Well, gee. I guess it's going to be pretty easy to hit my review quota for the week...and this is just the first story I read!

I'll have you know that I was reading this while lying in bed, on my tablet, after a LONG day. I had a headache when I came home at 10pm. I had already showered and brushed my teeth, and I had planned on sleeping after reading a few stories here. But dammit, I actually got my ass up out of bed to my computer so I could write this, because you deserve this review, like, now. And clearly you deserve a lot of commas. Yay! Commas for everyone! *throws comma confetti*

I'll only say THIS particular part once, because I'm sure it applies to all of your other stories, unless your style drastically changes. Here it goes: To me, you have the perfect blend of descriptions and dialogue. You do a great job of keeping the details concise. As much as I can appreciate the effort some authors put into long, winded sentences describing, I dunno, a fucking pencil...if it doesn't add to the mood or atmosphere of the story, I'm skimming through that shit. The problem is that I'm a slow reader. If I can feel that the next paragraph is just going to be a boring description of almost nothing, I'm probably going to skip over it because it takes too much effort on my part...cause I'm slow!

I remember reading that you wrote that people had issues with your stories because of the alternate universe? ALTERNATE UNIVERSE STORIES ARE MY FAVORITE. I don't understand all the hate. Personally, it's more like...if I am a fan of a couple (in this case, Inuyasha and Kagome), I want to read them getting together in any possible universe. I want to believe that they would find each other no matter where or when they were born. This is what AU fics give to me. Fuck the haters who say it should only be in Rumiko Takahashi's universe. She already gave us 55 fucking volumes of that universe.

Oops. I don't even know if this is really a review anymore. Where was I?

Oh right. Your awesome writing. I'm very glad that those other fanfics brought me to you, and I'm seriously grateful that you let me into your home. Thank you, and I'll try to use coasters... >_> Fuck, I think I already left a ring on your coffee table. *wipes at it furiously*

I'm going to like it here.

Author's Response: BEST. REVIEW. FUCKING. EVER. BECAUSE. I. AM. STILL. LAUGHING.

OMFGAH, I'm dying over here. This line gets a damn reward:

"As much as I can appreciate the effort some authors put into long, winded sentences describing, I dunno, a fucking pencil..."

^^^^^ THIS.

I can't relate to these stories that go on and on and ON -forevermore- with shit that don't matter! o.O There's only but so many ways to describe the sky! STOP. IT.

But seriously, this review made my night. I was completely pissed off about something and happened to check my e-mail at 3:30am and saw the notice of a review. Best click I made tonight because I needed this laugh. LOL.

On another side note, how great is it that you enjoyed your first story here!! That's freakin' awesome! And I agree -alternate universe, for me, is the best one because it gives me room to be creative. I don't want to recycle and rehash Rumiko's canon. That's her world and it should be played by her rules. I prefer to build my own worlds and simply borrow my favorite characters. Some people really don't get it and confuse that with "disrespecting her work" (eh???), but you know, fuck 'em. I'm still gonna do what I want, always have. But since I closed myself off from the whole of the fandom, save for my own sites, my headaches with asshats have almost completely ceased.

But anymewho, I'm glad you're having fun here and don't spill that drink on my carpet. XDDD

Oh man. I finished this story a week ago and said I would review while it was fresh on my mind, but I didn't. ... And now it's kinda stale. ;_; I am reading too many Inu/Kag fics, they're all starting to blend together. I'm sure I can think of something to write...

Oh, YEAH. This was another one of those "KIKYOU PLS STAAAAAAAAHP" stories! Out of curiosity, do you just hate her? Not that it really matters to me, but it seems like in most of these stories, she's the villain. I'm currently in the process of reading Fatality, and it's the same in that one as well. Not that it's bad or anything, I was just curious as to what your reasoning was for making her a villain so frequently. Or is it simply because you just happened to think of a story that requires a female villain, and honestly there just aren't a lot of frequent female characters in the world of Inu Yasha? There's Kagome, Sango, Kikyou, Kagura, Kanna......so many K names. I suppose I can see why Kikyou is chosen for the role of the bitch ex or "omg that hanyou is so fine i want his body so bad and i think i'll be evil while doing this" psycho. I guess it doesn't make much sense to have any other person fill the role.

STILL THOUGH, I'd like to hear from you your feelings towards her! Always good to get an insight into the author's mind.

And you were not kidding about there being a ton of lemons in this story. Once again, I am totally fine with this. Teehee.

I read all of these stories on my tablet, which is really not fun to type on. I wanted to review each chapter, but that would've really ruined the flow of the story...that's why I decided to wait until I finished it. Unfortunately I'm not really an in-depth reviewer, so I can't pinpoint certain things in the story that made me feel anything. But I want you to know that I really really liked this one, and I gobbled it up pretty quickly.

I can just honestly say I enjoyed the plot a lot, though it kinda messed with my emotions quite a bit. There was a lot of back and forth between "YAY they're gonna be okay!" and "NOOOO, ANOTHER MISUNDERSTANDING." I just wanted to shake these characters and scream at them, "Can you PLEASE stop assuming things and just TALK to the other person? GAWD." Buuuut then the story would be cut short to maybe 3 chapters and there would be less sex. So that would suck.

How would it go if everyone just told the truth? After they sleep together for the first time, it'd be like...

Kagome decides to tell InuYasha the truth about who she is and that she's Sango's cousin, and that hers and InuYasha's meeting was planned. InuYasha is like, "WHAT? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? You are a LIAR. Oh well, the sex was awesome and we had a great time. Sooo, shall I see you again tonight?"

And Kagome's like, "Yes plz."

The end.

Best story ever.

Okay, maybe YOUR version is a little better. ;)

Author's Response: Nice to get a different question. Usually, it's "Why are you do you only write about Human InuYasha and not Hanyou InuYasha?" Or "Why do you pick on Kagome in your fics?" So getting a "Why do you hate Kikyou?" is new. Sort of.

Quick answer: I used to despise Kikyou years ago when I first started writing fanfiction for obvious reasons if you ship InuKags. She was forever an obstacle that wouldn't stay dead and nearly got Kagome and InuYasha killed.

But I also have some fics where she's not a villain at all. In fact, in some, she's purely good. So she gets equal opportunities from me. These days, I don't hate her, but if I need a bad girl, she'd still be the first one I'd look to because I'm not too fond of throwing OCs into fiction with canon characters in lead roles and I happen to like Kagura.

LOL @ your 'everyone tells the truth, end of story' scenario. Yeah, I think the story would get really short then. :P I wrote this a super long time ago and my style has changed a bit, but yeah, I think the lemon thing and my penchant for making people's feels trip out will stick with me. ^^

Thanks for reading!

Aaaaaaaah! I am reading these too fast!

And I totally went and voted for this on the poll even though it's already winning, because it is too good not to. So many unanswered questions!

Kouga is so VILE in this story! I actually never really liked him much in the manga, because I thought he was entirely too cocky for someone who relies on Shikon shards in his legs...and always being so rude to InuYasha. >:O Jerk!

Absolutely loving this story. Can't wait for more, if you plan to write more!

Ooh and I have a question regarding one of your reviewing rules...you mentioned there would be grammatical errors (of course, no one expects perfection) so you do not wish to be corrected on those. However, if I see a word usage error (a common one I notice throughout your works, not just a rare typo), would you like to be notified of it? Since you are a writer at heart and do plan on continuing to write outside of fanfiction, I thought you'd might want to be aware of those. I know I prefer to be told if I've been using the wrong word or spelling for something!

I remember when I spelled the word "separate" as "seperate" for YEARS and had no idea I was wrong...WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL MEEEEEEEE? I had to find out by the red squiggly. Thanks, red squiggly!

It's getting hard to review these stories beyond "lol i lyke it pls continue itz so hawt ^________^"

All right, maybe it won't be that bad...but seriously your writing is so good. It's hard to believe that this is fanfiction and not a published book.

Author's Response: First, your reviews are always hilarious.

DISCLAIMER: IG is not responsible for loss of sleep, undereye circles, or crankiness that developed from an overdose of both.

Now that THAT'S out of the way... XD

I'm actually hoping to finish this one because so many people like it. But admittedly, it's hard because my love for writing in general has declined by a lot (VERY doubtful that I'm going to attempt any pro stuff. I've written so long that I just don't think I have it in me to do it even more. lol. Plus, my hands may not be able to take it)

I screw up words in my fanfics all the time, and I always mean to go back and fix it and never do. I also tend to write when I'm extremely tired and I end up posting w/o a beta THEN going back 2 days later, reading and correcting (Basically because I don't want to make anyone wait any longer for the chapter). So I'm probably aware of my mistake >.> and just keep doing it from force of habit and not fixing it for the same reason. Whatevs. lol. Hell, I should make you beta my future works! (SO kidding about that. :P).

TBH, I'm pretty vanilla myself. Much of the stuff I write I've never experienced and <.< have no desire to, but for some reason, I'm just good at putting it into words. Meanwhile... I hate writing smut with a passion. I'm so bored with it all! But I try to give the readers what they want and that means some of my messy screw scenes. Ha.

As always, thanks for the awesome reviews I always appreciate them!

I think the cutest part was picturing Inuyasha trying to make that star using twigs and a scarf. I can't even imagine living during that time...I'd be like, "CAN I GET SOME TAPE IN HERE, PLEASE? OR A STAPLER?" It would absolutely not work for me.

I read this when I first joined, but I never left a review. It's the problem with reading things on a tablet...but ever since that "HIATUS" page that was up, I was freaking out a bit that I wouldn't be able to write anything for you anymore. I never did get a response when I e-mailed you on g-mail, so I'm not even sure if I got your e-mail right. I know you're busy so I don't expect a response, I'd just like to know that it got to you. :)

Anyway, this was a really cute fluffy one that warms my heart. Kagome gave up a LOT to stay with Inuyasha (frankly, it's not something I could ever do), so it's nice to see him acknowledge that and try to make her happy by trying to give her a little bit of her old home.

Author's Response: I'm so with you on that, lol. I could never "rough it" the way Kagome does in feudal times. I need my shower and blow dryer and things like that. But then again, if InuYasha was waiting on the other side of that well, I think I could manage it... haha.

I don't remember getting your e-mail, but if you're by chance using yahoo mail, my server sends it directly to spam and that deletes within 30 days. So I may not have gotten it. I haven't been online much, either, so I definitely could have missed it.

Thanks for the kind review!
