It wasn't so bad for your first lemon ever. When you get less nervous with it add more details and such. Read other lemons for idea and what not.

Not my favorite chapter of them all. It was more serious then the rest. But it's needed once in a while.

Update soon, love!

Again this was very well written. I look forward to the new chapters. I loved the lemon. Not many people are very good at writing them. Some make them quick; while other make them so long I want to scream. Yours was hot, not very long, but not to quick either. VERY GOOD! *smiles* I hope you update soon. And sorry I am one of those people who love writing Kagome as a miko demon. SORRY (don’t kill me) I know, but I just have to have Kagome strong like an urge. I don’t want her to be dependant one someone else. Well sort of anyways; but I suppose people have different perspectives. Anyways, love the story keep those chapters coming.

I really like this fic! It just keeps getting better and better! I do hope you decide to change 1 aspect of this fic and let Kagome get pregnant and become his mate! I think they would be happy together!! Oh, and if in this last chapter that she became his mate, I must have missed you writing that. Ok, great story...update soon...please!!

First off, I'd like to say that if you were to write the miko/demon fanfic, I would so nominate it for an award out of principle. 'Cause yeah, the originality within the IY fandom seems to be disappearing at alarming rates. It's almost like people read fanfics and then like the plot idea and so they make a fanfic of the fanfic...which just leaves us reguritated blah. Even existing plot ideas can be used cleverly if approached from a different angle, but I don't think many writers care and want to write the story as they want things to go...even if done before. But that was a random tangent.

Now on to more important matters: Masquerade. I just happened upon this fic when you posted chapter 24 and I have to say it's just brilliant. You have a very unique writing style, something that I've only associated with SandraE before, and she is one of my favorite fanfic writers. The style is almost in your face with it's dry humour, and I do enjoy me some dry humour, but it's also got this way of capturing the characters that goes on the wayside a lot of times. Your chapters are very well organized and clearly written. Not to mention this perfect length that gives you plenty to mull over and yet still wanting more. It keeps the reader enticed for your story, and keeps them anxious for more. And you do a very good job of updating frequently.

You've set up all of your characters well. I especially like Masao. I was actually kind of rooting for him for a while b.c I just love his personlity type. Though I do think he and Leiko are well suited for each other. Their child I find obnoxiously amusing. It's a pretty special skill to be able to get your readers attached to OCs, especially when so many people (including myself) are so against them. But, thus far, everyone has been so well filled out and depicted, that you can't help but enjoy their presence within the story. I think it an interesting touch that Masao, as the story progresses, becomes stronger and more gutsy. He was looking for Kagome to help him b.c he didn't think he would be able to convince the higher lords, but in the most recent chapters he's fully standing up and teasing Sesshomaru as if he was not a threat at all. It's a nice touch, and shows a great deal of character growth.

And speaking of character growth, I love Kagome's gradual acceptance of wanting Sesshomaru. You didn't make it an abrupt thing which so many amateurs try and do (b.c they don't want to wait for romance/smuth, mostly). Instead you have this great building of emotions and sexual energy and it just drives the story. You can pratically see it when you read it, which again is more kudos to your excellent writing skills. You've really done such a splendid job with the building of their relationship, however twisted it might be. My one complaint is that Inuyasha, in the beginning, seemed to be shoved off too soon--a bit too plot device-ish, but I can see now that you have more plans for Inu's character, and so I look forward to what you have planned.

I had about a million things I wanted to comment on as I read through your story but they all seem to have fled my brain as I began typing this out. So I'll just have to try and remember later. Again, brilliant job with this fic. It's one of the better fics I've read lately, and it's really a breath of fresh air. I was afraid all of the IY fandom was falling into shite. I'm very happy that I'm wrong on this account. Thanks for writing and sharing this fic with us, it's greatly appreciated and loved.
