I often wonder if you, and your fellow authors, have any idea what effect your words can have on your readers.  For instance, I read through the last few chapters that I'd missed, owing to some Real Life upheaval, and was both dashed into sorrow and uplifted into hope with each successive one.  I cried over Kaede's passing, chuckled over the Sess/Kag fluff, and soared over the revelation that Rin was Miko as well.  I laughed at the Checkers scene, and can hardly wait to read about what InuYasha will have to say.  All in all, I feel like I've been on a roller coaster ride this evening... and that is something that only really GOOD writing does for me.  Thank you SO VERY MUCH for your patience with the apparent lack of reviews, as well as your perseverence in continuing this engrossing read.  I, for one, appreciate your dedication ENORMOUSLY! :-) ~~Wiccan~~

Oh Kami, I hate you Lady Sianna! This Vou despises you so for causing tears to form, both when Kagome and Kaede died. This one is so moved by the chapters concerning Kaede, is because it is from first-hand experience that this Vou knows what Kagome was going through. This Vou lost a grandmother 5 years ago on April 6th. The date is drawing ever closer and it is because of that this Vou cried more than usual....

And this Vou does not hate you as you are a brilliant writer.

Please, the wait for an update is starting to already become bothersome!

This chapter was hard to read, because of it's sadness, but I think it was a good thing. Kaede's character is more important than what most of the fics describe. She's a center 'pillar' of the InuTachi, and we tend to forget it too easily.

I even cried. But, as masochistic as it may sound, I really liked the chapter, because conveying this kind of emotions the right way is not so simple a task.

Good work lass. As always, I look forward to the next installment of your story.

I really love your story!! The characters seem very real:)

Awwwww, poor Lass!

Well, I guess I've been a lurker long enough lol. This story is awesome, I love it. It's deep emotionally speaking, the characterisations are accurate and believable (and one knows this Hikari does not like OOCness), especially Kagome. She's wisdom and youth all in one, something I believe can be a hassle to create successfully.

And you've done it. I'm hooked. XD

I am so far behind in this story!  

You have done a really nice job at making Naraku into a scheming creep.  You just want to shake that poor girl and make her see the manipulation he's weaving around her.  Fortunately, fate has taken a hand... for now.  

Your dialogue is very well done, as are your descriptions.  The flow of your story is smooth and unfolds at a nice pace.  Your characterizations are well done too!  

Now back to catching up on the chapters...

Silly girl!  I see nothing about this chapter to hate on.  Yes, it's a 'filler,' but those are necessary to set up for the action yet to come.  Every story has them, they are necessary to the plot development... just cuz there isn't a ton of Sess/Kag interaction, or loads of other excitement, doesn't mean it's not a good chapter, 'k?  My ugly beta-eye caught a couple of spots where punctuation was a problem, but that is about all I saw that one might quibble with.  Necessary explanations, setting up for future action, advancing the story along... all in all, good stuff!!  SMILE, okay?  ;-) ~~Wiccan~~

OOH the plot thickens. What is Sir Fluffly up to? Flirting like that. Ahh, love the interaction. Can't wait.for more.

I paused for a moment to leave a review.  I've never been so happy to Sesshomaru name pop up randomly before. I even did a happy dance.  I couldn't stand the idea of Inu-puppy crushing Kags hopes for the future. OK, now back I go to finish the rest, peace!!
