This is so unfair. Kags trys to save their race and this is what she gets after Sessh is the one who forced her into that life in the first.place. Are you telling me they couldn't just marry the princess off to the next heir, Sesshomaru oldest son?. SMDH Im now skipping over some parts cause now I just want to finish. I mean damn this story is REALLY GOOD. So good that im getting negative n positive emotions about it.but i can't read all this anymore, I don't think my heart can take it

This makes no sense *tears* He already has an heir how is this even legal. Im really getting into this but idk how much more I can take. Why is it Sess always gets it good but Kags doesn't If he can do this, no matter the excuse Kags should do it too. Girl power. This is like a tv drama. 

*Sighs, I do not think I can take anymore of this. I mean wow the deal is scary. Kagome will be pissed

In reference to my review before. I made some errors. I was trying to ask for everyone's names there were 8 children before yuki and aiko right? If Shippo is included what are the names of the others besides Tazio, Himeko, and the first son Ai-something?.........On another note, this chapter made me cry a little

Is it me or does  Sesshomaru kids seem weak. I mean for petes sake an orge? I can understand the 2 dragons The first son lost to and he put up a good fight. But Yuki is Kagome and Sesshomaru'dls daughter. I expected instant evaporation. And I know before Aiko there were  including Sesshomaru Kags N im guessing shippo  what are the names of the others? I really want to know. Other than that, lets face it, this is an epic story. I have to skip some sentences because its getting to long and a little redundant but Im still enjoying it. 

I must tell you although you already know. I loved bent from start to ending. It was a beautiful story of love, sacrifice, betrayal, death and pain, and I enjoyed it immensly although at times I was so frustrated that I wanted to tear out my hair and scream, great job, it was really an emotional roller coaster of a story.

I absolutely loved this story. It is one of the best i have ever read.  Thank for a fantastic story.  

Thank you!
You had me worried for awhile with your plot twist, but I really enjoyed reading it!
I'm thankful that you worked so hard and continued on.
Wonderful Fic!!

One of the best chapters of this story. Thank you for posting such a excellent story for us to read and enjoy. Hope you come with more wonderful stories such as this one.

A great story, I only had one issue with it sadly. The issue was how you switched scenes, half the time I got lost due to this. Thanks for the great story.

woohoo  this story was totally awsome  great job

Excellent job, this story was great and wonderful, and I enjoyed it!

Great she is going to get what's coming to her, keep it coming.

Although an epilogue would be good, to cement the happily ever after. Wink. Wink.

I like the ending. Again, kudos and keep writing!

This story had me up and down and I have to admit there was a chapter or two at the beginning that I just couldn't read because of how angry they made me (cudo's to you for invoking such a strong emotion out of me!) I hate to see it end. However, you wrapped up everything nicely. Here's hoping to a sequel. Maybe something in the present time..... ne?

Excellent job, Moonlight Silk. You created an epic fic, worth being re-read at any time. It makes sense that Kagome didn't come back to Sesshoumaru immediately, for her moral values would still remain, and he could not kill the emperor anytime soon for it would be incredibly suspect, but eleven years? That's what I call "patience". Great fic, congratulations, you are a wonderfull writter, and be sure that any fic that you will write in the future (soon, I hope) I will be reading. Thank you for this marvelous story.

Thank you so much for writing this wonderful, flawless, gripping story. While Kagome running back to Sesshoumaru's arms after the trial was over and done with would be ideal, but I kinda understand our heroine's apprehensions. Like she said, once bitten, twice shy. The marriage was very traumatic for both, especially to Kagome who had to step down, and it's very obvious that it affected her on a much deeper level. I wouldn't be surprised if she developed a phobia, even. Though it took them so long to reunite, I'm glad in the end everything worked out well. Kagome and Sesshoumaru deserve a happily ever after without Maemi hanging over their heads. Any chance of an epilogue? I would love to read how their efforts affected the modern world, and also Kagome reuniting with her family. :D

I will definitely miss reviewing, speculating, theorizing etc about what will happen, the consequences, things like that each time I finished a chapter. You are an awesome writer and your ability to make us readers feel what the characters are feeling is really commendable. (I still remember walking off my anger while reading Maemi/Sesshoumaru story arc, lol.) Good luck on any future stories you're planning and congratulations for a job well done! I am definitely looking forward to more of your work. Cheers!

This is a nice and fitting end to this story. And everything went on according to plan. But I wonder whatever happened to Heaven. Did Sesshomaru do as he promised Jade and find her a good husband? Or did she decide to kill herself? The possibilities of her future. Anyhoo, at least Sesshomaru didn't have to dirty his hands by killing her himself. Guess all those years in isolation will take a toll on someone's psyche. I enjoyed every bit of this chapter.

A fitting end to the princess and the emperor, for not understanding the mating bond and trying to make a mockery of Sesshomaru and his kind. It's sad that Sesshomaru and Kagome had to suffer the separation of their love for so long. However, they can live for hundreds and thousands of years, so 14 years is barely anything I suppose. I am glad that they are finally together without any afflictions in their mating or otherwise. A beautiful end to a compelling and intense story! I feel sad that it has ended. I used to check the site several times a day to see if you had updated and now it's over...lol

love how you've tie up all loose ends and created a story to encompass saving the dying youkai race. Brilliant! Just wondering if you will write an epilogue about the present to show how all the events in the past have affected the future.

I've said it before, you are a gifted writer. You're writing skill and style have greatly improved since the first chapter. Reading the opening  para of the last chapter, I could envision what Sesshomaru was seeing and it was beautiful. You have a wonderful command on words and I am looking forward to reading more of your work!
