Date: 2011-06-02 11:05 am (UTC)Anyways, loved this chapter *__________* I'm glad that Kame decided to tag along with Tanaka and go to the club anyway because it was obvious that he was finally having some fun and felt relaxed among the others. I think in this chapter it's probably the first time we get to like Kame's character and understand him a little bit better. It's nice to see his "bright" side a bit more. It's cute how he's all nervous about his crush on Takuya but I also liked how he admitted that he'd rather play a different kind of character in the movies for once because in another situation he'd never admit it. Feel a bit sorry for him for that, because he doesn't seem to be too happy or satisfied with what he does...
And then Jin arrives...
The part of "Jin smiles, like he means it" caught my attention. I love it so much when Jin smiles like that ♥♥♥
It's kind of amusing how Kame really can't help it. Like they both "hate" each other somehow and still... he sees Jin and feel extremely drawn to him and that confuses him a lot. xD Like, for a moment it seemed like he starts panicking but then magically gets up and approaches Jin and Yuuya and things... just happen. It's like he's driven by an invisible force. :)
Of course there's his paranoia kicking in when he sees Jin talk to Yuuya and immediately assumes that they talk about him -_____-'.
And honestly that conversation at the counter is the hottest thing ever. There's so much (unresolved) sexual tension going on. It's like you could light up a match with simple air in that moment. very powerful. loved it <3 Yuuya is super cute during the conversation and then there's of course Kame's obsession with Jin's lips and Jin... omg Jin surprised me! He had more than one opportunity to walk away from the two. He could have lied and said that he's picked for the night already or that he's busy elsewhere or whatever. He didn't. He was just fine with it....? o.O Wow. What happened to you Jin all of a sudden. Maybe he can't help it either? ;)
The whole Yuuya/Kame/Jin interaction was definitively something I wouldn't have expected. Kame is creative... xD But maybe it's just what they need. Yuuya seems to balance out their insanity (at least a bit). I already can't wait for next Thursday because I'm so curious about how this will turn out! And I'm looking forward to Kame's date with Tatsuya too!! :)
p.s. I had to delete this comment twice because I made so many typos -_____-'

Date: 2011-06-03 09:58 am (UTC)We're glad you like Kame at the club. That came across like we'd hoped it would. Even for us writing, it was fun to have him not so closed off and cautious all the time; he's so buttoned up all the time one might forget he can be quite cute and dorky, and here he got a chance to let some of that show.
I love it so much when Jin smiles like that
Isn't it pretty... *sigh*
It's like he's driven by an invisible force. :-)
Kame would probably share that sentiment. And then blame Jin! Yeah, he's really quite the paranoid little bunny.
Thank you for the comment on the conversation at the counter! There's a lot going on and we'd hoped we'd gotten the various strands in.
He could have lied and said that he's picked for the night already or that he's busy elsewhere or whatever. He didn't. He was just fine with it....? o.O
He would probably not use words like 'fine'. *eg* It should become clearer, you'll see -- well, we certainly hope so, because Jin hasn't suddenly got body-snatched and his personality erased. :-) And yeah, Kame is certainly... creative. We like that you say it with such enthusiasm.
Yuuya seems to balance out their insanity (at least a bit).
Yes, and... yes. Emphasis on the second half. ;-)
Thank you for this comment! We are very
nervouscurious about reader reaction/perception as we're heading into this part of the story, so this was great! ♥♥♥(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-03 01:51 pm (UTC)I hope we'll get to see more of cute and dorky Kame...? Someday....? :)
And then blame Jin!
haha. well.... of course xDDD It's aaaall Jin's fault that Kame's so confused. Jin with his gorgeous eyes and lips and hair and......! ;)
I'm even more curious now then, how this will go on!
And don't be nervous. :) I'm really hard to please (with fanfics) so the fact that I'm still here at chapter 13 has to mean something right? :) Just don't go kill akame or something like that please. And I'm very honest and straightforward so I'd let you know if something would bug me too much :) I like how you put so much thought into this and how you make it seem plausible and I never know what will happen next.
sorry for spamming you inbox .______. I should be studying but akame is so much more interesting...........

Date: 2011-06-04 02:41 pm (UTC)Just don't go kill akame or something like that please.
Damn! How did you know Kame was going to get eaten by a bear, and Jin choked on his food from laughing when he heard and was beyond saving?
We are very happy about honest feedback, and thank you for the vote of confidence! Quite a few more chapters and plot turns to go, so we can just hope we live up to it!
I should be studying but akame is so much more interesting..........
Yeah... such a shiny distraction... but we really wouldn't want to discourage you from spamming, go right ahead! :)

Date: 2011-06-02 10:51 am (UTC)That's a nice chance I think...maybe in company of Yuuya, Jin doesn't have to fear Kame's behavior and Kame can see more of Jin in another perspective...
...or Yuuya sees Kame's behavior, too and Jin doesn't have to suffer alone anymore/has at least someone to share his trouble with.
Damn, I'm so curious how this will turn out!

Date: 2011-06-02 10:51 am (UTC)That's so fitting imo^^

Date: 2011-06-02 04:21 pm (UTC)...he didn't even seem to give it as much as a try^^
I hope that was my last addition *haha*(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-03 09:58 am (UTC)We can. We did. We had to.
Glad you're so curious, though. Answers will be provided. :-)
lol and Kame and his crush on Takuya.
We wrote that before canon went and threw the two together for us! It was one of those 'omg we can't believe that just happened' things. :-)
oh and I'm really curious what happened to Jin's "I can just refuse him"...
...he didn't even seem to give it as much as a try^^
Well observed. ;-) It does seem a bit contradictory from the outside, doesn't it.
Hey, keep on adding as much as you like, we love the feedback! :-)

Make me wonder wonder what happen the next~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love this chapter^^

Date: 2011-06-02 05:05 pm (UTC)I gave up hope when Jin and Yuuya talked about kink and Jin flat-out refused, and now this *_*
but why on earth is Jin so compliant all of a sudden? I kind of expected him to walk away from Kame and Yuuya, especially when Kame proposed the threesome. Is he so desperate because he lost a regular client in the last chapter? Can't figure out what he is thinking...
Anyway, I love this story :D thank you so much for having written it!
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-03 09:59 am (UTC)Hope? HOPE? Are you sitting there hoping for kink, from us? When we are such innocent creatures? ;-)~~
Ha ha, it's hard work to figure out what Jin is thinking. Maybe he has fallen deeply and inexplicably in love with Kamenashi and is jealous of Yuuya... nah, forget that one. *g* Anyway, you'll find out.
We're really happy you like this story. Thank you for commenting!
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-03 05:49 pm (UTC)I'm really interested how Kame expects Yuuya to help him handle Jin. Or if he allows Yuuya to f*** him. Next chapter will be from Jin's POV, right?
And - I wish there were more innocent creatures such as you around here ;P
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-04 02:42 pm (UTC)Next chapter is still Kame POV. And we'll work hard on being very innocent.

Date: 2011-06-03 03:44 am (UTC)I just can't say it.
I was reading at my desk, in the office and I almost screamed with all the encounter between Kameand Kimura... then I had to stop for a while cause I was blushing madly (and I've been sick a lot lately -that's why I hadn't commented on the two previous chapters... sorry T_T-, so my coworkers were begginning to think I had a fever).
And then I read all the Yuuya part.... and now I love Tego. And YOU left me hanging at THAT point!!!!!! adsssdadsaddsadsdsa
I need it to be next thursday right now!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS FIC!!!!!
Thanks!!!!

Date: 2011-06-03 10:03 am (UTC)But we're also glad you're still around and have come back to leave us nice feedback like this. ♥ Sorry for making your colleagues worry. *g*
And then I read all the Yuuya part.... and now I love Tego.
LOL! And yay! Our work here is... no, okay, scratch that, we still have to
torture and cliffhanger peopleprovide some resolution for certain other plot strands. But we're glad you love Tego -- we're pretty fond of him too. (And wasn't that ever a surprise for us as we were writing...)KimuKame was great fun to write. And we're glad you liked it!
Hope next week will be fun too, and thank you for commenting!!

Date: 2011-06-03 04:12 am (UTC)*phew* I think I got it out of my system...
Let's see... I love Tegoshi! He's got that familiar precocious, bratty vibe, but he's also seen things and done things that make me feel sorry for him. If I'm reading this right Jin kind of threw himself into the ring to protect Tegoshi from Kame, not because he was in any way eager to hit that. *snorts* Oh Jin.. you giant... panda. >.>
Tanaka was awesome and I'm really happy that Kame has at least one friend who isn't a paid escort of some kind. Their dynamic is interesting, but not as relaxed as I would imagine, but that's probably down to Kame's shielding with everyone. And Kimura!!! OMG, *of course* he does this as a side thing next to a truly exclusive hobby and flusters everyone when he comes around. And Kame's crush on him is just too cute for words.
The beginning of the chapter transmits exactly the vibe you were going for.. so easy, relaxed, familiar even though we have no idea what the usual is for Kame. It became apparent why he considers this a safe haven where other places he limits himself to two drinks in case his tongue gets loose.
I still can't figure out who Danny is... is he a Johnny in the real world?
And I see what you did there.. with Nakamaru and Taguchi.. but then I guess Maru couldn't close the deal. And when this group starts feeling up Kame... *dies*I like this promise of Ueda and Kame in the future, but I like the promise of the ending here even more. Oh god, brain explode. can't brain.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-03 10:37 am (UTC)But aren't you glad we gave you a little break there at the end? *g*
Thank you for your comment on the Kokame friendship. That pleased us greatly too, with all the nuances you got. And Tego! Yes, he's totally bratty, but he's also been around more blocks than one might care to think about and... yes. Just right. Thank you.
Your panda assessment is... entirely right. >.< (Thank you for that too.)
And Kame's crush on him is just too cute for words.
But Kame does not have a crush!! Didn't you hear him? He is merely... appreciative of such an esteemed... person. (We love Kimura. We sometimes wish we had more of him than we do.)
Danny is an OC! (He was also the last guy we had to rename because of canon developments (http://jo-lasalle.livejournal.com/170308.html).) It's a bit of a coincidence that he's really the only OC whore, but when we were drawing up our whorehouse business plan, we figured they would have at least one Western guy for 'variety' (and he'd probably be white and blond and tall...), and we didn't really look for cast for him, because we more had him there 'on principle', and also, neither of us really knows relevant or suitable Western bands/guys. Anyway, then we ended up quite liking him. (We still can't really think of anyone who'd have been a good fit, tbh. Jimmy Mackey was an obvious question but... we don't really think he's pretty enough for the Johnny's stable.)
The management would like to express our deepest appreciation for this comment and our sincere wish the azure brain will have recovered by next week. And then...

Date: 2011-06-03 02:15 pm (UTC)I'm glad my rambling lets you know you're transmitting the right nuances.. ;)
I'm feeling an urge to call him Panda-san from now on.
Sure Kame.. you don't have a crush. *eye roll*
You know, I can't think of any tall, white blondes fitting for the role either (except maybe Orlando in his Legolas get up and oh god that just made me crack up.
And yes, there have been two LOTR references in my replies today... what is wrong with me?)I'm not sure if I ever mentioned in my own journal.. you can call me Pri. I'm just weird about making it public. :)
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-04 02:43 pm (UTC)I'm feeling an urge to call him Panda-san from now on.
It should probably be Panda-chan, given that he likes to refer to himself as 'boku-chan'...
...except maybe Orlando in his Legolas get up and oh god that just made me crack up...
Um, yeah... there's also the problem that neither of us actually find him remotely hot. :p (We are spoiled.)
If we ever come across somebody we might conceiveably cast for Danny, we'll let you know. :-)
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-03 06:11 am (UTC)This chapter must have occurred sometime after the last chapter then... yet Jin doesn't seem to try to refuse Kame at all like what he planned to do. Is he really that desperate for clients?
Kame WANTS Jin. He really likes Tatsuya, really likes Takuya, but he REALLY LIKES Jin, whether he admits it or not. When Takuya was around his thoughts weren't gushing with hopeless and nearly uncontained implications of arousal, and with Tatsuya he had a few pleasant memories and images in his head but there was no NEED in it, the way that happens when Jin is just there. He has some sort of compulsion with Jin, like he simply cannot stay away from him.
And he definitely intended to stay away from Jin; didn't even want to see him or have anything to do with him and now he's going off with him AGAIN. Yuuya too, didn't expect that. THAT will be interesting I must say.
You stopped at such a, what's the word, formidable place. There are so many possibilities of what will soon happen.. :]
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-03 10:08 am (UTC)Yeah, four days later. As for Jin's motivations, weeeeell, there are several things that play into that...
You have a good point there about the intensity of Kame's feelings with regard to Jin, in comparison to others. Compulsion is a really good word. Whether it's that he likes him or something else, he's definitely kind of obsessed. And unable to stay away.
Ha ha, yes, the possibilities. Um. >_> We hope you like what we end up doing, we wibble about these chapters a bit.
Thank you for your feedback! :D
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-03 02:30 pm (UTC)Initially as I was reading, I thought this chapter was similar to before in that previously Jin kept staring at the door waiting for Kame and in this Kame kept thinking of not meeting Jin while sitting on a couch. And I was thinking Oh well what two peas in a pod we have. Both blatantly trying to deny their attraction to the other. Both not wanting to meet the other?, that was just insane.
That was until that scene where Jin and Kame made eye contact. OMG! It was just so nerve wrecking. I am just so amazed by how you wrote that out!!!! ARGH...I was truly sitting at the edge of my sit by then waiting for what is going to happen. And I am so glad you didn't give us a cliffhanger there, well not that it was better as it is now. But if you did it back there, I would so have gone mad a whole week to find out what AKAME did to each other when their eyes met. *phew*
And before they did, Kame trying to suppress his thoughts and trying to not make a deal when he clearly was affected by Jin's presence. See I really love Kame. He was reacting so well with Tanaka, Danny, Takahisa and Yuuya. But the moment he meets Jin, its hysterical Kame. Why would he even think Jin was talking about him to Yuuya?? lol... Kame kame kame!! *shakes head* I would think Jin would have frozen by the mere mention of Kame by Yuya.
And the biggest shocker was Jin reciprocating Kame. Initially I missed Kame in the previous chapter I was hoping to read more about him here BUT ("Jin opens his mouth, closes it. Opens it. "I'm… not busy.") --->I so would have wanted to know what Jin was thinking then. Kame accepts??? What happened to his whole plan of avoiding Jin and waiting till his sunday date with Tatsuya???? Are we going to get some jealousy issues next chapter?? I wonder....
Oh and I totally love the Kimukame interaction!! Kame so does have a crush on Kimutaku!! lol. I have been a fan of both since 2008 so I got really excited when reading that! lol xD
Thanks for sharing this!!! Woah, I think the two can keep denying their attraction forever and I won't believe it! ♥
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-04 02:54 pm (UTC)That's an intriguing observation, about the parallel between Jin 'waiting' for Kame and Kame constantly thinking of avoiding Jin. We can't say we consciously tried to show that, but it's completely true that they are each as bad as the other.
Where you said you were glad we didn't give you a cliffhanger? WE ALMOST DID THAT! We discussed the possibility for a good while before rejecting it. So, you have excellent instincts, and we are kind and gracious creatures who don't torture our readers... too much.
And yes, Kame is a bit delusional. Or a lot delusional. :-) What's going on at the bar there... well, Jin's motivations will become clearer, we hope, and as for Kame, he's not just delusional, he's also kind of helpless...
Yes, we noticed your KimuKame icon, it makes us smile. We didn't even know about their good relationship when we started writing this! (There are so many things we didn't know! We were still quite new in the fandom, and, well, two and a half years is a long time.)
Thank you for your lovely comment!

Date: 2011-06-04 07:14 pm (UTC)I hope you don't get angry when I say this fic really frustrates me ._.
Argh those guys... XD Why are they so hateful against each other, really XD
Jin's so lame not only with Kame but especially with Kame! XD I mean it's understandable and stuff but it's like a tiger who lost it's teeth TT___TT (Though he was so cute with Yuuya in this chap! It was like my heart bloomed! ♥) Maybe Kame feels same as me, because I want to kick his ass everytime he's such a slow-poke but at the same time I want to kick Kame in the guts because he's such an asshole! He's so mean and false and argh >.<
But it's so funny how they both can't stop thinking about each other. Not really in a good way though, it feels more like they're obsessed with each other. Can't wait for for thouse feelings to develop to love v.v
Kame seems the typical guy who smiles at you but slashs your guts open in his fantasies. That's creepy really XD
Kame's so nice when with Kimutaku (lol the fanboycrush lol) or Yuuya. Regarding the last one I wonderd since his first appearance which Yuuya it is! His flamboyant gay attitude reminds me of Tegoshi but then there are a lot of others like Takaki and just to give this little flirt a face, I wanted to make sure!
I'm in an inner conflict about those long chapters about their everyday live, really. Normally I read Multichaps then when it's finished or promises to finish soon. Then I really appreciate if there are some insights in normal live/past/whatever as well, not only loveydovey and fucking. Your fic would be great regarding this point, but now when I only get to read so little every week it's so unsatisfying if there's up to zero development in Akames relationship! It leaves me craving and on the edge XD
I'm someone who reads a fic with (estimated XD) ~600 word pages in 1 1/2 day if it's good because I'm so engrossed and just can't wait so you girls really give me a hard time here XD
But I try to cope with it! y.y
Like ever I'm so unsatisfied I'm gnashing me teeth here, but well you could take that as some kind of praise XD
I really think this fic has high potential and I wish I would have waited with beginning to read it until you've finished. But now I already started and I can only control myself and wait for chapis to pile up for so long XD
I expect one hell of a sexy sex in the next chapter, just so you know! :D You guys wrote one of my most loved sexscene (which I still haven't commented yet because I'm such a forgetfull lazyass) so I'm really curious of what you'll make out of this yummy threesome :)
Did I forget sth I wanted to say? x__X I lost track... I'm not good with commenting. To messy as you can see XD
Well... if I did I hope I remember to squeeze it into my next comment x__X

Date: 2011-06-06 07:31 pm (UTC)We apologize for your frustration. (Only not really. Hey, we had to live with those messed-up guys for two and a half years, it's only fair we spread the misery around, no? *g*)
because I want to kick his ass everytime he's such a slow-poke but at the same time I want to kick Kame in the guts because he's such an asshole! He's so mean and false and argh
We hope you won't get angry when we say that this pleased us a lot. See above re: sharing the misery. But also, yeah, Kame is not at his best here. Sometimes he is quite sweet, and he tries, but he definitely gets out of control around certain people and the results are not nice. >.<
Yuuya is Tegoshi! The fact that there are so many Yuuyas around (Kame once played one in a drama too!) caused us some headaches, but it really wouldn't make sense for Yuuya to be the only one announcing his last name, so we figured we might have to explain. But we are pleased that you recognised him by his more obvious character traits. :-)
Your comment on the everyday lives chapters is really interesting. We both *like* detail -- well, so much is obvious, or we wouldn't have ended up with 400k words on this -- in the stuff we read too, and with an AU like this there's also the fact that we have to work to even build that whole world... but we can totally see why the Akame-lite chapters can feel frustrating if there's only one a week. We try not to go too overboard, and while there will be some more chapters without the two of them interacting, they will become fewer, and this was the longest non-interaction gap, we promise.
What was your most loved sex scene??? Come on, now you have to spill, or two poor authors will be left ~wondering forever~... you wouldn't want that on your conscience?
This was an excellent comment, btw. we'll gladly take more of the kind *g* Messy is not a problem at ALL and we are sooo intrigued by people's reactions, it's great to read all this stuff, even if it's about how terribly frustrating we are. :-)
Thanks for stopping by, and we hope you'll, erm, enjoy the stuff to come.

Date: 2011-06-06 08:52 pm (UTC)Hah! I so knew it's Tegoshi!
Funny thing my friend and I started to have this Akametegopi foursome/... quadrangle(?) thing, so you've 3/4 now XD
But I won't be unhappy if there won't be any lol. I just want Akame! So get a grip, Kame -.-
Hm, so it would frustrate you not to know, ne? I kinda like the thought of getting my revenge. No really, I could get off to it.
Bittersweet Justice... Sounds like a fic-title
But yeah reminds me, that I wanted to leave a comment there XD I bet as soon as I posted this commend I will have forgotten about it again...
Normally I really appreciate everyday life chapters! In my opinion the depth of the story lies in developing specific characteristical traits for the charas as well as the surroundings (incl. side-charas). I know it's not easy to create a new world especially for the fic (but I love to do it lol) so I have to pay you my respect
But gaaaaaaaaaaah!!! The non-interaction gap preys on my mind >.<
Is there a way to corrupt you girls into sending me the whole fic now? :x We could say I'm like the fifth beta reader or sth as an excuse :D
(Okay just kidding
- not)Oh, I'll definitely enjoy the s...tuff to come.
Btw, I noticed that my keyboard doesn't function as well anymore, so I'm very sorry for missing letters in addition to my bad grammar and... everything XD But as long as I can get my point across, ne? :P
Countdown: 3 days left....
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-07 07:34 pm (UTC)YES, it would have frustrated us, so thank you for not going through with your evil revenge plan and actually letting us know. Comment on that comment to follow.
Unfortunately the story is really still too messy in places to be sent to anybody. Once we'd lost our final beta, we kind of decided it didn't matter if there were still large brackets with words or half-sentences missing sometimes, as long as we got the plot moved forward. That's why editing is taking it's own sweet time just now.
You're definitely getting your point across! Thank you!
(2 days left. Authors are debating comma placement... >_> )

Date: 2011-06-05 04:47 am (UTC)OMG...jin kame and tego?! i cant even begin to explain how much im looking forward to that!
jin and kame...their interaction is just so...the way kame is so drawn to jin...while jin seems to be practically scared shitless everytime he encounters him.
when will they ever have a comfortable time together...i wonder?!
thanks for the update...cant wait til next week for sure!
(no subject)
Date: 2011-06-06 07:31 pm (UTC)Hee, so is Kame. (And Tego.)
Glad you liked the Kimutaku! We had fun writing that too. And yeah, 'scared shitless' is one way of describing Jin's knee-jerk reaction... (We confess we never planned for it to get *quite* this bad. Sometimes stories and characters have a mind of their own.) We promise it will get better... eventually.
Thanks so much for the comment, and we hope that you'll like this week's offering too... ahem. *wibble*
