Very well done.....a little harsh in the beginning but totally understandable the way Kagome feels.  I would not be relenting either.  The later chapters are better.....in portraying everyone.  Can't wait until the next chapter:)  Write it soon:).

This is one of my favorite stories.  Kagome has become so strong but still has a very vunerable side that could easily be crushed again if betrayed.  Sesshoumaru has also grown and I love watching how he approaches her and has become a true friend.  (smiles) Who wants to be so much more than her friend.  Great job! Terrific Story!

Am enjoying the story, its only unfortunate that Sesshoumaru's gonna leave... and I bet that's when Kikyou and Naraku strike, too.  Poor Kagome.

Gotta love angst, though!

Very well done.  I liked the conversations between Kagome and Sesshoumaru, and even his inner dialogue.  I have to admit, I am curious what he's going to buy his "girlfriend."  I also like how protective Sesshoumaru is becoming..after seeing Kagome's scars, his anger towards InuYasha for putting her in the position of getting those scars.  LOVED IT.  So many updates in one day....spoiling us readers :)

Man, right when they're bonding, an oni has to ruin it! When will Kikyo get discovered? It must be coming soon right?

Why can't she kill humans? I understand the concept of youkai energies vs. miko energies, but the fact killing humans makes her unpure makes no sense. It's the same idea of bad youkai vs. good youkai. Shouldn't killing innocent youkai taint her just quick as killing evil human? Her 'powers' manifest from the soul not the mind. If a soul is tainted, she should be able to purify it, human or youkai and vice versa. That aspect completely threw me off the battles and the story. It's really interesting take on Betrayal and I really enjoyed it until that point.

Love it!!  I like the plot and the story.  Curse everyone for hurting Kagome.  But Inuyasha and Icky-yo....I mean Kikyou...for being stupid buttheads.  Yes, I called them that.  So, Sango saw Kagome talking to Kagura.  How is that going to pan out for the future?  And Sesshoumaru leaving hints for Kagome is so cute.  She's all confuzzled cuz that's not the Sesshoumaru she's familiar with.

I'm sorry that reviewer said they didn't like your story.  I know everyone's entitled to their opinion, but to it hurts to get reviews like that.  I say, if you don't like it, just stop reading it.  I think your spelling was wonderful.  There are some places where commas either are or shouldn't be, but that's one of those things that can easily be overlooked.  It certainly doesn't take away from the enjoyment factor of the story.

I know that there's several stories out there that show Kagome with a new attitude and outlook on life, but I have not been able to sit through more than maybe one or two of them.  Yours really stuck with me and I'm glad I kept on reading.  I think you did a great job and I can't wait to read more!

I am so glad that Sesshoumaru heard what Kagura said.  Now he will never believe that Kagome is in league with Naraku!  Or, at least, he better not.  Sango didn't seem inclined to doubt her either.  I just hope that Kikyo's plan fails.  Someone so manipulative doesn't deserve to live happily ever after!  Thank you for another great update!  You are incredible wonderful!  I can't wait for more!!

I bet Kikyo and naraku didn't account for Sess always lurking around near Kagome. So, I see where the plan can fail. I say have Sess use his sword to bring her back to life, just so she can really feel it when she gets her butt handed to her. That sounds a lot better.

Oooohhh...Sess is starting to flirt? Just a little, maybe? I love it! Inu is an idiot as usual.

This story is absolutely amazing!  You are incredible with all of your updates!  Is it possible to reward your muse in some way?  Not for holding the gun to your head, of course, but for all the new chapters to your story!  I think Inuyasha is funny.  It's not that Kagome hasn't told him what the problem is, it's been because he's refused to listen to her.  Sure she hasn't told him about almost being raped, but everything else she's been pretty straight-forward.  But I guess it's easier to blame her, or Naraku, than himself!  Can't wait for more!  I hope that Kagura is able to help Kagome in some way!

can he really be that stupid? yes, yes he can! She can pimp-slap Inu too when she does Kikyo. They both need it!

There are very few stories that I have found that let Kagome be strong.  I love these types of stories.  I have always considered her to be the strongest of the group.  Maybe not physically but that girl has some heart and in my personal opinion that will get her a lot farther than anything else will.

I love that Kagome is the way she is in your story.  To many times has she been told what to do or to stand back and let everyone else handle it.  After being hurt they way she was I can only imagine what that would do to a person.  Especially when you put your life on hold to help these people.

I can't wait to see what happens when Kagura shows up. 

WOW! I love this story!!! I'm so happy to see you've updated!  I love the developing relationship between Sesshoumaru and Kagome.  I love when authors write a strong Kagome!  She's grown and learned that life can be hard and "What doesn't kill us can make us stronger"  I just hope she lets Sesshoumaru help her with the healing process.  Something tells me he will be very good for her!

I love this story because it gives a different perspective to these characters that we all love.  It's the alternate inuyasha universe fans like to read about.  I don't know why anyone would feel compelled to leave a bad review and no way for the author to respond to them...unless they were just being petty.  Not everyone can write good fiction and it takes a lot of creativeness to come up with a good story.  So I say...KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB.  I can't wait to see what is next. 

I really hope Kikyo's plan doesn't work.  Of course Inuyasha will fall for it, he is stupid, but I hope everyone else will trust her enough.  They must realize how much she hates Naraku, why would they think she's in league with him?  At least let Sesshoumaru trust her.  He must know what she's really like!  Thanks for the update!  Can't wait for more!

Inuyasha is truly an idiot! I hope you have something great planned about her showdown with Kikyo. first let her smack the hell out of her and go from there. Love this story. It just keeps getting better!

"Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" IS by Rob Zombie... S**** A**

Oooh, clever plotting!  I love the way you handled InuYasha and Kikyo in this chapter, it was masterful.  I am really enjoying this story, hope you can write more very soon...
