*squeal* Kawaii! Sesshomaru wants to understand so much! He cares for so very much! I don't know what to say. I can't wait for the next chapter! I'm addicted!

Wow, excellent story. I was having a little trouble with how violent Sesshomaru took Kagome in first few chapters, but have come to understand how necessary it is for this particular story. Well done. Looking forward to the update.

omg...he does truely love her i believe. i love her to. and him. i must read more before i go crazy

please do a oneshot of sesskag. and please update this story. you have all of us on edge and waiting for what the next chapter will be.

Sorry I didn't leave reviews earlier...I was out of the country for a while. Anyways...I love it. I'm glad they are finally starting to communicate to each other. I can't wait to read the next chapter. Please update soon.

That was really unexpected, but at the same time... I think that was about time that he confessed his love to her. Could you do a scene where Kagome questions him about his unexpected confession? My question is why did it take so long for him to say what he truly felt? And would this have changed things between him and Kagome if he had confessed at the beginning before the deal was made? Could you do a scene where Sesshou tries to answer these questions? I really love this fic and look forward to another update.... So write more and update soon :P

I love your story please update soon!

XD Yay! I like the developement of this story, and the twisted way of the feels. I'm curious to see how this will play out, seems messy. But at least now their on the same page.

she better tell him the truth. she likes him and i cant believe he said that. love it please update soon. ")

Great chapter. I still want Kagome to reject him because of all the pain he has caused her. Also for making her into something she is not, which is always obedient and submissive. Until Sesshomaru redeems himself to her and makes up for all of her suffering by his hand he does not deserve her. That is the only way to make this story end. I hope that you don't think I do not like your story because I do. I just think that to make this story work is for something like this to happen. Kagome should not forget all he put her through until he proves himself to her. It is not like Kagome to forget all the wrongs done to her. So she is unable to love him until then. I hope you understand my concerns about this situation. Keep up the good work. Please update soon.

Finally, some communication between the two of them. That was long awaited. :D I can't wait to see what you will come up with next. :)

to short a chapter more please!!!! Better Grammer than alot of other stories I've been reading. congrats.

Yay you updated :] That was very unexpected! :O Will Kagome teach Sesshomaru or is she still 'in love' with Inuyasha? D: Please update D: I want to know what's going to happen >.< The suspense kills D:

Congratulations on being nominated for the Dokuga Awards. You deserve it. This is an amazing story, and very creative. I'm trying to figure out how you are going to make things work out between Kagome and Sesshomaru. I know this is a dark fic, but... Sess is so sweet and determined, even though he is using nefarious methods to try to keep Kagome. I know Kagome (being who she is) has to SAVE Inuyasha. But it's just her own stubborn determination that is telling her she has to BE WITH Inuyasha, right? I mean, Inuyasha didn't treat her well, and if I were Kagome, the whole Kikyo thing, though it is now over, would be a real deal-breaker. WHY is she so determined to be with Inuyasha? YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO CHANGE HER MIND!

I love it!! everybody's breaking down (hana, kagome, sesshoumaru). i can't wait to see how the next installment is going to go. will sesshoumaru have his feelings tossed back at him? I love the wording and can't wait to just sit back and soak it in...hopefully without the need for a box of tissue. til next time :)

I love this story soooooo much....i can't wait to see how kagome reacts to the confession...plz update when u can...

Very good, wonderful story... does it end here, or is there more? I hope it didn't end... so much is left unsaid!

Man, this story just made me cry! I really feel completely sad for Kagome. You've built a great plot. The cultural differences twist me deeply. Regardless, I think Sesshomaru is unbelievbley cruel. I just don't care what perceptions are for youkai. I think I'm going to cry when Inuyasha actually awakens. I mean, what exactly is Inuyasha going to do? How can you mate with a woman who is mated to your brother/enemy? I mean there's also your Nephew/Step-son situation...? I don't know. This story is just intense. Please keep up the good work though! I'll definately check up on this story.
