Since it came to my attention that the end relationship between Inuyasha and Kagome wasn't completely clear, I'll do my best to answer it here.
Yes, Inuyasha and Kagome were siblings. An easy way to think of them is as if they were half brother/sister. In the story, both had the same parents but due to the genetic alterations they performed, Inuyasha wasn't completely related to Kagome anymore because of the added DNA. I can see how it can get a little confusing. For all intents and purposes, Inuyasha has DNA of four people, but it's a lot easier if you think about it as though Inuyasha and Kagome only had one parent in common. I hope it makes things a little clearer.
I wrote it like this because I didn't quite have the guts to write a full incest story. Even if readers didn't find out to the very end, I knew the entire time they weren't full siblings. Honestly, I was expecting the story to flop. I'm glad some people enjoyed it even with the taboo subject. Hopefully I find some time in the future to make a second version. My thanks to everyone who read and left a review. They went a long way to motivate me!
