KONNICHIWA, MINNA! ^_^. Yes- you all hate me for not updating this sooner, ne? ((j.k! please don't hate me!)) Anyway- as I promised- replies to responces... and um... the link for "Somewhere I Belong" along with a general note is at the end. Anyway- replies!:

TWILIGHT HUNTER & PANDORA: Yeah- the fic would still be fine without a lemon... I haven't counted- but I'd have to say over 75% of the people who reviewed the last chapter of the story wanted a lemon- soooo.... can't disappoint the fans!

DARK LADY SETSUNA: Self control? [chuckles] And don't worry about feeling dirty for asking for an NC-17 part- we all get the urge [winks and suddenly hears the Herbal Essence commercial songs] "She's got the urge- natural botanicals- she's got the urge... to herbal!" O.o [smacks all the singers with a stick] URUSAI!

K.T: O.O thanks.

RENEE THE RABID SQUIRREL: Hey- I had my doubts, ya know? Besides- if I HADN'T had said that I was thinking about it, someone would have hounded me begging for one! [cries] it's not cool, dude!

ANGELBAKURAISHTAR45: Ah... imaging the sakura scene... [sniff] yeah- I can imagine it perfectly too! [wipes away a happy tear]

BEVERLY: Hai- accidental admittance situations are THE BEST- leaves you all warm and flattered inside- even if you're not even the character... [giggle]

BRIT-CHAN: Yeah- a few tear worthy scenes- but a few comical ones? Huh? I hadn't intended there to be funny parts... but hey- if it works for you, then it's all good! And Natalie's CD is pretty good- I always liked it too- I never was a big fan of her's though... It was just... nice. Besides- I have to give it props for serving as the base to "LotM", ya know? So- thanks, Natalie! And... [looks at the box of Pocky] SUGOI!

BROKEN ANGEL: Um... my website address is in my profile...? [hands her a bumper sticker reading: I AM A RABID SHONEN AI FAN]

LITTLESTKITTEN: Ah... I really need to fix that picture... it's driving me nuts, I swear... but um- I'm glad you're happy with what I did with it, I guess!

RYOUBAKURAFAN013: [stares] you cried? Ne? [hands her a tissue] was it that emotional? [eyes water] arigatou.... But um... [wipes face] knowing what the characters are thinking is always a plus- I wish more authors did that sometimes... And yeah- a 3-some. Which I'm not sure how I'm gonna update... I have A LOT of ideas- but the hard part is deciding in what order they'll happen. Hmph- maybe I should make it one of those fics that leave you all thoughtful and stumped... sounds like a plan to me! But you're on a writers block? [shakes her] DEVILS- COME OUT! ((and thanks so much, rbf! You're one of my favorite reviewers cuz you tell me straight forward and don't sugar coat what you've gotta say! [huggles] domo arigatou gozaimasu!))

MIRAKI AND YAMI MIRAKI: The NC-17 is a nice ending? Well- it took a long time to write... [sigh] but it's done and so yeah- hope you like ^_~.

SAILLE OF LAGUZ: Well- here's your notice to read the last chapter!

NKOAH: kirei? [scratches head] you'll have to educate me on that word! ^_^. Um... I didn't go that descriptive on the Anzu and Bakura scene did I...? [thinks] oh wait- well- maybe I did...! Gomen! And yeah- that lab rat deal makes sense- at least you're asserting your right to hate Anzu!

REIN-KUN: Ne? You're sending more people to read this? [hides her head]

INVADER ZIM FAN 23: [bows] arigatou!

MYSTICALGAL: [stares] 5 HOURS? [pats mysticalgal on the back] jeeze... well- I can't say "jeeze" without being hypocritical- I've stayed up "just 30 more minutes!" on fics before. I swear- they're like a drug! [glances at Ryou and Bakura] don't worry- there's still "Just Let Me Be in Love"- and whatever other YGO stories I decide to write!

ANIME_STARWIND: [chuckles] what's with all these people crying? Hehehehe....

MAYTEL: Well... yeah! ^_~.

GENERAL: Yeah- took me almost 2 months to update this... I wasn't exactly in the mood to write an NC-17... put it off- put it off- I'm gonna do it tomorrow, I swear- put it off- and then ryoubakurafan013 reminded me of it in one of her reviews... and I decided to get my butt into gear and do it! Granted, it took me nearly 3 days considering how much I re-read the whole thing trying to make it as... mushy- but NOT mushy and stuff. So the end result: mushy. I couldn't help it considering it was Ryou and Bakura's first time together! But no need to fret- I think J/B/R will probably be a lot kinkier than this chapter... ((ack- what am I saying?! [smacks self]))

Anyway- you guys all know the link to my site- but yeah- here goes again:

Once you have the pop up window, click "Fan Fiction Edits" and it's there. Hope it's alright! [prays] And yeah- thanks again for reading this fic!
