Your Hiko is great like his interaction with Kenshin. I really enjoyed it :)

A western wedding dress for a shinto wedding? I wonder,why you thought this was necesarry. I find it hard to see it suitable.

Your information about "normal" weddings is really interesting. I didn't know that before - it's quite convenient *g*

pls finish this story ive been waiting its good FINISH PLEEEEAAAASSSSE!

Great story so far!

Awesome! U hav me laughing the whole step of the way. Poor Kenshin! Heehee

Very good story. Your characterization is pretty good, and altogether the story unfolds smoothly and pleasantly. I enjoyed what I've read so far, and I am anxious to see more from you. Please update very soon! Good work :)

I love how petulant Kenshin becomes around Hiko. It is fun to see our cool hero lose it and revert to childishness around his surrogate father proving once again how easy it is to fall back into old family dynamics!

Good chapter. It so nice to have a canon story where you can have such lightheartedness with the characters. I like how Kenshin get nervous and flustered but you have managed to keep him from falling into deep angst which by this point. As for the emerging tension of the Saito plotline, I am intrigued. My only disappointment is the idea that Kaoru would be in a western wedding dress. Although there was a fascination with the west in Meiji Japan, I would imagine a western style dress would be prohibitively expensive. I can't picture Kaoru prizing the dress above what the money could do for her family. I don't want to make a big deal of this but that is how I see it.

Really appreciate you including Hiko because I like him too. (Especially when he's taunting Kenshin).

Umm, maybe it's just me being slow but I noticed a little 'something' in your writing though; you know when someone says something, I'm like "Wait, who says what?" Example in chapter three: - "Why do you think I'm here?" Kenshin raised an eyebrow. - I knew that was Hiko saying that only after I paused and I re-read the preceding lines. I'm aware of the two persons involved in the conversation, but when you write the lines that way, first person saying the line, then followed by an action/reaction of the second person, makes me think that the line was being said by the second person when in fact it's being said by the first person. There's A LOT of those kind of lines in the story. It's confusing. And distracting. My train of thought isn't continuous. Not good. Like when I'm sleeping and I suddenly felt something hit my head realizing it's a pen marker thrown by my teacher cuz I was sleeping in class. Not good at all.

Hope you get what I meant. And that's it. Other than that, I have nothing but praises for you. )

Sarita

That was a sweet proposal scene! lol at Kenshin's interaction with Yahiko and Tomaru. Can't wait to read the next chapter!

Lovely story! I'm liking it so far. Very good characterization. Been awhile since I've read a very good rk kenkao fanfic...

Natsu kara aki made - from summer until autumn, isn't it? Or not. lol. It would be nice if you include your exact meaning of the story's title too. )

You capture each of the characters so well! Great blend of romance and humor and it really does feel like a continuation of the original series. Love, love, love stories like this. Can't wait for the next chapter!

I loved how Hiko was able to fluster and humiliate Kenshin so easily. The man does seem to bring out the worst in Kenshin.

Aw, are Saitou and Yamagata going to ruin the wedding?

I think you don't have enough perspective on your writing because I thought the proposal scene was absolutely adorable. I also like how you capture Kenshin's insecurities without going over the top. Yes, he's worried and doesn't feel worthy but once he's made up his mind, he does something about it, even if it is less smooth than he intended. The only things I could see changing would be more commas and Kaoru taking a bath before she sits down to dinner (especially if she thinks Kenshin is going to propose-what girl wants to be in her workout clothes for that). I am just going to assume that that happened before she sat down to eat!

I love canon stories that imagine all the ways these two could get together. Having Tae do the push was a good idea. She has always been direct and unlike Sano, Kenshin wouldn't feel comfortable flat out telling her to mind her own business. I think you also did a very good job keeping everyone in character. I look forward to where you go with this. Knowing their communication difficulties, I imagine one step forward to two steps back.

Huzzah for the story! XD Love the glossary hun. :D
