Chapter 2 - Memories from Another Time

 

Kagome looked around everything was black. There was nothing in sight; it was like a backdrop of black material had covered the whole area that she was in.

 

“Kagome…” a feminine melodious voice said softly, calling her.

 

“Who are you? Where am I?” Kagome breathed out, getting up from her sitting position on the ground.

 

“I am someone sent to guide you. You are inside your mind, your body has just fainted from the migraines that you just experienced.” The voice said not raising once, staying at the same tone.

 

“Why are you here?” Kagome questioned still not sure what was happening.

 

“As I said before I am here to help, guide you. That and the fact that your past memories seemed to have been triggered by looking at the book The Universe of the Four Gods. That is why I am here, to help you take in these memories.” The voice spoke.

 

“Memories…” Kagome said quietly under her breath.

 

“Here are some, now. Be brave it will hurt.” The voice said trying to reassure her.

 

“NOO!” Kagome screamed as her mind filled with pain, and another wave pain hit her mind. Her body squirmed as her mind hurt.

 

“Kagome!” Hotohori said shaking her harshly, “Wake up!”

 

 

Images flitted through Kagome's mind.

 

“Goddess?” said a girl seemingly around 16 - 17.

 

“Yes, Takiko, Priestess of Genbu?” Kagome said, she saw everything out of eyes that seemed to be her own. But just weren't her own.

 

“I don't know how I got here. Even though I have found a few of the seven celestial warriors of Genbu, I pray that my journey will not be treacherous.” Takiko said her brown eyes void of any emotion.

 

“I'm sorry Takiko, but there will be many hardships you will have to face in your journey and in your real life. In the end… you will be…” Kagome said choking back tears. “Dead.” Placing her hands on her face she let the tears flow. “It will be someone you trust in your real life, they will kill you. I'm sorry, Takiko, your father will be your murderer.” Sobbing she came to hug the Priestess.

 

Returning the hug, Takiko became silent. She would have never thought, but when the time came for her to die. She would die bravely. She flattened her dark brown hair at the top of her head. She would die, and she would be brave.

 

Another image came to the front of Kagome's mind.

 

“Goddess once, we finish this journey and summon Byyako will Tatara and I be able to live and love together? Not as a celestial warrior and the Priestess of Byakko but as man and wife?” Suzuno said, her long light brown hair in braids at the sides of her hair. She fidgeted with the skirt of her blue school uniform.

 

“No. It is a divine law that you two may never be together. Suzuno, I know you love him as he loves you. But I can not change anything the laws won't let me. I may have more power than my brothers may but I can't change the laws.” Kagome breathed in sadly wishing she could do something.

 

The scene in Kagome's mind changed, yet again.

 

“Byyako, I would like to make a wish. I want to be able to live with Tatara here.” Suzuno said to Byyako.

 

“I am sorry, Priestess of Byyako, but it can not be granted.” Byakko said in his deep-throated voice. “The other wishes, Priestess.”

 

Suzuno then wished for the other wishes, but in the end she was going to be sent back to her wishes. She whispered good bye to the six celestial warriors of Byakko. Kagome gave her a hug, which she returned. When Suzuno reached Tatara, she held him.

 

“I'm going to miss you.” She said speaking into his chest.

 

“As will I, love.” Tatara said, speaking into her hair. He breathed in the smell of her, her essence, taking in as much as he could. He knew he would never be able to be with her. “Promise you will go on in life, in your world. Promise me that you will never forget me, I will never forget you.”

 

“I promise.” Suzuno said with tears in her eyes.

 

“We will always be together, if not in person, but in love. I will die on the same day as you.” He spoke, as she started to fade away.

 

“I love you!” She screamed. Tatara hugged her to him; his brown eyes shinning with unshed tears. Kissing her hard on the lips, he let his tears run.

 

She was gone.

 

“I love you too,” Tatara said falling onto his knees and crying. His long dark brown hair surrounded his face like a curtain; no one dared to say anything.

 

Suddenly everything was all black in Kagome's mind.

 

“Kagome, your memories have returned. I shall see you soon.” The melodious voice spoke leaving her mind.

 

“Kagome!?” Said Hotohori his voice hoarse from spending 2 hours trying to wake her up.

 

Kagome was pulled back into reality as harsh shaking shook throughout her body. Opening her eyes slowly she found herself in muscular arms. Looking up she saw smiling chocolate eyes, and a gorgeous face.

 

“Hotohori?” She said softly.

“Welcome, back.” He said letting out his smile the worry that had held him tight seemed to vanish as she smiled back at him.

 

“What's everyone so worried about? Hmm…” Kagome said, sitting up in his lap. Making herself comfortable, she found Miaka and Tamahome staring. “Er…What did I do wrong?” She said nervously.

 

Oh my god… she's sitting on Hotohori's lap. Thought Miaka, somewhat shocked.

 

Why can't I be in Hotohori's place? Tamahome thought sullenly.

 

“We need to find the third celestial warrior of Suzaku, there's a clue in the book you dropped.” Hotohori said kindly, reaching around Kagome to pick up the scroll of the ground. “It says that the third constellation is referred to by the characters Gong and Wu. The first one means palace and the second one means fierce strength.” He said reading off the scroll.

 

“So, um, when we find the most valiant man in the palace, we'll have found the third of our seven constellations?” said Kagome, still on Hotohori's lap.

 

“Yes,” Hotohori said, “But we must go outside of this room to find them. That means I would have to get up, so, would you get up, so I may have my legs back?” He finished while shifting his legs.

 

“Oh, um, I'm sorry.” Kagome said sheepishly getting up. She put out her hand, offering to pull him up, he placed his hand in hers. Pulling him up, she smiled. Smiling back, Hotohori brushed dust off his outfit.

 

“Miaka, Tamahome.” Hotohori spoke walking towards the hall. “Follow Kagome and I, we are headed to the court yard.” He glanced at the two before walking away.

 

The four of them went outside to sit on the inside of what seemed to somewhat like a gazebo, a chair was sent out for Hotohori. Miaka stood at his right, while Tamahome sat down on a step leading to the gazebo. Kagome stood at his left.

 

“Your majesty, your eminence, goddess, as instructed, we have selected the finest warriors in the palace.” Said a bowing man to Hotohori.

 

“Ahem, well done.” Hotohori said leaning forward.

 

“Do any of you have characters that appear on your body?” Asked Miaka, to the group of men gathered.

 

“It doesn't appear because a guy wants it to, he might not even know he's got it.” Tamahome said with a smile on his lips, “Let me give them a little test.” His smile grew; getting up he cracked his knuckles merrily. “Personally I'd rather have preferred to have the other five to be hot babes, now then.” He said getting into a fighting stance.

 

“Hmph,” Miaka said. Well excuse my lack of babe-ittude. She thought mildly in her head. “Well I'd rather prefer have five buff guys, so there!” She shouted back at him.

 

Hotohori and Kagome just shook their heads at the pair. They always either seemed to be arguing with each other or just plain chatting.

 

They all watched as Tamahome started to beat up all the poor guys.

 

“Wow, he's got style.” Miaka said in awe.

 

“Huh?” Tamahome spoke in confusion at Miaka's words.

 

“Tamahome, our purpose was to not to allow you to show off.” Hotohori said leaning his head on his fist.

“Looks like it's my turn.” Miaka said happily.

 

Tamahome and Kagome eye's widened at her words.

 

“Oh, um, Miaka would you allow me to go before you?” Kagome said trying to distract Miaka from her idea.

 

“Sure.” Miaka smiled. “But leave some from me.”

 

With that Kagome jumped to the ground gracefully.

 

“Just watch.” She said walking forward.

 

“Kang-Lin, we have to go back! We'll be scolded for being here!” a beautiful woman dressed in nice clothing said to another woman.

 

“So that's the Priestess of Suzaku and the Goddess of the Kingdoms everyone's has been talking about.” The woman said still not going back inside, “Why are they so friendly with the majesty?! Neither of them are an Empress.” She spat in fury. “Who's that man next to them?” She said her eyes focused on Tamahome. She drank in his long dark blue tinted hair, his muscular body, and his warm eyes.

 

“He is one of the protectors of the Priestess. A celestial warrior of Suzaku, Tamahome.” Said one of the women behind her.

 

“We couldn't hurt you, Goddess.” Said one of the men in front of Kagome.

 

“Just pretend I'm a bandit, okay.” Kagome flashed them a smile. “Now come at me.” Putting her body in a fighting stance, she relaxed.

 

“As you wish.” The group of men said before charging at her.

 

Smiling she let her leg slide back a little. The warriors surrounded her. One of them sent a low kick to her, evading it she let her fist fly in their face. Another warrior came to fill the place of the one down; she crouched down low and stuck out her leg moving it in a circle. Each man fell on his back, Kagome dusted herself off before getting up.

 

“That was fun. We should do this more often.” Kagome said smiling and leaving the men on the ground.

 

Tamahome, Miaka, and Hotohori all stared at Kagome as she walked back towards them.

 

“What happened?” Kagome said curiously as they all continued to stare at her. Raising an eyebrow she went back to the place she had been at before `testing' the warriors.

 

“How can you do that?” Tamahome said, “So would you get hurt if I gently pushed you into the wall?”

 

“Why don't you go ahead and try…” Kagome said as sarcasm dripped off her words.

 

Tamahome proceeded to push her into the wall, not gently but hard on accident, causing her body to impact on the flimsy building making it tremble.

 

“All of you get out, the building's falling apart!” shouted Hotohori moving himself and Miaka out of the falling building. Tamahome looked above at the ceiling as the pieces fell from the top of the building. Huge pieces of the building collapsed on top of Kagome and Tamahome.

 

Tamahome jumped in front of Kagome as a piece of the building was falling rapidly from the sky,

“Tamahome…” Kagome spoke softly as he used his body to block it from crushing her. “Why did you protect me?” Her hand went to cup his cheek.

 

“Hurry, someone remove this rubble now!” Hotohori said taking a piece of the fallen building and lifting it up.

 

“Your majesty you mustn't!” shouted one of his counselors.

 

“Leave me alone.” Was Hotohori's reply.

 

“All the warriors are unconscious, we don't have enough people to move it--” Someone spoke.

 

“I have to protect you, and Miaka.” Tamahome smiled painfully. And because, I'm beginning to fall for you, and Miaka. He added as an afterthought. Grunting he struggled to hold the weight on his back.

 

“Thank you for protecting me.” Kagome said closing the little space between them with a kiss. “I will give you something to heal your wounds if we make it out alive.” Also kissing his forehead for good measure.

 

He smiled, but as the pain increased a bit his smile began to deteriorate.

 

“Tamahome, Kagome!” shouted Hotohori, unable to do anything to save his two comrades. “Something must be done!”

 

“Allow me to handle this.” Said a beautiful lady walking towards the area.

 

“Damn it,” Tamahome swore. “I can't hold it up much longer.” His body lowered onto Kagome's further more as the pressure on his back increased. Thinking he would die Tamahome brought his onto Kagome's. Ravaging her sweet tasting mouth, “That was for before.” He smiled weakly.

 

The unknown woman walked toward the destroyed area, lifting a piece of stone she began to remove all pieces swiftly as people around began to duck for cover, in fear of getting hit the people around her ran.

 

“So you're still alive..” A beautiful woman said peering at them, “You lucky devil you.”

 

Kagome raised an eyebrow at her words; of course she was lucky.

 

“Are you two alright?” Hotohori kneeled in front of them as Miaka looked at Tamahome's injuries.

 

“Doc' I'm dyin'….” Tamahome collapsed into someone's arms on purpose.

 

“You protected the Goddess well,Tamahome.” Hotohori said watching the whole fiasco.

 

“Take it easy will ya, it hurts there.” Tamahome complained as Kagome put a medicinal herb on a wound on his head. All he got was a nice heated glare, to warm him.

 

“Are you an empirial consort from the inner seraglio?” Hotohori questioned the woman. “The power you displayed a moment ago could that possibly be—”

 

“I am Kang-Lin. Or “Nuriko” as in the constellation.” Nuriko grinned showing the sign, which was right below her collarbone.

 

“Thank you for saving the Goddess and Tamahome. My name is Miaka Yuuki.” Miaka said offering her hand so they could shake.

 

“Hmph,” Nuriko let out, “The only one I wanted to rescue was him.” She said turning around and running at a fast speed towards Tamahome. She caught his lips in a kiss; he was too surprised to do anything.

 

“TAMAHOME!” Miaka shreeked her auburn hair gleamed in the sunlight. Her brown eyes wide. Kagome glanced at the kissing pair before, ordering for some hot water. The water arrived seconds later.

 

“Thank you,” Kagome kindly said to those who had brought her the hot water, she took some of the water and drank it. She let the hot water burn away any taste of Tamahome's kiss before she swallowed it. Marching up to the kissing pair she poured water `accidently' on them.

 

“Argh!” Tamahome shouted.

 

“Oh, I'm sorry,” Kagome replied sweetly, “My feet tripped on something, and the water just spilled.” Her eyes shinned with laughter at her supposed clumsiness.

 

“Well, I suggest we go inside.” Hotohori said getting up and hiding a smile behind his hand. It was clear to him she had not done it on accident.

 

Everyone followed him inside. No one wanted to be outside, not with the unconscious soldiers.

 

“Miaka, why don't you come with me so we can get changed before we head out for sight seeing?” Kagome asked trying to lighten the silent mood.

 

“Sure,” Miaka smiled at her offering of friendship. The pair of new friends headed off to a hallway, leaving the others to do as they pleased.

 

Once in a room Kagome shut the door, “We're going to be here for at least 10-20 minutes. Help yourself to the food on the table.” Kagome said leaving Miaka to find some clothes to wear. Miaka stared at the food, it was very tempting to eat it all. All of it, taking three big dishes she devoured them all.

 

Kagome walked outside of where she had been to watch Miaka eat every single thing on the dish. “Miaka you know that I was going to take us somewhere to eat, right?” She said nervously as Miaka turned her head towards Kagome inclining that she was listening. “Are you still hungry?”

 

Her answer was a nod; “Well then I suggest we get changed into these articles of clothing.” Kagome said a smile falling onto her face. “Here is the choices, this pink/red outfit which is very elaborate but comfy. Or this green/blue one that is stunning in color and scenery-ish.” Kagome said holding the two options up in either hand.

 

Miaka raised her hand to point at the pink/red outfit. “Good choice,” Approved Kagome as she undressed herself to put on her outfit the blue/green dress with elaborate stitching and gauzy sleeves.

 

Miaka, too, changed into her outfit.

 

“Now we go.” Miaka smiled and pulled Kagome out with her.

 

“And I thought you were indisposed…” Kagome said rolling her eyes letting herself be pulled.

 

“So where are we going to eat?” Miaka said still leading the way.

 

“Why don't you let go of me and let me lead us?” Kagome said with dry humor before showing her to a noodle shop. “It has really good noodle soup, and I have some money from Hotohori.” Smiling she pulled a silk pouch of coins jangling in her hand by the drawstring of the little bag. “Lets get a table, then someone will bring us two nice sized bowls of noodle soup.” She said leading them both to a table.

 

Three minutes late the duo were eating their bowls of soups and chatting away like they had known each other since they were born.

 

“HIDE ME!” screamed Tamahome as he ran into Kagome's quarters, interrupting her and Miaka's chatting.

 

“Why?” Kagome said raising an eyebrow at his disruptance.

 

“Because—” He said not finishinf his sentence as Nuriko emerged inside. She was holding something like a sash, pulling it Tamahome fell down, because she had caught it around his legs.

 

“If it isn't Miaka and Kagome. I'm so sorry to intrude.” Nuriko said, “This man is so shy. Come, Tama-Baby, we're leaving.” She dragged him out by his feet.

 

“I know I don't see that much…” Kagome told Miaka when they left. “Your going to what!?” Her voice went higher when Miaka told her again, “Fine… but I'm going to help you sometimes. Now, shoo!” Kagome said playfully shoving Miaka out the door.

 

“Now, to watch over her.” Kagome said following taking something from the room to cover herself with.

 

“You want to be my attendant?” Nuriko said surprised as she sat on Tamahome's hostage body.

 

“Yes, M'am.” Miaka spat out practically erupting with rage as she sat on Tamahome.

 

“Hey get off me!!” Tamahome yelled exasperated.

 

“You can if you want, but you have to promise not to interfere in our relationship” Nuriko snuggled into the captive Tamahome.

 

“Never even entered my mind.” Miaka turned her back on the two.

 

“Miaka… Come help me with my hair.” Nuriko ordered holding her knee length purplish blue hair in one hand while sitting on a plush cushion stool. Miaka went to where Nuriko sat and gathered up her hair that was until she felt cold water on her face. “You're hurting me! Don't pull so hard!” Nuriko complained once she had thrown the water on poor Miaka's face.

 

And so the list of chores continued.

 

“It's dusty out here,” Nuriko said bossy, “Clean it up. If you miss any spots, you'll get no dinner.”

 

So Miaka began to rub and rub the floor while, the evil, Nuriko came outside carrying a tray, filled with ashes. She began to litter the ashes on the newly cleaned hallway.

 

“WHAT!?” Miaka shrieked as she looked at all the ashes on the ground, they hadn't been there a moment ago.

 

“That's the dirtiest floor I've ever seen! No dinner for you!” Nuriko laughed.

 

“What, that's not fair--!” Miaka said looking at the floor and trying to explain how the ashes got there. Her words were cut off as Nuriko `accidentally' threw a table at her face.

 

“I'm so sorry I lost my grip.” Nuriko said in her mock apologetic voice.

 

“That's not nice of you Nuriko.” Kagome showed herself to the duo, she couldn't watch anymore of the treatment Miaka was getting.

 

“Me?” Nuriko replied with watery eyes and a big pout.

 

“I'll talk to you over here. Miaka, hun, you can leave your duties for a while.” Kagome said flashing a smile towards the auburn haired girl. Pulling Nuriko to a side of the room, by her hair, she then proceeded to yell at her. “Stop being so mean to her! Got it?” Kagome lathered her voice over sweetly, turning it from outraged to nice. Gulping Nuriko nodded, it seemed no one would make it out alive if scathed from Kagome's rage. “If I hear about anything, I'll be sure to ask you.” Kagome walked away, but not before waving a hand to say “Good bye,” to Nuriko.

 

“Break is over, Miaka.” Nuriko said trying to sound nicer, well for now at least, she would try.

 

“What is it? All of a sudden.” Miaka questioned standing a few feet away from Nuriko.

 

“Some time ago, I lost a very precious earring while I was talking near the pond.” Nuriko faked sadness to go along with her story, “It's made out of a clear crystal so it's hard to find. The jewel is called “Glow Stone” and it shines in the dark. But the pond is so deep me and my attendants are too scared to find it at night and as you know I am not allowed too leave the inner buildings. I so miss that earring.”

 

“Oh, so you want me to find it?” Miaka pointed a finger at herself.

 

“Oh would you? In return I promise to serve as one of the seven celestial warriors of Suzaku.” Nuriko said.

 

“Sure, I'll be back in a second.” Miaka left the room just to be faced with Kagome down the hall.

 

“Fool.” Nuriko stuck out her tongue at Miaka's retreating back.

 

“Miaka, I'll get it for you? So you won't have to find it.” Kagome smiled promising she would find it.

 

“Sure, if you want.” Miaka replied.

 

“I'll see you in a bit. I'll have the earring too.” Kagome walked out of the hall.

 

“What was that?” Hotohori asked waiting for his counselors to repeat their words.

 

“Your majesty is eighteen. It is time to consider marriage.” One counselor said waiting for another to take off from where he had stopped.

 

“Our public officials have gone to great trouble to gather beautiful women from all over the empire. Why do you ignore the women of the inner seraglio?” asked one of his counselors.

 

“Hmph, we are far more beautiful than they.” Hotohori turned his back to them. “That was a joke.” A brief smile hinted on his lips. He closed his eyes; his beautiful face was relaxed.

 

“Even though it's true.” Commented a counselor.

 

“Shouldn't we be concentrating on the state of the empire?” Calmly he stood, his hair was up in a holding thing at the top of his head, few strands of his long hair covered the front of his face.

 

“But… That's right! How about that Nuriko girl?” One of Hotohori's many counselors said trying to persuade his majesty.

 

“Nonesense she is one of the seven celestial warriors, and has been released from the seraglio to serve Miaka.” Hotohori countered back smoothly. His face took on a dreamy look. “Besides… Since childhood we have had an image. We know the face of our ideal women. And she is--,” He was interrupted.

 

“BOO!” Kagome said letting out a loud noise as she tried to imitate Miaka's loud manner of speaking. “I knew I wouldn't be able to scare you, Hotohori.” She smiled widely as his counselors tried to regain balance on their feet.

 

“What are you doing, Kagome?” Hotohori smiled at her words.

 

“Just doing a favor for Miaka, who's doing it for Nuriko to make friends with her. She was planning something when she asked Miaka for a favor, so anyways—” Kagome was cut off.

 

“Aren't they getting along? I can order her—,” Hotohori started to only be cut off.

 

“She wants to do it her way, and I'll help her besides. You can never order anyone to be your friend.” Flashing a smile she waved and left the room, Kagome had something to do before she talked to Nuriko again. Popping back into the room, she nervously walked up to Hotohori. “I forgot to ask, where's the pond?” She asked, laughing a little at her forgetfulness.

 

“It's just down the hall, after you reach the and of the hall, turn right and keep walking straight ahead. Then you should have reached the pond.” Hotohori pointed down the hall, a small smile not leaving his face.

 

“Yes, sir.” Kagome said and marched down the hall and towards her destination. When reaching said destination she peered at the murky waters, you couldn't see a thing in that water. “It means I'm going in then.” Mumbling she jumped into the cold deep waters of the pond. She gasped opon entry into the pond water; she clamped her mouth shut as she realized she was loosing air leaving it open. Brushing back her floating raven colored hair away from her face, she swam deeper into the cold waters. Slowly her face was turning red from lack of oxygen in her lungs. Hurrying she pushed her body to the surface, her legs pushed and kicked as she swam, she gasped as she broke the surface of the pond.

 

Musing, Kagome looked down at her hands. Grasped inside her right hand was a clear pebble, like a crystal. If you can't find one, Kagome, then why don't you make one earring? She thought to herself as she closed her eyes, and transformed the clear pebble into a piece of exquisite jewelry. In her mind she carved and made the earring letting her creativity catch a hold of her.

 

Breathing she let go of her creation, it was beautiful, the crystalline earring was just like how she imagined it. Now to go to Nuriko.

 

“Miaka's trying her hardest to be friends with you! Can't you see that?” Tamahome yelled at Nuriko as she continued to grab a hold of him.

 

“I don't like her! Or Kagome! They have the emperor and you wrapped around their little fingers. I've been in the inner seraglio for a whole year! He's never even glanced at me.” Nuriko clutched onto him even harder, “Then they both come out of nowhere and get the royal treatment! His majesty just dotes on the two! What's so good about those two pests from another world? So I decided to get revenge on Miaka by stealing you!” Nuriko blurted out. “I don't know about Kagome though.”

 

“You're in love with his majesty, Hotohori?” Miaka said amazed and dry as she stepped away from the rice paper screen she had been hiding behind the whole time.

 

“Miaka your alright!?” Tamahome said concerned and happy at the same time.

 

“It can't be…” Nuriko looked at her. “Why aren't you dead at the bottom of the pond!?”

 

“Oh, that, Kagome said she would handle it for me and I haven't seen her since—,” Miaka was cut off as Kagome entered the room, wet and cold.

 

“Yes I went on the little errand you sent Miaka on, Nuriko.” Kagome said before falling to the ground tired and wet, not to mention cold. “Here's your earring.” She fished an object out of her pocket and threw it at Nuriko's feet.

 

Bending down Nuriko gasped, “What! I never had an earring like this! I was lying about the whole thing you idiot.”

 

“I know, it just didn't add up when you said you weren't allowed outside the building. Yet, you said, you had lost the earring outside in the pond.” Getting up Kagome stood, letting her body get warm as she pulled her clothing closer to her body.

 

“Don't mock me!” Nuriko slapped Kagome as she blushed about her lie. Raising an eyebrow Kagome rubbed her red cheek.

 

“Tag your it.” Kagome smiled slapping Nuriko back on her cheek. “Now what were you saying about liking Hotohori?” She said trying to be nice to her. “I can recommend you to him, once I've dried off.” She finished while sneezing.

 

A/N- Phew, I finally finished it and in a week too.

 

This is going to be a Kagome/Hotohori fanfic in the end, there will be a bit Tamahome/Kagome and Miaka/Hotohori, but Miaka will be paired with Tamahome. So here are the pairings. Tamahome/Miaka and Kagome/Hotohori

Now onto the reviews!

 

Your reviews, those who sent or wrote one, helped me to get over my multiple high fevers this week, also my strep-throat. I continued to write this chapter when I was sick, it was for you readers and reviewers

 

Mediaminer - Zilch, zip, zero. I'm disappointed, I usually get a review for my crossover pairings here, but I didn't get a review. Not even a update soon, just to cheer me up. I know you read this fanfic, this is directed to those people out there, so review and let me know how much you like/hate it.

 

Fanfiction -

 

AnimeMoonlightGoddess - Thank you for leaving a review, I heard from one of my many fanfiction writing friends that you `laughed' at her choice of a word. That's not really nice, but thank you all the same for being my first reviewer on FF.

 

Raifu No Tenshi - Yes! You had many questions, I'm going to answer them, and for the answers. Yes the gang will eventually meet the Priestess of Seiryuu and some of the celestial warriors of Seiryuu. About Kagome… You won't ever know when she'll strike an innocent warrior! But, she will defiantly hit someone in the future; I promise it will happen. What was that about it being pure genius? It's not genius; it's just a fanfiction I will be working on until I finish it. I'll write even on holidays! Hope you liked the chapter.

 

LitoKyomi - Yet another one of my questioning reviewers! I've answered all of those questions, if you've got more just, go ahead and ask! Thanks for the review and hope the chapter was good.

 

regretfully-yours-Cassy-chan - I'm stopping my story “Zodiac Love” because, I made all the characters weird. I also didn't have a plot. I admit to my flamers that I never really thought it out. No plot, means no good chapters, and in there lies my reason. But the only good thing is I will be making another Fruits Basket/Inu-Yasha crossover hopefully soon, but I know it's in my mind, this time there will be a plot. It will center around the everyday like-ness of High School and the guys from Furuba (Fruits Basket).

 

 

AdultFanFiction - At least I got reviews here! Now to those reviews!

 

Trinh - I updated soon, happy? -grins- Yet, you were my first reviewer on AFF, conrgratulations for being my first reviewer! I'm glad you liked it.

I'm going to wish, all of those who celebrate 4th of July and live in the United States, a happy 4th of July. There's already fireworks going off around my housing location and its only July 3rd. Hope you guys have a great holiday, I love the fireworks.
