Excellent update!! I'm so glad that Kagura can be used as a positive character from now on and that Kanna was the one to make it possible:) Thanks so much for the new chapter!

Great chapter. I'm glad that they were able to help Kagura....and that Sango now finally has the name of the one who destroyed her family. And they are going to have their hands full with him. I can't wait to see what happens next.

WOA!!! Good, good, good!!! Excellent chapter!!! Love this Kagura, she is so true to our fav. character! Mmmm, so many secrets, so many revelations, so many things to happen... Love the interaction between the characters, the way you work and develop them. You take the needed time to make Sango get closer to Miroku, and little by little she is lowering her built up walls. The friendship's and family bonds you create in this story are amazing, because they come up naturally, not forced, not planned. It's their true nature speaking, the good in them, it seems that sooner or later, when they get to trust Kagura, she will be part of the circle. Now that she is free, she'll have a stronger reason to fight Naraku although she will still be afraid for her sister. HEHEHE... Naraku will be really pissed when finding out about Kagura's "little surgery", of course there should be a way that he is able to find out... or maybe not, so she would be able to sneak into the enemy's lines. This is getting soooooooo good, can't wait to next chapter!!! Excellent one Cathy!!! Excellent Easter present too!! Thanks for updating although it's Sunday and you must be really tired!! Thank you :bows deeply: Have a Happy Easter!!!

I like how Kagura has been introduced to the gang. This is a much better way than her attacking them on Naraku's orders. She is the sympathetic character she evolved into in the end instead of the cold-hearted character she was in the beginning. I feel sorry for Kagura that it was Kanna that hurt her sister. Kanna needs her head examined. Now Sango knows who hurt her family and it was good to see how protective Miroku was of Sango. Like Inuyasha and Kagome he gets stronger protecting the one he loves. Though it was a shocking way for Sango to learn Kohaku is out of the hospital she did need to know this, if for no other reason then to protect herself. I also liked how the question Sango had about the name for her father was chosen. It showed that she had put a great deal of thought and concern for her father into her choice. It demonstrated to Miroku her softer side which does not come out too often or to too many people. I am looking forward to see how this story develops now that Naraku has been introduced to all the main characters now.

Oh my, my, my. That made me quite ill, no, terrified. I could only see those who do not wish to do the act and will not heal so quickly. But I loved how Sango kept slipping and instead of saying 'Sensi Miroku', she would say, 'Mi' and catch herself. Sweet.

I like the softness in Miroku and Sango's growing relationship here. There is something to be said for building it slowly, giving them that chance to learn things about each other, even the small things some might consider insignificant. It was very good to see him apologize for his behavior, something I don't think he's really done with many women in the past. Again, he's making such an effort to change and put an end to womanizing behavior, which is essential if he actually intends on pursuing Sango legitimately. I think the women he's pursued in the past were not challenging---in fact they seemed to be quite easy and willing, but Sango presents that new challenge. She can fight and she's not looking for an easy lay. He seems to understand that he must be careful and this has made him conscious of his past transgressions against women. I think the more he interacts with her, the more disgusted he is becoming with who he was before meeting her. I love how they've shared a bit of their pasts as well, because it gives them something to build upon, a solid foundation if you will. Sango's sympathy, despite all the tragedy in her own life, for Miroku is also moving. It's subtle and touching and really doesn't need the over-dramatic touch some may like to force into the situation. Now if they could just get past that awkwardness! I like how Sesshomaru thinks of Inuyasha looking much like their father. It seems to be appropriate. And, tying Inuyasha's mother and Kagome's power over both is good. I like the comment about no male being able to put up with Sesshomaru's mother, though. I think it's fairly clear that she doesn't take crap from anyone and most certainly not males. I think it's interesting that Sesshomaru says that the pleasure of meeting Kagome is his. He's grown as much if not a bit more than Inuyasha has in the centuries. He's just as formal as always, but there's this underlying warmth to him somehow. I love how Rin is brought in, again there when he's hurt and doing what she can to save him. It must have touched him more than he's letting on in even this explanation. And to have her learn at Inuyasha's school is even better. The two brothers certainly have a connection and they seem to both regret not taking time to cultivate it more. And of course, Sesshomaru still can stick his foot in his mouth, announcing the engagement before the lady in question is even aware. Somehow, I don't think that bothers Kagome, though. Poor Sango feeling inadequate because she's not all that slutty, which I think is boring Miroku anyways. She should know better, considering all the time he's spending with her! I think it's good of them to invite her to the engagement party just for the four of them. They're certainly becoming close friends and although she feels a bit awkward still, she seems to want it more and more. I think if she would stop over analyzing the whole situation she would be a lot more comfortable with them. She just has to get the confidence to relax and just be. Given what Inuyasha is, and her knowledge of that, she should know that she's safe. There seems to be times when Sango is about to start to truly trust them and then she always pulls back. I suppose with her past it makes sense, but she has to start some where! I do think it's cute how she can talk to Kirara. Their understanding of one another is very endearing and a good touch to the story. So much of the time, it seems that she's overlooked as an actual character in stories that it's nice to see her fleshed out---as much as a non-speaking character can be, I guess. Miroku should work harder sometimes on behaving, however. He nearly scared her with that "it's a date" line, I think. And just what naughty things was he whispering to Inuyasha anyways? He shouldn't really give pointers to him if he knows what's good for him. He should certainly know that Inuyasha is very private about such things and really wouldn't want Miroku's nose in it.

Now we began to see what is actually going on with Sango. Sango searches for the meaning behind her dreams about her family tragedy with Kaede while Kagura searches for the one person who can prevent Naraku from completely his evil scheme. I would never have thought of making Kanna a sex toy. She was like an oracle in the manga.

GAH!!! What is wrong with that little [well 100 SHOULD be young]demon girl?? I wonder if she did all of that just to show to Kagura that he liked her better? Dear me, that girl is on something.

Good chapter. But the end sent chills down my spine. That was truly sick! But then again, what else can we expect of Naraku? I'll be looking for the next chapter.

Wow. Each chapter get us deeper and deeper into the plot. Fascinating, all the twists and turns and changing scenarios which take you even deeper. Loved the Sango-Kaede's moment, the old Kaede been just her. As Kagome's mom first now it's her time to give Sango an insight she didn't consider. Good for Sango, she is having a lot of friends and people that care and are willing to help her through. Kaede as Kikyo's mother? Poor Kaede!!! Never saw that coming!! But like it! ;) Poor Kagura, it's all I can say about her, but her spirit is still there!! Glad you brought her back last chapter, maybe she'll have a new opportunity in this story to make things right. Naraku is Naraku, evil till the end... wonder how Kagura will continue now, I know she won't be able to just betray him -after all she cares about Kanna and he held the heart's threat- but this is Kagura, somewhere she would be able to play her own game. Great update Cathy! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!! :hugs:

Well that was a sick and you're right, sadistic lemon, at the end, but you're writing these characters very well and I like how you're developing Sango's character too. Kanna's especially depraved this time around, isn't she? I have sympathy for Kagura, though, trying to protect her. Thanks for the update.

Ahh.. the "mature" hangover - you know, the one where you think "how the &*#$ did I ever do this in college?" Poor Miroku - once every five years is enough for me, thank you. But there is nothing like shared misery to promote closeness. Have to vote against the "hair of the dog" thing though (although if Inuyasha was offering I'd probably give it a whirl, what the hell). Though who actually owns the "Spank the love monkey" pants, I don't want to know! And favorite line of the chapter goes to Sess - "Are you holding pajama parties now, Little Brother?" (I can just picture the deadpan expression that accompanies that line - lol!) And after the frivolity, to have the chapter end with the appearance of Naraku! I can't wait for the next chapter and am eagerly waiting for more!

Comment/Review:
Koga is terribly foolish, isn't he? Just because Inuyasha is a hanyou does not mean his brother won't side with him. Regardless of their disputes and difficulties of the past, I just don't think Sesshomaru would choose Koga over Inuyasha---regardless of being full blood or not. Didn't he know that Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were brothers? And if not, why didn't he put two and two together? It's pretty stupid to go to him and whine about his baby brother doing this that and the other only to find out that Inuyasha IS his brother in the first place. It seemed the more he shouted about it the less credible he sounded, too. And what a way to incur Sesshomaru's wrath by insulting Inuyasha's blood. Sesshomaru may insult Inuyasha and call him half breed and all of that, but anyone else does it and they'll pay the price. It's one thing for Sesshomaru to say it---part of me wonders if it isn't so much out of habit or him hiding his fondness for his brother. Anyone else saying it doesn't just insult Inuyasha, it insults him. I thought Koga got what he deserved with that backhanding. I can't help but think this isn't the last we've seen of him, though. Regardless of the new death warrant if he should break Sesshomaru's rules, I don't see him giving up. He wants Kagome and he wants his pride back and to do that he has to beat Inuyasha. As for Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's conversation, I'm not surprised that they have to catch up some. I don't see them traveling in the same circles generally given their history. It's pretty funny though, that Myoga would wait until tape recorders. The silly flea should have known by now that no matter how angry Sesshomaru might be about something he said he'd not waste his time killing him. I also like the twist that as soon as Sesshomaru truly no longer wanted the sword it stopped rejecting him. Popular theory says it's because of his full blood that causes the rejection, but I don't buy it. If that were the case, their father should have never been able to use it. It's a youkai weapon, so therefore a youkai should be able to use it. Tetsusaiga is just particular on who uses it. Bad intentions earn you a shock and good intentions give you the ability to use it/touch it. I am curious to see however how these two will reconnect. I sense this remorse coming from Sesshomaru especially. Either one could have certainly reached out, but he seems to be the one most bothered by it. They might not have seen eye to eye and they may have fought viciously in the past, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel guilty. I get the impression that Sesshomaru feels lonely. Inuyasha is his only family and they've wasted so much time being at odds until they simply didn't talk anymore. I think he feels bad because they could have been closer and had a better understanding of one another. I think he also realizes that Inuyasha, for all the flaws he's focused on surrounding his blood and the like, is the type of person he should have trusted all along and feels rather foolish for not understanding that sooner. His brother's honest and loyal and, at his current age, rather wise. I get this sense that Sesshomaru feels like he's squandered so much time not reaching out to Inuyasha and building that type of alliance with him. While it wasn't necessary to have that set up in this particular situation, it would have saved him from bringing the whole fiasco to Inuyasha's dojo. I also get the sense that he isn't so unhappy with Inuyasha's choice in mates. I think it's interesting that you define "mates" as a means to an end relationship for either pure pleasure or the making of heirs rather than the now cliché but nice mate-for-life thing we see in most stories. I suspect that Sesshomaru realizes that Kagome is the right one and although she's human she not the deceitful creatures he feels the majority of humans are. I just have to wonder if Inuyasha will want his brother in his life as much as Sesshomaru seems to want Inuyasha in his.
