evilteddybear 2008-05-17 ch 1,	abuseThank you for your time and effort!! I think you did a very good job in keeping the characters in character, or situation pretty true to the RK cannon, without being repetitive. I know that's hard to do in an AU without reusing some plot or lines from the manga or anime. :) Thanks again!
kokoronagomu 2008-02-12 ch 1,	abusestuff happens, i couldn't read this when it was posted, i am sorry it took so long... my sister died, then both computers. it is a wonderful beginning, well told, please continue. thank you, ginny
J Luc Pitard 2008-01-14 ch 1,	abuseThis is a promising start. Similar basis as another of your stories, but with a different premise. I hope you do continue this (well, both if I may be greedy) as I'd like to see how his past returns and how the story parallels or diverges from plotlines of the manga.
Fenikkusuken 2007-10-29 ch 1,	abuseOh, please continue this! The premise is highly attractive!
sueb262 2007-10-28 ch 1,	abusehow did i miss this first time you posted it?!? your modern au's are perhaps the best in all the fandom. you place these tragic, old characters in a setting that is modern and familiar (and, thus, easy for us to feel at home in), but in spite of the familiarity, the characters retain all their poignancy and anguish and Romance--maybe even enhanced by the setting's culture, one that doesn't need to be "translated" or adjusted for difference. it's hard to explain--it's just that in your hands, the melding of old and new works the same wonderful magic that i became addicted to in watsuki's original work. thanks.
omasuoniwabanshi 2007-10-28 ch 1,	abuseGreat beginning. You've seamlessly moved the essential storyline to modern day Japan, though I can't quite figure out how Kenshin's sense of honor would allow him to ally himself with a criminal organization that exists to extort/steal and engage in such unsavory and exploitative activities like prostitution and drug dealing, rather than a political and revolutionary organizaion like the Ishin Shishi was during the Bakumatsu. Evon so, you've had Kenshin retain his strong sense of honor and survival instincts. That tell tale reaching for a sword that was no longer at his hip was particularly effective in showing the truth of what Saitoh said in the anime: "Once a hitokiri, always a hitokiri". Those sort of ingrained instincts can't be forgotten. I also like the part where Kenshin gives Kaoru a duck handled umbrella, and the way she patted uselessly at her dripping clothes and hair, which brought out how much she wants Kenshin to admire her. You've caught her kindness and emotional vulnerability around him very well.
p.m. 2007-10-27 ch 1, anon.	abuseI thought I was going crazy - I was looking for this fic on Friday and thought that I had perhaps gotten the author wrong (even though I was 99.9% sure I hadn't). So it's very nice to see it back, and even better to see that it's now the first part of a series. Totally worth the moment of "Am I crazy?" :)
Fickle Luck 2007-10-26 ch 1,	abuseHeh, yakuza. Somehow the beginning seems kinda...hm, out of place to me, but I'm not sure why. Hope you continue writing this...
gabyhyatt 2007-10-26 ch 1,	abusei love it
BlondieBubbles 2007-10-26 ch 1,	abusekeep this fic coming can't wait to see how it turns out...
angel-tears-16 2007-10-26 ch 1,	abuseAh, another beautiful chunk of writing from you. I expected no less. It's intriguing of course and I can't wait to see what becomes of it. It's nice to see that you're still writing.
misaoshiru 2007-10-26 ch 1,	abuseI've read this before, but it's still nifty. You remind me of the good things about the KxK pairing, something that fandom keeps ruining for me. (Also, I think there's a certain bias between KxK fans and KxT fans, which might be partly the cause of and partly caused by bashing, and while I try to remain as objective has possible...sometimes I feel the inherent jealousy. Or maybe I'm thinking about it too much. I really don't know.) You're one of the only writers in the fandom that I know of who can pull off the whole modern assassin (or modern ex-assassin) angle without writing Kenshin OOC. That's one of the things that bothers me about Linay, other than the fact that she's so incredibly overrated...but to each their own. She's a good writer. Just...yeah. (I always sound like I'm bashing her. I don't mean to. It's just that she's an example of the OOCness in typical AU fics that everyone in the fandom is familiar with. Eep. I'm going to dig myself a hole and bury myself in it one of these days.) ...sorry if I wasn't particularly coherent. I blame lack of sleep. In any case, this fic is very good, you are an excellent writer, and I feel totally unworthy whenever you review my fics. ^^; ~misaoshiru
skenshingumi 2007-10-26 ch 1,	abuseI always enjoy the way you develop the characters. I like how Kaoru recognizes that part of her has always known Kenshin's hidden identity. It is so in character that Kenshin cannot believe that Kaoru could know that and still accept him. There were two lines that I especially liked because they reveal so much of both characters. The first was, "Her hands were clutched tightly together, twisting unconsciously; he was more than ten years older than she was, and at the moment he felt every single bit of it." The other was, "He searched for something to say that would let her down gently, without shattering her innocent courage, her belief in a basic human goodness that simply did not exist." Hope you keep writing.
Michika-chan 2007-10-26 ch 1,	abuseThis story do have potencial... :P Keep on writing!
