I usually only read yaoi but for some reason you pulled me into your story. I think porabably because of the way you convey the emotions of the characters in the first 2 chapters. Excellent.

Finally!! I can't tell you how long I have been waiting for a good story to come along.
First of all, your summary drew me in. Might be because you actually had one. The flow
of your story is great, no grammar or spelling errors that I spotted and even if there are
any I will overlook them just because you have an actual plot. I am giddy with joy. I will
keep an eye on your story.

HOLY CRAP....

*Sabichan blinks dumbfounded*

Wow.

I'm blown away. Plain and simple, Sabichan is blown away.
FIrst, off-chapone one was so incredibly descriptive, I read it twice, playing it out in my head the second time round. It was just amazing, so detailed and sat so comfortably on that line of Real Life and Fanfiction. Hmm, hard to explain what I mean by that, but here's a try.
There's always a fine line in fanfiction-the one that separates the fan universe from our real daily lives. In the fan universe, things are, shall we say, smoothed over. In the actual IY manga/anime, you never read about Kagome having to shave her legs or something. Ah, but in a real life scenario, it'd be something you'd have to mention at least once, right? So there is a line between things are just a given, and things that are real and have to be addressed.
And like I said, your fic sit very nicely on that line, yet never strays too far to either side. The detail of the blood and gore gives the real life feel to it, but somehow it continues to maintain a kind of fantasy innocence.
If none of that made any sense, I'll admit, I haven't slept in like two days (went to AX in Anaheim). But if that was more than just unintelligible, then I'll just say this:

WOOOOOWWEEEEEE!
*that's more like Sabichan*

Anywho, I meant to review when you frrst posted, but obviously that didn't happen, ne? So here I am now, giving you a ten star, four thumbs (?) up review! I loved it, I'm hooked! The second chapter was very bittersweet, very moving. I love where this is going, I'm excited to see where this lovely and unique idea will take us! One of the perks to having an Inu with no memory is that no one can really say he's being OOC, huh?! Hell, he doesn't even know what his character is!
Anywho, I'm really impressed with this fic. It's got a lovely flow, wonderful pacing, and a fine balance of drama and hope. Kagome's reactions are so perfectly portrayed, and so realistic, it's so easy to relate to. I can see this has the potential for length (which I'm crossing my fingers for!), and I'll offer a piece of Sabichan advice cake: Don't let anyone tell you to "make them get 2gether sooon, plz!!"
This is your fic, and you decide what happens, and just how damn long it takes for that to happen. If you wanna make this long, please by all means, makefiftfifty chapters-or only five if that's what you want.
Okay, tirade is o sor sorry....
Once again, great story, greay IDEA, and your writing is wonderful!
Thanks so much for sharing with us!

Oh gosh...I'm *so* happy that Inu wasn't left brain damaged...I totally would have cried.

I think this is the first realistically written story I've read about Inu losing his memory and the subsequent results. Most stories love to have Kaglosilosing her memory instead!

I like your pace and the fact that you're giving a lot of thought to what both Inu and Kag are going through regarding his amnesia and what it could mean not only to them as individuals but also to their relationship with one another....and I'm sure in the next few chapters we'll read about how it affects their quest.

Heheh...it will be interesting to see what Inu's reaction will be to Kikyo eventually - I'm hoping he'll have *no* memory of her and his foolish promise to her; in fact, I 'm hoping that even if Inu's memories do return he won't remember her - well, at least the guilt he feels for her resurrected form - is that asking too much?

ahh...I'm such a rabid Inu-Kag fan!

Very solidly written, excellent first chapter to jump into a great fanfiction.
