Sorry I haven't reviewed in a while. Besides being a writer, I'm also a full-time student, so I haven't had much free time lately. Anyway I just finished ch 39. As expected, I've enjoyed nearly everything I've read and I'm glad you've cut back on the modernism. The only problem I've found is that the charactersfrom RuroKen seem to be actively seeking out parallels/counterparts between themselves and LotR characters. This is an unnatural thing for them to do. By the way, I realize that you wrote this quite a while ago and you probably have no intention of revising it further. But I'm still going to continue reviewing, if only for my own satisfaction. Good luck in your writings and may your ideas flow like diarrhea.

I love LotR and I'm completely obsessed with RK, so I'm enjoying this fic immensely and you'd have to work really hard to disappoint me. However, speaking as a fellow writer (I happen to be a published, professional author) I should warn you. You must immerse yourself in the fictional mythos about which you are writing (both Middle Earth and Meiji Japan) this means, among other things, modern linguistic colloquialisms are unacceptable: e.g. - "'I totally spaced out' Kenshin said" Avoid these at all cost, they detract from the story and lend an amateurish lilt to your voice.

Read "The Journey Ends" and I thought it was good. I knew from the moment you first told how strangely attracted Kaoru was to the ring that she would probably want the ring for herself during the Gollum/Frodo struggle in Mt. Doom. I can't believe only 3 chapters before Lord of the Rings goes "The End" again. *Cries really loud* Will the Japan be able to see the croiwning of Aragorn because to make the scene so so powerful and emotional, everyone should see it! Are some of the couples (Kension/Karou and Aoishi/Misao) gonna actually explain their feelings to one anothr? And what about the Elf twins in japan? I'm sorry to ask questions but I JUST GOTTA KNOW!!! Your story should be like a featured Fan Fic!Anyway, read my stories! Bye

I am still reading this! I love it! I can't believe how close this story is coming to an end, it makes me want to cry. When I look at it, it makes me think how small this story seems: They meet eachother in the first movie, they continue seperate jounies in the second, then it all ends in the third.... I wish they did more. Kinda how I feel when it comes to video games or other movies. I'll be sad when this fic ends. Please keep writing. please also read some of my stories too, especilly memories of the Black battousai which I am currently working on right now with my friend Kokuryu (Check out some of his stories too). Anyway, peace out!

| Title: Why do I feel you're being too... impatient and unenthusiastic, Knight Lancer

Knight Lancer, I sort of get the feeling you're getting too impatient. Sure Hiko is strong, and he can take on the Orcs. But you know, that can be the most exciting thing ever conceived, and can be very worth while, period! And that's the reason why many of my reviewers like it so much. In short, you're being too judgemental about this, sir. Having strong people take down the a whole squad of the enemy does not make it a flaw, nor is it boring. Sometimes, we have to learn to think things through before passing judgements, and you really should do the same.

Frankly, you might as well just have Hiko take on the entire army of Mordor alone, because at the rate he's going, he'll kill them all. Now this, is why having ridiculously overpowered characters is boring. Because you KNOW that they'll basically never be defeated. Thus, it's boring to read. What's exciting when a company of Orcs charge a character, when he/she takes them down with the utmost ease? Nothing! It's like turning on an invincibility cheat in a game. Sure it's fun for...the first 2 minutes or so. But after a while, there's no more excitement, because you CAN'T lose. And that's the biggest flaw of this story. The LotR manages to be readable because the characters weren't god-like. Though they were mighty, they could be felled. But the RK characters are omnipotent.

I'm glad that we have an understanding. I really liked the Sam and Yahiko vs. Shelob sequence. I was wondering how it would turn out. It was great! I thought the part with Aoshi and the four guys was sweet, especially part where Beshimi tells Aoshi he'll never be alone. I have the new HP book (along with a free pair of plastic HP glasses) , but my brother's hogging it. ^_^;

Man i just found you story and i loved it (even though it took hrs to read) I think for the battle at the black gate you should use Shishio instead of the guy from the book(the mouth of sauron or somethin like that) that way u can give kenshin a 1v1 oponent and that way the lotr ppl can see him fight a true fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good story, although at times it seems the RK characters merely echo the lines of the LotR characters. Also, even though they are more or less godlike in skill and strength, perhaps the RK characters are a bit...overpowered? I mean, the Elves are perhaps the swiftest, wisest, and most cunning warriors there can be. Yet, they are basically made obsolete by Aoshi...a man. It's like they're basically omnipotent when compared to the rest of the cast. It just makes it kinda boring, considering they're practically invincible to anything the Enemy throws at them. Anyway, it's a good story, it's just that, at times, the LotR characters seriously pale in comparison to the RK characters. "And King Elessar went down the southern road, on his head was a silver crown which shone with white flame, and in his hand was a green stone which burned like an emerald blaze." -Knight Lancer

You don't have to apoligize on my account. I just wanted to make small suggestions, that's all. I didn't want to sound like I was complaining.... Eh, sorry.

I've been reading for a long time, but I've never reviewed... Congradulations on your job and your successful fanfiction. I love everything about it. I'm a major AoshixMisao fan, so I really like the scene where Misao is saying goodbye to Aoshi when he, Gandalf, and Pippin are going to Gondor. One thing I was honestly disapointed with though, is when Aragon, Kenshin and the other people arrive at Isengard (sp?). The chapter before, I had been imagining what the scene might be like. I had imagined Misao running toward Aoshi and they hug and other fluff. That's just me though... I hope I didn't offend you. I'm actually interested if Aoshi and Misao's pairing will go anywar farther in this story... I also intrested if anything is going to happen beetween Aoshi and Denethor(sp?), since they hate each other so much. One thing that I would like to tell you that I've notice is the RuroKen's cast's odd need to explain EVERYTHING. For instance, when Aoshi is talking to Den.... Faramir's dad, he says that is from the Oniwabanshuu. Which is comepletely irrelevent, because Faramir's dad has absolutely no idea what the Oniwabanshuu is. I mean, Aoshi's a smart person (a lot smarter than Sano tends to be, at least, if RuroKen had lasted longer and there were more storylines I bet they would've argued A LOT. Even in the show they insult each other. Aoshi easily beat Sanosuke once, I don't think he's very appreciative of that). He should realize who he's talking to.Bye for now
