Since I have recently had two anonymous reviews that I felt diserved a response I am reviewing my own story because the only way I know how to get bact to the reviewers.
First, to Lilla.
Here's the thing, These last two chapters are intentionally chaotic, crazy and confusing. I am writing from Kagome's perspective, how do you think she feels? Drugged, abused, and running away from her tormentors when she is hurt and eventually passes out from blood loss.
Surely she would not be in a mind set to tell an eloquent, detailed, comprehensive or even consice run through of what has happened to her? and if she was, wouldn't it be strange and maybe even boring? Also as an author, on sites like these, you don't really think I would leave you hanging like that without clarifying in some way what has happened to Kagome?
I feel like I would have gotten similar reviews in opposite had I written these last two chapters less chaotically, something like "I thought this was a chase scene, but there is no drama, I feel like she must have been having an out of body experience to have explained everything so clearly"
This is how I write, and I don't know of any other way to do it that would still allow me to reach my end goals for the chapters, so I can't even apologize for it. I also can't promise you that I won't do it again in the future, so if it really bothers you, I may not be a good author for you to follow.
and if that is the case, than I am sorry that you wasted so much time up until now.
I do appreciate hearing your oppinion, I just don't see how I could have approached this any differently.
Thanks for taking the time to let me know what you thought.
And to my second reviewer,
Thank you for understanding, I can see from your response to Lilla, that you and I are on similar waveleingths about the subject, and I appreciate you supporting me through your response to what may seem like a rather harsh view of the last scenes.
I would also like to thank you for right away posting that you were enjoying the story and showing me that you understood where I was coming from with the chapters, you haven't reviewed before (that I can tell anyway) and I really appreciate you doing so in this instance. Your review saved me from worrying about whether or not everyone felt the same way as Lilla, and saved my beta reader from what may have been a very dramatic note asking about the subject and why she didn't tell me the same (Note: Dianne, you owe this person a thank you as well ^.~) You went out of your way to support me and I greatly appreciate it.
On another tangent, I am so glad that you are enjoying me story despite it's... eclecticity. I worried at first that it would not be popular because it was so far from what we have all come to know and love with InuYasha Fanfictions, but am glad to hear that I have even drawn a reader in who wouldn't normally read such a story. so I am very glad that you like it and hope to maybe hear more from you as the story progresses.
And finally at the end of my review, but before I shut up and go back to writing the next chapter, I'd like to say a couple general things.
First, look how freaking long this review is, I am long winded, that is PROBABLY why the chase scene turned into such a long chapter.
Second, I am so glad you all are reading my story!
and third, I hope you all are ready for the introduction of Sesshoumaru, because we will be seeing him in the VERY near future!
Lots of love for you all!!

Lilla - While I agree about the length of the chase scene, have you ever had to flee from someone who has hurt you physically? It is chaotic--and terrifying. With regards to incompetance, I can't speak for the guards, but Kagome is doing remarkably well given that she has been recently drugged, raped, beaten on, and betrayed by her best friend.
OP - This story is not what I usually gravitate to, but I keep reading it. Good job.

It is the most infuriating, irritating story I have ever read, even tough it was so promising at the beginning. How the hell can be an escape attempt be this long and so chaotic? Like chicken without heads running around. I can't decide witch of them is more incompetent: she or the pursuers.
Sorry if you find it to aggressive, but this thoughts are running around in my head since I read the last two chapter.
Sincerely,
L.
Keep it coming.

I really like this story. It is addictingly good in my opinion. I will wait as patiently impatient as possible for updates.
