It's hard to balance school and writing so I understand what you're saying.
I hope everything goes well on your end!
For my part, I think my favorite parts are when natsume is close to yokai. However, I think that hell eventually need to face humans. I wonder what happened to takin and tanuma? It'd be nice to find out if they had children with spiritual powers...also, what did natsume do to 'stain the honor of the matobas' through Matiba Seiji?

Haaa. Poor guy. He thinks Natsume is an old dude.
Now that I think about it, there's no way for the Fujiwaras to be alive unless they really lived long lives Haha.
Anyway. I. can't wait to see Natori T.T

? Was that Seiji that just passed away?

Ah! Yees. Get him out of there, Madara. I wonder if he'll take cat form again lol?
Also, will he be able to one day meet the fujiwara? 5 years have passed...I'm assuming shigeru and touko are still alive.

Hi, yes. My baby natsume only lived to be in his mid to late 40s?! Noooo let him be an old maaaan.
Haha. Anyway, thanks for this! It's a very interesting concept!

This fic is absolutely lovely! I read through it all in one sitting

I do hope you'll continue this story. It's an interesting what-if scenario and I love how protective the spirits are. I'm kind of hoping that Natsume will get more training from his friends on how to use his powers. The one thing that bugged me in canon is that he doesn't put much effort into learning about the different spells/techniques (which would have been really useful considering how much trouble he gets into).

I just want them to become friends at least, but I really think that Reichi will become just as obsessed with Natsume as Matoba was.
I still expect them to become romantically involved and then maybe other exorcists try to acquire Natsume for themselves and Reichi tries to protect him with the help of the youkai. Maybe he starts to become a better person and a less creepy and less bitter version of his father. But seriously, how old are they?

I would really like to know their ages on this chapter.
Also... I still want a romance between them to happen, maybe Reichi becomes the cause of Natsume accidentally almost dying and the youkai save Natsume by transforming him in a spirit/youkai/god of a sort. Or Reichi becomes so attached to Natsume that he decides to run away to the mountains with him and live there with Youkai.

I kind of want for Natsume to be made into a spirit, maybe a god worshipped by youkai. But still be human, sort of.

I don't know really what I expected the first time I read this, but I kind of was hoping for a romance between Natsume and Reichi

I like that they have human forms

The fact that Natsume reincarnated was something I really liked and Madaras attachment to him was very heartwarming and realistic.

I cant wait to read more of your stuff soon! Congrats on almost being done!

Okay, just give me until tomorrow I am in exams right now.
Love this story by the way!
