*Wipes sweat from brow* Whew! Thank you so much for giving him another chance. It' is an odd chapter, but I remember the scene from the fairytale and I agree that it is an important part of the story. I have really been enjoying this, it is so very well written!

Well done..a very different take on the whole "Who do have to protect?" scene. I loved it.

I think this is my favorite chapter so far!!!!!!  I'm still trying to get a clear picture of the clearing with the funnel web, but that will likely come when I read it over again, and again because I like it so much. ^_^  You have improved so much since TBM and your stories plain rock.  Thank you for writing so beautifully and keep up the great work!  Update soon, pleaaaaasseee...!! ^o^)/*

Awesome!

Congratulations The Nightingale has won first place for best drabble in the Dokuga 4^th quarter awards. You can pick up your awesomely made banner, complements of the lovely Priestess Skye, at http://www.dokuga.com/images/awards/banners/9/8/1883.png. Congrats again and keep up the amazing work :).

this is an awesome idea for a story! you leave me in suspense every time... cant wait for another update :)

Sorry, I think you've made a small error in the first sentence and also in the second last paragraph where Kagome is speaking :)

I hope Kagome and Sesshoumaru have faith in one another so they can get through this! As always, you really know how to say more with less.

God, I love Kagome's resolve. And despise Naraku.

oh, please please please please please don't let this have a sad ending...PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!

Wow, this story got exciting all of a sudden.  A lot happening in this chapter!

woooo... so much drama. lovely!

I actually want Kagome to accept Hojo's proposal. Though of course I want her to end with Sess in the end. I just want to know how things would turn out if she accepts, Sess finds out...etc..

I love the way this story is going!

i hope she says yes to hojo and then sess comes for her and stops it before the wedding! or somthing like that lol.

i hope this story can have a happy ending.

Rosie, this seems so hopeful, but I know you're going to make me cry again. There is so much heartache in this story. Somehow you manage to keep the dark cloud just at the edge of our vision.

:l  <-- unamused  DX  this will not end well

I just came upon your story, I couldn't stop reading it. Very Good! please continue!? I can't wait to read what else happens!

And once again you break my heart.

I am so happy that even with Kikyo still in his palace, Sesshoumaru feels Kagome's loss.  I feel sorry for him, but it was his choice.  Kagome's choice too of course, but now she will probably find that she doesn't belong anywhere.  Thanks for the updates!

I'm crying already in anticipation of what's coming. I know this is going to end very, very, very sadly.

You are breaking my heart. I know how the story goes, I just hope there's some happiness in it for them both.
