Can't blame Kagome for feeling homesick, especially now while she's so exhausted and things have been so crazy. It's all crashing down on her, but she'll get over it. If not, Inuyasha will make her feel better, I'm sure, and remind her why she left her old life behind. This was a good little update. Nice to see Aki's tired of trouble and is going to behave himself from now on. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. :-) | Reviewed By: SplendentGoddess [MediaMiner Member] On: October 18, 2013 16:56 PDT

Finally got a chance to read this latest update. Nicely done, of course, as always. Things are ticking along right on schedule, it seems. If it were me, I'd totally just let Seiji stay in the lockup the next day. He'll be spitting mad when he wakes up, not to mention sick with his hangover, and who'd want to deal with that mess on what's supposed to be an auspicious day for the wedding? And they should really decide what needs to be done with Seiji before just up and letting him out, anyway, which will involve a village meeting, Tameo's already acknowledged, so all the more reason to let it wait another day. That was a lovely scene with Miroku and Kimi at the end there. Alas, but humans are not perfect, so yes, sometimes we need to offer ourselves compassion and forgive ourselves our anger, when we experience it, because we are just as flawed as any other we'd seek to offer compassion toward. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. :-) | Reviewed By: SplendentGoddess [MediaMiner Member] On: October 15, 2013 16:26 PDT

Wow, that was good luck, for everyone involved, including Okuro, LOL. I can imagine the type of songs they meant by Kagome's reaction, and no, I don't think the father of the bride should be singing those types of songs at his own daughter's wedding, LOL. Looks like things are coming along nicely. I bet leaving Aki with Choujiro won't be a problem, if he's taken to wood work and wants to watch him make boards. I agree that Aki seems to have done a 180, in most ways at least. Even if for the most part he's just biting his tongue and toughing it out in order to get to see his grandma, that's still motivation nonetheless to behave and not cause trouble, but honestly I think it's more than that. He's actually had a real wake-up call. More than one. Definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next. Hope you feel better soon! | Reviewed By: SplendentGoddess [MediaMiner Member] On: October 08, 2013 19:29 PDT

Dang it, Naoya, LOL. Ah well, that's life with a baby. Lovely recap of all that's happened this morning, in story time. I'm glad Sango's gotten filled in on everything she missed. Enjoy your mini-vacation! I look forward to the next update, whenever it gets posted. | Reviewed By: SplendentGoddess [MediaMiner Member] On: October 03, 2013 18:27 PDT

Let's hear it for hanyou senses and reflexes, boy. I'd much rather be suddenly yanked up into a tree with no forewarning than trampled by a horny bull, LOL. That was good of Inuyasha, to volunteer to help. Sure, he already knew Daitaro would've probably asked him anyway, but Daitaro wasn't there at the time and seeing the condition Shinjiro's in, Inuyasha knew it wouldn't be right to make him go after the bull. Especially since Shinjiro hurt himself cutting Inuyasha's wood. Not that his injury is Inuyasha's fault in any way, but a favor for a favor seems fair. And maybe Kagome can ask Chime about some of the surviving unidentified herbs in her basket, taking care of her sense of unfinished business from not having gotten to ask Kaede. Whatever happens in the next chapter, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it. :-) | Reviewed By: SplendentGoddess [MediaMiner Member] On: October 01, 2013 15:25 PDT

LOL, I can just see Kagome's face. All the craziness happening all over, everyone leaving, telling her to leave, Kaede went back inside, and she's still standing there, confused, holding her herbs, going "But..." LOL. Give it up, Kagome, and take the extra day off! Shinjiro's mood seems normal, all things considered, but I agree with Daitaro, especially with Inuyasha and Kagome attending the wedding no evil spirits will dare interfere. In a world where bad luck and superstitions are very much real, it definitely comes in handy being friends with the local vanquishers of evil. Good job, as always. Looking forward to the next update, as always. :-) | Reviewed By: SplendentGoddess [MediaMiner Member] On: September 27, 2013 08:54 PDT

Looks like Kagome won't get to ask Kaede about those herbs, after all. Can't say I blame Kaede for wanting to just go back in and shut herself out after all that craziness. At least Kagome's got some things that she knows the identity of for sure, like that wild mustard she can use in her cooking, and the rest of the stuff I guess she can just sort and sit out to dry properly and Kaede should still help her verify their identities later even after they're dried. And I can definitely understand Kagome's frustration with the whole thing, not the herbs but the rest of it, wanting to stop the elders from passing any kind of judgement on Seiji because she's not hurt but not having the ability to stop whatever judgement they might decree regardless of her condition. Maybe they will decide that Inuyasha decking Seiji was good enough, or then again, maybe they won't. Looks like Sukeo's got a lot to think about, too, rolling it around in his head how Inuyasha didn't kill his father when he very easily could have, and how he knows his father wouldn't have shown the same courtesy if their roles had been reversed. And poor Maeme; it's not easy being a woman in that time period where your husband does have the legal right to beat you if he sees fit. That was the way it was in a lot of cultures until laws were finally put into place to protect the women, in some places not even that long ago - and of course in some places there are still no such protective laws and the women are still at the mercies of their husbands, but in Maeme's case, even though her husband is technically within his rights at least the majority of the village can see how utterly unfair that situation is, how she's not truly a disobedient wife who needs discipline (somebody currently living by the river comes to mind, LOL) and so even though they don't have to, the villagers know it's in all of their best interests to lock up Seiji when he gets like this and at least try and spare Maeme the worst of her bruises. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next! :-) | Reviewed By: SplendentGoddess [MediaMiner Member] On: September 24, 2013 16:45 PDT

I think this update went splendidly. Glad to see that everyone had positive reactions to Inuyasha decking Seiji, not that I expected for even a moment that anyone would have had a problem with it, LOL. Good thing their village has a lock-up. I guess you'd have to, even for a community that small. If not, then the very first time somebody decided to be a troublemaker you'd soon realize oh crap, we need to build one, LOL. I would not want to be anywhere near Seiji when he wakes up, but like Susumu said, that's what they get paid for. That was really awesome that they didn't make Inuyasha work 'off the clock' as it were, too. Doesn't matter that he's the super-human with immeasurable strength. It's not his shift, therefore, not his duty at that moment in time to haul the drunkard off to the lock-up. He's an equal in their eyes, not a human ox the villagers can just take advantage of to do their heavy lifting and what have you at the drop of a hat. And I know he doesn't want to get involved, but Seiji did shove his wife, in front of enough witnesses, and more than a husband choosing not to seek retribution for an assault on his wife like that, Kagome is their new village miko, and so therefore the elders have the right to seek retribution themselves because she's a holy member of their community. An attack on her is an attack on everyone, or at least everyone in Tameo's Ko, since she's part of the family. Inuyasha as the husband has the most right, of course, but even still, Tameo will be within his rights to do whatever he sees fit, with Kagome being his Ko and their village miko and such. Not that I imagine what Seiji did is worthy of too much punishment, but I don't know how successful just telling him to stay away from Inuyasha is going to be when we know he's also supposed to stay away from Michio and he strolled right up to their house and caused trouble, completely disregarding the elders' orders. This should be interesting, the progression of trouble that is Seiji, LOL. In the meantime, though, with him currently sleeping it off courtesy of Inuyasha, looks like the next few chapters will probably take us back to the other scenes and other events that are currently happening. Can't wait! :-) | Reviewed By: White Luna(nsi) On: September 23, 2013 19:53 PDT

Go Inuyasha! I'd have clocked him one, too, stupid bastard.

Poor Sukeo, looks like his head is wired with mixed signals. He obviously cares for his mother; instead of his father's harsh treatment of her rubbing off to the point where he also has no respect for his mother, he looks ready to protect her from his father if push literally came to shove. Yet, at the same time, growing up in that kind of an environment is clearly rubbing off on him because of the way he treated and talked to Tazu. I think it comes down to respecting his elders, and Tazu is just some girl who's younger than him, and so in his mind he becomes the older man and therefore has the right to push her around, and she did start it, sort of, by saying those mean - and true - things about his father, so then he felt he had to save face. Honor and all that. But his mother is his mother. So glad to see he cares for her, and deep down, he obviously knows what a serious threat his father really is when he gets like that. It's a good thing Shippou was frantically looking for Tazu, and that Miroku spotted Shippou and went with him. That was one disaster averted, although it looks like there's another disaster already in progress since Seiji is still out there, still pissed (by both the American and British definition), and bound to realize his wife and older son have gone missing sooner or later. Looks like things are about to get interesting again. Can't wait! | Reviewed By: white luna(nsi) On: September 17, 2013 17:57 PDT

Lovely update. LOL, poor Miroku, not getting to go home yet, but at least Shippou feels guilty for abandoning Tazu, even though we all know she's got to be fine. It's good that he cares, though, even if a part of him is only terrified he'll get blamed and punished if something bad did happen to her. Yay for having the Sesshoumaru fly-by scene! I thought you weaved that last bit of canon into your universe just beautifully.

Thank goodness Eiji got to Maeme before she went home. Now hopefully he'll be able to catch the oldest son, too, and give him the same warning to not go home yet. The opening scene with Sesshoumaru and Rin was cute. I knew you'd be getting back around to them. Too many things happening all at once. Looks like we're about to have that fly-by scene near the end of the final chapter, and Rin showing Kaede her new kimono, and then we'll finally be 100% out of the manga and into 100% original creation territory.

Awww...that was sweet. Nice of Kazuo to have Morio think of Nana as his mother. Whether she actually does resemble his mother, or Kazuo just made him think it, that doesn't really matter so long as he obviously won't mind staying there with them and I'm sure Joben is especially thrilled with this latest turn of events, LOL. The WAFFy scene with Inu/Kag at the beginning was sweet, too. I just knew she was going to tease that she didn't have any pickles, for the reason why he wouldn't want to stay a week, LOL. I think for a week along with Kagome, though, Inuyasha might just be willing to put up with a lack of pickles, ;-). Great update, as always. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. :-) | | Pages (21): [ « ‹ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 › » ] |
