JackieDeBurg 2008-07-26 ch 24,	abuseI'm sure I've reviewed before awhile ago, but I just reread your story and I must comment again. It is so poignantly beautiful. And a little heart breaking. The way it starts with Kenshin not caring for her, and then that growing love and protection to the point where he wanted them to have a normal life together...that was amazing. And then the complex characters and the way you've tied this wonderfully orginal story to aspects of the show, it is truly great. I know you haven't posted on Complete Me in awhile (I know you must be very busy and obviously writing fanfiction isn't your life), but I truly hope you find the time to finish it. Not only do I think it's a shame to leave such a beautiful saga unfinished, but I know you would be making some VERY happy fans. And to be honest, after all that has happened to Kenshin and Kaoru, I REALLY want to see them have their happy ending. You've created an amazing love story, and it would be great to find out what happens.
anonymous 2008-07-04 ch 24, anon.	abuseHe dragged her to his chest, wrapping his strong (but not strong enough to save her) arms around the young woman, burying his face into her damp hair. "I love you." Wow. The tears couldn't stop flowing .. from then on I knew something was going to happen. Even when you tried to coax it with the "running away together" thing. I knew something was going to happen. :(, the ending really bummed me out .. like...it really did. Couldn't stop bawling, seriously. But yeah.. i'm really bummed out right now. I love your writing, I love this story. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. Spent the last 2 hours straight staring at the screen. I see you haven't updated from your sequel in a while. I hope you do, And I hope Kenshin gets his memories back because I like him better before. And I find the love between them way more precious than without his memories. Sighs* , all the "better kyoto" crap. :"( , but good job. my favourite author as of now :)

Kelly1910 2008-05-23 ch 24,	abuseHi! Well I have to say that 'Broken Pieces' truly has made an impact on me, and a bloody good one at that. We're talking like creme de la creme of RK fics here :D It's been such a rollercoaster of emotions, you know? I love when stories make you feel more than the average 'Damn I wouldn't like to be Kaoru there' or the opposite is some cases, cough. It went deeper than that, and your characterization! Jeez, it was like a movie lol It's great when your given the situations faced in this story and you sit and think what the anime/manga Kaoru would do and then she goes ahead and does it. True in-characterness...is that a word? Hehe In the earlier chapters when it's hinted at that Kenshin liked to go at it with hookers occasionally when he was younger got me a bit confused but then the whole idea of 'stress relief' came to me and I got it. Eventually lol racked by brain for a while there. I could see that in canon, if Kenshin hadn't met Tomoe and had kept on going the way he was, he probably would've been the same. And that's why I love this story! Okay, basically, Battousai was tragic ( and hot! ;)), Kaoru was human and personable and the whole story was wonderful with the foreshadowing and the tangible feeling of the love between Kenshin and Kaoru growing. Superb, I applaud you. The last chapter, with the use of all the stuff from previous chapter was rather masterful if I can say so myself. The ending was bittersweet but after all, isn't that how all the best stories end? ;) Look forward to the next chapter of Complete Me. KDx Thank you for sharing this with us!
LadyBardock 2008-05-22 ch 24,	abuseOnly one possible comment - one of the best stories I've ever read on FF. Thank you.
nicole 2008-05-14 ch 24, anon.	abuseI finally finished rereading broken pieces since you finished the story two years ago. and i loved it just as much as the first time =D I started reading broken pieces when you were still updating chapter 5... so obviously, i stuck with it for a long time. i just can't wait until complete me is finished even if it takes another 10 years =] haha. good luck to you with everything in life. nicole
Enjiru 2008-05-09 ch 24,	abuseThat was great! An unsuspected ending, but great nonetheless!
naningxoxo 2008-05-07 ch 24,	abuseOh wow. I really don't know how to respond to what I just read. I'm serious when I say that your writing is amazing. It's the best I've seen, and I've seen a lot. And I started bawling and sobbing my eyes out when I read the end. You really do need an alternative ending. I can't wait til the sequal and I hope you finish it!
asteries 2008-05-06 ch 24,	abuseoh gosh, i love this story! it was a great ending. i'm so glad there's a sequel. =)
naningxoxo 2008-04-30 ch 10,	abuseOh gosh. I'm still amazed at how well you write. Anyway, I loved the scene where he was so damn protective and than the night scene... I reread that over and over again cuz it was so damn sweet.
tcl7189 2008-04-30 ch 1,	abuseGREAT GREAT and did I mention GREAT! XD
RoseTornado 2008-04-30 ch 24,	abuseDespite the vulgar language and relentless cruelty all the way up till near the end of this fic, the final ending was actually quite sweet. And fitting, too, perhaps. As fitting as could be in this case, anyway. This way, Kenshin cannot remember his past crimes, and so will lead a guilt-free life, as a human being, no longer the monster he used to be. And now, Kaoru can love him without hesitation, because he is no longer a manslayer. AND last but not least, the Kenshin that emerges at the end of this fic is more like the Kenshin that we all know and love from the manga/anime (sans OVA's), with all the charm of his mild manners and respectfulness. Overall critique for this fic: It was a rocky start, and a painfully hard journey, but the ending is sweet, and the plot was not disappointing, with all its twists and turns. Just don't overdo the twisting and turning bit, or the angsty bit, too much in the sequel, PLEASE. Too much, and it can be painful to read. And I do hope also that the sequel will have LESS vulgar language, seeing as Kyoto is now a supposedly less corrupt environment, most of the thugs and underground people have been killed off, and Kenshin is now given a fresh start with an innocent life, free of bloodshed. I look forward to the sequel!
RoseTornado 2008-04-29 ch 18,	abuseOh, yeah. One thing I forgot to mention in my previous review: I find it incredibly surprising (and disappointing) that Kenshin would be willing to follow Kogoro's directions to the letter (as part of his "duty") if he's not even sure what Kogoro's true intentions are (as he mentioned in an earlier chapter to Kaoru, after Megumi had stitched him up: Kenshin asked Kaoru why she doesn't understand that they are only players in this game) It seems to me that in order for someone to dedicate his entire life to an organization's ideal the way that Kenshin did, he should be absolutely confident in that organization's motives and plans, which Kenshin, as you had shown, is obviously not. Oh, and I repeat my earlier advice: Please do consider toning down the language and abuse in the sequel. It gets quite distasteful sometimes. - Review for this chapter: I really dislike the way Kenshin is so possessive and disrespectful to Kaoru. He is portrayed as such as a jackass here, as are almost all of the men in this fic. I don't think this is an accurate portrait of someone who truly treaures, cares about, and wants to protect someone he loves.
RoseTornado 2008-04-29 ch 17,	abuseYour fanfiction can be touching sometimes, especially with its portrayal of the characters' internal struggles and emotions. However, the loose use of profanity in this fic is rather offensive. I understand that in your fic, the characters had all been through a lot, and some of them, as you say, had lost their sanity in the process. But Kogoro's (and Kenshin's?) misguided senses of duty are just outright disturbing. As are their misguided beliefs in being able to build peace by, or despite, killing everyone dear to them. I suppose you had warned us of this in your disclaimer, when you said that you would be twisting the RK characters' personalities to create this story, but this -- is REALLY twisted. I must admit it is an interesting story, if you can stomach all the cruelty and the bloodshed, but it's almost a little too twisted for my taste. I think I will read to the end of this story to see how it ends, but I would advise softening the sequel a bit, if you do decide to write one.
