I really enjoyed this chapter. It had quite the combination of everything to make it quite interesting and quite the show. I wanna saw poor Kagome but she's in the best kinda worst situation. I wonder how she is going to deal with this...in fact I wonder how Sesshoumaru and INuyasha are going to handle this and how this will affect their journey. I can't wait for more!!
To TWLOAP,
I have two words: A. MAZING! Or is that one word? Yeah,l pretty sure that's just one. But that's the effect your story has on me!!! I simply adore this story and the humor, romance, and intensity you weave into your words. It has effectively become my top favorite fanfiction - EVER. I read the entire thing in one sitting (ONE!), and that's saying, well, a whole lot, considering I, too, am a college student with limited amounts of spare time on my hands. Please continue! And I emplore you to keep your updates fairly regular. I am literally on my hands and knees wiothh a tray of cookies!!
As for your question at the beginning of chapter thirty, I believe I am speaking for most of your readers (especially the ones that have yet to say anything :/) when I say that calling your masterpiece, well, a masterpiece, is a tad bit of an understatement. I have yet to read a fanfiction to portrays both Sesshomaru and Kagome so well at once! I love it. I. Love. It. You have done everything so incredibly well so far, I could go on for hours! I especially love how you portray Sesshomaru and his struggle with his emotions - his little outburst last chapter seemed most befitting. As a fellow fanfiction author, I find that Sesshomaru, ironically, is one of the most difficult characters to embody accurately, but you have done just that. Please, please keep writing!
Sincerely, Your fellow batshit-crazy-stupid-busy-college-mate, ErinNicole <3
The story is good
the story is fine
here is an author who
likes same things as I'm
Each chapter closed with some beautiful words
are often funny and clever that can't go unheard
so go on with writing as much as you can
and people will read and rhyme in return.
Like it!

Hey! It's a great chapter; don't worry about it! There were a couple typos that I caught, but nothing that came off as awkward or poorly done. You did a tremendous job portraying Inuyasha's struggle with his brother's confession, and a great job with Kagome's struggle as well. I laughed super hard at the 'poor, brain-damaged Kagome' bit.
Anywho, as for the mistakes, the first one I noticed is during the confrontation between the brothers, when you have Inuyasha saying 'he outta rip Sesshomaru's throat out'. I believe you meant 'ought to', or - in slang - 'oughta'.
Another that I caught was when Sesshomaru is telling Inuyasha about courtship rituals, and I believe you meant to write 'fall upon his shoulders to...', but instead you put 'wall upon his shoulders...'
Also, when Kagome is thinking about Sesshomaru's odd behavior, it states that she wants to 'ignore the strange behaviors of make youkai'. I'm guessing you mean 'male'.
Then, not much longer after that, Sesshomaru is 'still starring at her'. Should be 'staring'. In the same sentence, you say that he's 'terrible at subtly'... subtlety...
After they are summoned, there is a little bit where you just miss a space. Sesshomaru raised an elegant browin... and then after that, he glances passed her shoulder. It should be past.
I just wanna say I'm not trying to be a know-it-all, but I thought you might appreciate it. I know I have days where my ability to edit seems to just disappear, and I really love it when people point my boo-boos out for me. There were a few more, but I wanted to stop here because I felt like I was starting to sound snotty or something. If you would like me to point out the other ones I spotted, you could message me.
Sorry for all that. Now, allow me to take this time to praise you again. It is - despite the few errors - an amazing chapter, and I think you should be proud of it. As a fellow author, I have chapters that I struggle with, and even after I finish and post them, a lot of the time I am unsatisfied with the final product. You're your own worst critic, and all that. So just remember to go easy on yourself.
Awesome!!! XDXDXD

I'm really enjoying this story and I have to say, I admire you for taking the hard road of making her choose!! :)
Can't wait for an update!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Absolutely loved this chapter. The way you wrote Sesshoumaru was wonderful. His awkwardness and seeing that cool, self assurance crack a bit was great! Please please write more soon.

*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES* OMG love love love love love ^.^ So that was awesome I love how you're going about their relationships and Kagome's reaction was priceless. PRICELESS!!!! *bounces around* I await the next chapter eagerly! *SQUEEEEEEEE!*
On a more serious note I think you're doing a great job portraying Sesshy and Kagome! Keep up the great work :)
I have ideas. I sent you a message containing them. I tried to think of the best way to make it so that the men could court her without her being pulled around like a chew toy and being forced to be the bad guy. I think Kagome is strong and is wise beyond her years when it comes to managing people's feelings. She has spunk, but she always treats people with compassion. I tried to keep that in mind when I pitched my ideas to you. I hope they will be helpful and please take them or leave them as you see fit :)
Now for my review: There were many little things that I enjoyed about this chapter. I liked Kagome's internal monologue where she's examining her feeling for both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. I think it shows that even though she's young and sometimes has teenage-esque melt downs, she's fully capable of making sense of her emotions and examine a complex issue.
I also liked that even though Sesshoumaru has been placed in a vulnerable position ( he essentially has put his heart out on a silver platter for her) he still quipped and taunted with her in the hallway. It showed that there's still a balance of power. Having your feelings out there when they're not necessarily fully requited yet could be a potentially very embarrassing and emasculating experience. Two things which quite frankly, just don’t' suit Sesshoumaru at all. It's been a little stressful as a reader. I found myself worrying that Sesshoumaru was going to make a fool of himself. However, showing his vulnerability, yet still having him still be who he is eases the tension. That's why I'm glad you put that scene in. His outburst in the last chapter was very impactful. It showed off all the smoldering passion lying beneath that cool, controlled exterior. Yum Yum ^_^ hehe. And in this chapter, having him trip over his own words in a very uncharacteristic way was very cute. I think you had him recover quickly enough so that it wasn't OOC.
The only thing I think I didn't like that much was the way all the men were drooling over Kagome at the banquet while Sango got left in the dust. I just thought it seemed a little overboard. Kagome doesn't have to be this overtly sexual Goddess to be desirable and she doesn't need every man in the room falling at her feet to prove that point. Yes she is beautiful, yes she is special and powerful. These qualities make her ideal for the men who are pursuing her. I guess I just didn't think Sango had to become chopped liver to show that off. I think Miroku would be seeing Sango the way Sesshoumaru sees Kagome -_- Anyways, it's just a little thing, please don't take it too seriously. I only bring it up because while her looks are important, I don't think it's her showcase quality (that would be her strength of heart).
Anyways, I don't blame Kagome for having a small freak out. It would be a little overwhelming to feel like you suddenly have to decide who you're husband's gonna be right then and there. Hopefully she calms down and see that it doesn't have to be that way. I enjoy this story. Keep up the good work!
Interesting! Poor Kagome. I don't blame her for panicking. Put in the situation she was, I would probably panic, too. Eagerly awaiting more!

This is a great story.. I love your sense of humor.. excuse me... Kagome's internal monologue... It's spectacular.. I think your doing a very good job of showing how the 2 would fall for each other. I think the trickier part is to get Inu to back down I guess. Good luck and I look forward to seeing more of this story.

What a great chapter! I'm glad that Sesshomaru has made a decision and followed the rules by including Inuyasha. I can't say I'm surprised at Kagome's reaction to being asked to be courted by both brothers - when you think you have a handle on life, only to be thrown a huge curveball! I'd want to go to my mommy too!
It seems like Inuyasha is putting himself out as a candidate only for the sake of keeping Kagome to himself - my concern is that he is doing it for the wrong reasons - just to spite his brother and not because he truly loves Kagome and can't live without her. Sesshomaru is only just beginning to understand his feelings.
Great job!
