Bio: Hello,
I'm a young artist, currently majoring in psychology. LOVE InuYasha and humbly nod in recognition to those who keep the fandom going and alive especially now that both the anime and manga have been finalized.
I hope every member on this site gives a round of applause to our host InuGrrrl, for taking the time to create, update and put money into. We all need to remember that she is a living, breathing, human being too, and is entitled to grace us with her gifts whenever the hell she wants!
Thank You.

INUGRRRL!!!!!!!!!!
Miss you so much, you Wonder Woman! :D
Long time no read! (School and Work)
LOL!
I hope your doing well, pray that your safe and healthy. I REALLY wanted to tell you how cute your "Confessions" are. I bet you feel better after getting certain things off your chest. LOL!
Review: I loved the idea of not naming the narrators. I did get a little confused in the middle, cus in my mind I'm trying to put a face to the one who's talking. (I can be a blonde) I admit that I am always surprised when I see a canon-ish fic done by you. Lovely work!
LOL! I'm off to reread KOR!

Da Grrrl Says: MAN-MAN! <33333333

I have NO idea what made me start the confessionals. >.> Probably the smell of ketchup. LOL. But it\'s kind of fun to share my \"deep, dark thoughts\" especially since I have a good idea of who\'ll be reading it. (Blurting it out to a billion strangers on google would be a different experience <.<). But you\'ve been missed, woman! I just wish i had some updates for you at present. >.< (I\'m working on it!)

The middle, I think, confuses everyone, lol. I did that deliberately -that\'s the point of doing things anonymously- but after you get to th end, you can kinda recognize the middle more, ne? :P

Thanks for all the luv! *glomps ya but good!* <3333

Title: Chapter 1: Can't Let You Go

This was sad but not as heavy as Pandora.
LOL!

I'm more surprised that this exists!
Sess/Kag by InuGrrrl?
Can't wait to continue this story!

And no worries about Pandora, it's good to let go of the hurt! (You of all people know this.)

I hope you liked Florence!

Da Grrrl Says: Oh, you haven\'t reached the painful parts yet. lol. The only way I could write a S/K is if InuYasha didn\'t exist, and as you\'ll soon read, I still managed to make this story all about him. :P I hate this pairing, so first and last time -definitely.

NOW I\'m gonna look for Florence. I was getting my ass kicked by MPR all day long and didn\'t get a chance. Urg!

Title: Chapter 2: The Past Meets the Present

Dun,dun,dun!

I hate to think why RT made canon vague enough that fans often doubt the feelings Inu had for Kagome.

I remember that in the 'Flower Prince' storyline, he thanked Kagome for being there to stop him from having to have to choose between them. That to me is a red flag.
I can't see what the point was in creating a lead FEMALE character that has obvious chemistry with him (they laughed together, cried together, fight together) is there to support him, has been his rock, is devoted and most importantly- that relationship is based on a strong developing friendship and trust. Something that was never mentioned with him and Kikyou. Even if I/K ended up together, the emotions were hardly clear. Sure Japanese culture is a lot more reserved and there were small hints that classified them as an item (holding hands, longing looks, etc.) but as a fan I felt cheated. Because I could easily identify with the 'normal' teenage girl and I wanted the her to find happiness and succeed. Having him state that he was relieved sounded like he was still confused, and that irritated the hell out of me!
I never understood it.

I'm glad his feelings for her are clear in THIS story. :)
(Sorry about my rambling, had to get that out. XD)

-I think it went into anon the first time because I took too long. LOL! Sorry!

Title: Chapter 3: Duty: A gift and a Curse

I agree with Kagome on her making InuYasha seem worse then he really was. And her friends just jumped to poor conclusions too!

Kinda remind's me of the second Bridget Jones movie, where all the women in jail share their stories about the abusive men in their lives and Bridget finally realizes that she let a good one go.
And it was all because of her own insecurities and the influence of her well-meaning friends. XD

OMG!!!
When it was revealed that Sesshomaru owned horses, I got an image of Fabio! LOL!!!
(You know, that famous romance novel model! Long hair and all.)

Anyway, I think the love scene here was very sweet, especially since you don't even like this couple, I think you made many fan girls happy! XD

Da Grrrl Says: Gah! Don\'t remind me of the love scene. I\'m STILL trying to forget that I wrote it. I was completely uncomfortable doing it, trust me. Just... ick. lol. Kinda reminds me of when my friend found my name on some random list of people who support the S/K pairing. I was appalled and offended! XD

LOL! You hate your own love scene?!
But it was lovely! XD

Oh well, kinda sad that I'm almost done with this one.

What to read next...

By the way, since you like U-KISS, do you like ShinEE? They are too cute! (What did you think about 'Seven Devils?' XD)

Da Grrrl Says: Yeah... I hated the love scene. lol. I hate the scene because I hate the pairing. XD It was a PILL to even write it in the first place. Gah!

I\'m a ridiculous U-KISS fan. I\'m Kevin\'s bitch. :P SHINee, not so much. I like a couple of songs (Ring Ding Dong, Lucifer, and A-yo), but that\'s really it. I think Key is a babe, and Onew looks like a sweetie, but other than that...

Can you believe I downloaded it and haven\'t listened yet? >.< Gonna do it now...

EDIT: Listening to it now. Wow, it\'s awesome! Very haunting and cryptic sounding. I likey!! Now if I could remember what story you read for this... lol. (It\'s been a LONG week)

AWWW!!! You put it on BR?! I LOVE IT! I'm glad you like it too!
And take it easy, just REST already, LOL! You're only human! :)

Da Grrrl Says: OMG, Man-Man, you\'re gonna laugh! Tonight I was watching previews of Game of Thrones on HBO with a friend. Well, he plays a clip from the on demand menu and GUESS WHAT STARTED PLAYING?! I literally start screaming, \"OMG! IT\'S MANDY\'S SONG! IT\'S MANDY\'S SONG! I JUST FUCKING DOWNLOADED THAT LAST NIGHT!\"

Needless to say he thought I was a loon. XD But seriously, it was PERFECT in the preview and completely fitting because there\'s 7 kingdoms in the story. AND the clip is actually called 7 Devils. It was my *squee* moment, so I had to share. :P L-O-V-E the song and will definitely use it in a fic -and give you the dedication! <33

Title: Chapter 8: Everything I am and Everything in Me

Oh, wow...
It would make sense for Kagome to 'feel' his emotions, especially when she's with Hakudoshi. I guess InuYasha was more worried about saving an innocent child, than to stop and think about the possibilities and how she could effect him in the future...
And once again, I would HATE to be Hakudoshi... LOL!
Handsome piece of work!

Da Grrrl Says: Wait until you read what\'s coming. You\'re gonna REALLY hate to be Hakudoushi >.> InuYasha as well. Poor things...

I love your reviews. You pay SO much attention (sometimes too much! hehe!) and that\'s awesome. AWESOME! <333

Title: Chapter 9: A Kiss in the Shape of a Bullet

OH. MY. GOD.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
I...LOVED IT!!!!
Whoa...you where right, I don't EVER want to be in Hakudoshi's shoes or InuYasha's for that matter.
I feel like this chapter was emotionally involving; I could FEEL InuYasha go madly insane (literally), his rage, his devastation. Amazing...

I wonder how Sesshomaru feels having to restrain his little bro. Must hurt, especially how much he loves him.
(My favorite thing about the InuGrrrl world is how much love exists between the siblings(KoR)! XD

And Haku is still alive right?! I've grown attached, I'm afraid!

And by the way--‘his usual confidence non-existent as his wings wilted like dying flowers, flowers without light.’ Gorgeous simile.

Da Grrrl Says: I was waiting to see your reaction to that chapter! XD

This was THE most fun to write, and yes, definitely emotional. I tried to make his descent into madness feel really desperate. Like, it\'s finally hitting him that she will NEVER be his, no matter what he does. There\'s zero chance since he\'s up there and she\'s down there. So losing her is a hard blow, but literally watching himself lose her made him snap. I just love this InuYasha; he\'s really fun.

And this is, by far, my favorite Sesshomaru that I\'ve written. He can be the disciplinarian, yet he still has a soft, compassion spot for the people he holds dear. He\'s a great big brother -but he does have his flaws. I would say that... he sometimes loves too much and will do anything to protect those who are allowed the honor. >.> You\'ll see that in chapters yet to be written.

So glad you\'re enjoying it!

Title: Chapter 10: The Hand of Sorrow

The last part with a younger Sess and a baby InuYasha made me cry. I bet it was difficult for you to pen. It was so sweet and heartbreaking to hear him describe the state his sibling was in. It definitely struck a cord with me...

Da Grrrl Says: OMG, was it that obvious?? I totally shed some when I penned that part. (Which is crazy. You\'re not supposed to cry with your own stuff! >.<). Damn those cute brothers!

Title: Chapter 11: Consume the Fight in Me

It's interesting to see how confident Sesshomaru is about cleaning Kagome's memory when she clearly remembers what InuYasha said in latin.
Hmmmm...
Also it's so sad how InuYasha still pines over 'his human' and can't even bring himself to regret what happened. His shame and inner turmoil hits home because everyone has felt this way about something in some point in their lives.
And lastly, again, the bound between the brothers is beautifully portrayed. Sess has some mighty 'halos' to go and face the Lord!

Ok, so I admit...the part with Kikyou was pretty sad. *Sigh*
But I still can't bring myself to like her! (It's all about Higurashi in my book)

Rin and Sesshomaru are awesome together! I usually don't root for these two because when I think about canon, it feels off but again, this is fanfiction, and I think certain authors can pull this one off the right way! ;)

As for InuYasha, I swear I was crying! What gives angels? Isn't God all about love? Let the guy just love! He can't even meet this girl! LET HIM LOVE!!!!!

Title: Chapter 1: Saying Goodbye

YES!!!
I know how much you dislike canon but I've always wanted to know how it would play out in 'InuGrrrl World'!
I'm really excited about this one!

Also, the video I sent you, I sent out of love. I feel that it's hard to come across good fanfiction and as fans you try to keep the passion alive through creativity. But it makes me mad when people mock it with intentional malice. I remember reading a 'fanfiction' a few years ago that was two sentences long and absolutely offensive. Eww.

Da Grrrl Says: Oh my word... don\'t take this as real canon, lol. I went in every crazy direction I could think of with this thing (well, that would pertain to the plot, that is). And then I had the nerve to bow to the pressure and do a sequel. *smacks forehead* Good grief! XD

And I totally wasn\'t offended. I guess after going through what I did, for as long as I did, I\'m prone to avoiding any public fun-pokage, even if it\'s harmless. What we think is funny or no harm done can be extremely hurtful to someone else. I was never the type to flame or ridicule anyone\'s work. I may have shared what I like or don\'t like about specific fics with friends in privacy, but never in public. It\'s just something ingrained in me after multiple years of harassment by my so-called peers (and it still goes on). But again, I wasn\'t upset about it at all. <33
