the only story that I have ever bawled in so you must be doing something right! You can't abandon such a powerful story right in the middle of a huge arc!

I think things should be going better and he's finally accepting the loss of his leg, but then something major should happen in his life. Prolly not him getting cancer again cuz that idea's been dried out, but maybe something else (look how much I helped ^^)

Anyway! Just WRITE IT! This is fantastic!

Loved every chapter of this story didn't think I could cry so much..still wiping tears fromt he last chapter. Hope to see this story finished. I wish I could give you advice but my creativity is limited to drawing >.

Maybe giving him a prosthetic leg? Sure, he wouldn't be able to do much with tennis, but to help him get back on his feet. Or...let's see...a few years ago, there was a study for robotic limbs...I'm not sure how well that worked, if you could incorporate that in somehow...

I really hope that you pick this up again. Don't be like me! I've only ever finished one story (and it's not all that great)!

You finally got me to cry. The switching PoV's really did the trick. So many swirling emotions...Mamoru...I feel so bad for him. I wish I could pull him close and comfort him, but I can't. Death is not something I wish to experience again anytime soon. I miss my great-aunt so much.

Your writing really has touched me. I'm crying again. Kuso.

I know how it feels to lose someone to cancer. My great-aunt just passed away at the beginning of August. My condolences to you.

This is sad, but it covers a subject that is happening around us each day.

Wow...this story is fantastic! I was seriously in tears by the time Eiji lost his leg. I really hope that you continue this. It's a great story. I wish I had some ideas to help you with, but I don't at the moment!! Maybe I will later though. But please, please continue this story! I wanna see how it ends. Thanks!

Yes! I luv it when they make Eiji have cancer!^^

...I cried...so much...its so...oh please..

I am so happy that you have decided to continue this story! I love it. In fact, I think it is my favorite story out of all the stories on my favorites...

I like the way this story is going. It makes me want to cry! and I love sad stories!! I think it is perfect. You do a bunch of things with this story that wouldn't usually be done (aka choping off Eiji's leg.)

This is an amazing story and I will love it anyway you play it out! Maybe you could have everyone visit Eiji (or has that already happened?)

I know this wasn't much help, but I hope that you continue this story! It is amazing and remarkable story that needs to be finished! I love it!

Well... I'm actually not too sure. I'm not an expert at medical stuff, seeing as how I'm barely in high school. There is always a chance of getting cancer again (I think) even if you've amputated the cancerous limb. But if Kikumaru got cancer again, I think that'd be overkill. Just slightly. Sasami should make a reappearance soon (I think you said she would). Kikumaru should start trying out prosthetic limbs and stuff. He could still play tennis with it... I think? Ah, yes. Fuji should cry in people's presence. I have no idea why I have that strange idea in my head, since it would be extremely difficult to write about. Anyways, those are just ideas on probation. I wish you luck on the updates. Thank you for preservering with this story thus far. I understand how hard it must be to write something like this, since it has more psychological stuff in it rather than sports. Good luck, Purified Darkness.

I've been reading the chapters, and I'm so sorry that you've had to go through that. I can relate to Kikumaru. Back near the end of sixth grade to seventh grade, I found out that I had a form of cancer. Not leukimia, but something called Aplastic Anemia, which meant that my blood cells were dangerously low. I had to leave school for half the year and stay in the hospital for a month and a half after I went through chemotherapy. It really is a scary thing to find out. I don't know whether or not Aplastic Anemia is life-threatening, but it was a form of cancer, so I'm guessing that it must have been extremely serious. I'll keep reading the story and hope the best of Kikumaru. Thank you for writing this. You are portaying the fear of Kikumaru very well. I realize that I felt the same thing now that I've started to read this. Thank you again.

this story made me cry but i loved it please keep it up

You could talk about Kikumaru's schooling during treatment, or about his private tutor.
You could talk about the drugs and side effects
You could talk about his classmates' changing perception of him (afraid of catching cancer, think he's "strong", try to be his new best friend)
You could have him make friends with one of the other kids in the cancer ward...they can either be discharged or die after some sufficient time together.
You could talk about the family trying to come up with money for his treatment-- all the while trying to keep it from Eiji.
You could talk about fund raisers, or the Make A Wish Foundation
You could talk about Kikumaru's ANGER at getting cancer...how it's not fair and how he wants to know WHY
You can talk about the regular's feelings about cancer.
I recommend reading published fiction on kids with cancer. "Before I Die" or "Side Effects" are both really good. So is "Girls, Drums and Dangerous Pie" for a perspective from the sibling's side.

Hi, why don't you finish the story?
It's the best story I've read in
Please.. PLease.. Please...

this fic has been so emotional so far, i've been crying nonstop since the first chapter (and my homework has tearstains on them now...yes, i'm supposedly doing hmwk). the way that you express how everyone is feeling is incredible and thank you so much for writing such an awesome fic!
