Title: No Hidden Catch, No Strings Attached...
So I read your blog in between stories and I just want to say that if you don't feel apprectiated and you feel uninspired then yeah you shouldn't have to update I personally am just grateful for what you have already done your work in wonderful! I'm drawn to each story and considering how many you have and that I'm generally into canon stories says a lot about your skills! I'd curse the people who don't review but I know that I've been that person so to prevent my self from hypocrisy I'll simply say I'm sorry for ever letting any author I enjoy not know how much I appreciate all the hard work and time that goes into these let's face it works of art!
Also I LOVE this story and man each chapter just gets better and better!
Thanks again and again,
Jenn

Title: How Far am I Willing to Go?
Yay for Kagome trying to actually live her life instead of bitch at it! Inuyasha is just such a nice guy, he so deserves his feisty hanyou. I really like you've got Sango hitting it off with Kagome so well, and Miroku looking out for her too. That's very telling of their relationship, even if he is doing it based off of getting laid. I cannot wait to see what Inuyasha's parents think of him playing baseball! That could work out perfectly to his benefit, and get them off of his case! Oh and holy pink twinkies Ayame the bad demon? Never ever saw that coming, way to keep me on my toes!

Title: A Worthwhile Pursuit?
That scene with Kagome and her brother was so sweet and endearing! Poor girl has too much hurt and anger than she knows what to do with! I can totally see why Inuyasha hates being around his family, his mother and brother especially, but what I don't get is how he turned out so unprejudiced? How he was able to overcome that for so many years, becoming an outcast himself and having most of his friends forsake him must have been terrible. Kagome has had it rough as well, I'm sure. I'm really interested in Akiko's reaction to her name too.

Title: No Hidden Catch, No Strings Attached...
Now that I finally have time to sit down and read...
"Mudblood?" Has someone been sneaking into the Harry Potter? Do I need to stage an intervention?
Oh dear, poor Inu has sent Ayame into a frenzy, and now she's hungry like the wolf. Does that mean she's going to start smelling like she sounds? What does that even mean?
7 hours in heaven? That's a long time... And then Kagome threw the ticket away anyway.
Sango kind of reminded me of Nancy's mom in the first Elm Street movie when she was drunk."Locked, locked, locked. I locked it all up."
One last night of fun for her before Miroku kills her and Kagura dead.
It would have been cool of Inu to mention Jinenji during Kagome's pity fest at the end. I know why he wouldn't if he was trying to make her believe she wasn't a charity case; but his best friend's a hanyou. There's no way he doesn't get tons of grief for that. He could have stopped her "you don't know what it's like" Simple Plan emo-fest cold, and it's not like she'll never get to meet Jinenji and his mother. He probably wants Kagome to meet them more than his own family.

Title: Human, Demon, or Other?
I am so sorry but this is the first chance I've had to read all day! That's what I get for taking so much time away yesterday. I think I started this before, but it's not something I would have ever thought to do. Total role reversal! It's so unique, I mean alot of people will do them both hanyou, but never Inuyasha as a human and Kagome a hanyou. I'm digging the kinder, gentler side of Inuyasha and I'm really digging a bad ass Kagome that's sick of pretty much everything but sleep. I love me some bad ass Kagome!

Title: No Hidden Catch, No Strings Attached...
Aw, I loved this chapter! So sweet how Kagome is finally giving InuYasha a chance, and how Kagura--who was AWESOME as the voice of reason and hilarious along with drunk!Sango (LOL @ beatboxing!)--talked some sense into her. Can't wait to see where they go from here! And if miroku really will get let out in the morning xD
You captured the party scene perfectly...right down to the douchey "bro" screaming outdated lines like "righteous," lol. Loved the bit of possesiveness IY displayed when he caught onto other guys checking out his "bunny" and when Kagome told him what the tickets were for. And even though most times its just a front, I love Kagome's tough-as-nails personality. Its a nice change for her, especially when she's not afraid to use it against people like Ayame - who >.> seems to be getting a little ahead of herself, just like another wolf we all know and "love" ;)
Awesome/exciting update!
Da Grrrl Says: LOL! Isn't that the truth about the outdated lines, though??? And they swear they sound cool and everyone is on their shit. The college party atmosphere never changes. LMAO.
Kagura is fun, isn't she? Really blunt and direct. And I have no idea why Sango started rappin'. I only wrote what i saw in my head, I swear! xD
This is one of my favorite InuYasha's along with Violin Yasha. They're both so sweet you just can't help it. This chapter wasn't as much as a menace as the last few were, so I'm hoping I can do it again quickly and it will play nice again.
Ayame is <.< a lot like him, probably a little worse. Shankies for the luv, like always. <3

I love the role reversal in this story, and the way you're portraying the characters (a really great read!) -- thank you for the chapter, and I hope things are a little better for you! You're in my thoughts!
Take care,
Rana ;)
Da Grrrl Says: Thanks, Rana! ^^
This story gives me a hard time, which is why updates take years, literally. But this one wasn't that much trouble and I'm hoping I can do it again really soon. I'm glad you liked it! :D
And thanks for the concern. Things are okay, though my hands are a little shot after consecutive updates without rest. But still, it was nice to be productive. ^_^

OMG ^______________^* I lub this chapter. Kagome is like >.> pure NYC and bitter and feisty all rolled up into one. I also like the way Kagura was portrayed. Inuyasha is so adorable and that last scene .-. was so touching. o.o* I demand more (* o) will become like the rest of the readers who be demanding updates ASAP. (o.o) Then again I want to keep my account. SOOOO whenever you can! ^_^* This was good!
Da Grrrl Says: (o*?) Wefooses to be likened to certain hanyou in this story.
Kagura is fun, but she got her eye on you. *o.-*
Demands = beatings.
You are also a KAU!

I really like this! I love the way you've switched things up with the characters -- I haven't read many stories with this twist and you do it so well (as always!)
On a side note, I hope everything is going OK. I know you have a lot on your plate right now -- you're in my thoughts *hugs*

Title: If I Met You Halfway...
Ooh, I'm loving that inspiration hit for this one and the way things are headed for IY/K. His persistence is adorable and the way he's fighting against his family (with good reasons. What pretentious assholes!)brings some interesting drama. I'm excited (and probably a little nervous) to see how far Izayoi will go and if it'll effect Jinenji and his mom. Then I wanna see how big of a shit she flips when InuYasha brings hanyou!Kagome home XD
Sweet how Kagome and her Mom are kind of mending things and that she gave her the encouragement to go to the party and maybe open herself up a little bit. The Sango/Kagura/Miroku thing was hilarious (the poor guy just can't win!), and the Inu/Kag encounter...sizzling. Lookit him being all "devilishly" charming. I love it! Here's hoping he gets let into "heaven" with that suit...and with Kagome, of course. And I'm wondering what the charity is. Maybe it has something to do with hanyou? Sesshomaru sure sounded excited to lend a helping hand XD
Awesome/exciting chapter!

Title: If I Met You Halfway...
ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh. !!!!!! I'm SO excited that you updated this, you have no idea. And am I dreaming, or did I get a shoutout in an IG fic?! You actually made my day :]
That being said, another fabulous update of course! I checked out the picture of IY's costume - yum ;) and it's great to see that Kags is finally coming around a little to his antics. Their relationship is adorable in this fic; he's just this cutie poking at a rock shell :3
The whole Taisho clan really does piss me off though, probably as much so as it does IY. His brother is a total douche and his parents just don't get it.. and if they don't like Akiko/Jinenji, I can't see them being too thrilled about his relationship with Kags either. And that's stretched thin enough as it is, so their disapproval isn't going to win him any points with her.. *sigh*
Reading the frat party sections made me kind of apprehensive for college - I'm starting this fall and I'm wondering if the people actually get that crazy, LOL. I guess it's the kind of thing that's just there if you're looking for it. Sango and Kagura were so cruel to poor Miro though :P
I also love that Kagome is starting to trust people and let her mother into her life. While it's a bummer that trust has always gotten her into bad situations before, she was making her own life miserable by not opening up to anyone, and it's good to see her make an effort to trust that others won't hurt her.
YESSS IY grew a backbone and walked out ;D I'm rooting for him all the way, he doesn't need a trust fund or a name to make it.
"'You're wearing black, too,' he reminded, closing more distance. 'Does that mean we'd look good together?'" was probably my favorite line in the whole chapter. I literally went SQUEEEE in my mind. I'm so excited for the next chapter - their progressing relationship makes me feel warm and fuzzy ^_^
Amazing job as always, and you know I'm waiting on tenterhooks for the next one. Hope everything's going well, grrrl.
love, cass :)

Title: If I Met You Halfway...
Well... That was unexpected... YIKES! I got it! They rock... *Goes into hiding*
Well, Inuyasha's Mommie Dearest seemed pretty ominous at the end, there. This can't bode well for Jinenji & family... I have to laugh at the thought of Sesshoumaru & his parents caring about a charity bash to help the less fortunate, considering their attitudes about Inuyasha hanging out with Jinenji... Glad to see Inuyasha growing a pair. Any chance he's moving in with Jinenji?
Don't know why, but Inuyasha & Izayoi's argument made a Sue Sylvester quote pop in my head, "I won't be burying any hatchets, William unless I happen to get a clear shot to your groin."
Da Grrrl Says:
That's right, we rock, dammit! *shakes fist* :P
You know, Sesshomaru was being sarcastic when he said "Because someone has to do it." lol. Izzy and Toga are more patronizing. Sure, help the less fortunate, but don't get in the dirt with them, know what I mean? They'd be happier if InuYasha wrote Jinenji a check rather than actually spend time with him -and Izzy is definitely up to no good. Should I give you a hint? How did Toga make his fortune? >.> *Ominous music plays*
On behalf of InuYasha, when did he not ever have a pair? He was fighting them on Jin all along! *Protects the king*
Who's Sue Sylvester and why do I think I should know? >.< And I started the next chapter -gasp! Maybe it won't take me another 8 months to post it! o.O

"You're wearing black, too," he reminded, closing more distance. "Does that mean we'd look good together?" and "Show me how you move." are my favorite lines...Inuyasha is smoooooth! lol....can't wait to read more!
Da Grrrl Says: Thanks, La! It means so much to see that you like it. :D This story gives me SUCH a hard time. It hates, me >.> it really does! But I'm battling it slowly, but surely. My hope is that I can get another update up fast and stop letting this thing make me its bitch! LOL.
And I agree, this InuYasha is a real sweetie -and he's not even done with her yet!

I haven't gotten to bother you since I deaded my FB account! xD *bothersbothers*
I thought you may have given up on this thing by now! This story beats my ass on the regular, but I'm really trying to make it behave so I'm deliriously happy that you liked the update. I had so many little things to get through, but I finally did and we're at the party!

I love it.. This story is amazing as always. I hope for an update soon! I like the switch in roles between kagome and inuyasha. I've seen some other one's like that, but not tastefully done like yours is. The other stories always felt like i was reading the same one, when they switched inuyasha and kagome's roles. So thank you again for more of an amazing story!!
Da Grrrl Says: Thanks, babes! I so appreciate the great review. I've been blocked on this fic and it took me months of writing and rewriting before it was decent enough to post. >.< I'm still not completely happy with it, but I couldn't sit on it any longer if this fiction was ever going to come back from the dead. It makes my day that you liked it. Thank so much! I've never read a Hanyou Kagome story (that's actually not a concept I'm interested in, despite writing about it now), so it's seriously awesome that you think it's going so well, all things considered. My hope is to not take 8 months to hit this thing again! *prays*
