OMG!!! Please let Kagome recover Kotono! She has to save her or she will truly break! Kagome seems to be Koton's saving grace in this story. I only hope Kotono does not truly break behind this. Just as Kagome is her saving grace, she is Kagome's anchor.

That was a low blowPrior Kotono, pretty much taken over by her worst fear. There better be war. I wonder if this was all part of the fate sh saw or if this throws a wrench in fate's plans. War, a heir to create, and feeling for the 12th and Sesshoumaru to grow...lots going on. I can't wait to see what happens next and hopes it all works out :)

The darkness and emotion of this chapter lingers long after.  There is not a death painful enough for Ryuu.  The fact that he harbored this twisted obsession for his sister and acted upon it makes me wish that Sesshoumaru and Kagome were both there

to dismember and purify him.  Repeatedly. 

But I want Kotono to be able to destroy him for this horror, for taking away her power .  I hope she will reclaim some of what was lost.  The rape scene made me so angry; I wanted to rip him to shreds!  It had quite the impact.

This chapter worked for everything you set out to do with it. 

=O Ok please update soon there seems like there is more than what you are letting onMin your updates. PLEASE UPDATE WITH A NEW CHAPTER SOON!!!!!!

Do not sweat it too much! You did have a type of a warning, in your first AN. That got me preparing for the worst, in a way, at least it was a clear indicator that something unpleasant would happen. Also you were were subtle with your description of the act, so I don't think too many people are terribly upset by it. (At least I hope so. Don't let them discourage you!)

I think this was interesting development, and I look forward to where you'll take the story from here. Thank you for writing!

No angst, please! Can't handle it, mann

I didn't think it was possiby but you've done it again! Another AMAZING twist to an incredible story! I mean, Kotono's story, now that we know more, is so dark, disturbing and oh so twisted! I LOVE IT! >D

The small yet very hot lemon was amazing, fit the moment perfecty. I hope Sesshomaru 'takes' Kagome more often ;) lol

This is my FAVORITE story and look forward to every single update :D

Keep up the wonderful work <3

I loved this chapter.   So much depth.  So many plot lines. So much left undone!  Please don't send her to her brother!!!  Kotono is such a wonderfully rich character.  I love all the intrigue and mystery.  Keep up the amazing work.

Holding my breath until the next chapter.

Oh Aubrey *-* Such a nice chappy once again~

The way you write your OCs is so magnificently done, that they have enough depth to be human... just awesome!

I wish you all the best for your future, and if you ever decide to go "pro" let us know so we can buy your works *-*

I shall be lurking,

Forfirith

this is so exciting. i can not wiat for the next installment. i am excited to see what happens further between kagome and sesshomaru.

i love this it is amazing. keep up the amazing work and writing

All of this building intrigue and angst. Wow!  Enjoyed the new revelations and Inuyasha's reappearance.  Lots of

cunning subplots unfolding.  Can't wait to see if Im right about who wants Kagome's back.  Ha!

Until then...thanks for the update!

And things continue to get interesting. I can't wait to see how things play out with all the different things building. It seems every has a temper and I'm looking forward to seeing them all erupt in time. I can't wait to see what happens next though on this journey of finding one's place :)

There are more questions than answers. But that's what keeps me reading. I'm glad that you'll be on an update schedule. I can't wait to find out what happens next!! XD

Awesome chapter!

Once again, you have me dying for more. I loved seeing Kagome's temper flare up with Inuyasha, and Mei is even starting to grow on me. I'll admit, I was reluctant to like her at first, but you have such a way with words that you've made it pretty much impossible not to. :)

I'm hoping nothing bad happens to Kotono! I've gotten attached to her as a character and I'd be so sad if something happens when she goes to deal with her brother.

And I'd really love to smack Naraku on the nose for meddling so much. 

Seriously - I cannot wait for the next chapter. Keep up the amazing work :)

Thanks for Updating!! I Love this story!

XD Yay for updates! If only i could get a few up ;P.

I can't wait to see what happens next!

And the friendship begins while the other picks up where it left off. I wonder how this will all work out and if Sesshoumaru will use their servicesanymore. I can't wait to see what happens next and how Kagome makes all the difference :)
