Wow, you never cease to amaze me! This latest installment was simply stunning by its own merits. I’m not even sure where to start with this review; there are several things that I wish to express. First off, I am honored by your kind words and it makes me all warm inside that you would even consider the notion of writing this amazing story partially for me. It makes me feel very special. To me, this story is a extraordinary jewel that I have come to treasure—it’s so different and unique that it has captured my attention indefinitely. You really are a different breed of writer, you have this unique quality that cannot be expressed it words, instead, it needs to be appreciated. For that, I thank you. Please, never doubt yourself and know, in your heart, that what you do is amazing. I don't write things like this to merely praise someone for the sake of giving praise-- I do so because it is the truth, to do otherwise would be going against the very nature that is me. Once again, thank you.
I have to say, I never would have guessed Fujita to be a man. After reading “But she was not always a woman,” part of me was shocked, and went to re-read the line, haha. And the other part was like “Yes, it makes sense.” I mean, if one looks back and analyzes things—you can see little clues? There was always just an air about Fujita that seemed to be off, for lack of better wording. Or perhaps I am over analyzing things? I tend to do that from time to time. I am not sure how to address Fujita and more—he or she? I think I’ll continue to call Fujita she, to keep things simple. I wonder, has Fujita became so entrenched in being a female that she actually considers herself to be one—or does she still feel part of her to be man, and maybe that is responsible for her fascination with Kagome, you know, the touching and coddling. And then there’s that thing with Sesshoumaru—that rumor that he and Fujita we lovers. Hmm. I am guessing this did not bode well with him, lol. But perhaps, if Fujita did align her self to be all woman that maybe she did fancy him in that way and thought it to be appropriate? I took a human relations and sexuality class a few years back and this chapter made me think of it about when we studied gender confusion and other such topics. Your story always has me thinking, and I love it. This chapter also evoked a feeling of sympathy for Fujita. Life must be so hard, and sometimes we forget what it must be like to be someone else. So this is only half of the surprise twist? I’m quite intrigued! One can only wonder what other wheels are turning in your brain and what exactly the next part of the surprise can be. Ouuu—I cannot wait!!
I think that perhaps my favorite part of this chapter was the introduction of Sesshoumaru at the age of 14. You captured him so well that it just made me grin and giggle. This: “He did not take the place near his father; instead he took a place as far as he could from the bonfire, as if the cold weather didn't bother him at all” might have been my favorite sentence out of the entire chapter; mind you, it is always quite hard to pick when it comes to this story because everything is just impeccable. And then Sesshoumaru dismissing Fujita by ignoring him… All I can say is touché my friend, touché.
Another part that had me thinking was the section about making the wish. I was trying to think of wishes that would be pure and selfless. I mean, even if you wish for the well being of everyone, aren’t you also wishing that upon your self, even if indirectly. Because perhaps that by wishing for the well being of others you are also raising your self up in the eyes of someone else, say, for instance, a god or someone in the after life, and you know that reward will come to you them. And even if you think that you are being selfless and altruistic, there is really an underlying selfishness that you might not even be aware of… yes, confusing, I know—I’ve been thinking about it for about 20 minutes now and its mind boggling, hahaha. But once again, maybe I am reading too far into things. I guess that I would rather have complex cognition than be mindless.
The last thing that I will comment on is the line of “lives were precious above all.” It reminded me of someone saying “here at Camelot, lives are precious above all. That might not have been the exact wording but somewhere buried in my mind was that quote.
Well, I suppose that it is time to wrap this up, as I am sure that I have written a lengthy letter by now, haha. Not that I mind. It just seems to easy to write a review because there is always so much that I wish to express to you; your story inspires me. Once again, spectacular job, I love and adore your work, and I cannot wait to see what happens next!!!

Thank you so much for telling me about the latest chapter, I am truely greatful. I thought it was a wonderful chapter, and I loved how sesshoumaru made up with her...In a way, Uh >.>" I dont think you are suppose to scream at someone while telling them to stay true to you. *Shrugs.* I guess dog demons are different from humans in their emotions. Ok, please keep me updated on any new chapters, which means you're free to email me still.

Hello again, it's been a while ^_^. Anywho, I'm glad you like my reviews, but I also can't help complimenting those who deserve it. You really do deserve all of them. I believe that you can be a great writer. You have that wierd little spark of something that I can't name that makes your stories great, not boring, addicting, easy yet complex and many more things. And not to worry about answering my questions all too soon, no need. Just take your time on writing this story so it can be the best. You certainly have the capacity and right imagination to pull it off. Okaaaay, I think I better stop now before I get too carried away. I'll resume complimenting you when you finish the next chapter. Don't forget not to hurry, ne.
Ja ne.
Ja ne.

I'll summize what I'm feeling in one word... whoa... just... whoa............ But you'd probably want more than that. =P The emotion, the depths of the characters in this story is simply amazing. I get pulled into their world, their pain, their loss. It's an interesting experience. And I just adore how Fujita seems to love and not quite hate, but something else, something complex, indefined. And how Kagome is Kagome. Not some warrior princess all tough and rough. But she can handle her own, she has her own pains, she loves and she's fragile but very capable. And I find how she seems to draw everyone into loving her without her knowing so fascinating. I find it's not so much the plot but the characters personalities that make the plot. Just watching their own turmoil, what the go through makes the plot of the story. I was conflictated between being sad at Inuyasha dieing, wanting her to get together with Sesshoumaru, and wanting her to run away with Fujita to spite Sesshoumaru. And of course Naraku, kinda feel sorry for the guy. I love the relationships Kagome has with everyone else, especially the relationship with Kagome and Sesshoumaru and Kagome and Fujita. I'm not sure if I could call either of them a relationship of love but I'm not sure what else to call it. It's like love, the passion, the heat but not quite because it has darker, crueler, harder to understand feelings too. This story is just so amazing, I try to explain what I love about it but it's just so hard because I'm not exactly sure I can put it in words. I tried but I feel like I wound up all over the place and this review didn't end up making any sense.
