these are really good oneshots, i think you should write more.

aw...kawaii!p

Sesshomaru has done well, but so have you! (that sounds really cheezy but I'm being honest) I can only hope that there will be more Taiyoukai Stripes, so please keep writing :)

Santorsola XD

*smile* You do have me blushing with all this praise! But thank you very much (I'm not so deserving).

Anyway, I thought this chapter was well planned as it juxtaposes Sesshomaru's new found affections for Rin and how they carry on into the future with the overall tying up of the Sesshomaru-tachi. Simple but perfectly sweet. Perhaps a second set of stories are in order?

Keep writing!

that was execlent well written. the characters stayed true. i will miss your penmanship. but all good great thing will come to an end. you never know the next might be better. chao

I always think short's cute and gives the writer the opportunity to be more poignant in his/her work. You did a fine job with that here on this much wondered topic.

I look forward to the final stripe.

Yes, Sesshomaru OOC-ness (he talks more through actions than words), but it was cute and worth it! Rin's last line really fits.

Sidenote, in Japanese there are no such things as plurals. "Hana" can mean one flower or a cluster depending on context.

Poor Jaken always gets the brunt! Ah, but he gets to stay! :D

The Japanese dialogue kind of disrupts the reading when used in long spurts, but helps for a cultural feel.

I loved it! Sure, Sessy wouldn't normally go and outright say he loves Rin, but it's very kawaii. 'Emotions'(other than that cool and collected rage) are what Sesshoumaru's learning from his ward, love being the formost, in my opinion. Keep it up!

nice...

This is a great little fic! For Japanese learners such as myself, it was awesome to not need the translations list to understand this, so keep it up! ...I guess Jaken can really be useful...sometimes. Santo
