Well, gomen nasai once more…I thought that I would update last night, but Fate had other plans for me: we were busier than we've ever been (literally), and I didn't get to stop moving from 4 to 8, and I got off at 9…sorry if I sound like I'm b*tch*ng, but oh well—there's the reason I didn't update last night (at least I didn't leave you with a cliffhanger! ^_^); and as for tonight, I spent all my creative energies thinking up ideas for later…I have the idea for the next chapter, I just can't write it out tonight…L

            Youkai Chick Supreme: Yes, this happened before the Naraku encounter, but still—it just seems like Fate (aka me in this story…) has set Inuyasha to lose everything he has by the hands of Onigumo/Naraku, plus I just wanted to write my own version of what happened to Inuyasha's mom. On another note: I don't like Kikyo, but I don't hate her; if I had to choose one, I'd say hating her, though. I had her die because then Inuyasha could be free to be with Kagome.

            Eartha: Yes, I did kind of mess up; but that could technically work: note how I said he was a child when Inuyasha lived in the village, 65 years ago. That would make him about 70; his daughter could be around 20, so that would make him 50 when he had a kid—not likely, but yeah…in hind sight, it would've worked better if he'd been her grandfather ^_^0.

            Kenkaya: Yeah, Nitrous Oxide sucks badly…just as badly as waiting 3 years for Harry Potter V _. But yeah: I don't feel pressured, because I know I do this of my own free will, just I don't like not doing it because it's fun to me, so thanks for the support ^_^.

            Lady Yami: Y35, I4MI\I I-I I I\/I 2 I-I3I_I_ (sorry for all of those who can't read l33t ^_^)

            Sylver-Ajah: I've been a little curious as to how I would write one too…oh well, I'll get my chance to soon ^_^.

            Piukka: I know how that is…my mom thought I was insane when I was watching the episode where Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru fight Naraku, and I went, "Use the G*DD*MN BAKURYUUHA!".

            Drag-On10101: All I can say is 'Thank you so much' for lack of a better way to express myself for your review…and don't say my writing ability's better than yours, I've just had more practice: if you've got the gift of writing, all you need to do is work at it to make it better, it's just like everything else.

            SaiyajinEmpress: As I've said before, all I can say is thank you (damn the English language for not having a better way to express gratitude!)…well, I'll try to sum it up in Japanese: Boku no hontou no orei ni itadakimasen ka? (Literal: Will you not accept my true/real thanks? Loosely: Will you accept my heartfelt thanks?)

            The above two reviews made my day yesterday ^_^, and thank you very much for submitting them…except I have a question: what, exactly, is Iridescent Dreams? I found a website, but I'm not sure that was it…it didn't say anything about Kagome/Inuyasha fictions…

            Well, that's all for tonight…I will most likely be updating tomorrow night, I promise to try my best. Sorry, but hey, like I said: at least I didn't leave you guys with a cliffhanger ^_^.
