Looks like some major drama is about to begin, I cant wait to see
how it unfolds, if kikyo was willing to flirt so much with Kouga
why exactly is she trying to get back with inuyasha, and also why
is she after being with shesh... I hope Inuyashais truly over her
and can flaunt Kagome, its also funny how much of a struggle it is
for him not to have sex with Kagome

Great update! I'm so glad Inuyasha not only told Kagome
about his dad, but about Kikyou, too. But that lingering
vulnerability Kagome has, I have a very bad feeling about that...
Even though I know this Inuyasha is 100% loyal to Kagome,
and when he eventually sees Kikyou he's probably going to crinkle
his nose and tell her to fuck off (especially since the dumb bitch
will smell like Kouga, LOL) if Kagome sees something and
misunderstands, gets the wrong idea... Oh kami, and I just thought
of something. Sesshoumaru's instincts perked up at the smell of
Kouga, against his wishes. What if, because of Inuyasha's dislike
of Kouga, his instincts make him want to protect Kikyou from him?
What if she somehow grasps that nuance and plays it up, cries, says
she's afraid of him? She's a manipulative enough bitch to do it.
There are sooooo many different ways this can go! And what's up
with the baby? Inuyasha says he doesn't know if she had it or not,
so then it was long enough ago that there could be a baby, but
Sesshoumaru's reflection told us their one-night-stand was
five months ago. That was either a slip-up on Inuyasha's part, and
he just meant he didn't know if she was still pregnant or not
(which it doesn't look like she is) or she was pregnant during the
one-night-stand? But she was drinking though... Maybe she already
had the baby? Or more likely, she lost/got rid of it but told
Sesshoumaru. Probably told him a giant lie, like the baby was
Inuyasha's and he kicked her out, and she probably had an abortion
but told him she miscarried. There's a zillion different
possibilities so I'll just wait to see which route you decide to
take. Either way, I know one thing for sure, and that's that
Kikyou's a bitch, LOL. I'm also pretty sure you plan some Inu/Kag
drama of the Kikyou persuasion, but just so long as you give us a
happy ending I'll go along for the ride. Keep up the awesome work!

Good update! I'm glad Inuyasha made a reasonably good first
impression on Mr. Higurashi. Probably even more so since he went to
apologize for the momentary pissing contest during dinner. I don't
think it's all that unusual that Inuyasha hadn't told Kagome about
his father yet, all things considered. It's not like the guy had
passed years ago so it could've been brought up in an 'oh, by the
way' kind of conversation. Besides, Kagome hadn't told Inuyasha
about her father yet, either, so there you go. She can't be mad at
him because that would make her a hypocrite. Now that they're
finally in a good (if sexually frustrating) relationship we don't
need any petty misunderstandings messing things up. What's this
about humble pie? And as Mrs. Higurashi thought, Kagome's no
stranger to a traumatic death. So what, Inuyasha will reveal the
story, a bit bitterly, but then Kagome will tell him about her
father's death in turn, making him feel like an ass for thinking
she wouldn't understand his pain? Just so long as they get it all
out in the open and continue to be in a loving relationship
afterwards. And yes! That was Kikyou! This ought to
be interesting. Just why is she butting into things?
Plotting on how to get Inuyasha back? What makes her think he'd
take her back after he kicked her out before when she showed up
pregnant with another man's baby? And is hooking up with Kouga a
coincidence or does she know Kouga has a connection to Inuyasha and
Kagome? And I guess we know Sesshoumaru was that 'other man'
but does Inuyasha know that? Not that the brothers don't
already pretty much despise each other, anyway. Maybe, if Inuyasha
finds that little tidbit out, he can perhaps look at the broader
picture. Yes, Sesshoumaru was an ass, but if memory serves Kikyou
had already more or less walked out on Inuyasha because he wanted
to be a poor drummer and Kikyou was more in love with money than
with him. It's not like Sesshoumaru stole her away or anything. And
if it hadn't been for him being single, well then he wouldn't have
ended up hooking up with Kagome, who is so much better! So
really, Kikyou being a slut bitch was for the best, since Inuyasha
and Kagome were meant for one another. I am definitely curious
about what she's plotting, though, especially if it has to do with
sleeping with Kouga, LOL. Can't win Inuyasha back by sleeping with
his enemy. But maybe she has something else in mind other than
winning Inuyasha back. And what of the baby? Did she keep it? Oh!
This is getting exciting! Keep up the awesome work!

I have the worlds worst memory, so after reading this chapter I had
to go back and re-read the Sess/Kik phone conversation AND the
description of the fallout between IY and Kikyo near the beginning
of the story. OH. SNAP. So much drama...and it's sort of fresh too,
it seems... Something is about to hit the fan. Probably shit, but
who even knows? I can't wait to find out.

I was just thinking of your story so I checked my email and there
was an update! A great one too. I wonder what has Inuyasha acting
so weird at the end there. If anyone can relate, it sounds like
it's Kagome. I hope they can open up to each other especially about
something as painful as this! My first reaction to you saying
someone will be served some humble pie....is Inuyasha haha. Just
because of how cocky he can get ;) But maybe it could be Kouga?? Or
someone else!? Haha I love this story so much and once again I'm so
thankful that you have chosen to continue writing new chapters!
Even though I'm not sure I caught it the first time around, I am
definitely enjoying it right now. Can't wait to see what happens
next :)

Great update, as always. No worries if real life makes the next few
updates take a little longer than normal. You never finished this
story the first time around? I guess that explains why I couldn't
remember how it ends, then, LOL. I could've sworn it was finished,
or at least further advanced. I thought I remembered the mystery
woman would turn out to be Kikyou, like once upon a time she'd left
Inuyasha to be with Sesshoumaru until he too wanted nothing to do
with her, and also that there was some kind of scandal involved
with Inuyasha's father's death, like it wasn't just an accident
like everyone thinks and he was actually murdered by Naraku in some
bad guy fashion or another. I guess I must have been mixing story
plots if this is as far as this story ever progressed. I have
absolutely no concept of a headcount of just HOW many Inuyasha fics
I've actually read throughout the years, but boy howdy, is it up
there, LOL. Well good then. Then I'm totally looking forward to
finding out if that's Kikyou or Kagura (two most logical choices,
anyway) and even more importantly, what happens with Kouga from
here on out. That guy STILL isn't out of the picture. He might
finally accept that Kagome doesn't want him, but that doesn't mean
he's prepared to give Kagome up, and he might just shift into an
'if I can't have her, neither can he' mode of thinking because he's
definitely not just going to let Inuyasha win. At least it
looks like things are thankfully worked out between Inuyasha and
Kagome and so their relationship, sans Kouga-related interruptions,
can continue to progress at a healthy rate. Update as soon as
you're able. I'm super looking forward to it!

Aw dang Inuyasha got a little roughed up didn't he? I agree with
what another reviewer said though, it was probably best to happen
that way so that Kouga could see Kagome's reaction to seeing
Inuyasha like that. Now he can really see Kagome's feelings towards
Inuyasha though I know he isn't giving up anytime soon. Had Kagome
showed up and Inu was beating the crap out of Kouga....well sadly I
think a part of Kagome would have been somewhat pissed at Inuyasha
since she was currently being brainwashed by Kouga's manipulative
ways. So even though I hate to see Inuyasha get hurt like that, I
think the way this chapter unfolded was for the best. Now that
Inuyasha knows about what really happened on that fateful Sunday
talk, I hope Kagome and him can get everything straightened out! I
was majorly stressing out about all that confusion and secrecy that
was in the air!! Haha thanks for the update, can't wait until next
week!!!

So, I'm glad Inuyasha shares my sentiment about Kouga being an
asswipe. Lol. I really wanted IY to beat him to a pulp, but it kind
of seems like things worked out in Inuyasha's favor. Since Kagome
showed up and saw that Kouga isn't so harmless afterall. It just
put another nail in his already sealed coffin. Also, Sango's dad
seriously needs to get laid or something. Dang, get a life dude...

Great update, as always. I remembered a little bit more about this
chapter in advance as I started reading it than the others, but it
was no less entertaining. I knew Sango was going to sneak out of
her bedroom and that Miroku was right there waiting for her. I'd
forgotten they all met up in time to witness the fight until
Sango's call to Kagome, but then that part came rushing back. I
can't really remember exactly what's going to happen next, but I
bet once the shock wears off Kagome will be none too pleased to
realize Inuyasha had deliberately kept part of Kouga's text message
a secret from her, and that the entire thing, her at his apartment,
had been orchestrated so that he could go meet Kouga. In Inuyasha's
defense, though, he didn't know at that time that Kouga had
mind-fucked Kagome and that she thought they weren't 100% broken up
yet. He'd thought Kagome had completely broken up with Kouga, and
Kouga was just being a stalker now. I can't really say I blame
Inuyasha one bit. Looking forward to seeing how everything unfolds!
Keep up the awesome work!

Haha I knew that couldn't really be Kagome talking to Inuyasha that
way! Drunk or not, she was being way bolder than someone with
almost no sexual experience haha. Or maybe I'm wrong but either way
it was kinda funny seeing Inuyasha suffer from one of those types
of dreams ;) He tries to act smooth and smug at times but I like
how Kagome is kind of making him act like a boy in his first
relationship all over again. It's totally adorable! I'm not sure
how the upcoming confrontation with Kouga is going to go but I'm
sure it won't be pretty! Can't wait to read it!!

You're right, of course. We do need to remember that Kagome's a
little messed up when it comes to perceiving relationships. I wish
I could remember what happens when Inuyasha confronts Kouga!
Trying to think about this story and remember what happens next, or
how it ends, I'm really drawing a blank, but then reading each
chapter as they come there's little bits of 'oh yeah!' here and
there that I recognize. I can't even remember how many chapters
this story was, but I will gladly, and eagerly, read each and every
one of them as they get reposted. This story is awesome!

Gah! I can't remember how he reacts, damn it! Stupid brain, stupid
bad recall powers for a wonderful story I read several years ago.
Logic would dictate that since Inuyasha doesn't use logic,
he'll flip the fuck out. But Kagome should be able to explain it
away fairly easily. Note the previous text about meeting for
dinner, and note the lack of reply to said text. She had
been planning on completely ignoring him, and obviously had no idea
Kouga was going to be sending this new, additional text. Plus
there's the very simple, honest truth of the fact that Inuyasha
just went way further with Kagome than Kouga
ever did. But...unfortunately...knowing Kagome, she won't
use logic either, and realize how imperative it is to smooth over
this misunderstanding, and instead she'll get super angry that he
was looking through her phone, which will just make her look guilty
and make him more suspicious. "What's this text from Kouga?!" "What
are you doing going through my phone?!" Not the best response,
Kagome, but I bet that's what she'll say, *smacks forehead*. Or
maybe Inuyasha doesn't blow up at her, and he'll just storm away,
totally pissed off, leaving a confused Kagome to wonder WTF until
she realizes he must have seen the text, if he leaves her phone on
the floor as he storms out of the room. I wish I could remember!
But I do remember that ultimately, we'll have a happy
Inu/Kag ending, so I can ride the roller coaster until then. One
thing is for sure, as out of place as Sango was regarding Kagome
being with Inuyasha in and of itself, she was actually right about
Kagome needing to settle things with Kouga. She didn't necessarily
need to settle them before she started officially dating Inuyasha,
so I'm glad Kagome didn't make the poor hanyou wait any longer, but
she does need to settle things with Kouga. If it were me,
though, I'd do it by text at that point. She already braved the
honorable face-to-face. I'd reply to the text with "What part of
we're through don't you understand?" or something. Maybe less rude.
But I'd reiterate, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to see you anymore"
or whatever. Le sigh. Kouga's not done being a thorn in their sides
yet. And if memory serves at all, then I'm pretty sure I
know who that girl was that called Sesshoumaru. Drama all around!
Yay! LOL

Great update, and great accompanying picture, too. I can understand
where Sango's coming from in regard to Kouga needing to be set
straight for fear the wolf might do something stupid if he thinks
Kagome still belongs to him, but I definitely don't consider Kagome
and Inuyasha to be moving too quickly, considering how drawn
towards each other they've been since what seems like forever
already. Sango thinks things with Inuyasha won't work out if they
rush things, but the poor hanyou's been getting put off over and
over again, Kagome having already previously rejected him more than
once, so she had finally said yes, after officially breaking
up with Kouga, she could date him. The last thing she should have
done was put Inuyasha off even longer, or that just might
(in theory) have ruined things between her and the hanyou, if he
finally gave up on her (although I really don't think he would've,
but it would've been unfair of her to do that to him all the same).
And yeah, Kagome still feels a little guilty, but only from
thinking she hurt Kouga's feelings, since she doesn't realize he
was just screwing with her, and also knowing that Kouga thinks
they're still together, but she did break up with him,
regardless, and while she's allowed to feel guilty for hurting her
ex-boyfriend's feelings she is free and clear to start
dating Inuyasha now. I can't really remember what's going to
happen, although I know we haven't seen the last of Kouga. I'm
definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next!

I'm still with Miroku! Haha I think Sango is making it seem more of
Kagome's responsibility to clear things up with Kouga when I feel
like it's more his deal that he didn't accept what Kagome was
telling him. I get that deep down the whole concept of what Sango
is saying, is that Kagome will continue to feel guilty unless she
clarifies some things....but I don't think Sango is aware how
dangerous it probably will be for Kagome to talk to him EVER AGAIN.
He's got something planned I feel...and it won't be good.But yay

And reading your updates always brings a smile to my face.
I'd also forgotten that Sango became suspicious of Inuyasha's true
feelings and intentions. I suppose I can understand her
uncertainty, from her point of view, all things considered. Of
course, we all know Inuyasha would never hurt Kagome, physically or
emotionally. I guess, unless you count the stress him admitting his
feelings to her put her under, but while her desire to be with
Inuyasha was a catalyst in her finally deciding to break up
with Kouga, the reality of the situation is she should have broken
up with the wolf long ago. Like...after their second or third date
two years ago, when she first realized they just weren't clicking.
Inuyasha also needs to admit that he knows about Hojo, although
Kagome already suspects he might. It was respectful of him, at
first, to not bring it up, but now he should let her know that he
does understand her mental turmoil. Of course, I'm sure I remember
she finds out that he knows eventually, but I can't remember how or
when. There are so many smaller details of this story that I can't
really recall fully, so I'm thoroughly enjoying rereading it. It's
like watching a movie I've only seen once, and several years ago,
where I can't really remember it all but I do remember that I loved
it. I still love it!
