Wow that sucks. And I was thinking the same thing. what if he DOES have to take the watch off to fight. *_* GAh! I can't wait to see what happens. Poor Kagome.  I hope nothing tries to attack while she's home. *_*

oh wow *blinkblink* thats just uh, the pain Kags has gotta be going threw. psychological trauma much?

please update!!

Awsoomeennneesss sooo didnt see that coming but it makes complete sense with her and kikyo only being able to see the shikon! naturally she has to go with him to find the other shards!!! but whats this new mystery over the jewel! that thig nothing but trouble i can only imagine the adventures that are to come! mahahaha so exciting! i hope kagome can recover from this probably helps that he looks different and has changed and admits that he did wrong!! but the beast stopping from the instide.... interesting how will he react nowthat shes so close again hope he doesnt get out for a while anyway!

keep going!!

wow i hadnt expected that 2 be their conversation. good chapter though. i really wanna see what choice kagome will take and i wanna find out more about the shikon-no-tama. keep up the GREAT work.

Fantastic meeting between Kagome and Sesshoumaru. Im sorry but it made me pissed when Sesshoumaru said that he was trying to gain Kagome's forgiveness. I really hope that she denied him or makes him at least work for it. After the anger and humiliation and the abuse she went through I think that she has the right to tell him to go to hell! Anyways I cant wait to see what there second encounter is going to be like. no doubt some rules are going to be laid down. Thank you for this well put FANTASTIC chapter and hope to see another one soon. Like tomorrow. PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!!

Sesshoumaru has got good at deceving his beast. Good chapter!

Mkay, had to comment on both chapters, heh...

This is becoming quite complicated, and quickly!  There seems to be more pain in store for her in the near future.  I do like that he was straigtforward with why and how he knew of her whereabouts.  The fact that she's Rin's descendant is the best way to channel any emotion from him.  Would his many changes have been completely different though? I can't imagine him not ever being stoic or apathetic to any cause that does not personally concern him.  Granted, she most definitely does now.  Guess I'm wornderin if a milder version of him will surface throughout this story?

Poor thing, she can't seem to catch a break in this story. 

Hollllllyyyyyyy shi... She's her DESCENDANT?!!! Good gah! That is an amazing spin if I've heard (in this case, read) one. Very unexpectant, great job on that by the way. And the Beast preventing him from stopping her travel down the well? That's a pretty quick and easy explanation, no one could possibly imagine if he would ever want that to transpire. Man, that Beast is crazeh when it comes to Kagome!! With this new revelation, it makes me ponder more his desire for Kagome:

The Beast would never harm Rin. The Beast is a part of Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru has an unspoken love for his ward. Rin brought as you say "a light into his life" and nothing was the same after her. Does the Beast sense that in Kagome? That Kagome has an attachment to him that Sesshomaru can not even place himself? That technically she was once his to begin with? Gah, all these new questions!!! I am thankful for your updates but if you keep leaving me at cliffhangers, I may lose that last piece of sanity I've managed to hold onto! lol

The reunion is at hand (which honestly, I didn't think you would let happen so soon). Can't wait to read what happens next!

And the Shikon no Tama got added into the mix too. This is just full of surprises.

:D Awesome Chapter! Poor Kagome, that was so hard for her :(

You are doing such an amazing job conveying Kagome's feeling of DREAD, I can just feel it looming over the last few chapters.  She is really between a rock and a hard place, and with the Shikon Jewel in the picture, the feeling of dread becomes even more immediate and concrete.  It is not just Sesshomaru and his beast she has to deal with, it is the realization that if she is to do her duty to the jewel, and to her friends in the past, she is obviously going to have to work with him, and probably even expose herself to the beast again, work together with them, instead of running away with them.  That is so intense!  And Sesshomaru is starting to see things, not from Kagome's point of view, but Rin's.  Kagome was always a throw-away commodity to him, but Rin was not.  I guess when he gets to the point where he feels responsibility to KAGOME, as opposed to her as a descendent of Rin, that he will be where he needs to be.  I am so impressed with this story, not just with how entertaining or exciting it is, but how deep it is becoming, and how well you convey emotions. 

Why did she not purify the chunk he gave her?  I'm glad she's Rin's decendent and so is his child.  His child is important to him now and I can understand why he said nothing about it while with her since she had trouble being in his presence.  She needs to be with him to get to know the modern Sesshoumaru who has changed over the centuries.  They both need to grow to know each other and he will want to be involved in the life of his pup.  It would really be something if it was a girl and Kagome named it Rin.

I could have cried about his hair.  Even black it could still have some length to it.  Not all Japanese males have short hair in today's society, no matter the age.  I love his long, beautiful hair.  It's one of my addictions.  haha.  I confess.  I was a young teenager during the hippie generation when most males had long, beautiful hair.  And yes, (heehee) I'm telling my age.

Hmmmmmmmm very interesting I was not expecting the task having to do with the jewel but it makes sense.  With Kikyo gone there would be no one else but Kagome.  I think that Sesshoumaru does actually have feelings for Kagome at this point he is just very reluctant to accept them.  I don't see a way that Kagome can refuse his request even though she doesn't want to be anywhere near him.  I also have a sneaking suspicion that his beast is going to resurface again once he's around her a little more.  But that's just my theory and I'll just have to wait and see what happens.  Wonderful chapter as usual and good luck with your projects this week!!!!!!  ~Daniella aka SesshoumarusPrincess~

i loved this chapter! i was sooooooo not expecting kagome to be related to rin :) i also wander wat it is sesshomaru wants from kagome. very interesting update soon i cant wait to read more!

O_O -! GAh! I need to read it ! Gah it is him.  Was he talking about the mission? SOOooo want to know what happens! Very intense endinng scene. I was on the edge of my seat! super excited for the next chapter!)

Oooh, I like the twist you added with Rin. Very nice. Things are unfolding in a very interesting way.

Please update soon!! Love it!

Ahhh!!!!! :D Awesome Chapter!! I am sooo excited for the next one!!!

Hmm... I wonder what this 'IT' is that Sesshoumaru wants Kagome to help with. I mean is it a new danger that they might have to face together or does it have something to do with the baby? And why does Sesshoumaru Tomoya look so different? Is it by choice or is it for a reason? It could be just that he was reincarnated into a different body. I really cant wait to see how this discussion will play out. I mean most likely the past is going to come up and now that Sesshoumaru understands what Kagome was talking about (how people are treated) when she was in the past (now that he has experienced the future himself) it will be interesting to see his form of an apology even though it wont be given directly. Thank you so much for this chapter and cant wait for the next one to come out. Until then, PLEASE UPDATE REALLY SOON!!!!
