Excellent A/U fic, I like how you kept Kenshin as an outsider to mainstream society, even in modern times. The end seems a little abrupt and left me without the feeling of closure though. I enjoyed the absenthe hallucinations, especially when his wings came to life. Nicely written story.

*tears* maybe it should end happier... it's good as is, don't get me wrong..

hey i think you should continue this story...hehe...just my opinion so w/e lol well i liked this a lot and im reading two of your other stories also so i hope tosee more from all of them! Lol

This is a very good story one of the best I think I have ever read. It is a dark story but it is still very good. I don't know but I don't think that this sounds like it is complet. To me it seems like it needs something else. It does not have to end happily but I think that it needs something else to completly close it off and put it to an end. But hey I could be wrong but thats what I think good luck on every thing ja

(I'm too lazy to sign in...) Anyways, I don't think I ever reviewed this story during the time that I was reading it, but I should've. I really liked the way that you ended "Touched". I'm one of those girls that goes for the tragic stories that leave you with a rather empty feeling. I would also like to mention that I love that song "Touched". The first time I heard was watching an OAV music video for RK. ...I just liked alot of the elements you used in this story very much.

I thought that I should comment on your dates. If Kaoru is in high school and she was born in 1980 or earlier then she is either in college or not in school at all. It's a wonderful story. I just thought that you should fix your dates because they don't add up.

pretty good...but to me the story seems kind of incomplete...and if it ended here it would seem like the ending was just a wee bit rushed...but that only me...tanyway...hope you continue it some more later...ciao!

I think this is a great story. And I think you have more chapters to write end ent this a little more happier. Kenshin and Kaoru should not suffer that much. After all they should be together. And there is also Aoshi and Misao. So write some more. This is a good story.

your writing is beautiful. it's dark and sensuous. i suggest raising your fic's rating to R however as it's a bit more graphic than a pg-13 fic.

well, can't say i like kenshin's physical description all that much but i suppose it works. sorry, i don't really go for the "goth" or wutever look, but if it fits, it fits. anyway, i like your description of kenshin's voice (rumble of thunder...heated velvet). nice.

... this is a very sad story.

Very sad. Please end it more upbeat. They both love each other no matter what happened, right? You're an excellent writer by the way. I was very absorbed in this story.

Upbeat, Please! K&K are the best couple in the world; they shouldn't suffer in the end!

poor kenshin...now it seems that everything is all his fault...which it kinda is...but that's besides the point. Though he tells her that she will not break him, she already has...and enishi having played the two of them on a string. anyway...keep it up! update soon!

This really has a complex plot (at the beginning!) but anyway, it is great, and I'm sad that it will be ending soon. This last chapter, in particular was really a sad one coz Kenshin...poor Kenshin!
