Thanks for clearing that issue up with Sesshoumaru taking the baby and all. 

But judging the tales he experienced through time I still wouldn't put it pass him to do it. He speaks about earning Kaogme's forgiveness and about how sorry he was and the actions he committed in the past. How in the world is he going to get Kagome to do that!?! Between the two, it was Kagome that suffered the most. I mean yes, Sesshoumaru had to go through some changes like suffering the same pain that his youkai went through after he lost Kagome, but that didn't take anything away from him that he couldn't get back. I really loved this chapter. It's probably one of the best in this story. Thank you for updating and I really Really REALLY hope that you decide to update soon! Until then, take care!!!!

Great stuff! :)

My baad reviewed wrong story!! hahah OOPs!!

Awsomenes!! Glad inuyasha is dealing with it!!! and that they are finally to be mated!!!!

can't wait for next chapter!!

*Content Sigh* I think this was my favorite chapter so far.  I love love love love love the reactions of each "Individual" Sesshoumaru when Kagome went home.  Obviously his beast was going to be angry but I love how you demonstrated that the beast wanted HIM to suffer just as much as it was suffering.  There was so much emotion that he wasn't used to feeling and how it's all been thrown in his face and he has to learn to deal with it.  He seems to really understand exactly how wrong his beast had been with his actions towards Kagome and everything it put her through; especially upon learning she is kin to Rin.  Even though the beast feels that it has done nothing wrong because it claimed Kagome as a mate but I wonder if a small part of the beast doesn't feel regret because it too considered Rin to be a daughter.  I like the fact that you have given Sesshoumaru an air of imperfectness(If that's even a word, if not I just made it up and it's mine LOL).  He's realizing that he's made mistakes and he should have done things differently and he feels guilty for what he did.  He's flawed just like the rest of the world it just took him a long time to realize it.  It's going to be very interesting to see their interaction as they search for the remaining shards.  I wonder what if anything they are going to talk about and if possible will he try and apologize to her for the sake of Rin's memory.  Best Wishes as always!!!!!

yay!! so glad thatyou wrote sesshomaru's perspective on it! very interesting! i really like the whole thing with kagome being rins desendant! so glad none of that kiyko stuff! and their both so simular and cute! it fits.. Can't wait to see how this story progresses. Must say sometimes when a story drags on I sorta loose interest but not on this one! almost every chapter is unpredictable!

keep going! can't wait for the next update!

I just love this story!! It is so intense, passionate... It is great the way you describe the situations, their emotions, the enviroment... I'm looking forward to read how this is going to end, what would be of Kagome, the pup, the jewel and Sesh's split personality problem. I felt relieved when he started to feel guilty, I was worried when he was going to start having a different feeling for Kagome than being repulsed by her..

it took the a week, but nevertheless, the wait was worth it! this chapter helped clear up A LOT of questions that were on my mind, so thanx. peace:)

Oh wow, this is going to be a long and tough road ahead for them both.  He has suffered for a very, very long time.  And yet he still needs to make things right.  He is honor bound so there's no way he will not see it through.  I'm glad we had insight into what happened after she left his era.  And to think the majority of his travels involved the shards as if he was the next generation of the original pack.  Interesting.  At first, I believed that he might be able to regain complete control without any harm to himself.  It's good that he didn't.  It's the fuel he needed to get to this point.  I feel bad for him too, now realizing what she was trying to tell him all along. 

This is getting more and more interesting. 

My only complaint...it was short...cause I soooo wanna read more, like now.  =p

Very good and insightful chapter! 

A very well-written chapter!  Skillful use of language.  Concise and logical, it nonetheless brought us into the present era without feeling rushed or lacking in emotional impact.  Now I feel as if I am ready to jump into their present-day adventures without any nagging questions about the past. 

Sesshoumaru remind me of Inuyasha in this chapter. All the time I had a feeling that he felt guilt about what he done only because Kagome was Rin's descendant. Just like his brother he can't see her as herself. And this all his want to earn her forgivness come from wish to protect the little girl he remember. Confusing, but good chapter.

Hey Hey

YAY a Update.

Man the latest chapter made really feel for Sesshomaru, even when the guilt hit him, about what his beast did to Kagome. This chapter was one of your best so far, not my top favorite but its up with the top. Kagome being born in 1982, well that does sound right, been while since i watched the Anime. Didnt think Rin getting Married would have affected him that, but then again she was his daughter even if by not blood.

Woot Australia, Im from Australia WOOT, cant they come to Australia first???? instead of India.

Cheers Mate

awwww i thought the future sesshoumaru would love her. but now he's still cold.

In love with this story.

I find it totally unfair that Jaken is still around while Shippou is dead. And what about Kouga? He didn't show up while she'd been residing with Sesshoumaru. Would Kouga still be alive?

I can't believe she didn't confront Sess about the spying. I would have thought that would have been the first thing she would have said!

whoops, I forgot to mention the whole reason I was inspired to review this chapter is the comment Kagome made to her mother that the Beast was in love with her.  Clearly she wasn't really being accurate, it's like the song, "no es amor, se llama obsesion" - the Beast is obsessed, not in love! *cackles evilly thinking of what he must be suffering through with the object of obsession gone*

so glad you had kagome actually make it back home, I was worried you would have her have a change of heart and decide not to go home after all (which would not have been very realistic).  Poor Inuyasha, his whole life and even his death was tragic, and he died after having Kagome say those terrible things to him :(  And poor Sango and Miroku, Kagome never got to say goodbye and they don't even know Inuyasha's been killed...

As for Sess, I'm sure you're going to find some reason to bring Sess back into the story but honestly I wish he'd never come back, let Kagome live her life, he already ruined it for her.  And if the baby lives (there's something wrong with him, right, maybe she'll miscarry? It sounds callous but it might help her move past the whole ordeal with Sess if she just miscarries) - anyhow, if he does live, she should name him Inuyasha in his memory. Poetic justice, and wouldn't *that* piss Sess off royally?

Ummmm... Sesshy better loose that line of thinking there's no way in hell Kagome's gonna hand that pup over to him! BUT!!!!! Awesome Chapter! Loved it  (as usual) And really I do feel soo horrible for Kagome. You keep doing what your doing!

OOOOOH! Anticipation! You are the queen of cliff hangers!

I cannot wait to read the next chapter! Thank you so much for updating regularly and quickly!
