Awwww, that was such a cute chapter. Kiyoshi finally being able to speak and his first words are mama and papa. Nice. Can't wait for more.

Thanks for the update. I really love this story and eagerly await the next chapter.  I love this story line.

Thanks for all your effort and time.

Ah, there's the rest. This is getting very good. I wonder if Kouga will help go after the other humans who want little Kiyoshi. Why do I have the feeling the humans don't want to kill him, but want to use him for his power? He does have miko blood in him, despite being somewhat undead at the time she gave birth to him. Well, he also has his father's attitude. Anyway, I can't wait to see what you have cooked up next.

Where's the rest of it? lol

Awesome chapter, keep up the good work! :)

this review is in response to your author's note this chapter (Chapter 9/10 Ultimatums).  I don't know who reviewed your spelling or grammar and I don't know what they said. I'm merely responding to your response, which seemed to be chastising your reviewer for what may have been a genuine attempt at constructive criticism.

Pease understand that for many readers, if there are repeated spelling or grammar problems in a story (or what I have noticed fairly consistently in this story, punctuation problems) that in and of itself is enough to seriously detract from the quality of the story.  Just putting up a disclaimer that you acknowledge that you have problems with grammar doesn't alleviate these concerns (just like if an author wrote "sorry I can't write a consistent storyline, but please appreciate my story anyhow," you might find that issue difficult to overlook).  [A really big] part of the ability to write a compelling story is to make sure you are able to convey your ideas accurately to others. If there are excessive grammar/punctuation/spelling problems, the reader may not bother to continue reading the story, or they may have difficulty understanding what you actually wanted to say.  

So when you ask for constructive criticism, any reviewer actually intending to give that honest criticism will necessarily be looking at the form in which you convey your ideas, as well as the ideas themselves.  Obviously, this is distinct from a flame (e.g. someone saying "your story sucks because you can't spell" or something, with no real advice on how to improve). 

I haven't read past this chapter, and I realize there are still a lot more already posted, so you may have already heard feedback about this author's note and responded in future chapters- my apologies in advance if this has already been addressed.

MORE UPDATES, PLEEEEEEASE!

Awesome Chapter!@ Can't wait for more!

Well, I see their mating has gotten off to a good start.....NOT!  Those two are going to have to learn to bend and give - BOTH of them.  Too darn stubborn for their own goods.

Great update.  I'm curious what the council is really seeking.  

Please Update soon Thanks.

Wow, amazing story, can't wait to read more!!! :)

Ah yes, the battle for dominance.  I have a feeling things are still not going to be rosy for this couple.  His dominance issues, and her not liking to be dominated.... except when it counts...  will cause quite a few battles.  I imagine when Kagome is pupped, things are going to get really crazy!

Oh wow!  I had seen your fic for a few weeks now but was not drawn to it at all.  Sorry!  Today, I clicked on it by mistake...again, sorry!  I must admit it is quite good!  I saw on one of the early chapters that someone had been a tad over-zealous in his/her comments on your grammatics.  I see your point but now that I've read your 21 chapters, I can see his/her's as well.  I love your story line but your grammar and sentence structure sort of take away from it.  Please don't take me wrong.  I will continue to read your fic now.  Like I said, I love your story line.  It is awesome!  It depicts both Sesshomaru and Kagome's personalities perfectly.  But because of your grammatical how shall I put it...defeciencies, it is hard to clearly understand at times.  I believe that just a little "once over" before you update will be all it takes make it clear to all where you are going with it.  It is very good!  I love it!  Keep up the good work but learn from yout mistakes.  Don't be angry with me, please.  I have said my peace about it and I will not mention it again.  I think you get it but have yet to do anything about it because of the harshness of another's words.  Forget that and just better your craft.  You are really good!  Awesome fic!  Love it!

I love this story so far. Pleas update soon. It is great thanks.

Love it!!!!  I am hanging by a thread here, please post more chapters.  You are doing an amazing job at protraying both kagome and Sesshomaru.

I loved this story it has a lot of sepence in it and i love it you really need to keep this story going

I don't understand why Sesshomaru is always the one that needs to change and needs to give into little bratty Kagome's mouth and behavior... she may be from the future, but she isn't there now and even in Modern Day japan women do not have a great many rights... Can't Kagome need to learn her place...???  I mean good lord, he is a demon lord... ruler of the western lands... and she isn't even blood related to the so called children she says are hers... one is Sesshomaru's ward... not hers, one has a life debt to sesshomaru... not her... and one is his nephew... not hers... She was not even married or mated to Inuyasha and other then her being the kids wet nurse... and her breast milk being in the kids system... which his expels on a daily basis... she has no grounds...

She should be grateful for Sesshomaru's protection and the fact that he brought her back to life... and in my opinion, Sesshomaru should just put her out of the castle and the western lands... and be done with her... its not like she can take any of those children with her... none of them belong to her... Rin was always Sesshomaru's... Shippo has already given his life debt to Sesshomaru, and Kiyoshi is Inuyasha's and Kikyo's... since both are dead the child goes to the only living relative... Sesshomaru. 

I think the Goddess should come down and give Kagome a few words on what women are expected to be and do in the Feudal era... and tell her she better get her butt in line and roll with it... or her humans are going to perish.

Wow you made Sesshomaru and A**.  How are you going to fix this now that its so royaly broken.... maybe he wont take her after all...would that help?  Kagome could have fallen for him if Sesshomaru didn't get to see the future, and seen the power....he could have had time to change with out power clouding the love.....But noooo he just had to stoop to th level of Naraku....Yes I said it....What Sesshomaru did was wrong, manipulative, diabolical and crual........Does he even realize he is basicly raping her?.............Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Midoriko is not going to be happy not at all.............sigh* thanks for lisoning to the ranty review hope you update with some good news.........Nyuka

hi,

Man, sesshomaru will have alot to make up for.  he is crossing the line...i hope it bites him in the but later...good job so far, i cant wait to se what happens next...
