Can I assumed the worst? Will Kagome be brutally raped by Kumano and his soldiers? How long will it take for her to be rescued? Will Kagome be the same Kagome that Sesshou fell in love with after it's all over? And who the hell is pulling the strings and making Kagome suffer this much? I hope that Sesshou finds her soon before the physical, psychological and emotional abuse takes its' toll on her. Keep up the good work and update soon :P

Awe how cute! ^_^ Jaken finally going to get some love! But poor Sesshoumaru, hopefully after his reprieve you can send him in the right direction?!

Uh oh! It seems like Sesshoumaru's dream/vision is coming true! He better find Kagome quick! D: Thanks again for another lovely chapter! :D Keep up the wonderful work!

i havnt read in a while so im catching up with the past chapters, i cant believe kagome almost made it scott free...i was about to jump up and down until it turned out to be kumano that answered her [[that asshole]], but i hope sesshomaru will be finding her sometime soon or something, we cant have her die on us...but please update soon this was wonderful

Torture. Pure and simple. I don't know whether to yell or throw things. I'll just do neither and say PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE SOON! The suspense is killing me!

I'm a little confused. Didn't Koyama distrust and dislike Kagome last time she was around? She was all too eager for her to leave, and so was Sesshoumaru. I can understand Sesshoumaru feeling guilty and wanting to find her for that reason, but Koyama seems to also want Kagome back. Shouldn't she be telling her lord to forget her, considering how she felt on a few chapters back, or have I missed something?

>.< oh please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee update...the filler chapter was quite cute...it's really hard to thinkof jaken as someone who could love another being beside his sesshoumaru-sama *lol* but oh well ;)

i need to know what happened to kagome so pretty please update soon

keep up the great work

Nice side story! It's a relief from all the angsty you threw at us ^^ Cute one Teak!

Awwww...this is breaking my heart, Sesshomaru is too depressed to eat. :< he'd be really pissed if he found out that Kagome is being tortured by Kumano, he'd gut him alive for sure.

As for Jaken, I find him funny. XD He needs to get that humanoid form of his perfectly. XDDDDDD

wah i hope ah-un gets better soon! hehe what would jaken look like if he had a human form....green skin? big yellow eyes? no teeth? hahahaha!

Awww Miss Teak-chan, be nice to poor Ah-Un. If you can be nice to Jaken surely Ah-Un shouldn't suffer! lol Ano, Please please update soon! I beg of you! @,@ Soon, T-chan!

Oh at last an update! Oh, how I love thee so, Miss Teak. ♥ But how you hurt me so as well! D= My heart skipped a beat when you made it seem like Sesshoumaru was going to rescue our poor Kagome and when she finally found freedom only for it to be snatched away by an evil beast such as the General Kumano. I must say, it was worth the wait w/how well you put the reader into the character's spot. Like Kagome? I felt as though I was her! You are amazing ♥

Ano, please don't make me wait forever @,@ Although I wouldn't mind too much if it was for you ^-^ Update soon! Gonna go read the next chapter noa =D

I'm still worried for Kagome, but the little Jaken love story is so sweet and uplifting! I hope it leads on to something nice. Good job as always, your attention to detail makes the story so believable. Beautiful imagery through all the chapters, it really helps with visualising the story. Thank you and please continue!

I'm still frantic with worry over Kagome's fate but you really know how to lighten the mood :) I love the interaction between Koyama and Sesshoumaru-I suppose its hard to always be the fierce, implacable youkai lord with a family retainer who has known you since chldhod. Cute! And I liked how you filled out Jaken's character. He's usually just there as an obligatory character or as someone who gets kicked for comic relief. Please update again soon! And maybe if you make Ah-Un crippled for life you can take it easy on poor Kagome? *pleads with puppy eyes*

Hye

I just came across your story - amazingly well researched and thought out. Your attention to detail makes it so fascinating. a real labour of love, this :D

I enjoyed reading it so much, and following the twists and turns in the plot. can't wait for the next instalment - keep on writing!

Awww, that was really nice.

First of all; Tormenting Kagome-you get a thumbs up. Prolonging torture, even better. False sense of security, pure genius. Angsty Sesshoumaru being shy and a love for Jaken? You MUST be God. ILU Please keep up the great work, my dear.

Oh MissTeak, you're so cruel. You break my heart so. Just when poor Kagome could taste freedom it gets snatched away from her just like that. How much more can the poor girl endure. And Ah-Un *snuggles him* I hope he gets better. Hahaha @ Jaken/Koyoma so funny lol. Sounds interesting as well. And poor poor Sess!

FILLER?! *faints dead away*

In all seriousness, thank you for another chapter so soon.  But after worrying about Kagome, I find myself not particularly in the mood for light-hearted brevity.  I do hope that the next plot-driven chapter comes out soon and that it offers Kagome a satisfactory resolution.  I whole-heartedly agree with what some other reviewers have already stated: I hope she is not raped (it may be historically accurate for that time-period, but I'm not sure I could stomach this story afterwards), and that Sesshoumaru will be able to rescue her in a timely fashion.

Two posts in two days?!  That's AWESOME.  I like this trend, hehe.  It's amusing to think of Jaken in love; I never really considered him as a workable character that way.  Hmm... Anyway, I look forward to the next chapter and hope that Kagome gets rescued soon!!!!!  UPDATE SOON, PLEAAAAAASSSEEEE!!!  ^_^;;
