The quote "No matter how savory the meat’s been prepared, the bones of truth run under the surface,"  is now one of my favorites! In my Historiography class we've come to the conclusion that history has bones. This quote finishes the while lesson with perspective-the meat. Where did you find this or did you come up with it?

::Shakes the screen into compliance:: MORE! MORE! MORE! i wuv you

:D  This stroy made me smile.  I look forward to the next installment.

I LOVE IT!!!!! I'm starting to wonder what hopes Hisoka was talking about. I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it's true. Is Sess hoping to keep her forever and ever...as his mate? I can't wait for the next chapter! Until then, may your muse visit soon and often.

Oh wow, poor Kags, she's getting homesick.well done, please continue.

Wow, this is the longest chapter yet. By your normal chapter length, it would probably fill in 3 chapters. Thanks for the great chapter. It always puts a smile on my face when i read your story. Its so heart warming but down to earth. Poor Kagome though. Stuck in the house and in a time thats not your own for so long. Sesshoumaru is so cute. I look forward to your next chapter.

Wow, that was a nice long chapter.  I wondered when Kagome was going to start missing home and get depressed.  I wonder what Hisoka believes Sesshoumaru has planned for Kagome.  I guess the little boy thinks he can keep her forever.  It's so sad. 

Sesshoumaru was right.  Hisoka did a good job.  It was funny that he couldn't understand all of her writing/references.  ^_^  I like that you refrained from having the General keep a large library.  It's refresshing. 

The way Sesshoumaru came rushing back was so cute.  I can just imagine how thrilled he was to be hearing about his father's feats.  It was interesting that Hisoka played a part in the negotiations with the dragon.  Too bad that Kagome can't warn the Taisho and Sesshoumaru about him.

Very nice chapter.

Ooooh, I love this little Sesshy, I love the way he is fascinated by Kagome.  It is just so perfect, cute, noble, and spiced with the tease of wondering what changes we will see in the future version of Sesshomaru when Kagome finally makes it back to the feudal era...

it's always such fun to read unspoiled. seshomaru as a kid beats seshomaru as a doting mate.great job!

Forthy, sometimes when I read one of your chapters it's like taking a refreshing drink of cool water on a hot day, other times it's like having eaten a good, filling meal, then there are the occasions that leave me feeling like you've given me a lovely sweet snack! This chapter comes under the filling meal category, full of information and a look to the future, and so very well presented. I could spend days just reading your stories.

And you know me, I found a few things:

The hours spent in the pavilion felt empty, and as the [the] place Kagome

Hugging her new [readying] reading material to her chest, Kagome smiled and breathed, “Thank you.”

He’s so fresh from the baths[,];

I really like the story, it is very interesting and funny. Can't wait for the next chapter

Very interesting! I would love to read more when you get around to it. ^_^

Awsome, I truley can't wait to read more! thankyou for the hard and good work.

Oh, snap.

Well, now you got me thinking in a completely different direction.

Darn you.

Hum I wonder if kagome has caught another Inu's interest?  I wonder now if Sesshoumaru's father will now take a personal interest in her and because of her quirks and personality he comes to a point that his views or distain for humans softens.  Setting him up for the future to met and fall in love with Inuyasha's mother and without having met Kagome he would have never given her a second thought because of his current view of humans being unchange by Kagome.  I love this story it is so great and orginal.  Please update soon and can you surprise is with a really long chapter like the first ones! 

well at least his opion of her might change. :D

Can't wait to see where this leads.

>:l stupid papa! omg he's so very inuyasha like i want to smack him! you do well with your character creating but omg can i beat up papa? he's getting on my nerves >:l

Yay!! Very cute!! keep up the good work!! Update when you can :D

huh? <confused frown> what riddle? and what's with the quote?

I do not know how you could cut this back to 300 words. As with so many of your little vignettes, every word has its value as a part of the whole. I do love how you wove "keh" and "hnn" into the story. My first thought was, oh, that's where they got it from! LOL! And, for a second, I was tortured with the idea that you would make Kagome into Izayoi, but I dismissed that one. She is Higurashi and would not allow herself to fall into that role. Not the Higurashi that you are creating. She is not weak, never weak, and that is part of her charm.

I found 1 (one) thing only: “When [in] it pleases him to do so,” I can only believe that you are trying to help cure me of my OCD, and I thank you.
