I... well...... God. You're unbelievable! This is the greatest fanfiction I have ever read! No joke! I love your easy, dramatic style of writing and the plot twists are stunning. When I started reading this series(yesterday, my eyes hurt..) I thought it was just another AU plotless "Hiei is a new student who Kurama has a crush on and they're all humans." Was I wrong! I love how you have made this like a series itself, with demons and an intricate plot. I'm interested in the character developement, and especially the affection between Kurama and Hiei. I LOVED how you did the reincarnation thing! I cried over the whole Kurama loved Hiei but died thing. and I like how Shuichi acts tougher (and sexier) now that he thinks of himself as Kurama. (I admit, I was a bit dissapointed how much he acted like a teen girl with a crush in the beginning, but he's great now! As always, the perfect mix of feminine and masculine! ^_^
Oh god!!!!! I LOOOOOOVEEE Hiei's punishment! I mean... Well, it's a cool twist, you know? Drama and angstiness, I love! When I read about the headband I thought he had gotten his Jagan, but that didn't make sense. By the way... WHERE THE HELL IS HIS JAGAN????????? I LOVE THE JAGAN!!!! Where is it? Is it going to come into the story? Hmmm...
Aqua: Wai ^_^ Sankyuu for reading so much of it! Wow! *grins* To answer your question, he doesn't have the Jagan. In the show, Hiei gets the Jagan in order to look for Yukina. In my ficcie, he and Yukina are already together. I'm not sure if I'm going to have him get it, because it was something that was extremely painful and almost killed him. Also, it lowered his youki levels by half for the rest of his life. ^^; I'll have to decide later on. So far, he doesn't need it. hehe
Yukitsu
Kurama's alive? Hiei's a HUMAN?!?!?! รณ_O ::gapes:: Kawaiiiiiii!!!!!!!!! You sure have this genius way of making a very good twist. LOL. Hiei as a human... Where is he gonna live? With Kurama? I hope so... That way, they can do their uh... catching up! *joke* But really, they should be closer.
P.S. I know you're VERY busy right now. And I thank you for all your efforts into updating atleast once a week. Arigato gozaimasu!
Aqua: *Glomps* I'll do my best to update as often as possible! I'm starting to get the hang of when I can type and stuffs, so I've been able to write more than I thought! ^_^ As for the questions about Hiei... *grins* You'll have to read.

woah, that's harsh. poor hiei... anyways, i am definitely wondering what's gonna happen next! keep on goin!!

me3gogi
oh wow! i haven't been able to get on the net to read this, but the wait was worth it! that was so cool! chapter 5 was really good, it seemed really real. i don't know if any of that stuff happened in the real story, apart from his having the mirror for his mothers life and being on the roof.
but i thought the other demon, something begining with G was also there. and i seem to remember something about a ghostslayer sword with a fight happening after this. is that just me?
sorry if i have it completely wrong, cos i have never seen a series, or manga, though i really want to. if any one lives in the uk, could any one help me out on that? it seems that any one i've met, who like them, is over the web and somewhere in america. though u said u like long reviews, i really think i shou8ld stop about now, otherwise, like na'ama (not lia - and it's na /a/ma) i'm gonna end up writing an essay about some thing or other (don't ask - just someone in my class). so - i'm going now. please continue?
well - no point me asking for that, ur gonna anyway. thank u - luv mel.
Aqua: Hai hai! Gouki, Hiei, and Kurama stole the three sacred artifacts in the series. In my story, Hiei stole the Ghostslayer a while back, and Kurama's just stole the mirror now. Gouki doesn't exist. LOL. I'd offer to make copies, but my copies are bad, plus I'm in Canada. ^^;; Gomen! I'm still trying to find episode 37 and on of the series!! I haven't seen past that *sniffle*
Mana
Man, this was short. This felt more like a teaser than a chapter. *sighs* Oh well, I guess I'll have to just wait for the next 'chapter' update for more. Interesting twist though. Hope to see more soon.
Aqua: ^_^;; Hai hai! I know, I appologize for the shortness. I had approx. ten minutes in which to write the last chapter! I'm hoping to make this chapter much longer. *is still in the process of writing*

deathmistress misaou
I would really like not to say this but... SHIT!!! Hieh's a human?! *prays drastically - sorry I didn't mean to say a bad word - over and over*
I really don't like the part in which Hieh is a human but... it's interesting.
Anyways... If you don't write anything interesting...*from a sweet smile to flaming red scary eyes* I promise you I will let Soulfinder Jaltemee hunt you down, I will torture your physical self, and I will let Spirikeeper Zorschua torture your soul. If you still continue to write such sweet things, I'll give you plenty of chocolates, teddy bears and such sweet things like you. A truckload of them!!!!!!*smiles*
P.S. I might also give you a kitten named Moonlight (the sister of my cat, Midnight).
Aqua: AHHH!! KITTY!!!! *wants a cat really really really bad* ^_^ Tho, I'd like to make a note that Hiei is not an actual human. He's still a demon. He's just had all of his demonic traits warded down. Don't worry, I'm already thinking about how I'm going to fix this! *grin*
Someone
Hiei, a human? Hah! I want to see what he's going to do about this. Please continue this fic!
Aqua: I'm waiting for the next battle. *grins* I have no idea when it's going to happen when it comes time for Hiei to actually fight!

Whoa no WAY Hiei is HUMAN??? The stupid ningen king?? Where is he going to stay?? At Kurama's house?? Update SOON(^_^)
Aqua: LOL Finally, I'm updating, ne?? ^_^;; It's taken me forever. I can garuntee that this is going to be an interesting experience for our favorite Koorime.
Neways!! Now on with the ficcie!!
(Whaa!! This would of been out yesterday, but FF.NET wouldn't work for me! *boots it* Sorry about the continual delay!!)
Reaching Your Limits: Continual Cycle
Episode 8: Adjusting. The Life of A Human
Hiei was in hell.
To put it simply, complete hell. He couldn't sense the people around him. He couldn't close his eyes and hear those walking three blocks away. The heat which usually kept his body warm no matter the temperature around him was gone, leaving him shivering in his layers of clothing. The others had said that it wasn't even the cold time of the year yet, but he felt as though he couldn't get warm enough. Every demon aspect which he'd grown accustomed to feeling was gone. He could not run faster than the average human, could not balance with the same agility that he had once.
Hiei thought it was driving him insane, slowly. Especially since he was now forced to work along side Yuusuke as a further punishment, living at Genkai's temple perminantly. Even if he had been permitted to move around freely, the Demonworld was far too dangerous. There were many demons who would not hesitate to take advantage of his weakened state, even if he did have a mental connection to Koenma which allowed the prince to detect when he would need his abilities.
After a four day absence, Hiei returned to school. Things were much more inconveniant for him, now that he actually had to rely on human devices, and Koenma had made the point that school would teach him how to use them. Although, it mostly seemed like a bother. He wanted nothing more than to curl up in a little ball and disappear.
His mood had drastically deteriorated into nothing but irate behaviour. He knew that it hurt the others, especially Yukina and Kurama, when he snapped at them. However, Hiei couldn't help himself. He was furious with the jury for forcing this situation upon him. He'd rather be dead than a human.
Listening to the teacher, since he didn't know how to write well enough anyway, Hiei absorbed what he needed of the lesson asbently. He was observant enough to catch the concepts, even if they were based off of a human stand point. In actuality, these people knew nothing of the real world. Of course, now that he was actually experiencing their lifestyle, he could understand a little better why humans were so ignorant.
They were talking about photosynthasis or something like that. The way plants grew. Out of the corner of his eye, Hiei could see Kurama snickering to himself. Although the youth was trying to hide it, it was still rather obvious. The Koorime couldn't help a quiet snort. Imagine the teacher's surprise if Kurama were to suddenly grow a garden in the classroom.
They hadn't spoken since his return yesterday. Hiei had remained mostly silent while Botan had filled everyone in on the details of his punishment. They'd all been glad to see him alive, not realizing how it felt for him to have his identity stripped away. They didn't understand what it was like, to exist as a demon your whole life, then suddenly find yourself reduced to the abilities, senses, life of a human.
Except for, perhaps, Kurama. Although he had his powers now, he'd spent sixteen years as only a human after being a demon for over five hundred. Of all the people Hiei knew in this world, the red head was probably the only one he could confide in. Yukina was always his loyal sister, but her attention had been shifting toward that brainless orange-haired youth lately. On top of that, she'd never had this experience before. While she would be sympathetic, she would not bring any ease to his mind.
Firming his decision, Hiei waited for classes to end. He would speak to Kurama, today, after school.
***
"Remember, we have a practice session on Saturday," Yuusuke stated.
Kurama nodded, pulling his books together. "I'll remember. Not like you're going to let me forget it. You've reminded me four times today," he commented.
Yuusuke grinned, wrapping an arm around Keiko's waist. "Just making sure. Genkai said that she was going to help all three of us learn to use our energy in the best way during battle. It is important for all of us to learn. You included," he replied.
"I know, I know," Kurama said, waving a hand at him with a smile.
Yuusuke and Keiko said one more goodbye before turning away, chattering as they made their way from the classroom. Almost automatically, Kurama turned his eyes toward Hiei's desk. He was surprised to see the fire demon still there. Hiei had been avoiding all of them since his return yesterday. He'd thought it more likely that the other would vanish the second class was over.
Not like he could anymore, Kurama thought with a sigh. It was obvious that Hiei was taking the loss of his youki strongly. He'd seen the demon faulter a few times a day when he'd attempted to use one of his demonic abilities, only to find it warded away. That was usually followed by a short swearing fit and Hiei storming away to the closest private place. Whether he was in the middle of class or not. The poor teacher had no idea what to do, so had let him get away with it. The look on Hiei's face throughout the day could scar a rock for life.
Making his way over to the other's desk, Kurama almost felt nervous. He didn't really know what he could say. Luckily, most of the other students had filed out already so they would be able to talk quietly but freely.
"Do you feel like talking yet?" Kurama questioned, knowing that asking if Hiei was okay would be pointless. It was obvious by the Koorime's expression that he was not.
Hiei looked up at him for a long moment, then turned his eyes away. "Perhaps not," he replied.
Kurama sat down in the empty desk before Hiei's, leaning over the seat to rest his hands on Hiei's desktop. "Still, I think it would be better. To be able to speak to a sympathetic ear. You know that you can talk to me, if you need to," he said.
"Why would I want to?" Hiei snapped, although Kurama could read the tentiveness in his eyes.
"Because, I'm someone who will listen?" Kurama suggested, smiling softly. "Because, perhaps, I'm the only one who might understand what you're going through?"
Hiei looked startled for a moment, then quickly recovered. Finally, he turned his eyes back to Kurama's own, smiling slowly. Kurama felt his breath catch in his throat at the sight. He didn't think he'd ever seen a true smile, no matter how small, grace Hiei's lips.
"Perhaps," Hiei said softly, his eyes humerous.
If the situation were not so serious, Kurama was certain he would of fainted of shock.

Reaching Your Limits: Continual Cycle
Episode 8: Adjusting. The Life of A Human
Hiei was in hell.
To put it simply, complete hell. He couldn't sense the people around him. He couldn't close his eyes and hear those walking three blocks away. The heat which usually kept his body warm no matter the temperature around him was gone, leaving him shivering in his layers of clothing. The others had said that it wasn't even the cold time of the year yet, but he felt as though he couldn't get warm enough. Every demon aspect which he'd grown accustomed to feeling was gone. He could not run faster than the average human, could not balance with the same agility that he had once.
Hiei thought it was driving him insane, slowly. Especially since he was now forced to work along side Yuusuke as a further punishment, living at Genkai's temple perminantly. Even if he had been permitted to move around freely, the Demonworld was far too dangerous. There were many demons who would not hesitate to take advantage of his weakened state, even if he did have a mental connection to Koenma which allowed the prince to detect when he would need his abilities.
After a four day absence, Hiei returned to school. Things were much more inconveniant for him, now that he actually had to rely on human devices, and Koenma had made the point that school would teach him how to use them. Although, it mostly seemed like a bother. He wanted nothing more than to curl up in a little ball and disappear.
His mood had drastically deteriorated into nothing but irate behaviour. He knew that it hurt the others, especially Yukina and Kurama, when he snapped at them. However, Hiei couldn't help himself. He was furious with the jury for forcing this situation upon him. He'd rather be dead than a human.
Listening to the teacher, since he didn't know how to write well enough anyway, Hiei absorbed what he needed of the lesson asbently. He was observant enough to catch the concepts, even if they were based off of a human stand point. In actuality, these people knew nothing of the real world. Of course, now that he was actually experiencing their lifestyle, he could understand a little better why humans were so ignorant.
They were talking about photosynthasis or something like that. The way plants grew. Out of the corner of his eye, Hiei could see Kurama snickering to himself. Although the youth was trying to hide it, it was still rather obvious. The Koorime couldn't help a quiet snort. Imagine the teacher's surprise if Kurama were to suddenly grow a garden in the classroom.
They hadn't spoken since his return yesterday. Hiei had remained mostly silent while Botan had filled everyone in on the details of his punishment. They'd all been glad to see him alive, not realizing how it felt for him to have his identity stripped away. They didn't understand what it was like, to exist as a demon your whole life, then suddenly find yourself reduced to the abilities, senses, life of a human.
Except for, perhaps, Kurama. Although he had his powers now, he'd spent sixteen years as only a human after being a demon for over five hundred. Of all the people Hiei knew in this world, the red head was probably the only one he could confide in. Yukina was always his loyal sister, but her attention had been shifting toward that brainless orange-haired youth lately. On top of that, she'd never had this experience before. While she would be sympathetic, she would not bring any ease to his mind.
Firming his decision, Hiei waited for classes to end. He would speak to Kurama, today, after school.

"Remember, we have a practice session on Saturday," Yuusuke stated.
Kurama nodded, pulling his books together. "I'll remember. Not like you're going to let me forget it. You've reminded me four times today," he commented.
Yuusuke grinned, wrapping an arm around Keiko's waist. "Just making sure. Genkai said that she was going to help all three of us learn to use our energy in the best way during battle. It is important for all of us to learn. You included," he replied.
"I know, I know," Kurama said, waving a hand at him with a smile.
Yuusuke and Keiko said one more goodbye before turning away, chattering as they made their way from the classroom. Almost automatically, Kurama turned his eyes toward Hiei's desk. He was surprised to see the fire demon still there. Hiei had been avoiding all of them since his return yesterday. He'd thought it more likely that the other would vanish the second class was over.
Not like he could anymore, Kurama thought with a sigh. It was obvious that Hiei was taking the loss of his youki strongly. He'd seen the demon faulter a few times a day when he'd attempted to use one of his demonic abilities, only to find it warded away. That was usually followed by a short swearing fit and Hiei storming away to the closest private place. Whether he was in the middle of class or not. The poor teacher had no idea what to do, so had let him get away with it. The look on Hiei's face throughout the day could scar a rock for life.
Making his way over to the other's desk, Kurama almost felt nervous. He didn't really know what he could say. Luckily, most of the other students had filed out already so they would be able to talk quietly but freely.
"Do you feel like talking yet?" Kurama questioned, knowing that asking if Hiei was okay would be pointless. It was obvious by the Koorime's expression that he was not.
Hiei looked up at him for a long moment, then turned his eyes away. "Perhaps not," he replied.
Kurama sat down in the empty desk before Hiei's, leaning over the seat to rest his hands on Hiei's desktop. "Still, I think it would be better. To be able to speak to a sympathetic ear. You know that you can talk to me, if you need to," he said.
"Why would I want to?" Hiei snapped, although Kurama could read the tentiveness in his eyes.
"Because, I'm someone who will listen?" Kurama suggested, smiling softly. "Because, perhaps, I'm the only one who might understand what you're going through?"
Hiei looked startled for a moment, then quickly recovered. Finally, he turned his eyes back to Kurama's own, smiling slowly. Kurama felt his breath catch in his throat at the sight. He didn't think he'd ever seen a true smile, no matter how small, grace Hiei's lips.
"Perhaps," Hiei said softly, his eyes humerous.
If the situation were not so serious, Kurama was certain he would of fainted of shock.
