I know this is (somewhat) the wrong chapter, but since you can't review twice on a chapter, I'll have to commend you on the scene where Kenshin (half-heartedly) tries (not?) to kill Kaoru here. That scene with the sad humour, the hopelessness vs hopefullness, and his realization that he loves her too much to follow through with his orders. You handled that brilliantly, and it was a great read. It was an interesting turn when Kenshin, when faced with such a truly personal sacrifice told Kaoru not to "give [him] that crap" about a better Kyoto. Selfish as they may be, his feelings finally broke through. I also really liked the next part where he's lost and asking Kaoru what to do, and she tells him he isn't a machine-and the determined choice he finally makes after she speaks to him. Kenshin's been walking such a fine, grey line for so long now, and finally made his choice; very determined and resolute-passionate. Well, well done. Excellent work :)

This is definitely one of my favourite BP chapters. It's completely heart-wrenching, and an emotional ride both up and down. I really like what you did with the characterization as well as the excellent plotting you did surrounding Katsura and Takasugi in this fic-very expressive, animated and they definitely, indeed willing to burn down the world for the sake of the future.

I really like how the Kenshin/Kaoru relationship has developed, especially in the later chapters, and very especially this one.

I could really feel the urgency and emotion with which K & K ran away, and the whole ordeal with evading capture, only to be caught in the end. I could totally envision the heartbreaking when Kenshin flipped out and told her not to listen to him, and that they'd a normal life with 10 kids and a vegetable garden in the backyard-as well as Kaoru's incredibly painful decision.

I commend you for that, as well as the scene that followed when she once again saw Kenshin on the bench..that was really emotional and well-done. After reading this, I flew to complete me (continued) to stay up all night reading. You're a great writer. You've done a fantastic job, and I can't wait to continue Complete Me, when you get to it :)

It's been ten years since you started posting this wonderful fan fic, and still, in 2012, I love reading it again and again. Thank you so much for such a wonderful, one-of-a-kind fan fic!

Hello, i am writing ths review, say, 1 week aftr reading your story. Your creation was somethng to commend because of its very, and i mean very, really very great style of writing. Two thumbs up.

I thnk you deserve an honest review at the very least.

There were so many episodes that were so sad, so heartbreaking, and i just love the angst in it. I especially love the part where Katsura showed Kenshn the video where Kauro removd hs memory(8 strikes me as s0mthng sweet, hmm), and of course the dilemma of Kauro on the later part of d story.

I do not, howevr, quite agree to the methods of both Katsura and Hiko of totalLy eradicAting the "hitokiri" in Kenshin's mem0ry, althougH i underStand their reas0ns behind such difficult decision. Hey, i actualLy had piloerection and my chest ached as i read that chapter..

It was beauTifulLy madE, and that, i'm telLing you, is the understatement of the centUry. . :D

YOU are a great writer.

Whittney.

I absolutely love this fic. It was amazing to read but the end broke my heart.

It's so sad that he forgot! How could Katsura be so unforgivable! He ruined Kenshin's life to make a "new Tokyo" and then decided he needed to get rid of Kenshin because he didn't belong in the new Tokyo he helped create! UGH! He makes me so mad! So exiting! Usually I don't like AU's and only read fictions that take place in the official timeline and follows the storyline but this story has completely changed my prespective. I cannot put into words how much I love this story. It was kind of unexpected how in the end Kenshin says "that I am". I've been reading this story for three days straight (didn't even get any sleep saturday night) so I'm so used to the "battousai" Kenshin.

Anyway, I can't wait to read the sequel! So exiting! ttfn!

nice
