Just so you know, this is the third or fourth time I have read this story over the course of a couple of weeks. It's everything I love in a Miroku/Kagome story. Your wit and humor really make it shine. "You forgot stinky-butt." "It was implied." Brilliant! And "So, anyway, a funny thing happened on the way back from the well." Love the way Miroku faced off with Kouga, but I am definitely feeling for Kagome being ambushed like that.

This was an amazing chapter! The fight between Miroku and Inuyasha was so well-written. Bravo! And Inuyasha got to come out of the whole thing looking like he had some sense and intelligence. "Look out, Miroku! I'm coming to kill you!" I died laughing when I read that part. The male bonding time in the shed was excellent, too. Inuyasha telling him that no one can screw up a plan like Kagome was pure gold. I can't wait to see Kagome's reaction to their fight and the decisions they made regarding her. She just might have something to say about it.

Time to face the music and pay the piper, Miroku. I really love the way you've written all of this from Miroku's POV, and we've seen how his feelings have grown, but he's still assuming certain things about Kagome's feelings. I'm going to hate seeing him take his lumps in the next chapter.

Miroku's humor about the bandits "pestering" the countryside, and his lamentations that he wished Kagome were there because Sango and Inuyasha just didn't get it sum up my feelings exactly. This whole story is pure genius.

Your talent for dialogue knows no bounds. Every comment and conversation is just right.

I absolutely adore Miroku and Kagome's banter! I've always thought they suited each other much better than the canon pairings. Your writing makes me smile!

You have Miroku's character down so perfectly in this. His thoughts and the way he speaks-it all just flows so smoothly.

I read this many years ago, and I still love it every bit as much today.

God I remember reading this an eternity ago. I almost thought I hallucinated this story, i’m so happy i found it again and could enjoys the laughs. Its very well written, funny and i really enjoy the Mirokags pairing. I’m sad to see that it looks essentially abandoned, but such is life. A myriad of things could have happened to keep you from writing, and i hope you are doing well. In the meantime, I’ll keep this story on my favorite and follows list incase you do come back!

I loved

yeah, you put her in her place, monk! I like that you made sure he confirmed she knew what she was doing. I feel like as lecherous as miroku is, he really is a great guy!

You had me crying with "You were supposed to marry her first daughter, little Suzumi." Oh dear, that bit was so funny. I enjoyed the story very much.

Cute!

*pouts* Why'd ya have to leave us hanging? This story is so good, it's really too bad you haven't finished it. Do you have any plans to adopt it out? It'd be a shame to leave this masterpiece unfinished? Or is it finished, an imagine your own ending, forgot to switch it to "Complete" kind of deal?:-) Still very good, though:-)

Come on, don't leave us hanging! Btw, rofl on IY's summarizing. : )
