Another bittersweet chapter that made my day! I'm envious of this aspect in their life - Living practically at the onsens complete with ryokans, that is. Wonderful chapter!

Awe :) sugary sweet chapter! I think I have a tooth ache now! XoxoOk 

Not unexpected but still very nice, can't wait to see the reunion.

I am so glad that not only were they reuinted with Izumi, but have taken the steps to begin their own journey together. Although they could have used Izumi to contact Sess' Mom and re-establish themselves in the West, this ryokan will be good for them. Although I'm sure they would love to greet their son, what they are doing is for the best. And I'm glad Izumi spoke the truth about the abadonment issues and did not cover them up. It will be hard, but I think together they have accepted their son's feelings and when the time is right they will address them together. Great update!

I will say that you have a great idea with this story. It's interesting and can easily captivate your audience. But there are quite a few grammar and spelling errors that keep me from fully enjoying this story. I know that I'm one one reader and my opinion doesn't matter that much, but I think editing this story would do alot of good. Good luck and I'll be sure to keep reading :)

God Bless!

I do like that you had everyone struggling with the decision and the fall out of it. It wasn't just an ok time to move on with my life and be awesome. Interesting way of having them make a living and yet very fitting. I can't wait to see what happens next and if their family will be reunited (and if they will have another child before they get to meet their first one) oh the drama :)

This chapter has so much despaire and hope!! <3 >W< I love your work!!!! each chapter that comes up is mind blowing!!!!!! All ways a thrill to read! <3

I've probably read this story 7-8 times now because I don't seem to get on when you update and so I don't see it until you've updated like 4 chapters and by then I've read so many other stories that I forget some of the details (which drives me crazy). Having read it that many times it still never fails to pull emotions from me. I fall into this story. I can really image what the characters are going through and I love your OC. They are well rounded and very well writen. I apoligize for not reviewing before now I really should have. I can't wait to read the next part as you continue to be such an amazing writer.

Well, their son must still be angry with them, if it is now modern times and he still hasn't shown himself to his parents.

Lovely.

I adore that it's from their point of view now.

YOU UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *HUGS A MILLION GAZILLION TIMES* Its nice to see that kags n sesshy have definite plans for their lives. And.....hehe its just a suspicion, but im guessing the owner of the ryoukan is a certain person they left behind!????

It is't criticism, but only my opinion... I saw left children. I heard cry the baby who after a birth was thrown by mother. At us such parents name "cuckoos". As is known these birds throw the eggs in another's nests. And then fly to enjoy a life as well as your characters... To me your reasonings on their "victim" aren't clear...  You'r excellent author! Successes! 

Finally, an update. Im so happy for this chapter. I hope you can continue this soon.

aww~!! ^^

this is a sad chapter, but at the same time progressive, and wonderfuo. i rather liked it!

great update! more soon, please!

NAAAAW!!!! I really love this chapter, the realistic way they go about adjusting their lives, especially emotionally. I look forward to seeing if they do meet and how everything goes down!

Out of all the controversy you have had surrounding the decision, finally the detractors should be able to understand how you were developing thois continued plot with this chapter. Not everyone who gives up a child is selfish or any of the sort. Those were extraordinary circumstances and Chie, you have done well. Thank you for not giving up on this story regardless of the bitter sentiments and accusations. I have and continue to enjoy what you have written. This chapter really reflected the depression felt by both, and in minimal words, Sess' was expressed even stronger as his insticts warred with him as well. The cloud is not fully lifted, but the rain has stopped falling for now. Excellent job love, cannot wait for more!

I have the usual mixed feelings: of happiness for their start at finding their niche in life, and sadness again at the remembrance of what they sacrificed. Another lovely chapter!
