Wow, I thought you would've locked my absent ass out by now.

Anyway, it's been good to back into your fics. It's sweet when Inuyasha has pets. I kind of wish they'd given him one in the show, but they probably out they filled out their quota with Kiara.

DaGrrrl says: Nah, you've got some equity with me. 0.~ I think Yasha with a pet would have been cute, too, but yeah. Kirara was all we got. I mean, I like her, but like Rin and Shippou -I'm just not that into her. lol.

This was a great way to celebrate your anniversary! I've enjoyed it!

DaGrrrl says: Thanks, girly! I just wish I'd write more, but I keep letting myself get distracted. >.<

Woo..this chapter was so emotional and physically appealing..my heart started beating fast!

Wow! I laughed cried and related. Loved the building tension between all the characters and am super psyched for an appearance from sess! Anywho thanks for another great chapter. Hope you're doing well.

Happy Late Anniversary, InuGrrrl!!!

DaGrrrl says: Thanks, Mandeeeeeeeeeeee! *huggles*

This is one of my favorite in progress stories of yours, so I'm glad you were able to update it. I look forward to the next one :)

Stahp. A new skin, two new (to me) chapters of my currently favorite story, and it's your anniversary? Stahp. Don't care if you forced it; I still enjoyed it. And typos? What typos? You still got people on your case about stuff like that? Let me at 'em...

DaGrrrl says: Wow, it's been ages! You have to pop in more often; I was starting to think your account was dead. And yeppers, 8 long-ass years! LOL. Can you believe it?? But at least you still like my junk -forced and all- right? And noooo, no one bugs me about my typos. I was just so tired when I posted it that I didn't properly proofread, so that was just a little warning. Thanks for sticking around all this time!

Loving this so far, its giving me a sort of beauty and the beast type vibe. Only thing is i couldnt for the life of me pinpoint an exact setting, kinda just have to not give a fuck after a while to really enjoy it lol.

DaGrrrl says: Yeah, that's the correct vibe. It's my take on beauty and the beast with a teensy bit of canonesque tossed in for good measure. I don't give settings in my period pieces for a reason, so that's on purpose. But you can think early 1900's. Thanks for the review! :)

You say you struggled to write this but it's still a kickass chapter! I swear everything you write turns out to be amazing :)

DaGrrrl says: Awww, thank you very much! I'm happy you liked it! ^_____^

YESS!!!!!!! You have no idea how excited I was to see that this story was updated!!! I'm so happy to see Kagome and Inuyasha resolve everything between them and Inuyasha is sooo freaking adorable, as usual! It's always so sad to read about how his childhood has affected the way he sees himself now, but I'm super happy that Kagome's giving him the love he deserves :D!!! I loved when he had to ask for help with the buttons lol.

The Lupines are super interesting! I thoroughly expected to dislike Logan Lupine just based on what we've read from other characters' perspectives about the guy, but -sigh- you give him too much backstory and actual personality for me to properly dislike him haha. I can still muster up some yuck for him because he's trying to destroy the forest, so I'll just hold onto that lol.

Btw, I love the newest site art! I didn't know how to comment on it separately, but it's probably my favorite one to date! Aside from the fact that it's straight up hot, it's probably one of my favorite Inuyasha drawings EVER. I keep scrolling up to see it again (and to re-read my favorite parts ^^!) because it's that awesome.

Anyway, you just made me super happy!!! Thanks for updating this story!!!

DaGrrrl says: Rochoa! ^^

Thanks for another lovely, well-written review. I totally appreciate it! I admit that I make InuYasha as adorable as I picture he'd be in that situation -full of innocence, wonder and all the new emotions that come from falling head over heels for someone. He's a fierce creature when he wishes to be -and Kagome has never met that side of him- but their bond grows with each thing they overcome, so i have faith in her that she'll remember how much she loves him when it really counts.

The Lupines are funny. Logan's back story makes him almost likeable, if not sympathetic. He's full of ignorance, arrogance, and pride and that can make for a bad mix. But we'll have to see what happens.

And thanks! This art is one of my all-time faves in my collection. She just KILLED it in every way. He's the InuYasha that best represents my site and the kind of fiction I write. I totally love it! <333

Thanks for the great review!

I just saw your response and I saw my review and I don't know where the rest of my review went. 0_0
I remember that I had atleast another small paragraph raving about how much I loved the chapter because - well duh.. it was cute as heck. I remember also talking about how I really appreciate the effort you still put into writing solely for your loyal readers and how much I'll cry when you officially retire.

DaGrrrl says: Awww, don't worry about it! *HUGS* Absolution is a heifer that way, lol. Sometimes she chops reviews off and stuff (Sowwy! I'll have a talk with her. XD). But I'm glad you liked the chapter! I need to write more, but my hands/arms are giving me shit lately... sigh. Story for my life.

It's been a while since you've written stuff to put me in such tears. But once again, you do not fail. Retreading the last chapter before this one REEEALLY turned on the waterworks...although I could've done with a little more angst haha. And the plot thickening is only making this better! Excited now :D

DaGrrrl says: Awww, that makes me feel a little bad, lol. Just a LITTLE. XD I never really set out to make anyone cry. Shock and surprise, get a few "Awwws", yeah, but never full on tears, so that actually makes me bit happy that I can draw such strong emotions from someone with my written words. Thanks for sharing that.

Btw, just because you did't see a drawn-out angst fest between them doesn't mean that the angst in this story is over. lol. After all this time, you should know me better than that!

That was good, did not expect Sesshomaru to make an appearance. I can already tell this story is going to get even better, if thats even possible. Very excited to see what happens next.

DaGrrrl says: Thanks, Brit. I see a lot of people are buzzing about Sesshomaru, but they probably should read too much into that. I haven't decided what I want to do with him yet. He may have a very minimal part. We'll see.
