Title: Je t'adore
Funny.. I find myself drifting back here every so often. Not only do I re-read this story, I read my old reviews for nostalgia. I don’t recognize the person behind any of the preview reviews. Hah, is this like therapy? Crazy how time flies. I know you’ve distanced yourself from this world but just know that others are still very touched by your stories. Reading my previous review, I sounded like I had closure, like I knew what was going on - and in hindsight, I was healing from a terrible past. Now, at a difference stage in my life, I didn’t know how I would feel about this story. I almost made it through, but did crack at the end. I’m happy. I’m at a good place. I thought I wouldn’t be able to relate to the pain, I thought I wouldn’t be emotional, but you still got me. Maybe I still feel for the girl that used to know this pain and heartache. Maybe one day, I’ll come back and I will simply love the story for what it is. Now I’m totally sharing my life with you as if this is therapy! Haha. “Love” used to make me cry. The painful kind, like the unattainable love between the two. But now I cry because of life, if that makes sense. Sometimes, that’s just life. It is what it is. Anyway, hope you’re doing well! Hope you’re happy! Take care xx

Title: The Curse
Um... wow... this... was super beautiful! And so, so sad! Poor Yasha! I wanna hug him... no, embrace him now! He definitely, desperately needs it! Some things just don't end happily, do they? I've always found that incredibly depressing and infinitely sad, the fact that his youkai blood is both a blessing and a curse. Thank goodness, then, that Kagome's love for him and his love for her prevailed in the manga/anime!
What a tragic, well-written, bittersweet, wonderful masterpiece, IG
Author's Response: TBH, hardly ANYONE got this one, lol. So it's always amazing to see a positive review for it because I think people just found the whole thing weird and hard to follow. Thanks for 'getting it', and more importantly, enjoying it! ^^

Title: Je t'adore
After reading The Neighbor, I remembered this story of yours. I couldnt remember the title, all I could remember was the feelings I felt when I read it many years ago and how strongly I felt about this story. Once I read the summary, I knew this was it. Believe it or not, I left a few reviews before. I was Anonymous, Anonymous. Hah. Sounds funny to say. I honestly didn't know how I would feel after re-reading it. I wondered if there'd still be water works.. Or if I would feel the same. Often people feel for things they can relate to, and I'm sure just like your life, my life has changed a lot since my Anonymous days. However, I'm glad to say the feelings I get from this story hasn't changed. Once you identify those feelings, the ones that emit from the story, and the ones in your life , I guess it never leaves you. It's something you will always understand regardless of age, place or time. I'm glad I have the chance to come back to this story and re-live not only those feelings, but what I felt back then, I remembered my younger self and where I was. And most important of all, nothing has changed with my perception of how great an author you are. It feels like I never left.
Author's Response: I'm sorry this reply is so ridiculously late. I've barely been to my own site since last June, but I had time today, so I popped in to read some of the reviews and really loved your comments. Thank you so much for enjoying -and continuing to enjoy- my little tales. I've barely written anything in the last 2 years, but a nice review like this reminds me that writing is still worthwhile, even if I'm not the IY fan I used to be. I hope to finish some of my works for you guys, but in the meantime, it warms me to know that my members find my stuff worthy of a re-read. Thank you. <3

This is a day later after having finished this story and I still can't get it out of my mind. There was so much going on so much pain and it never got better it just escalated to this unbelievable climax. I don't know if it's because the torture was sort of vague or because Sesso was changing his mind but it is still so raw. All I can say again is excellent work.
Author's Response: Sorry I'm seeing this so late! Thank you for the kind words! This is one of my darker stories (not for everyone), but it's an honor to hear that it actually made you feel something! That's always my goal. Thanks again! :D

See That is why I said that that would be a stupid question, she was a sister, a nun. Well not even a bit of the teachings of the church got through to her since she committed suicide and grief can be very hard to get through and Inuyasha was having a lot of feelings of guilt with no help from the nice church people except for Sister Rin.

You are right this is hard to stomach reading I can imagine what it must have been to write it. On the other hand, being able to push your self though something that is most definitely not your comfort zone and make something that works and is a good piece is an excellent exercise. I hope I made my point and not just rambled on and on.

Its just sad.. but yes, it happens..
i dont usually love sad story, but yours just hit me in the heart and i can relate with their feelings.. n i cant help but loving it..
becoz even when u love each other with everything u are, there's so many other variables deciding what its going to be for u and ur significant other.. and i guess whether u 2 r gonna be together or not is not the whole point of falling in love..
and i can say its pretty lucky for both Kagome and Inuyasha to have had fallen in love although they cant be together in the end..
thank you very much Inugrrrl, for this beautifully written piece..
Je t'adore...
Author's Response: Thank you so much! It's always a delight when my readers understand where a story is coming from. Sometimes there's no perfect happy ending and I wanted to show that. Even though they loved each other, they couldn't be together, and as awful as that is, it's reality sometimes. So again, thank you for your kind comments! <33

This was so beautiful but sad, I wished they would have worked it through somehow but I kinda knew it was impossible T-T
It hurts just thinking about their love that never will be... at least in this life >o<
Anyway, thank you for this masterpiece, you never disappoint me ^^

This was so tragically beautiful. My heart broke for both InuYasha and Kagome, and they both sacrificed so much because they believed something better awaited the other. I can't even find it in myself to be upset about the fact that they didn't end up together, because even though they weren't together their love for each other was still strong. I don't even know how to put it into words, but you have a beautiful tragedy right here. I am glad I could share in it with everyone. Amazing work!!
Author's Response: Yay! You weren't bitter after reading it. XD Most of my readers weren't, but there were one or two that were put off by the ending. This story is sad, and I cried when I wrote it, but it's happy, too, because they had a chance to be a part of one another's lives and they could never regret that. Thanks for reading and for leaving another kind review. :D

Oh my god!! I can't even see what I am toying there are too many tears. Oh dear... I just... I want to sob for eternity.
I thought I was crying before but that was nothing once I got to the end. I didn't know sadness until I read that last paragraph and now I just want to reach into your story and hug everyone. Poor InuYasha! He gave the woman he love a chance at happiness that he couldn't give her just to try and lessen the pain of his imminent passing.
I think I'm going to curl up in a ball somewhere and hug my InuYasha plushie until the world feels okay again.
I'm a blubbering mess but this was amazing. I loved it, and you made me feel so many things in such a short period of time.
Yes, I will certainly be reading this again and again. Thanks for sharing, even if my heart is broken!!
Author's Response: You are SO brave to want to read that again. I cried when I wrote this, so I know it hits my readers hard. I don't know anyone who endured that story more than once. lol. In fact, when I first wrote it, people were a little pissed at me. XD But my answer is always, "Write your story the way YOU want and I'll do the same." lol. Thanks so much for the lovely reviews!

Title: The Curse
Going into this I was certain my heart was about to break; the very first paragraph shows InuYasha almost wishing for a physical manifestation to display the way he is feeling. Then as the story continued I realized that what he really wanted was to feel the tranquility that the weather displayed. And he knew there was one way to get it.
This story was so haunting. My heart is still in my throat; because InuYasha had been gifted with the one thing he never thought he would have, love, only for his demonic blood to rip it away from him.
This was a very deep fic that made me feel so sad for InuYasha. The end almost seemed to have a glimmer of hope in it, because InuYasha seemed to realize that he could be with Kagome in the afterlife without his demon surging forward.
Very well done. It's not often that a psychological fic can end up as carefully contrived as this one!
Author's Response: Bless you~ Not many people understood this story when I wrote it so long ago. I even re-wrote it a bit to make it more comprehensible, but not everyone followed. lol. However, you did. You completely got what I was doing here and that's just awesome. <33

Soooobbbbbsss! Oh gosh. I needed fluff! But great work as always. I dont know why I've never read this hmm... I could really feel the connection between inu and kag! Really sad that at the end of it all, they remained apart! But well, some love stories are great just because two can never be together yet their love still endures. Kudos to bringing the heart wrenching emotions to the forefront! Now I'm off to read something happier! Much love!!!'
Author's Response: Aww, thanks so much. This story hurt many of my readers, even the ones who understood why I went the route I did. I cried when I wrote this, so if it can hurt ME, I KNOW it hurt others. But that's what writing is -giving up those comfort zones. >.<

Title: Je t'adore
Kagome has courage to join a club like that. Being picked apart and being told you're no good - that's a pretty harsh roadblock to get through in order to pursue your dreams.
*Grin* I love that the script she's given is based on the show!! And the lines are read by IY and Kags! It's a cute little twist.
A unique relationship huh? Consider my curiousity piqued. Maybe this won't have the typical happy end that I'm used to.
Whoa, that was a heavy confession to give on the phone. No wonder Kagome didn't believe it. But it sounds like InuYasha is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Poor guy.
And poor girl! Looks like she's in the same boat. I liked that line about God sending the perfect, but unavailable, guy. I feel so bad for these two! It's not like Kikyou is a jerk in this fic either. I can't automatically hate her like I always do. All three of them are suffering >.<
I've noticed a few times that the subject of food, or not eating, has been brought up. Am I sensing a darker ailment?
What a beautiful line: "time stood still for a love that could never be." How heart-wrenching. They are in so much pain. I have a feeling that something drastic is about to happen. And of course, the Disney side of me wants a happy ending for this couple.
Well, it wasn't a typical lovey-dovey ending that I usually read, but I still loved this story. Their emotions came across so strongly, all their love and pain and sadness. I was sensing something much darker in this fic, possibly death (where did that come from?) but I'm glad I was wrong. This was a very touching story; their love is so stirring, and they will always be together in their hearts. This reminds me a lot of Casablanca. The lovers may be separated, but they'll "always have Paris."
This is such a great love story. Bravo!
DaGrrrl says: Thank you for such a nice review. :D I always get a kick out of the way you write as you read (I do that, too!). This story is definitely not the typical love triangle. Kikyou was never to blame, nor was she really an obstacle. Kagome held no ill will toward her and InuYasha wasn't this horrible guy, trying to cheat. It was just a piece to say, love happens and it cant be controlled, but sometimes following the heart and throwing the consequences isn't right or fair and it's something that one has to live with. After all, they'll always have Paris, right? :)
