Awww Miss Teak!!!! >.< This is so sad! You write such beautiful stories, even if they are oh so tragic! Wonderful job as always!

I dislike you.
I dislike you very much.

You had me sobbing pathetically in the first chapter, and gasping and sniffling in the last chapter, on the verge of more tears when Kagome's 'kerchief was stained with blood.

Who do you think you are making me cry like this?! -Sniffle.-

This story was beautiful; I was confused to see it was completed, but now I understand why it is.

This story is particularly painful to my heart not because someone had died of this disease, but because I regard a male in my life so similar to Sesshomaru, so much so that I imagined him in this very story. Sobbing ensued mid-first chapter for him, but then it was focused on the actual Sesshomaru again.

Thank you for writing this; it has a special place in my heart. For what true reason, I cannot tell you, as I do not know myself.

A new confection from Miss Teak! Awww... But so bittersweet :( however, I am a sucker for tragedies, so I did enjoy your two-shot, perverse creature that I am.

*gasp*

...I hope they go together.

Very well written as always! Heartbreaking to be sure, but such devotion usually is.

.....You tell such a beautiful story Miss Teak.  I can't help, but get emotional every time.  I just love it.  This epilogue is as spectacular as the last.  Do you plan to continue the story with each prompt from Nisou's challenge?  In any case, I love it and I look forward to reading more of your work.  If the heart emoticons worked in reviews mine would be full of them.  (L)

Ok, I think I have mixed feelings about the epilogue. Not to say that I didn't like it or anything..In fact, I love it! Well, just let me lay the reasons out. :)

The good thing about the epilogue is that its shows how accomplished as a writer you are. When you first came out with this story, I was afraid that if you add more to it, you might create something like a 'shadow' of Hakuouki because that story in itself has a very strong plotline. But you have proven me wrong. You managed to break out of the cage and came out with something entirely original and breathtaking. I salute you, MissTeak!

The bad thing about the added chapter is because it left me feeling depressed. :'( Poor Kagome.. Poor Sesshoumaru. It's just so heart-breaking! *wails* Without the epilogue, at least we were given a benefit of doubt. The epilogue made the separation seems so final. Kagome is a human after all; the disease would eat her body more quickly than the case in Sesshoumaru who is a demon. Aaaaa~ T^T

Again, I have to reiterate that I do LOVE the story with all its heartwrenching-ness! :D Anyhow ho, great job darling!

Sob! Miss Teak, I've never read a sad story that became sadder but left me feeling content with the ending. While the first chapter could have stood by itself, I don't mind the second chapter in the least. Somehow, it is strangely comforting to know that neither will have to be without the either for very long.

Wonderfully written and kudos for words that stir the emotions.

miss teak, that was utterly beautiful. i was near tears =/

Aw :) This is so beautiful! But still sad :/

Another beautiful, emotional entry and my mind is reeling from it. I absolutely loved it. I could feel the blossoming hope throughout the chapter but still with the touch of foreboding. Towards the end I was thinking “Oh my gosh, Sesshomaru is getting better. He’s defeating the stupid crow.” And then when it was revealed that Kagome was sick, it made me want to cry again. I definitely want happiness to bless these to so I’m going to dream of it.

I almost regret using crow as the next prompt but then I would have missed this wonderful chapter. This was a pleasure to read. Well done. ^_^

You know, at first, I was reading all the happiness, so I was thinking, you changed your mind for what you were going to do for the epilogue. Then of course, I thought about the crow, and as she was getting ready to be married, I felt like smacking myself in the forehead for thinking this would be happy.

At first you see love, I wasn't mad at you for making Kagome be sick, but now, you make her get married, and you make her sick? LMAO! NOOOOoO!

You better go along with my plan, and have Sesshomaru mate her, which will enventually save her. That, or a tragic death of both of them together.

No but seriously, this was perfect. You had my eyes all teary with the emotions, and I had a ball of emotions caught in my throat. All they wanted as a bit of hapiness. She did provide Sesshomaru with some when she hid it from him, but I think he should have known.

I can only hope they will share many sakura blossoms together...

If Only...

OMG MT!  How could I not have seen this story!!!  I literally almost started crying when I was reading through the last part!  LOL.  My eyes are still a bit red right now!  

You write emotion so well, and I could practically feel Kagome's determination, pain, sadness, everything as I was reading through the story!  Amazing job as always!!!!!

This was sooooo beautiful I started crying half way through and I'm still crying as I write this.  The imagery was so vivid and the emotions so heart felt.  I want hope to win so bad.  I want them to be able to watch the Cherry Blossoms fall every year as their love grows stronger.  You are a wonderful storyteller!

all I can say is that was beautiful.  I loved it, and it made me cry.  Kagome's pain was so real and the way you described the disease process for TB was good.  Also the way you described the decline that Sesshomaru would go through with it.  The characterization was amazing you felt Kagome's pain and Sesshomaru urge to protect her from pain.  Beautifully written.  Was very happy to see the hope at the end and no, no epilogue.  It is perfect they way it is.  I couldn't bear a tragic realistic end and while I hope for a happy ending, I know life isn't always happy.  That was a perfect scene to end in.  Leave it be. 

Beautifully writen!Please continue writing!I almost felt like crying when I read this.

This was so beautiful.  I can’t even describe how wonderful this was and what it made me feel. I felt so sad for Sesshomaru and his pain. I wanted to hug him, to tell him to not give up, and to cry for him (though I’m sure he wouldn’t appreciate it.) And I also loved Kagome for her strength, determination, and love for Sesshomaru.  This was so packed with emotion that I don’t think there are words to describe how awesome this was. All I can say is thank you for writing this, it was an honor and pleasure to read.

P.S. Thanks for the small spark of hope at the end. That was nice. I’ll go cry now.

....I....just...wow.  This is absolutely wonderful Miss Teak.  It's just so heart wrenching.  I love it.  I can't help but get emotional reading it.  You are an absolutely superb writer.  I'm practically speechless still and I read this 20 minutes ago before reviewing.  I still don't know how to explain how much I love this.  I'm still at a loss for words.  Excellent work.

YOU BIG MEANIE!

Ohmygod, that was heartbreaking, it was beautiful. My eyes are all teary because of it! I wanted to speak along Kagome, to beg him not to die. Oh hun, you got my whole heart twitching. *Sniffes* This is why you aren't allowed to write anymore! (Kidding). I wouldn't expect anything less than perfect writing from you.

BUT, you cannot leave it as such. Actually you can, but you won't... right?

I mean, it makes a perfect ending, but a part of me just needs more.

:sniffs and wipes eyes: This is beautiful tragic MissTeak. This was written beautifully and emotions goodness you had me in tears! To see the mighty Sesshoumaru affected as such was something completely different than what I'm use too. I loved this despite it being sad. I would love to see where you decide to take this. :)

So sad and beautiful, Miss Teak!  Could Kagome go through the well and get antibiotics?
