Comment/Review:
I can't help but notice that three regularly scheduled new chapters
in a row have been missed, as well as several recent previous
chapters have been late. While part of me really wants to know what
is up with the bird demon, and people getting sick and all that,
the bigger part of me is starting to get worried about you. Is
everything alright? Have there been complications from you husband
surgery? Maybe the bad weather back East has knocked out your power
and you simply are unable to write or post. Or is life just
throwing you a lot of curveballs right now? Whatever is the case I
hope all will be well soon, and if not my thoughts and well wishes
are with you.

Nice update. Better to have it a day late than skip an update
altogether! Do we have another naysayer in our midst? Although I
guess if you want to get technical, Denjiro's not far off in his
grumblings. It *is* Sesshoumaru's scent, and presumably Inuyasha's
as well, that lured that bird-youkai to them. But that's one youkai
drawn to them out of HOW many random pesky ones Inuyasha has chased
away? I bet even he doesn't know how many youkai attacks he's
prevented, because lower beasts and oni, I bet a lot of them just
smelled him (and Sesshoumaru) and decided against a confrontation,
heading the other way. Plus let's not forget how he comes in handy
during a bandit raid. Yes, it's unfortunate what happened to the
cow, but I think the bottom line here has got to be the fact that
all the local (and even not-so-local) kami are on Inuyasha's side
and say he belongs there. And now that Kagome's back, well sure
they might run into the occasional youkai trouble, but they've also
got a very powerful miko to help deal with it when it happens. Like
Tameo said, the kami gave them the right tools to do the job. You
know this is a great story when we can get a chapter that's 100%
original characters and it's still just as awesome as any other
chapter, LOL. That's quite the community you've created for
yourself. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what happens
next!

Whoa...okay, was not expecting that! So it's explained well enough
that Sesshoumaru's father agreed to something or another that
created a magic spell that now binds him in the presence of at
least that yosuzume if not others, but why the hell would he do
that? She could have pecked at him had Jaken not been there!
At least we know why she's bothering the village now. 'Curiosity',
indeed. I guess the wording of the spell could have been intended
to be a promise that Sesshoumaru would never attack her,
never harm her, but damn, it shouldn't make him completely immobile
like that! Just prevent offense, not defense. Well I
bet Inuyasha isn't bound by that promise, since it sounds like
something that originally happened before he was born. Thank
goodness! And least he and Kagome can take that bitch out, if need
be. Sounds like Rin was indeed the target when the bird was
circling that field. Can't have that. I would say 'never a moment's
peace' but of course, this is months later after all the craziness
of the previous arc, so in reality they *have* had some peace
before this new development. Looking forward to seeing what happens
next!

Uh-oh...so much for Sesshoumaru rushing in to save Rin's life from
the dive-bombing bird-youkai, LOL. So Inu/Kag scared it off (or it
was just toying with them) and now it's gone to pick on
Sesshoumaru? Well, I suppose that hints towards it being the same
yosuzume that attacked Inuyasha before...unless there's a whole
family of them that have a bone to pick with the Inu no Taisho's
family, for some reason. Like Inuyasha said, there's always a
reason. It might not be a human reason, but there's a reason. Glad
nothing bad happened to Kimi, Tazu and Rin, I guess aside from Tazu
now having that same sore throat curse thingie that's still
affecting Nakao. I guess she'll be okay, though. How's that old
joke go? Doctor it hurts when I do this...well then don't do that,
LOL. So I guess if she's only just not 'allowed' to speak of the
bird-youkai, then she's fine otherwise. Still though, it'd
definitely be better if they could figure out how to cure that. And
I can feel Inuyasha's frustration with being that close and losing
his prey, but it was the right decision to not pursue at that
moment. I'm sure it'll be back...provided Sesshoumaru doesn't kill
it with a flick of his wrist, of course, LOL. Looking forward to
seeing what happens next!

Ah, good. Glad to see that we won't just have Sesshoumaru rushing
in to the rescue, but that Inuyasha and Kagome are right there by
Rin as well as the yosozume shows itself. Glad it showed itself at
all; much easier to catch that way. And dropping little treasures,
indeed. Good for Kagome, picking the feather up unafraid and
letting her powers zap it one. Her powers would definitely win out,
no doubt about it. Her arrow should take care of the whole bird
too, I'd imagine, provided Sesshoumaru gives her a chance to fire,
LOL. Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

LOL, poor Inuyasha. My oh my but has he matured over the years, or
he never ever would've been able to keep his temper like that, LOL.
I'm not worried about the bird-youkai approaching Rin since we know
who else is approaching from the west. Hopefully Inuyasha
can pick up a scent trail. Even if he can't track it, especially
since it flies like he pointed out, if he can at least locate the
scent that'll confirm once and for all they're dealing with the
same type of youkai (or same exact youkai?) instead of it only
being a good hypothesis. Definitely looking forward to seeing what
happens next!

Yay, progress! I laughed when the adults were ignoring Nakao for a
minute there. Just like adults to ignore a child in such an
important conversation, but good for Nakao to speak up and get
himself noticed. Glad Kaede had been able to cure whatever spell
had been causing his throat to clamp up on him when he tried to
tell what he saw. After hearing what the scratches look like on the
cow we know it's definitely the same creature. I guess 'creature'
is the wrong word since the bird becomes a girl. But what the hell
does she want? Guess we'll find out pretty soon. Keep up the
awesome work!

So glad you're back! What a crazy week, huh? Well, hopefully like
you said things will be calm now and you can be back on your twice
a week schedule. Loved this update, of course. Glad Kaede had
something to take care of Nakao's throat magically closing up on
him every time he tried to tell his story. That bird lady
definitely did that one too him when she glared at him, I'd say.
And was that a dig, Inuyasha, about you not having the power in
your glare to shut Kagome up? LOL. No, Kaede's right, he's not the
one in his family with that gift, our miko is! LOL. So glad we're
getting to the bottom of this, but damn, one of Toshiro's cows? I
guess a bird youkai's gotta eat, but seems to me she's picking on
them on purpose. But why? And IS she the same one Inuyasha saw as a
child? Is Inuyasha the reason she's there? I guess I'll find out,
LOL, but this is a lovely new arc you're shaping and the mystery is
fun! Keep up the awesome work!

Does sound like it's all connected to me. Could be another of the
same species, but something tells me it's probably the same one.
But Inuyasha's not on her mountain, she's invading
his territory, so what the hell's her deal? And nobody's
heard of the feather magic, so that is definitely something new.
Then again, from Inuyasha's story, she just ran him outta town, so
it's not like he had a chance to learn all of the different tricks
she had up her sleeve. Not surprised that by Kagome's time, our
time, the legend of the yosuzume has become so toned down, warped
away from what they really were. Or maybe there are different
types, different levels, and the little sparrows are the weaker
ones. Whatever. Looking forward to getting to the bottom of this,
though! Keep up the awesome work. :-)

All's forgiven for skipping Tuesday! This was a really good update!
Yosuzume, you say? *strokes chin thoughtfully* Very interesting. So
Nakao DID see a bird turn into a girl. We're dealing with a
bird-youkai...but what the heck does she want and why make the
peddler sick? How the heck did he wind up with a youkai feather
tied to his wrist? IS his rambling connected to that other peddler
in any way, or was that part just a coincidence? Or maybe he didn't
bump into that other peddler, but whatever messed with Hajime's
mind also messed with that other peddler. Except he just seemed
'off' in the head in a more normal kind of way, and he was a
stranger there and therefore didn't know Inuyasha. We can excuse
his reaction, if he is a touch crazy, is plagued by ghosts, and
legitimately fears all youkai and got spooked at the sight of him.
Hajime, he KNOWS Inuyasha, so it took a fever to make him
delirious. Perhaps there is some other youkai monster eating people
somewhere, and they're confusing Inuyasha for that monster. Well
whatever is going on, something tells me it's all
interconnected with everything else. Quite an interesting new arc
you're weaving. Keep up the awesome work!

What's up with Nakao? Sounds like an actual, magical reaction, like
somebody or something's trying to stop him from telling what that
person or thing deems he should not be telling. Interesting twist.
And it's funny about Hajime not recognizing Inuyasha at all
despite his fevered state. You'd think he'd kind of remember
him. I guess he's just really, really out of it. Interesting theory
about somebody poisoning the local peddlers. Guess that means it
wouldn't be catching, if that's the case, although that first
peddler wasn't sick, just sick in the head. Could be he's the one
that filled Hajime's head with such nonsense and because of his
fever he believed it. Could even be that he didn't believe it at
first, but then got sick, and now not really being aware of what's
going on that peddler's warnings are somehow coming to the
forefront of his mind. Whatever's happening, something tells me
that bird-youkai woman thing Nakao saw might just play a part in
it. Good twists! Super looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Now I'm very curious, too! I wasn't expecting this twist. I just
figured Kagome was going to make her way to Kaede's and bump into
everyone else and the sick herb peddler. So there's a bird youkai
nearby? Did she have anything to do with the peddler's fever? If
she had mean eyes like a rooster before it charges, that's probably
not a good sign. I would think, like a bird, she was just glaring
if Nakao got too close to her nest, but Inuyasha usually does
patrols, I'm sure, so he wouldn't let a youkai that powerful make
roost so close to the village. Not unless they'd already had a
conversation in which she'd sworn she meant the local humans no
harm, and Inuyasha would've made sure the villagers knew she was
there so that a situation like this wouldn't happen. No, she's
definitely there uninvited, but what, exactly, is she up to?
Hmmmmmmm... Good twist! Looking forward to seeing what happens
next!

Poor Inuyasha, LOL. First that one crazy peddler, now this
peddler, who's even been there before and knows of Inuyasha
already! But, I suppose, we can excuse his delirium because of the
fever, and we already know the crazy peddler probably wove one hell
of a tail. Wonder if it was that poor child he helped that got him
sick? And they said there was a fever going around. Sure hope it
doesn't spread into something bad. Any of Daikoku's good luck still
hanging around? LOL. That's just too funny. 'Get the guard',
'You're looking at him' LOL. Wonderful first day on the job, ne,
Inuyasha? Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Oh dear, now what's happened? LOL, well, Inuyasha will definitely
earn his stripes. It's good that he agreed to become an official
member of the guard. He'd help out if the shit really hit the fan
anyway, so may as well make it official. Not that there's very
many, if any, people left in the village who still have a problem
with him, but it does also help give him a leg to stand on as far
as status and power goes. People *do* have to listen to him, at
least when it's his turn wielding the club. Of course technically,
he's higher status anyway, not that the naysayers paid his status
any attention. It's just so cool seeing him act like a part of the
community he is in fact a part of. I can understand how it still
feels a little weird to him, like when he realized they were just
teasing him about being late. He definitely had a good excuse for
why he was late, though, LOL. The opening scene was cute, too.
Damn...so close and yet so far, LOL. Now Kagome has to wait a whole
month to play with his human ears again. He better not think she'll
forget, either, LOL. All in all, a lovely little chapter. Looking
forward to seeing what happens next!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.. . So sweet! The opening bit with
Sesshoumaru was good, too. A little bit of insight. He doesn't even
realize how long he's staying away from Rin's perspective. Time
passes differently for youkai than humans, after all. Back with
Inu/Kag... AWWW! LOL. Seriously though, cute scene. So glad
they finally got to enjoy a new moon alone together. And with a
thunderstorm going on, no less. Awesome! I'm a sucker for a good
nighttime thunderstorm. Anyway, so awesome update, and keep up the
good work!
