Gah! Four years later and I still don't know what's gonna happen! Please please please return to this story and finish it. It's just too good to leave on an infinite cliff hanger!

Oh no! poor hisoka! I hope tsuzuki didn't do what I think he did, at least not at his own will o.o please update soon! I love your fics

This is a fascinating story; I really like it. I hope you return to it some day.

FFFFFF-

I'm sorry it took me so long to read this after I got the notification, but OhMyChrist. Have I mentioned I love this yet? Because I do. A million times, I do.

I'm so glad you didn't decide to make them sit through chapters of awkward hate silence, but the thought of what Hisoka's gonna do when he find out... that's... that's gonna be pretty bad. You've anchored Tsuzuki's reason for not wanting to tell him the truth very well, though. Definitely believable. I mean, the whole time I'm reading it, I just wanna be able to scream it at him, but what is a story without its conflict?

But I can't wait to see how your writing of this case goes. If this gets much better, you'll be right up there with Lucy May (check her on AFF, for real), to me. I love long chapters, though the waits, I am not a fan of - but I understand. I'm just excited.

Amazing job on the new chapter. Whenever it goes up, expect a new review from yours truly~ :D

I can't wait for the next chapter!This and 'Scent of a man' are so well written, and very moving. Makes one smile :'D

omg!...why oh why do i have a terrible horrible feeling about what Murkai did to Tsuzuki..."He couldn't let Hisoka go on thinking that they were just the same, that he was innocent"...what the hell is THAT suppose to mean?...omg...so Tsukui was not raped but he willing had sex with Murkai?...*bang*...*brain splattered onto the screen*...*shudder*...i really hope that was not the case...*cross fingers*...but hell, it seems so likely because of the hints from Tsuzuki...if not the willing sex then what possible could it be about that it could be consider as beteryal?...maybe Tsuzuki saw the rape of Hisoka and Tsuzuki ahem responded sexually?...kyaaa!...i don't know...but Tsuzkui is freaking me out!..."Did I think this could work because of the rape? That he wouldn't want to get closer because of what Muraki did to him?"...again what the hell are you thinking about Tsuzuki?...you are scaring the shit out of me!...*cries*...this chapter is plain torture!...i hate it I hate!...*runs away crying*…but I hope that you will update soon!...although somehow I have a feeling that the next chapter won’t be a fluff one…-_-…but nonetheless, please update soon!

Great chapter, and I can't wait to read the next one, when you update. But no hurry. I know that can take a while. It seems like there's a definite twist in this one compared to the prequel, although i have to say that Watari and Tatsumi wasn't a pairing that i would have guessed in a million years. :) Okay, well good job on this one and see you next time! :)

Oh no. Stupid Muraki, ruining such a nice moment! Poor Tsuzuki and Hisoka...

sincerely, nihongoneko

this was really good - i'm really looking forward to the next chapter

That quote at the beginning sounds familiar...but I can't recall ever reading it...huh...

I'm glad you finally got this out-and with so much...depth? Whatever the word is, I think it came out wonderfully-you captured the conflict and everything very nicely!

Don't worry it realy was worth the wait! I was seriously on tender hooks until the moment Tsu finally gave into Suzuaku and let himself see Hisoka again! Of course things are going to go very badly when the truth (that he let Muraki have him, I'm assuming...or at least that he believes as such) comes out, though I do think he's judging how Hisoka might react to something like that a little harshly...or maybe not...

urgh I seriously can't wait for the next one!

Your writing is amazing! Just wanted to say that. It really is!

I can't wait for the next chapter! But, take your time. I understand not knowing where to start and all...

Well, great story thus far! (:

:O

B-But... D: They were getting along so well...

As much as I hate to say it, this is... rather realistic in terms of their partnership. I mean, you think about it, and there is no real way for them to fit together smoothly. Like the fortune they got in Kyoto, one big black omen.

But... I can't imagine what's really meant to happen next, unless they some how try to just... gloss over it, like they did with Kyoto. But... my, this really is a difficult plot to follow through with, at least, but it's... a good follow up to the cannon, I feel. But so painful. I mean, "I love you, but we're just partners now." That's *painful.* That hurts a person. Deeply.

Poor 'Soka... can't wait for more.

wow...this is just intense stuff...and yes i do agree that this one is going to be much more angsty and darker than the first one...-_-...but i really really love how you slowly build up the darker themes, it jsut seems to snuck up on them...and those images of hooks were creepy...i do not even want to think about what those hooks are used for...-.-...and about their case…wonder who is the culprit?...i just bet that Muraka will pop up during that case…-_-…hmmm...Hisoka the seme?...i never read a fanfic featuring Hisoka as the top before...i am not sure how i feel about Hisoka being seme, much less picture it...but in a way, it seems to fit into the story because of how Tsuzuki is right now...someone needs to take charge and it looks like Tsuzuki is going to be out of commission for a while...so it is only logical that Hisoka will be the seme to initate things along...but then again maybe Tsuzuki needs to top because of what he went through...it looks like Hisoka is over what happened between Muraka and him...more like he is less troubled about what happen in the past…but omg!...i am just so shock!...i can’t believe that Tsuzuki said that to Hisoka…what does he mean by “we can’t do this again”?...what? having sex?...but it seems like Tsuzuki does not want anything more personal to do with Hisoka ever again…why would he say that?...i am very very confused about it…is Tsuzuki ashamed about what happen with Muraka? Or something much more deeper than that?...and I just can’t imagine how Hisoka is feeling now…he must be very devastated and hurt by Tsuzuki’s rejection…T_T…gosh, the next chapter will be more horrible than this one…probably a confrontation between them…well I just hope that Hisoka will fight for Tsuzuki and not let Tsuzuki push him away…so please update soon!...i can’t wait to see what will happen next…

oh, Tsuzuki... Hisoka didn't realize that Muraki had done the same to Tsuzuki, just without the curse. *cries* I was so sad at the end of the chapter...
