I have loved this story from the first chapter and today I was so glad to see another chapter posted.  Out of all the chapters this is by far my favorite.  The way you explained the pain Sess put his wife through was right on and the way the son stood up for his mother is the very same way my sons stood up for me during my divorce.  I will read this chapter over and over again because it holds special meaning to me.  Thank you for taking the time to write such a powerful chapter during your illness.  Get well soon.

This absolutely the most moving and incredible fanfic I have ever read. You are amazing.

Oh, please!
I beg of you to finish this story! Please, please!
The story plot is inviting, the characters are as well, and the story just flows so perfectly.
I've found myself engrossed in this very story and saddened (only slightly) to know I've already finished it in less than 24 hours.
Again, I beseech you! Finish this!
Please, please, please!

omg love this story please keep wrighting!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read your story and forgot to review a while back so now I'm reviewing! This is such a good story and Sesshoumaru's madness is very well written to the point where I'd go insane if I happened to be in Kagome's shoes! lol Just kidding...but seriously, if I were in her shoes, I'd probably end up in a ward myself.  Anyway, lately, I've been listening to a song called "Talking to the Moon" by Bruno Mars and for some reason, the image of Sesshoumaru in the asylum talking to the moon comes up in my head for some reason. Hmm... Oh well. You've a great talent for writing and I hope to read more soon!

Whew...nice citrus piece!!!

Sesshomaru's letters to his mate are heartbreaking...to know he finally opened up to someone and then they were taken from him so violently.  No wonder he's in an asylum.

Anyway, I anxiously await the next chapter!

OMG!!!

OMG!!!

I can't seem to formulate another response.

Not gonna lie, when I first read the summary I was like "This is a romance?! I don't wanna read this." But then I did, and I cant believe I almost overlooked it. But now that I've read it ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!! (I started at around five, and it's getting close to 10 at night) I cant wait for the next chapter and I completely understand the nominations and awards this story recieved. Congrats on both accounts and I hope you update soon! This story rocks!

About time I read some male/female lime. I forgot all about it with all the yaoi lately lol :)

Great chapter! Sesshomaru is so sweet to Chikayo! I really hate the guy that killed her, he is so in love with her, it's adorable!

I can't wait for the next chapter! I wanna know about their shared dreams, this story is just getting more and more interesting with each chapter :) 

It's so nice to see the softer side of Sesshoumaru, even portrayed though love letters to his mate.  It brought out such a different view of the demon.  For him to admit he's not one of words and emotions, they really came through in his writing.

Uh, that ending was a terrible tease, by the way.  I like the fact that even Sesshoumaru didn't seem too bothered negatively by it *wink wink*!

Loved it!

Oh my goodness!  I don't know what to make of this chapter.  How is it that he, who is so devoted to his dead mate, can be o.k. with dreaming of Kagome like that?

There is mention of her in the past, although I'm not sure how because she had to leave.  Will she be returning to the past at some point?

Your story is wonderful and well written, but dang, it confuses me!!

Don't worry about my questions, hopefully answers will come soon.  You just keep writing and I will keep reading.  :-)

yay!! i was so excited when i saw this was updated i did a little dance woo hoo amazing chapter as always, I cannot wait for more updates!!! this story is just so captivating I love the idea, the pace of it is perfect it not to fast and its not to slow but it keeps you hooked!! :D again I cannot wait for another update!! :D

Wow...I am so wondering who this other doctor really is?? What must Kagome being told. Surely, she isn't his mate or the reincarnation.........can't wait to find out. Interesting chapter, I look forward to the next.

Thank you for the update(s)! I finally go to reading chapter 14-15 and I can't wait for the next chapter!

Thank you so much for the update, I've been waiting on pins and needles for it!  This is an awesome story you have come up with here, with an original concept.  Thanks so much for sharing it.  I'm dying to know how this is going to turn out, especially who are mystery people are....

I am officially giving up trying to guess the identity of Onishi lol First I thought it was the evil Lord and then Inuyasha and now I have no clue :) I love not being able to figure stuff out!

This chapter was wonderful

Thank you so much for the update.  This story is captivating! I am soooo hooked! The plot is so original and thought provoking you should feel proud to produce such  quality literature.  Thanks again for all your hard work.

i have strong fears as to what her sensei will make of all this. Though im glad he can finally get somethign off his chest after more than 500 years. Great chap.
