Between yesterday and today I have read this story and am totally enjoying it. I even managed to cry for Kagome in Tortuga. I'm really looking forward to next installments. I love the flow of it and how everything is going. May I ask, where is Shippo? Did he die as well?  I love the interactions between Kagome and Sesshoumaru and I think if I was Gerda I woulda winked at Kagome as well there is obviously a little more affection blossoming between the two of them ^_^

A thrilling, exciting story full of historical facts mixed into the fantasy. It's been a pleasure to read this - even in the parts that really really touch a nerve (I tend to just stop reading things if they mention of a certain nerve of mine), it's so well written that you just can't bare to stop reading it, and you'll be aching for more. The characters are very well portrayed, the places and times well explained, each detail sums up to a harmony of elements that catches your attention in a way you'll be dreaming of possible future happenings the night after you read a chapter (I know I dreamed of this story at least three times already!). True, it's not a story for people easily affected by bad stuff, but if you can take a good adventure, read this. You won't regret it. Thank you, RosieB, for the great time I'm having reading this.

lol at Kagome flirting with Sesshomaru and him not being able to handle it.  Another great chapter.  I'm not complaining about how long your updates take because your updates are always like little presents on Christmas.  They make me smile.  And the detail with Beethoven...brillant!

Loved it per usual.

Absolutely fantastic as always!! And completely worth the wait!  This is one of my favorite stories!

-falls over- wow. all I can say is; WOW.

This has been an interesting chappie. I look forward to finding out who has been pulling the strings and orchestrating  the destruction of demons and world domination. Thanks for the history lesson... you definitely make what I had learn back in high school more interesting. I like how you try to stay as accurate as possible to make the story feel more authentic. Keep up the good work and update soon :P

Well, it was definetely worth the wait. Excellent as always. A plot that revolves around going through history is amazing. It makes me feel not so guilty about my guilty little pleasure of reading S/K stories, when I am also getting a learning experience. Can't wait to read where they are next!

i can't tell you enough how much i love your stories!  especially this one, as you take such care into weaving it into actual history.  as a history buff, i love every moment of it, and it opens my eyes to the things that have taken place in the past.  if only i could draw, then i would make you a piece of fanart as well to show my appreciation.  but for now, words will have to suffice.  i look forward to the next chapter!

Wow! I was just think how much I miss this story, and then you updated...... I think I might be psychic ;) Anyway, I would like to personally thank your muse for returning to you, and (as always) I can't wait to see what happens next especially now that Sess and Kags are "back together".

I have to admit this is probably my favorite story on the site, hands down for so may reasons that include my admiration of the time you take to craft your stories, your historical accuracy, and I nearly jumped from the seat when I read Beethoven was directing.  Then I thought of Kagome and the year 1812, the summer of the year specifically, when Beethoven wrote many letters to a person revealed only as My Immortal Beloved, and I have to admit I wondered if Sesshoumaru or Kagome would being play the role of Beethoven's beloved, which is one of the neater mysteries we have left to us.

After all that, I can only say how much I have enjoyed this delicately written and powerfully told tale!  I look forward to more when the opportunity arises.

all in all this story is so wonderful to read its suck a good love story about  Sesshoumaru and Kagome . to tell you the truth i wasn't such a big fan of SesshoumaruxKagome but after reading your story i like them being together. adding in real history to the story makes it be more amazing then it already is . its such a goos story . keep up the good work. cant wait for the rest!!:D

I suppose that many people have now been reading this fanfiction because of YoukaiYume's beautiful fanart that she has done.

She always knows the greatest stories to read <3

I'm so glad I read it too, so interesting. I loved the chapter about Tortuga, and everything so far has kept me on the edge of my seat :)

I look forward to many  more updates. <3 You are just so talented m'dear. I'll be sure to grab my sketchbook and make you some fanart when I find the time (Oh where oh where could it be)

I don't recall if I've read your stories before, but this one has surely done the tricked. It has completely sucked me in! They're portrayal in character is really wonderful, especially through all their trails and tribulations. To see them grow is refreshing to say the least. I hope you're doing well! And I hope to see new chapters! Thank you for this wonderful tale. :)

Love the story...not only is it well researched but the points in history that you pick are pivotal in their very nature. So I'm waiting with baited breath for a new chapter, but until that comes I'll continue to re-read what you have given us thus far.

I love this story.  It is always fun to mix history with fiction.  Look forward to another fantastic chapter.

I have to say this story has been the most educational and one of the most exquisitely made fic that I've had the pleasure of reading (that includes also The Once and Future Taiyoukai). I really appreciate all the effort you put into weaving your tale to incorporate historical facts. I can only imagine the research & brainstorming you go thru for each marvelous chapter you produce. You're one great yarn spinner. Hope to have the pleasure of reading more chapters and fics from you soon...cheers to you and good luck on future endeavors.

Awesome chapter!!  I have been waiting for another update and you did not disappoint!!  I love the pacing of the story and the historical aspects of each chapter is always a delightful treat!!  You're an awesome writer RosieB, keep up the good work!!

It is an amazing talent to be able to craft such a vivid and spell binding story line, and keep it all together at that.

I love your writing. Keep up the good work
