I love this story.  I was a little confused in this chapter to find there is a concubine, in the last chapter I thought the lady's maid served as a housemaid because there were no females in the household.  But anyway, the concubine's jealousy could prove interesting in upcoming chapters.  Can't wait for more! 

This is wonderful!

Was Kagome injured too much to remember that Sesshoumaru wants to trade her for Rin?  Or does she not care?  I was confused about the tea, probably because I have absolutely no manners.  :)  Why, if she spilled when pouring the second cup did she get that one?  Wouldn't the mess be on the second cup, not the first?  Thanks for the update.  Please post again soon.

This is so interesting!

Beautiful writing! 

Great chapter, like the look into the inner workings of Sesshoumaru's mind. Also like seeing Kagome standing up some for herself and hope she keeps doing it. BTW... you're right that it never came up in Sesshoumaru's presences in the anime about Kagome being from the future.

Like how you did Sesshoumaru's little manner house... you got Jaken's personality done wonderfully and I'm looking forward to see if Kagome let's herself be beaton down during the meal.

Awesome chapter, like how Kagome took out the demon bird and wondering how she got the name. Love what she said to Sesshoumaru at the end.

A very vivid and colorful chapter, wonderful work on how you are describing both the scenes and the powerful emotions of the characters.

A very good beginning, wonderful work with how well you write everyone's personalities.

I swear, those two. Haha. There's such tension in this chapter. Angry tension, not that other kind. XD Too bad Kagome can't keep a handle on her mouth. I liked that bit at the end. Kagome doesn't know how to pour tea and Sesshoumaru is like, "What?!" They're both so stubborn. Keep up the good work. I'm excited for the next chapter.

Hummmm I thinnnk........... I love it! ;)i

I'm confused.  Why did Sesshoumaru take Kagome back to his palace?  Was he afraid that she was so injured that the miko holding Rin wouldn't accept her in exchange?  As much as I like Kagome and Sesshoumaru together, it just seems that he would be more eager to get Rin back.  He has no idea what is happening to her.  Someone could be treating her as bad as he has treated Kagome.  Wonderful update!  Please post another chapter soon.  I have a feeling that Kagome is going to ruin this dinner.

This story is very interesting. You portray the characters really well. I'm excited for the next character. I get an odd feeling that an argument is going to ensue. Oh well, surprise us! ^^ That little scene where Kagome threw the pillow at Jaken was pretty funny. Keep up the good work.

Dear lord. I can so see Kagome 'not-so-accidently' spilling tea in his lap. lol. This is going to be interesting.

Oh is kagome going to find out why this is all going on?

AH! That was awesome! I loved her last comment towards him. It's gettting really interesting and I can't wait to see what happens.

Good luck on your midterms!

This is great. :) I love how Kagome does everything to get away and then finally just steps up and decides to show Sesshoumaru that she's stronger than he thinks she is. :) update soon

Oh, Sesshoumaru is going to be mad!  I hope he doesn't punish Kagome for her disrespect.  I'm glad that Kagome rescued Jaken though.  Even though he's been mean to her, he did try to protect her.  Even though he won't admit it, I'm glad that in some ways he is fond of Rin.  I just wish that Kagome knew what was going on.  If she did, maybe she could help Sesshoumaru get Rin back!  Great chapter!  Can't wait for your next update!  :)

;_: oh no. Poor shippou and Poor kagome. Ouch. Can't wait to read the next chapter.

Why does Sesshoumaru blame Kagome?  Does he really think that he has kept Rin a secret?  Of course everyone who has seen him traveling around would know that Rin was his weakness.  Poor Kagome.  First to be injured by Sesshoumaru then to be delivered to those who will hurt her more.  My heart is breaking for her!  Please let Sesshoumaru at least find out that this is not Kagome's fault!  Can't wait for more!
