That was just lovely. How terribly lonely it must be for both of them to exist in their own times and to be apart. You can only hope the best for them. Thanks for updating. 

If your intent was to bring your readers to tears, you certainly accomplished your goal. This is so early on in Sesshomaru’s very long existence. What will the lonely year’s ahead be like for him- torture it would seem.

Thank you for writing such lovely one shots & sharing them Chei.

I really enjoy reading your works. I love how you slowly develop the romance & story, how you spin even a simple plot & present them charmingly. 

Is it possible to expect a 2nd part to "A life for a life", please??

And is " Chei" pronunciation similar to "Rei" ?

Lovely slow burn to a wonderful end. My favorite way to finish. Thanks for the yummy update. Cheers!

Hello,

I'm positively surprised, that it is Kagome protecting Sesshoumaru! And even if the chapters 73 and 74 are one shots, in my eyes they fit perfectly together. It was Kagome before who was in need of some kind of "protection" and Sesshoumaru was there for here, and here it is the other way around! They compliment each other very well!

It was really nice reading how Sesshoumaru is admiring her strength, but what really impressed me was, that he was able to compare her so accurately to her former self. Not only her power, but also her looks and even her smile! So he was even studying her back then ;)

I love that it is Kagome who gained as the very first person his trust! It only shows again how well they compliment each other!!! Through her he is growing in strength and develops further as a person! And this message is really beautiful!!! Well done! And thanks for sharing!

Hello,

this work of yours is fantastic!!! I love all the feelings! It started melancholic went over confusion and ended with a show of affection! And everything within 906 words!

I fell in love with Sesshomaru all over again!!! So thank you :)

It was so sweet of him to turn his back, so that she will not be seen *sighs*, and for someone like Sesshoumaru taking off his boa thing and giving it to someone else is a BIG show of affection! He does care is his own way!

And he is protecting Kagome not only physically (not catching a cold) but also mentally. All her negative thoughts from the beginning are forgotten now :)

Well done!

I am so glad that you added another chapter. Can I beg for more...please. Lovely update. Thanks for making me smile...again. Cheers!

That was wonderful! I love that she has finally lived up to her potential and become a force to be reckoned with. Nothing less would gain his trust. Thanks so much!

Very nice. I think I would love his pelt. Thanks for the wonderful update. 

Sigh...more lovely fluff! You ROCK! 

Um....petition to make this a full story please.  I need this in my life!

Please, please, please flesh out “Even” into a full story!!! I need backstory details, and a happy conclusion!!!

This chapter looks so promising!

Plz do a continuation of chapter 72 please

Hello,

this is a wonderful piece! It's always nice to read storys where it is Sesshoumaru who is "falling in love" first! And while it is funny to imagine a grown man lurking in the shadows to see the face of his bride, it's also super romantic *sighs* :) Though I'm sure he prefers Kagome to a woman with a frog-face :P

You did as always a good job!!!

There is a request I would like to make. When you are not using basic terms like miko, youkai, kimono and stuff like that, could you please provide us with an translation? I for example don't know the term "Kagemi" and while I can imagine what it could mean in the context of the story, it would have been nice if you could have included the translation in an AN.

Outrageously unabashed fluff! Snatched him right out of that chair. I want to just sink into it and cover myself with it. Very nice. Whew! Thank you for that! Cheers! 

Hello,

I love the way you portray Sesshoumaru here!!! He has more sides than being just a cold and ruthless demon who has confidence in himself!

You're quite good at finding the balance between portraying different sites of his personality and at the same time you don't overdo it and make him too OOC! Here for example he is being somewhat controlled by his instincts and her scent and is not so confident in his abilities BUT at the same time he is very forward and straight to the point, like we know him!

So he is still the Sesshoumaru we know, it's just a special situation which brought another site of him to the front.

And that's something I love about you! :)

I'm looking forward to your next updates! (Although I have already read them on your tumblr the last week :P)

Yes! Got to love a guy who waits. Nice update. 

Is there a link I can copy to find the continuation of the previous story?  I would love to read more  

Hello,

the final battle with Naraku where Sesshoumaru was protecting Kagome is actually one of my favourite scenes! So I'm happy to see it here included :D

I love the ending of your one shot! Sesshoumaru is a type of man who shows only in subtle ways how he is feeling. And that he was actually waiting for her return says a lot! Even if he don't want to be seen as weak he for sure has a romantic side ;) 

A really nice one shot. I'm wishing this ending would be canon ...  Takahashi only needed to change the clothing and add magenta stripes ... no big deal ;)

AWK! I definitely need more! Looking forward to the next update!
