Beautifully writen. He truely was a great man who deserves to be remembered with honor and praise for all that he did for everyone the world over. People like Nelson Mandela change the world without trying to change the world, but by changing what is around them. He was an amazing man.

This us a beautiful tribute! Thank you for writing maki weaving it seamlessly intothee storyline

This was amazing, thank you. He was an important figure and deserves to be perseved, thank you.

Thank you so much for honoring this great man. Well done.

I love your story so much.  I look forward everyday for the email that says you have updated.  Today's update was especially wonderful and I, too, agree that we should teach our children about Nelson Mandela and all that he has done to bring to light the injustices that are not only in South Africa, but in the world as well. Wonderful tribute and wonderful story.  I look forward to your next update. Happy Holidays!

awww so cute lovey dovey <3 ... I wish that my future husband would be just like the Sesshomaru potrayed in this storyy

I can't say this enough, I just love the romance of this fic. I love "watching" them fall in love with each other even though they had an arranged marriage. I adore Sesshoumaru's light and gentle attitude. His sometimes ackwardness about things. Oh and funny, he told Kagome to put the comforter from the bed away and get a coat when she was cold but wanted her to give him the afgan because he was cold. The tradition of Christmas is a fun even if you aren't of the same religion. It's meant for love, family and friends and giving gifts to show that love on this one special day of the year. Just like Valentine's Day is about lover's and exchanging gifts,roses and chocolate to show that special person you love them. I love what you doing with their relationship, it's beautiful.   JEN

Well done! <3

sooo happpy to see you backkk

Pfffft -2 is not cold.  That is not even hat weather yet.

I have been remiss at keeping myself updated here on Dokuga and I'm sorry for that but as you said, Real Life... hmmm, yeah. I just wanted to let you know just wonderfully sweet and sincere this fic is. I have sat here reading without stopping so I could just totally enjoy the whole thing over again. I love Sesshoumaru in this. He so kind and sweet, trying to do all the "right things" to make Kagome happy. I love that he's jealous over a fictional character, as my husband is also. Funny. The apartment reminds me of the many little places we lived in when we were newly married. How to make such a small space feel like a home with all the comforts we're used to having.

It is just just so sweetly romantic the way they are with each other and I think that the way they entered into the arrangement was not only odd and awkward for them both but still so endearing the way they both tried to make each time spent together comfortable. The love is growing or shall I say blossoming into something that will be strong and lasting because they're getting to know one another at a real, slow, natural rate rather than jumping right from hello to bed and into a full blown I love you, let's get married kind of thing.

I give you kudos for your writing too. I believe you have a gift to be nutured and complimented. Don't ever give up. You have a great imagination and a good eye for detail. The flow is perfectly fine to me as this story is written in real time instead of quick time to gain action and adventure as some writer's do. This is a perfect romance, as I once said already and I am so happy to have found it.  JEN

wow i was thinking now that they have married wht more twists n turns you could add to juice up the story but well day to day life is hectic as it is and you don't need anythin artificial to keeep the story  going ... You are amazing :)

I absolutely love this story, it's so cute and informative at the same time. I would like to see we're things go with Sango and Koga and if Miroku will continue his, I guess you can call it, relationship/flirtations. I can't wait for the next chapters, keep 'Em coming ^_^

Cute, keep it coming.

I find It really amusing that you made sesshomaru jealous of Darcy. My boyfriend of many years is completely jealous of my reading anything pride and prejudice because of the Darcy character. I find it so cute!! He has yet to figure out my obsession with sesshomaru yet!!!

Sweet, keep it coming.

awww sweet budding love ... the Chapter was kawaiiii <3

Sweet, keep it coming. 

theres something sweet and naughty about the idea of this, you didnt do anything smutty, which is okay but the implied is just as nice :3 almost romantic love it!
