This chapter hit so close to home for me. I'd pick Genkai and Yukina over ningen hospitals any day but, unfortunately, Kurama did not have much of a choice. I liked your point of view on King Enma hating Kurama and Hiei - it does make sense after all, they did steal the artifcacts...but the tubes and IV's and the respirator...gyahhhh....

Hey, if it makes me uncomfortable, if it makes me wince, that means it's well done. You're just making us all look bad now, with the crazy updates and the goodness.

The entire fight scene was wonderful - I was wondering how you were going to explain Hiei not using the DOTDF, and you did so very well - he does need alot of mental control and stamina to use it - both of which he did not have at that time. I loved Kurama's re-entry into his human body - the non-usgae, the pain, the disorientation was all beautifully written.

I'm so driving down to celebrate with you when it's all finished!

awww.. sad... and sweet.. all at once! i *love* it! ^^ beautiful, as usual. the poor things...


Ra

wow I just loved the line "Move, or you’ll be lucky you’re in the hospital already.” That was fucking cool That was perfect of Hiei
keep up the good job

I must say that it's good to be back. That last chapter was amazing. Everything flowed perfectly. You didn't take the easy way out and rely on a deus ex machina to fix everything. Enma's interference wasn't expected and I've rarely ever seen someone pull from that segment of the canon for their fanfiction before, but it made perfect sense and added another tragic layer to the whole incident. I don't think that everything leading up to this point would have had as much of an impact if Hiei had rescued Kurama, they were all taken back to spirit world, healed, and then lived happily ever after. I commend you for putting so much of yourself into this story. It's truly a magnificent piece of work. Thank you for sharing this and allowing all of us to experience the events of this story so superbly.

That was a wonderful chapter. I liked the way you put the fact that Enma hates demons. That's the exact impression that I got from those last episodes of the sensui saga. It's a little funny because I voiced my thoughts on the issue to thoth-moon. She didn't really agree with me. But I did say that Reikai hated demons, but Koenma and Botan are from Reikai and seem to not care about the fact that their friends are demons. Maybe she misunderstood me. Oh well, at least I know that I'm not alone in thinking that Enma hates demons. You know, that might make an interesting fanfiction story. Sorry about saying all this in a review, I know that you don't like it. Please update soon!

PS- I think after all this angst I have gone numb. Some future fluff would be nice. ^_^

I'm left completely speechless. I started reading this story a long time ago and gave it up because I remember thinking it was too sappy (some OC), or something. Then I ran across "Bugs" and couldn't get enough of it. When I finally realized that you had actually written this one as a prequel to "Bugs" I couldn't not return here. And now that I am here, I am completely floored by what I had almost forgotten. I was and still am incredibly moved by this story as it is written so far. The precision everything was given was amazing. How did you know all that was necessary for the terribly but wonderfully vivid torture scenes? I can absolutely not wait until your next update.

this story.....is so amazing.....you're an awesome writer, i'm so impressed. i love the direction that you've taken with the hiei/kurama pairing, and i think that this makes them ten times cuter ^^. great job, i can't wait for the next chapter!!!!!

Too much...too much to review, I think my head is going to pop. OK. I think I know exactly where you cried, beacuse I'm thinking "Don't leave Hiei alone with Kurama's body! What, are you guys stupid!" and then Hiei runs himself through and I'm like "See! I told you!". I loved that whole scene where they held him down and Shiori pulled the sword out of Hiei, I had to read that twice. See - you say my fox torture is more personal, but your portrayal of Hiei and Kurama's realtionship is far more personal, far more emotional, it hits deeper, it's more real.

The other thing that really struck me is when Hiei pulled the sheet off Kurama's body to show Koenma exactly what happened. It made me cringe. I woke up this morning and I still had that image in my mind. Very effective.

I also love Hiei's realtionship with Shiori. That's something that doesn't come off right unless it's well-written and approached very carefully, and you did both so well. He does need a mom too, and it's so cute yet heart-wrenching to see him in his interactions with her, especially in this chapter.

*bows to the Queen of Fox Torture* You've been killing us with all these posts - get some sleep!

Would it be said too much that I want to see Koenma for a day in intaros grasp?
I really think he should live through that for one day only to see what he have done in real to Kurama and the others too. I was never a fan of torture or something along that line in any fik I know and read, I am just a stupid person who believes in the good of the world. I like the stile you write very much, it kept me reading until now and besides that I would really like to see how this plays out in the end. I believe you when you said you cried by writing this; I would have also and have by one of mine too. In Kuramas place I would kill the prince, that’s for sure!
But that’s only my silly me. I could say now; How could he or why did he not do something different but in real he had only done what he thought it would be the best. Koenma failed immensely in the task, to be faithful to his friends and himself.
Poor Koenma, I really sure he has not realised it fully what he did to Kurama and his other friends with that act of him!
If I am would be them, well lets just say I would never, ever, trust him again!

That was..ONE OF THE BEST CHAPTERS I HAVE EVER SEEN! It was sad and cruel,but I loved it! It was one ,of the greatest chapters you have ever writtwn! I love your writing! I will be patiently waiting for the next update. Update Soon!
Sincerely Mea ^_^
PS- I didn't cry. I think I have gotten so used to seeing Kurama torture that I am numb to it. But I still loved this chapter! Again, Update Soon!
PPS- Sorry for the long PS.
