AAAAAAAAWWWWWW GOOBEERRRRR!!!!!! *glompglompglomp* I loved this chapter!!! OMG sooo much fluffiness, and I know you're not one for the mushiness either. It was fantastical!! And the ending made me smile and literally go "D'aaawwwww!" Thank you lovely. Two chapters in one week definitely made this lonely week a helluva lot better!! ---Your Nutella (aka jar of sticky-sweet, chocolaty goodness

^^....love, love, love it! I really like how you're portraying Kagura in this story (really fun to read!) And the Inu/Kag fluff was really sweet :) I always thoroughly enjoy your stories Grrrl ... thank you for the update (and for goodness sake, go rest your hands!

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! ^^

Woah! A new chapter not even two days after the previous one! Nice when you go back from fruit harvest! Things are starting to be hot between IY and Kag, and family drama! woo hoo! After so much excitement and work (and sake!) I'm going to bed, good night xD
DaGrrrl says: Can you believe it, B?! My fingers still work, albeit slowly, lol. Now that I've dug in and gotten over a few humps (still a few left, tho), the story seems to be cooperating for me, so I'm pretty happy. Now if only our mutual friend cooperates, too... Hm.... XD

Title: Under the Milky Way
Sesshomaru's behavior is no surprise, but I never would of expected something like this from Izayoi. Now she's only going to push her son further and further away if she keeps at it like this. I wander what Sango's reaction will be once Kagura tells her the truth about Kagome. Then there's Inuyasha and Kagome, I really love the way their relationship is starting up. So what's going to happen next for them? Love ya Grrl! ;)
DaGrrrl says: Yeah, Sess is Sess no matter what universe he's in! XD But it's nice to play with Izayoi. In another universe where demons/hanyou are shunned and feared, her reaction is natural. She thinks she's protecting her son -what mother wouldn't do that? Yeah, it's about her shallowness, too, but she's not being too ridiculous if you stop thinking of her in a canon sense, which I don't write. :) As for IK, they've been behaving for me thus far, so I'm pretty stoked about making progress. Yayz! Thanks for the review! ^^

Title: Under the Milky Way
Hey grrrl, I loved these two chapters! Can you believe I'm developing carpal tunnel syndrome?! It sucks so bad because the pain can come at the worst times and its immensely painful.
As for the chapter, Izayoi is a bitch. Sesshomarou is himself, toga I kinda feel sorry for haha. Inuyasha and kAgome all the way though! I want to see jinenji sometime soon. I know things aren't looking great for inuyasha and all the plotting his mother is doing, but I hope I get to find out soon. Thanks for updating!!!
DaGrrrl says: Oh no.... -another CTS victim. =/
Take some free advice: Buy hand braces for time when you're going to use the computer a lot/write a lot. There are the ones that you strap on that have hard support for the wrist and such, but there are also cheap ones. They're completely soft, fingerless, and they have a tight, spandex-type fit. I used those a lot for light support -and they're cheap. About a buck or two if you live near a dollar store. The other braces are usually under $20. Also, motrin and bengay help because as the CT gets worse, the pain will move up your forearms. It sucks, but as long as you protect yourself and try to take it easy, it won't get too bad -I hope.
As for the chapter, Jinenji will appear soon enough. He's a big part of the story, but he's not in a lot of scenes because he never leaves his farm very much and IK have college and home lives, so while he is the 3rd most important character, don't expect him in a ton of scenes. Plus, this story is a novella, so it will be ending soon enough. It was never meant to be too long, so I'm hoping to wrap it up soon. ^^

Title: Under the Milky Way
Oh wow another chapter!
I'm sooooo happy this is the one you chose to update, I'm always so excited to see what happens next! I just hope you have as much fun writing it as we all do reading it :D
Inukag are amazing together in this fic it's definitely one of my favourite portrayles of them from you! Sometimes it made me mad in the tv series and manga how inuyasha was treated and it's always made me interested to read about how writers interpret the swap in possitions as you have :)
Anyways I love this as per usual and hope your okay Hun!! x
DaGrrrl says: Thanks, Sarah! <33
I hate how long this has taken to really get started. For some reason, I kept losing my direction on this fic and getting stuck -majorly stuck o.O- but now I have a better handle on it, so I'm making up for lost time (at least a bit :P). I love IK in this now ( >.> I hated this fic before). They're cute and I'm having more fun with my role reversal.
In this, I'm hoping to make things a little different/better than InuYasha's position was as a hanyou in the canon. Where Kagome was too childish/shy/whatever to assert herself as the one who loved InuYasha and wanted to be with him (as a girlfriend), I have Yash going for it. I think that's what we ALL wanted to see in the canon!
Thanks for the great reviews, always. I appreciate them!

Title: The Noise Inside My Head
I beginning to feel like a closet sadist because I look forward to the bite scenes. I was like "Yes Kagome!!! Bite him! Nom that gorgeous neck!" I was really pissed Souta interrupted. Maybe I should seek some kind of counseling...Nah! Write on, Grrrl!!!
DaGrrrl says: LOL! Biting him like that wouldn't have been a good idea. XD But the good news is that he appeals to her youkai, which is always nice. And poor Souta! He was only trying to help. :P

Title: No Hidden Catch, No Strings Attached...
The more stories I read, the bigger a fan I become of Sango. Sango could be my homegirl and drunk Sango seems like she's a lot of fun to be around. I love Kagura's personality here as well.
And finally,"I don't need a couple of letters on my chest to safeguard what's mine." I love finding these one-liners from Inuyasha that merit a "Helga Pataki sigh". =)
DaGrrrl says: I love my modern Sango -plural- because I like making her fiesty, fun and laid back. She's the ideal best friend who's ready to beat the hell out of anyone who messes with her buds, but can also show you a good time. As for Yasha, he's a romantic at heart, which makes him a little dreamy. <33

Title: How Far am I Willing to Go?
I love the idea of Kagome and Inuyasha switching roles!!! I also found it pleasantly surprising that you used DST as Sango's sorority. The more I read, the more I learn about you, Grrrl!!
DaGrrrl says: The role reversal was actually my kid brother's idea -I just ran with it. :D But my readers seem to enjoy it, so I guess it all worked out. :D And yeah, I tried to keep certain things in the story rooted in real life, but I should probably add a disclaimer somewhere... :P

:Does happy dance singing "they're finally together": and wow I'm pretty much hating Inu's mom right now...nice, dont see that often at all
DaGrrrl says: LOL! Yup, they're finally an awkward, fumbling, but cute couple. But that doesn't mean they won't have their ups and downs. They're actually -as far as serious relationships go- each other's firsts, so there's bound to be mixed signals and stuff, especially on Kagome's part. InuYasha has some work cut out for him.
You know, I feel sorry for Izayoi. >.> Cause y'all HATE her. lol.

your wrists, your back. poor baby, i hope you feel better soon. =(
wonder why her brother didn't tell her about her unstable youkai's tendency to overpower her in times of extreme excitement (be it fear, pain or other things).
looks like sesshoumaru's life might just get somewhat interesting and one wonders what kinds of explosions are going to happen. xD
sweet, this was quick so i guess you did overwork your wrists *massages your hands* take it easy for a bit and feel better.
DaGrrrl says: Ginny!
My back is a lot better now. Thanks for the sympathy. <333 I got this topical pain cream from my doc (motrin was upsetting my stomach because I was taking 4-6 per day at 800mg each), and it works like a gift from God. I rub it into the areas that hurts, and within 20 minutes the pain is gone. It's amazing. Not sure what it's called, but it's been beautiful! It even helps my arms when they ache from the carpal tunnel. So now, only my hands are bitching at me (But it's still better than having both problems!)
As for the story, there's more to the issue than her losing her youkai with extreme excitement -that's why Souta is keeping quiet (and so am I!). As for Sess, well, let's just say that he may be on course to finally meet his match. XD I want to update again fast, but I may not physically be able to. *grumble* Carpal truly sucks. =/

(*o) Rubs wrists and *o.o beats Sesshoumaru and Izayoi. I honestly can't stand her. She's whining and crying right now but does she honestly think after she does what she is planning Inuyasha will come running to her. HMPH. As for Inu and Kags they are so adorable the last scene was cute. (*^) rubs wrist faster so you can get to typing.
DaGrrrl says: (o*?) You so mean to the poor Mama! She just doesn't want her son to get in with a "bad" crowd. Or embarrass his family. Or gross her out. lol.
Now make with the rubbin'! *o.o*

Sneaky much? :D
I was just about to go to sleep (and yes i've been falling asleep and waking up throughout this read!:P)
So worth it!!
Sesshomaru is a facking ass man... but I'd be a lying nun if I say it doesnt turn me on like a flick of a light switch :D...I do not understand - for the love of all thing...everything! - why i can nvr hate Sesshy or completely hate him whenever your write him!! hot fudge dangit!! Also liking the Kagura bit? Dunno.. this is one triangle i nvr play favoritism when it comes to sesshy/rin or sesshy/kagura. I like them equally :3
Also... slight amnesia? Woot - how i love this twist...and I feel like Kagome's done something big... something... b...i...g (again i might be fishing for shit lol)... But Souta is so cute and mature/wise. I like his little bit.
I was kind of hoping for some frisky starry action tween inu n kags. Le chuckles... Ah well - they advanced and am happy about that. I love how its like Kagome is the dominant in the relationship.. Submissive Inuyasha is fucking hot!!! :3
Also...Izzy? My anger is barely contained... (*hold me back inu - hold me the fack back!!!*) ARGH... I understand she feels she's doing what's best... but dammit. I can't stand that bitch...and I get a sense of satisfaction when Inu cussed her out AND when she wonders about her and akiko in comparison. Taaaaake it bitch!
Wonder how Toga is gonna react when he find out (plus i love toga alright? I'm a kitten... i have a thing for older fictional guys :3 haha)
Ooooh, more so pressing. How will they react to hanyou ol' kaggie huh?
EPICNESS UP AHEAD!!!
So glad to see an update... Sleep is...hell i have insomnia!!! @__@ haha

Two chapters in two days? Sweet! Thank you for working so hard!
This story is soooo freakin' adorable, and I'm seriously dreading the inevitable shitstorm looming in the distance. I just want to enjoy how cute Inuyasha and Kagome are right now. Ugh. I gotta say, I was skeptical of the whole reverse-hanyou idea at first, but you pulled it off, girl! You. Pulled. It. OFF!
I'm so glad Kagura and Sango are cool with Kagome (Sango doesn't seem to know what a hanyou is, so I'm assuming she won't have any prejudice). If Kagome had any more enemies, I'd just be heartbroken.
Also, can't wait to see the moment Kagura and Sessh meet, hehe.

Things are heating up. One's point of view reflects a lot of things that sometimes happen in real life. I hope nothing bad happens to Akiko and Jinenji. Really I can't wait for Kagome to meet Jinenji. I can't wait to see what'll happen next. Thanks!

Title: The Noise Inside My Head
OMG I AM FROTHING AT THE MOUTH BECAUSE I'M SO EXCITED AND ANGRY AND HAPPY AND ANGRY AGAIN!!!! I really want to dislike Inuyasha's parents (and to a degree, I do), but I actually somewhat understand where they're both coming from (which, of course, makes me feel like a bad person haha!). Izayoi's so many things that I dislike in a person, but you write her POV so well, I feel like I would want to do what she's doing too! She (seems at least) like she's been in the lap of luxury her whole life and based on her little schemes in this chapter, she doesn't appear to have much empathy at all for Jinenji and his mom...despite knowing that they mean so much to Inuyasha (or probably /because/ she knows what they mean to him and she deems them "lower class" people). Gahhh, haha I'm such a conflicted good/bad person! And of course, I LOVED the scenes with Inuyasha and Kagome. They're so sweet and despite Kagome trying to hold back, it's obvious that they're both care about each other! I'm super curious what'll happen to them from this point on after that little episode in the park! Thanks for the update :D!! I loved this!

Hellooooooo! ^^
It's great to see you writing again -- thank you for the wonderful update :)
I really enjoy the way you've portrayed Inu and Kags here (so so sweet ^^); I love the way she's very slowly starting to open up to him, and how sweet and patient he is about it. I know this is a difficult one for you to write, but anytime you do a chapter it is always a joy to read! Thanks again, and I hope all is well!
Take care,
Rana ;)
DaGrrrl says: Rana! <33
Thanks for the lovely review! I appreciate it! I was shocked by how nicely this one cooperated. In fact, I'm going to update it again in a few hours. I wanted to get it done earlier, but I had things to do. ^^; But yeah, it's wonderful to be writing again and I hope the momentum lasts!

Title: The Noise Inside My Head
Their date was perfect and so cute! I love how Souta was the best little brother and realized that he should probably let them be together for a while. Inuyasha's mom is not a nice person lol. I sincerely hope that she has a reason for everything she's doing (I'm pretty sure she's just trying to keep her family together).
However, I am constantly amazed by your attention to detail and research while most people wouldn't bother and just kind of make certain places up. I shouldn't be surprised because I've followed you since you started, but I still am. In my opinion, you want the story to be as real as it could get (if that makes sense).
DaGrrrl says: Thanks for the nice review! I admit that sometimes I prefer to create a completely fictional land, but when I use a real place, I like to have a bit of authenticity. I don't want to go overboard, but I think those small touches make the story a little more real. So I'm happy you noticed! XD I'm going to update this story again later today, so expect some drama and a little more IK-ness! :D
