Ok, um...I don't know her penname, but I remember that she wrote a story starting with Tru dying, and then going backwards to explain what happened. Rest assured, though, that I loved your story because of the plot and everything else and not just bec. of its similarity to another. Hee!

Author's Response: Hmm. I'll have to go out and look around. I was just curious. I'm glad you liked the fic though. Thanks!

Lol, very typical Buffy characteristics, and I love the Japanese samurai era touch. Love the Orochi name; That's the name of 1 of my fav evil guys from the game King of Fighters. Lmao.

Loving this story so far, thanks for sharing! :)

Rgds,
Jen

Author's Response: I actually took Orochi from Japanese mythology, but ever since I've been finding references about monsters and bad guys from all kinds of stories and mediums. It's kind of fun. Thanks for reviewing!

That question definitely should have been asked in canon. I always thought of Riley as a nice guy, but not the right guy. And Buffy did care about him, but he was really just her attempt at the normal guy that Angel told her to find.

She was so afraid to think for herself, and that didn't really improve even to the end of the series. I always admired Spike for aking up his own mind and his own choices. None of the rest of them did.

My BF said he has read the book, but not in a long time. He's been thinking about picking that one up again, and The Art of War.

The note Kaede found was the message from Sano, right?

Author's Response: Sun Tzu and Musashi are both worth picking up every couple of years. It's interesting what you get out of them when you read them from different points in your life. Thanks to Angel, Buffy did become an emotional coward in the show. I agree that one of Spike's more admirable traits was his ability to take the kind of emotional hits that would break a normal person, but he just picked himself up and kept going. And yes, the letter is the same one from two chapters ago. Thanks for the review!

Interresting story! And very original. I like it a lot weyrwolfen, another story that just instantly sucks me in! :D Good job!

Author's Response: It's that black hole I put in chapter 5. Just kidding of course. Thanks for the review!

Happily hooked. I'm so glad you're back with another fic. I adore S4 Spuffy - they're at their snarkiest, sparkiest best - and that goes for all the characters.

So, I'm already wondering and greatly intrigued about how the Japanese Slayer became pregnant by her vampire lover. And speaking of vampire lovers, where was Spike when Giles was debriefing Buffy and Willow about the artifacts and the rituall? Chained up and uncharacteristically silent in the bathtub? In SB, after after Willow ended the spell and they returned to Giles' place, Spike is shown with only the token restraint of his torso (and possibly feet) tied to a chair. And to the best of my recollection, that's the last I recall of seeing him restrained while at Giles' at all. Where was he? Where was Xander for that matter.

One little unsolicited beta comment:

...oooh - never mind. It was the concealed - s/b concealing thing, but I just went back to copy and paste and see you've already corrected it.

Anyway, it's a great beginning and I'm very much looking forward to following this story through to its completion.



Author's Response: Yeah, I saw that mistake and proceeded to introduce my face into my desk. That's what I get for partially changing a sentence at the last second, huh? I'm pretty much working without a net, so any future unsolicited beta advice will be appreciated. I'm going to be swapping perspectives each chapter, so I promise you'll find out exactly what Spike is up to in chapter 2. The reason, other than the obvious part, why Kaede is pregnant will hopefully start becoming apparent as well. Here's a little spoiler for you about the rest of the story: the part set in modern times only covers two days. That means I cut it down to only a few characters, so Xander gets mentioned but is otherwise AWOL throughout this piece. Sorry. Thanks for the review!

Well good start, me personally love the whole samurai thing. So I'm hoping this story will be to my liking.

Author's Response: I hope so too. :-) Mixing two of my favorite things, iaido and vampires, is proving to be extremely fun. Thanks for reviewing!

OH! A new story from you :) *big smile* Seems as if the start (Kaede's and Takeshi's story) would made a great story itself. Even if it is a very sad one. Even if they are a having a child. ~ I wonder if the katana's are Kaede's. A letter from Quentin Travers? Sounds not good. Oh no.. resurrection. Then one of the katanas belonged to Kaede and the other to Takeshi. Love it so far. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: I will be telling a piece of Kaede and Takeshi's story at the beginning of each chapter. (That's where the angst in the warnings comes into play.) Thanks for leaving a review!

Enjoying the little touch of fact and fiction melted into a B/S story. See we are having another culture
lesson-like it.

And how much of this history will repeat itself with the slayer and vampiric consort ? Waiting to read more.





Author's Response: I was corrupted by my two historian parents as a child, I can't help it. ;-) As for history performing a repeat, that stands on our couple's ability to learn from the past. Sorry about the non-answer, but I'm being covetous of my spoilers. Thanks for reviewing!

Break out the trumpets and play a fanfare! weyrwolfen's back with a new story!

And a novel twist too... Japan, swords, a Slayer and her Vampyre Consort *cur ridiculous wiggling of eyebrows*, and it's all set during a time period when Spike and Buffy were their snarky, feisty, irrepressible bestest, IMHO.

So, I'm hoping, in this version of their reality, there's more coupley actioc and less trips to the land of DeNial.

Great start wyvie, showing great promise. Welcome back to the madness of posting and reviewers! *HUGS*

Author's Response: It's good to be back, especially when I'm greeted with fanfares! It's pretty hopeless to try to "hide" who the consort is going to be, huh? Oh well. ;-) De Nile ain't in Japan, so let me see how I can accomodate that request. Thanks for reviewing!

Brilliant start. I did the Tokugawa period at uni and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: You'll have to keep me honest then. History books love the battles and mostly ignore the commonplace. I hope I don't mangle the culture beyond repair. Thanks for reviewing!

OHHHH, interesting concept. I wonder who's going to bring forth the idea of Spike being Buffy's consort.

Author's Response: Who... or what? D'oh. Mini-spoiler. :-D Thanks for reviewing!

This story looks great so far! I'll admit that I know next to nothing about Japanese history/weaponry, but you make it easy to follow. I'm looking forward to reading more!

Author's Response: So what you're saying is... I should be able to fake my way through Japanese history and culture pretty easily. ;-) Just kidding, I hope. Glad you're liking it! Thanks for reviewing!

Very interesting start! I like the detailed look at the Japanese slayer; will we be seeing more of her? And season 4 is always good. I like the tense relationship you have between Buffy and Willow. I always had a hard time with the way they forgave her so easily. This seems much more realistic to me.

Author's Response: You'll be seeing lots more of Kaede and Takeshi. As for the Something Blue related strife, I want Buffy and Willow reconciled, but I also want Buffy a little off her game at the beginning, which I think she would be so soon after the spell. Thanks for reviewing!

Cool start. Be interesting to see if you have Giles tell Buffy Angel is out of the running because of the soul.

Author's Response: I love how everyone, Scoobies included, jumps to exactly the same conclusion... As for how I intend to stomp on the Angel option, I think I'll save that spoiler for a little bit. Thanks for reviewing!
