Their waiting...... I don't know, you just make it seem sad..
But I love this story. It's very well-written. It could definitely rival some of the sily romance novels that I bought a few weeks ago.

Great story *sob*, I haven't read something this heart-renching in a long time.

If I cry anymore, I'm gonna flood my room.
In closing, I'd like to thank you for one hell of a ride!

I must say you had me scred at the beginning of that chapter. I didn't think they'll get back together. I am happy they did. Loved it so so so so so much. You're an excellent writer and this was a beautiful ending.

It was a beautiful story, full of romance, and lots of angst, I love angst and it made it just all the sweeter!

But, as Kagome said, they earned the wish for a renewed chance together. An eternity, or as long as Sesshoumaru wants. Which, I imagine, will be filled with lust, love and laughter.
I'm glad you decided to go this route rather than the sad one. Thank you so much for finishing it as well, since I know it became a bit of an albatross for you.

I do like how you ended the Warring States era section, though. Now Sesshou HAS to live and find her again so he can give her back the Shikon! Too bad he has to wait 500 years. Poor guy.
You're doing a really great job with this fic. Keep it up! I love seeing updates from you. :)

How terrible that she would wake in the hospital alone! Not knowing what had happened, or if she would spend the rest of her life wondering where he went to?
Inuyasha's acceptance was bittersweet, but very well done. I hope he managed to find a semblance of peace.

I haven't finished reading... but I have stayed up waaay too late as it is now 4 in the morning *^.^* I will continue reading at another time. Until then, you have my praise.

Seriously, I'm glad to see that your muse has revived and is, apparently, still in fine form. I will be waiting with bated breath (not to be confused with 'baited' - isn't that a horrible visual?) for the next promised update! In the meantime...
WELCOME BACK!
:D

Anyway, I'm really enjoying this story. I like the way you've taken your time in portraying Kagome's confusion and Sesshoumaru's inability to express his feelings. It's very convincing, which is very unusual for this type of story. This is one of the few stories in which 'the mutual lust morphs into love' premise actually works. I love how you've crafted this story and highlighted all the right elements, breathing life into it with a heavy dose of humanity. This story just seems so natural (despite the curse!) to me. I could see this happening to three people in reality.
Love is a difficult concept, and you've bared it naked before our very eyes, showing us one of the many facets of it that makes it so damn hard.
Thanks for the compelling read.
Yours truly,
Chaos

Firstly, this story is gripping. It's erotic and dark and so damn real that it makes my heart flutter. I love stories that draw the emotion out of me and this has accomplished that. You write amazingly well. I am so impressed with your execution of this concept so far.
Secondly, you handle Inuyasha better than anyone. His conflicting emotions are so natural, as though you were him - a fly on the wall of his heart. He feels so betrayed, yet he carries part of that burden himself. Maybe, if only...what if he had paid her more attention? I found that so beautifully real that it struck me as though I were a towering tree, solitary, in an open field during a nasty bout of lightning. Thank you for taking the time to examine how a real man may have approached such a sensitive situation.
Thirdly, I loved the way you approached her innocence. This seems to be a recurring theme in this fandom, but so poorly explored. Where there is light, there is dark, the only exception being emptiness. Shadows are born from blockages of light after all.
I adore this story, no, I LOVE this story so far. I can't wait to read the next five chapters.

WOW! JMJ-what a curse! Somehow, I don't believe Sesshoumauru not caring about the inability of not ever having a child. It's one thing to prevent having one and it's another having that option taken away. I'm not sure why he accused Kagome of being a liar. Was it because he could feel her desire in wanting to be a mother someday?
Switching gears-Welcome back from your "vacation" LOL Great chapter!
Risa- Wed 14 Jun 2006
The conflicts are so true to life. Inuyasha's courageous emotional confrontation, gives me reason to believe, that it was done because of what happened. All the previous times, he was always chasing after Kikyo. Therefore, Kagome stayed behind feeling hurt because no matter what- his heart belonged to someone else. It's nobody's fault- it's what it is. But, now there is someone else and Inuyasha wants her and is ready to be with her?! How typical. Suddenly, he realizes that Kagome is alive and Kikyo is a reflection of her former self. His love for Kagome is not what I doubt but his decision to be her. He was unintentionally placed in a competition for her love and that why I am questioning the real motive. On the other hand, I could be wrong. I'll talk about Sesshoumaru later.
Risa- Wed 14 Jun 2006
I have so many theories regarding Sesshoumaru's so call hatre toward humans and I have to say this is one, in particular, is good.
He is struggling so hard against his true feeling for Kagome and it's very moving to watch it unfold. In my opinion, he is in love but he doesn't want to be. Love is so...simple , sometimes hard to believe, joyful and miserable,so complicated, but most importantly its life's sweetest reward. You captured the elements of it so beautifully.

I love the entire depiction of Kagome and her friends. The empowerment she received by their advise was rewarding. Yes, Hojo is included.
Feudal Japan: Her declarations was one level shy of a smack down. I loved it.
The whole Sesshoumaru meeting was NICE!

What an emotional rollercoaster ride. Well done.

I still can't believe he (Sess) did that to her-and this is the third time I am reading this story.
JMJ-I love this story!
