"Secrets of the Dark" Reviews/Comments [ 8 ] | Reviewed By: kokoronagomu [MediaMiner Member] On: January 19, 2008 23:26 CST 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

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?
