Feeling the Love

:D I have 9 reviews on fanfiction.net and 4 reviews on mediaminer, plus two more reviews on fanfiction.net on different chapters! So, in all, since the last chapter was posted, I have gotten 15 reviews. FIFTEEN! Holy cow, it has been such a long time since I've gotten so many replies! Woohoo! I feel awesome. I wasn't expecting such a huge response! I've been debating the reason why, so I can, of course, replicate it. :D First, the chapter was 3 whole pages longer than average. That most likely helped, even if just a little. And, I left a cliffhanger again. :D Don't worry all you readers out there who want Kagome to kick some ass, the next chapter she should. :D Granted, it might not work out that way, but I want her to gain some leverage, so here it comes, boy, here - it - comes. :D I also revealed a lot of the past. Not too many people commented on that, so I must wonder if I did as good a job as I wanted. Was it shocking enough? Hm, who knows? Did all of you have it figured out when you read it? I hope not. It seemed new to me. Maybe I'm just behind on the figurative times. Hmm...

Also, I received a flame. It didn't bother me. :D It was like review 7 or 8. At that point, I was kind of on a buzz of goodwill. But the reviewer said she didn't like the smut of chapter 8. Ok, for those of you who don't have the chapter sequence of my story memorized (including me), chapter 8 was the erotic scene where Kagome and Hiei barely made out. ... Need I say more? Really, wait until they get later on to that one much more smutty scene. And they haven't even had sex! My god, it's freaking child's play of the mature world. The reviewer said she didn't expect it, even though I labeled it as M. She thought it would just be violence. Did you read the description of the story? "One dark brooding hotty?" Does this not lead ideas to romance? If not, maybe I should be more blunt and get more readers on here. That would be cool to have happen. Anyways, I couldn't tell how serious the reviewer was, but that was the interpretation I kind of got from it. It wasn't really even mean - I kind of laughed. One, maybe two, out of all my reviews. I consider that damn good. :D So, cool. Good to know a flame doesn't bother me. Course, if I got more, it might.

So anywho, that's all I wanted to say. I felt like I've left enough posts bitching about how few reviews I get, that I just had to gloat that I've gotten more. :D Woot! I haven't started the next chapter yet, simply because a few personal issues cropped up and school suddenly increased its homework. But, I am eager to start after all the reviews, and that is always a good thing. I have the direct next part planned out. :D It should be a doozy. I do not, however, yet know the ending of the chapter. I will be brooding on it for a while, trying to come up with a suitable idea. I have a tiny twist that will be incorporated, and I think I will be going over more of the lost powers thing. Then after that (next chapter), the Jagan thing. I also, this chapter, will be having the lost of the trust issue coming to bite the Spirit Detectives in the ass. :D That should make all of you happy.

That's all for now. Have a good week everyone!

Tchao!
