thank you for the update! I've waited forever for this. I can't wait til she meets Koga and all others!! ^^ So excited~
I have two words for you for that opening section. “Too true.”
Being an anti-social person myself, I NEED my space. I do not NEED someone constantly by my side to feel happy. In fact, I go through days, if not a week(s) where I do not want to talk to anyone, to see anyone, and just have ‘me’ time. Like our dear Kagome here, some people know how to cope with their own company without going mad. I truly feel that happiness derives with accepting ourselves and being able to be content in our own company without needing others to define us.
It’s true humans are not solitary creatures, but nor are we ducks who flock together all the time. I feel for Kagome’s frustration towards loved ones who cannot understand the concept of ‘me’ time. Well, I call it ‘me time’. I need it; I crave it. Like always, this opening bit brings a pang to my chest. The feelings are so damn strong, even if I couldn’t relate to them, which I do in this case. To the majority of the world, THIS Kagome is a conundrum, an outcast, for reasons that should not exist.
Other times, I can be clingy as all get out. And possessive. However, I am not like Sota even in my bouts of clinginess. His close-minded views towards his sister are unnecessary and misplaced. If I was him and a friend or family member had asked me for space, I would say, “Okay. Just let me know when you want to chat again.” And that’s that. No hard feelings. Life goes on and friendly chats and visits will commence again in the future. To care for someone, you should be willing to take the time to actually understand them.
You hit on another major point. People butting into your life, trying to help or do a good dead when it is NOT necessary or wanted right then and there. Said good dead is nothing more than butting in, nothing more than a person (Sota, in this case) trying to get attention from another (Kagome, in this case) when she (Kagome) would rather be left alone for a while. Sota was not being kind. He was being pushy. Instead of respecting her need for privacy, he was attempting to shove HIS wants on her. Selfish. But then, humans are a selfish lot. Kagome is not the bad guy here and yet she is forced to feel that way, despite logic dictating otherwise.
How you are able to hit on so many touchy subjects and make them real and understandable in so few words and in such coherency, I dun know. You are truly a master when it comes to getting your point across in a logical way. Kagome seemed both emotional (annoyed, frustrated, perhaps baffled and sad that no one understands her need for space) yet detached all at the same time.
And like always, you end the opening segment very powerfully. It took my breath away. Marvelous!
Now, onto the rest of the chappie! How I ramble on…Your fault, author-san, not mine, for writing such captivating words chalk full of emotions!
That beginning paragraph after the starting sequence was stimulating! It totally banished my sorrow and ire for Kagome’s sake in her memory. How do you DO that?! You easily take ahold of my emotions and fling them from one end of the room to the other, and yet it doesn’t seem out of place, but right. And yet you catapult me into sorrow again in the next little parts, with Sesshomaru’s inward thoughts… Me heart! It can’t take the strain! Yes it can. Ignore that last part. My heart CAN take it!
Sesshomaru is afraid. Of caring too much, of the future, and ultimately, Kagome’s death. Since he is already thinking along these lines, it is already far, far too late for him. The endless cycle of love has pulled him in, as it does everyone else. He may be immune to many ailments that befall human, but a broken heart is not one of them. He knows it, so he fears it. How human of him. The way he reacts, it doesn’t surprise me that he once loved and lost someone. Poor guy…
I enjoyed Kagome’s POV after she left Sesshomaru. She wants more from him, to get past his defenses, but she is hesitant. Is it worth it? Is there enough time? She is only human and already past her twenties. And just because she might try to get past his guard, that doesn’t mean she will succeed. So I understand her dilemma. Is she wasting her time on this man/demon? Very mature questions, very reasonable. I love this about her characterization. She’s not this little girl stuck in Disney movies of happy endings and love concurring all BS.
Both of their characters are so realistic, it’s easy to relate to them, to understand them. It makes them more real in my mind.
In the end, I’m glad to see Kagome taking the chance to get to know him. Because she does want him. She knows what she wants and doesn’t hesitate to act when her mind is made up. If she were a leader, many would follow her for this trait alone.
Now that I have rambled on (though there are more things I loved about this update), I shall wait ever so patiently, but eagerly, for the next chapter!
OH MY GOD!! this story is coming together nicely! update soon!
