"I have just spent three hours being lectured by your kind-hearted Rou-kanri, another two by the Secretary of Protocol, and another by the emperor's advisors, who I might add are very frightening. I spent an additional ten minutes being interrogated by your father, which was possibly the most terrifying experience of my life. I am not criminally insane. I am not acting on my clan's orders to carry out an assassination. I do not have any sort of bizarre obsession with you. I was just trying to be nice."
XD That was the best monologue in the whole story. Reishin and Kijin's dialogues were also very amusing... And of course I could never forget Shuuei holding Sei over the wall. XD

THAT WAS BRILLIANT! I loved how Kou Houju was following Kouyuu around for Reshin and how every time Kouyuy would go in one direction he would follow him two minutes later lol! In the end how Shuuei was holding Sei by the ankles and the end still dropped him and Reshin changed the anesthetic was hilarious.

That was sweet, really. History would repeat itself when the first female and youngest person, along with the Ran genius passed in the top spots. It was endearing, to see all of the character interactions. I feel that you captured all of the characters well.

Wonderful story and a perfect ending!

Just love the friendship between Kouyuu and shuuei in this story.
And omg, Reishin and Kijin's conversation every few paragraphs! XD
Sei deserved what he got. And oh Reishin-sama... I think he knows something about the swap... A lot...

Haha! D

I must admit I like your story flow. Very nicely portrayed. Especially the small, short excerpts of Reishin.

Ah, I always wondered how they came to be friends. LOL. This is one of the best Koyuu and Shuuei stories I've stumbled across. I love this series, it's awesome. Thanks for writing something so fun to read!

This fic is pure and utter love. i love how you managed to capture the essences of the guys and I just love how absolutely darling Kouyuu is (I am biased towards him, as an aside). Also, the way Shuuei acted merely to get his apology accepted was utterly hilarious. I wish that there were more fics like this. XD

I love the interrogatory part : is Reishin so much horrible, I wonder. (laugh)

bravo !

This is a wonderfully hilarious story. An instant fav. I applaud you! D

What a great story! I enjoy Shuuei's particular brand of madness, you've captured him well. The little unidentified asides with Reishin and Houju were hilarious, too!

That was really good, I loved it! One little thing though, I think Ryuuren would have been much older than a little kid at that time, more like 11 or 12 years old.

[It took him a moment to notice his book had been suddenly slammed shut, and he blinked uncertainly into the face of Sei, an older boy who always had an expression like he was eating ku gua.]

*amused* Isn't that Chinese for bitter melon? I can see why Sei would seem daunting. XD

Nice fic.

haha. that was great! It was sad that they were bullying Kouyuu but Shuuei's there to help him.

Great work. I love how you kept them in character. though I had to say Kouyuu act a little like Reishin, being proud and all, just like his father.

and the parts about how much trouble Reishin was going through as well as giving kijin was funny and sweet at the same time, knowing how much he worries about his son though he refused to show it to him.

Very nice ) love this story... perhaps we could have more stories of them? )

Excellent story!
