Woohoo!!  I was surprised to see this chapter waiting in my email.  It's way earlier then I guessed, and I loved it!  I totally liked what they did to the well.  Especially the part where she could take away the protection when ever she wanted.  No more worrying about Inuyasha getting through the well, and no one helping him.  Brilliant!  I also like that Kagome can now use the Windscar.  I can't wait to see what else her sword can do.  The dream was interesting.  I wonder if her saving Inuyasha's life will be what announces her presence there or if that will happen after her presence is known.  I wonder what will happen to make him need saving, and what Kagome could do specifically to help.  I wonder if after she saves him he'll realize that he actually wants to be with her and not Kikyou.  Oh!  And will Kagome and Sesshomaru be mated before Inuyasha needs saving?

I also liked the kiss between Sesshomaru and Kagome as well as the nighttime snuggling.  So sweet!  I hope she listens to her dream and let's Sesshomaru shower her in affection.  She definitely deserves it after what Inuyasha put her through.  I'm curious about her swords sheath and if anything else has been revealed on it yet.  Can't wait to find out.

Now I'm going to guess that chapter 17 will be posted sometime around the 20th or the 21st.  As always, sooner would always be much appreciated. :-)

oh my! sesshomaru is being sooooo protective! i can't wait to read futher, please do continue. i'll be waiting to find out what happens.

I liked this chapter.  Sesshomaru in his bed getting some relief.  I could picture it so clearly.  Rawr!!  LOL.  Can't wait to see how he manages to get Kagome to sleep close to him when they're hunting and in his bed when they're not.  I also like how Kikyou is refusing to join up with Inuyasha and the group. Although I find it a little funny that she's claiming not to need him to protect her and yet isn't that the reason she's there in the village in the first place.  I also think what she told Inuyasha about his playing with Kagome is true.  He had already decided that he wanted Kikyou so he shouldn't have encouraged Kagome the way he did.  He should have made it clear that he didn't want her, but I guess that's where the problem is.  He did want her.  He just doesn't realize how much.  Anyway, I hope Sesshomaru and the dark priestess get to the well before Kikyou can get to it to try to tamper with the seal. They really don't need Inuyasha going through and finding out she's not there, or just even going through it period.  He doesn't need to be around her family after what he's put her through.  I'm curious to see if they do manage to get Kagura on their side.  That would be interesting.  It would also be interesting to see if her crush develops into more once she realizes he's not into males.

Now for my usual update guess.  This chapter was way late from my last guess, but it was totally worth it.  I hope ch.16 comes sooner.  I'm guessing around the 12th or the 13th of Aug.  I hope I'm right. :-)

Woo!! thank you for the update!

I cant wait for the next chapter to find out what will happen with kikyo and the well. Wonder what they all woud think when they can't open it. I'm excited!! >w<

I can't wait to read more, keep it coming.

next chapter please

You have made my day with that little smut!(; please update soon maybe they will get there soon! Please update!

Lol I can't wait to see Inu and Kik's face when they find out that Kagome's been there the whole time and was collecting shards and even getting stronger.

Kikyo talks about duty - what about HER duty? She couldn't even take care of the Shikon, sessh.....

great chapter!

next chapter please

Flashe's of either a threesome or a two some between sessho and Kouga are running through my head right now >\\\<

Ah, their relationship is blooming. Good for them. I wonder when they will bump into Inuyasha. Great chapter :)

Loving it, keep it coming.

An update!  I had been checking my email for days waiting for this update.  It was late but that was okay.  We finally heard from Kikyou.  I don't know why but I was picturing her having a more angry and probing personality.  Maybe it was from the way Sesshomaru and Kouga describe her. Hmmm....maybe we'll see something like that later.  I also wasn't expecting her to be in the village.  Will we see her and Inuyasha interacting together anytime soon?  I like that all the main parties bought the ruse of Sesshomaru and Kouga being in a relationship or decided that whatever was going on between them wasn't their concern.  It was brilliant.  Kagura's reaction was nice to see.  I wonder if the crush she has on Sesshomaru will fade with her learning about them or if she'll still want him.

i like the moment with Sesshomaru and Kagome.  I like the slow build of their romance.  Others might be impatient but I say ignore them.  The facts of this story call for the pace to be gradual for their relationship.  I say people should be patient.  The more intense moments will come soon enough.  Now for my update estimation for ch. 15...I'm going to say either the 23rd or the 24th.  Of course sooner would always be great. =)

great chapter!

Aww please update !

Keep it coming.

Hehehehehe!!

when i read about inu papa holding kagomes hands, my first thought was perverted old dog xDDDD

I know you didn't mean anything like that, but it made me laugh. Such a cute and fluffy moment for sesshomaru and kagome :3
