Wahh! I was at work when I got the email that you had updated this and I couldn't wait to get home and read it! And then it sat in my inbox for a few hours because I wasn't READY to read it. (I had to mentally prepare myself for the fact that this story was going to be officially completed! Also note that this is one of your stories that I read forever and forever ago and didn't review because I was a bad little girl.... so here I am now to make up for it! And as I've been itching to read some of your older stuff again, be prepared from some spam reviews from me to make up for my bad behavior in my younger years... I sorry!!! -_-) You should also know that it is this story and your Last Exit to Eden that has grown my love for human InuYasha exponentially. I just want to squish him and take him home with me and keep him forever. Bwahahah. ANYWAY, the ending was perfect and beautiful and just a great closing to such a great story! I wish a Happy Happy New Year to you!

DaGrrrl says: I absolutely love this review, just so you know. <333 Why? Because you put into words what I've been feeling for ages. You nailed it perfectly: I wasn't READY to write it just like you weren't quite ready to read it. EoS is my baby, my longest story and the one that has been given the most time. I think that, deep down, I just wasn't ready to put it to bed properly. I thought I was, but the fact that it took years to do it says a lot.

But hearing that you, and everyone else who has followed this one from the beginning, really enjoyed the finale means the world and it makes me feel so much better about saying good bye to it. I feel like I did it some justice, which is awesome. So thank you for that, and I'm sooooooo giddy that I've gotten you to give InuYasha's human side a little more attention! I just adore 'him' so much; he's my inspiration!

Have a fantastic 2014, and no worries, I forgive you for "forgetting" to review for so long. lol. 0.~

This is one of my favorites of your current stories! I'm so glad you updated! I love reading it!

I'm sad though over the couple's angst, though and looking forward to see how it plays out!

Well hello! It's me again! You can't get rid of me! XD I'm trying to awaken my muse to work on mah own stuff... it's not working! So here I am! I hope you're feeling better though! The flu beast ain't no fun!

I have to say, I really loved reading this story! Especially the last two chapters, because I never saw that ending coming! Plus, I'm a sucker for stories where this couple overcomes huge obstacles to get that happy ending. Is that the hopeless romantic in me?! Probably!

DaGrrrl says: Thank you muchly, m'dear! <33 I'm feeling a lot better than I was (Thanks!), so I'm ready to get back to penning some work for you guys! This story was so much controversy when I first wrote it! (Seems like that's the case with everything I write... >.>). People couldn't accept a less than perfect Kagome and would totally act like she wasn't within her rights to feel the way she did simply because there was a child involved. At the end of the day, Jaden wasn't HER child and the way he was conceived... well, most women would have reservations. But that's what I liked about writing this -that dose of realism. :D

Btw, stop by my blog and vote! I'm doing a 'fan month' soon and the voting is open on what will get updated. ^^

I feel so spoiled with two updates so soon together! I also laughed at the creative way you had Kagome's family explain away her moments of blacking out! Its ingenious! I really love this story more than I can say and am so glad you were able to update it!

DaGrrrl says: Thanks so much! :D I needed a good way to keep Kagome in the dark and that was the first thing I thought of, lol. People who narc just fall out (It's actually a bit funny) and I thought of how hilarious Kagome would look doing that (even if she isn't actually doing it). Glad you like it and love that you're enjoying the updates! I'm working on a third, but it may take a little longer since my hands are a little pissed at me. >.> Thanks for the review! ^^

If there is one thing I love about your stories, it's that I can never guess where they are going to go next! Really loved this update!

This story did more than "break tradition"! It knocked it right out of the park! I really love the story with the unexpected twist thrown in there and really try for that in the stories that I write. This one is probably though, the best twist I've ever read! ahaha.

This was one of my favorite stories of yours! I'm sad that it's over but I loved the ending!

This is one of those stories where I couldn't wipe the cheesy grin off my face! It was just so warm and cute! I really loved it! I actually almost participated in Secret Santa this year! ...But then I talked myself out of it. I would have been one of those who would have written a gift for someone and not asked for anything for myself and me being an extreme over thinker I thought this might complicate things for those who were participating... I'm weird.... So Perhaps next year!

DaGrrrl says: Awwww, lol! We totally accept santas who don't want anything in return, so next time we'd definitely love to have you on board. I never, EVER do SS because I'm the organizer, so it blows the surprise. But I gave it a shot this year because the person I wrote it for wanted to be my santa (She made some cute Human Yasha & Kagome art for me. You can see it at my site gallery). I'm not a holiday person, so this wasn't quite as great as I wanted it to be, but it's gotten a positive response and that makes me happy. ^^
