I am glad you love it! Duri was probably more an inspiration (though not a super-direct one) from (Yoko) Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho (though Kurama is a fox-demon and not a wolf). He's where the interest in magical-transforming/shifting beings first started (loooong time ago). Though, I have a soft spot for Inuyasha as well! The ears are irresistible! ^_^
