well.. you know.. he was kind of young... underaged... i think it
was more of a crush than anything else.. and if nothing had happened, it
would have passed... but something did happen..........

i don't htink so... it think it would have been closer to a
platonic thing because annerose really seemed... out of it after her
service ot the emperor.... but wait a little while before i get a little
farther on my view of life.. which doesn't count for much since i haven't
read the books....

yah, i do think it would've put reinhard in a strange position,
but it's not like he didn't know it.. he had feelings about it before,
just never outright asked either of them... torn? K? well, maybe... but
that depends on how you look at the whole relationship to begin with.. (i
can't believe i'm writing to this list... i'm woefully unqualified..)

me doth believe that K just had a simple crush on annerose..
happens to all guys, non? so it might have passed. but then she was taken
to work at the palace.. and that's when R and K really got their
relationship underway... i think one of hte main reasons K likes annerose
so much is because he obviously hung around R a lot while they were in the
academy together... and probably listening to R talk day in day out about
getting his sister back and how wonderful she was slowly took root in K
mind.. this isn't a joke! after all, i've seen myself gradually like Yuu
Yuu Hakusho just by listening to the people of the YYH mailing list babble
a lot about how wonderful the characters were.... i think in some ways
that R would've been insulted in K didn't love his sister becuase she's so
wonderful and he had been pushing his opinion about it for so long...
but an actual relationship...? well, i think R would be a little more
iffy about that... def if they wait a little while for R to adjust to the
idea of having his sis back, K could move in... but.. if they did get
together, i think R would be just a little jealous... of K....

NOT TO SAY THAT THEY'RE LOVERS!!!!!! me has great respect for K
and does not think in that way..... as said in the above, yah, maybe K
would be torn between the two but i doubt it.. he seems like the type that
can love more than one person... and not in the romantic way when it comes
to R... as for R though... he's a bit ont eh selfish side, i hate to
admit.... (me likes R too, but it's true!) he woud be more distant...
but that's not just because he misses his sis.. yah, he may _think_ that's
the reason, but he's been without her for half of his life (10 yrs)... at
the same time, he's spent the last half of his life with K.... his best
friend.. the one that would support him even if the whole world was
against him... i think that those most recent years are most likely to
affect him.. and for those last 10 years.. he's had K all to himself.. as
a friend that is... and i think everyone gets a bit possessive about their
friends... so i think R would be kind of jealous...

but leaning on oberstein? well.... it might happen.. and it's
very likely... but that's only if we don't take into account K's
reaction... what do you think he's going to do when he sees R feeling
jealous? is he going to say that R is wrong and that he shouldn't be
feeling that way? oh no! that's just not very Kish.... more likely than
not, K would sacrifice his relationship with annerose to spend more time
with R... and with them taking over the universe together, R would
gradually become used the the idea of K being farther away from him.. so
yes, they'd gradually become more distant..but depending on oberstein?
well, as he said, he wasn't looking for friendship in that man... as long
as K is still there to be leaned upon, R would be defensive and wouldn't
give up K... after all, look at all the arguments he gets into with
oberstein about his friendship with K.... and although he and K had quite
afew disagreements near the end... it was bound to pass.. and i think they
were well on their road to making up when K died... :_( if he hadn't
died... slowly.. gradually.. K would've been married off..... :_( and i
think evenutally R would actually _Like_ the idea of having K as a
bro-in-law... but then, maybe i'm being too optimistic... or maybe i'm
just feeling a little high on Kircheis right now.....
