Thanks for your review on Hopeless. No, it doesn't seem like anyone is on her side. At least not yet. She can't call him Inu because well, I can't tell you yet. xD Sesshoumaru is simply Sesshoumaru in this story, they were never actually on good terms in the anime, and that's what I'm going off of.

Well, I can't answer the questions about Miss Kagura's story because I'm not her, but I DO know what a shakuhachi is. It's a Japanese wind instrument often used by monks for meditation.
