What an amazing chapter!  I like Kagome's talk with Naomi.  Even through Kagome's jealousy, she was able to understand the truth in Naomi's words.  I'm so happy that Kagome is going to keep trying with Sesshoumaru.  That she has forgiven him for his mistake!  I hope, however, that she is a little harder on Inuyasha.  After all of the times he has belittled her, I think Kagome needs more from him than just his assurances that he's not going to persue her anymore.  Thank you so much for the new update!  Please post your next chapter soon!

Hmmm.  Makes sense.

I just want to say that I think you're an amazing writer. The way you portray and detail every character is just remarkable. This is the first fanfiction that i've been so drawn and in to. Hope to see an update soon!  

Gah! I almost want to cry at how long I've waited for an update >,< it's been so long, Texanlady! I LURV YOU! lol anywho c;

I absolutely LOVE how Inuyasha's finally getting it through his oh-so-very thick skull that he's not meant to be w/our 'Gome. Or.. rather, Sesshoumaru's 'Gome c; *snicker*. Ano, I sure do hope Sesshoumaru and 'Gome fix things. I can't WAIT till next chapter. Pains me so much to see how 'Gome's going about w/her feelings. Absolutely love how you portray her as an actual human being rather than this elivated perfect person. Your writing skills are absolutely amazing.

Ya, finially another chapter. I love the way the story is turning out. Keep up the good work and let Kagome stay mad if I was her I would have beatin Sessh into a bloody pulp.

Hello Texan lady!

Sorry I haven't had a chance to review for a while but, classes have kept me busy!

Wow this story is getting pretty angsty(I like!)..........I feel the tension between Kagome and Sesshoumaru's relationship. I understand both of their view points in the story. I find it interesting that many people reviewing are saying kagome's character in this story is very close minded.......but not Sesshoumaru's? In my opinion there both at falut in there own way.........and their also have some points to consider.

I feel for kagome, she feel's betrayed once again..........except this time it's worse, because she's not a virgin anymore. If I were to lose my virginity........without knowing that said person I was losing it too, was attached, I would be pretty shaken up. I think people should give kagome a little bit of a break, she is a nine-teen year old girl, and like every nineteen year old's she's going to get emtional we all do sometimes. I understand her emtions fine......even the jealously! Were human's and we tend to get jealous/possessive at times, but we learn to deal with eh, ne? Also, from the story it seems like the main reason she didn't understand that Sesshoumaru had something to hide is, because she was straight forward and honest with Sesshoumaru from the very beginning..........so Kagome probably though that he was going to be thes same! I don't think people realize that Kagome's character is having all this stuff thrown at her in the course of a couple of day's.........since this story is an epic it's going to take some time for Kagome to get over all this.

I like the fact that all these emotions and doubts are coming to the surface to begin with........show's character depth and growth!

Along those lines as well..........I feel for Sesshoumaru as well, he's having a hard time and is also hurt. But is character just isn't as emotional or even forecoming at times. Because of this though, he's mystical.......aloof and just sexy ;).

I know it'll take some time, but Kagome and Sesshoumaru with work it out!

On to other things, I really like the fact that Kagome is standing up and taking charge. Although the demure, hestiant kagome is nice at times...........it's nice to see take charge and let people know she's not fraglie and it's not okay for people to hide stuff from her! I know I don't appreciate when people do that to myself!

Inuyasha can be a little hard-headed sometimes. But I think he's finally starting to realize that Kagome and him are just friends and he needs to look for his destiny else where.

As always taro character holds a special place in my heart. Since i'm the mediator/pacifier in my family I can relate to him in many ways.

As always thankyou for the wonderful chapter Texanlady!

I'll be looking forward to the next one!

please updata

Hi there!! Sorry i have been absent, kids have a way to make everything 2-3 times more complicated than they should be. But they wouldn't be the aple of my eye if that was not the case, they keep me in my toes!!

This was a really heartwarming chapter! I loved the conversation between Inuyasha & Kagome's mom!! I hate to see him described as the "asshole bad guy", and was happy to see that you gave him some redeeming qualities that make him seem more human, more like someone who has experienced a large range of emotions and has learned from the huge mistakes done in the past. I applaud you for writing his character like that! After all, time has a way to change everything, the constant drop of water falling upon a rock will eventually change it's form, and so time changes even the most hardened individual into something else; perhaps no better, or worse, but always different. God knows I am nothing like what I used to be years ago, and those who knew me back then would be shocked to see the way I am today and how much I have changed.

The fact that Inuyasha is facing his emotions and reality thanks to the conversation he has had, makes this story much better for it!

Moving on, Kagome is suffering, but at the same time causing suffering in those around her, her pain is just overwhelming her reasoning and creating more grief than necessary, I hope she too will see things in a different light soon and finally allow things to slowly begin to move on.

As always, you delivered another great chapter and as usual, I look forward to the next one with anticipation.

Your gift as a writer shines every time and I find myself basking in it every time a new chapter is up!!

Please update soon and remember that the fans are always looking forward to more from you!!

Many hugs and much love:

MidCat.

I understand Kagome. Sesshoumaru is mated, mistake or not. But he was sleeping around with other women. I think Kagome’s problem is not that he was sleeping with other women over the 500  years but that he was mated when he did this. How can Kagome be sure he will not do this when they are mated? It is not easy to trust someone who can this easily cheat on his mate. And it will take time for her to trust him that he truly loves her and would never do this to her. Well, this is my opinion.

I like your story. Cannot wait for the next chapter.

(Sorry for my bad english. I’m from germany. ^^)

Okay; I have to admit that I've just spent the past four hours reading your epic. Even locked my husband out of the computer room so he would leave me alone. Yes, there are a few typos and missed words here and there...but WOW! This has been a first rate E-ticket ride from the very beginning. And it thrills me that it's not over yet! I need another box of tissue...

Also, thank you SOOOO much for talking up DOKUGA. I had no idea it was out there, and admit to following you here. Call me noob; whatever..8>)

It just makes me angry that kagome is hapring on this stupid notion that sesshomaru

was mated. she didn't care one way or another about him. and I just don't like her pulling his

strings like this. I hope she gets told off by sess's old lover. I hope that she gets a dose of

reallity. I still burns me that she ask to see her.

what was he supossed to be (pure)! for her for over 500years. That kind of selfrightes attitude

I just can't stand. Yes he lied about him still being mated and that was wrong. But that was the only thing

he was wrong about.

What a wonder story keep up the good work.

That was such a good and interesting chapter. Poor Inuyasha though. Hopefully he finds happiness soon.

All the sadness and pain. I'm close to tears reading this.  I hope things get better soon.

I can see where Kagome is coming from, trust, it is a pertinent emotion with so many draw backs. Seems like once a trust has been broken, it is so hard to repair. I think Kagome's actions are real and her character is correct! Great Chapter!

You're back, you're back!!  Yay!  Thank you so much for the update!  Part of me wishes that Inuyasha would get together with Kagome's mother.  Kagome isn't the only one who has suffered from pain and neglect.  Kagome's mother has gone through the death of her husband, her daughter traveling through the well, and now the upcoming battle.  She deserves some happiness too!  I just hope that Inuyasha doesn't try to interrupt Kagome and Sesshoumaru's conversation.  They need to talk things out.  I'm glad that Inuyasha is going to let Kagome go, but I really hope that he stops calling her a whore and treating her so badly.  Maybe he needs to learn what a real friend is.  Kagome needs some!  Can't wait for more!  Please post another chapter soon!

You really did an outstanding job with the talk between Amaterasu and Kagome. Awesome story and I can't wait for more!!

Wispr

I really love how you did Kagome's talks with her friends and family. You captured the emotion of the scene very well.

Wispr

Wonderful work with the talk between Kagome and Sesshoumaru... again you got their characters personalities done to a "T".

Wispr

Oh can't wait for Kagome to unleash on Azumi... also on Sesshoumaru a bit... he deserves a bit of hell also.
