Amazing insight into Sesshoumaru's character in this chapter, but it breaks my heart how messed up his perception is! I figured Kagome's reluctance stemmed not from her using Sesshoumaru in Inuyasha's place, but more that she felt like she was betraying Inuyasha for truly falling for Sesshoumaru. Dysfunction, indeed. It's never easy for these kids, is it? Another great chapter.

Another good chapter, please keep it up. I don't know who I pity more, Kagome for her mixed feelings and for how she is now being ignored by Sesshoumar or Sesshoumaru himself simply for how he thinks and what he's been though hmmm....much to think about

hey- thanks for updating soon. I love this fic and I hope that Sesshomaru realizes that Kagome's not so bad after all and that he doesn't leave her 'for the dead' so to speak. take care and update soon! -Lady Nefertiti.

Aww poor Kagome... I wonder what's gunna happen now if she does return to the group and what would the others think of her stay. :P Really enjoy reading this, good jobs so far. Though when scolding kagome he seemed a little OOC to me

I just read your entire story and I must say I'm impressed but you cannot just leave it at that, this is far too good so write like the wind bulls-eye lol

aww dammit! would u be posting what was going on thru Sesshy's head too? cus i'd REALLY like to know... /evil grin. damn cliffhangers... >_^ love the work!!!

I really like how this story is turning. Your flow is good, as always, and I enjoy the way you depicture emotions. The characters are not OOC, even if Sess is looking a bit... How to say? Amiss with his own emotions. Well, I think it is quite easy to know why he could be a bit puzzled about his own feelings. He seems to have missed affection too. He needs a good Miko hug. (another one I mean lol) ^_^ Keep the good work ;) dewa mata

Flawless characterizations. Flawless and cannot wait to read more. You rock!

I've enjoyed this so far and hope t see more of it soon. I'm curious as to what will happen next.

This is a great story and first chapter keep up the awesome work.

i like it so far. he is and she are both totally in character, i can almost see this happening on an episode. =] great work.

Great allure with the characterizations... They follow the originals quite well. I'm excited to see how this story will continue. Good job!

Wonderful story! I love how I can actually hear Sesshoumaru say the things you've written. That doesn't happen very often, unfortunately. Anyhoo, can't wait for the update! Make it soon please.

I'm so glad you updated. Love this fic. Kagome's vagueness about Inuyasha is hilarious as well is Sesshomaru's stamina to not kill her on the spot for her aloofness about the subject.

KUDOS! I'm already liking it. Even if this is a common plot-line, you've handled it so well and in such a unique way that it's refreshing instead of tired. The characterization is spot on. And the spelling and grammar is excellent. Good work! I can't wait for the update.
