Wow! What an awesome story so far! I can't wait to see what happens next!

I decided to post my comment here this time instead of at curious_spells because I've been trying to put the pieces together in my head... and I didn't want to spoil it for anyone just in case I happened to guess correctly...

Would it be incorrect to guess that Rose and Eos are the same? Eos is often described as having "rosy" fingers -- and they both bared their teeth at Angel in the story.

Is Rose some kind of mortal seeming for Eos... just like Robin appears one way on Earth and in his "fae/youkai" form in Angel's dreamscape?

At first I thought maybe Robin was Rose's lover... but now, I am wondering if maybe Robin had been collecting men for Eos all along? Eos is often described as having many lovers... (Or maybe Robin does both?)

At the pizza place, Robin told Angel that Angel was his first... and yet there have been many references in the story to Robin having many boy toys... and then there's Eos' reference to "Did he send you to me"...

I was thinking that maybe Robin would collect/seduce the lovers, then hand them over to Eos/Rose -- but this time, he happened to like Angel -- so he doesn't want to hand him over... which is why Rose/Eos is so angry? And is the necklace some kind of charm to keep her away? And maybe Robin told Angel to stay out of his room to protect him from Eos?

And then I've been trying to figure out if/where Eric, Marco and Mrs Benoit fit into the bigger story -- and failing miserably. -_-V

I was thinking that maybe some of them had Saiyuki counterparts? Eric as Banri? Marco as Dokugakuji? Mrs Benoit as Kanzeon Bosatsu? But nothing seemed completely right...

Please feel free to laugh at my silliness if I am 110% off here. ^_^;; I've just been trying to put the pieces together... and having a hard time.

Thanks again for posting (and putting up with my long, rambling comment.) Your story has me completely hooked!

Thank you!

You hit some nails on the head there and some not, but I think I'm not going to specify which because I'm evil it's fun to actually have people speculating about this. I never expected it to get that sort of reaction. And things will probably get clearer in a few chapters. I hope!
