Oh man, sometimes a fic is so beautiful it hurts. And this hurts in all the right ways. You've got a hell of a beginning going here, I'm like sucked in and dying ot know what happens next!! *sighs lustily* Bakumatsu AUs are my weakness, you've totally made my night!!!

[syolen]

Wow that was FAST!

D'awwww thank you (please excuse me while I grin like mad reading your comment. Ahem. THANK YOOOUUU)!

Well you wrote one HELL of an AU (which may or may not have inspired this one ;)) yourself, so I'll do my best not to disapppoint!

... Speaking of which, is Angstquel!Kenshin finally behaving?

Thank you again! :D

Reading this, I'm am going to have a difficult time restraining myself from SQUEEING like a crazed fangurl come Friday.

Yes, yes, there's like 503864830 of those Bakumatsu AU fics, but it's KK! Okay, BK, but STILL! :D

[syolen]

Hehe, thank you!

I'm not sure what I'll do with this (right now it's more of a collection of drabbles), but Kaoru helping Kenshin get through the war because she's just that strong? I hope I can get that across.

Saw it.

...

MY EYES. THEY HAVE SEEN THE GLORY. *_*

AAAAAAAAH IS IT THE TWELVE BILLION SHADES OF BRILLIANT IT SEEMS TO BE? WERE OTOMO AND SATO THERE? TELL MEEEE!

GOSH IF IT'S SUCCESSFUL ENOUGH IN LA (AND IT WILL BE, HOW COULD IT NOT BE) WE MAY GET A FULL NORTH AMERICAN RELEASE. OH, THE POSSIBILITIES.

(please excuse the capslock, I'm exciteeeeeeed)

there may be that many bakematsu AUs but there are a rare few that give the characters justice and rarer few that are complete.

i love her... your portrayal of her. the playful glint in her eye and her fearless attitude. i love how her personality bounces off of his. the little thoughts he has of her are like the manga depiction of his little thoughts in remembrance arc. this is a girl who's not going to be afraid to playfully pounce and clobber the feared hitokiri battousai even after she finds out who he is... to his eternal consternation and secret pleasure.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

Thank you! :D

I'm glad you liked Kaoru in this! I really wanted to get across that she is very strong in her own right and NOT a damsel in distress. I'm not sure what I'll do with this (right now it's more of a collection of drabbles than anything else), but showing a strong Kaoru is definitely a priority!

"to his eternal consternation and secret pleasure." Oh my, you should copyright this. SO true! XD

Thanks again! :D

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1035027/forthright in the inuyasha fandom is really good at writing the shortest chapters while telling a story. although she mostly writes sess/kag (a pairing i despise) she's written a few i/k or even a platonic sess/miroku (hilarious) that are really great so YOU CAN DO IT TOO! you can write a rk story in short drabbles even seemingly disconnected ones. \o/ BANZAI! \o/

Man, I should read Inuyasha again... I started reading it and stopped when it felt a little too repetitive, but maybe I just didn't read far enough? I should give it another try...

*TIES BANDANA AROUND FOREHEAD* I SHALL DO MY BEST, MA'AM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENTS, MA'AM. :D

[mildlyconfused]

Duuuuuuude. I'll have you know this is the first Kaoru in the bakumatsu AU I read. That's how much I trust you. :)

[syolen]

*bluuuuuuuushes* Oh my... OO Thank you so much! I'll do my best not to disappoint! :D

[redswordheart]

You have a very sweet beginning, but it is a beginning. Hope you'll write more.`

[syolen]

Hehe, I do have a couple of ideas (this will probably become a collection of tied oneshots though).
Thank you for your comment! :D
