I love your Miroku. Usually, authors portray him as either a pervert or... well, maybe just a pervert. Your Miroku is at least charming. His characterization was a bit different and more "fleshed out," I guess. There was a different dimension.

So yeah. Keep on going!

I enjoyed this chapter, as well as the previous ones, just as I enjoyed the prequel to this one. You are very good at keeping the characters in character but setting them into a different environment. I like the way you present an arguement as to how society would be if demons did indeed exist still in the modern world. You captured the human instinct to impose regulations and order upon something they cannot control in order to make themselves fill safer.

You're use of quotes and provebs to move the story along and to give an idea of what the 'thesis' of the chapter is about really catches my attention. I love quotes (chances are, I mispelled that word...again.)

Kagome and Sesshoumaru's interaction is great; I like how you don't have her automatically comfortable in his presence--society's fear was ingrained in her and it still lingers, which would be true. As for Sesshoumaru, I like how he slowly begins to open up and in this chapter begins to tease her in a roundabout arguement. Very good characterizations and interactions.

As for Miroku, I liked how to portrayed him in the position of counsuler and still kept him, of course, a bit of a pervert. However, it might be hard to keep him in a position of power in a school and keep true to his character, unless you tone down some of his less...ahem...decent antics. Sexual harassment cases has been called on far less than a few indecent stares...But overall, you captured him well in a modern setting. It makes sense that he would try for a job that puts him closer to young pretty women, and perhaps single teachers.

Very good story and very enjoyable. I hope you can get out a new chapter soon.

Can I just say I'm freaking in love with this continuation and leave it at that? There's really not a better way for me to put it. On every artistic level, with every emotion it's inspiring.

I have been following your stories Perception and Divergence. I think your endeavor to analyze humans' wide swept prejudice against demons is quite successful.

short sweet and to the point i liked it a lot the fact that you could actually use that in real life and how you worded it was wonderful i enjoyed reading it and cant wait to read more. love always, Jeanette

I loved it!
