Oh wow! I thought I knew for sure who S was... You threw me off completely till the last chapter. I thought S hurt her so that she would be with him in the past, but you obviously have a devious mind! Great plot and twist there. Kudos to another amazing story! :) 

stellla, what happened in the end? from " A shrill, blood chilling shriek echoed through the serene atmosphere. Familiar faces passed before her unseeing eyes, insistent hands shook her immobile form in vain. Sharp claws raked her side, piercing through her momentary stasis"

is it that kags became youkai and killed all her friends? :D

Words escape me on how much I LOVE this fanfic. You had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, no freakin' lie! The imagery, wordplay, and how every chapter is a different character point of view is masterfully and artfully constructed. I am absolutly spellbound by your story. I had to re-read, then re-read again and again, never getting tired of doing so because it was THAT good.

I have never read a story where Shippo lusted after Kagome, yet you went even futher to show us how he went psycho crazy as the years went by without her and remembering that she was not his. You portrayed emotions so accurately and showed your readers that someone so innocent can go evil, that no, innocence does not always last. 

Then there's Sesshomaru. You portrayed him perfectly! He was both aloof yet connected towards Kagome in her time of need, then BAM! Total sexual attraction but deeper. The connection went striaght to their hearts and souls weither they realized it or not.

Also, I normally prefer a detialed love scene; however, your wordplay and imagery was so well put that I didn't even notice the lack. God, there is so much I love about this that no review could adequetly describe how much this effected me. Well done, hellcat, well freakin' done!

Wow you got me with that twist. I first thought it was Sesshoumaru, then Inuyasha. That would explain why he never left, cause he was a child...

WOW!!! That was just...WOW!!!! I am completely at a loss for words. YOU have some serious talent going on there. What a perfect way to end such an unsuspecting twist. 

This story is amazing, keep it coming.

At first I thought it was Sesshomaru and then by chapter 3 I had mix thoughts about it being him and at the last chapter when Kagome screamed, I was like 'Oh it was Shippou!' I couldn't believe it was him! I felt scared for her! I wouldn't have thought he would lust after her, maybe it was her caring nature and her acceptance of him that made him obsess with her. But I can see that cycle that made him attack her in the future, he definitely smelled Sesshomaru on her.

Great job, it was creepy yet I loved it!

Oh wow. I didn't see that coming. I guess with all the fandom, I sometimes forget that he's technically something like 2 years older than her and could possibly see her as more of a friend than a mother. Then again.... the boy could just be doing this because of a mental breakdown due to feelings of abandoment that we have yet to see. It'd be kind of ironic if he were refering to Sesshoumaru having been the one who took her, and that their future association was only caused by his future attack. I enjoyed this little detour, and although I wish I knew what caused the dear boy's mental crack, I'm just as happy having read what I have. Bravo! Bravo!!

(After reading the others' reviews)...

>_< I can't believe it was Shippou. I actually got confused because I couldn't imagine him lusting after her like that or even harming her.

Gosh, so twisted.

So amazing.

I loved this.

Wonderful story! <3 You did an awesome job.

Amazing.

But I'm confused as to who it is that she fears.

Shippou? :/

Was he the one who killed her?

>_<

Oh my god that was amazing!  I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!  I absolutely loved it and you did an amazing job my dear :)

=Mistress=

WOW. Just...WOW. Totally did not see that coming! You had me completely convinced that I knew who "S--" was, right up to the last paragraph! BRAVO!!

Wow, Stella. Seriously wow.

I can't believe you had Shippo lust after her like that and kill her!

Twisted. Very very twisted.

Love it! Great job!

Awesome twist at the end! I enjoyed reading this one! Wonderful job!

~~O.O Ohhhhh I totally get it!! Interesting twist, Stella dear! Very clever way of hiding it, too! I'll admit, it makes me a little sad, but it's refreshing!
