Dear Noa, your cat sounds absolutely adorable! LOL. I am more of a dog person, but my neighbor has this big, fat Garfield-lookalike cat which is rather skillful at giving dirty looks. So I can pretty much imagine. LOL. I saw your review on FF.net, and really appreciate it. It was quite a sad chapter, wasn't it? I am contemplating the endings right now...I am quite sure of how I want to end it for Sesshoumaru and Kagome, but Inuyasha and Kikyou...well, let's just say I am torn between being an angel and the devil.

Hi dear! Thank you for the review of chapter 11! It was dramatic, wasn't it? Kinda like BAM right in the face. I surprised myself with how it turned out. Then after I uploaded it, I tried to put myself in Kagome's shoes. Man, I'd hate to be Kagome in that scenario. Chapter 12's up (I am on a writing rampage because of the lovely reviews from you guys) and I hope you'll enjoy reading it. You will most probably know what's going to happen between Sesshoumaru and Kaguya, since I gave you the little spoiler.

Thank you so much for pointing out the flaws in my fanfic!!! it means so much to me! I didn't know that ill fix them and i hope you continue to read and comment on my work! thank you agian!

Thanks for the reminder on the antagonists/protagonists thing - when I looked at it, I smacked myself, because I know the difference. But I guess that's what you get for writing at 3 am after not sleeping for a couple days -
brain damage. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out, while NOT making me feel TOO stupid - gods know I don't need any help with that! LOL!

Oh dear, I'm spamming your wall with posts! Thank you for your advice on writing from Kagome's perspective. I totally agree with you - while Kagome's perspective would open us up to broader understandings of the situation, it would definitely disrupt the flow of the story as well. I believe I'll stick to writing from Sesshoumaru's perspective, but at the same time, write about the other characters from a narrator's POV. I'm still thinking of what evil things I should do to Inuyasha!

Kagome will be going through an emotional turmoil in the next chapter when she sees Sesshoumaru with Kaguya. Here's a little spoiler for you, but do you remember having read about a movie premiere in chapter 7? The one which Sesshoumaru is accompanying Kaguya to? A star-studded night means the presence of the paparazzi. Kagome watches TV. *evil laughter*
...OK. *calms self* I have worse things in store for all the characters involved...honestly, I've never written a Sess/Kag with an unhappy ending, but I'm so tempted to make this a sad one...

I'm so sorry to have made you cried! And your interaction with your husband just sounds so sweet and cute! LOL. It must be so nice to be in love

OMG MINI GOLF!!!! It's just tooooo adorable~ I really really enjoyed it. Merci beaucoup!

I know I can ALWAYS count on you to make my day. Or rather, night. It's 12am at where I am (Southeast Asian region), but you just made me grin like an idiot in front of the screen.

I was seriously thinking of letting him hook up with Kagura, but because I like the Sesshoumaru/Kagura pairing as well, I'd feel bad writing it. Mini golf got me laughing and trying to picture Sesshoumaru playing it!! You should try to write a funny oneshot or something - your excellent writing skills will definitely do it justice. MissTeak says, "MINI GOLF, PLEASE!!" It will be hilarious!

Anyway, on to the Kaguya. I used Kaguya since she is (1) a rather minor Inuyasha movie character, (2) Very pretty and sexy, which is what I needed her for - to spike Kagome. This sounds really shallow, but you know, as a girl, I'd feel rather crappy about myself if the guy who used to like me found a much hotter girl. I was trying to imagine the feeling, and I figured Kagome deserved something like that. I was thinking of writing a chapter in her perspective. What do you think?

Thank you for your stunning review of "The Third Parties"! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Poor Sesshoumaru is suffering big time in this evil fic of mine, but then again, I am getting some kind of sadistic kick out of doing this to him!!

I thought you'd like that part of SCTD, Noacat: Queen of Twisted Tales.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I don't know why I let things get to me this last chapter. I think it might be because there's a lot going on at home right now. Needless to say I am overyjoyed to hear from you and what you think about Letters. So thanks again. And you're right I will continue to write this the way I planned.
