You are an amazing writer and your work is very original! Your original characters are great and so detailed , and that's pretty difficult ,( i especially love Masaru , he's adorable). Do you have any intentions of continuing the story?
I really wish to know what happens with Masaru and Saya ... :)

WHOA! How about them apples! LOL! So Kasai has inherited Miroku's cursed, lecherous hand and ways; strongly too I might add LOL! She went pass the gropping part directly to the kissing! HA! Poor innocent Koinu is just shocked out of his wits lol. I think I'm going to like this spin off as well! Very nice introduction!

Yay! This story is the absolute BOMB! You must keep going! I espeacially want more on Akisame. She is me fav character. I loved it when she escaped from the brothel. I liked how you said it was because of inutaisho's blood. She should have some mad pride in her heritage. I hope you do more on her. Your idea with the bear youkai is really creative. If they had kids they would bepart bear part human and part dog. What chacteristics would that bring up i wonder? I also want more on Saya and Masuyo please. This story just rocked my socks you are like uber creative. A lot of times i had to stop reading your story so that i could jump up and run around in circles to get rid of all my happiness energy. Wo!

There is just one thing i could say that just didn't jell. You wrote in your story about Akisame being slightly afraid of Shippo. She didn't want to scout ahead alone with him unless Koinu was with them and i could understand that. But then after that you had her and Shippo go on a long journey together alone and you didn't mention anything that happened between them. Is she over her fear of Shippo? Was she scared of him when they were traveling? She didn't even try to agrue when Inuyasha sent them alone on the trip. What went on there? That was just kind of a slip on your part. But you had so much else going on its no wonder you forgot. I just wish you hadn't neglected Akisame she is my fav character as mentioned above (winkwink)!

I really hope you keep writing. You are so crative and funny. I really enjoy reading your stories. Keep it up.

Wow... i leave this story alone forever now... then come back to this last chapter and epilogue... and still they hold the same emotional impact that the rest of the tale did in continuous reading...

I love you and your skill. Thank you for the tale.

A really nice ending, closure with so many possibilities! I really enjoy the way you bring all the small details of life into the story, all the thoughts and feelings they invoke. Your style is unique and refreshing in that way.
I like the idea of oneshots and small side stories based on Innocence and Return if you felt the inclination to do so it would be appreciated! Thanks again!!

I'm as susceptible to the next person for the "perfect happy ending", although I know there isn't any such thing. That's one of the things that makes your stories stand out, that you have your characters deal with the realities of their own legacies, and the sort of situations that were prevalent to that era (hostages, adoption into other families, internal clan power games). I haven't read every chapter, but those that I have, I have enjoyed.

I just want to say Thank You for finishing the story (to many authors leave their stories unfinish), and I enjoyed reading this story very much. I left an review in Return, hoping that this story and Return can continue so that some of these unanwered questions can be answered. If I had to make a choice on which story to write it will be number 5. I think that writing a story mainly on Masu and Saya running away can bring out all of those other stories lines that have no closure (Return and Innocence). Especially the story between Sessmom and IY dad. Looking forward to your next work and I hope that you will release that work in the next coming weeks.

nice ending. i like some of the short story ideas at the beginning of the chap (particularly inuyasha at the fertility clinic, lol). but id also like to see more of the koinu/kasai relationship, not necessarily skipping to the marriage but maybe just like a group of one-shots showing a little deepening of their relationship (like their first "date" or something). keep it up

Another great chapter

I love your works! I really want a story about Masuyo and Saya cuz they are may absolute favorite characters. The outline about them running away that you mentioned in the beginning of this chapter seems like a great idea! I really hope you do start on it and to keep writing stories and posting on this site when you can!

Inuyasha going to a fertility clinic? That can't end well. I love the interaction between Koinu and Kasai and I look forward to seeing future works involving them. Thanks for posting a nice epilogue for this story and I look forward to all your future works.

Thanks for posting all your stories and I hope you are having a nice fall.

Sincerely,

Zach

I think all your ideas sound awesome: I especially love the # 1 idea (of course!! The pairing I can't help but love immensely for some reason lol), #3, which would be hilarious, 4, 5... 6... crap, I like them all. I say just go with whatever your gut tells you to do. Or if you wrote all of them that wouldn't be a bad thing either, particularly :).

Looking forward to whatever you decide to do! Can't believe we've reached the end of this story!

that's great, really good indeed!! great work!

Where do I start?

The way you ended this tale was at times sad, (Masuyo realizing again just how much he misses his family, whatever their foibles) funny (Watching Inuyasha's brain do the equivalent of the Windows "Blue Screen Of Death" was hilarious) and touching (the dialogue between Masuyo and Saya was wonderfully handled and rang so brilliantly true)

In short: Bravo, you truly have a knack for creating characters and dialogue that are memorable and moving.

Until next time.

oh please update soon im so curious about whats gonna happen with inu and kag baby situation..to make it even more interesting and for all the trouble inuyasha is going through i think the new arrival should be twins one with black hair and blue eyes that looks like inu and one with gold eyes and white hair that looks like kags lol..talk about fun ...oh and i really wanna know what happenin at the western lands theres not enough of that going around for me... even though i know that this story wasn't really meant for that.. but still i just want to know how saya s coping with her brother and if she'll actually rebel like they think and leave the family ..wait a minute thats a whole new story in itself..how about it hehe .. (i know your like is this girl crazy??)..however if you do make a story out of it just atleast have masu with her when she does and have her somehow meet up with inu again ..maybe he can talk some sense into her again lol ..oh and im still waitin on the update for return .. and that reminds me i still have to finish reading it lol i did skip the whole middle just to know the outcome .. what can i say your stories get so good at the beginning i can't wait to get to the end lol... until next time...


tootles!
