Dark: Hi everyone. I'm sorry for not updating… again. But I've been really torn apart. My dear, dear friend had recently confessed his feelings for me and to my utter despair – I didn't like him in that way. (Scoffs) I felt so terrible – he's a sweet guy, he truly is. He's one of those guys that have a certain boyish charm about them – a knight in shining armor. Unfortunately for both my conscience and his feelings (the latter being more important) I vowed not to date until university second year, AND I don't go for the 'hero, nice, perfect' guys. (I'm for a Sesshomaru type (grins))
Kagome: She's not making this up this time. It really happened. You should have seen how she was half aware of her finals!
Dark: Like Kags said, I also had my finals. Anyways, I hope you guys will forgive me and next time I update I'll try making the chapter longer and update faster! Besides it's summer vacation now so I'll have more time to spare!
Dedication: Saphire Dragon for writing many interesting reviews. Also moonie9999 for reviewing the story that desperately needs reviews Dark Angel.
IMPORTANT! Please… I'm begging you to review Dark Angel – it's a beautiful tale created by spice of inu-yasha (a tale I adopted) PLEASE! I'll even make these chapters longer for you guys!
Disclaimer: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who owns Inuyasha, Legolas and them all?
(Mirror) Ack! Bring me back to the witch who wanted to kill Snow White! At least she doesn't rig me to say 'you'!
(Me) (grins innocently at the camera while muffling the protests of mirror) Oh never mind him go on and watch the movie! (In background you can hear crashing and shattering of glass)
(Mirror) It'll… never… be… you… (chokes and dies)
(Me) (Pouts) I don't own Inuyasha, Yu yu hakusho, or Lord of the Rings… yet… (evil laugh)
Dark: Enjoy! This time I took the time to edit and read it over. (Grins) (Pushes button to start movie)

"My feet hurt!"
Hmm… he was a second off. Somewhat irritated at the complaints thrown his way, Sesshomaru would have gritted his teeth together if it weren't so 'unSesshomaru' of him to do so.
If he had been anyone else I'd stake my entire allowance (ignoring the fact that all my money was in the other world) that he would have sighed in despair.
I wobbled on my aching feet before at long last deciding enough was enough and plopped down on a smooth rock in defiance. Cuddling my newly found fox to my chest I stuck my tongue out at the back of western lord, thinking to myself he would never know. Boy I was stupid…
He whirled around, giving me the evil eye. I shuttered. No one, not even the aloof Sesshomaru himself could stand down his glare of hatred.
I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise and I nodded in agreement… Sesshomaru sure was a scary fellow…
I frowned, thinking of the cowering hobbits behind me and brooded. Some friends they were. Of course, I supposed, had I been in their shoes I would have most probably fainted in horror. Demons weren't really something most people would want to believe in, much less want to meet. But seeing as I was somehow turned from a perfectly content human to a demonic girl with a whirlwind of a life, I doubt I'll ever be stunned again.
In fact, being as exhausted as I was with all the excitement I let myself nod off, and who could blame me with both the comfort of Sesshomaru's fluffy cloud and the adorable fox (who reminded me of Shippo) being guilty of lulling me to sleep.
But I was wrong. It seemed being surprised wasn't through with me yet because all I knew was, one moment I was gently floating into a beautiful dream world when all of a sudden the blinding yet breathtaking light was gone and in it's stead was a forest. A very familiar forest…
"The God tree?"
Slowly I traced the lines of the familiar rough bark unsure of how to take the unexpected turn of events. I just couldn't figure out why I conjured up an image of Inuyasha's forest. I observed the beautiful tree.
"Kagome…?"
God no… I prayed and I prayed but still I knew it was useless. Dread filled my every organ. Then I made the biggest mistake of my life, I turned around.
Out of the blue, my mouth felt like the Sahara desert and my legs failed to hold me up.
"Inu- Inuyasha." I said hoarsely, trying, without achievement, to get as far away from him as possible.
It hurt him. I couldn't believe the emotion that fleeted across his gorgeous amber eyes. I just couldn't believe he was capable of pain after what he made me go through. But there was no denying the wounded look in his face.
He appeared so lost. I hesitated but placed one foot in front of the other and before I realized it, I was cradling his shaking figure to my torso whispering soft nothings into his ear.
"Just let it out Inuyasha, cry… you'll feel better."
Within minutes my dream shirt was soaked and I was cradling my love's head murmuring silently as I stroked his silver hair in what I hoped to be a comforting way.
"Kagome… I miss you." He told me and wiped away his tears.
I stared at him, slack jawed and taken aback. (I could have sworn nothing would ever get me to be surprised again…) Slightly touched at his confession I smiled. But that didn't last long.
Shock radiated from my face as he brought me into his arms and gave me a reassuring squeeze. "Come back to me." He mumbled. Flabbergast and stunned I barely realized my inability to breathe. I tensed awkwardly. He was holding me too tightly!
"In-u-y-ash-a!" I wheezed in an alarm. He made no motion to prove he heard me, only drove his claws into my arms causing me to flinch. Struggling to get away from him my terror bloomed in my chest as my vision started to fade and my breaths turned to shallow puffs of air.
"Le-let go! You- you're h-hurting me!" I managed to get out.
"No."
"W-what?"
"I'll never let you go again, Kik-"
"No!" I forced him away from me with a quick blast of blue light. Pain shot like an arrow through my heart and I looked sadly upon the fallen figure. "I'm not Kikyou."
And I walked past the darkness into the light with a final whisper. "I'll never be Kikyou."
Groaning, I placed my hand on the ground to support myself up. Almost immediately I cupped a hand to my shoulder. Wincing from the contact, I eased off the red stained t-shirt far enough to see my aching shoulder.
I sighed. Of course. How did I forget that whatever happened in the dreams happened in reality? I hissed as I bound a ripped piece of my shirt to it, trying to keep it from bleeding. The thought that it would heal quickly didn't even cross my mind because I knew that my dreams twisted the laws of physics.
A small lick to my face made me look down and grin. "Thanks Youko." I said, stroking his fur. He purred and leaned into my touch. I frowned. Sometimes I got the feeling this little fox was more than what he seemed. As though hearing my thoughts, Youko's bright gold eyes blinked and met my own. Out of the blue I had a flash of an image of the demon Youko, the one I named the fox after… with the same beautiful shade of sliver locks, and the same closely guarded… golden gaze.
I shook my head – it couldn't be. Could it? A feeling of dread engulfed me as a harsh whisper crossed my traitorous mind. What normal fox is colored silver…? Immediately I flung the fox away from me, hating how I didn't notice before. Of course guilt crept up on me right after, I mean what if I was being paranoid?
But still cautious, I approached it warily. And there before my very eyes was the silver haired, fuzzy eared demon shaking his head while gripping his side. He looked at me with, yellow eyes so bright and told me, "That hurt you know."
A gasp escaped my lips and I gingerly brought a hand to cover it. "Oh my god…" Then it sunk in. "Oh GOD!"
… I had just spilled everything, to whom I thought was a companion who couldn't understand a word but in reality was a youkai that now knew every thing - every single detail.
A cold feeling washed over me then, something akin to when I watched Inuyasha proclaim his love for his Kikyou. Betrayal? I silently wondered, numb to all. Probably. Slowly I turned and walked away.
"Wait!" He called after me.
I pretended I didn't hear him. Stiff and hurting, I walked away for a second time. "I won't be hurt again." I told myself with such conviction I almost believed it. A tear rolled down my cheek. But almost doesn't count.
He caught up to me in record time. I froze when he placed a large, rough hand on mine. "Let go." I whispered, I didn't even notice the small red droplets of my blood run down my arm from the puncture holes I made with my claws. My spirit blazed wildly. Unable to control it, I brought up my hand and pushed him away.
"I don't need you!" I cried.
At that minute, I no longer saw the cunning fox. In his place were my friends – the ones I trusted most. "I don't need you!"
Demons from my past aroused and lingered around me, literally. My heart clenched painfully and my breathing labored. I fell to my knees, both hands clasping my ears, to the point, which they were red.
"Stop it!" I screamed. "STOP IT!"
It hurt. It hurt so much. I thrashed and whimpered when they laughed at me. They always laughed at me. They declared to me of how Kikyou was so much better. That Kikyou would always hold a place higher than mine in Inuyasha's eyes. But most devastating of all, they mocked me and in my heart, I knew they were right.
I tore furiously at my head, wanting to get them out, just to be free of them. It hurt. It hurt so much.
"STOP IT!" I screeched in a panic.
In the background I listened to the confused yells of Youko, and felt the desperate slaps he registered me.
Drip. Went the wet, cold liquid falling from my eyes. Drip.
Drip.
Useless…
I bowed my head deeper. Kikyou's final laughs echoing emptily in my ears.
"Stop it." I whispered quietly. "Just stop."
They didn't. I didn't expect them to.
"Help me. Save me…" I hummed while sobbing uncontrollably. "Take me away from here."
Legolas wasn't here to whisk me away from my personal prison. Inuyasha wasn't either. I was alone.
All alone…………………………………………………………
"Damn it!" The kitsune demon muttered. She wouldn't snap out of it!
"Wake up Kagome! Come on!" Later he would frown upon why he acted so frantic. After all, she was nothing but a woman – not even that yet, merely a girl. However now was not later.
Without hesitating, Youko slid his arms beneath the girl and ran back to the lake. (He was surprised at the distance she had managed to throw him. Perhaps she wasn't to be underestimated after all.) Immediately, he threw her into the icy waters praying it would work. Lucky for him she didn't drown. Luckier still, she awakened from her nightmares.
………………………………………………………….
I caused a ripple in the water, poking my head out, I dully noted. My wet hair plastered itself onto me like a second skin.
Then a glimpse of silver…
Instantly I assumed. "SIT BOY!"
Of course you know what they say about assuming. (Dc: Sorry for this interruption but if you're like me and curious, I'll tell you what it means if you scroll to the very bottom.)
I crossed my arms in a huff. "Don't spy on me, Doggy Boy!" said I. I swam so that my back was facing him.
"I'm no dog, Kagome." He smirked.
Unsure of what I was going to see I turned around. At first I was positive it was Inuyasha. Yet those familiar cute ears were larger than what I had remembered, his face was fairer. He resembled Sesshomaru more than Inuyasha.
My jaw dropped and I plunged deeper into the water so all he could see of me was my head.
"PERVERT!" I shouted angrily, waving my arm around. His smirk widened.
Having enough, I dove under the murky water and groped around until my hand finally knocked into a rock. I grabbed it and surfaced.
"Go away!" I took the rock and threw it hard. He just laughed and caught it.
"I rather like the drowned rat look on you, Kagome." He said. His eyes twinkled in mirth. I, however, was fuming mad.
"It's not funny! This water is cold!" Here I shivered for emphasis. "So just go away and let me dry myself!"
His grin spread across his face to the point where I thought his face would rip. "Why don't you just come out now?"
I looked down at my clothing that clung onto me like a second skin and winced inwardly. There was no way I would, or could for that matter, emerge out of the water. "Why don't you leave?" I resorted.
A sudden glimmer in his golden eyes sent a shiver down my spine. Why was he looking at me like that?
"Because," He told me nonchalantly, "I like the view."
I realized then that in my rage, I had stood up and seeing as how my clothes were white…
"Ack!" I crossed my arms over my chest and submerged again into the water. "GET OUT PERVERT!"
When he refused to move I sent a wave of water at him. "Take that!" I cackled. Seconds later I stopped my attacks to admire my work. And admire them I did. Soaked through and through Youko looked positively murderous. I snickered loudly at him. The next thing I knew, the tides had turned… literally – and he was the one looking victorious and smug.
"No!" I sputtered, my arms came flying to my face but it was too late. Wave after wave he tossed at me unrelenting.
A small uncomfortable feeling rose in me. I couldn't breathe anymore and when I opened my mouth for air, a tidal of water would enter, leaving me afraid and disgusted.
"S-stop!" I managed to get out. It was too weak. He couldn't hear me. "Stop it! Please!"
I couldn't stay afloat. I couldn't breathe. I was panicking. "S-STOP!" He couldn't hear me…
I closed my eyes, defeated. I was going to die – drowned. It was so ironic… after fighting off youkai, Naraku and my inner demons for so long, I long since guessed that I would die in battle. Then again, I was not a hero, I was not meant to die in a heroic battle. I was a coward, and that's how I would go.
Not just yet…
With a power I didn't know I had, a baby blue ripple spread and wrapped itself around the water. Before I knew what I was doing, before I could stop it, a final wave knocked Youko off guard.
That wasn't right! Finding I could breathe again, I popped open one eye… then the other.
"Oh my God! Youko!"
I didn't notice how the water seemed to rip apart from each other when I walked. I didn't notice how I was WALKING and not swimming. I was too horrified by what I had done.
My pace quickened to a run. "Youko!"
I came to a stop in front of his tussled body and dropped to my knees. "Oh… I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."
"I'm okay, Kagome." He coughed.
If only his words had been more of a comfort.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I murmured softly in an repeating motion. I wrapped my arms around his waist to hug him. He hissed loudly. Startled I scrambled backwards and raised my questioning eyes to his. He stared at his rib. I followed his glare.
"Oh dear Gods…"
A big angry welt lashed across his skin but underneath it was a blue aura, acting like an unforgiving acid. I could hear his teeth grinding in pain. I leaned in; fingers outstretched and lightly traced the mar on his otherwise beautiful skin. I wasn't aware of how a gasp escaped his lips, or how ridged he became - only how sad I was that I had made a blemish on his perfect, ivory skin.
"I'm sorry." I said again. My fingers kept outlining the blue acid scar. "I wish this didn't happen."
He made a small noise and I opened my eyes surprised that they had fluttered closed in regret. I blinked. I rubbed my eyes and blinked again. I couldn't believe it! There was the blue acid being drawn into my fingertips. With a frightened cry, I wrenched backwards, watching as the last of the cornflower blue was absorbed.
"Amazing…" Youko breathed. "What did you do?"
I glanced at his flawless side and swallowed loudly. "I don't know…" I answered honestly.
I don't know…We sat, stumped, in quietness. It was not long after that the hobbits joined us, and then, at last, Sesshomaru.
"Why are you staring at the demon, Kagome?" Frodo asked.
I averted my eyes from him. A bright red hue lit my face. "I'm not."
"Denial!" Sam sang.
I blushed further. "I am not in denial!"
"Enough."
The cold statement was enough to stop all the humor and laughter that was finally bubbling up after a tense atmosphere. Where love and happiness once thrived, in its place were dark glares and anger. I wanted to cry.
"S-Sesshomaru?" I questioned. Hesitation leaked heavily from my words. I winced at how uncertain I sounded but steeled my shoulders anyways.
"Come." He commanded as he turned and started to walk away. I stared at his fading frame, mouth agape.
"Hey!" I called after him, racing to catch up. "You can't just demand that I do what you want me to do! I have a mind of my own!"
I ignored the fact that I was doing what he wanted – that I was following him. Instead I opted to yap at him. Perhaps I could get him annoyed. It would certainly be an improvement on the 'Mr. I'm-a-western-lord-which-automatically-makes-me-better-than-you-with-an-icicle-up-my-bum' personality he always wore. I wasn't asking for the moon! Well maybe I was, but knowing my ability to irritate people I didn't doubt.
He acted as though I was nothing but another bothersome wasp. Upset with this I purposely behaved more aggravating than usual. Too bad my talents were wasted on him. I should have known he wouldn't care – he did after all tolerate that toady thing. What was his name again? Oh that's right. It was Jaken.
I had half a mind to blow a raspberry right in front of his face and run away laughing. Alas, one cannot partake in such childish impulses. It didn't help that he was capable of dispatching my head from my neck and keep me from noticing it. Actually, I think that was the only reason why I didn't go through with it.
So half an hour (according to the small hello kitty watch on my wrist) later I marched slowly, lagging behind the others while staring angrily at Sesshomaru's back. As I sulked like a child not receiving her much sought after toy, the feeling to stomp my foot and pout enveloped me.
After a time the urge became impossible to tamp down. And I know it wasn't the most brilliant thing I'd done, but I caved.
And let me tell you how good it felt to finally let it out.
It felt so nice to just let go. It was so satisfying that even the aftereffects didn't faze me. What were the aftereffects? They were: every male in our group, gapping at me like I lost my sanity. Did I care? Not one bit. I probably did lose my mind and I wasn't about to disagree with what was true.
"If you're going to treat me like a child, then I'll act that way, thank you very much." I brightly informed them.
"I have no time for this."
Before a snide resort could be put in (by me of course) Sesshomaru knelt down and picked me up. The next thing I knew I was slung over his shoulder and my world was flipped upside down.
"What the…?"
As the blood rushed to my head I started to howl in his sensitive ears. "I can walk by myself you know!"
I was content to see he twitched. It was very slight yet I witnessed my victory.
I brushed away my gut feeling that something terrible would happen. Obviously I was stupid. Without a second thought, Sesshomaru did what I wanted and dropped me. Let me just say ouch.
"Hey!" I moved to rub my poor bottom without having to hurt myself even more.
"Then walk."
"Stupid… moronic… how can I walk with a bruised tailbone?" I muttered to myself wringing my hands together in a fashion somewhat akin to strangling motions. Frodo and Sam eyed me wearily. Slowly they scooted away from me. And what else could I do but pout?
Youko kept looking back. You'd think I was dying by the concern that was positively dripping from his actions. Yet it was… somewhat touching to see that he cared enough to make sure I was all right. The same, however, could not be said about Sesshomaru. He just glared into the distance – in my opinion – haughtily with his nose stuck up high in the air.
I crossed my arms but my rear hurt so I massaged it instead. "Stupid." I said.
Youko sighed and knelt down, squatting cutely. "Get on."
I tweaked my ears and leaned in. "C-could you repeat that please? Because for a second there I thought I heard you say 'Get on'…"
"Just get on!" He groaned exasperated.
I blinked and stood as still as a statue with my jaw millimeters from touching the ground. "You want me to do what?"
"Go on Kagome." Encouraged my traitorous friends, Frodo and Sam. They even gave me a little shove! Can you believe them?
Tipped off balance by the tiny push, I stumbled – right onto him. Youko hooked his claws under my legs to support me and stood up.
Bubum. My heart sped up. I gingerly touched my chest, fearing my heart would quicken to the point it jumped right out. But why…? I didn't understand. The only times it got to this point was with Inuyasha. Maybe, just maybe I was getting over him?
My fingers found their way to the bottle I contained the jewel shards in. Just maybe…
……………………………………………………………………..
Assuming: Makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me' assume…
Dark: This chapter is shorter than what I told myself to write – a page and a third, pages shorter unfortunately. But think of it this way! I updated! And… it's… pretty long…
Kagome: Er… Dark… I thought I was going to end up with Legolas.
Youko: I'm not complaining.
Dark: Yeah you are going to end up with him Kags, but Youko is winning in the polls against Sessho so I need to put in some romance between you and him.
Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and Legolas: (Growls)
Dark: Don't kill the messenger!
Kagome: Hate to point this out but you're the one writing this script.
Dark: (Sweatdrops) You may have to wait until I'm dead when I update… (runs away with two angry demons and a mad elf chasing after her.)

Review Responses:
Saphire Dragon: O.o First of all, you are not an insolent mortal – in fact you are a good friend. And kicking me is better than what my friends do: call me a fruit loop . Second: I am flattered really – but I'm not great… really I'm not
Saphire Dragon: I've gotten death threats, compliments, orders and the occasional flames but never have I had a person write a story about me… (big grin) Oh and you can call me Darkness carrier or Dark or my real name. (Which you won't find out until later on) By the way I'm still wondering why in the world are you reading my work when obviously yours is better! So until you sign up on fanfiction. Net and post your own story (dedicated to me of course… j/k) until then I'll keep your straw hostage! (Evil laugh) Also when you do, tell me – I want to write a story with you. Anyways if you have msn messenger tell me – I want to add you!
Lady-Seoh-Phoenix: I hate it when I get curious about what's going to happen in fanfics (good stories do that don't they? I hate it when that happens) and I get so mad that the author hasn't updated in a long while. HI Maro-chan! I'm so glad you guys are still reviewing. And I'm even happier that you like this story. I'm trying to improve my writing just so you guys can enjoy it more.
Saphire Dragon: Look above
Saphire Dragon: Look above
Saphire Dragon: Look above
Saphire Dragon: Babbling is fun. O.o that is a better threat… If it makes you feel any better – I updated! Also – my life consists of writing, reading, computering (yes I know that's not a word) and watching tv OH and trying to harm my rival-er-person-guy Serhiy. So since homework and tests are out of the way I'll be updating more often.
moonie9999: No worries. After all, I updated late right? Oh I need to tell you this. When you didn't review I was so down and scared that you apparently didn't like my story anymore – what frightened me even more was the fact of which – I was really affected. I just want you to know… And Legolas it is – Sesshy's having a little bit of trouble against Youko I'm afraid… .
AnimeLover14: Yeah! Inuyasha is a menace and must be stopped! … And I'm not only saying that because he's trying to kill me. (Hears Inuyasha's growling in the background)
AnimeLover14: You added me to your favorites? (Starry eyes) Thanks!
AnimeLover14: Legolas and Youko are cute aren't they?
AnimeLover14: Lol, I dragged him now you can vote. (Grins)
Vanya the Elven Maiden of the Valar: THANK YOU SO MUCH! (Hugs Vanya the Elven Maiden of the Valar) Why? Because you criticized my work. I want to improve and in order to do that I need to know where I'm going wrong. So randomness – I'll take that into deep consideration. Thank you again! And yeah, Sesshomaru and Youko are trying to take Kagome away but have no fear! She and Legolas WILL end up together. And yes I'll write those pairings in a different story.
Nania: I know it's confusing but some parts are essential – like the slave scene. I needed that to introduce Youko. Lol. And thanks.
inuyashas hun: You really like this story that much? I'm flattered!
KC: Is better? (Sweatdrops) Sorry I'm not really good at fluff yet… .
Lady-Seoh-Phoenix: Lol. Yes the dead one has returned. And you can call me whatever you want (narrows eyes) so long as it's not insulting… Maro-chan And I will during this summer break.
Broken Whispers: Lol. Sorry if I'm confusing. I'm trying to clear it up. XP And here's more! (Grins)
Saphire Dragon: Of course it means a lot to me! And believe me. If I did die – I'd still update. There is no way I'm leaving just yet… Anyways, I'll remember that! September 21st okay. Careful not to drive off the road and get into a crash! Oh believe me – cliffhangers have been the bane of existence… until I found out how fun it was to write it! (Big grin) No I don't have a life lol. I love long reviews – I tend to read all my reviews quickly since I've gotten into a habit of skimming quickly, and so I love long reviews – more time loving it.
Blade: D Thanks!
Taeniaea: I'm glad you love my chapters. )
DMGTDK: (Blushes) Thanks. I updated!
kitty kitsune: But…?
midnight-fox-55: My B-day is (unfortunately) the day before Christmas. How about you? It'd be wicked if we had the same birthday.
midnight-fox-55: Lol. Like the Youko/Kagome fluff (or at least what's supposed to be fluff) in this chapter?
coolwolf22: Thanks for pointing that out! You're the only one who noticed! I am so stupid! (Bangs head on keyboard) I'll go fix that… when I'm not… so lazy… (Sheepish grin)
ShadeSpirit: Really? I'm so happy now! (Hugs ShadeSpirit)
SilverShadowKitsune: Thanks. Sorry about the long wait.
hakkai-my-youkai: Actually I'm trying to come up with a way to make it so that I stick to the book without messing it up TOO badly lol. Yes they are… I hope…
Dark Magician Grrl: Thank you!
Lea & Moon: YAY! YOU GUYS REVIEWED! I'd never give up on this fic… at least not until I die… and even then I'll find it hard to let it go. Yeah… I hate how I'm improving – I mean the fact itself is good (I even managed an A in English) but if you read the first chapter through to the end (or rather chapter 12) the gap of quality is HUGE! So that's why I was thinking of going on a hiatus until my writing stopped swaying, became steady and I stopped taking in more styles! But still… I don't want to disappoint. Yeah… now I'm wondering how to make Kagome and Legolas fall in love with the distance they have between them and Youko being so charming… . The polls are open until the sequel… because that's when the two males (that win) truly have time with her. Hehe. I did it for me too. He was getting on my nerves. So having fun with Youko?
Kita: Thanks! And Youko… (writes on notebook) and… Legolas… OKIES!
Jade: (Jaw drops) Er… that might, just MIGHT, be difficult… hmm… but it's a good twist… I'll do it! (In the sequel!) Thanks! I'll remind myself to give credit to you for the idea.
AnimeMoonlightGoddess: Really? Hehe. I live for cuteness. D
Duzzie: Yeah it's possible and okay. And THANKS! I love it when people love my story.
Jade: If it's just a crush, Legolas still has a chance to fall in LOVE right? Either way it's fanfiction so I find Legolas/Kagome a decent couple (even more than decent) I'm sorry to say this but I truly dislike (maybe even hate) Sess/Rin coupling. I found it really – I don't know – not me.
Jade: I can write a different story featuring Inuyasha/Kagome if you want but this story is strictly what I have so far. Youko/Kagome, Sesshomaru/Kagome, and Legolas/Kagome. Inuyasha, I'm afraid, is merely a guy that Kagome has to get over. I'm sorry.
spice of Inu-Yasha: D ------------ you told me not to (Grin) anyways bis!
YoukoLover: Yeah I felt so terrible for making Youko say that… And during this summer I plan to write… a LOT. If I don't – I give you permission to pinch me. (Grins) Legolas Kagome it is than.
