“How selfish will you be, Inuyasha? To make a man live when he has nothing to live for.”
That.....
That line killed my heart.
*moment of silence*
I've written a story (Masked Truth) where Kagome is 'killed' during battle, but her body is gone. Sesshomaru lived to her time and watches her grow up and finally...it was time for her to return to the feudal era for one last time. Of course, the ending was different where she appears in the modern era alive...but...what I'm trying to say is...that the angst and emotions are well captured in this one-shot. I love how you've made Kagome so loveable and precious to our Sesshomaru-sama.
My heart clenched so many times as I read through the journey Sesshomaru went to protect and look after Kagome while she grows up.
That final scene when he sees her jump through the well for the last time....was devastating for me! I, as a reader, felt my heart torn by this...because I felt like I was also on this journey with Sesshomaru and watching over this Kagome.
You've definitely done an amazing job with the flash backs. You were able to tell the story of the beginning and end...in one chapter.
I was so enchanted by the image and words you've written. Every word held so much meaning...
Thank you for writing such a lovely piece and I wish you luck on your other stories!
