I have to say that I'm really growing attached to the version of Inuyasha you're creating in this story. I was already impressed by how you handled his youkai, but the way that he's dealing with Miroku's problems while still being himself is just blowing me away. Actually, I feel pretty much the same way about _all_ the alternate versions, though Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Shippou are definitely the standouts. (Ronin Miroku stands out too, but for an entirely different reason. Yes. Scary man.)

Anyway, I'm just completely in awe of how you're writing this - it's the best non-AU AU that I've ever read, and I become more of a Miroku fan with every chapter. :)

Ah, loopholes - looks like I might not have to log in all the time after all. ;)

On a more relevant topic, these chapters made me smile. Inuyasha might not have made everything better yet but he's definitely moving in that direction. Miroku and Shippou were so sweet together and I thought Kouga's face-off with Inuyasha over their mates was lovely to watch. You can really see how much more suspicious they've all had to become. Hats, mittens, and boots are all off to you! :D

Wow. With as dark as parts of the story had become, I was glad to see such a sweet chapter. I love that Miroku seems to be trying to come to grips not only with the pain, buth is own feelings for this InuYasha. I also think the way you have portrayed Shippo is great. I can see him trying to be brave for Miroku, despite all he's been through. Personally, I'd like to see both of them be able to laugh again. So nice. Well done.

I really really shouldn't like watching Miroku get flustered as much as I do, but you do it so well that I can't help it. It's nice to see him feeling better, and wonderful to see everyone taking care of him in their own way. Great chapters!

Argh. Now I have an author panel and I feel like I should be _writing_ something, but there was no way I was going to let you think that I'd forgotten about you or this story. :D

Another fantastic chapter - I can't decide if it's less of a cliffhanger than the last one because we now _know_ what Ronin Miroku is up to or if it's actually scarier because we've seen more of his personality and know to be very, very afraid. Yikes. Lucky Miroku has all that creamy soft skin to keep him safe...ish. ;-)

So this was supposed to be a _fluffy_ story? Yikes. I'm a little afraid of what might happen if you ever sat down and decided to write something _dark_. What you did to Hachi here is going to stay with me for a good long time and the insight into the Ronin's past had me on the edge of my seat. He's _scary_ when he's angry. I pictured Miroku being tied up and helpless and... yikes. Still hot in a very disturbing way, though, which makes me somewhat concerned about my own mental health. ^_^

(In other news, I may just set your account to be my homepage to save time. I don't think I've _closed_ this page since I first read your story. ;)

Ok. So. I am glad that you didn't let Ronin keep Miroku. I really want to rant at you that he got what he did out of Miroku, but I trust that you will very soon kill off the Ronin. Maybe by being ripped to shreds by a nice mad pack of wolves?! Yes?! Well, It is just a thought.

So the info on the ronin's past is going to play a part in his demise? I hope so. Poor Hachi. At least now he is away from the ronin.
I hope that we get back to this story being happy. Even thought Inuyash is going to have to deal with what happened to Miroku.

Now, on to a reunion!!! update soon please!

I don't like the darkness but I love the story. Fantastic storytelling. The Ronin has got to get his ending and soon. A nasty ending too.

This is getting more amazing with each chapter! Dark, Darker, Darkest....is there a dawn for Miroku?
