Huge, vicious white dog huh? lol, it scared me when i first started watching and his brother went from being drool worthy to faint inspiring, haha. I hope your writers block is better love and love for writing has suddenly reappeared. Well, i hope we get to see them get rid of ghost bitch soon (I love that nickname =)

"Why are we whispering?"

"Probably because the process of kidnapping someone brings with it the 'talk-low' vibe?"

BAHAHAHA I LOVE IT! I LOLED on that one. Poor Kouga, being the object of body snatching isn't easy. I wonder what will happen when he wakes up. I also feel really bad for Kagome. Her life is becoming one big secret. She can't tell the man she loves what's going on. I truly wonder how he'll react when he finds out; will he feel betrayed, embarrassed, or thankful (maybe bewildered?)

Guess I'll have to wait and see! It's good to see you're back! I know what if feels like to know what you want to write and having time to do so, but being unable to muster up the sensibility to ACTUALLY do it! I'm in that boat as we speak! lol

This is really good! I did notice so no worries! :D

I hope you are able to update again soon! I look forward to reading more!

I caught a few minutes, and couldn't resist. So I was able to go ahead and read the update (mostly) uninterrupted! I'm so glad too, because I enjoyed this chapter just as much as everyone prior. Truly, you are an amazing tallent. You certainly can't tell that you struggled to get this one out. I thought that the pace was appropriate - I know you worried it might seem rushed - given the stage of the story we are in. I think authors either slow it down too much or speed things along too quickly once they really start delving into the plot. In this chapter you offered a few breaks of comedy, but really kept the suspence and anxiety built. You can really feel what the characters are going through.

Poor Miroku! Sucks to be relegated to the brawn, but he does it so well! I appreciated that you brought up his lesser-focused-on virtues. Mostly, in AU stories he's limited to being smart, wise and a pervert. You showed him as insightful, sensative, and even remembered that in the canon he's not the average human - he's a traveling, FIGHTING monk, and with it comes a level of physical prowess that most writers ignore or forget. Loved Sango's "blonde" moment with the security guard. I would have totaly spazzed too - as if KIDNAPPING someone wasn't stressful enough. I also liked the subtle and appropriately brief references to the canon characters/roles. That was fun to pick up on.

I'm SO excited to see how they are going to excersize Lyka. I wonder how they are going to explain everything to Koga. How much will he remember? And if nothing I'm sure that the missing time will be enough to confuse the hell out of him. Good thing he's a bit of a lug. They should be able to explain it away fairly easily. lol Just confuse him.

And I hadn't even thought about Kagome not being able to let Naraku find out about Lyka showing up again. I had been thinking about the last time and how sexy possessive and protective he got, but it never dawned on me why she CAN'T let him find out. I mean her spiritual strength is growing quickly, and he might be able to "sense" that, but to then find out she's grown and strengthened so much as to overcome lyka, would definitely be an issue to him. I wonder if Myoga will have Kagome do most of the ritual in order to strengthen her? And what will a ritual like that be like? How involved will Sango and Miroku be?

And how will things change now that Miroku knows all the details of their situation, including with the Professor?

Whom I felt bad for BTW. Taisho kinda got the brush off from Kagome, so I'm wondering if he'll pic up on something being "off." After all, its normally HER that lingers a little too long, or makes moon eyes when they should be trying to keep a distance. This time it was Taisho and SHE was the one who was at arms length. I can't help but think, with him being as astute as he is, that he'd suspect something is up, although he'd assume something completely different than what is ACTUALLY happening - I mean who would just assume, "I'm being possessed and the spirit of my possessors ex victim is being kidnapped by my love intrest in the body of a male student?" Wouldn't happen. He may not even mention the oddness between them in that moment, but I think he'll be watching her a little more closely. Maybe. ;) Might be the start of his suspecting something is going on - more than intense dreams, exhastion, lingering tastes, and missing time.

I can't wait to get in to this more! I hope you were able to work through your block and get motivated again. You are doing an AMAZING job. I'm so proud you are sticking through this. I know its hard.

Hope this new chapter means things are going better for you.

And yes... caught the tips back to cannon. ^_^ On that, I'm still laughing about the whole Nah Rah Ku thing and how long it took me to make THAT connection. *laughs* Kept focusing on the 'Rah' and thinking more Egyptian than 'Inuyashian' if you know what I mean.

Glad they've Kouga safely off campus. Poor Kouga -hope he's okay.

Thanks for writing!

Welcome back! Loved how you used the canon forms for both sesshy and Myoga.  Hope you are doing alright. Looking forward to the next update.

Welcome back, it's definitely good to see an update from you.  I'm very sorry to hear about your loss and I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. 

As far as the chapter goes, I felt it was a very good set up for the upcoming ritual and whatnot.  Miroku is such a good guy to help as he had!  Loved the playful banter and thoughts between characters. 

Well done!

Yay!! I have been obsessively checking to see if this story was updated, I was so excited to see that it was!

Still loving it :)

Hope all is well,
Thanks for writing!

This is an incredible story! I don't know HOW you come up with these ideas, but they are amazing! I wonder if Kagome will let The Thief know about Lyka being back, I mean... he COULD get rid of her. He did the last time. And she IS trying to harm his only food source. >:^)

Take your time with the next chap, we'll all be more than happy to read it when you are ready to post it.

I think I just found a new story to obsess over ^_~ I'm usually don't read a lot of AU fics, but this one is fantastic!  Characterizations are excellent, plot is superb and the burgeoning love triangle... (might our Thief be falling for Kagome? Hey, who could blame him?)  It all makes me practically squeal in delight.  I discoverd this story yesterday and didn't go to bed until I had caught up.  Really, I don't think I can quite express how truly supremely fantastic I find this story ^_^

You are an excellent writer!

On a more somber note, I am sorry to hear about the hardships going on.  Hope everything falls into place.

Take care,
JM

This is so tantalizing, I love it! It's 2am right now and I simply can't stop reading! And I'm only on chapter 2, way to go.

Really original story. I look forward to seeing more.

This is such a majorly awesome piece of work! The way you flesh out the characters and weave such a complex web of interactions and consequent developments leaves me utterly awed! LOVE IT. I am definitely looking forward to your next update x)

BTW I did read all the chapters... ^___^

You are AMAZING. This is one of the best stories that I have read in a long time. I have put off this story for a long time fore two reasons: I thought it would be very good and take me away from all of my responsibiliites or it would be a total waste of time. It was most definately not a waste of time. I would have read all twenty five chapters in one day had it not been for me having to go to work. I am so happy and fortunate that I got to encounter a great author like you. The way you told the story was so rich with detail and easy to follow. Not to mention a good read. The way you interlaced the plots seamlessly was the cherry on top of reading this fic. I cannot wait until the next installment. But you know, I have a feeling that Nah Rah Ku is going to confess his feelings for her and she is going to end up choosing the both of them. Or Nah Rah Ku will take over Sesshomaru completely which makes her determined to exercise him from Sesshomaru. If that happens I think he is going to be with her in another life time after he pays for the life times he has missed. ^___^ OH I HOPE I AM ON THE RIGHT TRACK!

as if things could get anymore interesting. I wonder how this will pan out and how they will get a grown man out witout raising any suspecion. amd even if they do get lyka/kouga what are they gonna do wit them? Well u have left me stumped and I can't wait to see how things turn out :)
