How come it's already mid-November? I'm lighting tea lights out in my lanterns like maniac every evening. Once again thank you for all your fabulous reviews. You make us grin, blush and dance with joy. Aaaand muses keep plotting… both this and our other stories.

Sorry for the longest wait. It seems that our world stops when kids are sick.

Subject: I'm shocked

Mr Sesshoumaru,

Just how much sake had you consumed before writing to me?

I apologize for my hasty judgement over your part of Jiji's gift. My only excuse is my worry over Shippo, who could have been seriously hurt, had Jiji even tried throwing his new sutra at my son. I made sure he knows this as well.

And I'm sure you're happy to hear that Miroku got his just deserts served by Sango. Touran sure tried to fight, but was wise enough to step aside when Sango heard what had happened. I wish I had taken my camera with me that day. Sango made sure to punctuate her words with Hiraikotsu. And I mean each and every word.

A word of advice though. Please refrain involving Miroku to your schemes for the next six or so months. A pregnant taijia is NOT something you would want to anger. She's also the reason for my late answer. Sango decided that after all that, she needed peace and quiet away from Miroku and dragged me to a two weeks long, and I quote, "vacation from the obnoxious and disastrous pieces of creation that is known as males".

As for your problem with Inuyasha. Have you checked the account where Toga-sama used to send his allowances? Last time I checked his financial stuff for him, I noticed that it had been emptied and all transactions moved elsewhere, but it was still there. And also check his office computer. I assume he didn't drag that one with him? There's a file named MyEyesOnly and the password is Yasharul3s. I doubt he changed that before his rather hasty move, hmm?

Speaking of your absent brother, in hindsight it doesn't amaze me at all that I had not met your mother before. Since most of my interaction was with Toga and Izayoi, and while we were required to participate some social gatherings, your brother's behaviour often isolated us from the guests. If Mizuki-sama took part any of those, I doubt she would have willingly socialized with him.

And I would appreciate if you'd lay down your attempts of joking. If I had even an inkling of any markings on me, I wouldn't have been so shocked of them. At least Mizuki-sama had patience to actually explain the pack-bond and how it marks the members. And while I'm a bit unnerved of still not knowing what they look like or where they really are, I'm relieved it's not something Inuyasha did by himself.

I'm starting to think you ought to seriously write that manual for being part of the pack. There are too many of these little nuances and secrets kept from me. And I'm sure any future humans in the pack would appreciate it too. While you say our instincts will keep us from making too many mistakes, it obviously does not apply to us humans all that well.

Oh, I got a postcard from Jakotsu. It was rather short but apparently someone has emptied all nearby stores of Ramen, making someone else quite miserable. And rest was filled with gushing about puppy dog-ears.

I'm not sure why you would complain about having to visit Yura? Personally I think the new look fits you. Mizuki-sama was proudly showing the photo of you and Rin after the haircut. She looks very cute as well. And at least you didn't need to try dozens of outfits.

Sincerely,

Kagome

P.S. Thank you for the new books you sent for Mama and Jiji. I'd ask how you knew Mama loves poems, but I guess that would be waste of space.

P.P.S On that note… Should I perhaps sue my doctor for allowing strangers to my medical files? Since there has not been any emergencies allowing you or your father an access to them. You couldn't have gained your knowledge of my birthmark elsewhere, for various reasons.

A/N: Please read and review. Feedback is our fuel to write. Let's get those muses back on the road. Thanks so much!
