OUTSTANDING chapter. I absolutely loved it. Once again, you characterization of Inuyasha was on the money. And since we just found out that we will get to see even more of him in the anime today (Hallelujah!), it was even more fun than usual! I was thrilled about the news as you can tell, and your great characterization just topped it off. :D This is a really good story. You walk that narrow edge between vulnerability and toughness in Inuyasha's character better than any other fan fic writer I've seen, chica. So, I can't wait to see how you finish this one off. And I have no complaints AT ALL about more updates to such a great story. I'm just gonna look forward to it.
Author's Response: *Beams all silly-like*
MS. GODDESS! You have no idea how much I'm grinning. ---> :D I'm glad you liked it -very glad! This one gave me the business, but I feel a lot better about it now. Characterization is something I butcher all the time, but in this, they're a little closer to canon, which is a miracle for me. >.> But I'm comfy with writing them this way, even if this is a little fluffier than my usual stuff.
I heard about the new eps a while ago, but I didn't want to start squeeing until something was in stone. I can't wait to see them. Honestly, I always liked the anime more than the manga, lol. Maybe we'll even get our kiss!
I'm working on the next chapter, so here's to hoping that I get it out quick!

OMG. Sooo good! Poor Inuyasha though. I wish that he hadn't have had it so rough in his childhood. Buttt... I'm totally loving this little fiction. =] Keep up the grand work!
Author's Response: Jenn! <3
Thanks for the lovely review! I agree, Yasha's character is so sympathetic. There are people like him in the world -sort of lost after life in the system. But at least he had Kaede and that helped mold him into a better person. New chap on the way! :D

Kawaii!!!!!!!!!!!! Heaven has got nothing on Ice cream and hot makeout sessions! How is it fair that Kagome gets to lick ice cream off Inu??!! Sigh...
Interesting about Izayoi. I have to wonder though if Inu really knows what went on with her. It seems odd that she would have a locket with a photo of her son in it if she was a heartless child abandoning bitch. Maybe she is one of those people that got forced out of the province so that the rich could have beach property. I guess I'll see soon!
Loved it! And love all the references to Disney! They are my comfort movies. :D
Happy Writing!
Author's Response: Tina!! :D
Thanks for the review. *squeezes ya* Don't some chicks have all the luck?! She's licking his fingers and we get to just watch. (-_-)
No comments on Izayoi; we're too close to the end, but that was a good question that will get answered shortly!
And aren't Disney movies the best mood lifters? I watched A Goofy Movie while I writing this and it made me so giddy! *puts on The Little Mermaid.* Can't get enough! :D

That was a wonderful chapter. Somehow, I missed the last one. I loved the comical banter between the two. It's sad to see the portrayal of a bitterness of Inu toward Izayoi. I wasn't expecting that. I love that Inu and Kags have so much in common though. It's nice and will make things a lot easier for him. ^_^ Sweet chapter.
Author's Response: Thank you, Snow! I didn't know you were reading this one. :)
*does happy jig*
I was looking at the next chapter of Treasure on the Tide earlier (half-written) and thought of you. I hope all is well! (and thanks for all the support with that story. I appreciate it greatly.)
The bitterness toward Izayou is definitely sad. I'm not that wild about writing it, to be honest. I always see their relationship as sacred. However, the plot commands it. >.<
Thanks for the bid of confidence. I wasn't pleased with this chapter, but it has gotten a nice response, so that makes me feel tons better. I'm writing the next now, and I'm hoping to cover lots of ground! :D

And thanks for patiently waiting for IHE. I told both you and Midoriko-sama that it was coming when I'm done with this, and that's a promise. Just hold out a little bit longer! ^_^

Oh, girl. Oh, girlie-girlie-girl....
You know this rocked me. For realz.
The fluffy-fluff, the cutesy flirting, the smexy seduction - this chapter had it all! And of course, the drama - when InuYasha brought up Izayoi, my heart was bleeding. For some reason I had assumed she was dead, and while I'm still not ruling that out, I'm eager to see what happens when Rin finds her, dead or alive, and how InuYasha will react. That is going to be monumental!
And that kiss! *fans self* Somebody get me some paper towels!
(Sorry - totally had to cop off the Mistress there!)
This was wonderful and totally worth the short wait. What an awesome start to my weekend, during whch I hope to be finishing up some writing of my own! 0.~ Stunning work, my girl! *kisses*
Author's Response: LINA!
Girl, this chap whooped my ass. I think it was definitely a case of over-revising. I did that with KOR once and it made me take a big hiatus. SMC, too, so I'm really hoping that doesn't happen with this. >.< Even after I posted it this morning, I went back and wrote a few things over. It's horrid. *cries* But I'm so glad you enjoyed it despite the charred prose, lol. (It dun cooked too long!)
No hints on Izayoi, but you're not far off the mark. He has realities to deal with, for sure. But he's so hurt inside, you know? That will be his test -can he expel the hurt and self-loathing?
The kiss. That was particularly tough. First kisses should be amazing, and I always try to bring the reader into the emotions and not just the physical. I think I finally made it work, but it showed me that my citrus needs a shot in the arm. I haven't written any in so long that I'm forgetting how! *cries harder*
I've already started the next chapter. I don't want to let my irritation with myself fester and dissolve into block, so I'm already pounding it. Not easy, though, because my mind is still angry with the results of the last one, lol. Ah, the weird effects of the writer that has probably written too much. <.<
HUGS & SMOOCHES FROM NY!

I couldn't help but smile throughout this whole chapter. I think you did a fabulous job on it! The interaction between Yasha and Kagome was so adorable and sweet and utterly charming. I love the dialogue between the two - so playful, yet filled with such undeniable sparks. And the sexual tension was like OMG. I just wanted Kagome to invite Yasha into her bed. NOW. haha. "... InuYasha destroyed all distance, leaving nothing between them but raw intent." LOVED this line. This is why you're so damn good at the writing, sweets. You don't need the lemons to get your point across. You have such a wonderful way of combining hot with sweetness that just melts my heart for your characters.
I can see where the next chapter's going and I have to admit that I'm like "Yay!!!" 'cuz I love my silver-haired Yasha. ^_^ And that dog reference made me giggle so hard (and you know why!) LOL.
'K, better go back to cleaning the house (had to stop & read!) ^_^ I'm gonna try to mail tonight and catch up with ya.
*HUGS & LUFFSS*
Author's Response: MY SAYU!!
You have NO idea how happy I am that you liked this chapter. Of everything thus far, this one gave me the most trouble, but I blame myself. I over-revised it. I kept getting really nitpicky and you know how that goes. >.< By the time I stopped revising, I was mentally exhausted and totally pissed at myself. So not doing that next time. Perfectionism is overrated!
I was going for playful banter -definitely, but they're still twenty-somethings that are attracted to each other, so I was hoping to get that across WITHOUT having to change the PG-13 to R. >.> Not that it may not still happen. <.<
Kidding! I said I'd write something fluffy and I'm determined. The dog thing -you have no clue as to how tempted I was to go there, lol. I still might! It's too funny not to share. *formulates way to get that in*
The next chap has to cover a lot of ground if I'm going to end this on time. I'm both excited and dreading it; I have a thing about ending stories. I have no idea why, but they just never come easy for me, and it sucks! :D But I'll try and get another chapter this weekend. Not sure if it will be the last, or next to last, but I'm gonna work hard!

open mouth insert foot... loved the unintentional inuendos she kept spewing.
one wonders how she talked him into going home with her and the conversation they had on the drive. i was like-- oh! they're at her apartment? *scratching head*
he is both gentleman and rogue-- great combination. how is she going to be able to convince him that she accepts what he is-- yeah, i know you're getting to it and i will wait patiently (at least i'll try).
sensual prose-- i had to stop and look at something else so that i could calm down a bit. you are quite gifted in that... one doesn't have to read lemons if just getting to the kiss elicits such warmth --twice
deep breaths.
ginny
♥
Author's Response: Ginny! ^_^
Insert foot indeed! That part was patterned after myself a bit. When I'm really nervous around someone, all the wrong stuff starts flying out of my mouth, lol. Well, when I'm nervous or pissed. When I'm angry I react before I think, which is actually worse... O.O
I love this: he is both gentleman and rogue. What a slam dunk! That's him in a nutshell. He's 27 years old, so he knows what he wants, and even how to get it, but as you've also said, he's a gentleman and a broken soul. He doesn't like who/what he is, so no matter what he knows, he has the potential to ruin things for himself.
Not mentioning the drive to Shikon Falls was deliberate. I mentioned earlier in the chapter (through Sango) that Kags was "six hours away in a strange man's house." Then, I wrote 6 and a half hours later at the beginning of the new section :P It was one of those things where I knew I'd stump y'all (going into sleeping arrangements), but would also have y'all like, "Oh... that's what she did." :D
I like the term sensual prose, too. *saves it* That kiss didn't come to me easily (it's been a while since I've "smutted"), but if you liked it, I'm wildly happy. (seriously!) I'm already on chapter 5. With any luck, you'll see it this weekend -and I hope yours is a relaxed one! <3

We're at the home stretch now, and ai'm hoping to get the last of it out in a decent amount of time so I can finish up some partial chaps I have on my HD. Plus, I need to dig into Fallen. I put it off for this, and now I need to play some catch up.

"However, if he needed someone for can duty again, InuYasha would have to politely decline!"
LOL! Okay..that brought on some serious giggles. I love it! He works hard for the money! (so they bettaaaa treat him right *sings loudly and off-key*) But seriously, their first meeting was amazing. I love the fire between them as clearly shown by their argument and his sweet dinner invitation. And it'll be interesting to see his reaction to the locket when he figures out the meaning of it. He mentioned earlier that his mom "abandoned" him, so maybe this'll change things? And of course, InuYasha'll have work occupying him...Kagome still has that "dinner party" to go to/possibly avoid...
...and Gilbert probably misses her...
So I'm curious and DEFINETELY excited to read how they'll come together. I really can't wait to read more! :D

Author's Response: AM!! Thanks for another fabulous review! You always remember the little things (like Ms. InuGoddess. Can't put a thing over on her!). Yesh, there is still the dinner party and Gilbert, who will probably want his say, lol. And I love the "loudly and off-key" -made me chuckle!
I don't want to give up anything where Yasha is concerned, but he has a "small" journey to deal with before we say goodbye, which means that it won't end with 4 chapters. Story of my life, but I have a handle on where I'm going and what I'll include, so we're good. I just didn't have the heart to rush the ending when y'all are enjoying it so much. :)

i hope she lets him get cleaned up first. one would think that she would realize that if she was covered in horribleness, she might have been a bit cross too if someone interrupted her beeline to the shower.
loving your characterizations.
i am really curious now, how you're going to get them together. he seems to have made a great impression with goshinki with the prospect of more steady employment-- i doubt if he would take kindly to her offering to help him or finding him a job in the city. then again, i am sure you already know how they'll be getting together.
a pleasure,

Author's Response: Thanks, Ginny! I'm glad to see that you're still enjoying this. :D
Yasha is a very proud man, so yeah, he may not like the idea of anyone insinuating that there's something wrong with his life. At the same time, though, he knows he's not really happy. So the question is, what is he prepared to do to change that?
No hints on how they sorta, work things out, but this fic isn't hard angst, so you won't have to worry about anything seriously nasty. Chapter 4 is on the way! ^_^
