I love this story, but sad I have to wait so long between updates... please update more... I agree with other people that Jaken and Sesshomaru's feelings are the saddest...
Once again, it is most painful reading from the perspective of a child. They face the same grief like everyone else, but at the same time, lack the maturity and emotional strength to move on. With the sorrow comes fear and uncertainty, and you portrayed it beautifully and skillfully here. I am looking forward to more, and I am dying to read more Sess/Kag angst. Keep up the good work, my dear. It's so well done.
Awwww Jaken...you actually made me want to hug that green thing tightly.
"But when Kagome took the mortal blow meant for the Inu, Jaken watched bug-eyed as his only friend died."
OMG.
...
I cannot bring myself to speak, and it is getting hard to type with blurry eyes.
*sobs* I knew this chapter was coming sooner or later, but anticipating it did nothing to make it feel less sad. It was painful to read how Kagome had admitted to having feelings for Sesshoumaru to Sango, and why on earth I had to choose to listen to Whitney Houston's 'I will always love you' is beyond me. I just about turned on the waterworks and started weeping away, and I think my mom thinks I have gone loony.
Poor, poor Sango. Sometimes, it's not the one who died who suffers the most. It's those who remain who feel the pain.
In this chapter, you changed your perspective and looked into the death from the eyes of a child. It's painful to read this chapter, not because it is badly written in any way, but because of the sadness radiating off the words. Poor Shippo lost the things he had gained from Kagome, and it was as if he had lived a mere dream, only to be reduced to nothing once again. But he is strong, and Kagome will be proud of him. I don't know if it is logical to wish for miracles, but now, I really, really hope she will come back. Death is final, I know, but I am still hanging on to the possibility of a miracle.
Inuyasha's chapter was probably the saddest one so far...people usually portray him as this bitter, angry young man who's bent on thinking that the entire world had done him wrong. But yet you managed to keep him pretty much in character (still rash, angry and perpetually pissed off at Sesshoumaru) with a touch of realistic logic and rationality. His self-reflection got me tearing up again; this story reminds me of those Mitch Albom ones which makes one think and reflect about life in general.
The line 'it's what litte brothers do' was very touching indeed. Yes, siblings give each other crap but they all love each other. Nice chapter...very nice indeed.

Oh please update more... this story is wonderful and gives a view of both Kagome and Sesshomaru and the others that I think would really be how they are.
I had tears reading how Kagome confessed her love of the Daiyoukai to Sango, and how you could see his soul was hers in how he reacted and felt. How his thoughts of her being the only one that truely knew him...
please please update.... I keep checking and love that you are keeping the characters realistic as opposed to Kagome being a brat and no one growing into themselves and maturing.
*bawls* crayon scene is VERY depressing indeed. Poor Shippo. But I actually like how you focused on his emotions as well. Usually, in stories with Kagome dying, writers tend to leave Shippo's emotions out. But you took the time and effort to consider everyone's feelings, and it makes the story very realistic.
Awwwww *sobs* Why is it getting sadder and sadder with every chapter? Poor Kagome, the mental image of someone so sweet sobbing in front of a mirror is upsetting. I wonder who she is going to meet? Maybe it's Sesshoumaru? *excited*
MORE SAD.
This was the one that started the waterworks! LOL. I think I freaked my brother out when I started sniffling at my iPhone. LOL. The raw pain could be felt rolling off those words, and I think the most painful part of death is really this longing brought about by separation. I need a happy moment.
Angel, I thought I was good at writing angst. You proved me wrong with this chapter.
OMG. I don't know how to write this review, because when I was reading it, I felt my heart sink. Like, it literally had this plummeting feeling. (Sorry for the poor description) The chapter, while short, was detailed and precise. Everyone's reaction to Kagome's death was so clearly illustrated through your words, and it was very touching indeed. It is kinda strange, but i found Jaken's part the saddest of all. Perhaps it is because he is usually such a Grinch, and he could feel sadness over Kagome's death. I think that says a lot.
*SIGH* Still sad.
Now, while it was really sweet to have Kagome see her dad again, this line made my heart crack.
“The daiyoukai does not fare well.”
OMG. *Kleenex moment*
I like this story so far =) Please update!!

I just wanted to say that I really like this story, and find it an interesting view. Definitely gives Sesshomaru more depth, and still gives Kagome a warrior appeal without her seeming like a raving spoiled brat from the future. I can't wait to see the updates... keep writing please.
Poor Sesshomaru.
*hands Angel her broken heart* Here, see what you did? *Sniffs* And you did it so beautifully too.
Angel, You're breaking my heart, this is so sad. But it is so well written, I can't say no to reading it.
"Naze anata wa?"..."Why are you?" While I don't really know how that comes into the picture as of now, I am definitely waiting to see how the sentence is completed! This is another sad little piece indeed; poor Kagome is such a lovely girl, and she definitely does not deserve to die. You're doing a great job dear! Keep writing!
Oh gosh. This is so heavy on the heart. I could practically feel my heart sink, and gosh, I have to read the next chapter NOW. You're doing a good job :)
