I don't like reading stories where Kagome dies and Sesshomaru is mourning, but at the same time I love them since they do invoke such strong emotions! I had to stop myself from tearing up. However, I am curious what disease came over Kagome...hmmm.

Yes! Kagome grew a back-bone!It's terrible however how jealousy can make people say the nastiest but most painful truths out there. But I really liked what Kagome said, Inuyasha needed to know that Kikyo can't always be held with a high regard. If Inuyasha didn't want to hear the truth, he shouldn't have said anything in the first place!

This was extremely creepy. If I was there, I would have been like 'hell no, I'm not going in there!'. Shoot, don't they know not to go in a creepy forest! And even Kagome told them not too, that was a big enough clue to be at least hesitant of going in... smh.

Hahaha Sesshomaru just went overbroad with that, poor Kagome shouldn't have asked in the first place. She should have been aware from the get-go that their perspective on things are vastly different.

Sooo cold-hearted! Especially when Sesshomaru's supposed to be an ally!? My jaw dropped when he told that lizard to do whatever it wanted with her! It is realistic of Sesshomaru since he thinks the strongest could only survive while the weak are left for food or whatnot, and the only person he would even protect would be Rin. Maybe his behavior/attitude was needed for Kagome to get a reality check that Sesshomaru isn't like everybody else.

For some reason, I really liked how Kagome was portrayed in this one. Too much kindness and cheerfulness does gets tiresome after a while especially when a situation like this comes into play. Like why would you help someone when they didn't show some hospitality in the first place when it was freezing outside. I can understand Kagome's anger. Even though this may seem horrible, she did good in this one.

Smh, Inuyasha really needs to let go of Kikyo, it leads to nothing but trouble. I think the only reason everybody else stayed in the group was because of Kagome. If it was just Inuyasha, well he would have been by himself all this time. I think Sesshomaru made a good choice into leaving.

I liked it. Rin's reactions and concerns seemed so Rin-like. Though, there really isn't much to say here, I dunno, doesn't evoke the same reaction that some of the other ones have. Guess I'll go back to writing or reading. 

Okay, so I didn't exactly know how to express my thoughts on this when I first read it so I let it sit for a little and have now decided to review it since the next entry is out. 

I like this one. I like how she was angry over something that she felt was taken from Inuyasha, something that he deserved. I like that Sesshomaru acted like any feudal lord word at someone who was below him in status would act, wishing punishment. I've always felt that Sesshomaru would hold very tightly to tradition because of how he acts in the series. It just kind of makes sense.

And I like that Inuyasha took the beating instead of Kagome. That's what Inuyasha would've done, though he probably wouldn't put up more of a fight for Kagome but eh. 

I really wonder if Kagome would outstep her boundries again while she is there. If she does, how does she do it? Certainly it is something so outrageous that she would be foolish not to stand up against. And would Inuyasha or one of her other friends take the brunt of her actions again? Or would she, after they try to take the punishment for her again, step in front of them and take the beating or whatever? Would her kill her? Or do something far more degrading to her, something that would take away her honor? Ahem... like rape-food-ish?

Kind of makes you think, makes me want to write a longer story revolving around Kagome trying to behave herself in Sesshomaru's home when he's a complete and utter dick. 

Omg Sesshomaru was so evil in this one! Poor Kagome, that is like the third worse death out there (that's what I personally think) falling to your death, ah I can't imagine it!

Somehow this idea reminds me of one of my darker ideas based on Hades and Persephone. But that is probably only because Sango is paralyzed and in my idea, the one playing Persephone (Rin) could not move her legs. 

One may consider this dark, and to some extent I guess it is but I juse kind of find this sad if you know what I mean. Like, how would Miroku and Sango ever have their twenty kids without it being miserable on the both of them and Miroku looking like a sick bastard who used her body. Probably couldn't even so because she can't used her body. Most tragic romance ever if you think about it. But I also think it was very touching that Kagome would stare care for Sango and love and cry over her even when Sango told her not to. 

I really liked this one, and I think it's one of the better ones in here. And to make it darker, I'm going to pretend that this didn't state it was a cat yokai and instead it was Sesshomaru because yeah right, like Inuyasha or any of them could kill him. 

So they attacked her and damaged her vocal cords or would she be too scared too speak another foreign word in the past because of what the bandits did?

And I do believe this would be a reasonable reaction from bandits in the feudal era. She's strangely dressed and she speaks an odd language. If you setting this prior to the 1520's, then it makes perfect sense. Otherwise I might raise an eyebrow but it would be still okay. (I believe 1527 was when the first foreigners outside of China were introduced to Japan)

Nice to see a change of pase, not that that hasn't been happening lately. You do have a lot where it is Kagome suffering/dying so it's a nice change to see a couple Sesshomaru ones. Interesting how this worked. It would be an explanation for how nothing changes in the future in a massive way because of Kagome's actions in the past. Even though Kagome would say or do something that should change the future, fate corrects itself on its own. Sesshomaru didn't die in battle but he didn't survive very long either.

I wonder if Sesshomaru would feel cheated or feel hatred towards Kagome because she warned him of the way he would die but he died anyways.

Am I the only one who thought of Jesus just slightly? Not Christian or anything but this was kind of what I thought when I read this.

And I like that Rin was the one who warned him, told him that he was not dead so he shouldn't have stepped foot in the underworld while still alive and return. It would seem like something Rin would know since she was the one who has died twice already (and with her habit of dying so frequently, I would think that Sesshomaru would steal the Meido stone from his mother so that he can revive Rin any time she decided to die again). 

Okay... WHAT?

A little back story to this one would help grow an emotional response because mainly I was thinking, where did their relationship form? Is Naraku dead? Who is this strange woman and what does she have against Kagome and Sesshomaru being together? And why was it sustained by Kagome's power? Was she in fact running from Sesshomaru who had poisoned her and we are listening to an unreliable narrator? 

Yes, there were multiple time when in the series she jumps into the well and doesn't go through and in fanfictions it happens often too but no one mentions the fact she would must likely break her legs. Thank you! I do appreciate the realism that that element adds here. Good use of the prompt by the way, hadn't even thought of it that way.

"Why Inuyasha, you are being so very eloquent today. May I remind you that you are the only bastard present."

Can I tell you how much I love that line? It's so lol-worthy. Why don't more authors use lines similar to that? It's just so obvious because Inuyasha is the bastard and I don't believe that Sesshomaru would let it slide.

Oh yes, and a real life Sesshomaru would be so much crueler. I have a feeling that he wouldn't have saved Rin nor would he have saved anyone else in the series. Don't get me wrong, the Sesshomaru we had was awesome but his character development seemed a little random.

Was the kid Sesshomaru's too? Would Kagome forgive Shippo later on after she realizes what she did to the poor kit and how bad he feels? Or (if Sesshomaru's the father), would Sesshomaru end up killing Shippo in rage and that leads to relationship problems between him and Kagome because Kagome feels as if it is her fault that Shippo is dead and she feels guilty because she never got to say to Shippo that she understood?

And I am a Shippo fan too. Love the little rascal. 

Wait, what was with the Kagura thing? Is Sesshomaru going to become rape-food for once? And that is an interesting wish, I wonder what the consequence of such a wish would be. Any ideas?

well. being beaten up is better than being sold as slaves.

so at least this is a somewhat happy ending
