i'm very very very happy with this update too! ^_^

OMG I pray that kiyoshi is going to be a healthy premature baby! I don't want them losing him! This was a very emotional chapter it had me crying my eyes out when she blamed their current situation on herself. Omg sooo many emotions are coursing through me right now. =) I can't wait for the next chapter! Omg this is the first fanfic that actually got me to cry. Congradations on that. Lol Update again very sooooon please!

OhmyfreakingGossh. I love you and I LOVE YOUR STORY. I honestly thought she was gonna give birth in this chapter, I guess not, since we got something so MUCH BETTER. Keep up the amazing work!! :)

Madison...I love your stories so much.  This one in particular is my favorite.  Thank you.  For everything.

Argh!!! Where is the doc already??? Oh my! What if Sesshoumaru has to deliver the pup himself @L@!  Well, this is BIG!

Oi' what a terriable place to be and pregnant non the less. Poor Kagome. But oh the baby is on his way. Can't wait!

OH MY FUCKING GOSH THAT WAS THE BIGGEST CLIFFHANGER EVER!! I am so worried and anxious right now about the next chapter. I hope that the baby is coming early....I don't want Kiyoshi to dieee. Omg Sesshomaru needs to early the fuck up and get there. Oh my gosh I knew that this chapter was going to be to have a  cliffhanger, but Come on! Lol i want to know what is going to happen! *crys* Oh my gosh this is going to take forever to update! I pray that the baby is fine and that sesshomaru is there before the baby gets hurt! I also hope that that watch no longer works. Man... sesshomaru should have known from the get go that he needed his beast!

i have to say the last chapter really shocked me since i didn't get to review for it, oops.i wanted to review but saw that you had another chapter posted. anyways i was gonna sat that the last chapter was the biggest cliffhanger in the story but ,alas, you've proven me wrong. this is the biggest cliffhanger!! soooo many questions!!! you have me ready to rip my hair out!! IS THE BABY OKKKKAAAYY??? im so tense right now, there are so many possibilities of what could happen! is kagome going to give birth earlier than planned or does baby kiyoshi die?? this is one rocking chapter you've written. hopefully whoever the intruder was, its was sesshomaru. i don't even wanna imagine what would if its's not sesshomaru. i was shocked and scared stiff for kagome. my heart almost stopped beating, too.

And my heart almost stopped beating too!! Oh please Sesshoumaru has to get to her fast! Wonderful chapter, I really, really hope for Sessh to be whole again soon. Those damned youkai deserve everything that's gonna fall upon them. I love to read this story, I became all excited everytime I see that you posted a new chapter. You are an awesome writter!!

EVIL CLIFFIE IS EVIL!!!

Nooooooo!!! You cant leave it at that! That last part was to much of a cliffhanger! LOL! Anyways Im so excited to read what happens next. Does the silence indicate that Sesshoumaru's beast has killed everyone in the vicinity? And the thick substance is that her blood (I think it is) or is it her water breaking? Im not liking the odds of what could happen to Kagome. Thank you for tis great chapter and PLEASE UPDATE SOON!

I had genuinely intended to read this chapter and review as I go along but HOLY CRAP this is some seriously good drama!!! THE BABY IS COMING. OMG. I am hyperventilating.

Don’t worry about the late update, my dear, you’re doing great with the story and the fact that you’re writing it is really good enough for all of us. As I always say, no one pays us for writing fanfics, so for all the trouble you go through as a fellow fan of this pairing, you deserve to be allowed to update as and when you feel like it. But well, even though I say that, LOL I cannot imagine not having this story to read. *hugggles*

Anyway, back to chapter 46 of Blood Stained! Now, poor Sesshoumaru’s desperation could be felt radiating off the screen. You wrote his thoughts and emotions very vividly, and OMG dear Beast, please please please do all you can to get her back! I practically gasped when the Beast lost ‘connection’ (I don’t know how else I could describe it), because human Sesshoumaru is really virtually useless in this situation! Kagome is in grave danger, and I really hope he can fly to be by her side ASAP. For once, I was chanting, “Go Go Beast!!!” It’s kinda ironical how I was totally chanting for her to run away from him in the past. That’s how Kagome is feeling, eh?

Yet even in the midst of the adrenaline-pumping drama, you’ve managed to make readers feel the improving ties between our favorite characters. The way Kagome had been calling out to Sesshoumaru throughout the entire time was very romantic, and the pain that they both felt was really sweet in an odd way. I want to kick him again (Sorry, Sesshy! I still love you, don’t worry!!) for how he has the tendency to blame himself when things go wrong. Of course, we know Kagome’s disappearance has to do with their lack of caution. It’s not just his fault, and well, someone was really intent on taking her away and it would only be a matter of time before that person succeeded.

But okay, being him, he knows the right thing to do, so GOOD. He reactivated the beast.

Now, those stupid demons who were torturing Kagome are disgusting. Not only is that stupid guy dumb enough to not understand that the world had changed, he is being angry over something that he cannot do anything about. What a racist, disgusting, childish cow! *kicks angrily* LOL you are most probably laughing away at my crazy rant but OMG I am sooooo mad at him!! Doesn’t he realize that she is heavy with child??! And even if the child is hanyou, at least it is part demon isn’t it? He is sooooo obsessed with demon blood; he should be happy that there is 50% demon blood in the child! *shakes fist at loony man* This guy is as crazy as Kumano from Wisteria. She doesn’t have the jewel, period. She already said so!! I cannot tolerate stupidity.

But on a more serious note, this guy seems to be really caught up in his grudge, which puts poor Kagome at a much more dangerous position. As you’ve mentioned, the fact that he had shown no qualms about striking her just made it all the more dangerous for her. Poor Kagome, poor Kiyoshi! I am proud of the little tyke though – he actually managed to defend himself!!! How adorable, really!! I am really, really enamored with him even if he is still a fetus. LOL.

Kagome deserves a mega big hug for being sooooo brave! I was soooo excited and happy when she managed to shake free and zap that female demon, and it was pure adrenaline when she was running for it! But then, unfortunately, they had to catch up with her. Unsurprisingly though, as we all know she is heavily pregnant. But OMG I definitely wasn’t expecting that creep to hurl her against the wall so violently!! He is such a disgusting creep! How could he, really?? Oh dear.

Now Kagome is going into labor. I am excited and worried and I really want Sesshoumaru to be there. *lower lip quivers* OMG. Please, darling. MORE~

My heart might stop beating as well.

Maddie sweetie!! I have finally gotten some time to myself to sit down at the computer to type proper, good reviews for Blood Stained!! This story definitely deserves the nominations it received for the upcoming quarter awards, and I am pretty sure many of your readers will agree with me on this.

OMG so much have happened in these two chapters; I’m kinda giddy from the excitement of it all but here goes!!

This chapter started off as nothing extraordinary – we see Sesshoumaru and Kagome going about their usual activities. It’s good to see that Kagome is feeling better, and actually taking the initiative to let Sesshoumaru know that she is well enough to go on the shard hunt. And a little AWWW-moment there!! I thought it was really sweet of him to remind her that they could always turn back if she felt unwell.

*grins goofily* Yes, as you can tell, I am now reading the part where she asks him what will happen after little Kiyoshi is born! Kagome is such a doll; she is actually open with the idea of allowing Sesshoumaru to be a part of Kiyoshi’s life, and I thought it was nice that she had even considered Sesshoumaru going to the shrine to visit and how her grandpa would probably go on a demon-exorcizing rampage. LOL. Poor Sesshoumaru. *giggles at mental image*

My dear girl, you are making ME fall for Sesshoumaru. Hmmm. OK, wait…I ALREADY am very, very much in love with him. What am I talking about, really?? He is such a dream!! You made him so thoughtful, asking her about university and schooling, which proves that he is definitely not merely concerned about Kiyoshi but also, very concerned about the mother as well. Friends? Well, definitely! More? …hmmm, they just don’t know it yet. This is getting soooo good. I like it when romance is in such a stage!!

Just when it was all fluffy and sweet, the story moved on to a different stage. Kagome almost got hit by a car, and suddenly, I realize that the chapter’s title is going to have a lot more to do with the plot than what I think. Holding hands was sweet though~ Maddie, do I have to tell you just how good you are at blending genres and moods??

!!!! ZOMG I felt like hopping into the story to give him a good kick in his pretty head when I read that he had left her all by herself!! That’s insane, really. I can totally tell what’s going to come…oh gosh, Sesshoumaru…don’t you know, that’s the last thing you should do! And looking at the title of this chapter, well…all I can say is that the bad feeling in my gut is growing.

THERE IS NO ONE IN THE RESTROOM.

*faints and falls off chair*

*revives*

*faints again*

OMG. I knew it. I should have seen this coming, I swear!!!! *frantic*

Sesshoumaru should really give himself a good, hard pinch. But at the same time, this is so romantic in the damsel-gets-kidnapped-hero-rushes-after-her way. You know, seeing how he is going all out to get her back by his side without much consideration for himself is definitely making the inner fangirl EXTREMELY happy. *grins*

But who could have taken Kagome?? I thought those little forest youkais were no longer around?? Who could it be? Naraku?? No way, that guy is dead and buried. But…oh dear, questions, questions. I NEED NEXT CHAPTER NOW.

Thank goodness there is a next chapter.

*clicks ‘next chapter’ button happily*

Is Kagome going into labour?

Kiyoshi will be be alright wont he?

Was Sesshomaru the Big crash they heard?

*cries* I dont like cliffhangers I really liked the bit about Sesshomaru finally admitting that he is useless without his beast. and the beast is going to save the day right? see another question this is the reason why i dont like cliffhangers.

Cheers mate

is she gonna give birth? oh god! i hope its birth and not death! oh god oh god oh god!!

please update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ack! No! O_O That's horrible. Will Kiyoshi be ok? Their so all going to die. gah, at least he found her....I think. ..GAH! >.< I can't wait for the next chapter. I really hope the kid survives, and they rush to the hospital...but I don't know. (O_o)`

AWsome  chapter cant wait to see what happens next? was she stabbed? is she in labour? WAs that sesshomaru?

soo many questions!!

What a wonderful chapter!  Thank you so much.  It was good to see the 'beast' again.  He has been missed :)

I really hope that was her water breaking and not her miscarrying. pwease keep Kiyoshi alive! If he died I have no idea how you'd have Kaggy and Fluffy end up together...because they'd both blame themselves and probably couldn't live with the guilt...

anyway PLEASE UPDATE SOON BECAUSE YOU"VE GIVEN ME A HEART ATTACK!

hopefully the doctor that attended them earlier is near enough to help

you have brought me to tears... amazing so since your so wonderfully gifted at writing how about you update really soon?!?! hu hu? good idea huh? love the story. i have a feeling sesshomaru is going to rip some one face off!! lol ")
