I LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOUUUUU!  Thank you for the coming redemption of Inuyasha!  Yes!  I'm so happy reading this even though I am behind in the story.  Mega mega love!  Yes!  Yes!  The world is all LOVE!  :-) 

I didn't know I wanted this until it happened.  See how brilliant you are, Favorite Author??

Ah, another chapter! I love your explanation of their powers. Makes perfect sense and it's very poetic and beautiful. Hopefully the news of Kagome's power/ability doesn't escape back to that deranged Emperor. Everyone must die. 

What? A detour into a side story? We don't have time for tales on the battlefield. There's much too much going on. 

I'm assuming she can understand him because of their relationship? Poor Akihito! I hope he's all right. And did I read that correctly? The Emperor has youkai fighting with him? Sickening. 

I agree with Kagome and the idea of where their power (yokai and miko/priests) comes from and what purity really means. They're meant to balance each other. I always thought that reiki should be able to purify humans as well, if their spirit was so utterly corrupted then why not? 

And what's this? Akihito's woman is a miko?! Do tell! Looking forward to finding out what that came to be. 

I bet Miroku scored several points with Sesshoumaru for making him laugh with how he brought Hoshihi...

Lovely chapter as usual! Thank you!

Woot!! love this chapter! I knew Kagome wouldn't let them go off to fight without her. And without effort she's proving herself again to Sesshoumaru's vassals; no one should have any doubts of her after this. Nothing less than respect and loyalty for our Kagome! And I love that she keeps surprising Sesshoumaru with how she accepts him as his whole self. 

Can't wait to see what happens when Miroku shows up with his baby momma. And I hope Akihito survives his foolish confrontation with mikos! 

If very intense even if the battle didn't start yet.

Thx for updating. I knew it's the lady ark... Sighs... All good things must come to an end....

I'm glad he didn't hurt Hoshishi. It's much better to humiliate her now and wait to kill her later. The baby is part her, but it's still a baby and Miroku is the type to save one just because.

Looking forward to how Sesshomaru will calm his subjects. And will they leave before Miroku arrives? Ugh, the confrontation that'll cause. Actually, maybe Sango won't be as hurt as we think... 

Oh well well well! The showdown between Miroku and Hoshihi was not what I expected and so so good! Miroku is really coming into his own as a yokai, me likey. I almost feel bad for Hoshihi but only almost. I think Yoko and Miroku make a lovely pair; Yoko can hold her own with Miroku without being malicious and deceitful. 

I wonder what will happen on Miroku's return to Edo with Hoshihi in tow? Will he be surprised at the state of things? 

And I'm eagerly anticipating the final showdown with the Emperor's army! 

Oooh! And so Hoshihi makes her appearance and gets the shock of her life. ha! Looks like Shippou's being the good big brother/trickster that he is...he's a cheeky one. Wonder if Masamitsu will pick up some of that from him, hehehe. And boy, Miroku is not playing man. He's not playing at all; I think he's gonna lay the ground rules down for his mate. Although he's not happy with her, he's probably the best mate for her...one of few that can keep her in check. 

And glad he had the forsight to stay behind to watch the kiddies and thought to protect Masamitsu from his great granny if needed. Oh Baa-chan what's in store for you, I wonder? 

I like the possible relationship/alliance/mutual respect that happening between Sesshoumaru and Hojo. They're so on the same wave-length. It can only mean great things for Edo! Will his vassals stay behind as well to protect against the Emperor's army? Or have they all been wiped out already? heh.

Will Hojo become the Shogun or something, instead of the Tokugawa? OR OR OR will there be no Meiji Restoration because the imperial forces are being wiped out by Sesshoumaru vassals and Hojo's army? I mean I know I blurring timelines here...but I'm wondering how the defeat of the Emperor's army will affect history. B/c obviously, they're not gonna win this fight. Nooooope! 

Hoping Sesshomaru catches his vassals before they start eating the wrong people. I wonder who he'll send to help Edo and Inuyasha though... Who is available? 

Still no word on that merchant. Where's he hiding? 

Shippo did well. He's right to shed that fear he carried for so long. And good for Miroku too, bring a good uncle and not trusting that bitch. Unconcerned is the perfect response to the confirmation. I worry about the baby showing his power to Hoshishi though. She clearly won't be waiting for Sesshomaru and Kagome to come home, but she won't do anything good with that information.

Another great chapter as always  Hope you enjoy the rest of the week  

Wow! Sesshoumaru has loosened up a bit! Letting a human (or anyone else really...) witness his laughter and not killing them for it? Amazeballs! Love it. Soooo is Hoshihi the six person back at the castle??hmmm?? Did I get it right?

Another great chappie! I love how you weave in the comedic elements with the seriousness and bloodshed. I'm gonna go read this chapter again! :)

And just like that, all is forgiven. Such a wonderful chapter. I love your action scenes, and I love that you're indulging us so with these chapters. Where do we go from here, though? And where is that guy? They wouldn't attack the Emperor, would they? That seems unnecessarily risky, fighting on his terrain. So meetings will be next (after the resting), yes? At least between those in the castle who make decisions. The vassals will no doubt vacate the premises quickly. But Kagome and Sesshomaru need to get back home soon too, don't they? Hmm... 

Ah I can't stress enough how much I love you for continuing to write this amazing fic. I love it and I read it three times while it was on hiatus, hoping for new chapters, so when you started updating you made me super happy. I know how life can get busy and I appreciate your time and effort. Thx again.

I loved how inuyasha was depicted. And he somehow fits with sango, even though I never saw that pairing.  I mean it was not believable till your fic.

Again thank you for updating, enjoy your week and good luck!

Well, that was a little satisfying, though not as much as I hoped. But you did promise more blood, so we shall see. He's too nice for his own good. They should definitely kill everyone. It took a while for Hojo to get to Inuyasha. What took him?

Interesting coming attractions. Will Kagome see another proposal? 

INUYASHASAMA!?!?!! Hahahahahahahahaaaaaa! 

That's awesome. ???? Well well we’ll...someone’s showing respect and it took us all off guard. 

Another great chapter! 

Oh boy inuyasha is shocked!

And the hojo family....

Thx for updating.

Yaaaaaay! It's almost time for more murdering!!! Color me excited for the vengeance. Here's hoping that Inuyasha can take care of the monks quickly, so he can help Kagome and Sesshomaru wit the soldiers, and that the arrivals of Sesshomaru's "guests" allow him time to affirm both his place. I just hope that he doesn't go back to being human after this battle. 

Was this Hoshishi's plan from the beginning? To give her son's son complete control over his blood so she can manipulate him in some ridiculous scheme later? Because that sounds slightly helpful, and she's never been anything but controlling. I'm excited for Inuyasha and Sango, but I'm also a little paranoid about this development and what it could mean. Wouldn't it be easier to just have Sesshomaru punch his brother in the stomach again and call it a day? 

As strange as it seems the insecurity felt/expressed by Sango is only mirrored by Inuyasha and that makes them a great couple. I love that you didn't twist their characters at all to make this so plausible. Hoping to see more of them later. 

Get em Inu!!

WooHoo! Awesome chapter (per the usual ;) )! Inuyasha and Tetsuaiga back together again and even better than before it seems like! And I worried over Sango for naught, she still wants Inu, hanyou or human, and that makes my heart glad. Aiko still has a chance to be healed and the promise to her son kept. Hojo's soldiers has finally made their appearance and all the better for it! 

Now, we've got Sesshoumaru and the yokai gang to fight off a split Emperors' army. Muwahahahahaa! They're toast! 

Inuyasha's response to the army is sooo him. Loved it. I snickered to myself in glee.  

The excitement just keeps building! More, more! Onward! 

I was doing a happy dance! Yay! Finally!

Welcome back old friends!

Thanks for updating!
