I was right! I had to let the chappie rest for awhile and come back to it in order to see it for the first time. You made my eyes tear up twice. *sniffle* Poor Shippou. The horror of finding out that your life has been snatched away and having no idea what is to come. A terrible thing for a child. No one could have truly felt what he was feeling. I'm sure that Inuyasha had some clue since he had been bereft of his parents. And, in youkai terms, humans would not be around very long for Shippou. I felt so very bad for his dilemma. It was a nice addition that Sturaki did notice and attempted to help Shippou. I just love her. I've been hooked since her first appearance.

Observations from Shippou's point of view are very refreshing. He notices things that people don't give him credit for. I found it heartwarming that he felt that he should have remembered and warned the others of mating season. He seems to take some responsibility for the care of the group. I could feel his poor little heart sinking as Inuyasha listed his short-comings. Knowing that it was Sesshoumaru's final decision that would decide his living arrangement was very intelligent. There is so much from Shippou's POV that it his difficult to comment on them all. And one thing that this did bring to mind is that Shippou always attempted to help out in battle, even in the worst ones. Yeah, he was obviously scared, but he did his best to pull his own weight. It reminded me of the episode with the band of seven when he successfully kept the fire away from the others while they were poisoned. And then his bawling when that wasn't enough to save them and he thought that they were dead. He did keep the fire at bay. No, Shippou did his best to pull his own weight. He is underestimated. I'm glad that you have made him an integral part of this.

You managed to keep Inuyasha in character, even as he tried to comfort Shippou. I believe that Inuyasha's intelligence is also underestimated. He might not be all lovey-dovey, but he does care a great deal about everyone in his pack and plans ahead, though they don't realize it. You've made a few good points about those things in your fic without getting the characters OOC.

OMG! Sesshoumaru! You did such an awesome job with keeping him in character! He didn't just accept Shippou because of Shippou's relationship with Inuyasha. He made Shippou agree to a pact, made Shippou behave responsibly. Sesshoumaru made it clear that he would be no pushover. He immediately asserted his role as alpha. Great job! LOve it!

Oh, my. What does it mean that Sesshoumaru walked into the room and shut the door. I can't wait to see what that is all about. What will happen with Inuyasha's group? I don't remember whether or not Naraku has been vanquished yet, but if not, what will happen to the hunt? I need to go and do some backtracking. So many questions that I won't list them all!

I can hardly wait to see the next chapter. My apologies on such a late review, but I needed to step back and read it over.

Chapter two of Centennial Hunger was beta'd and I added a bit to it. I'm sure that it was an eyesore if you read it before. Sorry, I won't do it again. Promise. ^_^

:) I was so happy when I saw this was updated. And it was as good as ever.

Whew 33 chapters and Finally Lemon! hmm could of been better I say but hey Finally. Hope hes not a jerk in the nxt ch. Well Ty I feel like writeing now ^^

First of all, i just like to say that you have kept both the brothers in character as much as they would be if they were in this type of situation hehe. I'm enjoying, especially your take on sesshoumaru. Great job really. He is IC and i love him. ^_^ I also love the idea of the human and demon side of inuyasha. I have thought of this myself, although relating it to my own mind lol. I always feel i have 3 people in me lol. Anyways, i like how sesshoumaru obviously would not fully understand his brother until he really went into his mind. It is interesting that inuyasha wouldn't remember anything. Its also interesting how you let us look in to his thoughts a bit deeper. He has really been put down a lot, especially by his older brother. I agree with the human side of inuyasha a lot lol. His demon side is a bit scary and also annoying because he is so submissive lol. (which is a great contrast^^) I also like that you didn't right way write that inuyasha is preg. I feel that has been done a lot and its good that u made a great reason for why inuy. should and is able to have pups. This is a great fanfic because you really see the two characters grow and they finally are able to understand each other better as the story progresses. Its also fun to see that they both have totally logical points to their way of thinking, but also, Inuyasha's human side kinda of speaks the mind almost of the *reader* (at least i see it that way). I can see why its mad because submission is not totally something a human has ever in mind when it comes to having a healthy relationship with another. This really shows the difference between humans and demons and the conflict of having both of them present in the mind of Inuyasha. ^^

Oh i know u hear this quite a lot but i hope u up date realy soon..u left me hangin there lol. I also wonder if, even though it was done a billion times, (i still luv it) if u will show inuyasha in his human form at one point? hehe I always luv how Sesshoumaru reacts to it. :P Anyways, this is one of my favorite stories. keep up the great work, but i know u have a life outside of it hehe.

Hope your holiday wasn't too stressful...and your girls had a joyous time [I know about those viruses, had too many of them myself as a teen].

Anyway, if I was the type to get emotional, I would have had a tear in my eye, after Inuyasha's heart-felt talk w/Shippou, when Sesshomaru said he wouldn't separate his mate from 'his son'.

It was a tug-at-your-heart moment.

I hope Inuyasha put those words to good use & train Shippou in the ways of demons.

well that's all I'll say for now...

I've been following this story, though I have not felt like I've had the courage to write a review... anyway, now I'm doing it, and I have to say that it's amazingly well written and describes the characters from an interesting point of view...
Any furthermore, please update or is this story complete?
If you do add a chapter, would you please do me the favor of... perhaps emailing me so I can read the next part?

RATING: 9/10
