Wow! Wonderful chapter, as usual. WHen you review your chapter again, change the word yarn to yawn. That was done a couple times in this chapter. So I take next xhapter we find out who the wolf is? I can't wait!

So she is beginning the acceptance of her attraction to im in pieces. That's a good thing and fits well into the whole falling in love slowly plot. Great Job!

This chapter made me feel so happy,she'd actually really thought about what he'd admitted & as she thought about she noticed all these small things he did that said alot,small actions,gestures,cares,concerns & even a look in his eyes at times that she had noticed but not realized what they meant.He had cared for her for a long time,even Inu knew about it when he was alive.After Inu passed he kept a distance but made sure her house was always in good repair ,sent furs, & stuff,Since she moved in here he gave her alot of time & attention,kept her busy,kept her company,worried over her nightmares & pushed her to face her fears.....He was kind, caring, considerate,he made sure she had what she needed before she knew she needed it, he paid attention to the little things,her feeling on any given day were important to him & she'd been oblivious. He gave of himself always & never asked for anything for himself,the only thing he asked of her was to be open with him about things when he noticed she was upset & avoiding things.

    I was so afraid she was going to wake up after he'd admitted to her his feelings & blow him off or get scared & start to run away.It made me so happy that she actually thought about the things he'd done for her & she spent 1/2 a day admiring his physical body,his looks,his kindness & good nature. I can't wait for more. I hope she doesn't stop & keeps moving forward aware of all these years she's mourned Inu & how Inu had told her on his death bed that he wanted her to move on & find happiness & she ignored him by telling herself he was only trying to make herself feel better.What would he think if he knew she'd spent so many years crying,hiding,drinking & isolating herself...all the while saying to herself that since he died she didn't need to live?  He be very angry with her & think she was acting like a selfish child. He'd ask her what about Shippo, what about Sessh???

I can't wait for the next chapter

And what a sight it is!!!!!!! She is soooooo lucky!!!!!  Can't wait for the update!!

All I have to say is YUM... I would love to see Sesshoumaru like kagome did and be able to stare at him. I think he would look great if he kept his hair up in a high ponytail all the time. Excelent. I love this story. Please update soon.

You shouldn't change anything your stories are amazing! I just can't wait until the next update.

Such a good story.  Can't wait for more.

Good! Now she got to see how lost she was in her grief where it came off selfish and undervaluing how Inu felt. Glad Sess could shake her up. Now, since his interest has been revealed will she take the time to get herself together and put it in perspective or run?

I think you did a good job with Sesshoumaru confessing his feelings for Kagome (in a very roundabout-Sesshoumaru way).  :)
Looking forward to what comes up next, thanks for the update! 

I love this story so far. Please update soon. Thanks

ur chapter isnt showing up dear. id thought to let u know

Where is the chapter? It is all blank.

Now that I've read this story I love it. I keep rereading it to get more formaliar with it & every time I read I pick up on something I missed before so,I review again if I review too much &  this is a problem, I ask that you msg me & let me know & I'll stop or cut back (whatever you ask) . I enjoy your story & I only review when I like a story,when I get curious about stuff in the story I'll ask questions to get a better understanding of what I'm reading so please don't get offended by my questions,I really enjoy your story & would never ask a question with the intent to offend you. If you feel that you'd rather I ask questions about the story in a msg or PM instead of the review page,please just let me know.

I believe in that old saying 'if you don't have anyting nice to say then don't say anything at all'.

I reread ch 8 & 9 & noticed all Kag's flashbacks & memories where she saw herself being with Inu & then as Inu's 'Mate' were so happy,they were almost too perfect.

This is your story & what I love about FF is you are the writer, it's your storyline,plot & (my personal fav.) you can make the characters anyway you like...as I've already read up to ch.20 The way you gradually got Kag & Sessh to this point ,their meeting in the forest,their trust of each other sharing their pain.her awareness of him physically & the relationships your building.From what I've read it feels that once she gets the 'night mare' out & works on it  with Sessh together,

I think there's alot more to the night terrors .

19 As close as Shippo & Kag were I find it hard he didn't know she was like the walking dead & trying to hide it??

I must admit that although I read the 1st chap,I stopped after as I was afraid it would be a story based on sadness & I have a hard time personally with those types of stories & I avoid them at all cost.

I also can't help but feel that Midoriko was trying to tell her more that night she made the wish.She made the wish thinking only of Inuyasha & Midoriko asked her to think about Sessh or even Koga & the Midoriko couldn't go tell her what to choose. I read this story 2x & I started thinking of how Inu asked her to go alone outside & make the wish herself as it had to be a pure wish

I started to think of Inu & what he'd been thinking...did he still love Kikyo & was settling with Kagome & if so  was he afraid she'd see his doubt, they had no kids & never tried & in reading back it seemed that when his friends had kids & instead of asking Kagome if she'd want to   & was afraid always that she'd see the doubt in his eyes or that when he looked at her sometimes he'd still see Kikyo & not Kagome & his real reason for not having a child with her would be knowing that it would be the ultimate betrayal of heart & in his true heart the only woman he wanted to have a  child with was Kikyo. 

.

 & when he died his last words to her were for her to move on & find another & I think Kagome felt he just wanted the best for her but I don't think that's what he meant. I don't know if he really loved her....I mean no pups,Shippo gone,Sangos kids dying

While Kags was so wrapped up in worry did Inu notice that Sessh loved Kagome & could give her everything he couldn't?

There's no mention of Kikyo in this story or if Kagome got the rest of her soul & Kikyo died or if Inu really loved Kagome or if he never stopped loving kikyo & she was still undead & he still had sex with her body of  graveyard soil & bones ???

The more I think about it.Inu always knew Kag would want pups & make a wonderful mom.As he got older & died which seems only 200 yrs or so after the defeat of Naraku.

Why wouldn't he give her pups & family that he knew she wanted & deserved unless he was infertile & couldn't get her prego or he loved kikyo

I'm glad I went back & reread this. I love this & I'm dying watching Kag & Sessh suffer so. I really hope it's not another 20 chaps before they find happiness...it's like they're living in hell & he's got her key & she's got his key to the only door out

20

 I'm glad I took a chance & read it again. It's unfortunate that I read it at a time when the tone of the story feels as if it's about to  change.As I read it this time I found myself reading straight through to this last chap where Sessh opened up & even in your A.N. you mentioned that Kagome would finally tell Sessh of her nightmare...& I'm looking forward to this change in the dynamic of the story. I almost wish I'd waited & read until after then next chapter as the wait is so hard & I'm truly looking forward to ......a real relationship with love between Kagome & Sessh.

When you mentioned the dream-the one with Midoriko talking but her face changes into a wolf with red eyes & digs it's claws into her heart....& she can't make out the words,but she believes its Midoriko's voice,but she can never hear what she's saying & I started to think about how when Inu's Demon blood would take over & his eyes would turn red & he couldn't tell friend from foe...What if Inu when he was getting old & dying,feeling guilt about possibly mating Kag's but really still loving Kikyo & not giving her a pup because it would've been a grave dishonor to the Kags when the only one you'd only ever wanted to have a pup with was Kikyo..what if he started wandering at night & Kags would go after him & find him but in his delirium or guilt & loss of human brain function his inner demon would torture Kags to Death...but Kags unable to die because of the Jewel,coming back to consciousness alone would try to bury what Inu did & try to remember the words of Midoriko to have hope & not give up.That could have gone on...off & on for a century or more???

It would be great if she was able to share with Sessh the nightmare & she already told him about what happened with Midoriko & the Jewel & Midoriko told her then to talk to Sessh 1st, she knew Kags needed a powerful full demon & what if she new Kag's & Sessh were meant to be but couldn't tell her

the nightmare-ch.3?

Midriko stepped up to Kagome closing the gap between them as she then placed a hand over Kagome’s heart.  It was slightly warm as it started to glow but then the warm assuring feeling Kagome had been experiencing left quickly and in its place was a deep foreboding.  Part of her was screaming.  Stop this! Go Home! Think about this!Panicking Kagome tried to pull away from the hand when she realized, to her extreme terror, that the hand would not budge. So instead Kagome tried to push away but it was like pushing against a stone wall and she could do nothing but stand there.Then the face began to morph into something almost unrecognizable.  Deep glowing red eyes with the face of a rabid wolf now stood before her.  The manicured nails that were there only moments ago were now deadly claws.  The claw started to dig ripping through her shirt and skin until it’s talon like fingers wrapped around  her heart,  squeezing it harshly as an expression of delight transformed it’s features to look even more gruesome.  A tear ran down her cheek as Kagome felt her insides being ripped out.  The blood leaving a sticky warm trail as it ran down her front to pool at her feet.  Kagome was in so much pain she couldn’t even scream, she could only stand there whimpering as she waited for her end to come.Then the thing that was once Midriko started talking.  Kagome must have been getting delirious from the loss of blood because her only thought was how it could still be talking with such huge jaws and teeth.It wasn’t until she felt a jerking motion in her chest followed by a burning pain that spread along her spinal cord and then throughout the rest of her body.All Kagome could really think about now was that she would welcome death.  She just wanted it to be over she couldn’t stand the pain anymore.She started to cough up blood when the thing started to speak to her once more.  Apparently it had been speaking for some time but Kagome couldn’t or just didn’t hear it.  It could be because she couldn’t hear over the thundering heartbeat in her ears or due to the fact that her life’s blood was now painting the ground around her.Then everything got quiet and she could hear was the weird creature before her.  The voice was still pleasant and a big contradiction from what Kagome was seeing. “You are a brave soul Kagome, but remember there is no hope. It is the will of the Kamis.  You will spend the rest of your life alone watching the world change and move on without you.” At those last words it the rest of the creature started to glow brightly until its whole body looked as if alight.  From their connection Kagome’s too began to glow.  The glow slowly spread out from Kagome’s heart out surrounding her as her lungs started to burn in protest to the sudden lack of oxygen. (End Dream Sequence)

In ch 3-waking alone after her Nightmare,Inu's long dead, she thinks she's seeing Inu but It's probably Sessh but what if it's part of a memory she's trying to bury in unconscience........below is what she saw when she woke from the nightmare

If Sessh & Kagome together or with a seer can put it together..if this was true..that the nightmares were a combo of Inu's attacks,Midoriko's reminder of hope,her own fear & loneliness & Midoriko's hint about Sessh,a powerful demon

I so want them to be happy together & have long lives together & even better if they mated & Kags became a rare miko youkai & they had Miko inu dai youkai pups & the Jewel now part of Kags,one with her would make her & her pups with Sessh all mega powerful to defeat the horrible evil protect the jewel,now part of Kag & Sessh's bloodline,& if kag became a miko youkai she could have fangs or share blood with Sessh making him more powerful too. If anyone deserves a life of immortal happiness & power to protect the jewel..what a better family to do it.

Sorry for my babbling   

Kagome’s eyes shot open as she woke her hand over the heart that was desperately trying to escape from her throbbing chest. Sitting up slightly confused Kagome looked around the room in a panic as she tried to get her bearings. Outside the window a flash of glowing eyes caught Kagome’s attention.  Getting up to run to the window Kagome couldn’t help but wonder what he was doing.  Why was he out there in the middle of the night?

Congrats on your nomination!!! It is well deserved! Great update...it seems Sess' biggest problem was extreme jealousy not over the fact that his Dad slept with Izayoi but because he pulled away from Sess in a way. When you have all Dad's attention then lose it, some kids become lost.

no fair--a cliffy here--please update soon

Please update soon I cant wait to see what happens next. Thanks.
