Hmm...interesting. I'm really curious as to how all of those rumours figure in together, because I feel that they are all linked somehow. looking forward to your next update!

i think you did a great job on portraying kagome. she did love inuyasha  a lot which many forget, and the fact that he was gone would affect her. she would mourn a long while. and will hurt always with the memory of him. also i liked that yes, she needs to be strong for rin and shippo.

aside from that, i don't know if sessh has a castle or if his mom's castle is the western shiro but if he has there should be a rumor that the western lord is missing ? or is his court covering this, as to protect the west? scouts should be sent and they must know about rin no? and his brother? i wonder what will happen?

and the legend with soul in half... never knew of this, did you create it for this fic? f so amazing idea.

I am sorry rin had to cut her hair but i know how long hair can be cumbersome and tiring and hard to are for lol!

i am just confused why they are leaving? to look for sessh or just because another miko came? for me this was a little unclear.

a good chapter overall, thx for updating! will wait for more!

Very nicely written chapter. I liked it.

I think Sessho is a creature of habit and he would only break that habit if something were terribly wrong or he died. That would be cause for alarm and Rin seems to be the only one overly concerned. He would always pay a visit to Rin faithfully around certains times like clockwork or he would send Jaken with a message and or gifts for the girl, but for him to go a whole year with no contact with her then there is something definitely amiss, not even a rumour of his disappearance. Jaken would definitely be looking for him unless he is dead or being held captive which means so is Sessho.

Does Sessho have a physical place that he lives at like a palace in this story? If so, I would think his court and advisors would have scouts out searching for him after no word from him for a year. So I'm guessing that Kagome and Rin are going to search for him by themselves. Kagome always seem to want to leave and not tell her friends because she seems to think that it would worry them but does she not realize that by telling them what she is doing will cause less worry for them because she did not just disappear; of course they will still worry for her and Rin but at least they know they are alive and well, and what of poor Kohaku.

I think Shippo is advancing so rapidly in his school and gaining seven tails already is because he wants to get back to Kagome and Rin to protect and help them.

If the goddess Izanami's story is to be believe, I'm wondering if part of her soul is in Kagome and the other part is in Sessho because he is basically an animal by nature. I wonder how that will work. The familiar yet changed aura that Kagome felt earliar, I'm wondering if that could have been Sessho. That would be interesting.

I am so looking forward to the upcoming chapters soon I hope :)

Great job!!!

So good!!! Please update soon! I can't wait to read what happens next

Very interesting and intriguing storyline. Kagome always seem to get the short end of the stick when it comes to hardships and drama in her life. But then that's what makes the stories so fascinating. 

You had suggested that there was a relationship between Sessho and Kagura when he was own his way to Edo and he was thinking about a few things and his emotions. Are you going to elaborate on that point and what happened between them?

Looking forward to future updates. Well done on your writing skills!!!

The premise is interesting.  Your writing flows well and the plot is catching attention.  I applaud you on not making inuyasha a villain. I must admit I liked everything in this chapter and can't wait for more! Thx for writing!  Will eagerly wait for the next chapter!
