Wonderful LeahCeah, I am so glad that you are working on this story again. I have been waiting for a long time to know whether or not you were going to continue this story. I am enjoying the re-write and can't wait for the next chapter. I've been a fan since you first started posting this. | Reviewed By: Irish Rebel [MediaMiner Member] On: October 08, 2011 08:21 EDT

All right, an update! Okay, let's see... Kagome's powers are starting to show themselves, so that was cool. Interesting that you've incorporated concealment charms in a universe where humans know of youkai, generally speaking. I have actually seen that done I think once before, and it worked out very well. It does make perfect sense. Even if the youkai never died out, not all of them went into hiding and humans continue to this day to know of their existence, it still makes sense that those who can mask themselves as humans would probably choose to do so, just to make things easier on everybody. Nice little add-in. You've also revealed that while Kagura is apparently several centuries old, if she remembers hearing about the jewel from before, Inuyasha is clearly not that old from reminiscing over his father's tails of how the land was once lush and green. That means that he wasn't there himself, in the past, with the jewel the first time around. The jewel is clearly inside Kagome and I'm sure you're probably planning on bringing up Kikyou who died with the jewel and yada yada yada, but nice to know that apparently Inuyasha won't have any "personal" history with the previous miko. Not that there's anything wrong with that, per se, but I like diversity! I don't know why I feel like I have to decipher your story as it goes like a game of clue, but at least you can tell I'm interested, no? Keep up the great work!

Wonderful update, and a couple of my questions were indeed already answered. One, Kagome clearly has no idea that she also has spiritual powers of her own, and two, Inuyasha does in fact usually face prejudice for his mixed heritage. While I sometimes like universes in which no one seems to give a crap that he's hanyou, that setting usually makes for an entirely different Inuyasha. There's a time and a place for the cocky playboy, I suppose, but most of the time, I prefer the hardened, insecure Inuyasha who is amazed by the fact that Kagome so openly accepts him. Really looking forward to where you go from here!

Oh wow, what a wonderful beginning to what I'm sure is going to be a wonderful story! I love reinventions of the traditional storyline like this, modern AUs that still involve Kagome and the jewel. What an interesting universe you have created. I've seen this type of universe before, humans and youkai working together, but yet there are also still evil rouge youkai, which the good youkai help take down to save the humans. That's my favorite type of AU universe! It seems the most realistic, to me, if what we know of from the past continued on as time passed and humans continued to evolve. Assuming that the youkai didn't all die out like they apparently did for the purposes of the canon, then this does seem the most likely scenario, that some good youkai would decide to put aside their differences with the humans while a few scattered evil ones continue to crawl out of the woodwork from time to time. And so many hints you have already given us! Of course, Inuyasha and Kagome are tied together now, since he just promised her dying father that he would take care of her. Inuyasha seems a man of his word. I also like that this is apparently a universe in which hanyou are treated as equals, or at least legally. Some prejudice might rear its ugly head, but if he has such a respectable job, then clearly this is not a universe in which both the human and youkai governments alike believe that hanyou are lower abominations. I also love the fact that he called for backup, even though he was able to take care of the situation by himself. That shows that he's older, more mature and responsible, rather than thinking he's invincable and not wanting anybody to help him. The fact that Mrs. Higurashi instantly knew that Inuyasha was the good-guy even as she came on the scene late like that also supports the 'good youkai' layout of your universe, and I love that you also had Mr. Higurashi attempting to fight the youkai, revealing the possession of spiritual powers. You've currently left it up in the air whether or not Kagome knows she's a miko and has spiritual powers of her own, though that will obviously be the case, and I wonder...was that murdered girl that looked so much like Kagome connected to the bad guys trying to find the sacred jewel? Did Mistress Centipede actually come out of the well and will time-travel be involved in this, or was she just hiding out in there and the past shall be remaining in the past? You've definitely left a few unanswered questions, which I know was intentional because now I will just have to keep reading to find out!
