Poor Inuyasha, LOL. First that one crazy peddler, now this
peddler, who's even been there before and knows of Inuyasha
already! But, I suppose, we can excuse his delirium because of the
fever, and we already know the crazy peddler probably wove one hell
of a tail. Wonder if it was that poor child he helped that got him
sick? And they said there was a fever going around. Sure hope it
doesn't spread into something bad. Any of Daikoku's good luck still
hanging around? LOL. That's just too funny. 'Get the guard',
'You're looking at him' LOL. Wonderful first day on the job, ne,
Inuyasha? Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Oh dear, now what's happened? LOL, well, Inuyasha will definitely
earn his stripes. It's good that he agreed to become an official
member of the guard. He'd help out if the shit really hit the fan
anyway, so may as well make it official. Not that there's very
many, if any, people left in the village who still have a problem
with him, but it does also help give him a leg to stand on as far
as status and power goes. People *do* have to listen to him, at
least when it's his turn wielding the club. Of course technically,
he's higher status anyway, not that the naysayers paid his status
any attention. It's just so cool seeing him act like a part of the
community he is in fact a part of. I can understand how it still
feels a little weird to him, like when he realized they were just
teasing him about being late. He definitely had a good excuse for
why he was late, though, LOL. The opening scene was cute, too.
Damn...so close and yet so far, LOL. Now Kagome has to wait a whole
month to play with his human ears again. He better not think she'll
forget, either, LOL. All in all, a lovely little chapter. Looking
forward to seeing what happens next!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.. . So sweet! The opening bit with
Sesshoumaru was good, too. A little bit of insight. He doesn't even
realize how long he's staying away from Rin's perspective. Time
passes differently for youkai than humans, after all. Back with
Inu/Kag... AWWW! LOL. Seriously though, cute scene. So glad
they finally got to enjoy a new moon alone together. And with a
thunderstorm going on, no less. Awesome! I'm a sucker for a good
nighttime thunderstorm. Anyway, so awesome update, and keep up the
good work!

Awww...lovely update. I love everything from the subtle information
on flowers (most lilies are indeed poisonous, especially to cats),
Kagome and Inuyasha's mature moment as she briefly brought up
Kikyou, to their speculations about Sesshoumaru and Rin. A
wonderful little scene of peace and calm. It was definitely a good
idea to avoid Tameo's place if they were discussing the peddler. I
can't blame Inuyasha for wanting to just put all that behind him
and forget about it. Looking forward to when the new moon night
gets here! :-)

Awwww... Lovely update! So nice, the way you wove in that status
update on both Chiya and Maeme. Chiya was just being a spoiled
brat, so it looks like she finally learned her lesson and has
sucked it up, acting like the mature woman she ought to be. Quite
possible that one day, she might even look back on how much of a
bitch she used to be and actually realize she had been the one in
the wrong. Maeme...SO glad to know that she's doing okay, and maybe
even more than okay from the sound of things. If anyone
deserves it, she does. Lovely, lovely update. :-)

Cute update. Dang noisy bird, LOL, though I guess it was for the
best since Inuyasha got to speak with Miroku for a second before
they left town. I love all the little back and forth banter you
have Inuyasha participate in. He's come such a long way from the
closed off, lonely boy he used to be. Now he's a man, and a
husband, and part of a community. Definitely looking forward to
'tonight', in story time. Keep up the awesome work!

Comment/Review:
I'm falling behind, shame on me! I blame Halloween weekend for
distracting me. I completely brain farted that Thursday's chapter
even existed, and as eager as I was to read your update yesterday
'real life' got in the way. What a pleasant surprise to find I have
two chapters to read this morning before leaving for work.
Chapter 299 was very sweet. So glad they finally made it home okay
and all the little details you threw in were just lovely. Subtle
things, like mentioning the fire in the firepit, which under normal
circumstances is supposed to be left burning even during the
summer. I loved Inuyasha's feeling of 'home' - he deserves it. And
Kagome made him a summer kosode? Awwww... Beige and blue plaid
sounds pretty. He can't be in fire-rat red all the time.
Their light joking of if he had stripped down to his fundoshi
during the shard quest was funny. I bet they weren't too far off on
what would have happened with Miroku and Sango, LOL. As for chapter
300 - and congrats on the big 300, by the way! - what a sweet
chapter it was. Awwwww, nice and WAFFy. Poor Rin. Even knowing
she'll eventually get her own happily ever after, it's sad to watch
her now as a child, lonely and missing Sesshoumaru so much. I guess
it's not really the daiyoukai's fault he perceives time
differently, but he definitely could make the effort to see
her more often, for her sake, even if to him the visits would seem
ridiculously frequent. It doesn't matter if to his perspective he
just saw her (last month), he needs to realize she's human
and do things according to her perception of time. Ah well,
that's a worry for another day I guess. At least Kagome cheered Rin
up in the meantime. Looks like Inu/Kag are about to enjoy some nice
rabbit for dinner, and then each other for dessert, LOL. Looking
forward to tomorrow's update... And I'll try to read it on time
this time!

Awww...sweet update. I'd forgotten about Chika, silly me, but was
glad to see you'd thought about who would cat-sit while they were
away. Funny how Chika was jealous of Kirara. Just because she's not
demonic anymore doesn't mean her advanced intelligence left her. Oh
no, that Chika is a smart one. I think all cats are pretty smart to
begin with, but as a bakeneko she could *talk* and you know she
wouldn't forget a language skill once acquired; she understands
every word being said to and around her. Glad to see Kohaku's doing
all right. I bet it does still haunt him at times, but what's done
is done and nothing was really his fault. He's doing the right
thing, being a taijiya, working now to save as many lives as
possible. Can't bring back the ones already dead, but there could
be a whole lot more people dead in the future without him there to
save them, so every time he slays a troublesome youkai that
would've destroyed a village, that's added to his karma. He'll
atone, one day. Poor Inuyasha, smart Miroku, LOL. It's like jeeze,
do they have to spell it out for everyone, that they want to be
alone on the new moon night, just the two of them? LOL. Never hurts
to have ofuda on hand though, I suppose. Never know when those
might come in handy. Hope Inuyasha doesn't take Kagome's statement
the wrong way. It's not like she really needed to be away from
*him* for a while, she just needed quiet and boring for a while.
It's amazing she wasn't a total PTSD case and was able to do well
in school and act normally around her friends, after everything she
lived through. Anyway, looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Looks like pretty soon here we're gonna have some new moon snuggle
time, so definitely looking forward to that. :-)

Still chuckling about that stupid peddler. Figures that after the
miko told him off, and told him 'the youkai' was her husband, he'd
still go and tell those boys that there was a monster about to eat
the children. Once somebody's got it in their head that the people
siding with the youkai are merely possessed, and that dark magic
has warped everyone's minds, there's no convincing them otherwise.
I thought it was a really nice touch that it didn't even dawn on
the boys that the peddler was talking about Inuyasha. I would say
'good riddance' but there's no getting rid of people with that kind
of attitude. At least their village is peaceful once again, for
now. And what perfect timing! Weren't Inu/Kag just wondering about
how they could go about having the new moon night all to
themselves? Well, now they don't have to be the ones to broach the
subject, asking Miroku and the others to stay away because they
want the privacy. That certainly worked out in everyone's favor.
Also love that you commented on Kohaku using a youkai-forged
weapon. I think everyone made a good point, though. Tessaiga is
youka-forged, made to protect humans, and even though the taijiya
created it, Hiraikotsu is made from youkai bones - and
apparently has sentient youkai spirits within it if that one arc of
the manga with the sage youkai and his vats of sake is anything to
go by. Looks like we're about to have some WAFFy Inu/Kag moments
coming up pretty soon here. Looking forward to it!

At least the peddler didn't turn into another Morio. Too funny! I
can see why Koichi was amused, but on the other hand I can see why
Kagome and Inuyasha weren't. It's one thing to get that sort of
thing while out on the road, but in their own home village? And
like Hisa said, they're known all throughout Musashi, so any locals
from any of the nearby neighboring villages know just who Inuyasha
is and they'd walk into Kaede's village knowing in advance that he
lived there. That guy was a tad touched in the head, I'd say. He
certainly didn't know when to shut up, LOL. I think Kagome handled
it very well, under the circumstances. I wonder if this was an eye
opener for some of the locals as far as what Inuyasha's had to deal
with his whole life until now, and maybe it'll help them realize
why he's as closed off as he is, and is as slow as he is to coming
around and being friendly with them all. I think all things
considered, Inuyasha's really come a long way, able to joke with
the guys on occasion, and having agreed to take up being on the
village guard. He's an active member of the community, and now for
the first time some of the people he's gotten close to have
experienced just why it is that becoming a member of the community
was a hard transition for him to make. Good chapter! Poor Inuyasha,
just barely getting home and then this. Home is supposed to be a
safe haven away from all that crap. Kagome's going to have to kiss
and make it better ;-).

Uh-oh...and just when I thought this was a nice and calm, easy
going chapter, LOL. Even Inuyasha's not as used to that reaction
anymore these days, although on the other hand the villagers' open
acceptance of him was still weird. I bet he bristled, stiffening
up, but in his mind was thinking something along the lines of 'here
we go again' or what have you. Kagome I can just imagine, LOL. Look
out! Pissed off Kagome coming through! Will she keep her cool?
She's not the same fly off the handle fifteen-year-old she used to
be. My Kagome would narrow her eyes, and with tight lips would
calmly, with a dangerous glow in her eyes, tell the man that she is
not purifying her husband. After all, they aren't in
somebody else's village where they might want to keep their
relationship on the down low. That, I could completely understand,
pretending he's just her youkai protector, an inugami of sorts. But
this man is in their village. On a side note, it's so funny
how we use the word 'purify' to mean 'kill'. Basically he was
saying, oh there's a man that looks like a youkai, I don't know
anything about your village whatsoever and nobody around seems to
be concerned but that can't possibly be right so yes, you must
murder him immediately without asking questions, LOL. I wonder what
Susumu, Koichi and everyone else's reactions are going to be? After
all, it's not just Kagome and Inuyasha there, but a bunch of other
people too, people who all call Inuyasha friend. Even if they just
try to calm the frantic man down as if his panic is understandable,
going 'it's okay, it's okay, Inuyasha is a good youkai,'
somebody with that strong of a reaction at first sight probably
wouldn't be calmed down too easily going 'oh, you know him? Oh all
right then.' This ought to be interesting...

Another amazing chapter. Was the italicized area part of a
one-shot? It looked familiar and I've been rereading a lot of your
work recently. Just a thought, it might be nice to put a link to
the interconnected stories when they come up at the end. That way
if someone hasn't read it they can read it again. I can't wait for
next week's chapters.

Good update! I love how you incorporated that old New Moon one-shot
into this one. That's always been one of my favorites of your many,
many one-shots. I don't reread most of them, but that one I've
reread at least a couple of times. I know more or less those
one-shots represent the same universe as this story, although they
were like a trial run since that was so long ago and now
this is the final, official product. I hadn't even really
known when in the timeline that scene was supposed to have taken
place. So nice to see it woven in as having taken place during your
time jump. Yay! And you made it make sense in regard to that
bakeneko having been seeking revenge for Chika. Neat twist. You are
so very good at weaving, after all. And LOL on Inuyasha actually
being pickled out. I didn't think it was possible! I bet eating all
that vinegar while out on the road really does have health
benefits, and I'd like to say I'd rather eat the vinegar than be
sick, but even so, I think I'd definitely be ready for a change
once I was back home, too. Looking forward to seeing what happens
next!

Awwww...sweet little reunion chapter. I'm not surprised at all that
they ended up collapsing onto the floor in a pile of clothing. Back
in the day, Inuyasha never knew what he was missing, but now that
he's got a wife waiting for him at home? Adds a whole new, much
more important reason why he'd get frustrated with his trips with
Miroku. If you don't count ye olde Bake Neko arc then I think this
marks his first trip away from home since Kagome came back, and
regardless of how many chapters it actually took to get through
that other day, it was only a single day in story time. He
wasn't gone over night, like he was this time, for several
nights. Glad they both made it back safe and sound, Inuyasha and
Miroku, not that I imagine there's too many things they couldn't
handle. I guess it really was all meant to be, and a good
thing they were there, since they did save that guy's
daughter, and were rewarded handsomely for it, too. All's well that
ends well. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Lovely chapter! I especially liked Inuyasha unable to resist
running to Kagome, grabbing her and spinning around like a love
sick fool, even right in front of Miroku. That would've been
downright inappropriate behavior in the village proper, but in
front of Miroku we all know it's okay. Still though, for Inuyasha
to be okay with showing that level of affection in front of
anyone, especially someone who loves to tease like Miroku
does, that really shows us not only how much Inuyasha has matured,
but how much he really loves Kagome. And proving he himself has
also matured, Miroku didn't even tease...Daitaro did. LOL, good ol'
Daitaro! I also loved the quick reference to kitsune lore, because
they do indeed exploit sexual tricks. Male kitsune, especially,
will take female form to seduce human men. It was cute the way
Shippou was like uh, I gotta go, LOL. He's not there yet, but he
will be someday. I bet he'll practice on Miroku first, LOL. But
that's fun for a few years down the road, story time. Even with
your time jump it's only been what, a couple of months since Kagome
arrived? Maybe three at the latest? We've still got a LOT of story
ahead of us, in this fabulous soap opera of yours. I can't wait!
