Definitely one of the best stories I have ever read! ^o^ And it took a while for my slow self to realize that there was a 1st part to this story so I was kind of confused when you talked about the other time Kouyuu got hurt. So I'm gonna go read that now. Anyway, that was a WONDERFUL story!

That was a really cool fic! I must say, Kouyuu interrupting the execution was quite remarkable! Keep it up!

Thank you for writing this fic, it was wonderful ^^

Another excellent story! Kouyuu does seem to be a favourite target for assassins, especially when he can't fight. It's nice to see the interaction between Reishin and him.

You write such beautiful stories. All of your characterizations are great.

I've read this one on your LJ story and it's really really good... you deserve more reviews, so I'm going to add here ^_^ please do more sequels on this departure story of yours...

i absolutely adore your writing. especially seeing the growth in style and technique as you wrote more and more. Everything just blends together neatly, and a true joy to read.

it is very sad that kurou and reishin's relationship do not grow any more closer, but that's mostly intended by the creator, oh well.

Anyway, i really hope you write more about father-son, or friendship, or even better :D more shuuei/kouyuu ♥ XD

I really love your Saiunkoku Monogatari fics, especially those regarding Kouyuu and Reishin. Please continue to write more.

i love your story so much please keep up the good work.i wish you continew the story.

Beautiful, gorgeous, captivating, shall I say more? Your portrayal of the characters is simply amazing. Reishin is written in character beautifully and never ceases to amuse me. You've also done a wonderful job on describing Kouyuu's "will" and how, despite what others think, is a man of integrity.

I find the scenes between Reishin and Kurou the fruits of this story. Their dialogue is realistic and unveils Reishin's true intentions. He is a character that is not well developed in the show, so I am thrilled that you have developed him so well.

This is definitely one of the best stories I have read. Thank you very much for sharing and I hope you write more! ~the key of the twilight

Very nice story... written very well and quite in-tune with the characters... keep up the good work and hope to see more ^^

I love your story! When i first started reading this series your story Departure was actually the first one i ever read and since then i could not find a story better then that! And i think all you other stories are greaat too.

I am so touched! This story nearly made me cry just like the last one! Please write another story and have it continue next time!

It´s like you created these characters your self. You know them so well and write them perfectly! I loved this story and couldn´t stop reading! Thank you for writing this!

man i really really miss saiunkoku. but at least i got to watch the first season. this was an AMAZING short story. you should really consider writing something longer...OF EPIC PROPORTIONS BWHAHAHHA...ehm. yea. once again lovely story. i was so sure reinsin would chop their heads off right there, but kouyou called him father and that was his undoing. i kept on reading that part over and over. i love it when kouyou goes against reishin's will, and succeeds.

lovely, simply lovely. i hope you plan on writing more stories featuring these characters!
