I agree with wordsworth...laughed my ass off at "the air of freedom" and Megumi fits in perfectly!

Yuuyami, I just finished reading your entire fic from beginning to end. Well not end, but where its up to now. :P  
 
I'm amazed at how you were able to create a different world that the H!P members could be living in, I absolutely love it!
 
I can't remember every single detail because I read the whole thing in one sitting and probably missed a few things, but I loved the part where Maki gave Reina the cross necklace :heart: XD
 
I also agree with wordsworth and Tanachan about Megumi's "air of freedom" ! :lmao:  Alot of the moments made me laugh so much and I'm definately looking forward to seeing more!!

I like how you've added other hp members who aren't really written about in fics. So it's nice to see Murata in the story, and I agree with the others that her part in the story was hilarious. :lol: Reina/Maki seems to be appearing alot in stories recently, quite an interesting pair.

Going back a chapter, I guess I just missed that phrase about Maki-hebi opening the window from the inside.
 
The image of Murata-hebi slithering into a wall without her glasses was hilarious.  I guess that's why she usually wears contacts and rims without lenses.  Though, it made me wonder: What happens to the girls' brown contacts when they transform?

I love this. It was so hilarious and cute! But the end!!! Why WAS yossie being all evil and suspicous???? And I was thinking (yes, I think about this stroy ransomly throughout the day) could Mari be the head??? Then again, I bet I'm totally off but that's ok. You need to keep writing so I can see how wrong I actually am!

Yuuko = too obvious?
Maybe the Ojou-sama bit has to do with someone else we've seen called that, maybe... MAKOTO?!  (See Haromoni Theatre) Lol, just talking out of my ass, but I just wanted to throw it out there

Oh man. I have so many references to Fruits Basket here and I love it. This even has me inspired. >.> <.<

ANYWAYS, love this fic so much. I also love that Murata's one of the cursed one. She reminds me of Ayame or Shigeru from Fruits Basket. (Not sure which one. XD)

While I write my next chapter, you can all marvel at the crap that is my sad attempt at drawing that last part manga style XD... Tried to capture the scheming look on Yossie =_____= I hate my scanner to death, it messed up the shading, especially on Yossie's hair ><;

I apologise to all other authors but as soon as I log in this is the first story I jump to. It seems Im well and truly hooked!!

I dont know...something about snakes and H!P members and I curse and the ability to fly...its just so...Argh, I dont even know how to explain it properly. Its fantasy so closely connected to reality and thats the style I like. I dont like things that are too way out..its just annoying.

A day at the zoo? I was actaully at a reptile house not so long ago :D

So...looking at snakes and eating crepes...sounds like a date.

Read the complete Doki Doki!!

I agree with Mikan in that this is definitely the must-read fic on the forums right now.  A few months ago, I'd have said Doki Doki would be at the top, but we all know that sudden droughts of new content can kill anything's momentum in a hurry. (hint hint)

Don't you love me anymore!?! *cries* What about the kids? You have to think of them!

Lol, I'm stoopid.

I originally wanted to comment on the drawing, but I couldn't resist.

Oh and manga style Yossui? *squee!*

“Don’t say ‘Ah…’ so creepily, it’s like an old man,” Maki turned her head away.

“Ah…” Megumi held her stoic expression again, “that one was to anger you.”

:D


i didn't want to make comparison but as Mayonnaise started that...Maki.X.Miki fighting reminds me of Yuki.X.Kyo haha... Koari was obviously Hatori, Megumi ---> Ayame, but not as extravagant as him...so more like Haru..Yossi sounded like Shigure...but i don't remember reading she is one of the cursed one so...huh...more like Uotani...maybe those two mixed hehe...

anyway, even if there are a lot of Fruits basket influences, it was a real pleasure to read it :) keep the good job coming !

You got it all wrooong XDDDD

I only used their roles in the story. That is to say, What Maki does is similar to what Kyou would've done or something, and Yossie's suspicious habits are like Shigure's suspicious habits and whatnot.

Maki --> Kyou

Yossie --> Shigure

Megumi --> Hatsuharu (excluding "Black")

Kaori -->Hatori

Sorry, there's no Yuki role in the story XD Anywho, yeah, there's plenty of Fruits Basket influence in there. I simply want to capture that 'epic poem' feeling in the story, one that'll keep my readers reading and on edge and whatnot. So if you've read Fruits Basket, there might be some similar situations in here that you might be able to connect with.

But for now, I'd like all of you to think of this story as separate from Fruits Basket, and it's own completely different genre. (By the way, Mikan, I would classify this as Fantasy-Modern). I want you all to like my story as it is, not because of it's similar ties to Fruits Basket.

Oh and, I'm thinking of trying to create manga chapters. As in, literally draw out the chapter as a manga. Even if I don't have the commitment for it, I'd like to try to at least draw a chapter cover (Splash image) or something...

So yes, still in progress of writing next chapter.

PS. Miki does not and will not have romantic ties to Reina, I apologize if it seemed that way. XD (Saying that because some of you compared her to Yuki's role.)

i never said i like this story because it was Fruits basket related...or at least if i did i don't remember it...i like the story because you wrote it really well, and at first, i like it because it's h!p related...i really don't keep on reading because of fruit basket part, 'cause reading fruits basket i guess is enough...i keep on reading it because i like what you do...sorry if i said twice the same thing but i wanted to make it clear :)
i mean it, i like your work.

Whoa! Miki's rockin'!

And I didn't say I liked it because of it being like Fruits Basket. (It would've had to have been of the thirteen zodiac for it to have been so) But, I liked it because from what I liked, I would always be reminded of their personalities and likenesses between the characters. ^^,,

So forgive me if I made it seem like that. ^^,,
