wha...?! I like this story, too! *sweatdrops* I like the way you write, mintness... but then again maybe i should stick to one of your fics first and finish that? ehehe... ^^;

Mintness, you have one drama-filled chapter here (sniff!) I'm still doubtful about Misaki and Aria though...if they're JUST tenant/landlord...poor Sekira...

Misaki and Taiiko are sibs, huh? Wonder how Sekira figured that out...*I* surely didn't...^o^ Nice work on the symbolisms here...dandelion rings...very sweet...^o^ And no, I don't hate Misaki just because he's torn...I kind of pity him, and Sekira, though...

~Aki~

Ara..? Taiiko is gay? O.o;; Ah, well...Seikra/Misaki, then! (neh, I'm fast to switch, no?) Misaki sounds adorable...odd, though, is he really Aria's brother? I mean, in his POV, he mentioned Aria's father, but didn't see the man as his own? Hmm...maybe it's just me...

Taiiko/Jae, huh? ^o^ Just for the record, I'm neutral on yaoi, so it doesn't bother me. I just hope that Sekira finds love again...she seems to be so hurt from losing her previous guy...I can only wonder what she saw at the end of this chap that made her so shocked...

Otherwise, the chapter was good! Ja~!

~Aki~

OOh, love triangle alert, love triangle alert~! ^o^ Who was that guy captivated by Sekira? I dunno...I'm guessing maybe Aria's brother, but then again I can never be too sure...

Wai!! Taiiko-kun wa kakkoi desu! ^o^ Lol, he shoots up in my favorite bishies list, lol. Couplewise, I'm for Sekira/Taiiko, whoo~!

I'm glad Sekira's beginning to open up now. I mean, wow...that flashback you inserted had a soulfully said air to it, especially as I was listening to sad music too! (sniff)

Ah well... fave line: "Loving you does not mean I can change the world". ^o^ Beautiful, and oh-so-true.

I have to get off now, but this goes on my faves list. Ja~!

~Aki~

Oro...it wasn't Rika-chan after all? (blushes furiously) I mean, gomen, gomen...

Lol, Aria sounds like a real sweetie-pie. ^o^ Although there were hints of some naivety, at least you gave her enough character to go around already...in her first appearance, to boot! Well done...

Eh...why is Sekira so bitter...? Ah, but the death of a loved one may be especially hard to get over, ne? ^o^ Ah, well...

FINALLY we get to know his name...Taiiko! (glomps) ^o^ Lol, good humor touch there, very nice, lol...

Good chapter!

~Aki~

Hey mintness~! (huggles) It's Aki, from WoI. Well a cold & fever kept me at home today, but on the bright side, I got to read this fic! (squeals and glomps in girlish glee) Erm, okay...

Wow, you set the mood for this chapter so perfectly. The girl's haunting sadness, the hints of the "him" she must have shared a *special* friendship with before...so nicely done. And the way you portrayed her determination was steely and sweet in its own way...thanks for including the song translation by the way. ^o^

Who's the guy...you know, the one who saved her? You make him sound so cute! ^o^ Bishie...and he wants her to be his lead, eh? Something in common with Him#1...things sound like they're gonna get really twisted for Rika-chan. ^o^

Lol. ^o^ Great chapter! Kupo~!

~Aki~

hey.

loved the ending. really sweet, even though it's sad. i hope that misaki and sekira get back together. they probably will, i think that's what you were implying. i *hope* that's what you were implying, i guess. good way to end a story.

i couldn't find this at first, because they took out anime/manga. how dare they! i loved that section! it was the only section that i actually read from in the Original area! gr. now it'll be double hard with knobs to find all of my fav stories.

thank you for writing such a great story. i've loved watching your characters grow, and it's been awesome to read. keep on writing, and i can't wait to read your next story:)

Yours till the chocolate chips,
britt (aka pinkpiggy)

rats. taiiko's gay. not that there's anything wrong with being gay, i just kinda hoped that he loved sekira.

so... how did sekira do anything to cause hell for ariake? i mean, she might have been rude, but for goodness sakes, that's not the end of the world!

does misaki really love sekira? or am i just over romantic? he hasn't been acting like someone in love... but he has been acting as more than a friend...

finally, you updated! i was dying here! i luv your story, and i hope you update sooner in the future!

oh yeah, before i forget, nice chap. got to learn a bit more about taiiko. toodles!


pinkpiggy

Wow, great story! I love the title and both the songs used...I don't even mind the cliffhanger that much, seeing as how your already on chapter 9 ;)

Keep writing!

nice chap! yay! they got talent scouted!

sheesh... sekira's depressed:(

uwaaa what's gonna happen to Ariake next? ^__^ Sorry i took sooo long to read & revieww *sweatdrop* Busy with school and haven't had the time to check new chaps ! Hey next time you put up a new chap, do inform me ne? ^__^

You think having A.M and E.M simultaneously is BAD?! Try having A.M tuition for one half hours, Maths for one half hours AND PHYSICS for another two hours SIMULTANEOUSLY ! UWAAA now you know why I take so long to read *sweatdrop*

sorry, you lost me.

ooooo... what did it say? the black book!
