ferryboat George 2007-10-20 ch 1,	abuseIt was a sad ending, but as happy as death can be. I loved this meeting between Kenshin and Okita, I think Okita would have liked who Kenshin became.
Puku 2007-08-16 ch 1,	abuseThis was beautifully written and very well researched. Wonderful work, I really enjoyed reading it.

MarbleGlove 2006-09-13 ch 1,	abuseWell done. I really like this story and the way it shows the two characters' mutual respect along with thier acceptance of how the war is ending. Kenshin can finally fulfill his vow to no longer kill and is at peace with himself while still being slightly cold and certainly ruthless. And Okita is trying to come to terms with his own death while maintaining a light and humorous attitude, but it's taking an effort. The fact that you have accomplished both of these portrayals so beautifully without having to state either of them pointblank is a wonderful accomplishment. Thanks for posting.
Elena 2006-08-17 ch 1, anon.	abuseI loved it. It was very beautifully written. The narration was truly poignant and plaintive. They say that true geniuses often don't live long, and it's certainly true in the case of Okita, who was one of the greatest swordman during the Bakumatsu. Since many former Shisengumi captains met tragic ends in the battle or faced execution, it was perhaps fortunate that Okita died peacefully in his family's side. Your narration of Okita's end was indeed very fitting. I also loved your descriptions of Kenshin. It is sometimes difficult to remember that he's such an enigmatic introvert during the Bakumatsu (you know, since the Rurouni is so silly all the time). I truly enjoyed reading the conversation between Kenshin and Okita. Their conversation is the last duel between them, except for it's done with few words instead of two swords. Thank you for writing this.
KariKyrie 2006-08-16 ch 1,	abuseLoved the ending, sad and heart-rending as it was. I think the idea that once Okita needed help to get into bed would mark the day when he wouldn't get out of it was very well thought of. The rest flowed very well, and was wonderfully balanced; I liked the way you switched between Okita's POV to Kenshin's and then to no one's in particular when narrating the passage of time. I loved reading the dialogue between Okita and Kenshin, and the former's reactions to the moments when his former nemesis gave a helping hand. His observations were just what I had expected of him from the impression I had of his character. And the meeting with the guard (and the returning horse later on) was very nice as well, in a bittersweet sort of way. Good story, I enjoyed it very much!

beege 2006-04-30 ch 1,	abuseI can't believe I haven't reviewed this story before now, especially considering that it's been a favourite of mine literally for years. Okita is definitely under-represented in fiction (presumably because he died before the main series begins) but apart from being interesting in his own right he's also one of the more fascinating characters for Kenshin to interact with. Every time I re-read this story I appreciate the dialogue between two complex individuals and Okita's perspective on Kenshin, whose hidden depths he suspected despite only ever knowing him in his role as a hitokiri.
RK Otaku 2006-04-14 ch 1,	abuseA truly heart-wrenching story! I absolutely adored the way you staged Okita and Kenshins meeting. It reinforces just about anybody's opinion about the two captains.
charmed-sword 2006-02-18 ch 1,	abuseA beautiful story! Kenshin and Okita are wonderfully in character, and Kenshin's caring side really shows through, that he is able to help his former enemy...I loved it.
yasha girl 2005-10-19 ch 1, anon.	abusehi your fic is very good but if i think you should have ended the story with kaoru running after kenshin saying battousai
Arlaikeeno 2005-07-14 ch 1,	abuseAn absolutely lovely story and, as far as I can see, perfect.
