I don't know how Mariko would react to that piece of info, but turning to Sensei's path wouldn't be like it - spitting in his face seems like one of the more harmless alternatives.

Oh man, this was incredible.

I know I haven't really reviewed previous chapters formally...

I will say this, though... I'm wondering how Mariko will respond to this, if she does get delivered to Sensei and Sensei DOES tell her. Kim hasn't told her all this time.

And when you had Kim realize Justy had never 'heard' her, you had me scroll back to re-read to see if you had really accomplished that... and you had. Wow.

Also, congratulations on the son!

Wow long time no hear from, and you come back with such awesomeness a new kick ass chapter! Kidding, congrats on the baby of course always glad to hear when some happiness drops into someone's life. Just goes to show that life isn't all storm clouds and suck. As for the new chapter frickin awesome job buddy a lot of questions answered yet so many more raised. Really looking forward to seeing how this little turn of events plays out. Especially with sensei's in candy gobbling crazy mode. And kind of getting some of Kim's visions now...not completely but kinda. Lookin forward to the next chapter and congrats again on the new addition give him a tummy raz from bigherb!

I was soooo excited to see that you updated! And now I have some questions and comments...
(In no particular order)
* If snow flakes can't occupy the space Kim creates, why can't she move them? Intention towards something not alive?
* Now we see a glimpse of Sensei's ultimate plan. But I believe once he explains all this to Mariko, I think her reaction will be one that completely surprises him.
* So Kim can touch and manipulate Justy physically. And he can touch her. Something tells me part of the rules of her existence is a combination of Family, and Love. (Too bad he can't see her or hear her though)
* So Sensei only sees Honor in those that Honor him? Seems like I've heard of THAT before. (and it's not a good thing)
* Hirotaka keeps saying "It is impossible". He has no idea how close he is to the answer of why. ("That's Kim Possible. But it's a common mistake.")
* Sensei has a 'Clapper'? Western ingenuity at it's finest, I guess.
* So Sensei's "Honor Path" is not that Honorable. This means his own Honor is way whacked.
* and finally... You keep getting so close to explaining everything concerning why Kim is the way she is (sans the fact that she's dead)... and then you cruelly pull it away. This little fact vexes me so...

Again, an expertly crafted chapter/story, and I cannot wait for the next chapter! (Just don't take a year again. K?)

Pretty bleak end to this chapter.

Honor, formed by centuries of what Sensei and Hirotaka proscribe may be beyond even the dark history of the ninja.

And I wonder just what will come of it all when Ron learns of this night's results in Middleton.

The new connection Kim has with Justy may be interesting for Ron and Bonnie, and others, to comprehend. If it can be explained.

But now comes discovery.

Welcome back and congratulations on the little Molloy! Same to the Mrs. also.

Wow, that was kinda trippy seeing Sensei as an old guy binging on chocolate and scheming to get back a girl he himself attacked. I'm guessing this will not end well for most involved, though how it comes to be is a mystery at this point. Very intense right now. Really got me reading until the end. Until next time.

CONGRATULATIONS! I completely understand.

Great job with Kim and Justy, really like the way that we are reminded of how he first realized her presence all those years ago. And Sensei's plans leave me cold, just as it should. The continuing development of Kim piques my eagerness for the coming chapters, as things appear to be reaching their conclusion.

cant wait for the next chapter

I'll try not to gush, but I really like this story a lot. There's a lot of beautiful moments in it. Like the rain scene where Kim tries to tell Ron he isn't alone, or the "Goodbye, Ron." scene. The premise itself is really inspiring, despite the constant pain Kim must be going through, she takes care of Ron's family. She never gives up and I think that holds true to the character.

And then there's the tragedy that one day they will outgrow her. Ron is old enough now to be Kim's father. And as much as we want to see those two re-unite, they can't. I'm guessing that once Kim has served her purpose in protecting the family, she'll vanish away. I just hope that she gets to speak to Ron and her family again before that happens through Mariko. I hope she's still alive...this is how Kim died and you used a similar wording that MrDrP used in his fic...

Another thing I want to note is the characters hold true to themselves. Although they're different, you can see them growing to this point. I do love how you kept Ron's sense of humor. Fics like these usually dispose of that, taking away his essential Ronness.

But keep on writing. The time you put into these chapters really shows with the description and imagery that's never faltered, but remained consistent the whole ride. And thanks for the reading, it helped me get through a lot when I went through it the past two days.

I'll leave a more complete review when I'm done...but this story's amazing...

I love the device where you jumped from memory to storytelling, it created this timelessness that I feel captures the position Kim's in. I also love it when you take tense moments and eliminate the action, just the dialog. I mean, it shows that Kim isn't there, but that distance really helps us understand her.

This is a beautiful story.

Nuttin' to say here... nope. For if I did I probably call you a few names for that cliffie you just gave us. And here I thought *I* was evil with those things...

Oh, I will say that this is STILL a great story, and look forward to the next chap...

you're so evil - leaving us with such a cliffhanger here ...

Holy crap! I mean holy friggin' crap! That was insanulous! Wow definitely worth the wait, so much going on in this chapter. Awesome job on it too, really can't wait to see what you got planned next. Awesome

Pacing, plotting, narrative force. It's all present in this vertiginous chapter. And while for the reader everything is spinning out of control, it's clear that's not the case for the author, who is ably advancing the story. Frankly, my only complaint (beyond the Bonnie situation), is that you're writing fan fiction and not something original. You, sir, are a writer.

Hell of a fight seen, sorry for Justy.

Hope he pulls through.

I was surprised it wasn't revealed what Mariko revealed to Ann and her reaction to the secret.

Once again, you have me on the end of my chair and now I have to wait for the next chapter.

As always, fantastic story and can't wait for more.

Thanks
