Interesting, but you need a beta reader. To start you really need to break up your dialogue and descriptive paragraphs a bit more.

Example One


"Hello, higura.... oh my. Father, we have a visitor!" The woman stood aside, slightly paled at the sight of the rainsoaked person standing before her. "Come inside, please. Here, let me take that and hang it to dry." Mrs. Higurashi was allowed to slip the cloak from the stranger's shoulders only to be shocked when she was met with the answer to her next question.

This paragraph [especially the larger ones] would be easier to read if it was broken up like this.

"Hello, higura.... oh my. Father, we have a visitor!" The woman stood aside, slightly paled at the sight of the rainsoaked person standing before her.

"Come inside, please. Here, let me take that and hang it to dry." Mrs. Higurashi was allowed to slip the cloak from the stranger's shoulders only to be shocked when she was met with the answer to her next question.


End of Example One


Also, simple words are misspelled. Like:

rainsoaked

It should be:

rain-soaked or rain soaked


Simple corrections like those would really make your story much more enjoyable to read. You might want to look into joining up with Adultfanfiction.net's beta reader yahoo group. It really makes it easy to find a beta reader that would work best with you.
