So, recently I found myself wanting to look back into old areas of my past-- namely, my old love for Inuyasha fanfics. I've been re-reading some of my old favorites, and this was one that I remembered.
It was just as awesome as I remembered.
The dialogue was amazing, and realistic. The characters were well-thought-out and convincing. I really loved the confusion between the modern relationships and the old relationships, especially the inconsistencies with how we know the characters were during the series, and how the characters may (or may not) have grown up to be after the series ended. You did a really good job leaving that open for us, and for the characters.
I also really liked how you brought it full circle, to the beginning of the series. It started out like any other AU reincarnation fic, but the twisting in with the actual story, and the fact that you didn't actually center it around Inuyasha or Kagome but instead focused on the 'side characters', made it really engaging for me.
And, lol, Kagura and Kouga. That pairing makes me smile, if only for the crack-ness of it. Although, in a story like this, it's not so crack. I remember the first time I read this, being really confused by the possiblity of it. But by the time I finished your story I was ready to accept KaguraXKouga as canon. ^_^;

So, all in all, a great work. Thank you for writing it.

Speaking really quickly, it seemed like you spent a lot of time building up a story only to end it remarkably quickly. Maybe that reflected the demands of fanfic. It left me hungry and disappointed, mostly because you'd built up an appetite for a lot more out of this story!
Mostly, I'm impressed with how you managed to keep Kagome/Inuyasha out of the story. Really! As for the temporal paradox resolution, well, nice try. Actually, fairly convincing. The Kagura/Kouga romance was actually pretty convincing as well. And you did a nice job with Rin/Sesshoumaru--Kanna? Actually, I liked it a lot.
Of course, I read this for the Miroku/Sango, which devolved into more of a side issue, and made me sigh.
Truly, at this stage in this game, AU between this pair is probably where the real interests lies. Still, I liked it enough to mark it as a favorite.

I know that this an old fic but I just finished reading it and have to say that it was remarkably well written. I thoroughly enjoyed it ^_^

I'm soo glad you finished this fic before you quit updating ^_^ Very kind of you. I really enjoyed this fic (this is my second time reading it by the way. I don't think I reviewed the first time around). It was an interesting take on the whole reincarnation scenario. I especially loved your portrayal of Mai. Oh, and I've grown fond of Senrei's name for some reason.

Yo. Kewl Story. Loved it

Wow, this is an amazing story. I really enjoyed it. I love the idea too, and I didn't really think that the story was too hard to follow, like I thought some others would. Ahaa, Kagura and Koga are my favorite couple...Well, keep up the great work!

It was a REALLY REALLY good story, very well written and very believable. However, two things bother me. You never mentioned how Kagura, Kanna, and Kouga died-at least as far as I can tell. The second is that the reader never found out what became of Inuyasha, Kagome, or Kikyo. The second is what bothers me the most. E-mail me if you so choose to answer

That was frickking confusing... In a good-bad way. So many things happening and Sesshoumaru-sama being the one who actually GOT IT DONE plus a wonderful twist plus foreshadowing. My head is going to CRACK.

great story btw!

I finally finished this fic! I must've started reading it three seperate times and then forgotten about it, but I finally finished it this time! ^.^;; Ehehe.

I loved it. I need to finish watching the eps you sent me. I need more Kagura/Kouga, even if it's subtle and I have to read between the lines. I'm good at that. xD

Anyway, excellent fic, excellent Sango/Miroku, excellent Kagura/Kouga, Sesshoumaru-sama was funny, the twist was great, etc etc.

Loved it, basically. :D

I enjoyed your fic a lot, it is very well written and your way to narrate the story is excellent. It is also very original; I don't think I have seen another story like this one. Thanks a lot for writing it :D. It is going to my favs!

I loved it! Very good story idea. It was kinda confusing at times, but a good kind of confusing. The kind that makes you feel smarter after you figure it out. Hehe. I think that you should write a sequel. Because it was good and I don't want it to end! Anywho, great job! Bye-ya!

cool story. i think it was one of the best stories i've ever read! wow, u're a really good writer! keep at it! oh **... i just sounded like a teacher.

p.s. i'm adding u to my fav's list!

i 1st though it was kouga. i feel ashamed now. i should of known shoukon meant scar. i mean, i take japanese as a second launguage. oh, well. must have slipped my mind

You know, before this fic, I'd never read any Kouga/Kagura or reincarnation fic. However, you managed to combine two unlikely elements to make a fic that's throughly enjoyable, and I say this as an extremely picky reader. To sum up: I liked this story a lot, and I hope to see more of similar quality from you in the future.

I really like this story. It took me quite awhile to find it when I decided that I wanted to reread it, because I couldn't remember the title. It was just as good this time, but I expect that from yours. Nice work and Thank you.
