That did it!  I'm sitting here in a puddle of tears!  Happy tears!  Keiko, the little blessing was born with NO complications.  Sesshoumaru delivered her and like my big strong hubby, cried like a big was baby!  LOL!  

I forgot about the little girl that thought Sesshoumaru and InuYasha was a statue!  That was so cute!  I'm sure when the status is complete and he tells InuYasha why he had it made, InuYasha will had him place it in the town square.  

Keiko is so precious!  You can see she'll be greatly loved by EVERYONE!I

It was wonderful to see that Nami got better.  She was just as much a victim and was in the most pain out of everyone here.  Mental instability is a pressing issue in this world.  Even though great strides have been taken to help and care for those effected and their families, some still find the subject taboo.  Again I thank you for showcasing it here!

This AMAZING story is like an old friend.  Welcomed with open loving arms, and on the verge of tears when time to say goodbye!  I know I'll be reading this over again quite often!  Until your next masterpiece!

​​​​​Excellent!  I love the background you did for Kagome and Rin.  I would guess that questions about little things, like the quiet moments with Rin had been at the back of InuYasha's mind for a long time.  But, they were always pushed to the back, or deemed as to silly to voice.  Being pregnant, like he is now, his curiosity is at the forefront more than before.  Heaven I knows dogs do LOVE snuggle time.  We have 4, and they love NOTHING more than to dogpile one another, or the kids!  On nights when my husband worked all night, they would be on my bed or huddled together on the floor by me.

Sesshoumaru's delving into the area of mental illness.  I commend you on breaching this topic.  I have close family members that suffer from some form of mental health issues, so I appreciate that you chose to shed light on the subject!  THANK YOU!

Oh those naughty horny doggies!  I swear, Sesshoumaru and InuYasha's bedroom activities are straight up PORN!  LOL... you and you're wondrous dirty mind!  I love you!!

The treaty Sesshoumaru drew up was a very generous and well thought out.  Kudos on that.

I was a bit nervous about InuYasha and Keiko.  It sounds like InuYasha's going into the early stages of labor.  It sounds like the little hime is on the move, and ready to meet her parents in person!

Its a good thing Sesshoumaru is going to keep Nami under strict supervision.  She needs help.  Her story is uniquely crushing and sad.  I hope she gets to see her children on day.  That would be a good thing for her recovery.

AWESOME all around.

BTW...  I'm so jealous!  InuYasha could see his feet!  Until 4 and a half years ago, I hadn't seen my feet in YEARS!!!!  SMDH, LOL!

Pregnancy stories!  Ha!  I could write a  tell all on pregnancy stories!  My little parasites were the funniest crumbsnatchers around.  You wouldn't believe the messes they got into, independently and as a group!

I would have been made of they did accept Kenichi's resignation.  He did what he thought was the best plan at the time.  Nami was always lurking around.  So, she would have found a way past the 2 scent id plan.  Crazy people are smart on a multitude of levels!

There are way to many points in here that I want to touch on, but I don't think I'll have enough space!

Love this!

FINALLY!  The truth is out!   Sesshoumaru IS a tactical genius!  His mind is always in overdrive thinking the situation through 10 steps ahead.  It all makes so much sense.  They'd all been fooled by Nami so completely that any decision made on their word alone, would look like revenge not justice.  Plus, the presence of Lady Claudia and the story of her adopted porcupine children out it all together.  Nami now has to face the fact, she had been so wrong for all these years!  Her grief is her downfall.

So excited!  I hope the shock of all this doesn't send InuYasha into premature labor!

I'm starting to cry over this!  All is being revealed slowly, but surely.  That poor pitiful porcupine demoness.  She wasn't evil by nature.  The presumed loss of her young had driven her quite mad over the years.  I can clearly understand her grief.  A mother's sorrow is an extremely heavy burden on the heart.  The reactions to it can be different depending on case and circumstances.

​​​​​I need lots of tissue!

B reading U!

So, Tsuneo is a one of those shape shifting porcupines!   Using his quills as arrows, that was a genius move.  Two a ninja, every part of him and all that surrounds him is a weapon!

That poor bug.  It was nothing more than an innocent bystander.  I feel bad for the insects that attacked everyone.  They had NO idea what they were doing.  They're actions were not their own.  Good thing the pill bug knocked himself out cold, or else the Inus would have probably the still guessing about the infestation.

LOL!   The fact that it took a talking bug to get Captain Luuk to stop drinking... HILARIOUS!  He lives owes the big a debt!  LOL!  

I'm on to the next chapter now!

B reading U!

BTW...  What the HELL is a pill bug anyway?  Now, I gotta look the damn thing up.  LMAF!

The perpetrator is a highly skilled ninja!  But, InuYasha raises a valuable point!  What does this person want from them?  What indeed!  I can't shake the feeling this has something to do with the coming pup!

Whoa!  Sesshoumaru has done his first task as a true practicing physician.  He set a broken bone!  He's REALLY on his way.  Even though she's a fake, she IS still a talented teacher.  It's the fact that she's up to something that's on my bad side.

I wish Ryota and his human mate, Chika, luck happiness!  Love, true love, is rare.  When you finally find it, hold on to it tightly and nuture it.  I could feel Sesshoumaru's own personal sadness as well as his joy in the memories of his own late human wife.  He and InuYasha both know how fragile and easy the bound between a demon and they're human mate will be broken by time.  They will be a great source of comfort to Ryota, when the time comes.  Visiting the final resting place of loved ones, is a peaceful time.  We just recently put flowers at the graves of our loved ones last weekend.  It had been a few years since we'd been to the graves of family members.  This year, we were determined to go.  We planted flowers, cleaned headstones, as we talked to them.  My husband even showed some pics from his phone to them.  LOL!   He's such a nut, but it was awesome when he did that.  If cells were around at the time, InuYasha would have done the same!  I love that Keiko wanted to say hello to Rin and Kagome!  Not even born yet, and already a sweet loving child!  Kagome and Rin would have spoiled her rotten!  No debate about it.  They would have been Mama Rin and Mama 'Gome for sure!  But, there would have been no Keiko if the 2 had lived, would there.  The grave site was BEAUTIFUL!  In my mind's eye, I could see the tranquil setting.  The serenity of it, with you're description, its a breathtaking view!

AWESOME!!!!  The falcon Youkai guard lived!!!!  I'm happy about that!  Losing him memories when he was injured makes sense.  He fell from a fantastic height after all!  If I recall correctly, traces of his blood was found on an arrow that was high in a tree!  It's by the grace of God he wasn't killed!  But, what danger is he talking about?  I know it has to do with the fake Nana!  

This has been so AWESOME!!!!  I can hardly wait for the next chapter!  I'm on pins and needles!!!!

Okay, that fire looked really suspicious for a moment.  However, accidents do happen.  I'm glad that's all it was.  

Oh, InuYasha has a baby bump!  So cute!  I'm glad Sesshoumaru noticed it for what it was, his reaction to it was cute!  It was a lot better than my husband's was when my very first baby bump showed itself.  My man DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE!  That made me so mad then!  I didn't speak to him for 3 days!  3 head scratching nervous days!  LOL!

The chef is a character!  Sulking because InuYasha wasn't eating his food like he normally did.  Pretty soon, the expecting Lords are going to have to make an extremely important announcement.  Keiko will NOT remain a secret for long!  What is worrying me is Nana.  Was that the REAL Nana, or was that the imposter?  I know the imposter wouldn't hurt a child, but would she steal one?

Well done.  

B reading U!

FINALLY!  A chapter with just some good old fashioned alone time, with the insanely happy royal pair!  It's been awhile since they did it in the woods!  LOL!

It was awesome to witness the moment of Sesshoumaru's great epiphany!  The moment from Ever Us when it touched on how he explained to InuYasha how he's personal feelings about becoming a great doctor and how he felt it to be a calling, his true calling!  How healing with his sword made him feel inside.  I suspect these are things he'd NEVER told Rin, but he's been feeling them all along!  Thank you for this, it was well timed!  Another connection to the main body, it linked perfectly!

B reading U! 

Yet another modern world influence has been introduced.  Water filtering.  And, Sesshoumaru's vision for the new clinic.  Him and his mate working together as healers!  The future is one step closer!

Now we're getting to the REAL of it!  The entrance of Hiroshi is awesome!  Now, we have a source of origin!  A small band of young tanuki demons doing what ALL youngsters do... REBEL!  What they wanted to do wasn't bad per say.  They just went about things the wrong way.  And, the elders were a bit to set in their ways and closed minded to see the advantages the youngest saw.  Miscommunication and misunderstandings that's what ALL of this seems to boil down too!  Amazing what one stupid feud and l bit of water damage can do!

One thing is bothering me now.  No one seems to think Nana's sudden disappearance is odd?  I mean InuYasha thought about it for a second, but it went outta his head just as soon.  

​​​​​​Odd.

Damn straight Mr. Advisor!  Watch what you say about foxes!  Especially, about cute little Fox kits like InuYasha's grandkits! 

A traveling shape shifting Tanuki taught a she porcupine the art of shape shift 50 years ago!  So, if I'm reading this right, the 'Missy' had left her home, and in her grief began to just wander around.  She would have never known that her baby porcupines survived the flood waters!  Or the fact that they were adopted by a fun-loving karate expert she otter.  Said otter took them back up river towards their home, but because it seemed time meant NOTHING to her.  So, she and the porcupines doddled along for years!

Its all getting clearer now.  The sad tale of the porcupine mother, it was a series of ill timed events!  And now, some sort of half-assed twisted plot of revenge for her loss has been hatched from it!  Damn!!!!  This is CRAZY!!!

Onto the next chapter!
