First of all, I apologize for not commenting on the first three parts when I read them yesterday. ^^ (Or the giant backlog of comments on all your other fics, which I devoured a few days ago - I feel semi-guilty commenting on ALL of them because it would flood your inbox about old posts, lol.) I was fangirling rather hard at the time, and it didn't help that I read part one right before work and had to wait 8 hours until I could read the rest. --; Otherwise:

*__* I am absolutely in love with this story. You're creating this wonderful detailed portrayal of not just D1, but all of Rikkai. I could hug you for giving Yukimura the steel he must be made of to lead Rikkai, and suffice it to say I am extremely impressed with your handling of Yagyuu - all the right personality elements combined with a plausible history make for great characterization. I can't wait to read more of this story - checking my flist to find that you've posted is always a lovely treat. ^^
