First of all I wish good health for you and your family during this difficult time.

This is my 5^th time reading this story, I just love it … I enjoy it so much that I have commissioned many scenes from my favorite artist to have something from it. (I will share a couple).

It is absolutely an OCC for Sesshomaru but in a way it goes pretty well with the personification with this AU and also from all the other characters known and new. I even ended up loving Naraku and Mitsue (my favorite). There were times when I want to strangle Kagome but young people make mistakes and sometimes without even realizing it they fall into a hole that is so hard to come out. This is a process to experience and learn. You are doing great!

With all the drama, angst, character development you were able to really give me different levels of reactions just from reading the story and for that I am grateful. I am sure that is to be a good writer.

In my opinion I would love for Kagome to end up with Mitsue and for Sesshomaru to sober up and have a new happy life (fist time ever wishing that by the way). I am a 100% SessKag. Anyway, I hope you can continue with the story and with that to enlighten with joy.  I know maybe it’s too much to ask at this moment but its what I want and pretty sure everyone else here. This mom also with real life is coming to this great site for an outlet: D. I’m sending all the good vibes for a muse, energy and time for this story. Thank you very much for your awesome work

I really realy love this story, i hope there's more chapters coming soon. cuz i read them all in just one day and i cant help myself for wanting more! ????

Sesshomaru was such a jerk with her, and she was so naive and even stupid but, she was a teen and have gone through so much!!! it's all so sappy but i still like it so much! Jajajajaja. Please continue writing it ??.

Geez this was a real tear jerker 

I will admit I want to see Sesshomaru recover and get back on his feet, just like he would as himself in the canon universe, but in this alternate universe, where he isn't a dog demon, he isn't the Lord of the West, just some pathetic drunk guy who is in a world of pain because karma. I've never before read of Sesshomaru being brought down so low and crying so profusely and generally just being a hot mess, and it's almost revolting. But it's like a train wreck I can't look away from. Kagome finally has the upper hand but shows that she isn't petty and that she isn't going to hold it against him despite EVERYTHING, which I would think in reality is what will endear her to Sesshomaru, because she's SO good, even in her bottom-of-the-barrel moments. He was blind before, so hopefully, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, he comes back better than ever. How they can repair their relationship seems almost impossible to me, so I am so curious how you're going to (maybe, hopefully) slowly bring them back together, so this slow burn can finally ignite into something. I love your writing! I eagerly await a new chapter!

I am absolutely in love with this AU. You definitely know your angst! I felt all the feels! I await their eventual confrontation, although I kinda just want to see Sesshomaru marinate in angst some more since he was such an asshole boyfriend. The fact that he only just realized what he had when it was gone... just so good. Your writing is superb! 

Finally! 

Can't wait to see Sesshoumaru sobering up and trying to get Kagome back 

Unpopular opinion, perhaps, but I think I’m not-so-secretly wanting Sesshoumaru to sober up and leave to find a place for himself that is not so masochistic so that he can repair his own hurts. I know that people are invested in his suffering because he was awful to Kagome, but it takes two. He ignored his heart, putting all else before her and she willingly surpressed her true self and allowed herself to be disrespected in their coupling; they are each to blame for not being their true selves together. I’m not sure that either need to keep apologizing; they just need to mend themselves from within. I’m glad Sesshoumaru has decided to do so. I hope he’s ready to face his own demons and work towards his own happiness in spite of his hurting heart; in this way, they are even. I’m still quite sad for Kagome’s path currently, too. I understand the vastness that her grief must encompass and her desire for safety - even if it comes in the form of a ‘fake’ romantic relationship. That said, she is also still hiding. I don’t fault her for it, but I do hope that she is able to find a way to serve as a protection for herself, as well. Much love for you and this story. I always look forward to these updates and thank you for your dedication to such beautifully written work!

This is the best news to wake up to: that you have updated a new chapter! 

My God, do you know how to strangle a person's heart. I couldn't stop shaking throughout this whole chapter. I can really feel the angst in both of them and I can only hope that they find their way to a happy end, wherever that may be. 

The way that you incorporate the past with the present is heartbreaking.

I can't help but feel that you're setting up something big with the introduction of Mitsui's brother. 

I'm happy that Sesshomaru is trying to get help with his alcohol addiction.

I love the way you introduce new twists and turns and reveals ;-) 

I can't wait to see where this fate leads them. 

Please update soon. 

Impatiently waiting, 

Aurora. 

Wow!! As usual, another amazing update! But please, Never Apologize for a Long Chapter!! As far as I am concerned, the longer the better! It gives us so much more to enjoy! 

Kagome is so classy! I feel bad for Sesshomaru at times. But then, I remember how he used to be, how insensitive and self serving he was, and I decide that he has not suffered enough! I love sensitive, sweet Kagome, but I also love this strong, assertive, intelligent woman who rises like a phoenix from the fires that have devastated so much of her life! She rises above anyone and shines, sparkles as if a mythological creature appears to glow and the beauty and awe that others feel in her presence is well deserved.

I am not a sadist, but I do believe in justice, and I feel that many times some of the punishment dealed to others, never ft their crimes!

Forgiveness is a wonderful thing, for hate will only harm those who feel it, but justice and reparations need to be made before someone forgives the pain and tribulations others have dished.

I love your portayal of the anguish, the raw emotions, the pain, the absolute redemption of your characters, it really is magic to read each and every chapter! I am so, so grateful for the opportunity to read this story! I was beginning to go stir crazy waiting for your update! This story has become my oasis in the desert, and I crave with desperate need every update! 

I have been reading fanfiction for almost 2 decades now, and there has been hundreds, upon hundreds of stories that have become memorable, but this one has shot into one of my top absolute favorites and now that you have me hooked, I feel like an addict, checking every day to see if there is a fix for my addiction! Please have mercy and don't ever leave this story without completion!

Once again, thank you for your time and work into writing this amazing tale! As everyone here will tell you, please update soon again, it is killing all of us to see what happens next!!

Sending you a warm hug and best wishes:

Loving it so far.  I would have insisted on that little twits apology not his. I know I haven't commented on your fic lately and it keeps getting better. Looking forward to many more lol!! Have a great Thanksgiving. I know he's getting help for his drinking problem but he has so many others. 

Thanks for updating and I can't wait to read more!!! :) Love when Kagome is a BAMF. 

It's been a while since I left a comment, but I am still following your story. 

I like how Kagome has grown. She's definitely stronger yet still has her vulnerable side. If you're able to help your miserable ex like nothing happened, after everything she has been through, then you're a warrior.

Thanks for writing this and I will look forward for the next chapter! 

Geez I knew Sesshomaru was a asshole towards Kagome but it comes out more & more All I can do is shake my head 

I pray that you will update the next chapters really soon because I can't handle the anticipation. I can't get it out of my mind. I want to know what happens next. 

I have an exam coming up soon but I know that I won't be able to focus on it now T_T...  

The anticipation is killing me.  

Lovingly and impatiently waiting, 

Aurora Darlene. 

Oh my God, my hands are shaking from the excitement of reading this chapter.. . Thank you for updating. .. This was such a great chapter for Kagome to show her new self. I love that she is standing up for herself and showing Sesshomaru how much he doesn't know her. I love this Kagome. I hope she'll continue to be strong-willed and mature. I pray that she finds her happiness. Can't wait to read the next chapter. Please, please, update soon. I'm shaking from anticipation.

Holly Shirt!!! That was one of the most awesome, amazing, gut churning chapters ever!! I was reading the entire thing with my nerves so tense you could have used me as a bow to shoot an arrow! Wow!! Jusy forking wow!!

I could write entire pages about this, but I am sure I am not the only one of your readers who was just blown away and there are probably tons of people saying the same thing!! HOW DO YOU DO IT?? How do you write something so emotional, so intense, so amazing and leave us there??

AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I will totally blame you if I can not sleep untill the next update!! This does not bode well for me!! I know myself well, I am going to keep coming back and reading, and re-reading until I can almost recite the entire thing just because the rollercoaster of emotions gives me such a jolt!! It's like being an adrenaline junkie who needs to constantly keep life at an edge just to feel alive!! I am hooked and not just like Sesshoumaru, but worse, much worse! Like a heroin addict, I will bite my nails, pull my hair out, cry and beg until my next fix! How you torture me! How you give me life!

If I was asked to describe it, I would say: "It almost feels like a life full of color, sound, and indescribable sensations, that is so bright and beautiful, and while it lasts it's better than anything, it's impossible to describe! It must be what true bliss feels like, and when you are there you never want to let it go, you never want it to end, but when it finally does, the anguish, the desolation, the pain, is just so dark and deep that you would do anything to make it end, to make it stop and to go back to that magical place!!" I am so addicted to this story!! It is not cheesee! It's so intense!! I would never consider this anything beyond amazing!! God I love it!! 

I need tea, incense, zen!! I need to come down and relax, I am so high strung I could bolt at any second! 

Thank you for writing and sharing with us, it is absolutely amazingly generous of you to give us your time and work, and believe me when I say that we apreciate it very, very much!! 

Best wishes and much love:

MidCat

This whole thing is throwing me in a loop. I don't know if they should be on speaking terms. @_@! I need to know how this turns out.

Thank you for another update.  I look forward to the next chapter!

I'm crying, you're crying, everybody's crying! ;_; You're tearing me apart!
