I love this story! So glad to see you updated and can't wait for more :)

YAY! (FYI- I got so excited when I saw the update). Anyways, I really am not liking InuYasha's parents at the moment. I guess their kinda like the antagonists of the story, bubbling the pot. No InuYasha or Kagome stuff in this chapter but Im thinking that might change next time? Well I can wish on a star anyways haha...

DaGrrrl says: Thanks for the review. I appreciate it ^^ It's important to remember that while InuYasha and Kagome are the main characters, they're not the only ones. There will be chapters where they do not appear together -and that goes for all of my stories- because unless it's an extreme case (Like The Neighbor), I have other storylines that need developing within every fiction, so it won't always be about them. In this case, certain things had to happen in order to move the story. :)

Awesome! and getting quite interesting on the home front with Sess and the mama. ;)
Hope you be feeling better, musume.

Hugzz

DaGrrrl says: OnnaMom~ I feel lousy, but not as wretched as a few days ago so I guess that's some improvement? =/

Well they just pushed the Big Red Button.. BOOOMMM!!! Now I just hate to think of what Izayoi's going to do! So Kagome has no idea she transorms when that happens, she just thinks she has blackout spells? Well, at least things are going okay with her and Inuyasha.... Oh God, what would his family think if they found out about her!? I just thought of that, it didn't cross my mind before, I only thought about him hanging out with Jinenji and his ma. XD OOooooo, what happens next!!?? Love ya Grrl, and say Happy Birthday to your brother for me!

DaGrrrl says: Thanks so much for the nice review and birthday wishes, babes. I appreciate it! Haha @ you forgetting about Kagome VS the parents. Oh, that's something I'm sure InuYasha never wants to imagine! Jinenji is just a friend, but Kagome -she could be daughter-in-law material. They'd have a fit, I'm sure. But we can only wait and see how it plays out. This isn't a long story (In fact, it's already running longer than anticipated), so it shouldn't be too long before we find out what happens. :D

Yay, another new awesome chapter!

I really don't like InuYasha's parents. Glad Inu finally took charge and moved out! I can't wait to find out Izayoi's next move.

Souta is such a little cutie patootie. I love his and Kags relationship.

Take it easy, and I hope you and your friend get better soon!

DaGrrrl says: Aisha ^^ Girl, it became the flu, so I've been laid up all week. I haven't had this since grade school, so I seriously wasn't prepared. I'm so weak and out of it, just responding to these reviews are taking a toll and this is days later. =/ But my friend is out of the hospital and doing well, so there's SOME good news, right? :D

Hey, I'm not a brat! You are the one who is the brat!

So either Izayoi's going to be pissed at Toga because he made Inuyasha leave by laying the hammer down, or she's getting madder at Akiko "stole" her son. Oi...

DaGrrrl says: You're gonna always be my bratty kid brother, so deal. XD

LOL @ laying down the hammer. He did, didn't he? He's a lot more like Izayoi than I thought! Now, I wonder how I'm gonna mess up everyone's lives this time... *evil cackle*

wow, his parents sounded like my dad in the late 70's when my brother in law, keith came to ask my dad if he could date my sister. daddy offered him a few thousand dollars to forget it, that's when keith informed him he was going to marry her. daddy chased after him and tried to strangle keith with keith's tie daddy was 5'11" and keith is a 6'2" mechanic (it's one of those stories looking back on was so funny, especially when keith told it... i was there and it was kind of funny/scary at the time it was happening). interesting thing is that my siblings and i were never raised with any kind of prejudice... i guess people with darker skin were okay with daddy unless one of his daughters married one of 'them' and only because he was worried about what the 'neighbors' would say. = he didn't accept them back until the first granddaughter was born but he used to tell us not to take her out in the sun and i caught him pinching her nose a little trying to make it narrow once when she was a baby. *shakes head* but that didn't last long, she had grampap wrapped around her little finger. xD and he was so proud when all five kids made high honors in school. =)

too bad inuyasha's family is so closed minded and blind.

loves ya!

DaGrrrl says: Ginny! <33

That story actually made me laugh! It was probably a bit sadder at the time, but looking back on it, knowing that your father eventually came around and adored his grandkids, I can't help but crack a smile at the thought of Keith getting chased.

Back in those days -and even now- you do have a lot of people that are fine with darker skin, so long as that skin isn't becoming part of the family. They don't think they're racist, but its ingrained in their fabric and they just don't fully realize it. I'm a mutt, and my family is interwoven with Black, Native American, Asian, and White (Biologically and through marriage), so we pretty much accept everyone. But I do have 2nd and 3rd cousins on both sides today who are just like your father was back then. It really depends on the person.

And you're right. InuYasha' whole family is blinded by the same sorts of things: Appearances, fear, and misunderstandings. They don't want to be "seen" associating with people who are inferior in the eyes of their friends, even though it shouldn't matter. In that regard, they're pretty realistic.

woah things begin to be intense in there :D

DaGrrrl says: Yo B!!! XDD (I had to do it!) I'll be hitting that chapter this week -with any luck- so don't be too surprised if you get some mail from me! ^^

*runs around squealing and flailing* SQUEEEEEEE OH MAH GAWWWDDDD AN UPDATE!!! Goooobbeerrrrr OMG I loved this!!! Admittedly I was hoping for some more InuKag interaction, but I know this chapter was necessary to progress the plot so I was still very happy with it. Kinda happy when Yash decided to move out, but I hope mama won't be too rash...oh boy. Hah. Anyway, well done as always Goobers. :) I am never disappointed. Keep up the smashing work doll, and no pressure!! I do read your blog, and I know you haven't been feeling well with you wrists and such. Take care of yourself, yeah? :)

DaGrrrl says: NUTELLLLLLA!!!!! <33333

Spoken like a true writer! You understood exactly why I had to post this in this way. You rock! I'm already working on the next chapter (and you WILL get your InuKag goodness XD), so maybe I can gt it up in a few days. I've got some crap going on in RL (My wrists were being shady and I caught some kind of weird cold. I'm coughing all over the place and my throat is sore. On top of that, my friend is in the hospital again, though he should be -hopefully- going home later today), so this took a few days longer than intended. But I'm hoping to make it up with another really soon. Thanks so much for all the luv and support, babes. You're loved in New York! *GLOMPS*

Yay I was so happy to see this new chapter!!!
I love this series but I think its sad that kagome has no idea that she is able to turn full demon. And I love the relationship between Kagome and Souta its really sweet ;)

DaGrrrl says: Thanks. :) But I don't think this qualifies as a series since it's a standalone fic that won't have a sequel. ^^

Oh, crap. I foresee things getting much worse before they get better. It's unfortunate his family are such snobs, but it's wonderful he isn't afraid to stand up for what's right. I like that about this story.

DaGrrrl says: Thanks for the comment luv, E. :)

I'm soooo behind in this story :p but i'm catching up! Secrets, secrets, secrets, can't wait to learn what's going on with our "pretty puppy".

Damn, each time I read this and read "leap of faith" I think about ONE THING: Assassin's creed! xD I have to go play now :D
