Hey, just read your whole story (up to current chapter, at least) in one hit, and I loved it. You sounded a little disgruntled and disillusioned in your A/N, regarding reviews and the like. I just wanted to say that I know how disheartening "low response" can be. I had a story that got favourable, even glowing responses for the first few chapters, and then I didn't have any. For about eight chapters, I think. And still none. It wasn't on this site, and I agree, this seems to be the only site where anyone gives a damn about updates, lol. However, the point is, don't let the bastards get you down. So far, this is a highly enjoyable, well-written story. Just a few grammar and spelling hiccups, added and missing words etc., but hey, I am overly obsessive about that. They in any way detract from the story flow or plot, though.
Overall, I'm exceedingly impressed and thrilled to find a work like this amongst the all-too-often scarily crap stuff rife in such a popular fandom. (Sess/Kag fics "oh InuYasha's a cheating bastard I'll go off with his brother who suddenly became a sensitive soul with a penchant for silk sheets and rose petals and chocolate body paint" *shudder*) Your characterisation is senstive and believable. I am loving the Mrs Higurashi/ InuYasha interaction. I can't tell you how glad I was when InuYasha didn't automatically go all touchy feely in front of Miroku Sango et al. I must admit to having had a small amount of apprehension about that. However, DON'T STOP THE WAFF!!! Ohhhh, it's the hopeless romantic in me, but, GAH! I loves it, I does. But hell, I loves it all. Easy to please, me. At least by this story.
So yeah, don't let a lack of response put your sense of good-writer-ness in doubt. And if you ever need someone to bitch and moan to, ask questions, or even to just check grammar with a fine tooth comb, don't hesitate to email.

nice chapter!! i see you brought kikyou into play. I'm glad you gave us an insight into how kikyou and inuyasha feel about eachother now, and how their relationship has changed. though kikyou isn't my favorite character in the series, i'm glad you made her seem sorta decent. usually stories run over kikyou with 500 ton bulldozers, back up and then run over her again, hah so it's nice to see that you didn't make her too bitchy, and instead just made her a bit stoic. anyway, til ur next chapter! take care ^_^

Hello there! just found your story, and once i opened the page, i had to keep going. It's beautifully written. The idea that any major or minor incident can change a person's life and the people close to them is a very good plotline, it's also very true. You've portrayed everything and everyone so well, it's as if the reader is actually watching the series. Very realistic, it's quite impressive. Continue with your story, and gradulations on your nomination! Update soon please!

Well that was a pleasant surprise to find that you had updated early. I liked how you showed the re-establishment of friendship within the group. I was a confirmed Kikyo hater until recent anime episodes and now I'm beginning to change my mind about her. I think you portrayed her more as she might have been before her death. Congratulations on your nomination, you certainly deserve it. This story reflects how an incident in someones life can have a profound effect not only on the person it happened to but those around them. You have done a great job of keeping the characters in character while at the same time having them evolve in ways that are completely believable. Really good story.

aww, another great chapter. i really liked how you portrayed Inuyasha as having 2 different personalities in both worlds. He actually acts very much the way he would probably act in the series, embarrassed and a bit uncomfortable in front of others, but caring and compassionate when he's alone. it's turning out to be a great story, and it's quite interesting how u portrayed kagome as being more empathetic then before. it makes sense that she would act that way, considering she is uninfluenced by past experiences and incidents. you've developed this story very well, and i can't wait for your next update! til then, take care! ^_^

I really love this story. I seconded it at the IYFG.
It's well written and I love InuYasha's time of
reflection. I also liked that you showed him
reverting back at the Sengoku. It's believable.
Well done!

Great chapter. And that is so like Inuyasha to react like that when he's embarrassed. Good job. Update again soon. Thanks.

You've done a wonderful job with this story! Its easily the best I've ever read. And I've read alot. And I'm picky. The plot is wonderful, and very touching. I just wish it updated more than once a week. :(
