Beautiful ending! Stupid freakin' real life meant it took me over a year to finish reading this blasted thing, LOL, but I'm SO glad I finally just made myself take the time to sit down and finish reading it. Well done!

I was just thinking about her new pregnancy and was wondering if you were going to mention it again and then I immediately knew that's where this one was going. Good job!

Awwwwwww...

At first I was thinking Raiden should have just gone with her to Tai's school, if he wasn't busy otherwise, but it worked out so much better that he wasn't there, so she could pull her little stunt. Also a good thing their school principal is a bat-youkai, LOL.

Well done!

Why can't random black cats adopt ME? LOL

I was confused at first since the note says this takes place a few days after Possession but I think you must've meant a few hours. At any rate, YAY! I'm so glad that's all been sorted now.

I really, really, REALLY like Raiden, and I seriously hope that Daisuke has finally taken the hint.

Serves him right. Jeez! This one actually had me tearing up a bit! Love Raiden a lot more, though. So glad it's turned out he has a crush on Izayoi too, and the way he held his ground in front of Inuyasha? That one's a keeper.

Awwwwwwwww...

Awwwww, okay that explains all that, then. Definitely glad Kikyou is also happily married. Since Izayoi was obviously named after Inuyasha's mother, it stands to reason that back when he and Kikyou had been together and talking about starting a family, that would have been the name they'd agreed to for their own future daughter, as well, so her reaction to his kids' names makes sense. Tai might've also already been a chosen boy name; I just hope it was because it was Inuyasha's favorite, and not Kikyou's, LOL. I don't see Inuyasha doing that to Kagome, naming their kids what *Kikyou* wanted THEIR kids to be named. Those were their agreed upon kids' names because *Inuyasha* wanted them. But I can still see it being a slap in the face to Kikyou since that had, once upon a time, been *their* fantasy of a family together, but hey she's the one who decided she wanted to go backpacking across the world after school instead of staying to settle down with him. Like I said, I'm just glad she's happily married now, did just move back to town because of her own nostalgia, and now in no way intends to cause hardship for Inuyasha and Kagome. So that's fine then, hopefully they can all become good friends. Also love that bit at the end about Kagome conceiving their third kid!

I can't remember the rules surrounding Kikyou in this universe. Did Inuyasha actually think she was dead? Or is she just his ex-girlfriend from before? Safe to assume Kikyou had no idea that was Inuyasha's house, LOL. What, is she new to the neighborhood and was doing that friendly "Hi! I just moved in next door. Here's a pie!" shtick? LOL, definitely an "oh my god" moment, but we all know Inuyasha only has eyes for Kagome, at least nowadays.

LOL, I knew Inuyasha wasn't going to forget about Raiden.

LOL, yes it is! And poor Tai. I realized what was wrong before Inuyasha did, and you want to laugh but how can you in the face of such utter heartbreak? That poor, poor sweet baby.

Oh what a wonderful and cute ending! Izayoi and Raiden are just so adorable experiencing their first babysteps of love. Very very cute and I hope your going to give us more of them in future stories. I really like these two characters and how you developed them.
