7 hours and 46 minutes. thats how long it took me to read this. i loved it soooooooo much that i had to read it in one sitting....it is now 7:47 am and i must say that this was one of the best stories i have read in a long time. that was simply AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! although i cant even imagine having that many kids! well, now if u will excuse me....i am extremely tired......(staying up all night to read a fic will do that to u XD) night! i hope to read more of ur work in the near furture.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT I ADORE THE WORK MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was wicked awesome, the love, hate, betrayle, fear and the sadness. Just brillant. You are truly an awesome writer. If you ever write something else like this, Email me got that....that was wicked awesome. BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey i loved your fanfic!! it was freeken awsome!!1 but just one little thing how do they keep up with all their children! lol theres so many!!
:) great fic you should write more ;)

Very nicely done. I like the ending. However, I am glad I am not Kagome and been pregnant 100 times.

Wow this story rocks and I love how it ended. I've been reading it since the first day you posted it and I'm srry if I hadn't posted any reviews. Love it and wow talk about a lot of kids. LOL.

Yay!!! That was really funny! Lets hope Sesshy doesn't piss her off to badly anymore after that, even though it would be quite funny. I'm glad they know about their baby now too. All in all, a damn good update!!

woohoo you're back!! i missed having this story updated... update soon please

its really good pls finish it....i haven't read a fanfic these better for months now... congrats

i think this is a wonderful story, well-written and totally engaging! i have been following with great enjoyment and delight. i will continue to do so.

As one who has enjoyed this story from the beginning, I am glad to see that, regardless of the activity in your REAL life, you are committed to finishing it. There are few things more frustrating than reading a REALLY well-written story only to find that the author has lost interest and discontinued it.

Your story is quite imaginative and your style shows a great deal of promise, especially in that 'getting paid' realm that you hope to explore. I can completely understand your desire to polish this in one pass, THEN post it elsewhere. It would make the most sense, and I'm sure your other readers will be equally as understanding. I will, however, keep my eyes peeled for any updates!
:D
~~Wiccan~~

I love this story and I hope you continue

More, more, more

this is a good story. I do hope that you update again soom.

pls...update soon thanks.........

Thank you for updating and I can't wait for their reaction when they find out it is a full blooded pup.

the delay was worth it, excellent chapter update soon

WOW!!! I've been reading this fic for some time. I've never reviewed though I really like it, but I must say this is one of the best love making scenes I've ever read! Congratulations!

i only have three words to express my love of that chapter: OH MY GOD!!

The scene with Sango and Inuyasha was so funny!! I'm so glad that it's now Sango who can "sit" him!! So cute!! Thank you for having Sesshomaru be so gentle and caring with Kagome!! I think (hope) they're going to have a lot of fun together as mates!!!

This is a great story... I could of sworn i have reviewed this but i dont see any..
Oh well this story rocks... Keep up the good writing... Us readers love ya!!!
Well plz hurry and update i can't wait... LOL...
Take Care Mari

I'm happy for your nom and this chapter rocks.

So Inuyasha can't keep his mits off during Kagome's heat--that was pretty funny. Some guard he made. Sesshoumaru seems to have become quite the romantic to get the girl--very nice mating love scene.

*grabs broomstick, gets on chair and starts banging on the ceiling with the broom end*

HEY YOU CRAZY KIDS! KEEP IT DOWN UP THERE!

*mumbles* Inu youkai these days.... grumble.... mating like rabbit youkai.....

*giggles*

just kiddin!
Congrads on the nomination!
It was justified!

I love this story and I love the direction the story is going. I can't wait to read more.

Funny how characters have a tendency not to behave as you'd like them to? The best is when all you want to do is write a one-shot but the next thing you know, it bloats out into a multi-chapter nightmare. Mostly because your characters won't shut up and you keep getting ideas.

It's hard being a writer. And you do a very good job at it. Do keep up the good work.

Now they are both very clean, Kagome is in heat and clueless (?), Sesshoumaru is affected and guarding the door--just how important is it to wait until his palace is finished?

characters never behave as one wants them to it's the nature of the beast

hello ?!!!!! could you please update soon I love the story.

Oh boy that was a good chapter. I love the fluff and I can't wait for more. Anyway keep up the good work and update soon.
Sakura

Thank you so much for the fabulous update!! I'm glad that Kagome is more confident with Sesshomaru!! Now I can't wait for his fortress to be built so that he can truly be together with Kagome!! Please post again soon!! :)

hahaha and I thought Sesshomaru wouldn't resist :)

hahaha and I thought Sesshomaru wouldn't resist :)

woah.....how's sessy gonna resist her when she goes into heat??
I know!!! he won't be able to*hentai grin*
PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!!!!
wait so was your best friend kinda your muse for this last chapter??

I'm loving it!

good story

good story

good story

keep up the good work

hey by the way are you ever going to bring koga into the mix? it would add an interesting dynamic to the situation between kagome and sesshomaru

this is sad!!!!!!!!!!1 :( the first chapter

hopefully this keeps him honest enough... great update... can't wait to see what you think of next

LMAO That's pretty funny to know. Well that got you updating quickly eh? Anyway, Great chapter

yay, the lemons are comin,hah, the lemons are coming, yay!

Interesting! Please update soon.

-Dani.

SO will the pup be born in his {or her} true form??PUPPY!!!!
If it's full youkai does that mean it will be born before Sango and Ayame have theirs....being theirs will be 1/4, 1/2 demon respectively??
I thought Shippo would be heir??
or is this kid the next in line??

PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoyed reading this chapter and I am glad that it is finally coming along. I guess from here on now that things will get very interesting. Can't wait to read the next chapter.

u BUT!!! nO MOR CLIFFYS ever.!!!! Update soon.!!!

pressure i will give you pressure... i will hunt you down if you don't update soon... ask around i mean it

That was great and I can't wait for the next chapter.

I think the courtship has been well described. The selection of silks and scents was interesting and seemed like a good way for a male to influence his chosen female. I'm glad you didn't have them jump right into the sack. I don't believe Sesshoumaru would give up his prejudices that easily and Kagome holds her virtue in a vice-like grip. On with the grooming!

Hey.Just read your fanfic.I definitely like where its going.Am a huge Sesshoumaru-Kagome fan..lol.Hope you intend to pick up where you left off soon

i would like to say, awsome. but, i believe that -kun is for males, -chan more females, and -san i believe is for family members. so far, great story!!!!!
lost love.

Kagome is a much better person than I!! Even though she is over Inuyasha, I can't imagine how she could live with him and Sango!! She is such a good friend!! I can't imagine Sesshomaru will be too happy with the arrangement however!! Can't wait to find out!! Thanks for the update!!

This story is soooo good. I keep cackling at each new turn, each thing you find to put poor ol' sesh through.

this story is really starting to intrigue me... i might suggest however that you add a some more friction btw sessho and kags both are two dominate to give in easily to anything, i realize the whole retainer thing will do that... also maybe have sessho explain some of these courtship things, after all he is going to have to open up to her sometime

Update soon . And by soon I mean tommorow ? OK!!

Kagome can be quite calculating. Quite the match for Sesshoumaru. He won't know what hit him.

wow what a shock! anyway i was really started to get mad at how kags could subjugate sess it was kind of irritating reading this but i kept my loayal and kept reading to be pleased with this new thing abot kags new apperance and what it may imply and whats whith sess?

Oh, my..
You've certainly brought things to a focus. I can't wait to see how Kagome will fare under all the attention that will be focused on her now that her bearings in youkai society have come to light!!

Thank you so much for the updates!! This story is so much fun, I love that Kagome was able to "sit" Sesshomaru!! Will she still be able to do that now that she's youkai? Or would Sesshomaru kill her? Please update again soon!! I can't wait to see what will happen next!! Will Kagome accept Sesshomaru?

That is going to be very kinky.

I read this entire story in one sitting. I read the last sentence of the last chapter and was like, "YES!! Got to read the next one, got to read the next one..."

I have never searched so long for the freaking 'next chapter' button. This is a very good story! I really like it! Please update soon!

hm interesting very very interesting update soon

ROTFLOL!!!! I can't believe she SAT Sess and lived to tell about it!!

Bring it on! [grins] Sesshomaru eating crow is a mighty tasty picture! I can't wait to read what happens next -- this is going to get VERY interesting, I'm sure! Great job!

I absolutely LOVE this story. I am so glad I found it. I just can't wait util you update agian. After Sess being a major butt I am glad he is finally getting some of it back. Well great job and update soon.
Sakura

YAY!!! Kagome Kroft!!!! Are Sesshomaru and Kagome going to fall for eachother? I don't think I quite understood the bond thing, Sesshomaru is going to love Kagome? Or is he going to mate her so the bond doesn't make him miserable? You said his father loved Izayoi before the bond, but Sesshomaru didn't. However I love Kagome beign independant, it's OK to read FF were she is dependant and just follows Sesshomaru but I love it even better if she fights him (in a non physical way). Can't wait to read the next chap.

Update please! I love the flow of your story

Awesome chapter! Will we be seeing Shippou's reaction to all this?

I really like this story, and i cant wait to read more. update soon please!

I love that Ayame's as wild as Miroku!! Thank goodness he's finally met his match!! I was afraid that Ayame's grandfather might not accept him as her mate, but I'm glad he did!! Thanks for the update!! I can't wait now to find out what Sesshomaru is going to do with Kagome!! Please post again soon!!

i like this story i was with some trepidation that i first read it but i'm glad i did. i was surprised by the M/A paring it had never really crossed my mind that they would work together but with both of their sexual appetites i can see how it would work ;)

anyway, i look forward to reading the rest of the fic

~Dark

wow! awesome, plz update soon. any progress with sess and kag? sexual tension?

-dani

update soon!

Ooooo, I was just waiting for something like that to happen. Ah, the dangers of making life altering decisions during times of emotional upheaval. I just can't wait for Sesshomaru's reaction if Hotaku (the raven?) actually asks for Kagome. Something tells me it won't be good. Grin!

luv luv luv the chapter

I absolutely love this fic. I'm sad that Sango and Miroku didn't end up together but if they're happy then I have no real complants. Hokaido is really cold I hear. I hope Kagome doesn't catch a cold or anything like that and THANK YOU for KILLING Naraku off!!! They should throw a party soon since he's dead but also a party in honor of Kanna's heroic sacrifice. Kanna was awesome in this fic. Its sad that she had to die like that though. Since Naraku's dead does that mean Miroku's void is gone too? I hope so, for the sake of his future kids. Please update soon! I really love this fic.

good job, keep it going!

ch 10-Oh ma GOSH! Did Sessy just hint at what I think he hinted at?! Oooohhh somebody got a little crush!!
ch 11-*sobs* Poor Kanna! She was so brave and... and...SELFLESS!!! *sniffles* That was beautiful! Kanna saved them all...I'm so happy they burried her in a place of honor!!! She totally deserved it! Wow this is so...wow!
I wonder what will happen next time Kagura and Kouga see each other...
Thank you SO MUCH for updating! I can't wait to see what will happen next time! I wonder when we'll see Miroku again...

green eyes. I like and I agree. poor Kanna

Wonderful, i'm a little sad kanna had to die, but it was beautiful how you made her a hero. I think she deserves that too. I'll wait for the next chapter, but don't keep me long. Later!!

Listen it was not a crappy chapter. It's okay if not every single chapter is the jewel that you want it to be!

This story is really good and I for one am looking forward to seeing Sesshomaru get his come uppance!

(Ponders to self: What is the first thing Kagome is going to make Sessh do? Shivers in anticipation)

Keep up to good work! Can't wait for the next chapter!!!

Inu~Lover

Email me at dragonlady80906 @ yahoo.com with an update please

I'm glad about Sayuri's comment. I never thought she was InuYasha's to take from to begin with, and Sess has his comeuppance to deal with, regardless of how things turn out. I hope he learns a hard lesson.

Sometimes life can be a bitch we are all BOUND to something, so take care of you first, no flogging this week wink> and hang in there!

I understand, I take a long time to update too but when I do I pull out all the stops.

-Dani.

just try to update soon

No problem, can't wait for the next installment.
thanks
Erica

all right, there's nothing else i can say besides brilliant; in concept and execution! absolutely brilliant and a damned good story too!

In what capacities will Kagome serve?...[hentaish smile] paramour, retainer?

-Dani.

update soon!

good chapter update soon k.

ROTFLMAO----oh my gosh! That concubine scene was genius!!! I'm still giggling after that! Thanks for the update!

Lovely story. Just PLEASE let Kagome remain human!!! It would be soooo much more fun. Sesshy who claims to HATE humans and a human mate :-)

this waz rly good im so excited 2 find out wat happenz 2 sesshoumaru and kagome plz finish soon

This is so good! You have GOT to update!!!!

YEY! Kagome and Shippou got reunited! WOOHOOOOOOOO!!!
O.O Sess KISSED Kagome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O.O Miroku and Ayame mated!

Thanks SOOO much for updating!

This was a suprised filled chapter and I loved every minute of it. I like that you keep us guessing. I can't wait to read what happens next.

Well done Miroku and Ayame! I'm glad Shippou and Kagome are reunited and I can't waited to see the results of the kiss.

more please!

Cool. Hmm...so this mark could lead to a claim from Sesshy, interesting. And Kagome no longer has any feelings for Sesshoumaru, that is good.

-Dani.

update soon, plz.

Wow I never thought that the way you tie an obi had meaning! That's really neat how all the knots mean different things! Thanks for updating!

almost hit some fluff there

this is a really good story please finish it i really like it

what is Sessho up to?

I like this story so much! I hope you continue to update soon and I look forward to the next chapter. I usually don't send reviews unless I am desperate for a new chapter, so just know that you have a fan in me! :)

toootally sucked in! Update, update, update.

Very interesting story. Thanks for the two chapters. I am not sure if Sesshoumaru is a total butt or not. It makes sense that Naraku wa behind the attack against the West. And funny that he is afraid of Kanna. Sango and Inuyasha together has always made sense to me, although sad for Miroku at the moment. I'm glad he was scooped up by Ayame. I am looking forward to hearing about the party in Kagome's honor.

YEY!!! Kagome and Shippou are gonna be reunited!!! WHOO HOO!!! I'm SOOOO happies! Thankies for updating!

wow! this story is great! I can't wait for the next chapter!

I have read all 5 chapters so far and I am really enjoying this story. It has a different twist to it that makes it even more interesting. I can't wait to read more chapters.

interesting concept I am looking forward to seeing where you take the plot next.

your story is good so far, i really like it =) please continue to update

*claps* I really like this story. Please continue soon. ^^

I really like your story so far! Please write more soon!!!!

I just finished reading your first 4 chapters and I think that you are off to a great start for your first fanfic! You held my attention for all four chapters which is very important because you can make a person want to stop reading if the first chapter sucks. I can't wait to read more of this story. Until next chapter.

This is a first-time fic?!?
Very well written.
Interesting premise-one I haven't seen before... gives me ideas and makes me wish I could write!
Update soon! (and often) ^_^

Wow this is looking good, though i can;t help but dislike Sessy treatment of Kagome, but if he didn't it just wouldn't be him. Please update soon!

luv the story:)

HEy NICE STORY!! I start to like it more and more! YAY! I wonder what will happen next??? And why does Sesshoumary need Kagome?? HEHE, please update soon!!

this waz a rly good story omg i felt so sry 4 rin n jaken i wanted 2 cry plz finish im looking forward 2 readin more chppies

interesting stuff! Please, do continue! Nice plot, the story flows well along.

Uhhh... Vengeful Sesshoumru! What's in store for Kagome?
