aw poor tokio T_T... yaso's kinda...emo... and a **... lol... great job ^^ will you still update this? i hope you will update this soon ^^

I just reread this chapter. It is *so* beautifully written and emotionally powerful. Thanks again!

I just found this story and found I could not stop reading it until I reached the last chapter. It is very well written and you build up the characters quite well. Unlike many fanfics you keep them in character throughout the fic and allow me the reader to follow along quite easily. I do hope you finish this one because it is good!

I can't tell you how happy I am to see that you are continuing this fic. I look forward to following along until the end.

First of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart for updating this story. In my opinion it is one of only a few truly 'classic' Saitou/Tokio fics that have been written. I am *so* happy that you updated; it *made* my day!

Whew...the emotional tension in this chapter was intense. Brilliant writing on your part! Never, ever feel like you have to apologize for the shortness of a chapter. This one was the perfect length to accomplish its purpose, and end this phase of the Saitou/Tokio relationship. I look forward to the next installment, regardless of how long it may take. Thanks again for the wonderful read!

Great job, good luck.

First of all let me say how happy I am that you updated! I was so excited when i saw that you had posted a new chapter. :D
Excellent chapter very heartbreaking though! I feel thier pain. :( I can't wait to see what happens in the next.

Firstly, let me say how glad I am to see that you are back! Welcome, welcome, welcome back! This was such a wonderful surprise to see on such a cold and blustery day, and it warmed be through and through.

Ah, I see how things are now starting to take shape and gather speed. I am not sure, but I believe that Tokio spends a year with Teru-hime before Yaso dies? I am already waiting with baited breath as to their reunion and how the wolf tries to make up for all his past wrong but honorable decisions...

I have always loved reading this fic for not only are there not enough Saitou and Tokio stories out there (one of my all time favorite couples) but the gentle flow of your writing is so soothing and elegant.

A wonderful update and I am so glad that you are able to come back to us.

I love this story, it is honestly one of my favourites. Please update soon. I can't wait to see what happens next.
I love the way you have developed the characters.

Wow! I just finished reading the whole 14 chapters again...it's either my third or fourth time doing that. This is a masterpiece! I hope that someday you will be able to return and add more to it. If not, thanks so much for taking us this far!

Hello!
I really liked this fic a lot. Your style was great, not too much description and not too little. You kept it elegant and meaningful as well, which is hard to do. I also liked your characterizations: while reading, I felt like Saitou was saitou. I enjoyed the inclusion of Yaso for a love triangle, which isn't something I've seen before. And you keep the romance realistic and heartfelt; I can understand where all the characters are coming from and I can empathize with them all.
Most of all, I liked that you kept Japanese social customs in mind. This is also something that I (unfortunately) have never seen before. Granted, not many fanfiction authors know too much about social customs, but the point is still valid.
I hope that you update soon as I'm really looking forward to reading more. :)
Kudos to you, please keep up the good work!

Wow! Well written, very intense chapter. Nice insights into Yaso's background and her very confused mind set.

I really liked your set up: Keiko's dreams about Tokio, the lightening and rain whipping up to be a trigger, the revelation that Yaso saw the two of them the night before the wedding, and just the right amount of crazed behavior from Yaso.

Can't wait to see how Saitou 'cleans up' after her. Thank you for the wonderful update.

Wonderful story. I love all of the twists. Usually don't read Saito/Tokio stuff, but I've enjoyed this story greatly. Good luck!

I have been having the best time reading your work - this is such an awesome and wonderful fic, and all your effort put into the characters personalities and the historic details surrounding them are greatly enjoyed and appreciated. :)

What fortitude and devotion Saitou and Tokio show - living close together but having to stay so far apart emotionaly due to Yaso. I can understand how Tokio is starting to look forward to maybe leaving and seeing Teru-hime in Tokyo. Without sounding morose or perverse I hope that things start to move more quickly between Saitou and Tokio (meaning I hope that Yaso's condition accelerates...). Their lives are starting to feel weighted down and as if they were in some sort of suspended animation and going nowhere fast.

I am so glad that you are back, and I always look forward to your updates. Thanks for all the hard work!

This chapter is a nice transition. After quite sometime of putting their feelings toward one another on hold, this chapter hints that things will start up again soon.

Thank you for updating. As anxious as your readers were for this chapter, I think that it was a good decision to wait until you were reunited with your computer and all of your notes, so you could proceed as you had planned!

As always, I look forward to the next chapter whenever you have the time to write it!
