YAY UPDATES!! XDD

Wow, this chapter was shorter than the others...didn't see that coming.

LOL, I love your narrator. He/She is the very definition of awesomeness. DON'T TAKE NO SHIT FROM NOBODY!! >:D

I think its going to be more 'whatever fits the moment' than me shooting for short chapters or longer ones. We'll see as I write--but so long as the short chapter didn't take away from the story itself, I am good for it! and I am certainly glad you read and enjoyed it.

I am glad you like him/her--I enjoy them a lot and I just hope they come off as nonchalant and snarky as I see them as. Clearly they do! So thank you for that compliment, it makes me ecstatic.

Poor Kai. So worried for Ruki and I can understand that. I am so glad Ruki is awake and not killed by Rei-Rei. I am finding Uruha a little annoying. I think his over awareness of societal expectations just really grates on me. I am intrigued by this poisons recipients. I am glad you are updating so quickly. *Pats head* good girl. =p

Fantastic icon...I was like...o.O!

[stoic_harlequin]

Calling him 'Rei-Rei' makes him seem less capable of murder, doesn't it? Or perhaps makes him more pink-faced and ready to strike? Ah! Either way, I think its entertaining.

I will say that a lot of Uruha's characterization is one dimensional at the moment--mostly because there is no other use for him. Yet--and I will say that its going to get worse before it gets better (if it does). But! I hope it is a good sort of annoying--the sort that irritates you but makes you want to read more to see how ridiculous they will be. Hopefully. >_<

Thanks so very much for reading--I take 'good girl' as a compliment. ^_^

As well, you should, 'cause it's how it was meant. Yeah, that's exactly the kind of annoying... Oh, and I know! I love it as well, it's hard to choose between the two, because Saga is so awesome, ya know?

Re: Fantastic icon...I was like...o.O!

[stoic_harlequin]

Then its lucky that both are in them, huh?! I will admit...it was odd to see anything but "you're crazy!" But I love it indeed.

Again, I'm distracted xD

This story is getting so tangled and twisted.. and I love it!
I keep going back and saying, "what..wait?" Haha it's funny. And the 'suspect' keeps just messing with me. I could never be an interrogator. I feel bad for those two.

But the way you describe the poison: “Because of the poison that Aoi laced his glass with. It wasn’t meant to kill people per se... It might not have been designed to kill people, but it certainly could kill them. For whatever reason, Ruki was resistant to it. It could have been fate or some people think it’s because he was something else too, there’s as much mystery to that as there is to Reita’s noseband." It is very enticing and mysterious. What was it designed to kill instead? Why is Ruki immune? Such questions..

NOW.. I am off to my notepad. Gosh.. you and your addictive chapters.

Hehe hurry with the next one I'm anxious to see what happens next! Well ok, take your time and make it extra good :)

I'll be waiting... -evil smile-

[stoic_harlequin]

That is exactly what I hoped for! For you to stop and go "but...this happened...and the narrator said this...now they are saying this...what?!". But only if it keeps you hooked and guessing. If it becomes cumbersome, that is just a problem. So this comment makes me very, very happy.

Such questions indeed--ones that I am certain will be answered. Be careful to keep your notepad handy, because I am sure you'll need it more and more. Addictive...I like it! That is a great, great compliment!

I will hurry, as best as I can--and hopefully with the same quality. Or else its a waste of my time, right? And yours too. But I think I will manage it well..

Thank you very much for reading--and continuing to leave such spectacular comments. They really do make me smile big.

Sorry, I skipped the commentin-part in the previous chapter xD but I knew there was the fourth chapter so... xD
Weeeell~ Seems like it's still very interesting 8D the way everything is explained bit by bit... and I can't help but wonder who the narrator is =P (I have no idea why, but his character makes me think of Miyavi xD)
Anyway~ :) I'm waiting for the fifth chapter now \o/ <3 everything will explain itself the further we get into the story~

[stoic_harlequin]

Don't be sorry--I am just glad you can to read at all. and that you commented! Both mean a great deal to me.

Miyavi...hmm. That is interesting. I'm not going to answer one way or another, though I agree in the similarity. I see it. Which is good! At least I can see where you are coming from. You will find out who the narrator is in due time.

The week proves to be harder for me to update regularly--but chapter five is coming together nicely. I hope it'll be up soon--and I do hope you'll be interested in reading it too.

Thank you so much, I appreciate everything you say!
