I squealed so hard when I got the update notice in my inbox
*blinks* You have this story on alert somewhere?
I told myself I couldn't read anything until I finished what I was working on, LOL
I know the feeling, hehe.
Awwww I felt so bad for InuYasha; foreign-borns already have such a ifficult time in Japan, and then to throw himself out there like that... gotta give him credit for trying, tho.
The eye contact thing just killed him, though. Apparently Japanese are not comfortable with the long, lingering stares that are so common among Westerners. I didn't really have this scene/chapter in mind way back when I made Inuyasha half-French, but it really came back in handy for me here. How fortuitous, LOL!! I thought it was an interesting way to compare and contrast Sesshoumaru's behavior, since he'd been acing these interviews - which is easy enough to say, but far more difficult to show.
I suppose I should give my readers credit as well; no one who has reviewed so far has blasted me about the questions asked, as I sorta expected, considering its against the law to pry into peoples' personal lives on job interviews in the US. Huzzah for thoughtful readers! (Well, so far...)
I loved seeing how you incorporated Kagome's little "revelation" about him (sex on a stick, *snickers*)
*throws up hands in defeat* The muse was insistent that the line stay, even after getting a lemon out of the deal :P What can I say? Did you see the picture I linked in my author's notes entry? Because hot damn, Sesshoumaru in that suit would SO BE sex on a stick o.O
I'm intrigued as to what InuPapa is up to - informing the world of Sessh's denial of the offer?
He's always got an angle, doesn't he? I guess you'll have to keep reading and find out!
And what a great step on Sesshoumaru's part! Hanging around to wait for her, even if she was there an extra couple hours?
Yes, we have finally progressed past the angst (well...for the most part) and are well on our way back towards getting this relationship where it needs to be again. I like the interplay here and really had to tone it down a notch or two. Maybe I'll find an outlet for those feelings yet - I have a few ideas bouncing around in my head, warring to see which one comes out first.
But, I'm happy with the fun and flirty part of this chapter, for sure =)
