Summary: Past Featured Story

Romance, sadness, drama, excitement...it's all here, in this alternate ending to the Inuyasha manga. 

This takes place after the end of the manga…sort of. The thing is, I didn’t much care for the end of the manga. It wasn’t he ending I had hoped it would be. So, as I writer and an Inuyasha fan, I have decided to take matters into my own hands. This is my own alternate ending. It begins immediately after Naraku is defeated.  

The actual ending of the manga wasn't what I thought it should be.  It was lacking in emotion, completeness, and too many words were left unsaid.  Not to mention too many things left undone.  This alternative ending hopes to do for me, and others, what the original did not.

I am literally crying right now, my dear. You're illustation of the passionate feelings behind our beloved characters was so beautifully executed. The plot leads us steadily and assuredly so I'm not upset with your 'character death.' It is, as I've stated, wonderfully written. Each paragraph you compose seamlessly links to another, allowing perfect continuity. I'm going to read the next few chapters I can before I have to be at work.

Oh, and thank you SOOO much for your reviews on my story. They really brightened my day!



Author's Response: You're welcome for the reviews.  I love reading other peoples work!  And thank you for reading and reviewing my story.  I'm really glad you've enjoyed it!  

The Cafe In Manahatta by lil6ter Rated: R starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 12]
Summary:

The coffee was hot. Steaming hot as I poured it into his cup. It warmed my hands through the pristine white china. I set it down on his tray, smelling it and closing my eyes. His lips would touch the crisp edge of this cup. The coffee would pour into his mouth and warm it. He would bite into the scone that I have prepared for him with love, care, and extra everything. I set this one aside from the rest. He has been coming to my little café every Saturday and Sunday since it opened. He sits in the same place, drinks the same coffee, eats the same scones. He is my beautiful constant, and one day, I will build up the courage I need to go over there and talk to him and stop loving him from afar.

Darlin', as always you deliver such fantastic stories. This one has certainly expanded your writing technique. I love how you've changed perspectives-- I believe it really shows growth in a writer to create tales from another character's p.o.v. (Even one who isn't always that popular.) I have to admit, I was surprised at first about who the main character was-- but I read the first chapter over again and was able to see the hints better. In the anime, Kikyo always had more of a soulful/dramatic flare to her soliloquies. The action of blood dripping would be the more morbid feel of Kikyo's words within your story. I really love it, as I have loved all of your stories.

Hope prom was fun! It's been 8 years since mine... EEEP! ;)



Author's Response:

Aw...thank you! I feel so touched! I really wanted to try something different, but I never expected it to come out like this! I was going to change it after I finished the first chapter, but I was very pleased with it and I thought that it would present me with a good challenge to keep everything in this POV, especially since it is something that I have never tried before. When I first came up for this idea in the middle of White Rose (the book, not the man) I knew right away that I wanted Kikyo to be my main character, and have her portrayed not as someone that was out to ruin everyone's life. I'm trying to drop hints along the way and leave them as subtle as possible. There is one hint that no one has picked up on yet, and that hint has something to do with how Kagome met Inuyasha.

 

It was...but the location could have been better. There was a horrible echo in the room that made it hard to stay and dance in. On the upside, there was another area with lounge music that was fun to hang out in. All in all, it was a good night.

 

Thanks for the review and the rating! Big smiley for you :D. Keep reading!

Yay! I come home from work and low and behold-- 2 chapters posted since last I looked! It was a real treat to delve into your tale after a hard day's work. I'm glad to read about Kikyo's bounce back. Now, if only more of the White Rose would be revealed... *winks*

Author's Response: Well...I am trying to post a new chapter everyday if that helps. It is just hard to do sometimes because I still have school work too, even thought I have only 18 more days until I an finished. Anyways...I'm glad that you liked it! we still have a ways to go until I come clean and tell you guys who he is. Till then... :-). Thanks for the review and keep reading! Thanks for the rating too! Big smiley for you :D.
