I know I'm going to get lynched, but my second reaction 
was, "Oh, no... The Great Anime Crossover from Hell!!!
meets Stephen King..."


My first reaction, of course, was that this is a very 
interesting, very well-written story. Keep it up.

Now, for the C&C...

My only real qualm is for Kodachi. She wasn't just 
knocked into sanity, she was knocked out of character.
Remember; she's STILL 'the Black Rose', no matter WHAT
she sees.

Don't ask me about how EXACTLY she would react after a
large shock, though... I've been postponing writing
'Black Rose Requiem' for WEEKS, now, for that very
same reason... -_-

If anyone has any useful ideas on the subject, could
you please send a copy to me as well as to 'magister'?
I can be reached at willmore@mail.idt.net

Apart from that, I enjoyed it. It was confusing at times,
but I'll wait until the rest of the 'fic is released
to judge whether that was intentional and/or effective.

Great writing!
