Just reread the fic. It's even better the second time around. You've captured the character's inner voice perfectly, illuminating her personality to perfection, which is not easy to do.

*nods* very nice... i don't personally like kodachi but i love stories that make the so-called bad guys or less important characters of the series more 3-d (just look at my story and you'll probably notice). Your work is definitely improving, and this piece is awesome! I particularly like the line "all gorgeous men are either gay, obnoxious, or taken" LOL. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to write that long email to me, i enjoyed reading it. *bows*

An intriguing possibility...even a bad person has problems that made him/her to be that way.

This is such an awesome story!! It's so deep too!! It has feeling, detail, and a very good author to back it up!! You did a great job!! If you write another story, e-mail me where it's posted, or, if you could, send my a copy!!! Keep up the terrific work!!

I like this! It's a bit OOC...**caugh a lot caugh**...but it was really well written. It seems more like Ukyo to me, but that's just me. I identify with her. I liked the end especially...that was the oocest part, but oh well. Overall, good!

Again, a very good look at this character and one possible explaination for her behavior. Well-written, good form. No technical problems. And the Author's note makes a good point, as well.

I liked this fic from the first time I preread it. Not all my editing made the final cut, but I am very pleased with the way it turned out.

I think that the fanfic writer known as Ukyo Kunoji also thought of the possibility that Kodachi might be an alcoholic (not that this is derivativwe or anything, just that someone also thought of it. A nice story nevertheless.
