If Yash isn't careful, he's going to get them both in the kind of situation they can't get out of. I have been on edge this whole story. Too many ways things can go wrong, fast. Bank sure has quite the hobby and it makes me nervous. >_> hope he doesn't catch anything damning while he's "swimming". Eek!

Hey Grrrl! Missed you! :)
I know things have been pretty crazy/busy for you (and blocks are such a pain in the ass xp ) but thank you so much for posting this chapter -- KoR is an awesome fic and there was absolutely nothing wrong with what you posted -- the chapter was GREAT and a wonderful surprise to see! And the new artwork -- Sweet Jesus, it's amazing! Neo and Master M are very talented!
Emotional rollercoaster for sure -- this story is difficult to read sometimes but not for the reason you may think. The angst the two have gone through so far just trying to accept how they feel for each other really pulls at the heartstrings -- it's hard knowing they have to go through even more with no guarantee of happiness in the end.
You've really pulled me in with this one -- can't wait until you work your magic with the next chapter!
Take care!
Rana ;)
Da Grrrl Says: Hey Rana!
Thanks for the lovely review! I always appreciate your kindness -makes me smile. :D I'm SO sorry this took so long. I had no idea a year passed by (and horribly, that's been happening a lot!). I'll update, do a few other things, then wham. 6 months are gone. It's retarded. =/ And the block? Forget it! It's constant now and it really messes me up. It's like, I'll have a ton of ideas on where to go/what to do in each fic, but can't get it to materialize on paper. I know for some it's as easy as saying "just write", but it's not that way for me at all. >.<
And yesh, KoR is definitely a coaster. I have 2 ideas on how this will end, but I haven't chosen between them yet. I guess it depends on my mood at the time -lol. But both will certainly pull at the heartstrings. When I started this thing, I really didn't think anyone would get into this because of the incest, but I stand corrected and that's a nice feeling. ^^
New chapter on the way, and it won't take a whole year! <3

<3 Amazing as always, even though it took a year that only means it was done right, glad to see that you still manage to avoid forcing yourself to write, I've always seen that it leads to the best and most interesting results.
I knew Kouga wouldn't be able to not eventually find his way into the story. Nice to see that he was a decent-like guy this time around though. Bankotsu on the other hand.... is he going to lose some teeth next chapter?
Shit stain with hair made my day.
Da Grrrl Says: THERE'S MY GUY! xD
I was hoping I didn't kill this story on you! I still owe you big thanks for giving me your input. I'm at a crossroads (on what we talked about), but at least I have a few ideas on where I can go with it.<3
I'm also glad its return wasn't too much of a disappointment. I wanted it to be better, but finally had to settle on what I had or risk disgusting myself to the point of another long hiatus. (That happens more than you know. >.>) I'm outlining the next chapter (I'm trying to get disciplined with updating), so I'm really hoping to make it better than this one.
And, I swear, Kouga is there only by default! lol. I needed someone and didn't want to use a generic OC (I try to avoid that unless they'll be in several scenes throughout the story), so I went with an old reliable. However, he's not a problem, but Bank is. Will teeth fly? Maybe, maybe not. *dun dun dun* xD
Thanks for the review luv, babe. As always, I appreciate it.<3

I had such a huge-ass grin on my face when I saw that you updated this, 'cuz you know how much I LOVE this story. And *GLOMPS* ya for the dedication! Sorry, I couldn't get in here sooner to leave some love, but I'm here now! And you totally did not disappoint with this awesome chapter! Well, okay, so there was no lemon... :P Even though I knew there wasn't going to be one, I was still hoping! XD
Maybe because it's the subject matter, but there's always this ominous undertone to this story. And now with Bank following them with his handycam... I'd hate to see them disrupted again when Yasha obviously wants alone time, but then again I cringe when I think that their taboo will be caught on tape. The guilt will be bad enough, but to have that on top of it all? I just hope Yash sees what Banks is up to and kicks his voyeuristic ass. XD
Boy, sweets, you're not making it easy for them, are you? XD But then again, I just can't see a happy ending for them, no matter what they do. Toga is going to find out and when he does, it's not going to be pretty and it'll definitely shatter their close-knit family. I have a couple of theories on how this will all play out and I'm super excited to see where you're going to take it! ^_^
<33333
Da Grrrl Says: MY SAYU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesh, you knew in advance that the lemon wasn't going to be in there. xD And I feel awful because I'm sure people think I'm "building" it up to some huge thing, but I'm actually not. The lack of lemon has just been because InuYasha (mostly) realizes what a huge step this is and has been hesitant (and he did say that he knew their parents would disturb them. So even though he expected it, he was still pissed off. LOL). But it IS coming, most definitely.
And you're right (as usual!). There's always been an undertone of eerie foreboding with this story because of the taboo, and Toga's volatile other side. He's the most loving man when it comes to the people he holds dear, but he has this frightening other side and you never know how he's going to react. So, even though this is romance/angst, there's a mild "thriller" element, too, because you just never know what might happen.
There's only a few chapters left, and I hate that my block has been so amazingly retarded, This should have been done ages ago. Loved, too, (and I'm working on that!). I want to give these stories proper closure, and I hate that that's taking a long time. =/
And you know I pen KoR and Hikkie for you! You always, always take a minute to encourage me and keep me cracking up with your "theories". xD I totally have to pen them for you. Have to. <33333333333333333333333

Title: Delay the Wait
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
This is such an AWESOME chapter!!! (Now that I've gotten past the much-too-De-Lick-Ous Header art and curb urges on licking the screen) I love the tender morning scene with Kagome being the first to awaken and to muss over the reality of the situation. The truth is coming more comprehensible now to Kagome, more so than previously. And yet, she is not scared of her feelings of InuYasha's feelings... and that she has freely embraced it. I am on pins and needles now with InuYasha's leaving for schooling coming closer and closer!
and yes... I squeaked very happily when InuYasha woke up and was greeted by Kagome!
That passionate scene was soooo exquisitely erotic and deliciously sweet! And that one line she spoke: "I never wanted perfection. As long as you love me, I have everything I need" That was so intensely powerful!
I wish I could tell InuYasha when the phone rang and shattered their moment that nope, it's not just because of their love ... but a fact of the Fates. Got plans or having a romantic and it's pretty much given that something will interrupt the moment and ruin the mood. Like my friend who went to kiss someone and they cracked foreheads together instead.
And wow, does Sango ever have a cross between a super spiney cactus and a pineapple living up her butt when it comes to InuYasha and Kagome. And for her to be at odds so much with InuYasha and Kagome it's wicked! Adds so much realism!!!
So far I am really enjoying this different Kikyou in the story! Makes for a nice change of pace though she does make for a sweet villain at times! And seeing her as being friends with InuYasha is wicked too! *rubs hands* I wonder if there is a dark switch coming up?
I am shivering over the way Toga's past (his siblings) and his children are mirroring. I wonder if it's like he needs to learn about love is more. And how all hell is going to break out and come down If and/or When Toga and Izayoi discover the truth about their babies.
I do love the way Kagome got a point for turning to Izayoi and making the observation about the gift she got her for her birthday.
Every single little detail like this that you so amazingly weave in make every story so incredible real! Have a deeper impact and make it sooo much more than just a tale written on paper but an honest to goodness, rare story telling!
I got a kick out of Sango and Miroku talking about music there! It was so funny! Miroku forgot about the 'my dog's gone up and runned away from me' in with the country and bluegrass... not to mention the very cringe-worthy nasal twanges in the voices!! I wonder if Miroku ever heard Scat then?
Oh mys! Kouga is there now! And Bank!! He has a serious problem! He is definitely quite the creeper! I can see all heck breaking out and something bad going to come from it. Like he gets blackmail material and will want Kagome for himself as payment.Plus Bank will now have Kagome's address if he finds out they are siblings.
Oh! Sailing!!! *bounces* Are they going by day Sailing or actual sailboat? If you have questions about sailing and or sail boats I can help out with what I know/do just not good with day sailing.
And once again you have me on the edge of my seat just eagerly awaiting the next amazing chapter!!!
Da Grrrl Says: Nikkie! <333
Thanks for the fantabulous review! I always love hearing your take on stuff. :D
I wanted a few more things to go into this chapter, but it just wasn't happening. A few chaps ago, I had a mess on my hands that I kept rewriting to the point that (no lie) I felt physically ILL, and this was going in the same direction. So on the 6th rewrite, I gave up and decided that it was going to post AS IS, and whatever happens, happens. This thing was a YEAR late and I had to get it out or I never would. =/
I just may have to e-mail you about sailing. I've only done it a couple of times, so I'm going by what I remembered (but that was years ago). So I may have a question or two. The sailing part will only be a blip in the background, but I like accuracy with those kinds of things.
The family parts are fun to write. I like the atmosphere, which is why it will suck so much when they find out the truth about the kids. For Toga, it will be like reliving a nightmare. For Izayoi, a whole new one. And, of course, the kids will feel bad for bringing it all on their heads. A mess, indeed.
Bank is definitely a creeper, and I think we've all experienced at least one guy like that: Pissed off at the world, feels like somebody owes him something, etc. But only time will tell if he ends up being a real problem, or just a passing annoyance. xD
Sango and Miroku are usually boring for me, so it's been kind of cool to get good feedback on their side story. I'm trying to give them a cute romance based on stuff they have in common and the fact that they each want someone to escape to. But she definitely has a hard on for InuYasha. She's always struck me as that kind of person (even in canon). She dislikes InuYasha when he's treating Kagome like shit, only in my fics, her anger leads to extreme reactions. lol.
And I haz happy that you like the new art! I'd been sitting on it for a while, but I have one that I've had even longer. I want to show it when I update the fic its based on, but who knows when that will be? So don't be surprised if you see it sooner than later. Neo always does such great work that I can hardly wait to post it to the planet. :P
Thanks again for the review, luv! I always appreciate it!! *hugs*

I finally got this shit posted! It took ages and I wasn't too happy with it. Some things that I wanted for it just didn't pan. But at least i know what I want in the next chapter and it won't me a friggin year.
And I remember that with Naraku! That made me laugh, but you never know. There's one chapter left to that, so you may find out. Sess and Rin are more of a mention than a part of the stpry, so don't be shocked if you never meet them. It really depends on how I feel as I started sewing up the ends (cause this fic is almost done).

I think my heart stopped when I saw that this was updated. This is one of my favorites. It breaks my heart to think of the consequences if anyone finds out about Inuyasha and Kagome. I wish somehow, they can find a place to live where nobody knows them. Bank is making me a little nervous/very nervous. This chapter is amazing. I loved the little time Inuyasha and Kagome got in the morning ^_^. And the new picture! Holy, it's absolutely beautiful! I really don't know which is my favorite, Inuyasha Emmanuel or this one.
Da Grrrl Says: Thanks so much for reading and leaving such great comments. I wasn't that pleased with this chapter, but hearing that some folks liked it makes me feel better. The next one won't take nearly as long. ^_^
I think everyone wishes Yasha and Kags could get away from the world, but life is never that easy. There are always trials to endure. And yeppers, Bank is a little issue. He's into Kagome's boobs and wants a little close up, lol.
And I'm glad you like the art, too! Neo (my g-artist) and Master M, who did the art, are just amazing. All I have to do is tell her what kind of scene I want and she just makes MAGIC. She's totally amazing!

Title: Delay the Wait
You should be happy with this chapter because I'm ecstatic!! I think Toga should come clean...at least to Izayoi about his past. This storyline always tears me up inside. I mean, I know what's right and wrong, but in this story, the black and white lines blur into shades of gray...it's mind bending, to say the least.
Hmm this thing with Bankotsu makes me wary. I'm just so nervous about the 'what ifs.' What if someone sees Inu & Kags' public displays of affection and later on, Toga or Izayoi introduces InuYasha and Kagome as their children? I'm truly scared to see what'll happen when all the secrets are out in the open.
I wonder how Sess and Rin are doing....lol Thanks so much for the update. Oh and I LOVE the new skin or header...I'm not sure if that's the right term, but I'm talking about the picture of Inu on the beach, okay?! LOL
Da Grrrl Says: Kimmy! <3
What's up, girl?! Thanks for poppin' in and showing KoR some love. It bugs me out that I took so long to update. >.< Then, when i did, it took another 2 weeks to get it out on top of giving myself a carpal relapse. So, it's been real fun around here. >.>
TBH, I don't know if we'll ever get to really meet Sess/Rin. That back story was just to point out that Toga has been down this road before and how it could be in the blood (the incest), but I don't know if I'll take that any further. I was going to give this one a few more avenues before I ended it, but I think I changed my mind. I'm just going to get it over with because it's taking way too long to end it.
As for bank, well, he's just shady enough to do everything you think he'll do. :P Glad you liked the skin! Neo and the artist did a fantastic job, and the best part is that there are more new skins coming. xD

Paper? What paper??
Tease. That damn telephone :P
(and LOL! I just replied to your email talking about KOR. I was about to go to bed, but I saw this...and the HEADER! Omg, its beautiful!!)
Now the chapter, I'm surprised that Kouga wasn't the dirtbag here xD Bankotsu on the hand...lawd. He's filling Kouga's shoes that's for sure.
And the Takahashi family is too cute for words. I loved the family banter. It felt real and was so easy to picture. Makes me wanna call up my Dad and bug him for old times' sake (except its 1am. He'd kill me, lmao). But really cute, even though there's that undertone of bittersweetness, family dynamic. I love that they picked up on Toga's discomfort and wonder if/when they find out about Rin and Sesshomaru if it'll come from their Dad or somewhere else.
I really like the Mir/San side-story, too. Its rare that I do in fiction, but Miroku's a fav and you write him like the lecher I know and adore. And Sango is always so sassy the way you write her...I love it!
Can't wait to see where this goes next. I hope Bank doesn't do anything with his creepy video.
...though this is angst. Where's the fun if he doesn't? LOL.
~Am :D
Da Grrrl Says:
YES, THAT DAMN PHONE!
he knew it was going to happen, too, which is why he didn't want to start! Poor blue-ball boy. xD
And yush, Kouga is off the hook. He's a hustler, but Bank is on some new kinda shit. Sort of that whole "why him?" thing that some guys get (and seriously, it'll be total strangers copping that kind of tude). So that's where his head is at, and he figures, he'll just play spy to get a little footage of her boobs. lol. Perv.
I like their family, too. I try to make them feel average and close, so I love that it seems to be working. I have no siblings and a small family, so I'm not even writing them based on experience.
Miroku and Sango aren't easy. Like, at all. >.> It could be that it's because this was the first chapter out of block, or it could be that I know I don't feel anything for that pairing... But hey, if you're enjoying them, I'm happy.
next chapter is being mapped out (well, the last bit of it), so it shouldn't be too long before it posts. I'm in that "end shit" mode, so I want to try and kill off more stories either by updating faster, or just putting them out to pasture. Hopefully, it will be the former!

I have to say that I started reading this fic as sort of a way to try something new. As you know this isn't the typical fic that I like :D. And while the subject matter is still something I'm unsure of, and I know I know you warned us they were ACTUAL brother and sister. I'm finding myself anticipating where you're going to take this story, and how you'll be ending it eventually. I don't see a very happy ending quite honestly! :/
Anywho! Good chapter! I'm glad you were able to get updated, and although you weren't completely happy with it it was still well written! Good job Grrrl!
PS: Whatever Bank is up to does NOT sound good at ALL!!!! I'm scared to find out where their actions are going to take them!
Da Grrrl Says: GO LINDS! GO LINDS! lol.
Nice to see you getting adventurous and giving this a shot. The subject matter isn't easy, especially for people with siblings, but if you can eventually get past that, it's not half bad. :D And no hints on the ending -we're not that far from it!
P.S. I know you're waiting for 2 specific fics, and I AM working on them, so just hold on a bit longer. :D

Ahhh, this has definitely made the list of my favorite fan fictions. The angst, darkness, and an impending doom that's bound to ensue due to our favorite characters' romance is absolutely brilliant. It takes a fine author to weave words in such a way that leaves the audience awestruck, from your descriptive similies and metaphors, to the lust, and self-deprivation of the characters. I'm extremely anxious for your next update, and I find myself checking for it quite frequently. Since you took the time to cultivate such a story, I figured that you deserved an in-depth review for your efforts and success.
