A Brief 'Review'

Interesting so far, but a few things really irk me.

1. Inuyasha didn't really seem worried or affected much by Kagome's
injury till a while after it happened.

2. Inuyasha is way to 'nice' in this story. No snide remarks, no
'Keh's, no rudeness... It's just wierd.

On top of that, he decides to take to shippo to a spot outside the
village that his mother used to take him to(even though that's impossible
because his mother didn't live anywhere near that village) willingly and
then gets all sensitive and caring with him.

Usually the extent of Inuyasha and Shippo's interactions with eachother
consists of screaming, chasing and pounding. Not Watching the sunrise,
cuddling and sleeping in trees. Seriously, that is the most
un-Inuyasha-like behaviour I can imagine. What took the cake though, was when they
woke up and Inuyasha 'cooed' something to shippo... WTF, that just
freaked me out.

Ok, besides the fact this that made me very and utterly furiuos, here is a note to future readers that I think I should post in every fanfiction for now on. If you find something that completely 'irks' you (which was so clearly stated by this reviewer, and I'm going to have the decency not to state your name.) don't read the story. Noone forces you to read it, as soon as it 'irked' you, or completely made you say 'WTF' , you should have hit the Back button on your taskbar, and found another story.

This is my story. I made it the way I wanted to, and nothing is going to stop me from making it the way I want to. I really don't mean to sound mean, and I mean I understand that there will be flames, but the fact that he didn't read another chapter, try to understand the reasons for the change in InuYasha's attitude and overall appearance, makes me want to rip my stories of the internet and go in my room. This is, yes, my first flame, and I have to say this is by far the dumbest reason for someone to critisize my story just because of a simple change of character. Let me make a few things clear for him, if he ever stumbles across this update, (and I hope he does) and I hope that I don't offend him, even though the inner part of me wants to, so I am going to try to do this with God on my mind.

1. Kagome was injured. People act different when they are 'scared' or frightened. In this case, InuYasha was afraid he was going to lose Kagome. It might take more of a toll on Shippou, rather than himself, even though it would make a scar deep in his soul that would never heal. His main purpose, in the sweet act that you rarely ever read, was trying to show Shippou that they would get through this together

What would you have me do? Let Kagome die and InuYasha acted like nothing happened? I would have to say, that would be completely uncharacteristic for the hanyou, even by my standards.

2. Like I have so simply stated, InuYasha is different because he realizes there is no reason for him to be all gruff, and 'cold' like he tends to be. Where this story takes off, they both realize that they love one another. But admitting it is another thing. One more thing, that I have stated which you might have completely ignored. Maybe if you would have went a little further in the story, gave it a chance, you would have realized that there was times when he was completely rude and obnoxious like he used to be. But in my thoughts, with a time when she was so close from being taken away from him, why would he return to his former self? It doesn't make sense, and personally, I made it like that because I think it would be interesting to see a changei n our favorite hanyou.

Once again, everything in life isn't normal. I don't know if things in life is like that for you, but you need to open your eyes. To be twelve years old and to understand everything in life comes with a price, and that nothing is free, maybe you just need to grow up. I don't mean to sound rude, but my 6 year old nephew would have had enough sense to skim along the story a little bit more before he flamed me. It doesn't make sense to make a mystery in one part of the chapter, and then clear it up in the same chapter. It doesn't leave any suspense, no temptation, and basically you would have a really boring story. I don't know if you like stories like that, but you won't find me writing one like that. Sorry.

3. And about that impossible thing with his mother taking him to the outskirts of the village . . . haven't you ever had walks with your mother that take you far away from home, and then return just before dusk? I have, and to tell you, I loved the experience. So basically, it is possible. Just because she didn' t live anywhere near there doesn't mean it wasn't possible. And another thing . . . in InuYasha's era, horses were alive. Have you ever heard of drawing conclusions? It isn't that hard. She could have taken a horse, tied it up near the pond, and walked the rest of the way. Enough said.

I don't mean to sound rude , or immature, and I'm sorry if I am overeacting since this is my first flame. But the message, is to have patience. Just because something is a mystery at one period of time doesn't mean that it won't clear up. I mean . . . people. Common sense would have told you go on to the next chapter to figure out the mystery. But, let my stop raving on, and I have another thing I would like to clear up.

Those who have added my story to their auther alerts, this will go to their inboxes, whether they signed up for Covetousness or Covetousness 2 : Discoveries,will get this message, and that's why I didn't postit inCovetousness, because I think it doesn't make sense, sense it was review for what, the third chapter? So I just decided to make sure everyone got it, just in case they didn't understand my writing strategy. Thank you for your time. And for the meantime, I never block a user from reviewer, no matter what they say. So any comments, please be free to email me.
