Yes, I am one of those who doesn't simpathise with Sesshomaru. How can I? He went through her mail and knew how she felt about the situation, he even rescued her from his father's attempt of rape and knew how she felt about sex. he also knew she didn't like the idea of being a breeder and still went for it. So no. I can't take his side. However I also think she needed the information she has now about the situation and that Sesshomaru never clearly provided but that's so malish (males have the tendency to not provide enough enformation even when clearly asked for, and I know what I'm talking about). So, my next question is, how is Kagome going to cope with all the information she's been provided with and what is Sesshomaru going to learn at her mother's?

God i love this story every time I get on Dokuga I look for this story. i completely understand in chapter 21 and sympathize with Sesshoumaru as well as Ksgome. Its killing me to wait for another chapter, but I guess I survive long enough to make it to chapter 23.

You are an awesome writer. I love the way you have pictured Kagome. She isn't weak nor cold hearted. I've read every one of your author's notes and I agree with you for I too have taken psychology. Please continue. Much love and support.

Great chapter!!!! Thank you for introducing a character like Tomiko, because she is helping Kagome to understand the other part of the story. I hope Sesshoumaru also understands the for her is difficult and that every action requires patience and love.

ok i get the rape chant. i just want you to update as soon as you can! i love this story and love it when you update fast!!!")

Okay, throughout the story I have come to realize that people, readers that is, are going to believe and think what they want and for most nothing is going to change their minds. This is all well and good, but to totally disregard Sesshomaru’s culture in all of this is not fully understanding all that is and will go on in this story. Feeling bad for Kagome is a natural thing, because most if not all of us understand why she is/was so adverse to her treatment and marking. But we must realize that she no longer resides in Germany, she is now in Japan and as such marking is acceptable and honored. So completely taking Kagome’s side on things and not even trying to understand Sesshomaru’s is a bit much people. What Kagome must do is understand that she is not in Germany anymore and move on; granted it would help if Sesshomaru would explain things to her, but until he has been sufficiently “trained” for lack of a better word we all have to take what we can get; which unfortunately for most of us is an emotionally inept being who would rather cut off his own nose to spite his face. But we all know this, so it’s not a surprise. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I am thoroughly enjoying reading this story and can’t wait to see if Kagome and Sesshomaru can ever get things figured out.

I have to agree. I feel sorry for Sess. To have someone you care for and be so stunted as to not be able to explain it nor show it properly. Although he did rape her, which was heinous, him raising her to breeder would have been more accepted, or at least she would have heard him out more if he had explained it properly. Hopefully his Mom and his step-father will straighten him out somewhat.

Thank you so much for your new chapter! I really enjoyed reading it! I'm glad that Kagome has such a wonderful maid. I'm so thankful that she has someone there to help her understand what she is going through. I also really appreciate what you said at the end of your chapter. I so agree what you stated about rape. It bothers me, also, how many times when Kagome, or another character, is raped but then they fall in love immediately with their attacker. That is just wrong. On that note, please protect Kagome from Sesshoumaru's horrid father. I really hope that she has gone through enough!

when are we geting a another update on this story you keep updating the other story but what about cultural differences come on i'm dying here for the next update (^_^)

Does Kagome end up with Sessharomeru or that nice boy?

Does Kagome like this new guy?

Why is there the same Question on every one of the review thing?

why is Sessharomeru being nice to Kagome?Never mind. But is Inuyasha going to be in this any more?

Sessharomeru is mean but he has his nice side.

Sessharomeru's Father is S.I.C.K SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not a writer myself so I am not here to contradict what you have written but to praise you your storyline is so deep and you can see so many emotions and details in your writing I truly liked this story please finish it.Also thank you for writing I know sometimes people don't appreciate the authors as much.Amazing story. Sincerly, Moonlightkissed

that was done beautifully. i thought i was going to cry during their argument. I can't read the next chapter.

I finally just caught up with this story, and OMG Kags is soooooo upset in that last chapter!! And Sess doesn't know what the hell is going on! But i thought it was good that Kags finally had her big freak out, it does wonders for the story line and makes complete sense with Kags situation, ya know. Just cause she's enjoying being him, as a 'friend' does not mean she wants to hop straight into bed with him as his breeder! Looking forward to seeing how Sesshomaru is going to make things right with her, or to see just where things go for them now!!

That was very intense. I had wondered when Kagome would snap and boy did she snap. I would like to know how Sesshou will fix this mess he's created. Will he go visit his mother? Will she be able to help Kagome and Sess be on good terms again? I really enjoy the intense emotions you portray for the readers. I look forward to how Kagome will deal with Sesshou from now on... will she be able to look at him the same way before he took her innocence? Keep up the good work and update soon :P
