I'm going to guess that the difficulty with writing this arose because of the bittersweet moment between Kaede and Takeshi, which was rather poignant and very. heartbreaking. But very reminiscent of the Buffy and Spike relationship, or rather foreshadowing of what will come. I could see perfectly in my mind both couples in the same moves, the same emotions. . . although I can't imagine Spike would be as willing to put off his gratification.
Author's Response: I'm absolutely tickled with this review. When I wrote the Kaede/Takeshi storyline, I was wanting to do so many things with the plot. I wanted the characters to be able to stand on their own while mirroring things that were happening in the Sunnydale story and hinting at things to come once this story is closed. I wasn't sure how successful I was being with those goals, but hey, you just hit the nail right on the head, so yay! Thanks!

Nice to see some Willow Buffy bonding time. :)
Author's Response: I couldn't keep them on eggshells throughout. Glad you liked it. Thanks!

Great chapter, but then yours always are ;)
The realtionship between Keade and takeshi seems like a really good one, they seem to care about each other a lot. The scene with them in the dojo made me smile, it was really nice. But as for Ichiro? Is it okay if I hate him? *lol* well *dislike* him? This really shows how lucky Buffy was to get Giles as a watcher.
Anyway, good job weywolfen! Now, I've got a couple of chapters to catch up with, so you won't ged rid of me yet! *lol*
Author's Response: Oh, please do hate Ichiro. I do and I made him. If I can get a visceral reaction out of you guys, I'll feel like I might be doing alright with this whole writing thing. Thanks for the review!

love this story!! though i think it lacks a bit of spuffyness ;) hope you have some soon :P thanx so much!
Author's Response: I tend to write the set up more than the follow through. I'll be posting again soon. Thanks for the feedback.

>>Willow’s face turned serious. “Buffy, can I ask you something?”
“Fire away.”
“Are you crying over Riley, or are you crying over the idea of Riley?”>>
A question that should have been asked in canon.
And, yes, this chapter is very sad. The love story of Kaede and Takeshi is truly heartbreaking.
Author's Response: Hearing that in canon would have certainly opened up some interesting avenues, but I guess it causes more long-term drama if everyone remains happily ensconced in the land of denial. Thanks for the review!

I wonder just how many Watchers have been responsible for the (premature) demise of their Slayer's? Ichiro is infuriatingly unfeeling and disrespectful, both toward Kaede and and Takeshi. I have nagging, and growing, suspicion that he...............
*nope, Chrissie, don't go there, wait awhile*
The two timelines again compliment each other beautifully. Both sets of Slayers and Vamps faced with frustrations that the others' have faced or will face. It's very intricate, isn't it, because you have one timeline moving backwards and the other moving forwards so their experiences don't so much mirror each other as represent past anf future tribulations. The great sadness is that, despite centuries of time and worlds of cultural and sociological change similar prejudices and barriers still exist.
This is a very thoughtful story, and this chapter has prompted me into some quiet reflection.
Lovely update, pet.
Author's Response: I wanted Ichiro to stand in for everything that is wrong with the Watcher's Council, even up to the modern day. As for the timelines, I'm just hoping that I don't bungle any of my threads along the way, because this story did become fairly complex when I decided to make the historic plot run backwards. Writing this story certainly made me think, am I think it's one of the highest complements reviewers can pay a writer to say that it did the same for them. Thank you!

I just realized I never mentioned this... I think it is really intriguing how, not only do you have two story lines going at once, but you have them going in reverse directions; one forward in time, one backward. It's really very cool! I love read this story. Keep up the good work! =)
Author's Response: Thanks! The reverse timeline is sometimes a headache, but it's fun to write too. I'm glad you're liking it.

Some self insight from Buffy-- that's a good sign! I never hated Riley (Yeah I know, I'm just about the only one!) but I always thought his appeal for Buffy was more "Not Angel" than "Riley" if that makes sense.
I love what you're doing with Kaede. Fascinating portait of a very different culture. I was wondering how "Girl power" would fit into such a male dominated world Really enjoying this!
Author's Response: That makes perfect sense. I never hated him either, and he filled his purpose well: the rebound guy that was everything Buffy's friends wanted for her. But there are some things that you just have to do for yourself (*cough cough* Takeshi *cough* Spike *cough*). :-D I'm glad you're liking Kaede's story too. Accurately portraying another culture was kind of intimidating, but fun too. Thanks for the review!

...rrrringgg...rrrriinnnggg... Clue phone for Miss Buffy Summers! And it seems like she's actually gonna answer it and LISTEN! Probably redundant of me to say this, but I'm lovin' every minute of it, baby!
Author's Response: I caught her in a weak moment, I'm sure this is a one time opportunity. ;-) Thanks for the review!

Well well well....now what ever will happen? Some serious Riley ass kicking would be fun ;)
Author's Response: I can't promise huge amounts of Riley drubbing, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. Thanks for reviewing!

Ah, a bit more understanding from Buffy. Good!
Author's Response: It will happen occasionally. ;-) Thanks for the review!

If I remember correctly Kaede and Takeshi didn't have much time together.. that is depressing too. I can't remember too what was written on the paper... Buffy with still being with her family and friends has it better than Kaede. Yet.. this is years later. ~ Glad to see Buffy does some self analysis. And is Giles yelling at Spike? Looking forward to the next chapter to find out :)
Author's Response: The letter is the one from the last Kaede-centric chapter. I'll be posting again soon. Thanks for the review!

Ah poor Kaede she really had a tough time of it. I hope she found some happiness in the end. Great update.
Author's Response: I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and even though it's going to be kind of rough along the way, I can at least promise a happier fate for my star crossed lovers. Thanks for the review!
