Title: My Own Way
Thanks for the heads up on this chapter, Ki! I'm really glad that I printed this off and read it before I watched the MJ memorial. :( It struck me as I was watching how loved MJ was and I think Yasha in this story will come to realize the same thing in the end.
Another awesome chapter! "Just this once... believe with me." I loved this line - it really shows Kagome's optimistic nature. And I laughed at Yasha's grumblings about his job... "Fuck him twice. Shit patrol." I don't know if it's becuz I'm really tired or really sick (or more likely becuz of your talented writing), but this line sent me into a fit of giggles. InuYasha was definitely worth the wait. And I loved that Kaede, Totosai and Goshinki saw past the sullen facade that Yash hides behind and extended kindness to someone who has been so obviously beaten down in life. It helped to build his character and he's not so jaded that he didn't appreciate Kagome's efforts to track him down and for him to extend the dinner invite... really, really sweet. I still say you do good um, cotton. XD See, no "f" word here. lol.
Hope you're getting some much deserved rest, babes. Talk to ya later.
*LOVE AND HUGS*
Author's Response: My Sayu!!!
I always beam when I see your reviews and know that you liked what you read. <333 I'm with you on MJ. He was loved around the world, but this country... I'll save that for e-mail. I made sure to post this before the memorial because I knew I'd be no good for the rest of the day and I wasn't. It's just insane that it happened at all. :(
But, on to the fic. You know what? Shit Patrol and Believe with me are my faves, too. xD They just felt like that's what each one would say. It's also why I mentioned that Kaede made Yasha want to believe -it's like they both would like to wish on a star, but he's somewhat cynical now. He feels isolated and alone, so we're hoping that he can see love before it's too late -like MJ. Many loved him, but I wonder if he knew how much. It's sad. Sigh.
And I'm allergic to cotton and all cotton-based materials! >.>
LOVES AND HUGS AND GLOMPATIONS!!!

Oh, I am enjoying this story! Especially this third chapter! I love the little details, and the thought you've put into InuYasha's portrayal. Thanks so much. :)
Author's Response: Thank YOU so much! I didn't know you were reading this one, so not only am I surprised, but happily so because you're having a good time. :D I was trying hard to show InuYasha's personal demons without delving too far since the story is a short one -I'm glad to know that it worked!

OMG! Work is killing me! I'm totally loving this story though! It is so cute! I love Inuyasha! That really was about the cutest dinner invitation I've ever heard! Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Sheena! How are you, girl? I hope things are well with the family. :D
Thanks for keeping up with this. I know I have a zillion fics, but it's nice to know that my lovelies still hang in there. ^^ New chapter soon with LOTS more InuYasha!

*crawls -unwillingly- out of Inu/Kags fantasy stupor*
I want to grab Yash, wrap my arms around his head, push his face in my bossom, and, and -I'm REALLY trying NOT to be a pervert here, but we're talking about Yash ... and my bossom. Oh nevermind :P Great update girl. When the notification came to my inbox, I dropped everything I was doing and headed ova here. Good thing bossman had a client. LOL I can't wait to see what developes from here. As always, abso-fuckin-lutely awesome *double thumbs up*
Author's Response: Oh shit, I laughed my ass off. You stooooopid! xD
I keep forgetting that your comp blinked! I be like, her ass ain't signed on -then I remember. I need to shoot some mail at you about >.> various things. You're gonna snort -trust me. xD And thanks for the review, Mah Sistah!!

Title: My Own Way
ADORABLE chapter. Yash was definitely worth the wait. I can't wait to see how he and Kagome interact next time. Their tempers have already sparked, though....it wouldn't be them if that hadn't happened. :) But, also, like always, Kagome is able to see underneath that seemingly tough facade of his. I definitely can't wait to read more.
Author's Response: Ms. Goddess! Thanks for the review, doll. :) I'm SO glad you were happy with this one since I made you wait ten years to see him, lol. But worry not, now that he's here, he'll be in just about every scene from here on out, even though there are roughly 2 chaps left. :P I'm not touching anything else until I nail this, so expect more shortly!

i love mysteries!! This is pullling me in sooo deeply.
For a second i thought the pic might be inu's child n kikyou >.> lol, but i realize it meant Inu would be too old for kags n we cant have that now can we?
I like the flow of this which is just right. I hope that as kags find out more about Inu, she falls for him without realizing it...Bank is hot, but we cant have him gettin kaggie when inu is in the story xD
hope to see an update soon!! =D me lovesit, Grrrl!!! ^^

i keep forgettin to say who i am in my reviews >< lol, i'm the MJ girl =p
I loe this new fic!! That locket reminds me of the anime itself.. where kags had made 1 for inu. I love how Kags personality is btw.. she's so childishly cool
And grumpy Sango is to love! lol. Recently when u write her, i get easily annoyed at her personality but i cant feel anything but love for her. It's like she's kags mother, always lecturing her on her childish ways.
I love the little mermaid!! xD

Girl!!! Oh, I can't wait to see what happens next. I was right, this is right up my alley. I love the whole concept. A good bit of romantical fluff is just what the doctor ordered. Smex or no smex. I'm so burned out. This is just the shot in the arm that I needed. Can't wait for the update, mah sistah :P
Author's Response: Mah Sistah! :D
I'm giddy that you like it (Lily, too!) because fluff is sooo.... not really me. lol. But I'm having fun writing this, and to be honest, I must agree. Writing such a "no pressure" story is really refreshing. I'm hoping to get part 3 up today. Wish me luck!

Title: I Take the Dice
Another lovely chapter! I'm really enjoying the rapport between Kagome and Sango. The banter is wonderful, and underlying it all is a true friendship. <333 No, I'm not tearing up, but keep this up and I'm going to be shedding a few. ^_^
I never told you this, but hubby bought me a locket after the kids were born. I had printed up pics of them on the comp to fit the small space and silly me, showered wearing the thing and the pictures faded... so parts of the story are making me go O.o. There are a few others, but I'll tell ya in private.
Judging by the reviews, a lot of people love da grrrl's fluff. Hmmm, should do it more often, ne? XD I can so see your grimace - writing waff is like pulling teeth someone once told me. LOL.
Love you to pieces. XOXOXO
Author's Response: My Lily!!! <333
I'm so happy you're enjoying my <.< cotton. (The F-word is getting banned around here!). Kagome and Sango have good chemistry -like us- and Sango talks her down from the heights (like someone else I know! <33), so they're great fun to write.
I'm freaking off the locket coincidence! Holy crap, lol. Now I'm all O.o. But that's good; you'll feel closer to the story!
I'm working on chapter 3, which is important because it's Yasha's debut and I'm trying not to pressure myself (damn build ups!), so let's just hope that it flows well, in keeping with the rest of the story.
I'm so excited about being able to give you something decent (and in a timely fashion. >.<). *HUGS*

Never fuck with a coffee addict before she's had her fix. LMAO Girl, you rock. Actually, this whole thing sounds like it's right up my alley from what I've read already. On to the next chappie, but first, I do believe some DD is in order. Heh
Author's Response: The coffee queen strikes again! xD
I had to get ya girl. It was a must! This will be a shorty, but I really like those these days. I want to bang it out then toss up a few other things I've been working on. Wish me luck!

Title: I Take the Dice
How sweet of Kohaku! And here Sango thought he was just a "lazy ass." (Okay, I did too...but that's the beauty of plot twists!) I love it. And I can't wait to see Yash's reaction when Kagome comes over with the locket...if it'll be a happy, surprised, maybe angry one? He's already built up an interesting background, having lived on the beach, and grown up in the system. I can't wait to find out more!
~Am :D
Author's Response: Am!!!
Yesh, Kohaku is actually a good kid and I'm surprising myself with how much I like penning this. probably because it's so short! Sometimes a carefree plot is just what the doc ordered after feeling so blocked. I hope it's the premise to a nice flurry of updates.
As for Yash, this is the longest I've gone in an I/K fic without his appearance. It boggles the mind! But I can't give any hints about anything, after all, it's halfway over! :D

Argh. You leave me hankering for more and more...very mysterious.
I'm loving all the old refs you're sticking in this too. You just know when I read the Dick Dastardly line all that I heard in my head was "Catch that Pigeon!!" XD
Looking forward to the next time you get to update this 8D
~Rinoa~
Author's Response: LOL!!!! You know Dick Dastardly!!!! How effin' cool is that! I watch Boomerang when I'm home and totally love the old stuff. So it's like a little tribute; plus, I love the K/S relationship and how goofy they are. My friends and I are always calling each other everything but our given names, so I wanted to add that "feel good" element. Thanks for the review and coming along on the ride! :D

Author's Response: Kid Sissy! *glomps*
Thanks for reading and leaving such nice reviews. But more importantly, thank you for the wonderful e-mail. I got it at a time, literally, when I was feeling really low and it made my day. I'm going to mail you back later on today. <33
And I think everyone loves Under the Sea. It's so damned FUN!

Author's Response: Maria-nee-chan!!! *HUG*
Thanks for reading! It's a little fluffy for me, but it's moving along nicely. I'm at the halfway point and feeling pretty accomplished for a change, lol. Isn't Splenda the awesome? I finally started using it, and wow. Very good stuff. <333

Another good chapter. This story is REALLY good....even if we have yet to see Yash :( . Don't get me wrong, I am REALLY enjoying it...it's just that Inuyasha is my favorite character always...so I just can't wait to see what happens next. :)
Author's Response: Ms. Goddess! You and I are just alike, lol. This is THE longest I've written an I/K fic without introducing InuYasha, but I swear, the wait ends with the next chapter. You already know he's the end all, be all for me, so you can bet money that he'll never be gone for long. I'll definitely try to make him worth the wait. (Can you even believe all of this fluff?? It's crazy!) Thanks for another great review!

It isn't blocky in the least so you should be really happy about it! =] I'm totallly digging it and The Little Mermaid lines. LOVE IT. <3
Author's Response: Thanks, Jenn! I swear, this is the nicest Kagome I've ever written, probably the most in-character, too. LOL. And thanks for the vote of confidence. I've been blocked for ages, but I'm catching a break with this one. Heck, it's almost making me remember why I liked writing so much!

OHHHH me really likey this one!!!
I almost feel like a detective with her trying to uncover the secret of this Inuyasha man!!!! urgh, i wish i could uncover awesome artifacts and dig me up a nice hot man ;p jkjkjk, but i seriousness I really like this one because it's makes me excited to find out and discover what's going to happen next, like a child's game. This is what I'm talking about with you, that skill you have to make me feel so many things at once with your writing. Beautiful job.
In anycase, how are you doing lovely? I hadn't heard from you in a while and then all of a sudden your popping out new fics. I hope your health is all in good order, pullleeeze say that is the case! Sometimes you worry me too much :) Oh and go see "Up" by Disney Pixar if you have the chance!!! Very cute and sweet movie and I thought you might enjoy it. Until the next one hun!
Author's Response: Paw Print!!
I'm so happy you like this one and you're enjoying the "journey"; it means a lot to me. <33 I know I owe you guys so many updates, but I really wanted to slam this down while my brain was cooperating. Then, I'm going after a few other fics that can stand a hello. Wish me luck!
On a side note, I'm okay. (Thanks for always asking!) Work gets heavy for me in the summer time, and I've had nasty block. >.< To make matters worse, the Feudal Association is in session, so I've had a lot of work there as well. The good news, though, is that I resigned so it will be my last term there. (Huzzah!) It will give me more time to write and relax, so for that, I'm grateful! How are you doing?? I hope things are well and you're ready to enjoy the summer! :D I haven't seen "Up", but I saw the trailer at Star Trek and it looks adorable; I may have to find a download!
