Thank you for the review Ree-San!

Your guess was correct. Kagome still doesn't realise the dog is Sesshoumaru. She heard Shippou but she doesn't believe it because Sesshoumaru acts so differenty while in dog form. I will try to use the next chapter to clarify that point.

Thank you for reviewing chapter 1 of Breakpoint! I hope you enjoyed the rest of it and will enjoy what's yet to come

Thank you for the review. I took a week away from him because of this. Last night I made up my mind on something. So things will be done my way from now on. He doesn't interfere or tell his other friends what to do, so why me? I love him like a brother but he may be taking the brother thing to the extreme. But thank you for the encouragement, its much appreciated ^_^

Thanks for the review. I'm working on the next chapter right now. I'm also adding notes for chapter 3. MOM is coming along nicely, just not as quickly as I want.

Ree-san, Kagome did not speak of blaming Sesshomaru for anything. Dear reader, Kagome experienced the emotions of love that ran between Kura and Ryou. After hearing Kura had been killed...I think like any friend would...they would run to him/her to see if they are okay. She is not being disloyal by going to see a friend that is suffering. I feel that it would be almost cruel of her to ignore Ryou and cling to her loved one with joy that she has returned to his side.
And most of all...Sesshomaru understood her actions. That is why he let her go, don't you think so?
Your views are much appreciated. I am glad to see that the chapter has turned the wheels of your mind. I understand that not everyone will see eye to eye. What we prioritize first can sometimes hurt others by mistake, neh?

I have to admit I don't understand where you are coming from on this. Kagome has shown a lot of positive feelings towards Sesshoumaru. She has worried about the pain his father's plan with the swords was causing him. She has admitted that she loves him, and she has even admitted that she is impatient for the ending of her quest so that she could then come to him. She has agonized over the possibility that he will be pained at his father's loss all over again now that he realized what his sire was trying to teach him, and is no longer under the impression that the one being he ever really respected hadn't turned his back on him. She has spent a lot of time thinking about Sesshoumaru and everything he has been through. What more is it that you wish to see?

Thank you for your review on "The Hime Tradition". Your points are true, very true. I thought a lot of readers would feel frustrated over this development in the story. But the reason Kagome could only chose this choice to mate Inuyasha is because of her flaw. I did not wish for my characters to be perfect, but remain as realistic and human as possible. Kagome is stubborn. I think that makes things a bit more clearer...but you will see in the next chapter what happens. You won't be frustrated for too long.
Thank you once again Ree-san!

Thanks for your review on Deep end of the Ocean. I believe that Kagome while mourning is still trying to hold onto her memories and love for Inuyasha, which is slipping quickly. She feels conflicted with her feelings as well and is fighting them to some degree. She doesn't want to be controlled by Sesshomaru, and remember she isn't as aware of his complex demonic attributes as you may think. She has lived this whole time with Inuyasha in a human village with humans, and remember also she wasn't afraid of subduing inuyasha if he was out of line. The poor girl has a lot to learn.

Thank you so much for the reviews and for sticking with the story through its ups and downs until the very end.

You started reading in the middle of "The Hime Tradition"!? But you wouldn't get to see how they begun their friendship or relationship!
ANyways, I'm glad you liked the character development! I was really working hard to do that! Thanks for your views!
