I just binge read this entire thing. This story is amazing! I normally only read completed stories but yours snared me and I'm anxiously waiting for the next chapter

...So was the vision prompted by the sword? The language was off and a giveaway almost immediately, but it read as a manifstation of Sesshomaru’s insecurities. Does he really think all that about Kagome or was it projections from that discussion? Does he not pay attention at all?
 

Way to waste a perfectly good day of privacy. Two steps forward, nine steps back. Well, at least they are moving along, even if it is at a snail’s pace. And they have more info on the pumas and some recon that will be useful against the tigers (and will help in general) Sesshomaru still did divulge. Maybe once they reach Sango and Miroku they will finally talk about the magic and the diminishing cat populations.

I am wondering if we will get an update on Jaken and Ah Uh. Are they alive? Captured? Still flying around in random directions for info on Rin?

So every story Miroku tells will end up a lived truth, or just the one? LOL I cannot believe they keep making the same mistakes. Do not rush - rushes Be aware of your surroundings - Kagome and Inu run around unaware. I am surprised the have made any progress with these side missions. Four days behind schedule and counting. Rin will be mulch by the time they get to girl. I need Inuyasha-tachi to get their shit together already.

Loving long chapters <3

With his resoning of coupling her and then leaving her, this is going to backfire on him so badly. I hope karma bites him good for his ignorance. But as a woman I am disappointed in Kagome allowing this. She should nip it in the bud.

I THOUGHT Kagome was acting OOC....I was concerned  it might be an imposter. Makes sense it was an introspective fantasy on Sesshomaru's part. Thank you for continuing your work! The chapter was both delightfully detailed and long!  Looking forward to your next update!

I THOUGHT Jaime was acting OOC....I was concert it might be a an imposter! Makes sense it was a introspective fantasy on Sesshomaru's part. Thank you for continuing your work! The chapter was both delightfully detailed and long!  Looking forward to your next update!

OMG, incredible citrus!!! Very well done, so much so that it was a shock when I got to the part where the lemon ended & we were back to square one. Awfully clever bit of writing there, m'dear, worthy of high praise indeed! Still think Sesshy is being a dolt about the whole thing, though. Looking forward to seeing where/when/if he realizes that he's being a dolt... I'm along for the ride & it's been a wild one so far!

:D

Amazing chapter! Keep them coming!

All I can say is WOW. I’m loving this slow burn between these two. Loved the lemon—actually relieved it was a fantasy lemon because Sesshoumaru’s version of Kagome is so mean! I loved Kagome realizing her healing potential and the comparison of youki. As always I can’t wait to see how you resolve the remaining drama—especially the lingering issue of the Shikon wish.

T.T my whole soul. My mantra was, "its someone else. It HAS to be someone else. No way is that Kagome." But then I was so upset because POOR KAGOME, SHE IS PROBABLY NEARBY SOMEWHERE, INCAPACITATED, WATCHING THIS FARCE. phew. What a wild ride THAT was. I'm so glad I was wrong. I love this story. It has been awhile since I left a review, but every time it is updated I devour the chapter and then wait anxiously for the next. I'm hoping once (if?) they save Rin, and once (if?) Sesshomaru turns back into a demon, that the story will continue for another few chapters at least. I am on pins and needles waiting to see how he will act once back to himself, how Kagome's relationship with Rin will be affected, the implications of Sessho being able to wield tessusiaga, what will happen once Sesshomaru learns Kagome errantly made him human and lied to him this whole time T.T Just so much to cover still. I am strapped in and ready to read the next chapter, be gentle with me.

What a dirty rotten trick you pulled!! Lol I've been reading darker fics of them so that was kind of on par with what Kagome would say in those but it was so OOC for this story I was so confused lol. Your reminder at the beginning kept me going thankfully. My favorite line in this whole story, "I'm a god." Lmfao!! Thank you for that laugh. Their whole role play was cute too I like seeing playful Sesshomaru. I guess now it's time to get serious though. They're getting closer and closer to Rin hopefully! When is she going to admit her wish to him?? They already basically admitted they love each other but she needs to come clean. Anyways amazing chapter!! Please update soon. 

I loved the chapter it was great.  At least now they got over their pent up frustrations lol....  Loved the chapter I thought that the soilders would find them when they were bathing, after Kagome healed them both.  Glad that didn't happen.  At least Sesshomaru knows of the soldiers  plans now and could use it to save the demons and the west.  Wonder what Inu Yasha and the others will think when they realize that Kagome and Sesshomaru bit the bullet.

Update Soon

Oh, WOW. This story has really sucked me in! I'm finally caught up after my week in the northwoods and LOVING all the developments!! Not to mention that such long, juicy chapters give me so much time to get lots of knitting done while I'm deeply absorbed. What a delightful bonus on top of such an intriguing, complex story. Then again, I've enjoyed ALL your stories... just haven't had much time to review unless I've MADE time. In this case, with this incredible tale, I had to make time. Thank you soooo much for your hard work and for posting your efforts here, it's GREATLY appreciated!!!

<3

I really enjoyed this chapter. I will admit last chapter I was a little frustrated that this excursion happened. I felt it was pulling away from the story but I was patient. Now I see why that chapter was needed to get to this. Loved this chapter. I liked that Sesshomaru told Kagome the truth. He didn't have to tell her she would have never known but he was completely honest with her. She never really got that with Inuyasha so I hope that helps Kagome see that Sesshomaru is serious about her. 

I'm glad that Inuyasha is also seeing that there might be something more too. Because he has never seen his brother act like this for anyone. I'm glad to see the quick update and the story is moving along. Hopefully, Kagome and Sesshomaru get closer and they meet the others and have news for Rin this next chapter. Great chapter can't wait to read more of this story. 

Once again, awesome chapter. So sad Coronacation is drawing to a close, but very much enjoyed the longer chapters while they lasted. I love how close Kagome and Sesshoumaru have become and how brave he was getting her out of there. I thought for sure she as going to get molested at least a little bit but Sess made sure that wasn't going to happen. Pretty funny how Sess got her to smoke some opium xD

It was annoying though how turned off Kagome was when Sess told her about having to kiss Juzo's wife - it was literally life and death and she was being so immature about it. Sigh. She needs to grow the f up and be a bit more understanding. The fact that he even bothered to tell her about it spoke volumes as to how honorable he is, and that's what should have counted, but instead she was like "well, I could've lived without knowing about it..." Nah. Time to put on the big girl panties and suck it up because shit happens and sometimes you have to do things you really don't want to do in order to survive, and she needs to come to terms with that. I dunno, maybe I'm asking her to grow up too fast or asking too much of her, but it was just a kiss and some groping. Maybe it would've been a lot more off-putting if he actually had sex with the woman, but that didn't happen. Perhaps she is holding Sesshoumaru's human virginity as high up on a pedestal just as she's put hers up as well. 

Like how Sess is still so deadly even as a human, and uses what he can to his advantage. A demonic diamond necklace definitely sounds like a weapon, and the fact that he murdered someone to protect her also speaks loads even when it hurt him to do so. Just a lot of tells as to how he feels about her already. Inuyasha asking, "Do you love her?" was a sweet conversation. Glad he could at least enlighten his brother the basics of what love can be so he can get it through his head that that's what he's actually feeling. 

All that said, I am dying to know what happens next. Love how painful this slow burn is....! I'm such a sadist lol Thank you for putting so much work into this story! I know I'm not the only one who appreciates your effort and time. <3 

What a wonderful chapter. So much drama, suspense, and love all in one. It felt like a story in itself because of the highs and lows and finally, a sweet conclusion. Bravo writing not only in Sesshomarus POV during the rescue, you had to think and strategize like the true fighter he is. The trio sleeping inside the tree, smoking opium and singing Ain't No Sunshine is truly one for the books. You continue to amaze with significant moments like these. Also, Inuyasha speaking on behalf of all of us - THANK THE LORD. Now only if Sess can stop being so stubborn. You even made him confess his moment with the other woman! My goodness.. the feels are real, what a tough topic. But talking about it definitely gave me closure! I'll just pretend like you did it for me, hah. Looking forward to more!  Thank you for being so dedicated to this story, and US during this time. You've definitely spoiled us. Wishing you the best! Enjoy the subshine and fresh air :) hope to hear from you again soon ????

I already love a supportive InuYasha. I hope they find Rin soon and that Sesshoumaru can be back to his demon self.

My favorite chapter!!

Looooved this! This is my favorite chapter yet!! Lots of admission and loving feelings they're all so cute and dedicated to each other and I love it lol. Lots of progress in my opinion! Don't worry about not updating as much we'll be here waiting! I'm curious why they didn't cross when it was just a stream so they'd be on the right side? Anyways amazing chapter and please update soon!! 

Well that was interesting. Why the hell did Inuyasha jump across like that? He knew it was an old rotted bridge, but putting two hundred plus pounds of force behind each jump was a good idea when two more people had to follow him? Such a dummy. And Kagome still hasn't learned to take care of herself, running after Inuyasha like that when he could take the fall. Now the three of them need to waste two more days circling around the river to the village.
