Wow! I loved the tender, calculating Aya who could chuckle; Ken's response to same; and the careful mission planning. Poor Honey! You had me on the edge of my seat as Ken entered and explored, and like Aya wanted to scream to Ken not to try opening that next door. What a wonderful mix of emotions, drama, tense plotting, and character development. Please, please return soon and let us know what happens next. If Aya left to himself to rescue the others (and please let Ken be able to recover), I can't imagine how he will cope (yes, if anyone can, he can, but with his ongoing trauma . . . .) And whatever is happening to Yoji and Omi?! Thank you for this chapter, more soon please.

Oh wow, this fic is incredible. Outstanding work, I especially love the anti-cliche plot...every time I'm certain I know where you're headed, you knock me on my ass. Smashing language, too, you've captured an excellent balance of beautiful, but not overly complicated descriptions. Dialogue is also superbly realistic; Yohji in particular just kept striking a chord with me for being perfectly IC by what he says and how he manages to manipulate those around him. I also loved the direction you took with Aya's isolation causing him to grasp at any form of contact, which he found in the book. And that you didn't use the similarity of appearance between Kenshin and Aya as the driving factor for his brainwashing...*falls over dead*. Out-freaking-standing that you neglected the obvious thought with that and manipulated the situation to make it more believable still. Excellent characterizations, I look forward to more from you!

Wow, I am so glad I ran across this story, it's just incredible! I started reading this late yesterday and it took me several hours to get through all the chapters you have, then a few hours sleep so that I could leave you a coherent and semi intelligent review. I'm not normally the type to pick up on plot twists and innuendos and all that, but I did pick up on one thing and I'm curious to know if anyone else did... How much of a sensualistic person Ken is. Or if anyone realized just how much he responds to touch... To tell the truth I noticed because I'm the same way. And if I'm reading this correctly, because Yohji has seen how Ken responds to touch he's now seeing the resident klutz in a whole new light, just like Ken is noticing Yohji. Yet also it seems that they are all responding to Ken at all different levels, it's almost unreal! This response poor Ken can't quite understand, so it's keeping him so off balance! So when is Yohji going to make his move? He's the only one left to not kiss Ken into a boneless puddle of desire and lust. He's gotta be wondering what it's like, after seeing what that does to Ken. Well, he can't do anything about that at the moment, considering he's being held hostage with Omi. Yes, I do believe that's what's happening right now. But something still isn't sitting right with me. Kritiker backing out, just as Ken made Honey make that call? Manx saying they're on their own... one of the offices hit by the thugs? It doesn't make sense! Those offic | Reviewed By: Nitelyfe [MediaMiner Member] On: February 16, 2005 17:07 CST

Wow, when I first glanced at this fic's summary so many months ago, I was initially turned off thinking that it was going to follow the usual trite and over done plot lines that were full of holes and barely coherent. Now that you've updated again, I took another look and was thrillingly suprised to find a more unconventional approach to the series. I LOVE this story and I'm dying for more. You've obviously given a great deal of thought into building the plot and into the character development and the result is fantastic! Just when I thought I'd never come across another serious work in this series, I'm absolutely delighted by this one. Especially how you've treated Kritiker as something less than some mysteriously omnipotent force, the more realistic treatment of what would go into a mission, not just a quick and easy 'oh they beat up some bad guys and saved the day'. Wonderful, wonderful job. Keep it up! I can't wait for more!

Hurray, you returned, and what a return! Very powerful, and beautifully written. I hope you can return quickly with more -- with this much needed cathartic release, and character insight, there remains the question of what is happening to Yohji and Omi, and will Aya and Ken be successful in their rescue attempt.

Wonderful story: lots of twists and turns to keep us guessing, but not so many that they distract from the flow of the story. Great insight and development of the characters. I am very anxious for more, please come back soon.

I'm still hooked. I get so excited seeing an update. I just can't wait to see what else you can think up that seems to defy common fanfic plot tactics. Its an interesting view through Ken's head. Bravo!

Extremely interesting! Can't wait to see what happens. Very well written too. All the characters are pretty nicely defined. Aya's interaction with Benson was convincingly creepy. I hated Benson on sight. Really liked the teammates' reactions to that also. The scene with the chips felt very natural, in particular Omi's embarrassment and comments.

I really like this. I think the idea has a lot of great possibilities and I'm really interested to see where you take it. The characterisation was good and I like the way you're examining the 'dark side' of Kritiker.

Having read a lot of fanfics along this line, I have to say this one was the first that was enjoyable enough to actually leave a review (I am an artist and not a writer so my critique would never mean as much as that of another writer). Although I really like the writing style and found the characterizations believable and emphathetic. I can't wait till whatever comes next.
