Now this was a fantastic read. Thank you so much for this. Man, you should tag this with some transformation too! Peeps need to see that!

I really really appreciate it! A lot of love went into writing and illustrating it :D Also, tags fixed! Good suggestion.

Very nice tale! though I kept expecting the kitsune to hand her powers (and kitsuneness) to Wakiita near the end :P

Ha, I was thinking.... they would hook up

Oh, an interesting twist that would have been! :3

That was a great read. One can see how much work and love you put into the whole thing. This is one of those tales I could read to my future children Thanks

That is so very thoughtful of you to say! There's no higher compliment. Thank you for reading and enjoying it so!

That was definitely a professional story. It's like one of the short stories that I read in the books of my class.

Wow, thanks!! Maybe I have a fallback in case I ever forget how to art :P

This story is so absolutely wonderful it takes my breath away. LN you have really really outdone yourself - now you need to illustrate it.

Thank you so much ^_^ And truly, thank you for inspiring me to write this! Your penmanship and encouragement brings out the creative spark in so many of your readers :)

*blushes... you're way too kind LN and you're so very talented....

A true delight! Very well told, beautifully narrated and with such an authentic feel! I commend you on a most excellent work. The time you spent on this was very much worth it. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I really appreciate your kind words Wirewolf! I confess I deferred to Clavell for guidance on some of the nuances of writing about medieval Japan ;) A good chunk of the time spent writing this was shared with reading his enormous (but good!) book. Thank -you- so much for reading the story!

Delicately told is the best description - and complement - I can give on this. Very easy reading, and excellently done.

That means a lot to me! Plot and story aside, finding an accessible writing style can be a challenge in and of itself. Thank you, and thank you too for reading!

The link doesn't work for me

Do you have Adobe Reader or another program that can read pdf's?

yes

Huh! Very strange! Sadly I can't reproduce the issue on my end, so I'm not sure what to tell ya :( Sorry!

Got it on my ipod, by the way this a good story.

Oh good! Glad you found a workaround, and thanks!!!

Omg, it took me almost 2 months, but I FINALLY was able to read this! Amazing! I was trying not to cry around the end I was so moved! This has actually inspired me to try and improve my own writing and give my own Kitsune the stories he deserves! He's been on plenty of Adventures in RPs but maybe I should come up with something all my own.. -w-

Aw, thanks a ton! It's amazing to hear that it's inspired folks- I'm still blown away by that ^^ Good luck developing your character's story, and happy writings!

It's funny how we as artists around the world, whatever our art may be, have such a tendency to undersell our skills and ability. We're like, "Aww, this is crap, nobody'll like this..." or something along those lines but next thing we know, we've got a whole bunch of people telling us otherwise. Admittedly, I haven't really reached that point yet as I haven't really figured out that whole 'getting attention' business, but I'm holding out that someday I might be popular. owo Anyways, yeah, the story was wonderful and I really fell in love with the character of Wakiita. I'm sorta beating myself up over not having read it sooner. It's been sitting around as a tab on my browser for about 2 months now. Next time I write something, maybe you'll tell me what you think if I throw it your way?

Absolutely!
