I love this so much, the constant atmosphere you've got going and all the delightful plots and twists make it so fun to read. I was generally apprehensive about Ryou's return to the chapel, curious as to how Bakura would react. Brilliantly written, hope to see more.

I really love this story. I am so sorry to hear about your laptop! I hope you can get the problem resolved soon, not that it matters since you never disappoint with updates.

Thank you for this wonderful story. :)

Oh my goodness. It has been such a long time since I have read this. I was cleaning out my email and I saw the update. I was so excited. I loved this story from the very beginning and I pray for it to be finished. I love your interpretation of the characters more then anything. Any ways, I hope there will be a chapter 8 :3

Great story! I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it! :)

Hahaha! Don't you hate it when that happens? All this anticipation builds up and before you know it, you completely forget what the point was in the first place xD

I'm sorry to say that your scenario shows deeply throughout this chapter. It didn't really seem like there was a specific direction. And I didn't like the way it just seemed to cut off.

But considering the fact that your trying for re-find your direction for this story, all of this is completely understandable.

This particular fic never really seemed like it had a particular outlook. Never an actual set plan.

But seeing what you came up with each and every time. Paying close attention to how each chapter just seemed to fit perfectly together, despite their time gaps when written, was always quite the experience.

I'm sure you'll figure something out- you always do. So don't stress yourself with this, and just let it come to you. The idea came once, it's bound to happen again lol

I'm sorry that I can't reassure you about that altar thingy. I myself am unsure as well. The few times my family visits a church, it is a Christian one, and I do my best to tune it all out *dodges flying fruit from any nearby Christians*

Religion has never really been my thing... ;

Anywho. I look forward to the future of what has become one of my favorite stories, simply do to its originality. You have a lot of talent, and I know that once things slow down and settle into place, you'll be able to get back on track with your stories.

Until then

I think you did fine. I'm not super religious but I went to catholic school for all of elementary and high. In elementary we had a statue of Mary on the wall and there was a red candle beside her feet. The teacher who taught us about genuflecting said we were to kneel facing the candle and this all happens well before the cerimony actually starts so I don't think your being sacrilegious.

Tease

Gosh it's been so long since I have reviewed and I feel really bad about that. I love this whole fic to bits and I really should stop being lazy and fine the time to review your work more often.

But no anyway cliffhanger uvu whyyyyyy?! Now I just want to keep clicking the next chapter button in hopes of an update soon!

Anyway keep up the great work dear!

ITS ABOUT FRIGGIN TIMETHIS WAS UPDATED! xD I've missed this story!

Thank you for the chapter! :)
It was great and appeeciated.

This is a cool story :)

I hope that your luck changes soon with your computer situation, Marionette-san!

I figured you'd be ticked off with all of my super short reviews for Silver Scales, so I'll just write one super-long one for this story. xD

Yeesh, your ideas are really original and really intriguing. I was very sympathetic for Ryou from the very start; after all, no child should have to hear such things when they're so young, and especially not in church!

Bakura having a scorpion tail was an interesting touch. I wonder what made you think of it..?

Uhm, poor Ryou got quite a lot of pervs after him, eh? :C Not to mention that guy that tried to mug him! And he has incestuous Marik around to top it off! ARRRRGGGH! I like Bronzeshipping as much as the next Tendershipper, but the incest made me kind of bite my lip and cringe. (This coming from someone whose guilty pleasure is Fearshipping. xD)

I enjoyed all of the dark elements and your great imagery. :D The necklace was a really cool idea, and probably one of my fave things in this story. Bakura was awesome (as he should be OwO) and Ryou was super sympathetic. YAY!

Woah, what an interesting start. I am hooked. The demon's reflections on the priest and one of the most devout members of the church appeals to my curiosity so strongly I HAVE to read on to find what happens. I don't mind the pedophilia. As much as many authors seem to want to fabricate things, its existence is real. Hell, I'm a sadist when it comes to Ryou, so let loose.

Bakura's intriguing, too. I love how he's tormenting Ryou. Not purely for the whole 'tormenting' part, but because it definitely fits his character.

This story is very interesting! I'm enjoying it a lot! can't wait to see what happens next :)

IM SOO HAPPY YOU UPDATED! *glomps you*

This was an awesome chapter! Especially considering the circumstances you were forced to work with. I would never be able to write in public like that. Especially under such scrutiny lol

I really liked it though. And I promise you that I'm not just saying that. I thought you displayed the awkwardness between them very, very well. And I loved how you made Ryou imagine him naked while talking to him. That was really funny xD

Though no one would really be able to look down on him for it. I mean, those dreams/thoughts were pretty damn vivid ;

But I honestly didn't think Malik would be able to sense a presence in the church. That was kinda freaky/cool lol But I guess with his brother "gone" he's been more open-minded?

Either way, I can't imagine things going well for poor little Ryou next chapter. I'm sure Bakura will give him a warm welcom back... _

Anywho

Thank you so, so much for taking the time out to update for us. It's really very sweet of you to do so *hearts and smiles*

See you next time!

OMG, I love love love love LOVE this story. It is very attention-grabbing and angsty, which naturally makes for a good read. I do hope to see an update some time soon! :) Since no one else is updating, I REALLY WOULD. :3
