Thank you for sticking with me to the weird end of this story. I did contemplate a sequel where he realized just how right she was, and how boring his life would be, and decided to stalk her in the underworld to have another round, but I dunno. Maybe later, much later, when I'm in the mood for dark things again.

Thank you for all your lovely reviews!!

Thank you for reading and reviewing "Blood Moon"! Glad you're enjoying the little snippets!

This is actually a one-shot, but I split it into 10 parts to fit the prompts, heighten the suspense, and make readers hate me, basically. It is finished, though, so expect an update each day as I go through editing.

Thank you for your review on First Snow! I was thinking about making her bad, but then I was thinking like "Oh I need a tragic scene or something to make her evil." lol. I didn't want to make her too OOC.

Oh, don't worry - Kouga isn't up for a couple chapters yet, and when he does try his hand at being an idiot Kagome handles him just fine, lol.

Well, what that meant about not forcing her is that he won't force himself on her, not that he won't make her stay in the past if she keeps fighting him. But it won't come to that, and things are going to start getting more intense in the next couple chapters of Nefarious.

Thanks for reading!

As for the original fiction, I have posted the prologue of the first part, called The Breaking, and a little of the first chapter on my Deviantart account. The story will be a two-parter, but I haven't decided on the overall title of the story yet, just the sub-titles of each part. Part two will be titled Resurrecting Dawn. As I said, it is a supernatural/fantasy/romance. If you want to check it out, my deviantart is: http://kanna37.deviantart.com/

Enjoy your evening!

Oh, I'm probably going to keep to canon on how Sesshoumaru gets Bakusaiga still. As for Shippo not smelling the courting mark - he has, but he and Kirara are muddling the scents so Inuyasha doesn't go off the deep end, as we find out in the next chapter of Nefarious.

Amber

Oh, there's no doubt that Kagome's in for a tense and difficult time trying to figure out what she really wants, especially with Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's constant fighting to confuse the issue. But some understanding of the daiyoukai is soon to come to Kagome... tempting her towards him even more.

Amber

I'm actually working on chapter eight of Nefarious, and Kagome's beginning to give in - a little. She's still fighting herself, though, but it's half-hearted at best. But no worries - the story isn't over by a long shot, and be expecting non-canon events and curves, because they are coming.

Amber

Thank you for reading and reviewing the first two chapters of Nefarious! As for Sesshoumaru wanting Kagome to be happy, right now he's still of the mindset that all she needs to be happy is him. Arrogant, and we all know he is. That will change as we go alone, of course, though only so much, because Sesshoumaru will always be Sesshoumaru.

Amber

Don't say that out loud, Kagome says Sesshoumaru is already arrogant enough without people agreeing with him, lol. Thanks for reviewing It's a Dog's World, the Titanic chapter.
