XD

So beautifully done.  Go Kagome!  Go Kohaku! Go away Sesshoumaru!  J/k.  I like how he's evil, yet not.  He seems really bored with his life and doesn't know what to do with himself.  Like a child who treats an animal like it's play thing...before they become a serial killer? Um... 

 Indeed. Kohaku's sudden appearance did surprised me and I sure other readers said just the same thing and reacted the same. Not all the time do I see Kohaku get that much spotlight in S/K stories. Too bad the Chapter was not longer. Please update again ASAP.

 Sincerely,

OMG is going to kill Kohaku for touching his property!!! I feel sorry for Kagome. It has been so long since she had to talk to anyone, let alone hug someone. Poor Kohaku doesn't even know is fate. I can just picture Kagome covered in scars and her face devoid of any emotion. This is so intense right now, I can't help but wondered. Though a question has been popping in my mind. What happened to Kaede? Maybe she can help her? Well, thank you for this chapter. It was awesome! Keep up the great writing, you do :-) 

Silly girl, not to consider scents and such things as that! I'm glad at least that she didn't ask him to help her, in any other way that simply giving her the physical contact she needed... now we'll see if/when Sesshoumaru kills Kohaku. Oh! There's another person who might be interested in her too, ya know... a certain Hojo of the past. Just a suggestion... 

uh ho!
I hope he doesn't go after Kohaku now....

But I am a bit confused......if her fiesty spirit is what pleases Sesshomaru, why is he doing everything he can to break her spirit? Or is it because he is a youkai and sees things so differently that he believes he just needs to force her to turn to him for companionship and that will eventually makre her have affection in her eyes?

And yes the appearance of Kohaku greatly surprised me!
Wonder what Kohaku will do, still try to help her or just wait for her to return to him when she needs to? Love this!

yayyy! please kill the taijiya boy. slaughter the village. heh heh heh

OMIGAWD! My heart started thumping at the end! Kohaku still alive? Whaaat.... i cant w8 nooooo why must you do this to meeee whyyyy?!  Hmmm i wonder if she will try to kill sesshy?

Ah, yes, the curse of time... time never heals and bleeding wounds never close, time only numbs and the wounds only become septicaemic. Though, if she still seeks contact, if she still wishes to reaffirm the presence of skin above her bones then she's not that far gone yet. That is good, very good, means there is yet hope.

Did Totosai craft some kind of loophole for her with this armor?? Hm, I can't help but wonder...

Of course he knew she'd come to him... such devious bastard he is... thsi time he has planned well. I guess he did learn from his experience with Izayoi, though it was a lesson that should have never been learned. 

Kohaku is a man now, yes? *chuckles* I do wonder what that meeting will bring? More pain, a sliver of solace, another mistake?

Ah, lovely chapter, full of pretty words and questions! I can't wait for the next update! Thanks for this one! <3

Wow, you can just feel Kagome's mind starting to break with the angst and hate.
I would love to see some of Sesshomaru's POV though.

Does he understand Kagome's mind is starting to break? Does he want her spirit and mind broken? How does he take her constant attempts at hurting herself or does he care? He seems to consider Kagome his "treasure" so wouldn't he want her whole and sane?

I wonder who will end up with the darkest fic? Catalina's story is way creeper with her take on Rin! But your story shows Kagome just ever so slowly breaking.......can't wait for the next chapter!

I'm lost (or a bit slow), Toutousai can't see her? Unless he feels intimidated not to look at Kagome because of Sesshomaru. Some years must have passed if Kohaku looks older.

Can't wait for your next update!

Ooooh such a short chapter oh what will happen btw I likthis you have set up the time skips keep it up

You truly have a gift. I love the way you bring out the emotions. You describe the emotions very well. I was wondering, how much time has passed. It seems time it passing quick. Kohaku is alive. Im so happy. Maybe he can help her. Damn kami's cant do anything right. Keep up the aewsome work! :-) 

He's gonna kill Kohaku, isn't he? I really, really like the whole her need for touch, for another person. It's awesome, and so like Kagome and many others who are... more sensative in that respect. Thanks for the update! Can't wait for mooooooooore~

Eeeee i wonder how and when it will reappear!? Izanami is a bad ass btw.... love your descriptions of her. Its nice? Sesshoumaru hasnt forced her.....yet....

I love this. I like how you portray Kagome's agony with your vivid words because it feels so realistic. Update soon! 

You can really feel the hopelessness in her situation...but without any actual growth on Sesshoumaru's part will turn the story a little too...boring, sorry to say. This is not a flame, just my personal musing since starting on this story. His side could be an obsession, Sesshoumaru being blind to true affection could be considered a dark kind of romance on his part...but by forcing Kagome to stay by his side through time will only throw her farther and farther away from him.

Then again, the chase probably turn him on more than he know...

Maybe a twisted confusion on his part will make the story more interesting. A very dark kind of battle inside of him, wanting her but not, obsessing over her yet not really knowing the reason why. If she's just a toy to amuse himself until he's bored of her, then why go through all that just to keep her by his side. Anyway, I don't think the Shikon no Tama really control the well. Looking back in the movie 'Sword of the Conqueror' the well seemed to work without the Shikon, giving clue that the well has its own power...

Perhaps through all that youkai bones thrown into the well...

Bad well! BAD! Good story! Good! XD sorry I'm being goofy. Too much medicine. Still I really like it. I liked the description of the afterworld where the goddess lady was all like pissed off about the whole situation and Sesshoumaru's medling. I admit I kinda hoped Kagome could go home, but I also knew that was too much to hope for. Course she blurted out that the well could take her places, even if it didn't work. Sesshoumaru won't let her get near it again. Cuz he's an ass. Or he may? I don't know what your plan is womanz but you should impliment them soon. Like now. Yesterday. Sometime.

Sorry I didndt see this when it initially uploaded, but you know why I haven't been on here. <3

This chapter so was intense, I love it. Sesshomaru so cruel and dark. Yet he takes care of her wounds. I know there's more toture for Kagome. I want her to hurt him some how or form. I do truly feel bad for her. Great job on the chapter. I can't wait for the next one. Keep up the good work :-) 

Omg she died again, I know Sesshomaru is highly irritated that Kagome keeps trying to die, even though her latest action was entirely by accident. 

I wonder how Kagome is gonna endure Sesshomaru's company until the Shikon Jewel turns up again.
