Lol, I'm kind of amused at the fact that once Kenshin's dead, this chapter contains NO canon characters, just OCs. XD (Well, except Lina at the end.) You do OCs really well, though, which I appreciate.

Nikko's pretty impressive for being able to stomp out there while still in labor...

...Oh, poor Murobi. D:

"But where can we find a femmy redheaded man with enough hair?" Lol, I love how Futashi acts like he doesn't really care that Kenshin's dead, it's more like, "Crap, we blew it, now we gotta cover our butts before we get in trouble." XD

Well, okay, you know what? This is fine. It's funny, and it ends things, so...thanks for posting it. Just take off all the "I'm so sorry, I promise I'll update eventually!" author's notes and present it as the real ending instead of a placeholder.

(Even if you do ever miraculously update with the real chapter 20, don't delete the spoof, it's great! Leave it as an omake at the end or something.)

Man, Kenshin wearing a woman's kimono and wielding an umbrella in a Final Battle is just epic.

I cannot BELIEVE you ended the fic there. Geez, at least post the stuff you already had written and then slap a lame "And they lived happily ever after" bit to the end! Seriously, a cliffhanger like that for eight years and counting?

"With all of the time and effort I've put into it, I'm NOT going to pull something out of my butt just for the sake of an update. I deserve better, and YOU deserve better." Even so, a lot of us don't care, even the lamest ending in the world is AT LEAST A CONCLUSION.

I don't think I'd be upset if this fic had been abandoned halfway through, but...IT'S ALMOST DONE. Come on now.

I know nothing about combat and am terrible at writing fight scenes, but from that background, I thought yours was pretty good.

"That was three hours ago. He'd spent the rest of his time wandering aimlessly through the streets, realizing with some dismay (and a lot of embarrassment) that he'd gotten himself lost again." XD Oh, Kenshin.

Lol, I definitely saw it coming, but it's still cool.

Lol, "choosing to ignore that part of him that was almost disappointed that he was denied laundry duty. He'd have to do some deep soul-searching to figure that one out."

Man, usually I don't like crossdressing, but...Himura Kenshin is adorable in drag. *sweatdrop*

"...Fem-Lackey there was still in the kimono, wasn't he?" Ooooh, this is gonna be good.

"When the two rurounis burst into the brothel, their first instincts told them to follow the noise of whatever the loudest ruckus might be. A few doors, several dozen apologies, and some blunt reminders of what the establishment's business was later, they decided to stop and ask for directions." Lol...!

Heeee, Kenshin's cluelessness about water-breakage is SO CUTE.

ROTFL! I love this chapter especially! Teehee. Cruel Himura-san! That was cruel! xD

This story must be in my top ten favorite stories. I love to death. I like how Kenshin is slowly turning into the Kenshin we know and love... I know it's very unlikely you will every come back put last couple of chapters up but I can think of couple of people who would love you to.

Well, I'm pretty sure you're not going to be updating after what...7 years, but I was dying of laughter most of this story, and I quite enjoyed it. :) Thanks for keeping it clean. :D

Wow, this is one of the best Rurouni Kenshin fics I've EVER read. I'm really sad it hasn't been updated in so long, but I'm really glad you wrote what you did. You have a great writing style and even your action scenes are easy to read through (I usually just skip to the part where someone wins). Great job overall!

...Actually, I had a bad experience with "oro" once.

Just go to freedict(dot)com(slash)onldict(slash)jap(dot)html and look it up. Case in point.

Pure evil... Sending the poor little man-slayer to fight the evil man wearing a long dress and having no sword...

Haha, "That's my right de gozaru. It's your left."

And, "Your welcome. ...Do I know what a newsflash is?"

Heh, I don't blame Kenshin for wanting to respond with a two-by-four. :p

Oh man, I love that, "I knew it! He took advantage of this and made me look bad and... and... And what did he just say?" Finally learned how to speak these kids' language. :)

"He never knew women could be so frightening." I guess this is good practice for Kaoru, eh?

Lol, "I guess they finally killed him."

"Sore wa himitsu de gozaru!" Oh Xelloss, did you know what a treasure you would be bestowing on so many fandoms outside your own...? :) Looks like Kenshin's really starting to get into the rurouni act.

"You sewed the sleeve shut." HAHAHA!

LOL, "An assassin didn't need to learn how to replace the rice paper doors he kicked down; that would completely ruin the Dramatic Entry effect."

Oh, poor Kenshin; the whole rain barrel bit was hilarious.

Yep, Excel Saga'll do it. :)

Again, please send me the fanart URLs! Especially since GeoCities is shutting down their free sites soon.

Lol, "I wonder if I'll ever be able to get my eyes to swirl like that..." Practice, young padawan.

"and realized quite suddenly that 19 was a very young an age have the reputation of a deadly assassin." Poor Ken-chan.

"...We don't have to practice being fools, Himura. We've always been them." Good line.

Though Kenshin's always been good with kids; he had a whole flock of them coming over to his house every day to play with him when he was still living with Tomoe.

I'm a KK to KT convert (anime!Kaoru and often fandom!Kaoru really annoy me, though she's okay in the manga). I just love Tomoe, so I liked the mushy bits.
