Hello there! I just read all the chapters (3 days thanks to school and all) and I have to say that this story ... I like it more than the anime itself. When the Koji thing happend I swear I just sat and cried... at 3 o´colck in the morning.
I absolutly love your story and just can´t wait for you to write the next one + you have long chapters witch I love. Soo thank you.

Lol, lack of sleep can make a person think strange things. Why, I recall times in the wee hours of the morning sitting on my bed sketching because I just did not want to listen to my body and fall asleep, when my head would be nodding forward and half the time I wasn't even paying attention to whatever it was I was drawing. I would finally cave and put the stuff down, turn off my light and hit the hay. After I was awake again and walking around the house the next day, I'd eventually pick up my sketchbook and look at what I did early that morning. Nine times out of ten it was better than if I'd been fully awake! XD

Ah, good times, good times.

Heh, I know I said I should probably go but I figured, meh, I still have time, let's see if I can knock off reading another chapter so I'm closer to being caught up. Yay for effort!

Yeah, Hataku is definitely cool. Rooming next to Tasuki? Hmm...dunno if that's such a good idea. I mean, the guy probably snores loud enough to raise the dead. But, hey, not my call.

XD 'Chiri giving piggyback rides to Tasuki if he got tired? THAT would be amusing. I snickered at the mental image that flashed through my mind, however brief. He's such a baby when it comes to walking. Why should he complain? It's not like he has to worry about keeping up with Chichiri or anything, considering he's faster of the two. But then, I suppose it just make all us fangals love him all the more, ne?

Hm...not much to say about this chapter. I really don't like Setsuka-may she die a thousand deaths-all that much, and this chapter had a lot of her. No offense to your writing skillz or nothin'.

I felt bad for the remaining Elements. They're in a real sucky situation, especially Tsuchi. Poor guy. Mizu, too. And Sora. So, yeah, basically I have empathy for all three of them. I actually went on your FY:NC xanga account to lookit the Elements pic I drew for you awhile ago.

...Yeah, my brain has definitely used up most, if not the entirety of its capacity to come across to other individuals in a clear, communicative way. So, before I force anymore meltdowns in my skull, I'm gonna end it here until another time.

You're awesome, Dee-chan! Keep up the work! Maybe sometime after I catch up on FY:NC I can get back to reading the other fanfic you were writing that I can't remember the name to where you had a protagonist whose name began with a 'M' and was walking around in a yester-year-modernized Universe of the Four Gods. ...My brain hurts...T.T

Praying she keeps her own sanity long enough to last until Thanksgiving Break,

Another chapter read! Wahoo!! Not exactly the most happy chapter in the world, considering what happened in the previous chapter, however it did have its moments. For instance: Yay for stubborn redheads! (In one sense, anyway!) -huggles Ritsuka- Just in time to save our flame-haired bandit-boy from making a really dumb decision.

Hehe, 'Chiri's little 'yay I'm back in action no da!' scene was awesome while it lasted, and what a stellar introductory speech from Kiori! -applauds- Now he's all the more eligible for huggles, be they from fangirls or a certain special gal that he's blind about his feelings for! Yeah!

Yay for fluff...it was, kinda, wasn't it? Well, I'm calling it that because it gives me happy.

The thought of Tasuki blushing over something so slight makes me want to squee. Seriously. Him and Ritsu just get along so well. Too bad him's inexperienced with womens. Painfully inexperienced. Poor guy. Even Chichiri has one up on him there lolz.

Making guys blush is fun. I've managed it a few times, but I'm usually kinda shy. Must've been on a sugar-high or something. Sugar can make people do amazing, crazy things. And it's so tasty, too! ^_^

Kiori and 'Chiri make me want to squee as well. Just wish all the tension would ebb so they could get closer. But alas, I shall have to wait for that to come to fulfillment. Hehe, how awkward is sleeping on the floor of your own room when a pretty girl's sacked out on your bed? Oh, the sexual tension. Lol, just another thing they won't be hearing about, huh? That sounds like me sometimes. I try not to do something if I know it's not permitted with the system of things (whatever it may be), however, if something does happen it's just "hmm...well, they don't need to know...heh." It's bad, but kinda fun when you think about it.

I MISS KOJI! T.T -cries inconsolably-

-kicks Setsuka; hisses-

I wonder if Tasuki would like cheesecake? -ponder- Mm...cheesecake...

Hataku got a lotta 'screen time' in this episode, huh? He's one of your favs, right? I think I remember a conversation from back when concerning that. Eh, if not, doesn't really matter, does it? He's cooler now that he's with the good guys.

And...yeah. I can't really think of anything else to say. My brain's kind of suffering right now from lack of sleeps and too much work. Oh, wait, I just unnecessarily defined college. Silly me. -falls over dead from exhaustion- Can't guarantee when next I'll be able to review. I'm always so busy as of late T.T

BY THE WAY...sort-of, I had a question concerning the pic I said I was drawin' for you but you never replied back... -pout- Well, I was just wondering if you read the sloppy description and had any ideas of your own that I could use to incorporate into the pic? If not, I can just go with my own creative juices but since you be teh author of said fanfic, thought I'd ask. I've got most of it laid out by now. All my shapes actually have form and defining characteristics now! Yay! Haven't done any inking yet, though.

Okay, now my brain's really dead. So, awesome job, keep up the awesome work, yer awesome, don't let your awesome self get too beat from college...and...yeah. Awesome. Later!

Amaya

wow this is Like REALLY GOOD! Go kiori(sorry if i spelled that wrong)and chichiri! I really like Hataku to. he seem so nice even though hes kinda gruff. An it kinda seem like Houkai is startin to crush on him witch would be so cool!

It’s me again, reviewing like I promised I would.

Man…you really are good. You made me cry. -dabs at her eyes- Even if it was different from our western culture, it was still interesting in a somber kind of way, the way the funeral customs go over there. I’m actually in an Anthropology class this year at my college that deals with how different cultures deal with death and the dying. We looked at Japanese mortuary rituals just two days ago, actually. Not quite the same thing, but there were some similarities. The brief study included Oban too, if you know what that is. You probably do, since you’re the one taking Japanese courses, not I.

To tell you the truth, this chapter was kind of hard to read. You didn’t make any mistakes or anything, before you start scanning the chapter for errors. That’s not what I meant. Thing is…well, recently I had to bury someone I loved, and the imagery there in front of me was just so strong and clear and the emotions reflected by everyone in my mind’s eye sent my own bubbling up to the surface. At times I couldn’t see the screen all that well.

It was all there. The numbing cold at first when you just can’t take it all in; you stumble around, almost in a daze, not sure what to really DO, and then that horrible moment when you realize that this unimaginable thing is happening hits you and you just lose it. Heaven knows I did. I’m not ashamed to admit that. When you’ve experienced that pain, you don’t care how, where, or when, just whom. I’ve heard it gets easier to deal with as time goes on, but it’s not ever something you really ever stop hurting over, you know? To be blunt…it really sucks.

Sorry, wasn’t trying to depress you or anything. That isn’t my purpose in writing this.

It was beautifully written. I wish the plot hadn’t taken a twist in this particular direction because I really love Koji to pieces, and everyone else, and to see everyone taking his death so hard hurt too. You made it all very real and not in the least corny. I wanted to be there to hug everyone. In real life, I hate seeing people I love cry and not being able to do anything about it.

Once again, another excellent chapter, although, truthfully, not among my favorites in this story. I’ll try to review again soon…I gotta study for a test in two days and I have an art project due next week as well...all stippling! (Taking a fine-tipped marker and making an infinitive amount of tiny dots that make up the form, values, lines, etc. of the entire composition. Doesn't that sound fun? WRONG! It's freaking tedious work and sometimes my eyes hurt from looking at so many tiny dots for hours on end!) Soon as I get a moment’s reprieve…as well as some happy-time drawing in, I’ll be sure to look up FY:NC and leave my comments. That’s a promise!

Until next time,

Amaya

DEE-CHAN! -attack of teh loves-

Hey! How goes it, gal? Bet'cha didn't expect to hear from me ever again, huh? Lolz. Never fear, I have not forgotten yer writtin' genius and returned just to reviews! Took me a moment to find which chapter I last reviewed, though, heh...

Yay for more Tasuki-Ritsuka squabbles! Nawe, dey wuvs each others, ya can tells… (I’d probably be killed very slowly and painfully if I said that within earshot of either one of them redheads, huh?) I have to sympathize a bit with Ritsu, despite my fangirlishness. What wouldn’t be fun about doing a running jump onto fang-boy’s back? I do that to all my guy friends when the mood strikes me, but I’m so stealthy they don’t hear me coming or know what hit ‘em until I’m already there and fused, haha.

I liked the private guy chat. It was cute. And highly entertaining. I started snickering just picturing that infamous 'wtf?!' look on Tasuki's face when he found out he was the only one of the their lil' group to have not gotten any action. (I say ‘infamous’ because I like drawing that look on him. It amuses me.) Poor guy. Not that I have either, but no one that special has come along yet for me. In his case, though...hehe, well, he's hot but doesn't really use his brain. Sigh, it's usually how it is with those very pretty ones...

WAI! Koji acting all mushy just talking about Hareya. Mush fest! -glompattacks him- The big mushball...I'd love to call him that just to see how he'd react; I'd gush like the fangirl I am whatever happened, I know that.

-hisses and swipes at Setsuka-

EEK! -reaction after reading the last scene- GAH! NU! OMG NOT THAT! -whimper- Dee-chan, why did you have to move the plot in this direction so soon? -extremely sad face- As I’ve read this before, I knew it was coming, but…gosh darn it… Don’t worry; I’ll keep reading and such. Just don’t expect my next one to be happy.

Write me sometime. I miss chatting with you!

Amaya

Aww, man! I finally caught up with you! Bummer...now I have to wait for the next chapter just like everyone else. Oh well...I'm sure it will be worth the wait! It's frustrating, but I'm also glad that people haven't hooked up yet. It's more true to life this way. Plus, when (and hopefully that's not if!) they do, it will be so worth the wait I'm sure! Keep up the great work; I look forward to reading more!

*sob* Darn you! Why did you have to kill Koji, huh? Great job with making me cry. This was a really well-written chapter, even if I didn't like what happened. You're doing a great job!

Dang it, I was going to take a break after this chapter too! But now I get to say "Screw going to bed!" Hopefully I'll find a good stopping point soon, though...it's already midnight, and I've got to watch 17 two-year-olds tomorrow (go daycare!). I'm really enjoying this story; you've done a wonderful job so far!

update real soon.
i like how its like an actual anime.
:]
UPDATE!

Woot! You'sa updated! *cheers and runs off to listen to the new music* ...I love it! ^w^ Update soon, 'kay? (I'm startin' to turn into a Hataku fangirl too.

YAY! Another great chapter! I miss Koji, too, and I hope nothing bad happens to Tasuki. And I'm glad that Kiori and Chichiri are doing okay again. I can't wait to see things deepen between them! It's going to be so cute!! (Actually, it already is.) :)

Well, been waiting like, forever! I'm still here, enjoying this fic... and getting new ideas for the fic that I put on the shelf, but that'll have to wait till after my exams end.

Whee - I'm enjoying the flow of the story, and I loved the Kiori/Chichiri stuff... though I wish Akai would just grow up already! She's acting like such a jerk that I ended up rooting for Hataku during their sparring, despite my loving her character... meh.

Hope the next bit comes asap!

RK9.

*tries ti sit back on the chair after falling off* This story is like an onion! Each time I think it can't get better, you prove me wrong!

I must give you my sincere thanks for FINALLY giving us a clue about the special relationship the two redheads share! *evil laugh & dramatic thunder from the background* Seriously know, could Hataku hook up with Houki-sama? (thinks for a couple of hours) It wouldn't be a bad idea! But I guess it'd be kinda weird... But then again... (sweatdrops) Ok, I'll stop now!

You're writing a book? A real, page-filled book? It sounds great! Can you tell us more about it next time? *puppy eyes* I wish you luck with it! Fight-o girl!

Well, until next time! ( I wish Akai'll stop hurting Hataku's feelings... I WILL become a fangirl in the end!) ^.~
