Ah! I would also like to know who this Jigen is! I am dying to just go through, read your story all over again, word to word, relive all the angst >____>... But i have to ace my yearlies first... Damn....

AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! The suspense!!!!!

I will throttle someone soon!!!

>_______>!!

But, thank you for updating!! <3

First the mother, then Toorumi.... Hmmmmm... Most intriguing!

I feel like I do know what's going on but.. maybe I don't O_O *thrashes around on the floor* Seriously enjoying this ^_^.

Ugh!!  She's so pig headed!  Get it together Kags!

. .. ... Th-the feels T_T <3

:(   When are Kagome and Sesshoumaru going to get back together. It is so sad seing them apart. 

ok... I have no nails left from biting them while reading..... I am DIEING to find out what happens next! and I think my refresh btton is about to go on strike..

So many questions, so little chapter! Hatter you mad genius! These updates are evil and delicious! So good they leave you craving more.

_SO_ wanting to knock Kags in the back of the head and make her see reason... Please let her facepalm at some point!

OMG thank you, thank you, thank you...I felt like a piece of my little life had been restored with this story.  I think it is like that old saying you never miss the water until the well goes dry.  Talk about a drought!  I feel like the water has been restored.  And with Kagome and Sesshomaru going through such an emotional state it is good to see how things are getting on.

Be good!

-.- You have me pulling me hair!! The wait is driving me up the walls!

Oh, go Eri! Thank you for having SOMEONE respect her decision, even knowing (as we all do) that it is the wrong one. Sometimes, you just need a friend who ISN'T going to bedger you when you are already suffering...

Bah!  Seriously???  I am ready to pull my hair out <_<  I just can't believe that after what Inuyasha said and Eri -someone who doesn't even like Sesshoumaru - said, she is still holding on to her warped ideas with a freakin' death grip!  Poor Kagome really does have an unhealthy view on love and relationships.  Another reviewer made a good point that this is actually very realistic.  The others have had centuries to review their pasts and cope with what they've loved and lost, but Kagome has only had a few years to come to terms with herself. Emotions of this magnitude are scary, so of course she hasn't quite learned how to cope with the changes in her life or her past hurts.  She is God-awfully stubborn, though, which is absolutely agonizing at times like these.  

You're very clever, though.  There has been a subtle shift in her attitude.  She's at least not flat out denying anymore that she has feelings for Sesshoumaru.  However, now instead of clinging to the idea that she doesn't want it, she now believes that it is too late and things are a done deal.  Now she's using the excuse that there is nothing she can do about it to avoid facing him.  *sigh* I suppose it is a degree of progress, but seriously.  She needs to get hit over the head with something heavy <_<

I am so happy Inuyasha called her out on her BS.  She is being a coward and she is allowing Sesshoumaru pay for wounds that have been inflicted by other people and circumstances, which is very thoughtless.  It was really poignant how you pointed out that the Kagome he knew is a far cry from the Kagome who stood before him now.  The old Kagome really would have gone to the ends of the earth for the people she cared about.  She would have given every last ounce of herself to them.  It really showed how much she has slipped away from who she is.  It is true that part of becoming an adult is learning out to set boundaries so you don't get walked all over.  However, this girl who now wraps reality and practicality around her like bubble wrap is hardly recognizable from the person she was.  It's so, so sad and frustrating, because she is robbing herself of a greater reality.  A greater truth.  The reality of having a wonderful love and life with Sesshoumaru, just like Inuyasha pointed out. 

Argh.  You have thoroughly made me a mess with this story.  After reading the last two chapters, I went to the store to get more coffee creamer and I was so preoccupied with what had happened in the story that it took me a moment to realize I was stalking down the dairy aisle with my fists clenched, lol.  I mean that as a compliment, of course.  You really have me sucked in. 

I just hope above all else, that when the time comes it will be Kagome that makes the realization and the effort to go after him and fight for him.  With the way Sesshoumaru's mother reacted to her in the elevator, I'm fairly certain that he is not bending to the pressure of mating Toomari.  I don't think he's given up yet, so I sure as hell hope Kagome gets her head out of her posterior and fights for the man she loves.  She needs some of her old spark back.  She keeps saying she wants to live in reality and act like an adult.  Well, an adult - a real woman - will fight for the things that are precious to her, not throw them away or give up.  At the heart of it she has always been a warrior of compassion and love.  Let's hope she remembers that.

Keep up the good work!!!

I know you don't want to give out spoilers, but I was just wondering if you would be giving a perspective of this time from Sesshoumaru as well as Kagome. I love your story, can't wait for the next update!!!

I hope they get back together soon!

This home stretch makes me wanna punch kagome and sesshoumaru. Ugh. So frustrating. But it is certainly keeping my attention. Just in a, "what the hell is the matter with you two???" Sort of way. Sesshoumaru didn't go and chase after her, or even surprise visit like I kept expecting and kagome is being stubborn and scared about Her feelings. Punch them.....both if them........ loving all the updates tho. Keep up the amazing work

Another Chapter! I could really get used to these frequent updates!  I hate to ask but who again was Jigen or can you tell me what chapter to read?  Kagome really needs to stop running form her fear of a relationship.  Inuyasha really screwed her up and I can see how that can mess with you with the way he treated her.  Maybe she needs a bit more time or perhaps running into Sessh will help her realize that she has nothing to fear after all we are talking about Sessh.  He never does anything just to do it.  He says and what he does is with purpose.  Lying is beneath him and he has no need to do so; Kags should know that.

I think Kagome's character is a danm coward! I didn't think she could chicken out from something so obvious! If she can re-analized the stuff and see she is sooooooo wrooooong she is an idiot. And so not worth it.

A person always have to be brave no matter what. That is love!

Sooo excited about all the new chapters!! Been waiting and looking for updates like crazy.  But gahhh I just want to shake Kagome!! I love your story, and hopefully there will be an update bomb going off soon!! like the rest of the story ;-) Can't wait for the finale!

Finally! she needed that tongue-lashing, but she also needs a fire lit under her ass. I hope Inuyasha not dont yet!

KEEP GOING!!! i lvoe this story, it makes me so frustrated I LOVE IT!!!

Oh man... Talk about cry right away in the morning... It's a great chapter and I am really hoping you have another update soon.

Hugs
Alpine ^_^
