not lame. although, I think both Sessho and Kags have been very OOC in this story - which may be intentional. I think Sesshomaru was a lot more IN character in this chapter, and so it was more enjoyable to me, for that reason. Kagome however I thought was way out of line and her responce and reaction to Sessho was very OOC. I can get her freaking out about thim having misgivings and sleeping with her anyways, and telling her that he loved her, only to break up with her. I can get this because even though her reaction was OOC you've given us enough background to understand how her past would effect her behavior. Hitting him though? That to me was just a little too far fetched. Not letting him get a word in edgewise? A little too far fetched. It would have been more believable to me if she had been shocked to silence, broken in the moment of his betrayal. Then after his departure, Kagome would have responded with ire, and maybe the next time they spoke, been a little pistol - but not gone on the attack quite like she had.

I really loved the anguish in this chapter though - you write it beautifully! I have a soft spot for Angst, and you make this just angsty enough to satisfy this glutton! Although I find myself screaming at my computer - "YEAH, SHES' TOO WHAT, SESSHOMARU?!" I really hope you answer that in the next chapter, or if it was supposed to be something I was meant to pick up on from the context of the chapter, then I completely missed it. Please update soon! Keep up the good work!

i think this chapter was perfect and heart breaking there is no need to redo or anything and inuyasha can really go play in traffic and just stay there to let cars run over him cause he is really pissing me off but anyway hope to see an update soon

NOOOOOOO damn inuyahsa he needs to go away and let kagome be if he ruins this for her im going to be soo mad but please update soon this was really good

hi i like the story but too much stories have started like this with some misunderstanding between the lovely couple plz i hope ur story doesnt go like that plz dont let kagome be this too innocent naive girl who cant see things for what they are let her be strong and some who doesnt take any bulshit, plz dont let inuyasha get to integrated into the story  plz let them find out about him and then eliminate him oh a kagura too. anyways this is just my opinion i would really like to read a story with a change.

Yasha is definitely up to no good. I hope Kagome will be strong enough to face him when he comes back and confronts her. I see some major drama coming! Great job as usual. Keep up the excellent work!

intersting twist! now im confused to why he leaves her?

alright alright alright for a minute there i thought that in the first chapter this would be the cause of her being upset and everything but than reading the end of this chapter i am second guessing it cause sesshomaru put his father in his place stating the facts about kagome, but hrmm now i have to rethink this all over again....and yes this chapter made up perfectly for the horrible cliffy from the last chapter although now this one has me thinking too but anyway it was wonderful and i loved it hope you update soon

Damn InuTaisho! Question...is Sess and Inu related in this story? What will happen when Inu comes in the picture and eventually gets in a confrontation with Sess? I can see a huge blowup happening. Ooooh, this was a great chapter. You captured the coldness of Sess perfectly and to see how InuTaisho can go from playful to serious, I love it.

Excellent chapter!  The real world is just so heartless...  It will be interesting to see how Inu Taisho's retirement and demand that Sesshomaru marry someone hard and polished weave into this story.  I love angst!

lol poor Miroku... I really like how you write him.

I have a little constructive commentary... The tone in how the characters talk to one another is a little mechanical. Like when kAGOME GREETS Sessho and asks him to have a seat and says they can do introducations at the table... it would make more sense for her to have introduced herself first and then asked him to have a seat. Or if there was some reason why you wanted the introductions at the table (which i found no reason for) then you could have had kagome invite sessho to sit with them and then in the narative said "Kagome led the new arrival to the table, in the hopes that the medling Sango would make the necessary introductions." or something like that. Also Sessho is WAY too chatty to me IN character. Perhaps you want him OOC. Thats fine. But if not, then he really shouldn't be so virbally communicative. You describe him by Sango's account as not very approachable, or talkative, and yet the way you write him, he is. If there is a particular reason for that, then it should be expressed in the narrative, right off the bat. Hope that was helpful, and not harsh sounding, because thats not how I mean it! :) Liking it so far, but eager to learn why Kagome was so heartbroken in the first chapter. :)

oooh... chilling. Leave it to Sessho (who I assume is the voice) to make a grand entrance like that. on to ch 3!

First chapter was a little jumpy, for me. The organization of it was a little confusing. BUT you deffinately grabbed my attention. I love angsty stories, and already my heart is prounding. Moving on to chapter two! :)

Wow! That's definitely control issues! I say leave it as it is, but question....will Kagome read the report? Does Sess know about it and that's why he is acting weird? Sango has to tell him too what she did to be fair. I've never really read where Sango's control issues came into play, so good job! Keep up the great work. I know Inu will be slipping back in soon. I can't wait!

i dont know where that line came from but i loved it and im mad at you you left me with a cliffy thats sooooo not nice i was getting into it and inuyasha needs to go jump off a bridge or something and let kagome move on i mean c'mon son

Is that quote from the movie Ghost?

Also, excellent chapter. I am glad even though Kagome kind of stuck her foot in her mouth she was able to rectify the problem.

I must admit that I don't know that line but it was cool. Great job on the chapter. I see the shnit hitting the fan real soon and it's going to be messy! Thank you for the update and keep performing awesomely!

By the time this goes down, Kagome is going to have some serious things to work out. I just hope Sess can be patient and stand by her.

He IS about to get himself embarrassed. He can watch and lie in wait all he wants too, SHE will be moving on. Thank you sooooo much for this update! I needed that quick fix. I love how you wrote this chapter, that possessiveness really shines through. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! you updated thank-you lolz when you started explaining how 'she' would go back to him like she always did i had a strange feeling it was inuyasha and i was correct ooo hazaar......but what is he going to do when he finds out kagome dont want his trfling ass anymore hrmm or will she have a week moment......hope you find your book and hope you update soon

All right!  This is getting interesting...
