is it just me, or your reviews are acting screwy? they seem to be disordered O_O and this thing just cut down my review T_T
lets see what was cut down...
well, I said something about Syaoran and the deal between Yue and Touya. Yes, Yue cannot give him Sakura because the deal with Touya, that's what Syaoran cant remember. Oh, and I also said I re-read the whole thing. In retrospect, I don't know why in chapter 37 I thought Yue was talking to somebody that wasnt Touya, probably because I forgot about Yue's dreams. A very nice touch having the dreamscapes in the same dimension, gives the feeling that they'll walk right into each other's dreams at any moment (O_O dreamseers) Will clow bother Touya again soon, or will he give the poor boy some time to rest that awful series of unfortunate events (XD no pun intended)
I hope you develop Touya's powers more than the canon. What good is for him to see things, when he can do nothing else? I was just noticing that now Sakura can fight, and that will fit in nicely once she starts using magic. I'll join the group, finally some use for that mail; And I have not forgotten the promised art, its just that you write faster than I can finish it (which is very good indeed ^_^) and college is being a bitch. See you t the group ^_^

Hey. Nice, calming update. I like it. I needed a chapter that didn't make me cry. This may be my last review for a bit because I'm traveling for a while but I'll make sure to catch up later. I love your characters so much and it just struck me why today. Their personalities are not only multifacited, but also contradictory. Lots of people write colorful characters without showing how contradictory people can really be. For instance, you portray Yue in both selfless and outrageousy selfish ways. The same with Touya. The saddness Yue displays at the beginning is a beautiful contrast to his denial of love in the middle. He makes no connection between the intensity of his reactions and his feelings. (Although, I do admit its well past the point where I just want to slug them both. No one but a child obsesses over a toy and even a child only obsesses over a loved toy. My nephews break their toys all the time, much to my sisters dismay, and it really doesn't phase them a bit unless its that 'special' toy.)
This story is really becoming one about deciet. Touya's keeping the severity of his abuse from his sister and is lying to himself about his feelings, Sakura is lying to Touya about Li, Li is lying to Sakura about the continuatioon of the plan to buy her, Yue is so far into self-denial, he could write THE definitive book on it and do I even have to mention your original characters. Kero seems to shoot from the hip so thats one honest person. The whole thing is turning very Shakesphere. I don't know if its a comedy of errors like Much Ado About Nothing or a tragedy full of misunderstandings like Othello, but it has all the earmarks of classic storytelling.
Editting the story into an original novel sounds fun. I wish you the best of luck. I'm sure you'll do fine. The story has to already be approaching novella length if not beyond.
I'll be sure to join the yahoo group when I return from New York. As always, great work.

So Yue has a Cellural crystal, huh. Nice. Loved Kero chewing him out and Ralen trying not to blow when he had to give Sakura her own room, classic. And I also like Syaoran bribing Kero with tarts, that was good. Oh, yes, a very enjoyable chapter, especially the final scene, hehhehheh. At least he's told Sakura why he didn't ask when he had the chance, though it'll be interesting to see where this goes from here, oh yes. Can't wait for #42, even though you did lie about Syaoran actually getting to have sex with Sakura this chapter. Oh, well, in time, in time. Laters!

Oh my! I had been checking back every day for an update, but I didn't last night; I guess I should have. XD Ohhh Syaoran was so close, but good boy! I was worried if he'd really done something they would be in so much trouble... Touya would probably be the most pissed though. Haha! When I read Yue asking what could she possibly do, I wanted to say something like "Wouldn't you like to know?" XD Oh, I loved this chapter. Two people have pointed out that Yue loves Touya. Both of them denied it though... The poor things. I hope that one of them just confesses already. It's about damn time. Anyhow, I wonder about that feeling Syaoran has...about the three of them--Yue, Touya, and Sakura. The three of them are awfully cute together though. As though it's a love triangle XD except neither of them will touch Sakura in that way. Like she's something precious to them both now. Hmmm. Anyway, I'm very grateful for Kero's character, except I don't like him not liking Touya. Then again they never got along in the anime/manga either so it would make sense to give them a reason to not like each other here. (Or maybe it was just that Touya was always suspicious of Kero in the anime...)
Anyhow, I cannot wait until the next chapter!! I'm so glad you made a community, too! I hope that we have some fun there. Of course with some editing, I would be lovely to get this published. It would be a lot of hard work though; I think you should go for it and try your hardest!

Oooh Li. I really liked the spotlight on them in this chapter; it was very interesting. And the part where Yue was talking to Keroberos (I love his character too!! This story made me rewatch The Sealed Card movie yesterday, and I'd almost forgotten how great Kero was with his stampede downstairs and all: "IS THAT CAKE???") was a little suspenseful for me; for a minute I'd thought Touya was listening in when Yue told Keroberos that Touya was just a "toy".
Joined the group, looking forward to the next chapter!

OMFG this chapter was EXCELLENT!! I NEVER would've guessed the VOID of ALL things!! That was an FUCKIN GENIUS plot twist!! I was a ZOMBIE for this thing!! My question honestly though is: why? Why when that one Void sentinel had Touya in its grasp... why did it hesitate to kill him before Yue killed it? I'm guessing this means that Void's about to take an interest in Yue's pleasure slave cuz that just means it's found a way to get to him? I'm eagerly waiting for the next chapter!!

And btw... kill Ralen... I could punch that sonofabitch... I could KILL him for leaving Sakura to die!! And Poor Syaoran!! I felt for him cuz he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare... poor boy!! I hope that all works out too!

All i can say is that i really can't wait for more.
you have consistently good writing with wonderful characterization and a fully realized AU.
there's just really too much to review in the last two chapters, so you'll just have to settle for this:
'ooooooooooooooooooh.'
