Again, I am back. Yes, I know, it's been almost 4 months now, but look at it this way, I have TWO more chapters ready. This time, the delay was more from paranoia than anything else. These chapters are going into highly untouched grounds concerning my writing talent. Up to seven different personalities, two different areas, and actual action occurring. I've finally found something of a direction to go in concerning the plot, and I have several spawn-off stories that will come from this story, but I'm not even going to start on those. All this from what was originally going to be a four-five chapter quick-fic. Wow. Expect yet another delay as I not only experience the horror of real-life, revamping the website using new software, AND me attempting to design a game. Don't ask, I'll be explaining it as soon as I have the new website up, whenever that is. Anyways, I have the wonderful feeling that I'm going off to places that have never been thought of before in any Inuyasha Fanfic, EVER. Trust me, once I get this stuff written down and posted, you'll be stunned, or at least amazed. Enjoy.

I'M SO SORRY! I know that I took an insane amount of time to update, and because I fear the power of angry reader's, I'm going to tell you why it took so long. For one thing, the holidays came. Whenever a Christmas vacation comes along, I become a lazy, do-nothing slob. Never a pretty sight. Two, Going back to school was a tad bit chaotic, due to the fact that my schedule changed massively, and I had to work time in to write all over again. And Three, I had a massive case of writer's block. But it was worth it, for now I can present you Chapter 8. Three weeks of hitting my head on the desk, desperately trying to think of what direction to go in, when I came upon an Insane, and quite possibly never before done idea. And while I won't say anything about the future, I will say that in the end, Inuyasha will find someone that loves him for what he is, the poor tortured soulJ. And I apologize in advance for the giant cliffhanger at the end, but I need another week or few to put together the next chapter, and I wanted to give you guys something for your patience, so her you go. Enjoy!

I don't have much time to type this, so this is going to be a very simple update. First off, I'm back! And with me I bring chapter 7, a website, and the first chapter of my Original Story titled Of The Light And The Darkness, Exclusive on my website. If you like Inuyasha, you just might like my story to. To get to my website, look at the top of this page, and look for my author name, which is JustAnotherPerson. Click on it, and you'll be taken to my personal page. Somewhere near the top, under the topic homepage, there'll be a link to my website. Click it, and away you go. It's not fully up, so you'll have to wait for some of the special features, if you would, to be put up. Anyways, until next time.

I haven't revealed any secrets, but love is definitely in the air in Chapter 6. Inuyasha make's the biggest blunder ever, and Sesshoumaru finally gives in to his feelings. This took awhile due to there being almost 3000 words in this chapter. For me, that's a lot to type! I hope you enjoy this, cause I've got good/bad news. I've thought of an ORIGINAL story idea that uses NO Inuyasha characters. However, because of the fact that I will have to work out all of the past and personalities of the characters involved, I'm going to have to divert my creative juices away from FH and redirect it towards this new piece. And much to my own regret, I can't concentrate on two entirely different types of stories, because I'm brainstorming on a daily basis, and my brain has crappy multi-tasking abilities, and an even worse memory. This is the main reason I've put so much effort into this chapter, that way I can wok on the other thing without regret.
Also, while I'm working on this other story, I'll be putting a website tighter for my works. It will be pretty bare-boned, with almost no images or advanced, fancy nav-bars and the such. This is due to the fact that I have almost NO experience in creating a website, but I'll be using the same web space as my father's website, and he's pretty much forbidden Any images I can find elsewhere, which means I can't put screenshots of the anime on it. However, it does mean I can put up fan-art and the such, which means that is any talented artist REALLY want to, they could break out those pens and pencils, and whip up a fan art or two for me to post. I'll also put up fanfics that I think are really good. I'm sure some of you are saying "Why are you using your father's web space when they'res all the free places. Well my dad pays for his web space, which means no ads and no screens popping up that won't let you in because of bandwidth limits. So, happy joy for me and you. And as a bonus, once I get this site up, I'll put up the main character notes for my new story. Aren't I a nice guy?
Anyways, take a peek at my Author Profile every now and then to see if I've put up the Website address yet. And don't worry. Once I write the prolouge and first chapter of the new story, I'll put a little something together for the next chapter. Ta-Ta.

I'm back! I this chapter, Decisions are made, Secrets are revealed, and things are alluded to. What did the healer find? Why is Sesshoumaru feeling the way he is? Will Inuyasha ever get it through his head that Kagome is NOT Kikyo? These questions will be answered in the 6th chapter, which isn't this one. But don't worry; the next chapter should come faster. I think. I had a small bout of writers block while working on this chapter, so there's why this took so long. Anyways, does anyone think these chapters are too short? I've seen some authors who put 500 words per chapter, and others who put out 5000 word chapters. I generally average at about 1000 to 2000 words per chapter. Am I doing OK?
Anyways, I think you'll all enjoy his chapter so make sure you read it. Also, my fic will be on a Sesshoumaru shrine soon (I think). The link is in the reviews for my story, so take a peek in there. I'd put it here, but I'm writing this on a pc without an Internet connection, so I can't get on and look. Oh well. See ya'll later.

Hello everyone! I've finished the 4th chapter for your reading pleasure. I've gone through it quickly for the blaring grammar and spelling errors, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some mistakes. Oh well, I'll do a better check later.
I've decided to put a Mailing list together for people who want an e-mail when I update any of my stories. If you want to be a part of this list, leave your e-mail address in your review, or send me an e-mail.
I'd also like to say that some of you might think this romance is blossoming a bit to quickly. Well, I'll admit, it is occurring a bit quicker than one would think, and I'll admit, I have realized it is happening a bit quickly. But I've decided to work that into the story, so that' that.
And another thing about this story, this is going to go down a different path concerning Inuyasha. All I'll say is that something very dark and angsty is going to happen to him, an he will get to fall in love with someone. I won't say whom, but because this is way the hell in the future, heck, probably in it's own story, a sequel perhaps, I'll give you an initial. I/R. That's all. No begging, no torture will make me reveal who it is. If you want to make some guesses in your review/e-mail, go ahead, I don't mind. But I still won't tell you.
Anyways, I got stuff to do, so I hope you all like this. One last thing before I go… (Tears begin to well up in the author's eyes) I got almost 9 reviews for my last chapter! Such Joy I feel! PLEASE REVIEW MORE! I love reviews! I'm done. Gotta go.

Wow! I must have had a brain storm or something, cause I've just finished the 3rd chapter! I now place it here on the web for your viewing pleasure. I'm busy at this time, so this update rant will be short. I'd like to point out that I didn't get a single review for chapter 2. This makes me feel sad. I know that some people have read it, but I'm to cheap to pay for the support services, which shows me how many people have read my story, so I have to depend on my reviews to know if anyone actually reads my stuff. I don't want to pressure anyone, but I would really like to know if anyone actually likes this story, so please review and tell me how I'm doing. Thanks everyone who has read this, even if you didn't review. I hope you enjoyed reading this.

I'm back! I've finished the 2nd chapter, so it should be up for your viewing. I'd like to say that this is shorter than I would like it to be, but I'm running out of ideas for this chapter, so this will have to do for now. I going to point out that the romance between Kagome and Sesshoumaru is probably going to occur than what would realistically happen, but this is going ot be something of a test to see if I can write a good romance fic period. Please review, cause I want to know if I'm doing a good job so far. I'm sure some of you can guess what will happen in the next chapter, and some of you will, I hope, will be surprised.
The next chapter will be the catalysts, if you would, for the romance, so the next few chapters will be a bit fluffy. I'd also like to say that while some parts might be a bit risqué, and even perhaps hint at certain things in this story, I'm NOT going to write a lemon for this story, or any story anytime soon, not only because I'd probably mess up something awful, but my mother would hang me by my toes if she found out. I'm only 16, so I still have to follow her rules.
Any who, I just would like to thank all of those who have reviewed any of my stories, they've definitely been encouragement. I'm away form the Internet at this moment, so I can't remember any specific names, so just thanks everyone. I hope I can continue to entertain you all. I going to try to make the next few chapters bigger, so expect a bit of a longer wait. Till next time.

Hello everyone, JustAnotherPerson here! I have finished and posted the first chapter of this fic for everyone's reading pleasure. I would have finished this faster, but something else had my mind for the past few days. I got Kingdom Hearts for the PS2 on Thursday, and all I can say is WOW!
For those who know what I'm talking about, you might think that since Disney characters are in this, that this game would have a really sappy and Disneyish story plot to it. WRONG! Squaresoft definitely had a strong hand in writing the story for this one, because it has the story feel of a Final Fantasy game. If you have a PS2, You definitely need to buy this, whether or not you've played Final Fantasy games or watch Disney movies. This game just plain KICKS ASS!
Now for those who don't care about KH, I'm here to let you know that some of you are going to be screaming bloody murder over the first chapter due to several generally off the beaten path ideas, so I'm gonna defend myself while trying to spoil as little as possible about the this and the upcoming chapters. One, It's a Fanfic. What's the fun in reading a hundred stories about the exact same thing, just occurring in different ways? I don't mean to insult anyone, cause I do like quite a few of the Inuyasha/Kagome stories out there, but after a while it gets… boring. It's for this reason that most of my stories will likely be Kagome/Sesshoumaru or even Kagome/Kouga. Heck, if you think this one's odd, you should look at the other fic I have out here on FF.Net (A note to those who want more of "Powers", I've found a name for the femme Sess-chan, and since I've finished this chapter, I'll start to work on a new chapter for "Powers" now.) Inuyasha/Kagome fics are good, but it's interesting to see how the path might diverge from the obvious.
Some of you might be wondering why I don't have song lyrics at the top's of these chapters like I do in "Powers". Well the thing is, this story is a bit soft. And, well, I don't listen to that much soft music, and the soft stuff I do listen to, it's a bit odd. Oh all right, I'm one of those Staind/Tool/Papa Roach people who like the sound of pounding drums, screaming guitars, and angst voices that scream misery and rage. Te only soft music I listen to is R.E.M., and their stuff is a bit on the nonsense side. So, if anyone has any ideas, mention it and I'll happily look into it. All right, enough talking, read my chapter. And make sure you guys review, it really makes my day to find out that someone besides myself likes this stuff. I almost started crying in joy when I got my first review. :Author Smiles: Enjoy!

Hello All! JustAnotherPerson with a new fic here. It's going to be a Kagome/Sesshoumaru pairing, so if you don't like this, than go away. If you do, I hope you enjoy! This might go a bit slow since I'm new to this whole writing thing, so have patience. Right now, the only thing available I the rather meager Prolouge, but that will change in time. And also, to address those who will say Kagome is acting out of character, perhaps she is a bit. But I personally think what she's getting ready to do seems a bit more human than just sitting by. You'll understand what I'm saying after the first chapter, but I wanted to put this out there, Kagome will be acting a bit out of character. I think. I haven't even finished the First Chapter, so maybe that will change. Anyways, this will be an interesting fiction, so please read it as I psot it.
I'm sure some of you are wondering why I'm writing this instead of my other fic, Powers Of The Unknown Past. Well, I was sitting here at my PC, and I realized something. I had taken on one hell of a big project. I've never written something before, and here I was trying to write a fiction, that not only has an original character, but I was also trying to create a complex relationship AND trying to change how the story will end AND changing the gender of an already complex character when I don't even fully know what his name means. To sum it all up in one word: UG! So, I'm taking a break. I'll still write it, and when I have a breakthrough, I'll fire away at it. It'll be finished, but not as quickly as I thought.
So, in the end, I'm happy, you're happy, we're all happy. Maybe we'll get lucky, and I'll actually finish something that I start. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I enjoy writing them.
Regards,
JustAnotherPerson AKA Ryan Wilson
