OMFG I'M SOOOOO HAPPY WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN IN THIS CHAPTER DID NOT HAPPEN!!!!!!!! I was certain Shin’ichi would pass away in this chapter and Kagome would flee. I no way in FOOKIN HELL saw a battle between father and son occurring whatsoever! Sesshomaru has been so compliant to Taisho's demands that I seriously thought he would simply marry the mate chosen for him which would be the cause of Kagome fleeing the Western Providence. I am taken a back by Sesshomaru's reacton to defend Kagome from his own sire. It appears Shin’ichi's words resonated with him and he has finally decided to stand up for himself as well as his true mate. Taisho dared attack Kagome ... I am both surprised and not. Taisho made his intentions very clear to Sesshomaru - willingly to execute his very own flesh and blood for the sake of appearances and status. Taisho is capable of anything at this point. I'd no idea Shin’ichi did the very thing to Taisho's, that he is doing to Sesshomaru. It is a case of history repeating itself. In a way, it demonstrates Taisho in a different light. He too was a victim of the old ways and is simply following the very example his very own father set. Yareyare, such a disfunctional family, yet it is relatable to many current family predicaments. Children reflect what they are taught. It can stem into their adulthood. Very few rise above the bad behaviour or inaccurate, misguided teachings of their parents. Parents themselves make grave mistakes not realizing how it may possibly shape their offspring. I actually feel for both Taisho and Shin’ichi. The realization of what he had created came too late to Shin’ichi. Taisho is a product of what his own sire instilled within him. Sesshomaru is the one to break the mold or so we hope. What a sad fusion of events have come to light in this chapter, however they are refreshing. It clearly shows the reasons behind why Taisho behaves and thinks as he does. On a lighter note lololololol on Totosai's rude assed entrance ha ha ha! Now that Sesshomaru has his sword and has received, "idiot proof" instructions;  he can perhaps live a more normal life from here on out? (Yeah right... there's no normalcy for anyone in this tale. They are all walking disasters lol. Love it.) I appreciate your breakdown on your plans with the next installment of, Love is not Blind. Bravo! Bravisima!

It's certainly not a happy ending.  I enjoy your writing style and think you have really good plot ideas.  It is difficult at times to adjust to a much weaker Sesshoumaru (in some ways) and easy to dislike both of his parents who don't care at all whether he's ever happy or not (despite both of their own significant unhappiness with life).  With Kagome's backhistory, it's easier to adjust to her psychological issues and passiveness.  I don't disagree at all with what you're trying to do with your stories, but I don't think I was in the right mood to start this one or your other...  But, I do look forward to how you finish the story and appreciate your dedication to your writing.  I encourage you to consider self-publishing original work in the future.

Oh no please please please don't just stop there... The  cliff hanger you have left it in complete suspense. Tashio finally finding out the true relationship between them. Sess finally getting an idea that he cannot live to please his father. The danger you have left Kagome life will torture. 

Oh please please please don't let them split up! Make sesshomaru somehow get rid of that other woman so he can have kagome!  It's just not fair to them!  If it wasn't for that father of his! 

Sad? Oh no. :( I'm bracing myself then. I hope they get a somewhat happy ending at least! 

Kagome and Sesshomaru were as sizzling hot as always. Fantastic last lemon! At least they both got to be intimate one last time. He... knotted lololololol hahahahaha I swear these two and their drama are an absolute mess. One of the reasons I have grown so fond of this tale. I've been dreading this upcoming chapter, not because the tale must end but because I know my favourite character's life will. I have adored honourable Shin’ichi from the very beginning. I will miss his antics and am bracing myself for his final part in this magnificent tale. I realize this is a prequel to one of your other fics. I'll definitely commence to read it once this has been completed. #Team Ole mam for life...

I can't wait for the final chapter! Granted I'm probably gonna tear up, but there will be a continuation. Here's to hoping happiness comes to them eventually!

Great story as I've mentioned before. Not really looking forward to that sad ending, but I am looking forward to reading the sequel! I wonder if she will get pregnant? That would be an interesting twist, especially if she doesn't tell him and he finds out later, I'm curious to find out. (^_^)

Great as always, I can't wait to read the next and final chapter.  Also I will be waiting on the sequel for this fanfic series.  

Thnaks again for sharing.

She's Going to be PREGNANT!!!

I wonder what's going to happen next? (^_^) Looking forward to it!

Yareyare, what a pair of tortured souls these two are. Poor things cannot catch a bloody god forsaken break. One cannot help but feel sympathy for both Kagome and Sesshomaru. They are absolute walking disasters, which makes them all the more perfect for one another. I'm curious to see what explination Kagome will offer to Sesshomaru in regards to - the solution to their predicament. Will she also reveal to him that Shin’ichi is unwell? As always my questions are rhetorical. You always reveal all in time. I've no issues with awaiting your next updates. It is good to see you update as you have been, even though you've started school. 

Hahahaaaaa classic Shin’ichi trying to spear Totosai through the eye with a hot fire poker. I'm looking forward to their next encounter with one another when it is time to collect Sesshomaru's and Kagome's swords. Talk about a trip to the vet to get canine teeth pulled out bahahahahhaaa. On to more serious matters - uh oh Kagome's alpha has her all to himself in her quarters. 

Shin’ichi the Honourable, muh favourite old man and Totosai the blacksmith together - in one room lololololol. This should be a hoot. Oh I can't wait to read their interaction. They are both loons. 

Geez so Much Drama!

I swear,  the more I read the sadder I get. I feel so bad for those two.  It's not fair that they have to be apart! I wish there was a way he could get out of that marriage and be with kagome instead. 

I love that old man. I'm so glad he's been very active in these last chapters. I realize, Love is Blind is coming to an end soon and with it Shin’ichi's life. It's good to see him still cackling about, launching insults and reminding Kagome of a priceless chapter yours lol. May they find the sword smith and figure out a way to save Sesshomaru. If only there were a way to save Shin’ichi's life as well. *sigh* I know! I know! It is your story haha. I can't help I adore that old pain in the ass. 

I wish Sesshoumaru f***s off, he really is getting annoying.  With the I can't be it bout you stay by side, when the marriage is over we will still be close to one another, BS.  Hiw can he expect Kagome to go along with his ridiculous and belittling idea.  Jeez I wish Kagome left already and leave him in his supposed sorrows, yes supposed because if he truly loved and believed Kagome was his mate he would not let his family or society dictate who binds his life to.  Ugh so far this Miyako character sounds look a gold digging, manipulative slut, every chance she gets she is trying to be intimate with him with no dicretion.  

It would be nice to read that when the sword arrives and is presented to Sesshoumaru by Shin'ichi, that there is a note attached.  And said note states that Kagome has transfered University's and also has a job lined up in another country.  Where the transfer is not none.  She helped forged his weapon with a fang and left on her own, and doesn't plan on looking back, he is allowing the marriage to Miyako take place and Kagome doesn't want to be a mistress, strung along and also a home wrecker, even if he claims it will be marriage without love.  He will need an heir eventually and I'm sure it won't be Kagone who will provide them, if he already is bowing down to marriage why not sex with his so called not lover.

Great chapter! I'm looking forward to reading what happens next. (^_^)

Hell ya I Love it when totosai Pulls their teeth out so funny.
