Elen 2008-07-12 ch 1, anon.	abuseI refuse to believe, even so long after watching Seisohen, that karma could be this cruel to Kenshin and his family after their ordeals. The story was supposed to end at the manga's end, nice, and very happy, and no family strife, death, etc...T_T Kenshin and Kaoru T_T But, but, if it had to work out this way, I love your touch of writing the ghosts in. Reminds me of the whole Star Wars thing when Anakin and Obi-Wan appeared again at the end to watch over the next generation a peaceful feeling that patched up the utter feeling of separation that was the death scene seisohen demanded. I have one pet peeve though, in that if I'm not wrong, Kenji calls his mother "kaa-san", and no "okaa"? I'm not sure if you've chosen to do this as part of your own style, but that was the only part I personally could pick at seeing as how its a pet peeve of mine if someone doesn't get the character's speech patterns correct, when they are available. Its cute the way you interpreted Saori and Kenji's personalities =) I like how you wrote Kenji's emotional reaction-it seems very sweet that he'd be the emotional type given his parentage =3. And Saori wanting to learn kenjutsu is also cool. One last thing-am I right in that koishii means beloved/the same idea as "anata", except that the husband uses it?
me 2007-07-02 ch 1, anon.	abuseI think...I'm going to cry... That was so incredible, I'm really impressed! I know what you mean, I was crying sporadically for days after I watched it! I was hanging out with my friends later the day I watched it and just kind of burst into tears when two of my friends who were a couple kissed. I wishb I read read this then. It's really, really good. Anyone else mad that they ended the OVA where they did? Not how, where.
Houtori 2006-10-03 ch 1,	abuseAww... that was really touching; brought tears to my eyes, it did... (sniffs)
Anonymous but very interest... 2006-03-12 ch 1, anon.	abuseThis was such a sad story...very moving and beautiful. I loved reading it...I had never meant to find this story, and it was a complete accident, but I'm glad that I found it. The OVA ending was so sad that at first, I wished it hadn't ended up like that...In the manga, the series ends quite differently. But I have to admit that the OVA was quite beautiful...especially the end, how there were quotes while the music was playing. I loved how the spirits of Kenshin and Kaoru met. It was so sweet. Thank you for sharing this with us all. Good luck! =( for the sadness... ^_^ for the beauty...
squeakyinuears 2003-11-02 ch 1,	abuseHello again, Vitani FyreWolf! It's me again! I just noticed this Kenshin fic of yours, and so then I, of course, had to read it! And when I read the beginning A/N about it being set after the Seisouhen. . . well, then, I just HAD to read it! I love the Rurouni Kenshin series, almost as much as I love the Inuyasha one. Of course, I still say that the anime started dropping in quality after episode 60 or so. I still prefer the manga. However, I loved the Seisouhen - I cried so hard at the end of the last one! I want the OVA soundtrack SO badly! I've only managed to find and download one song so far! But I listen to it all the time - it's so moving. ~"Ever since I saw Kenshin's death, it has really, truly saddened me, and I find myself crying at times. I berate myself then, saying, "Jamie, you're so stupid! You're crying over an animated character!" But you know what? Kenshin was more than an animated character, no matter what other people may tell me. He seemed more real to me than a lot of the people I see around me. And I know watching his series has not left me unaffected."~ I agree completely! You know, I do believe if it weren't for Inuyasha and his silly, lovable, hanyou self, Kenshin would be my favorite anime character, ever. (But he's more than just a character, isn't he?) As it is, I still love our adorable, swirly-eyed redhead very much. Ack! But enough about that! Let's talk about this one-shot of yours! ~"That's not true. No matter how strong a man may be he will always need someone who loves him. This I know. Having such love is what gives them much of the strength they will find themselves so desparately needing in the hardest times."~ Sigh I really think that's something Kaoru would say. And it reminds me of Kagome as well. After all, isn't there a quote somewhere, saying something along the lines of "behind every great man is a woman"? And I loved the entire ending! Everything, from Kaoru's spirit joining and embracing Kenshin's waiting one, to where Kenji imagines he can almost see his father, calmly chopping vegetables, to the very end. You know, the ending of the Seisouhen left me sobbing, especially that one part where it's just the credits rolling, and Kaoru's voice is talking, and then Kenshin's voice comes on, saying "arigtou. . . Kaoru. . . sayonara. . ." This one-shot of yours has made a bitter-sweet ending not so. . . bitter-sweet, I suppose. ^_^ I'll talk to you later!

Firefury Amahira 2002-04-01 ch 1,	abusesniffle Gah! You brought back the depression! ;_; Excellent story though! I think yours is the first story to name Kenji's girlfriend =) Congrats! I myself am of the opinion that Kenshin and Kaoru died together, but your version is moving and well-written =) Keep up the good work!
Calger 2002-04-01 ch 1,	abuseAwww sniffle I liked that, I think you're a perfectly fine writer :) Maybe if the second OVA had an ending sequence like this one everyone wouldn't be so sad (I haven't seen the last ep yet, but I'll have a box of tissues with me when I do). Very nice little fic, maybe you could continue their relationship in a sequel of some kind? I'd like to read that :)
