"ICOE" Chapter Fifteen Review Replies
All my gratitude, guys! Thanks again.
Almandine-Azaleea: Oh, thank you so much! Yes, the beginning was very fluffy. I REALLY enjoyed writing that scene. Hee. I tried to lead up to the Sakura/Seto scene as best I could, and overall I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Poor Anzu, though! Heh. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, and I really appreciate your comments. Thanks again!
vhsgooey: Ha ha - thanks for the review. Yeah, maybe he should have fired her, but... Well, as I've tried to hint, he's pretty sick - not thinking straight, you understand. Heh. Yeah... You better review the next chapter, too! Just kidding - I know you will Thanks again!
DeepCerulean: Oh, thanks! I'm really glad you thought it was excellent. That always boosts a writer's ego. I'm sorry I couldn't update sooner - I'm bad about procrasinating. I really hope you enjoy chapter sixteen, too. Thanks again!
the-hinotori: Wow, thanks! That's always awesome to hear. Heh. I remember reading about Rose in one of your fics - and that's a real compliment that you like Sakura! Thanks. Heh. I have something planned for her, don't worry - though first she has one more little part to play. But after that... Well, let's just say that Anzu won't be holding any grudges after the revenge she gets. Thanks again!
xXSexiItxX: Ooh, thanks so much! Yeah, I know that it was obvious that things were heading towards a Sakura-Seto sort of scene, but I'm gald you enjoyed it all the same. Sakura has just one little part left to play, and then she'll get what's coming to her. Thanks so much - your review was really gratifying! Finally finished chapter sixteen - so the update's FINALLY here. Thanks again!
kittydemon18: Thanks for the review - yes, Seto didn't fire Sakura immediately because not only is he exhausted, he's also worked himself to the point of illness. That'll come around again in chapter seventeen. I finally finished 16, so at long last it's up. *laughs* If you really want to, I give you full permission to tear out her hair - I had no idea she'd be the "love to hate" kind of character. Thanks again!
dragoneyes5000: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Yes, I feel bad for Anzu, too - and I did it to her! Hopefully things'll go her way again soon.
Jess Ishtar: Thanks for taking the time to review. At long last, chapter sixteen is finished and posted!
LuvinAniManga: Thanks for the review! Okay, okay... You caught me. *wilts* I'm a naughty author, I know. Heh. But I did try, and finally, finally I finished. So chapter sixteen is up - and it hasn't been an obscenely long time to wait. I'm really glad you liked my little "twist", as you say. Hee. I do try. Actually, I did try to lead up to it so it wouldn't be too surprising - have to keep things feasible and surprising at the same time! Well, thanks again! Chapter sixteen is finally up!
drkmagiciangrl25: Thanks for the review! Yes, I feel bad for Anzu, too - I didn't even like making her that upset and I'm the silly who wrote it! Seto, under normal circumstances, would have been VERY tempted to fire her - but he's exhausted and very ill, so he's not thinking straight. That'll all come around again, though, and not only will Seto and Anzu patch things up, Sakura'll get what's coming to her, too. Chapter 16 is finally up, so... Hee. Thanks again!
tangozgirlscout: Oh - wow, that was such a wonderful review! Really made me happy! Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked the little bit with Sakura - she's so conniving; wanted Seto since she met him. I've got a few more plans for her, so she won't disappear just yet. Chaper sixteen is up - finally - so I really hope you enjoy that one, too. Thanks again!
Rangerette: Thanks for the review! Ooh, I'm glad you like it. Always gratifying to hear. Heh. Chapter sixteen is up, too, finally. Thanks again!
suupan: Oh, thank you so much! I really appreciate the review. That's so good to hear - and it means a lot that you took the time to review, too. *beam* Heh. Yes, Seto did make a bit of a mistake - and he certainly will be paying for it. On the upside, at least he had exhaustion and illness to take away some of the blame. Heh. Hopefully chapter sixteen will be as good. Thanks again!
Thanks for all the great reviews! Til... next time.
