So I got another chapter pushed out. Yay me. Gah, 8000+ words. Can I plead that as my excuse for almost always taking a month or more to update? Please? haha, jk.
This chapter was kind of fun to write, but I think I've discovered it's just much easier for me to write Inuyasha and Kagome's interaction as opposed to societal politics of any sort. I

I was very pleased with this chapter! Initially I found really strange for Inuyasha to leave the shrine like that. I thought about some chapters ago and how scared (even if I'm not sure scared is the right word here) about going among other people.
But still, Inuyasha is very implulsive in the anime and this story was always in character so I coulnd't truly find something to object in the way you portrayed him.
Loved the restroom scene. It felt like inuyasha was just a little kid in need of some much needed love. I want to give him an hug there!
And the previous exchange:
He must be a damn good lay!”
She didn’t even pause as she answered, “The best"
made my fist bump the air in cheers for Kagome!
I'm so eager to read about miroku in the next chapter but I expect a lot of action between ours two...I already prepared my shiny new waterproof kayboard for it!
So, do you think you can make a little christmas present for all of us?
And about the plot device, even if you end up not using it, I would like to read it (or them, if there are gonna be others). You can think about write it like a oneshot or sosmething like that when SP will be over...

I don't know how much I'll really delve into the relationship between Miroku/Sango in this story just because so much is already invested in the current storyline that it might feel like a detour instead of an addition. Not sure, still fiddling around with it though. This couple does need some more love though so if I don't get to put in enough of them here I have a two-shot planned for them (completely unrelated) and another story on the backburner that'll get to that.
But that's really when I get closer to finishing this. Not sure I'd keep on track if I started a new story.(I tend to get excited about new, shiny things and worry I might 'forget' about SP for a while...don't really want to do that, so yeah.)
And the plot device - oi. Looks like I'll end up using it regardless. I just hope it doesn't come across as cliche. Now I just have to figure out how to write it as such. Haha.
And I just have to add - as far as the 'impulsive' Inuyasha bit - he's just always struck me as the kind of character that is extremely self-defensive but if anyone ever gets under that shell, even just a bit, that he'll give up anything to protect them. In this situation if he had even an inkling of worry about Kagome's safety or circumstances I don't doubt he'd throw aside his own safety (and sanity) just on the offchance something was wrong. But that's just entirely my interpretation. Sorry it threw you at first though but I must admit I'm glad you came around ^_-
Anyhow, wow this has turned into a storybook all its own. I'm glad you liked the chapter overall though and hope to get the next chapter out by Christmas. Unfortunately I'm having trouble with the very first scene, the one that starts to introduce (not that anyone will probably notice - it's just the setup) the plot device I was so antagonistic toward so it's being a pain in my patootie. Ah well, as soon as I get that out of the way the rest will be a breeze so here's hoping!
Ciao
