*pouts* You're such a tease! LOL. I wanted more fluff! An actual kiss or two you know? But I just got one cute, simple one-sided kiss at the end? So sad!

But I truly did love this story. They actually got to know each other better and as Aya tried to keep Ken awake...Ken's truthful words broke my heart! I wanted to cry but the tears didn't actually come out. The feeling was there though! At least Ken-kun will be ok! I hope they get together eventually...but knowing Youji...they definitely will . :)

Beautiful! All of that just to make the barest hint of a start. Touching and realistic all at once.

Nothing like trauma and loss to bring things out into the open and hammer home what's important.

It's such a perfectly drawn developing relationship, all growing attraction and interest, missteps, things being left unsaid, feeling around themselves and each other. It's that sense of uncertainty I really like about it.

So Aya's interested too. In paintball, at least. Hell of a lot more normal than usual for him, so it's a start.

Opening up and coming to terms, such a lovely read!

absolutely adorable!

Elegantly written

Hooray, you didn't kill Kenken! I was worried that you were going to at first. And yuck, Aya smoking, he should know better now if his coughing fit didn't tell him. I was surprised that Youji didn't act more concerned, I always pictured him as an annoying older brother, especially with the way that he likes to ruffle Kens feathers, not to mention his hair. XD Then ending was sweet too, I liked how you added the line that Ken would be the same but he didn't know if THEY would. Nope, they're gonna get together. _ Fantastic job on this, I'm sad now that there isn't any more Ran/Ken fics of yours to read because I read them all today. ; I'm such a nerd. :P Anyways thank you so much for creating such a wonderfully, well-written story for all of us to enjoy.

Ack! What a horrible way to leave off with this chapter. Wow, you would think that Omi would have given them just a LITTLE more time to get out so they wouldn't be injured. Or at least part way to an exit. Sheesh. I hope Ken doesn't die, that would just be weird especially with all the fluffiness that you've had going on. And I think Aya chooses to do the killing, not because he's faster, but just so that Ken doesn't have to do it. Well I'm off to the final chapter to see how you're decided to end all of this. I've enjoyed it this far, lets see if that continues shall we? _

Haha, Aya being childish. I loved it! And the fact that he decided to go with Ken to watch him play soccer was astonishing to say the least. Go Youji for suggesting it. XD Sorry Aya, soccer is just one thing you'll never be better at than Ken. _~ Those bruises must be painful. I was kinda hoping to see how Ken was dealing with his considering he got hit in the chest twice, I think it was. One at pretty close range too. Ouch. He's got to be sporting a pretty big bruise from that. They were getting along to and they just had to go and have a spat, now to top it all of they have a mission. Poor guys.

In a word, this chapter was fun. The whole last scenes with them playing paintball was too amusing for words. It's the first time I've seen any of the Weiss characters do that in ANY story so it was refreshingly original. _

I can't believe that Aya cheated. I really thought that he had a hurt knee. I guess I'm just a gullible as Ken. XD And I've never played paintball so I have no idea how bad they hurt. I was only shot once with one and I had like three layers of coats on. ; And the fact that he started right away and wasn't even gonna explain anything to Ken made me giggle. (I seem to do that a lot in your stories. _~)

Oh, back to the beginning of the chapter (I should really organize my thoughts before I do these) was funny. Youji will be Youji I guess. And Kenken was right, Aya should never have doubted him. But I think my favorite line was 'N, you're bony as hell.' I don't know why either, it just really struck me as funny and something Ken would say to keep from feeling stupid. XD

Another cute, chapter. Now onto the next. -

I still can't get over the lovely way that you portray Aya and Kens personalities whether its silly fluff like this story or serious and angsty. The little spats they had in this, espeically towards the end, really made me smile.

Aya shouldn't complain about being stuck in the snow with Ken, I certainly wouldn't. I would love to be curled up under a blanket with him. We all know Aya doesn't really mind being in that position. _~

I also always enjoy the quiet talks that they seem to have in your stories. And for some reason the idea of Aya surfing made me crack up and laugh. No wonder Ken was so surprised. And the fact that Aya KNEW Ken would forcibly drag him back there made me laugh too. They're both too stubborn for their own good sometimes. But that's one of the qualities I like to see when I read stories about them. _

Now I'm off to read the next chapter of this story. I would say I don't know what to expect put I clicked the forward button and saw the first couple of lines, so I do. _~ I'm sure I'm gonna like the next chapter just as much as this one.

Aw, kyote ending! Unless... well, if you add more it'd be even cuter but that might take away from the dramatics of the last bit of this chapter... so... yeah

i just realized that i reviewed and told u to update when the story is complete... -_-; really smart, i know im just so used to telling people to update things that i dont think sometimes when reviewing. i really loved the story though!
