InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Future Incarnations: Inuyasha 2030 ❯ Family Reunion ( Chapter 16 )

Family Reunion

 

Oops another lemon is on the way…Adults only please…

 

Inuyasha was impatiently tapping his geta clad foot in the hallway waiting for Kagome with his arms folded into his kimono sleeves. He was decked out in a formal black silk kimono with red and silver geometric patterns. His silver hair had been woven into a long braid and a silk bandana covered his ears.

 

Souta stood next to him. The older man had short grey-black hair and was wearing a black kimono that had patterns of golden dragons and white cranes emblazoned on the silk. Souta tried to hide a laugh once he heard a low-level growl emanating from Inuyasha's chest.

 

“Patience Inuyasha. It takes far longer for a woman to put on a kimono than a man. They have more kimono layers, a more complicated obi to tie, makeup to put on...,” said Souta as he looked at the hanyou's frown.

 

“Keh. It still shouldn't take so damn long!” said Inuyasha in annoyance.

 

Souta raised an eyebrow to Inuyasha. “Is there anything else bothering you besides how long it is taking Kagome to get ready?”

 

Inuyasha blanched immediately and his mind whirled around all of the things that were making him edgy. He thought about Naraku and how he had attempted to kidnap Kagome. He thought about the demons that they had fought in the darkness. He thought about having to meet up with Koga again and how he really wanted to hit that wolf demon a few times--just to take the edge off of his anger. He thought about the first time that he was going to see his daughter, her husband (son of `wolf-shit') and their children…

 

He momentarily paused and stopped tapping his foot. He was going to see his daughter, his grandchildren, his great-grandchildren… He took a deep cleansing breath. He realized that he had a lot of things to be angry about, but right now it was sheer nervousness over seeing family that he had had no contact with for over 200 years. What would they think of him now? In reality he was but a teenage boy at present, albeit with over 300 years of memories residing in his skull. He didn't look like a father, let alone grandfather. But he was aching to see them all. Having grown up as an orphan with no one to take care of him made him appreciate family all the more. That was probably why he and Kagome had so many kids. He really wanted to have a family around him. In fact, he desired his own little clan and he got one. His clan was still around to this day! Too bad that they were now tied to `wolf-shit's' clan—but he would take the good with the bad.

 

While Inuyasha was lost in thought he noticed that Souta was still looking at him expecting an answer. The problem was that he really couldn't give Souta the full truth. Kagome had already asked him to not let her family know the real dangers that she was facing. “Keh…I'm a little worried about what my family will think of me. It has been over 200 hundred years…,” he stammered.

 

Souta nodded in understanding. “I see…”

 

Suddenly a door in the hallway opened and both Kagome and her grandmother walked out. Mrs. Higurashi was wearing a pale yellow kimono with a black and red obi. But it was Kagome that captured his attention as he almost gaped. Her lovely, shapely form was adorned with a formal silk-layered kimono and she looked like the epitome of elegance. Her hair was pinned up with an ivory comb at the top of her hair and the nape of her kissable neck was exposed. Her elaborate kimono was maroon with black and silver patterns that became darker as they neared her geta clad feet. Tied around her waist was a black and silver obi that was tied in an elaborate bow behind her back. Kagome's lips were painted with red lipstick and there was the slightest hint of brown eye shadow under her dark lashes.

 

Inuyasha just stood there for a moment as he composed his thoughts. “You look lovely Kagome,” was all that he could manage to say.

 

Kagome beamed at him and a slight blush rose from her cheeks. He wondered for a brief second why she would be blushing. Hadn't they finally mated last night? With that thought he just beamed a smile back at her and offered his arm to her. She gladly accepted and placed her arm in his, her feet clacking as her black geta sandals hit the wooden floor. “Thank you Inuyasha, you look very handsome yourself,” she said in admiration while still blushing.

 

“Are we ready to go then?” asked Mrs. Higurashi with her trademark smile. Soon they were all ushered out the door in their silk finery and walked to the taxi that had been waiting outside for them.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

A yellow taxi cab drove up onto the gravely pathway outside of the Meiji Shrine gates on the outskirts of Tokyo. Kagome was the first to step out. “Is this really where we are to meet everyone?” she asked with trepidation.

 

“Yes, that's what Koga said,” answered Inuyasha as he helped Kagome out of the cab. He was still looking at her. He would have normally been extremely nervous, but with Kagome by his side the nervousness faded. He couldn't help but to grin knowing that she was not only his mate, but that any demons attending the event would know by her scent as well. It would take a lot to get the silly grin off of his face.

 

Souta paid the cab driver and the group made their way under the massive wooden Torii gates of the Meiji Emperor's Shrine. Four pairs of geta sandals crunched the small stone gravel that paved the way to the shrine. Inuyasha held Kagome's hand while Souta and Mrs. Higurashi walked ahead of them.

 

“I wonder how Hitomi looks now and how many children she has…,” murmured Kagome. “Oh and Kami! I can finally introduce her to her own grandmother and Uncle! This is so strange, Inuyasha….Inuyasha?”

 

“Hummmm…?” Inuyasha looked back at her with a smile and a cloudy look in his eyes.

 

“Where are you Inuyasha?” said Kagome as she slapped him playfully on his arm.

 

“Oi…Keh…I was re-living last night,” said Inuyasha with a grin that was slowly becoming both evil and sexy at the same time.

 

“Oh,” said Kagome as her face started to turn beet red. Her voice then dropped a few levels so that she could be sure that only a hanyou with very good hearing could understand. A small smile played itself across her face as well. “It was nice to be in your arms again, Inuyasha.” The couple paused as Souta and Mrs. Higurashi walked on ahead of them.

 

Inuyasha reached for her hand again and pulled her close to him in a firm embrace. “I'm not letting you go Kagome,” he said earnestly as he looked into her eyes. “We're mates now.” He kissed her briefly on the tips of her lips and then the passion that he had expressed to her last night came roaring out of him.

 

Unbidden he took Kagome fiercely and pressed her hands to her side. His mouth started to devour hers and then he couldn't help but to start to nibble on her exposed neck as his lips and tongue traced their way from her ears to the divot at the base of her throat.

 

“My my, you still can't keep your hands off of each other…,” a mature female voice called out.

 

Inuyasha almost snarled as he turned to face whomever was interrupted his tryst with his mate. He then gaped in astonishment as he looked on the form of his daughter, Hitomi, who was carrying a baby in her arms.

 

“Hitomi?” asked Inuyasha in complete befuddlement.

 

“Hitomi-chan!” yelled Kagome as she moved out from under Inuyasha and ran toward Hitomi with outstretched arms.

 

“Mom…Dad,” called out the woman who looked like an older version of Kagome. Just like Kagome she had chocolate colored eyes, long wavy raven black hair and a gentle air about her. Their daughter looked to be in her mid-thirties and she had a few wisps of grey in her hair that had been missing the last time they had seen her 200 years ago. Kagome noticed that Hitomi's little black dog-like ears were not showing and saw that a concealment ring was in place.

 

Kagome reached out and hugged Hitomi, mindful of the little baby in her arms. Inuyasha ran up to squeeze them both with his arms.

 

“A baby?” said Kagome. “Can I hold him? Is he yours?”

 

Hitomi smiled up at Kagome and then lifted a small baby swaddled with blue clothes into her waiting arms. The baby had a tuft of black hair and brown-gold eyes.

 

Kagome's eyes lit up as she held the tiny creature and started to rock him in her arms. “Inuyasha! Look at this!” she gaped as she gently pulled some hair aside to show him a pair of incredibly tiny black ears, but that were nearly invisible against his black hair. Inuyasha looked down and noticed that he also sported human ears as well.

 

“Cute little bugger,” said Inuyasha thoughtfully. “What's his name?”

 

Hitomi grinned. “He's my grandson, Isamu. My daughter, Rui, married a human and this is their first child.”

 

“Oh he's gorgeous Hitomi,” said Kagome as she held the baby close to her and looked at his tiny face. She smiled at the baby and the baby cooed back at her.

 

“That's your great-grandma,” said Hitomi as she looked at the questioning infant. “Come along, Mom,” she said, “there's a lot of us here who are dying to meet you and Dad.”

 

“Dad?” thought Inuyasha briefly as the words that were once so familiar to him started to wash themselves over his memory again, bringing back images of the twelve children they had and even images of some of his grandchildren.

 

“The tea house is up ahead on the left,” Hitomi said as they turned down another gravely path which lead to a small lake. Nestled within the garden path was a small one-story tea house. The placards outside denoted it as being the emperoress' teahouse and was built in the 1860's.

 

Kagome noticed the large crowd that was already gathered there was also dressed in formal dress. But it was how everyone looked that truly warmed her heart. Nearly everyone there had some similarities to Kagome and Inuyasha. She saw many heads of wavy raven hair or silver hair or various shades of grey, eyes of brown, gold or brown-gold, some figures with a stout muscular frame or some with long legs and a willowy frame. Everyone seemed like some muted variation on Inuyasha and herself. It was all strangely familiar.

 

Kagome soon caught the sight of her own Dad and Grandmother and moved Hitomi toward them to introduce them.

 

“Grandma, Dad, this is my daughter, Hitomi. She was my youngest child,” said Kagome with pride.

 

“My great-granddaughter or should I call you granddaughter?!” exclaimed Mrs. Higurashi as her eyes nearly brimmed with tears and she hugged Hitomi fiercely. Souta soon followed and his eyes were equally as wet.

 

“Mom, Dad, I have many more people to introduce you to,” said Hitomi as she pulled her mother along while Kagome still carried her cherished great-grandson. Inuyasha quickly followed in their wake as the crowd that had gathered started to murmur and then parted to allow the small group through.

 

A very startled looking man turned to look up at Hitomi, Kagome and Inuyasha. He looked to be in his mid-thirties and was wearing an emerald green kimono He had long black hair that was bound up in a braid and he had emerald green eyes. And he bore a striking resemblance to Koga except for his eyes.

 

“Kyou,” said Inuyasha with a hint of anger to his voice.

 

“Yes, honored father-in-law,” said Kyou. “I was never able to ask you for your permission to marry Hitomi. But I hope that you are satisfied that I have been taking good care of her for the past 200 years.”

 

Inuyasha grabbed the man by his kimono collar and shoved him against the nearest tree. Some people nearby gasped in amazement. However, few people seemed truly surprised at the turn of events.

 

“You were always sniffing around our home. You were looking for Hitomi? Weren't you?” asked Inuyasha in a threatening tone.

 

“Yes, I…I couldn't help myself. Ever since I first saw Hitomi I had to make her my mate. My intentions were honorable…,” said the full-blooded demon who seemed all too human under his ring of concealment. Inuyasha's glared at his fiercely with his fangs exposed.

 

“You waited until I died to mate with her? Didn't you wolf-shit?” asked Inuyasha accusingly.

 

“I…I…had no choice. You wouldn't let Hitomi and me be together. We met for years in secret. I always loved your daughter and I always will…,” Kyou's eyes looked down at Inuyasha's feet doing everything he could to brook no further argument.

 

“Inuyasha,” hissed Kagome in a whisper. “This is not the time or place to play alpha male…this is the father to your grandchildren and great-grandchildren…”

 

“I just, I just don't trust wolves…,” added Inuyasha as he let go of Kyou's collar and let him drop unceremoniously back to the ground.

 

Kagome moved up next to him and kissed his cheek. “Koi, you have me. All of me. In our past life and this life. You don't need to fear the big bad wolf anymore.”

 

Inuyasha turned around to look at Kagome with a misty look in his eyes as he whispered to her. “I was always so afraid that you would leave me for wolf-shit. That you would finally have enough of me and I would never see you again.”

 

Kagome placed two hands on his chest and then kissed him full on the lips. “I was married to you for over 300 years and I never left you then or now…Stop being afraid…you know I love you and only you…now and forever.”

 

“Yes, Koi,” Inuyasha murmured as he sought out her lips again and gently kissed her.

 

They were both ignoring the outside world, but they could hear some murmurs of tears, laughter and hoots at their display. Kagome then pulled away from him bashfully, her cheeks beet red and then she hid her face in his kimono.

 

Suddenly they heard a loud whistle over the murmur of the crowd surrounding them. The crowd parted again and they were witness to Koga in a formal blue and gold kimono. “Did you finally get that out of your system, mutt-face?” asked Koga with the usual smirk on his face. “I should really kick your butt for threatening my boy…but since he is also your son-in law how about we both just settle this over some sake?”

 

For one of the few times in Inuyasha's life, he smiled at Koga and moved his hand to grip Koga's hand in his own. The crowds around them cheered and they were soon moved to a table outside where their immediate family sat to drink some sake. During the next two hours they meet all of their surviving grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, and assorted sons and daughter in -laws. By the end of the day Inuyasha had made peace with Koga and had forgiven Kyou for mating with Hitomi. He even acknowledged that if Kyou had not taken Hitomi as his mate, that she wouldn't have lived long enough for them to see her today.

 

Soon the revelers found themselves toasting to each others' health and yelling `Banzai!” with every sip. After everyone was giddy with sake-induced playfulness—Inuyasha announced their imminent wedding. Standing astride a park bench next to the koi filled lake, Inuyasha began his announcement.

 

“As many of you know I married and mated Kagome in our past life. The problem with the vows we once took is that they were until `death do us part'. So we're going to say our vows again. You are all formally invited to our wedding ceremony three weeks from now on Saturday at the Higurashi Sunset Shrine temple at 4PM. Please do us the honor of attending!”

 

Cheers were heard up and down the crowd and some of the men managed to grab Inuyasha. The half-demon was soon being carried on their backs as they brought him back down again for some more sake and many more yells of “Banzai!” Another hour had passed and the sun had started to dip over the horizon before they were able to leave.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Inuyasha was dropped off first by the taxi at the Moroboshi Temple. He kissed Kagome gently on the lips and then murmured in her ear, “See you later koishii…,” before he walked into his families' temple grounds.

 

Once Kagome's family returned home she walked up to her room to put on her pajamas. She walked up to the mirror by her bedside and took out the ivory comb on the top of her hair. Then she reached behind to take out hairpins that had held a bun in place. Soon wavy black ringlets fell down her back. Then she started to undo her obi, which had three layers. First she undid the braid-like cord that held her obi in place before unwinding two more obi belts that lied underneath. After hanging the cords on her nightstand she started to take off the heavy silk maroon kimono that was layered on top. Then she took off two more successive layers of kimonos: one that was a light blue silk and one that was a heavy white cotton. Soon she was standing in her room wearing only a lacy pink bra and panties.

 

She turned to her closet to get out a set of pink pajamas that she was going to wear tonight. But before she could put them on she heard a voice from her window.

 

“Oi wench, don't cover up!”

 

“Inuyasha!” she exclaimed with her pajamas held before her breasts.

 

“Keh. Didn't you know I was going to show up?” he said with a grin as he dropped down from the window into her room.

 

“I wasn't too sure…,” she murmured helplessly.

 

“I told you that I couldn't help but come back for seconds, and thirds and… Oh drop those clothes Kagome. I can't see you properly…,” he said while trying to look past the pajamas that obscured his view of her breasts and tummy. “You were covered up with a kimono all day and I really wanted to see what was underneath.”

 

Kagome smiled as the pajamas dropped to the floor and placed her arms on her hips.

 

“Exactly how long were you watching, Inuyasha,” she said in feint anger.

 

“Long enough,” he smirked as he walked up to her and placed his hands on her hips as well. His molten gold eyes alighted on her stormy brown ones and her face immediately softened. He moved his hands to her cheeks to hold her face firmly in his hands as he tilted her face up for a kiss. It was gentle at first before it quickly became more needy and wet. Kagome's arms pressed up against him and then found the opening at the top of his kimono. Soon her tiny hands were massaging up against his chest and were widening the opening to his kimono with each stroke.

 

Inuyasha then gripped Kagome's form firmly, pulling her toward him. He couldn't help but to pause and have one hand lightly brush against her beautiful bottom that was framed in silky pink panties. “Miroku had some ideas right,” he thought wryly as his hand slipped underneath the panties. Soon he was feeling the difference between the silky coolness of her panties and the firm, warm roundness of her bottom. He couldn't help but to pull her up closer to him. Her warm sex nestled his sex so nicely. It was too bad that he still had all of his clothes on.

 

He then tugged at his kimono top. He was trying to shrug out of it while still keeping as much physical contact with Kagome as possible. Kagome's hands helped to push his top apart and down. His fingers fumbled with the kimono knot and it was quickly undone. Kagome's now had more skin to touch. She touched the silky skin that rested on top of hard, firm muscles. Soon all he had on was a pair of black briefs that were tenting in the front. He quickly bent down to lift Kagome up and then placed her down gently on the bed. Then his body followed hers in quick succession to lie on top of her propped up by his forearms.

 

His kisses started on her forehead, then down the nape of her neck, to the divot at the base of her neck, and to the valley of her breasts. Inuyasha couldn't help but to grin to hear her moan and most importantly to smell the luscious musky scent that revealed her arousal. He licked the valley between her round orbs before lingering his tongue around the edges of her bra. He frowned momentarily in displeasure at the bra before he managed to find the fasteners and unlatch the bra. The lacy silk slipped out of his fingers so that he could look down on two lovely round orbs that were begging to be suckled. He couldn't help but to devour one breast and then the other. His fangs gently nipped her breast and Kagome felt a prickling against her tender skin. The sensation of both pleasure and pain at the same time was enormously arousing.

 

Kagome bent up her face to ensnare his mouth in another deep kiss. Her pulse quickened and her hands found their way under his briefs. She gently stroked his firm backside before encircling her hands to his front to find something long, warm and hard. He started to immediately groan as she squeezed the base of his cock and slid her hands up and down. It then followed quite naturally to help get him out of his briefs to pull them apart and allow an extra width in the drawers before sliding them down his muscular legs.

 

He smirked at her as his warm length pressed up against her thighs. Then he pulled his heat away to huddle over her on all fours. She soon found him pulling her silky panties off of her body.

 

She pushed herself up and her mouth quickly found his hardened cock. He couldn't help but to sit up, as his cock was at complete attention. Moans escaped his lips as her tongue gently licked around his shaft before her entire mouth took him in. The warm, wet tightness of her mouth and the way her back teeth scrapped against him was wonderful. His cock bobbed and pulsed in her mouth before he had to get her to stop. He didn't want to finish in her mouth tonight.

 

Her gently pushed her away and let his hands push up from the base of her hips to glide out across her skin to her breasts. Then he settled himself between her thighs letting his hands stroke up against her silky skin before his tongue found her opening. She moaned and her hips bucked as he let his tongue lick from the base of her wetness to the nub at the top. She was squirming as he paid special attention to the nub and even let his teeth scrap up against it. Her body suddenly spasmed and he was pleased to feel a gushing of her personal juices against his tongue.

 

Her eyes were heavy lidded and her body was boneless as he moved up his body against hers. His lips found hers again and this time they tasted each other as they kissed. Their own personal scents combined.

 

His hardness was rubbing against the wetness of her core. He then pushed up against her and found immense pressure and tightness coming up against him. She was wet and ready, but her body was still almost virginal. It was at that moment that he fully seemed to realize that it was her reincarnation that he was with tonight. His memories told him that this was the woman he had been married to for over 300 years. But her body told him this was someone new. He was someone new. But his only desire was to be with her again. Somewhere deep inside it was almost as if he had been waiting for her for over 200 years and he really couldn't wait anymore. Even if they had new bodies, he really couldn't imagine not being with her, not loving her, not sharing his life with her again…

 

With that thought he pushed up against her tightness again and felt his shaft plunging deep inside of her. “Ahhhh,” both Inuyasha and Kagome moaned as he pressed himself up against her to the hilt. It was very tight, so he paused before be started to move in and out of her again. His hands propped himself up against her and he looked into her eyes. He found nothing but love and understanding as he looked at eyes that reflected his own face. There was a sweetness there that he felt had been missing for far too long in his life. He hoped that she could feel his love for her as he pressed himself into her again.

 

Then he was momentarily disoriented when he saw a feral gleam in her eyes. Her legs wrapped up tightly around his waist. Then she pushed against one side to roll them over. Soon she had righted herself up on top of him while still keeping him in.

 

She smiled at him and Inuyasha couldn't help but to think that she was wearing his telltale smirk. One of her hands pressed down on his abdomen and another between his legs behind her for balance. She then rode him and pressed her small form against his body. She rocked as she moved him in and out of her. They both moaned as her body found just the right place to rub so that his cock stroked her exactly where she wanted him to.

 

Inuyasha felt the tightening and pressure build up and he really wanted to release himself. But he was going to wait until she came first. He didn't have to wait long before her moans started building in intensity. He was quite sure that she was about to scream when her own fist went to her mouth to stifle the sexy sounds she was making. Inuyasha was a little disappointed. He really wanted to hear her scream. There was something deeply satisfying about bringing a lover to the point where their voice and body both lost control. “Maybe later,” he thought to himself. Then he let himself go. He took over the rhythm since Kagome's body was spasming and boneless on top of him. It only took a few more strokes before he let loose and had his own sweet release. He had briefly forgotten about his promise to keep quiet and he was about to let out a wonderful howl when her lips met his. He screamed into her mouth and then her tongue explored his. He was disoriented for a moment. The crashing feeling of his orgasm still made him a stranger to his own body. Soon he noticed her mouth on his and he returned her affections and his arms encircled her warm, sweaty body.

 

Then she pulled away from him, her chocolate eyes still gleaming and affectionate. She kissed his chin and then stroked his sweaty chest before she pulled out of him and spooned up next to him. He drew her next to him, hearing her heartbeat and he found himself strangely content. Yes, Naraku was out there and demons had been attacking Kagome. But here at this moment, nothing could bother him. He had his girl in his arms and everything was right in the world.

 

Inuyasha put a protective hand on Kagome's bare tummy. He then moved down and looked at her naked abdomen, which was still glistening with a sheen of sweat.

 

“Why are you so fascinated with my tummy, Inuyasha?” said Kagome playfully as she started to scratch the base of his ears. His chest started to rumble in appreciation, but he couldn't take his eyes off of her lower form.

 

“I…ah…I was remembering what happened after the first time we made love. Remember the first time we married?”

 

Kagome giggled. “I was so nervous during the wedding ceremony. I nearly spilled my sake.”

 

Inuyasha couldn't help but to interrupt, “But Miroku had told me before the ceremony to not spill a drop of sake, since it would be bad luck, so…”

 

Kagome continued, “…with your hanyou senses you were able to right the cup before anything happened and then you even helped me sip the sake. I still remember our eyes meeting as you brought the sake cup to my lips…,” she added smiling.

 

“Well, I had to make sure that you didn't spill a drop. I didn't want to have bad luck hovering over us…,” said Inuyasha in feigned annoyance.

 

He then returned his glance at her belly. “But that's not what I meant. After our first time together, as mates…” he looked at her with a knowing grin, “You were with pup so quickly…and your belly and breasts got so big!”

 

Kagome folded her arms to her chest in feigned indignation. “Yes, I remember…”

 

“Koishii,” said Inuyasha as he looked back at her eyes. “I meant to say that even though I was shocked to see you pupped, I…I was so happy when Keiko was born. She looked just like you and I loved her so much. After seeing Hitomi, our grandchildren and great-grandchildren today--I've been thinking …”

 

“And …?” asked Kagome.

 

He looked at her seriously and stroked her cheeks with both hands. “I wouldn't mind being a Dad all over again.”

 

Kagome's brown eyes widened, “So soon?”

 

“I wouldn't mind if you were pupped right now,” said Inuyasha with a gleam in his eyes as he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him.

 

“Eeep!” she yelped and then quickly quieted down fearing that her dad or grandmother might hear them. She then turned to look at his serious face. “I want to finish my degree first. But after my degree is done, then let's start talking about having kids.”

 

Inuyasha looked at her belly again and whined. “Do I have to wait that long?”

 

Kagome giggled again. “You waited 200 years. I don't think three more years will kill you!”

 

“Well, then we need to make sure that we have practiced the art of making pups thoroughly until then,” he said as he pounced on her.

 

“Inuyasha!” she yelped happily as she received his warm embrace once more.

Next Chapter: While Kagome and Inuyasha plan their nuptials Naraku starts to spin his web.

 

Special Thanks to Theleb K'aarna who was my Beta for this chapter.

 

Author's Notes:

#1: I thought that I should mention that these are the only characters who are NOT reincarnations: Sesshomaru, Koga, Ayame, Hitomi, Kyou (and other various descendents of Inuyasha). Sesshomaru is the one who has changed the most over the years. Koga has also become more mellow. Everyone else (i.e. Kagome, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Hojo, Naraku, Kagura, Rin) are all reincarnations.

 

Special thanks to the following reviewers:

my-soul-is-your-soul & sofiakalaughable: Glad you liked it.

JarethsCrystallineDream: Where do I get my story ideas? Chapter one was inspired by Elizabeth's and Mr. Darcy's first meeting in `Pride and Prejudice'. The rest of the story has basically been my attempt at getting these very strong willed characters to adhere to my plotline, but they haven't been cooperating very well. Inuyasha and Kagome were supposed to be fighting for a lot longer. Kagome wasn't supposed to remember her past quite as quickly as she did. And the sex scenes! Arrgh! Those two just couldn't be stopped. I couldn't keep their hands off of each other. So I guess I'm telling you that the characters really wrote the story themselves, I was just along for the ride. Oh and the music. I have the Best of Inuyasha. Is Kikyo's Theme on it? I only have the opening and closing songs of the series on it.

Devil Rebel: OK. I'm glad that you didn't know that Hojo was turning evil. I was hoping that it would take everyone by surprise. Glad you're enjoying the story.

Theleb K'aarna: Yes, Sesshomaru is a little more emotional now. But 500 years of having your loved one live and die on you can do that to you. He has gone through 7 reincarnations with Rin so far. Luckily, now she is hanyou and will live longer.
