Awesome chapter! loving the Kagome and Sesshoumaru moment/bond. I can't wait for the next update! XD

Eeeee! Update, awesome. I loved all of it! The drama, the recognition, the jealousy, the new weird hot guy, all of it! Oh my, so many things to say and not enough finger strength! Just know my favorite part was the increased plot and the brewing war, leads to so many things in the potential future, ah, loved it again!

LOVE IT!

Cliffhangers are the worst!  Please update soon!

I really want to see more between Kagome and Takeshi. Sesshoumaru takes so many females to his bed to "relax" so I´d like to see some real romance for Kagome with Takeshi. I really don´t like Sesshoumaru´s whores, no matter what other roles you give them. I just really have problems with liking characters who are made so perfect even in their cruel youkai way.

WOW!!!! great work, I can´t wait to see what´s going to happen next, your story keeps me in the edge of my office chair, how unfair is that, but god I can´t stop reading. Keep up the good work.

OMG this was fabulous!!! Kagome is really growing up, maturing and becoming a true warrior and a true warrior's lady!  I love Takeshi and I'm wondering if he and Kagome will share some romance before Sesshoumaru realizes he wants her all to himself? I can't help but love him you've done a wonderful job creating a strong, amazing original character!  I can't wait for the next chapter!!!!

She is definitely oming into her role. Is it wrong of me to find Takeshi more deserving of her than Sess? Hopefully she will be able to establish herself and become more involved in ruling the West.

Damn. Every time I read a chapter, I realize how well you develop your original characters; it's them that seem to astound me the most because they show how well developed of an author you are! Of course, I just LOVE how ruthless you make Sesshoumaru, too. No watered down version here. I appreciate how you handled Kagome and her decision to kill one of the boys that attacked her. As much as one would say that isn't Kagome, this is a different story. This is her going through some major character development. You approach it in a very believable fashion. Thanks for the update, you really made my day.

FYI: there were some muddled parts in the story. I think mostly caused by typos. Do you have a Beta?

please update this asap! all my fav stories aren't getting updated anymore.

I fucking love you. Thank you SO much for writing this because DAMMIT I hate all the monotony. Thank you for making everything SO not perfect and beautiful and lovely dovey in the first chapter. Thank you. Jesus. But, I keep on seeing a lot of typos and simple mistakes. Did you say you're looking for a beta? if so, I'd be happy to help you. Anyways, back to your story. I fucking love, love, love Kagome's little guard! He's so real and you remember that. Sesshoumaru. Dammit. Thank you for portraying him in this fashion. Because DAMMIT he CAN’T just do what ever the fuck he wants and not expect something to happen because of it. No. He’s not a blunt object that just trashes out. He uses his brain. Sometimes I wonder if maybe Kagome's taking this too well, but then something will pop up that'll put her back on track. Well, well, well. So. I'm going to BEG you to stop listening to people and just fucking write, because you're doing it right. Keep giving me things I don't expect. And for the love of god, keep writing! I'm not saying update asap (because I know Real Life is a Bitch and it demands you attention first), but just don't give up on this story! Too often I see a good story just DIE and I have no idea wtf happened! Anyways, a nice long loving review. Hope that's satisfying for you, you whore (said in the most loving way possible!).=] 

please update!!!!! asap

It's so nice to have an update.  As always I very much appreciate how indepth and detailed you are with your chapters.  I can't wait to see how the fight for Takeshi works out!  I'm really excited for the upcoming chapters and I hope you can update soon.  Keep up the good work!

I love this story its well written and portrays the original characters very well. I don't know why but the part with Jaken talking about how he misses Rin always brings tears. I like a story with a caring Jaken. Please update soon

I love this story. I can't wait to see whats going to happen next. I'm really excitied for the Takeshi and Kagome love section of this story and obviously for the Sesshomaru and Kagome love section also.

I like the beggining of the chapter, and ya know why? He said that Ship and Kag are 'just obligations', I'm willing to bet my sweet little butt that Rin way 'just an obligation' in the beggining too. :) He's starting to care, in his own frigid way, but still.

Haa, and he's like her daddy. Hmm, people say that girls go for guys that resemble their fathers.

Nice chapter :)

Dude. Woman. Like... seriously.

Seriously FANTASTIC! :p Love it like always!

I love your story and was starting to miss it ;) Your original characters are also very well done. Congrats and hope to read some more, sometime

Here's lots of love for you now, just simply for the fact you updated! More for making this chapter awesome! I didn't know her mom was going to be comparing Sesshomaru to her husband, in normal families it's common for little girls to look for the same qualities she finds in her daddy, lol, however i think Kagome did it by accident this time. The way Sesshomaru feels about Kagome right now, i'm leaning way more towards her ending up with takeshi, he at least knows he has a crush on her, but that's just me. Facepalm, Sesshomaru wants to kill Naraku but doesn't know he had a spy right there trying to jump him and become Lady of the West, that' a serious overlook on the situation. Please update soon, it's all i can ask, well i can ask you don't quit on it either but i don't think you will. I loved this chapter, please update soon.

I have to commend you to a story that is well writen.  I throughly enjoy reading your updates.  It is hard to find a story that doesn't start have way through and nothing but flashbacks, or after hundreds of years sesshoumaru's beast suddenly having a voice, or two days after being forced into a situation they suddenly  decided that the love the other even after years of loving another or hatred clouding their preseption.  Please keep up the wonderful story!
