Hello,

this is quite an interesting concept you have here. Though to be honest it often was confusing and I'm sure I didn't understand everything correctly. But than again that is probably a reason why I find this fic so interesting. I have usually a rough idea of how a story will unfold. But here I can't even guess, I have absolutely no idea...

I totally support authors who take their time to create an oc. Shiri, Kage and Hanzo are three very different and somewhat mysterious creatures. I like the way you portray them!

I'm looking forward to your next update!

I love this story, but it is confusing at times--lots of times. 

I am hoping that Mutnodjmet's summary is correct because that's my take on the story too.

A very nice engrossing and confusing story. It's very nicely written. I find it to be a little too wordy in describing an emotion or situation. It seems

like it is drawn out before one can understand what is actually happening or what is being said. Just my opinion and not flaming you.

I gather from what I have read, thus far, is that Kagome is traumatized from Inuyasha raping her and basically leaving her for dead. She doesn't

blame him because he lost control and I think went into heat but he did not know what he was doing.  Sesshomaru just happened to be in the

area and saved her by giving her some of his blood, which has now affected her emotionally, mentally and physically. 

I think he took her away from the village and Inuyasha to keep her safe, but also, realizes how powerful Kagome is and tries to extract a vow

from her effectively tying her life to him because he knows that she is the only being alive that can kill him. She gives him a vow, but not the one

he seeks from her. She vows not to ever go against him in any form, to which he accepts.  He finds the monk Hanzo to train her how to control

her powers which also benefits him. With all that has happened she is bound to him for eternity which I think he wanted in the first place but I

cannot figure out why...lol :)

Chapters 11 and 12 were confusing to some degree as to where, when, who and why she was attacked, but I guess that will be explained later.

Looking forward to more installments. Keep it going.

Excellent writing!!!

At least Shippo is safe and Sesshomaru is there for her...

Wonderful chapter!

Goddess Kagome wow, and Shiki as a minor goddess, didn’t see that one coming but I like it! Can’t wait to read more!!!!

wow that was out of the blue poor shippo and kagome having to bind him to her to save his life. with that combine power does that mean hes now more powerful? is he now older or something? i cant wait to read more and find out what happened to cause all of this O.o

I can’t wait to read more!!! I’m so excited for more! :)

Wonderful chapter! I cant wait for the next!

What?! Don't just leave me hanging like this. I need to know. 

I find your story intriguing & well written. It has truly captured my attention. Please finish it.

Kagome often is stereotypical, we know her as a good forgiving and kind person. In your fic she is different and you show new depths to her character! It's really astonishing! And the youkai traits and behaviour make sense and are like a full of fresh water. Not just sesshoumaru has a crazy beast inside that suddenly decided to take kagome! I like how you keep him in character, he is cold stoic and not talkative but knows how to listen!!

I myself am not a fan of confusing mistery fics since I am too impatient to wait for all the key elements and I always guess the plot even before it's told, but in your works this is not true! I actually struggle to guess what will happen! That doesn't mean I don't like it, it's the contrary! Only a talented author can unravel the mystery in a tasteful way. 

I must admit the plot is still confusing, but everyone has his hidden agenda. What I am sad is that kagome is a people person and she lost the closeness with her friends but it's logical after what she went through. Some don't even stand casual touch of family after such endeavours!

Thx for sharing this with us! I will take a look at your other fics, your writing style is amazing!

Wishing you good luck with everything!

Great story, keep it coming.

How God Created Mother

Good 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!

There are Angels
God put on this Earth
Who care for us and guide us.
You can feel their love and gentleness as they walk through life beside us.
They do great things for us every day they whisper in our ears, they even hold us in their hearts when we are filled with all our fears.
They are always there to give us a hug and try to make us smile.
They treat us with the respect and love, they treat us like their own child.
God blessed me with an Angel, I’m proud to call my own.
She’s been with me throughout my life, been with me as I’ve grown.
She’s guided me the best she can, she’s taught me like no other, and I’m thankful I’m the lucky one who get’s to call her
Mother

The confusion is character building. I expected depth from this piece and haven't been disappointed.

Nice work!

yanno i've been readign and been confused by this story so far more then any other you hve but this makes sense now. love it

I think that you really should have your grammar nazi have her way with this before you post - the last couple of chapters are not up to par with the beginning. It detracts from overall enjoyability of your work. There are gems hiding in muck. You need to wash it away and polish them to really let the fic shine.

Then, and oly then, would I be able to give you a truly honest opinion on your creation.

(I am only writing this review because I've had you on author alert for some timeand I wouldn't have done that if I didn't think your work wasn't worth reading - I truly found it enjoyable.)

pPoor Sango. The relationship between Sesshomaru and Kagome is a bit confusing but really interesting!

I can't waot for more

Like you said, there are so many things going on, I am a little bit confused. But a good confused.  I can't wait to see where you take us next.

Ahh, sometimes,  confusing elements in a fic add to its luster... So I will quite gladly await the next instalments to pry open this puzzle.
