Cute chapter! I hope Mr & Mrs Taisho will share their feelings od acceptance with both Kagome and Sesshoumaru. Nice video, by the way! Thank you~

Once again, wonderfully crafted!  Kagome's insecurities and fears (not unlike most women's) were laid out and Sesshoumaru laid them to rest.  Being vunerable and feeling vunerable are two different things, but you managed to have Kagome and Sesshoumaru display both in this chapter very nicely.  There are somethings that are better when they are not neatly and precisely wrapped.

Thanks!

OMG, that was a wonderful chapter.  You had me sobbing there for a minute, and then in bliss while they share a ride in the car....both rides (tee, hee, hee).

Oh this was delicious. :) I'm so happy they're finally admitted to each other. Thank goodness for Sesshoumaru pushing and getting through this quickly. Whiny Kagomes for too long are tedious. You've got just the right amount, and she really is justified in her insecurities. I loved the part about the car. Hot dang that was perfect. I love a good car as well, and I can totally sympathise with her. So that was great. I also love how intuitive Rin is. She's a brilliant, precocious little child. I love her in this role. And Kagome staying the night at Sesshoumaru's house with his parents there and everything was a fantastic touch as well. I'm glad he pushed and wouldn't take no for an answer. :) I'm excited to see where you take it from here and how this then develops. I'm also really glad that you included the part where his parents walk in. That was really great to see--their admissions to mistakes and love for each other. I love how Kagome is the catalyst to all of this healing and joy. Fabulous job. :) I can't wait for the next chapter!

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! LAHV LURVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! This story makes me all squishy inside and I turn to goo with happiness for them. Damn I want that car. I can see Sesshomaru playing moonlight was perfect for him. Great work as always. I will never forget this story. I tell ppl all the time to read it even if they dont read fanfic.

You want to know the first word that came to mind after reading the chapter was?

WOW!!

That sure was a rush!! It felt as exciting as Kagome driving that beast in the afternoon!!

This story just keeps getting better and better!! I don't know what is it about you and the way you write, but I can sure tell you that it makes me tingle every time I see that there is an update!!

I lock myself in my room and before I close the door I yell at everyone to not bother me unless someone is dead or dying!!

You manage to make the anticipation to read each and every chapter like a drug!! I can almost see the impatience of getting my next fix the moment I see that there is a new update, and then everything else becomes unimportant!

All around me there is a thousand things waiting for me to take care of, but when there is an update, nothing takes precedence over getting that fix, that upper that will fill me with all sorts of emotions, the anticipation almost makes me tremble, and I feel this selfishness come over me and I don't want to share this time with anyone else!! It's mine and mine alone, and I'll be dammed if I let anything come in between me and the new chapter!!

Your words are addicting, and the way you write and describe things just makes me want for more!! I am selfish in that way! I could never have enough!! I drink each word, each sentence, and instead of filling fulfilled, it makes me giddy and the moment is over, I cry for more!!

Your story is like a spell, crafted to take away my sanity. How can a story be this good? How can I escape when I want to never walk away from it? I am happy being a slave to this story, and I would say it to anyone who cares to listen!

Every little detail, every little emotion, it's so well described that I can feel them myself, and that just makes my mind go crazy!! The effect your words have in this story is beyond my understanding!!

I love your mind! The way it works and how it creates the magic that entraps me every time you post an update! A hundred questions run through me every time I read a new chapter: Does the story reflect in any way any part or her? How much of real experience is used to write this? What character does she identify more with? Where does she get the inspiration to write like this?

I could go on and on, but I won't bother you with it. Instead, like every other time, I'll just count my blessings and say THANK YOU! for once again gifting us with a great update and may your muse continue to sing to you for a long time to come!!

Looking forward to the next update, and admiring you more than ever:

MidCat.

Some one should do a picture of them in the backseat!!!!!!!

Loved the chapter!!! I like how she got all dressed up to drive the car and made an option of having sex in the car!! I was so happy and squealing when he admitted that he loved her and that she would still give him a chance. PLEASE UPDATE SOON, I'M BEING LEFT HANGING HERE!!!!!

Poor Kagome!  Stuck driving a nasty old minivan.  That is just too brutal.  I bet you are really, deep down inside, one of those fanfic authors who are jealous of Kagome, because she has Sesshy.  So you are making her suffer the degradation of driving around in a minivan.

Hey~ just kidding.  I really enjoyed reading about her driving experience.  Makes me kind of bitter than my Subaru Legacy with the Boxer Turbo got traded in...

LOL  I loved the objectifying.  *snicker*  Make revving noises.  LOL  I'm glad that there wasn't long drawn out angst, but I was very surprised that Sesshoumaru told her that he loved her.  I figured we'd have to wait awhile for that.  You know, I'd love to see him play with the band while Kagome sings.

Man, if Kagura gets together with that guy who's trying to dig up smut on Kagome, she might be in for a rough time.  I hope it all turns out okay though.  Kinda worried about that guy and Kagura.

It's sweet what has happened with the parents, too bad that it's too late for Inuyasha.

Rin is such a sweety.  You've made me like her quite a bit in this story.  ^_^

Thanks for the update!

Yes! They are finally getting somewhere and Kagome is getting over her doubts somewhat. But I know you will throw a loop in there! Because thats how you make your story so much more entertaining to read! Loved how this chapter came out especially the scene where Kagome finally drives Sess car then has a little fun in the back of it. >.>  Great chapter and can't wait to see what you have in store for them next! :)

I listened to the Perahia and I have to agree with you, his is about the best interpreter of Bethovan that I've ever heard. I'd have to sit down and go through my vinyl collection to see if I had one as good. I like that the first movement didn't sound like it was being played at a funeral. I truly enjoyed the second movement, but the third movement sounded alive and almost frenzied in a very emotional way. Yeah, Perahia's got it going.

Oh, yes, I'm supposed to be reviewing the story! I will be reading this current chapter in bed tonight, but I can tell you I have been totally enjoying the blossoming of their personalities, their revelations and scars, and their slow coming together. The whole story is like a waltz that starts very slowly and gradually builds up momentum. Yeah, I like the Strausses too.

AWWWW, such a nice story...it is well done...i read this story from start till this chapter...i got into it and couldnt walk away...i hope all goes ok for Kagome and Sesshomaru...

good job and update soon...

thank god sango is in this to help kagome or else she would ruin the chance she has to happiness

Hot Damn! Good ol Sango! Now that's a best friend everyone needs.  Loved this chapter

I just wanted to say I love this story and I hope you update soon. The way the charaters flow together and meld with the story is fantastic.

I feel like I owe you a lifetime of reviews. I saw this update pop up while on the train right when my stop was coming up and cursed my luck and the fact I had to wait to come home to read this. And it was so worth it. Once again, I love how you include every nuance of details and you make Kagome's actions so realistic, I should know since I love to sabotage perfectly good relationships too so I know how she's feeling.  I can't wait for the next update and see how our Sesshy is going to divert Kagome's plans.

Good for you Sango! I'm glad Kagome is your friend and not your patient that would be unethical. 

Aww man Kagome is really emotional in this one. She needs to set herself free!...from herself!!! Just throw everything into the wind and run off into the unknown.

I suspect I owe you many, many, many reviews, so it is past time. This whole story is one of the most captivating stories I've ever read. I love the wholeness of your characters, quirky and funny and scared and loving as they are. This is so well written, I realize that one day you must go professional. I look forward to that day, I will happily pay for your books.
