This is very interesting! Can't wait to read more! 

Seeing an update from you for this story is a literary highlight of my day. You've an engaging writing style that weaves plot and tension seamlessly along with teasing glimpses into our characters. Thank you!

This just gets better and better.  The writing in this chapter was intense!  I love the way you imbue your story with so much feeling, without any attendant melodrama.  The part where Kagome followed Sesshomaru out of the village into the forest could not have been better!  Except I think you typed "threes" instead of "trees".  Minor clerical detail!  I always blame spell-check for things like that :)  I liked the little detail you tucked in- the trees went from deciduous to evergreen.  That was so telling.  Maybe I don't want a description of all the flora in an outdoor scene, a'la "The Clan of the Cave Bear", but I do like to know the season, if it is cold or hot, sunny or rainy, a field or a forest.  This isn't the first time I have throught about the amount of detail, and what you decide to describe, and decided that somehow you have arrived at the perfect balance. 

Lovely chapter, once again :) 

Hmmm... I wonder how she's going to "gain influence" on him... :p

Thanks for writing this chapter and I hope you got some good meds. I know how bad tears can be so I really apreasheate(sp) that you wrote this to share

I am so glad that I clicked on this fanfic. The story is so interesting and it's moving at the perfect pace in terms of relationship development and plot. I can't wait to find out what happens next! Your cliffhangers are killer!

Absolutely LOVE this story! Just found it and now you can be sure I'll be here to read each and every chapter you'll post ! 

Your writing is very good, and even better, so are your characterisations ! The plot is also well thought out, I've read a lot of stories and it's the first one I see with Kagome and Sesshoumaru traveling with teenage Rin and Shippo, and I love it! 

Can't wait for the next chapter :)

Oh my god :)

I am in love with this story. Theidea is amazing and unique. It's the first story where Shippo and Rin are teenagers together and wow Sesshoumaru sounds more fun. It has a lot of potential and it's also well writen. I hope you will update soon.

Good luck with the story

You're off to a great start! The plot is interesting and relatively original, which I like. I have certainly heard of Kagome falling through the well and being taken back to a different time (before or after her time in the Sengoku Jidai), but I don't believe I've read anything involving parallel universes. Good job.

Aside from a few punctuation errors here and there, I couldn't find anything wrong with the story, so kudos to you. I'm very curious to find out more about this ancient miko, the youkai in the well, and Kikyo's behavior. I'm wondering if perhaps the two latter things are related in some way.

Well, I guess I'll have to wait and find out, won't I? Again, great job!

CR~

OMG, sooooo good!  I love your writing.  With every sentence, you reveal a little more, and tease a little more, and draw me into the story a little more!  Kagome, trying to make sense of her memories and the sparse revelations she has obtained from the others, comes through as so real.  The little details you have tucked into the narrative also do a lot to make it real for me, Sesshomaru leading them on a forced march, the too hot sun, blisters, and sore muscles, then finding the cold river gave just the right touch so that I felt I was really there.  As for the characterizations, WOW!  With very little description, you have managed to give me a feeling of absolute dread and horror regarding Kikyo.  And I have to tell you, I adore reading stories with a menacing Kikyo.  Now I'm worried for InuYasha.  I'm betting his lack of affect is very significant.  SHUDDERS WITH DELIGHT!

Technically, an outstanding chapter.  Grammar, spelling, punctuation, pace and flow- all impeccable!  You have an impressive command of the written word. 

Please, hurry with more! 

It seems so far that this is turning out to be a very promising story! You have an interesting and unique plotline, a smooth writing style, and together it really makes me want to read more!

I know what you mean about the sess/kag pairing making you giddy, I feel the exact same way! There's just something about them lol and when the romance is written just right, it can make my heart just sigh happily and give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

It doesn't look like you're in dire need of a beta, but if you'd like, I'd be more than happy to help :) I'm generally good about keeping in contact, I just can't promise I'll always have the time needed to really dedicate myself to a story. I'm currently juggling uni, work, and family obligations, and between them I hardly have to myself! But on the up side, I'm a bit of a grammar nazi, so I have a knack for spotting typos and such, and I'm really good at idea tossing. If you do decide to take me on board, I can promise that I'll do my very best, and I'm a hard worker, but  unfortunately school has to come first.

Hope you have a great day! ~Fuyu

All I have to say is that so far I am throughly enjoying this story. Patiently waiting for an update.

I really like this a lot so far, I love the plot it is really different and interesting! Super well written too, keep up the awesome work and update soon! :D

Another awesome chapter.  Usually, I will find one or two elements in a fanfic that I particularly admire- the author's strong point.  I admire EVERYTHING about this fanfic, making it really stand out for me. 

The passage where Kagome asks InuYasha if he is happy, and he tells Kagome that he is, and Kagome tells him that is all she ever wanted for him surprised me.  I can picture Kagome SAYING that, while INTERNALIZING her real feelings.  But in this story, she doesn't seem to have any deeper feelings about InuYasha or Kikyo.  All three characters were extremely oblique about the emotional ramifications once the details of Kagome's version of reality were revealed.  Kikyo seems to be behaving in a somewhat helpful manner, but is also not very forthcoming with how she feels about Kagome's reappearance.  I'm not feeling the tension I would have expected between these three characters.  Since it is very possible that the other version of Kagome was responsible for the fact that Kikyo is still around, and InuYasha is human, and the two are together, the prior conflicts between the three have ceased to exist in this version of reality for InuYasha and Kikyo.  Kagome, I'm not so sure about.  Maybe five years was enough time for her to kill any feelings she held for InuYasha.  

I like the way that it is sinking into Kagome's awareness that there must have been SOMETHING that happened between the other version of Kagome and Sesshomaru.  Your subtlety and restraint are really working for me when it comes to this aspect of the story.

I would not normally point out piddling little clerical details, but since you mentioned your lack of a beta, I believe the word "She" which appears a little less than halfway down the page (paragraph 47?) is extraneous.  Shortly after that, there is is a comma right after a dash, which could probably be deleted.  Given the length and complexity of the chapter, I would say it is admirably error-free.

This promises to be a truly awesome story.  Please, keep up the great work, and post another chapter soon! 

This plot is very different from anything I've read before and I like it.  I went looking for this story after I read your one-shot.

I wonder if the other Kagome is having the same problems this Kagome is and ended up in the other timeline.  It could get confusing, though, if you tried telling both Kagome stories.

You don't need a beta!  That was one of the most awesome things I have read!  It was exciting, vivid, action packed and just all-around perfect!
