That was really original and amazing.

First off, hello. Timid Rocket fan here, kinda new to reviewing *waves* I hope this isn't terrible.

Secondly: Oh. My. Word. You get the elusive prize of having written one of THE most original Rocketshipping fics I've seen in a good long while, and that counts for a heck of a lot in my book. With so many KojiMusa fics out there, originality is a treasured commodity- hard to come by and therefore quite valuable. The idea here was terrific, and the execution near perfect; you kept everyone for the most part in character, dialogue was good, description wasn't as extensive as it could be, but as it was a more dialogue heavy story that doesn't affect much. In other words, it was good, but sparse.

Now for a tip. One of the few gripes I had with this story was the paragraphing- I could barely see straight to read quickly because the lines were all so close together. Words stacked on top of each other like that can really make a story difficult to get through, even if it's otherwise wonderfully written. A good idea would be to press "enter" (or "return") after each paragraph and line of dialogue to give the eyes a break. That's really all I didn't like, except for not very much Nyaasu-love, but that's to be expected in a Rocketshipping ficXP

But I just want to say THANK YOU for such a wonderful read, it managed to touch me without becoming *too* melodramatic, and kept me excited, sympathetic for the characters, and dying to find out what happens next. The emotions were so clear but not cloying (the saddest part to me was the last quarter or so of chapter four. Lionel Richie's "Goodbye" happened to play at that exact moment and I was floored,3 )

No need to apologize for the ending, either- it couldn't have been better. Unexpected and a perfect clincher to the story. You did right in your decision there And if you've written anything else KojiMusa, I shall indeed be checking out more of your writing soon.

Crystal: ME LIKES! I didn't cry. I almost did, but I didn't. I almost never cry. The only stories I've ever cried over were 'Old Yeller', 'Where the Red Fern Grows',(I love doggies!) and Yama-chan's death scene in your wonderful fanfic, Pocket Monsters 2005. At least I think so... It's just one of those stories that after you read it, you just fell all shaky, you want to cry but can't, you feel too good, no matter if you were in a bad mood before... Does that even make sense? 0o Keep up the good work!

OMFin'G! DEE! This is beautiful! I didn't realize it was U till just now! My sister started balling; Dee, WHY DIDN'T U TELL ME ABOUT THIS FIC EARLIER? It's the most *sob* prettiful story I've ever read! I luv the Japanese-ness in it. _ Seriously, how weird is it, running into U and your amazing talent? Keep writing Dee, you're awesome!

-Domino(626, Woof, Rocket, etc)

Brilliant, Dee! *standing ovation* Don't make me CRY like this! *bursts into tears until Maemuki Roketto Dan is played...again* I love this! You write both hilarious AND loving and touching fics. Fantastic!

This is such an amazing fic! I love it so much! You did a wonderful job with the characters and I thought they are were all very OC! I havn't read such a good Rocketshippy fic in years! I am so surprised this only has 14 reviwes becuase it is just amazing! One of the best fics I have ever read and I have read many belive me. Great plot, so tragic and yet sweet at the same time. What a compelling story about true longing love. I love how you add all the Japanese into it to it makes it very animeish realistic. I lobve it to put it simply, wonderful writing! READ THIS PEOPLE!

sad. I hope they get back together!

Hey! Your the owner of that fabulous site Yanii Kanji! Omg I love you site! One of the very best! It is so great and so much of your stuff is soooo funny! Omg It's great! Well anyhow this is supposed to be for your fic and as I said before...It's wonderful! Just wonderful! I love it. Well written and all the Japanese aspects are great. It is a diffrent fics from all others and its uniqueness in idea and writing style is what sets it above so many others I've read. I havn't read a good one like this in years. _ Keep it up!

awww! that;s so sad! Awwww i'm gonna cry! This story is sooo sad...but so well written! Incredible...I just hope Kojiro will, I dunno, come back to life...awwww this is so sad...

Great job! Wonderful Fic!

Very nice story... so sad... It is quite an original concept too. I really look forward to seeing more chapters up. Keep up the good work!

It seems that you haven't updated in a long time! Well all I have to say is that I cannor belive you only have 9 reviews! This storyies wondeful! I love you plot! It is so well thought out and so well written! Ohhhh and it is really sad too! ;( I really liked your cliff hanger where Musashi though Kojiro was back and then Nyasu said he was dead. It was really intriguing, I mean a really great twist to add to the plot! I hope that you write more! I'm telling you I've been reading fics for a long time and I am real picky when it comes to "good" fics. I rarely review fics unless I really decide they are well written and yours most certainly is! Keep up this wonderful fic! there aren't enough rocketshippy fic on !

*awesome* whens the 3rd chapter going to be up?

*Sniffs* This's the first Pokemon fic I've ever read that made me cry! *Sniffles* Waaaah, poor Musashi and Kojiro! Oh, side comments...

Another 'Koji' bites the dust in one of your fics due to a puncture wound on the torsoe. Oo;; Is it a conspiracy, or do ya just have it out for those Koji guys?

THANKS for explaining what Onegai means! ;; I'm afraid, those I like keeping up to date on my fan-Japanese, I'd never found the translation to Onegai before. ;; Sad, no da?

I think it was cool, using the Japanese names instead of the dubby ones. ;; I dunno, I like Kojiro a tad more than I like James. I still heard the dubby voice while reading, though, 'cause I've never actually seen Pocket Monsters, just Pokemon (Sad, huh? Sorry.. ;;)! Maybe that's why I started crying while reading the parts with Kojiro talking to the Keeper of The Rift... *Sniff* Hard to imagine him crying!

Hehe! Great, original story idea! You're definitely one of my favorite fanfiction authors in both pokemon/Pocket Monster and Fushigi Yuugi, and I have you (and both of the aforementioned stories) on my favorites list! Never stop writing fanfiction, please-I haven't found this many fics that made me cry just reading them for a long time!

Heh, typical Jessie/Musashi, wanting to take a blowtorch to the peaceful day she's having at the beginning, here. ;;

Kojiro collects bottlecaps? Oo;; Ya learn somethin' new every day, I guess...

Nyasu, hmmm? Heh, I like it better than Meowth. Still, I can't keep the little, squeaky-like dub voice of him in Pokemon out of my head while reading his lines. *Sigh* I've gotta get some Japanese Pocket Monster soundclips...

Those cruel doctors, leavin' poor Kojiro to die while they went and dragged other people out of their cars! *Sigh* The least they coulda' done was give him something for the pain! Meanies...

Hey, ya forgot to put what Sempai means. ;; I assume it means 'boss', or something like that. Gomen for being ignorant-I could have looked 'Sempai' up a long time ago...

Musashi's last name is Kawamura? Oo;; For REAL? That's the last anme of Naga's voice actor, from Slayers! Hehe... Knew it sounded familiar!

Hehe...I like how you noted Musashi's Japanese accent! She would pronounce it 'Al'rana', wouldn't she? Good job noting it. Adds to the realism with the small details like that one!

'Hikari no Naka e' sounds like a pretty song. ;; The lyrics fit this story so well that I can't help but wonder if you created it based on them? Just a thought...

'Spirit Inn'. I like.

Ooh, what's an Onigiri? ;; Gomen-it must be a kind of food (no duh, pardon the pun to poor Chichiri-kun), and I'm thinking kinda like pocky, but I'm not sure. ;; Ah, well. I'm just an American otaku-so sue me (wait, I changed my mind-DON'T! P)!

Looks like Musashi didn't realize just how important Kojiro was to her until she lost him, hmm? I feel sorry for both of them after reading this. Him, for being ignored, and her for refusing to acknowledge her feelings toward him, even to herself, all in the pursuit of being 'tough'. Poor peeps...

Poor Musashi. True, being selfish is unthoughtful of her, but she's never really had anything to be happy about in her life. Cut her some slack, Rita! She's right, though-she needed to tell Kojiro before he figured things out for himself. *Sniff* So sad...

Heh, you're right, the ending's sorta odd. ;; A Nyasu, huh? That's interesting to think of. Lol! Kojiro makes a kawaii Nyasu, but I liked him better human. *Shrug* Maybe when something happens to Musashi, Nyasu Kojiro will follow her back to the afterlife and they'll both be happy together, ne? That's what I'd like to think, anyhow.

Well, once again, one of your excellent fics has left me all choked up. ;; I mean, at one point I had to pause in reading because the screen was getting too blurry to read! My throat hurt, too...just like it did when I was reading that certain chapter of 'Fushigi Yuugi: The Next Chapter'. I'm listening to Mizu Kagami right now.

Thanks for posting this, and please don't disregard it-it's the only Pokemon fic I've ever read that made me cry, and was, in my humble opinion, wonderfully written and described! Keep that sugoi spark of life and realism in your writing, always, and please add Episode 17 of 'Fushigi Yuugi: The Next Chapter' soon, too!

-Threshie, otaku of DeeChan's fanfiction

oh my God! i havent cried that much in ages! that was really beautifully writen and i love that song anyway. Although now i'm gonna end up crying evey time i listen to it! But welldone anyone -definately one of my favourite fics -I just wish i could stop crying...

*sniff* That was...the saddest...story...I've ever read... You've got talent...poor Jessie...poor James...

If that's not neough, I'm listening to 'If You Still Believe' from Legend of Dragoon, and its making me cry even harder! *sniff*
