OH HELL YEAYUS WOMAN!  AN UPDATE AND A RATHER LENGTHY ONE YAAAAY! Ahem... I've calmed down a tad now. I absolutely loved how he regarded that Kagome had braided his hair. It was so... well... Sesshomaru and perfect in every way. You are quite skilled at keeping him in character while still portraying he's not an absolute cold pain in the ass. He remains composed without ever giving very much away - yet is full of surprises with some of his decisions. I adored how he realized all she did do for him and summoned her to follow him in so very few words. This is one of my favourite chapters. They way you've conveyed his thoughts and feelings however fleeting they may have been was brilliant! I am sorry to hear that you are injured. I wish you a speedy recovery my friend. I also hope your relative has healed. Thank you for finding the time to update during such trying times. Your updates have always been worth the wait. In your author's notes you mentioned that you are uncertain how to proceed from here. Perhaps I can throw a few ideas out there, not that I'd expect any of them to be used ha ha. Hm, she and Shippo will now be joining his pack and she has yet to formally ask Sesshomaru for aid with Inuyasha. Perhaps focus on their journey together to wherever it may be he wishes to go next. Perhaps he wishes to return back to his lands or has business elsewhere or a matter to settle etc. Also Shippo will be with them, that can definitely add some comedice relief. There is also Rin, perhaps whenever Sesshomaru reunites with her or maybe the next journey could be him on his way to collect Rin. During this journey more interaction can transpire between the priestess and Daiyokai. Inuyasha may even make an appearance and stor thungs up. I'm not certain if these ideas are worth much hee hee. I simply love this tale of yours and hope that you can find the inspiration you desire. 

Not at all! Tongue tied and blushing...aw Kags, come on, spit it out! I can see the eyebrow. Can't wait for more!

Poor Kahs, I sympathize. I too am quite clumsy. Poor Shippo, I can imagine Sheesh would be an intimidating presence. I've been gone a week, enjoying friends and lovely Colorado. So now I'm catching up. Love this fic. You catch the nuances and don't rush the story. 

AAAAAAAAAAH! You're correct! Not at all what I was expecting. Poor Kagome and a classic Sesshomaru. I love how you maintain the integrity of his character. He may very well be intrigued by her, however he's still... well ... He's Sesshomaru, ha ha! Beautifully done my friend! 

Sesshoumaru's mind reading abilities are greatly exagerated or sometimes you just need to use your words.

Hahahahahahahaaaa classic clumsy as all hell Kagome! The woman was all confident and excited to present her plan for them to form an alliance and the poor thing probably fell on her face, she was so stupified with enthusiasm. I can imagine Sesshomaru's raised eyebrow bahahahaha.Great chapter! Thank you for updating so quickly. 

Kagome's definitely captured the Inu Lord's attention. I've been eagerly anticipating their conversation about forming an alliance. Kagome and her awkwardneas - Sesshomaru and his stoic ways. This will be something alright heh heh. Great chapter and thank you for the update! 

This is so good and you give us just enough to keep us wanting more! Thanks for the update. Cheers!

Lovely update. As always, all she needs to do is breathe and think. Will keep an eye out for that movie. Thanks so much for posting.

I happen to fancy Korean movies. Some of my favourites being  Kundo, Woochi, Secret Reunion, Duelist, A take of Two Sisters and 3 Extremes (3 movies in one. First is Chinese, second Korean, third Japanese.) Thanks so much for the recommendation. I see Kagome's excited about presenting her plan to the daiyokai. I'm curious to see how she'll do so and how he will respond. 

There you go Kagome, take a deep breath and move on. Nice update. Thanks. 

I don't know if I reviewed this or not but darn, it made me grin again. This is like treating your good server badly. Suck it up big guy! Nice chapter.  Thanks!

Sometimes we need a few moments to fall apart before we find our center again.

Yaaaay! I see Kagome is managing to soothe her frayed nerves.  I'm curious if Inuyasha can be helped and what is Sesshomaru's role in that? I'm also anxious to continue to watch their relationship develop further. Thank you for yet another wonderful update. 

Great chapters, keep it coming.

 How God Created Mother

God took the fragrance of a flower,
The majesty of a tree,
The gentleness of a morning a dew
The calm of a quiet sea,
The beauty of a twilight hour
The soul of a starry night
The laughter of the rippling brook,
The grace of a bird in flight,
Then God fashioned from these things
A creation like no other,
And when His masterpiece was through,
He called it simply...MOTHER.

Happy Mother's Day!

M- is the million things she gave me.
O- means only that she's growing old.
T- is for the tears shed to save me.
H- is for her heart of purest gold.
E- is for her eyes, with love & light shining.
R- means right, and right she'll always be.

Happy Mother's Day!

I started over from the beginning to remind myself of how we got here. I had forgotten that Inuyasha was seemingly lucid when he attacked Kagome. At first I had wondered if Sesshoumaru had brought her back. It seems that wouldn't have been possible. It's no wonder Kagome is so horrified. We still have no idea what happened to Inuyasha, what triggered his murderous rage, or where he currently is. All we know is that Kagome returned to deliver his child and indications are that both survived. I think at this pojnt she's so caught up in the horror of what has happened, she's forgotten that they could all still be in danger. She had better pull herself together quickly and figure out what happened to Inubaka.

I enjoyed the angst in the last two chapters. Kagome was overwhelmed with a haunting sense of nostalgia. She had to break away in order to breakdown in private. It is good to see that she was able to muster inner strength from a moment of vulnerability.  Thabk you for the two fantastic updates!  

I Love the relationship between Shippo and Kagome. It is an outward sign that although Sesshoumaru and Kagome are polar opposites in many ways, they have more in common than he would admit. I think it's one of the things that make this ship believable for me. That scene was just too cute.I can't imagine Shippo getting up to the same shenanigans with Sesshoumaru as he does with Inuyssha, especially in these conditions. I suspect that although he would be jealous of her attention, he would eventually accepr Sesshoumaru as a worthy mate for his mother.

This has really turned into a lovely story. I am enjoying this so much. You have worked so hard to keep this true to their characters. I really liked that little comment about Jaken being upset with her. So sorry that I did not review earlier. I was reading on my Kindle but I can't review on it. I guess Dokuga and Kindle don't play nice. Can't wait to read your next update. 

I took a peek at your profile as requested. That is a beautiful banner that Sesshomaru's Secret Admirer has made. It fits this story well. I did enjoy the longer chapter - it flowed. Sesshomaru seems perplexed as to how and why the kit and miko have bonded as they have. Even though he has also bonded with a young human girl as if she were his pup. I wonder what about it exactly, has him bewildered. I enjoyed the tender moment between Shippo and Kagome. I'm always so thrilled to see you have updated. Thank you for the wonderful update.
