I'm so glad that you read it anyways. Heh, see, there are fics for every mood ne? I can so understand you though. Usually, I like fluff and romance and happy endings and everything, but sometimes, I do need something dark (although it happens rarely). Still, I think this isn't THAT dark ne?

Haha, is it really so different from what we write usually? I think we both totally fell in love with the idea that the two, Die and Kaoru, are totally at ease with each other and that there is this deep trust that the other wouldn't cheat (I don't mean physically here, but more like mentally). And I'm (we're) glad that you liked that fact too^^

I personally pitied Toshiya a lot. He's the human side of this story and although he's a bit exaggerated, he is the real vicitim if one thinks about it. Although I do like it that everybody seems to be on the vampires' side (since that was kinda the intention). It's easy to make one fall for the bad guys, huh?

I won't shoot you, dear, because I personally (and I think fonulyn too) loved the last scene. We wanted Toshiya to Die with the knowledge that he never really had a chance. And I personally like the fact that Kaoru never lied to him, even warned him that he's only the pet and still Toshiya's naive side didn't want him to believe.

You know, instantly we wanted to include in the end that Die bends down to dying Toshiya and kinda admits that it has been him who has killed Shinya, but we couldn't make it fit anymore (since we forgot about that while writing that scene) and so left it to the reader's imagination.

Thank you for your nice comment, dear. Since I know you're critical, it means a lot to us that you liked it and that it indeed was a good surprise! *hugs & hands cookies*
