Wow....you really came out of that block with a bang, huh?
First, I want to thank you! No one's ever dedicated a story to me before, and I feel so loved! ::hugs you tight:: I'm glad you're writing again.
Now on to the story itself...It's a change having an entire one shot like this from Inuyasha's point of view. Usually writers use Kagome's POV, or sometimes, Sesshoumaru's. Inuyasha's for a whole story and not just a couple paragraphs is a novel thing indeed!
I think you got the characterisation spot on - he's just the right blend of guilt, anger towards himself and self-pity. Inuyasha to the core. You chose the simple version - Sesshoumaru's saves Kagome's life and wins her heart. But the very simplicity of it goes to show Inuyasha how easy it was for him to lose the girl. Even if he doesn't say it, it's the unsaid point that keeps niggling the reader through the story - that's it's all too easy to lose someone you love. Be careless, and they could be gone.
Well written!

This was really good. It has enough emotion that you wanted to cry, but you knew that inuyasha deserved everything that he recieved. I really enjoyed this. Thank y ou
*Sniffle* I really can't write a review when I'm crying this hard... poor Inuyasha. You don't know what you got til it's gone.

First of all: I am so happy that you are about to (or already have) overcome your writer's block. There is nothing more hideous than that for an artist. But now to your songfic...
WOW!!!
This is absolutely beautifully written. At every point of the story the flow of words was amazingly fluent. I was hooked from the very first second. And while reading it, I had always the song in my ears, although I am not very familar with it. What I loved most about it though, was how you interweaved the song with your story. Inuyasha is very in character and Kagome and Sesshomaru are such a sweet item. And I felt that the switch of perspective in the end was a very good idea. And the last sentence was very poetic.
Unfortunately, I don't have anything to critizise, so I don't know how useful this review will be, but alas... Nobody is perfect. ;)
I am really looking forward to see more from you!!!
