You know....one side of me also kind of wants to get Inuyasha out of the way....but....oh no...I hope you won't hate me in the future chapters. Well, no spoilers! *mentally kicks myself* I can't release any direction to where the story will go~ But....don't feel guilty AT ALL! *giggles*
I'm so glad every chapter so far has gotten your attention and emotion. *phew* and I'm glad to hear that I have yet to disappoint you!
Thanks for your awesome review~
My heart goes out for Sesshomaru as well! Trust me! *sobs*

*Dancing around*
I'm SOO glad you liked this chapter. I wanted to portray their relationship moving closer in the best way I know they are able to. I mean, You totally understand Sesshomaru! He isn't the type to talk as much...so he WOULD do things by actions more. And also, I'm so glad to hear that you liked the involvement of the flowers and nature. I feel that they are beautiful elements to their relationship. And of course, who else would Sesshomaru reveal so much to other than nature? Thank you so much for your review, it definitely keeps me going! Thanks Heather-san!

I am honored to hear that "The Hime Tradition" has received the most review from you, Rose-san! Thank you! And, I'm so glad you pointed out that the fight scene was well 'executed' for this type of fight...because Kagome wasn't fighting to win, merely proving her powers... So it wasn't expected to have much action during the match. I'm glad you caught onto that and complimented it for what is was. *giggles* and the tolerance between sesshomaru and Inuyasha, I'm sure you're the only one that's pointed it out so far~! Indeed, there is some tolerance..but let's see how long that will last *smirk*
Thanks for another awesome review!

*squeals* ^0^
I'm SOOOO SOOO SOOOOOOO happy about your review! Rose-san!!!! I thank you for pointing out how you like the slow (subtle acceptances) Relationship building between Sesshomaru and Kagome!! I want their relationship to be based on some solid chemistry and strong connection. It wouldn't make the story as good if they didn't establish that kind of connection..don't you think so too?
And I'm glad that you write out your understanding of the chapter! It really helps me know how much you get out from the chapter! Ah~ the fight between the 'Sho' leader and Kagome will not be an easy one....
And hopefully the next chapter will not be a disappointment too!
Thank you for your review!

*giggles* I love how you incorporated the 'Tug' in your review.
There is definitely a backlash to Kagome's decision...of course. I will have fun writing that, dear reader~
Thank you for the constant motivation and inspiration!

"On point! On point, dear reader" the author exclaims excitedly. *giggles* You are correct about the subtle acceptances both the demon scoiety and Sesshomaru has of Kagome. I'm glad you captured Sesshomaru's disbelief at Kagome's ability to influence other ranks! That was Sesshoamru's hardened heart thinking that way, and of course Kagome just has to go and do the unexpected! Thank you for calling the "Hime TraditioN" a 'charming' story! ^0^ and I feel so reassured that I haven't disappointed you yet~

*cries tears of joy*
I'm so glad the last chapter was able to bring about a calmness within you...as I read that part....I felt so happy because that moment was precious...a turning point!
Thank you so much for also pointing out Sesshomaru's character. I am relieved and honored to read that I've stayed true to his character! *YES!*
Thank you and thank you, I can't seem to express my gratitude in words alone. Your review for "The Hime Tradition" is cherished.

*smiles*
Yes, only 6 chapters, and I am pleased to hear that you already like the story. That really means a lot to me. I love how you pointed out Kagome's character as confident...yet delicate on how to manage situations. ^_^ I hope I have kept up in balancing the two.
And no worries about the next chapter. (sorry for the late update for this chapter though...yes...5 days in considered as late to me).
I will be posting the next few chapters today and tomorrow!

I am so happy to hear that the Masked Truth is so loved and favoured! I cant wait to continue to post chapters for The Hime tradition! But...i would like to thank you for your support and views to the end! I truly appreciate you! ^_^ your heart warming reviews are what keep me going.

Oh Thank you for leaving such a heart warming review on "The Masked Truth". I am so glad that you thought the ending was okay (It was a crucial chapter). And I am also sad to see the story ending so soon. Thank you for reading my other story, and I hope that the future chapters will not disappoint you! It encourages me to know that the first chapter of "The Hime Tradition" was able to interest you ^_^.
Thank you once again!
