Comment/Review:
scary stuff that. and her evening started on such a nice note. i wonder if you are going to give kikyo a little conscience after seeing her sister saddled with even more responsibility although a spoiled youth most probably has the inability to see past their own selfishness, i'm curious to see if there is a beating heart in the child. . . kagome should allow herself at least a half hour to an hour daily to unwind, relax, think, cry if she needs it. it would be a good thing if she was trained to use her powers so she can protect her charges. . . you're adding more drama to the girl's life... like i always say, 'gotta deal with what you're given and don't think about how tired you are until it's over. you gotta do what you gotta do and get it done right.' and uncle scrooge from 'duck tales' says, "work smarter not harder." . . . sorry, i'm in a mood. good chapter. ~ thank you, ginny

I don't have anywhere near the level of insight that kokoronagomu has on this. But I agree. Kagome is headed for a meltdown. What surprises me is that Inuyasha is aware of the situation, but would rather get his jollies tormenting her then doing the nice thing and letting her have a Saturday off. Especially since he had nothing to do. Is he really that big a jerk, or is he merely being selfish and just wants her near?

the grieving process takes a year or two and one HAS to take time to grieve, i know, the consequences are devastating if you don't. kagome hadn't allowed herself to grieve (her sister hadn't allowed her to either)... she is one major breakdown waiting to happen. i was a messed up monkey for a couple years after my childrens' father killed himself (they were 5 & 3 year old at the time), therapy helped. . . you describe it as if you've lived it, i hope things are good for you now. . . at least sango had opened her mind and noticed indications of the true situation. kagome also had a quiet dignity and didn't retaliate, that goes a long way toward acceptance. it's wonderful she has a new friend who's been there. . . your descriptions, emotions, behavior are real, you make the characters come alive. ~ peace, ginny

i would have reviewed more often but i had computer troubles, sorry. . . goodness, kagome is little more than an adolescent herself and she has to support and run a household with little and now help from her siblings, no wonder that she can't 'spoil' her brother and sister. she didn't have time to mourn or come to grips she doesn't get a break, i have no sympathy for the self serving spoiled girl... even at 14 my kids noticed and understood the sacrifice their single mother made to see to their well being and to put food on the table (my daughter even commented that she noticed that i didn't eat until they had their fill if there was anything left, yes times were hard then). . . she should have gotten a part time job herself, to help out (both my children started doing part time and odd jobs at 14 for friends and relatives so they could purchase the clothes and games they wanted). . . goodness i am emotionally involved and i relate and feel a kinship to kagome! it's a wonder that sango doesn't take a little of what the girl says with a 'grain of salt' considering the source (selfish teen angst). ~ thank you, ginny

Souta is just adorable and Kikyo as the younger sister is not something I have read before. Anyway, this was a very enjoyable chapter and it was long too.! I just adore you!!!
