When I saw you were updating after a year I almost didn't read your story, I get so said when stories don't get completed.  However what a waste that would have been not to read your story for it is amazing.  You are truly gifted as a writer and your story development is AWESOME!

Now I have a problem I cannot wait for the next update. Please do not be too long for Kagome and Sesshoumaru need time together, they are almost there in their relationship.

Thanks again, you are really talented.

Whew, glad your chapter ended on a high note. Your writing is amazing! The plot twists are great, and I'm loving how everything is comming together. Though Sesshy's lack of faith is pissing me off, it's entirely in his character and I'm trying to forgive him. I hope the ring plays a role soon and that Kagome possibly being found with his father's sword doesn't cause any irrevocable damage. I'd never forgive you if this were a complete romeo and juliet ending, its starting to feel that way. RawR! Regardless, I can't wait for your next chapter, hope you update SOON, and hope that you had a great thanksgiving.

This story is epic and the best I´ve read in the last few years. I love the characters, the interaction, the well written drama and all the political intrigue. Dancing with Scissors is good as well but nothing beats this story. I can´t wait for an update and hope you´ll have the time to do so as soon as possible.

And she's finally free!! Lets see how things go from here. There's only looking up...right? Its sure to be a reunion of the century no matter who she meets up with. There are so many things at play now and I can't wait to see how the story lines meet up now. Im rooting for Kagome!!

boxing gloves made of rope and dipped in glass? Methinks someone has watched ong bak the thai warrior! If not you definately should, love your descriptions from the tournament, it seems like you may have some experience with fighting?

I would just like to say..."GO KAGOME!!!!"   *Does happy dance*  Man this story needed so happiness about right now, I mean sheez. However, what awaits her at home with Sesshomaru may be worst. I wonder if she is pregnant?

i totally forgot you were the author of this story! I remember ready this a very long time ago. Im glad your updating it again! This is a wonderful piece too! Nothing beats Dancing with Scissors, though, well my opinion anyway ;)

All Right!  An update!  I love this story!

^.^ cant wait for more!!!!!

YAY! Another update! I can't wait for when Kagome and Sesshomaru reunite. I've been on the edge of my seat for so long, wondering what's going to happen next. Keep it up!

^_^ You have no clue how glad I am that you're updating this story again!!! It's easily one of my all-time favorites! Keep up the awesome work!

Btw...please please tell me Inupapa's gonna wake up!?

Oh my god, I was so excited when you updated XD I love this story!

Kagome is finally going to escape. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Run Kagome! Run!

Yay...she's free!!!!! Sooo relieved she didn't get sexually assaulted.  I can't wait to read the next chapter.  I'm so happy you're finally updating this story again

OMG OMG OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T END IT THERE. WHY TEASE ME SOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

OH PLEASE OH PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!!!

I woke & finshed to ch 44 the last ch written I can't stop crying. this is horrible I don't know if this is the end or when it was last written . I wish Gina would give him the ring & the father wakes but  I don't know if I made a terrible mistake reading something that will never have an end or closure which is why I hate angst filled  stories with sad endings & right now that is exactly what this is

I am on chapter 38 & I just started reading this chapter & after reading what Okuri wants those idiot human generals that basically destroyed Kagome's childhood, family & lands & they are really going to try to do it too. That actually hurt to read, assasinate Sessh's father & frame Kagome for the act, while kidnaping her & taking her into human lands & killing her there. Then that idiot being used to spy on the people who have cared for him his whole life & doing it because Okuri said he'd let him mate his daughter of course, forget  the fact that this idiot believes if he tries to rape or romance Kagome which he is now being told to do & attempting to try, will get him killed .Why would any demon side with him after all the evil things he has done & orchestrated. He even killed his own son for carrying out his own orders,who would trust a man who would kill his own child without even attempting to get an explanation out of him or let him say a word in his own defense, he just ran up to him while he was crawling on the ground in pain & cut off his own son's head.He is using this very same daughter in any way he can, he is still trying to get her mated to Sessh as soon as he can get someone to kill or kidnap Kagome to get her out of the way & I don't think that Sessh would do it if something happened to Kagome he wasn't willing to do it before he mated Kagome, a human MIko enemy of his race & Inu-youkai's mate for life. I'm confused because I know in this story they have many hanyou's around but in this story you haven't touched on a youkai mating a human & if it extends their life spans like you see in most stories. I don't know if this was true for the anime & I didn't read the manga .I only know that in most ff I've read if a youkai mates & marks ,not just ruts, but if they become mated they share the youkai's lifespan & in this story from what I've read so far a youkai or more so a Taiyoukai,the most powerful one, has mated a Miko, possibly one of the most powerful ones....will her lifespan increase???? what will their children be like???? could it be possible they would become miko-youkai, like a new  pure species  the best, strongest traits of both parents....the pups would be powerful beyond belief & if they could fight using both powerful demon attacks , miko attacks & have the healing traits & abilities of both parents & the lifespan. I really hope that it turns out that this mating has increased Kagome's lifespan to Sessh's or this is going to be so sad a story & she has suffered so much already. I was so upset to hear that one of the guys that hurt her when she was a kid was not only alive but considered a high rannking member of society...meaning  several things,Kaede lied to her all this time,why lie about something she would find out was a lie eventually & now she has to relive it & if he's alive & unpunished that means most likely none of the guys who hurt her were punished & are all alive,moving up the social ladder. Her father was a martyr,giving his life to save many  & this is how they all treat his legacy,by destroying his son & daughter & taking over his lands & not one person gave a damn. That one woman got a council seat & instead of using her position to help others....knowing what happened to Kagome,her family & her lands.....she used her as a bargaining chip in a peace treaty & allowed one of the men who tortured her as a child to get a seat on the council. If her & the other 2 that came up with this peace treaty agreement do not realize that it is a second away from being violated & the youkai already are aware of what is going on.Add on the Miko's that abondoned the sisterhood & said they were leaving to with the intent to attack youkai.....they are guilty of violating the peace treaty & under this peace treaty should be able to arrest them otherwise there will be war.With all this going on there is no way they don't know what is going on & they are doing nada.....they are not even trying to stop it.Kaede should be kicking up a storm regarding rogue Miko's  trying to restart the war.  ...............................................................I'm sorry I really like happy endings & angst filled stories with sad endings just really affect me badly........I'm almost afraid to keep reading............I've been reading this all day maybe I should take a break for now...........yeah it's almost 5a.m.

I started reading this story early today & I feel awful that this is the first time I have been able to stop myself from reading long enough to leave a review. I'm terribly sorry & I pray that the writer will for forgive me due to what I can only say as the reason for my inability stop to review was due to these important facts: 1st that this story is amazing & unique  &  2nd that I was so enraptured reading I couldn't find it in my heart to stop but the realization & guilt of getting to the 30th chapter without reviewing finally won and I am here now doing it.

                  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this wonderful story & I will continue reading now.

                          Respectfully yours-

                                     Lara 

YAY!  I remember this story!  I read it so looong agooooo......

So glad you are working on this story now.  I figure you wanted to finish Dancing With Scissors first before tackling this monster!

Great update and hope to see more in the near future.

Ohhhh finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have been waiting patiently for this update you just have no idea.  While Dancing is my second favorite fanfiction work ever, I love this story so much!!  Oh I hope Kagome can get free and prove herself innocent.  Something tells me it's not going to be easy but unless the General wakes up she's got no proof in her favor.  Please please please update this one soon I don't think I can take it!  Does it sound like I'm begging?  Yep that's exactly what I'm doing LOL!
