Squeee!  I am so glad that this has finally been updated.  I love the poilitcal intrigue, and I feel for Kagome.  I understand that the evidence against her is condemning, but Sesshomaru should have more faith in her.  I am looking forward to the reunion of those two.

finally =D

thank you!!!!

OH MY GOSH! You have NO CLUE how much I've missed this story! I've been so depressed thinking that you'd given up on it. This chapter was so good! I hope to see another update soon! I don't think I can wait another year...lol.

i was so excited that you updated, i was afraid something had happened to you.  Great chapter by the way

Yay...yay...yay!!!!!!!!Thank you...thank you...thank you!!!!! *jumping up and down*.  This update has made my day.  I'm sooooo happy you finally updated.  I can't wait to read the next chapter.  I hope you'll update again soon.

please update

hi, you said in your last update n dancing with scissors that you only need one more chapter and its (dancing..) done. after you finish that please go back to writing this story. i really want to know what will happen next. what will sesshoumaru do? how how will kagome react when she fins out that sesshoumaru believes that she really is the one responsible for the attack.

I started reading this story before I read the statistics on it as I usually don't read the ones that have not been updated recently.  My experience is the author has abandoned them.  I am truly saddened if that is the case here.

The amount of intrigue, action, and romance are well balanced and the character development is sufficiently detailed without bogging down the flow the the piece.

I hope you will consider continuing this work in the future, one can only hope you will rediscover your interest in it. 

Thank you for this portion of it at least.

omg i read this story over and over again

and i'm just waiting for you to update.

it's such a great story and iloooveee it!

keep up the good work and hopefully update soon

i'll be waiting! <3

I, just sat down and read 43 chapters in a row! It's so good, I need more! I hope You write more soon, I just read the last word a few minutes ago and the suspense is already killing me!

please please update soon....

i'm dying from anticipation thinking what will happen next......

5 months without any update...    ='((

i really love your story. i hope you'll update soon because i really want to find out whats going to happen. my imaginations going wild thinking of all the different scenarios.

this is an amazing story, wen are u gonna add to it?

**Sigh** I just finished rereading this...will there be another chapter coming soon? (gentle poke)  I am torn on whether I like this more than DWS or the same!  Maybe, because they are so different, I like them both the best? 

P.S.  You are fantastic!

i've been anxiously waiting for you to update. its sad that kagome's brother had a part of sesshoumaru's sisters death. i want sesshoumaru and kagome to be finally reunited. even if he doesn't want to see her, i want them to be together.. or at least talk. keep up the good work and please update soon!

please please update soon! will be waiting

keep up the good work. you have an amazing writing style

and i very much enjoy reading this. : )

Wow!  I started reading this fic, noticing it placed in the top three of the third quarter awards, and I could not stop reading it! I well done on the characterizations, emotions, and unique story line. You had me yelling at Sesshomaru to see the evidence did not add up---she was with him at the time of the last letter (when would she have written it?) and Kagome is very intelligent--why would she leave all her supposed correspondace layingaround?  Why wouldn't they question the maid?  Why wouldn't they question the mikos who wrote the letters? If Inutashio dies---will Sesshoumaru remember the Tensiga?  Can Lady Inoue put it all together in a convincing fashion?  Will Gina know an herbal concotion that would act as a truth serium and slip it to Okuri?

Maybe the ghosts of the past will help Kagome?

A waiting the update....

You've wound me up, cracked me up, and brought me down. Very different from Dancing With Scissors. Your style is wonderfully reversed and the research shows. I assume that the explanation for the Longest Night was based on Ameterasu?

A heart clenching, muddy, bloody slog through the effects of war. Visceral.
