I loves it so far! I enjoy the intriguing beginning, and how the story has developed...Well, till that last chapter. Also feel sad over Miroku's death...Alas, it is another thread in the story you had wanted to weave together, before our eyes, with character we know and do not know. ^.^ I cannot wait to read more.

Poor Kagome hope she hasn't developed any serious feeling for Sess. Wonder how you'll get them together if Toron stands in the way. Or are you not going to?

nice story

Shadow, I re read the whole story. Just like you, I needn't to re-fresh my memory and I must say that I totally enjoyed it more the second time around. As I have said before and will say again, you deserve any and all awards given for your work. You are a fantastic action and adventure writer and you are tops in the sensual sex and romanance writing (ie, smut). Though you may not like writing such long fics, you do have the talent and imagination it takes to keep the readers interested. And as for "getting a life", I would consider this a part of your life...an extention of the imagination put into stories for the fulfillment of not only yourself but for others. Being a writer AND a good storyteller are a gift and a blessing, otherwise there would be no books for us to read and learn from (or for me, to escape my dreary life from). I look forward to ones like you who can actually write a story, make sense and hold my attention for more than a few chapters. I am proud of your deligence in completing a story and not just ending it it with loose ends or not finshing it at all. You are my hero, ShadowsWeaver1! I've said it in the past and I'll say it always...ROCK ON, my friend! Love ya...JEN

omg I HATE IT!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! I WANT MORE!!!!!!1 lol i feel dirty for liking kagome and the inupapa bein together! ur evil in ur writingness, lol and i think i love it

I get to the end and then BAM! No more chapters... I was so disappointed.... which means that this is a great story...

I get to the end and then BAM! No more chapters... I was so disappointed.... which means that this is a great story...

I am so in love with this fic. I really hope you up date soon. I can't wait to see Kagome's reaction when she finds out what Sesshoumaru is up to with the cat. I've also been dreading Sango finding out about Miroku. And Inuyasha and Kagura...well, I like it. I like that you have kept Inuyasha true to character, in that he doesn't brush Kagome to the side once Kikyo is dead. That he doesn't lash out at her in fury. He is her best friend, and she is his. He would never do such a thing. Thank you for keeping him noble and brave, all be it still rash and rude. Keep up the great work. I know you will.

I really hope you decide to continue this one, and soon! It's a really captivating and unique story, as all your stories tend to be. Where DO you get all ideas from? XD
I think it's truly a shame that you were forced to change the original plan of this story because of people complaining. If I had spotted this story (and read it too, of course), I would have advised you to post it on mediaminer instead. Just long enough for the plot to develop past the Toga part. I'm a Toga fan myself, and I think it's a shame their time was cut so short. In that short time, I have a little hard time believing they could form such a strong bond. But then again, now it will be easier for her to fall for Sesshoumaru instead. ;)
And I think I know the secret as to why you find this story hard to write now. There's a lack of lemony goodness at the moment, and such a sweet thing doesn't fit in right now, right? Sesshoumaru and Kagome aren't really close enough for that kind of activity, but hey, there are others who might have needs... Like certain birds..... ;) Tagwin's a fun character, by the way, but as a non-native english speaker, I find him a bit hard to understand at times.
Okay, I'm gonna stop blabbering now. Update soon, kthnxbai!

Please don not kill Toron, she's a good character. Please! Have learn the error of her ways, but please do not kill her.

Loved the chapter!
What?! Sesshy is mating Toron?! I actually started laughing when I read that 'cause I remember when so many people were upset in the begining of your fic 'cause Kagome and Toga slept together. I doubt anyone still questions if this is a Kags/Sesshy fic, but it was still funny thinking about it.
Anyways, I definitely look forward to the next chapter. Oh, and congratulation! I hope you win. Take care!

Im gonna go out on a limb here and hope that u kill off Toran! Shes a Bitch... And i don't like her... i know thats the plan... other than that i love both ur stories... post again soon

Chaos

signs of life! Thank you for starting the story again it really is a very good story! I am already starting to feel bad for Kagome because Sess is going to mate that damn cat how sad!

First off I just want to say that I am a fan of all the stories that you have written so far. Your very talented. But, of course, my main reason here is to ask if you will be updating this story. I absolutly love it. Ill admit that at first I was iffy bout kagome and sess's dad...but you put it together so well. I love it. Please say that you wont be quitting this story, and that you will update soon.

I, for one, am so so so glad to see you've returned to this story. It's been awhile and I'm a little rusty on some details. So this coming weekend I shall need to sit down and re-read from the beginning. I know one thing right now, though. Sesshoumaru needs to be hit up along side his head with a ten foot pole! How can he be so stupid! Through some protocol, tradition, or inu law, isn't Kagome already his "mate"? Since he's waiting til after the pup's born, she will be in better shape to challenge Toron, right?

P.S I know this doesn't matter but that was the longest review I have ever written. Shows how much I like this story :-)

I'm so happy you updated I've been sitting so far on the edge waiting for a new chapter. Now back to the matters at hand, this was a good chapter, getting the readers back in the fill of things but I gotta say I'm not to happy with Sesshoumaru and Toran (stupid cat):-( this is gonna really shake things up with the Kagome, not saying her and Sesshoumaru have something solid going already but still she has some feelings started for him. I know you won't let me down so I'm still looking forward to a happy ending ta~ta

I have spent the majority of my day today reading this fanfiction. And I must say, it was a day well-spent. I wish you the greatest in life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness (because I'm not sure one can ever attain it) and I hope you update soon!
Your avid reader and fan:
Inumaru_Rapture

Great chapter! This story was well missed by me, it was nice to see an update for it! Congratulations on all your nominations!

I liked it until your last chapter the thought of yet another story where Sesshomaru takes another to bed and hurts kagome makes me think no one wants to write a truly love story between them. Does Kagome always have to be betrayed and hurt? please rethink this.

Poor Kagome, she will be devastated when she finds out about Sesshomaru and Toron. I know you will make it all right in the end, but I can feel the suffering covered by fake smiles coming. Glad to see you update again and hope you can keep it going for a while. Thanks!

NOOOOOOOO
Sesshoumaru.... what are you doing?!?!?! :(

Omg... I dont know what to think right now... its too early still, i think. Oh poor Kagome and the baby.
But i have faith in you Shadow... you always throw a curve ball or... several in and make things turn around. Keeping me on my toes with your stories.
Seriously they drive me up the wall with anticipation for the next chapter i n every story you write. Its like an addiction. -sighs-
I'll be rolling around on withdraw waiting for the next chapters. lol

You can do it Shadow. I personally am very much looking forward to seeing the battle scenes and the birth!

Poor Seeshou, he sounds so much like Eeyore in this chapter. I was having fits imagining him talking about his tail falling off or his house blowing down. The poor puppy just doesn't have any manner of luck going his way.

Shadow,
I must say, I love your hentai muse. *bows down in reverence with awed little sparkles in her eyes*

I'm still hanging onto my patience waiting for an update. I know you're still working on your other story. I'm reading it, too, but I still keep coming back to this one.

oh please finish, please please please! i think this one is almost as good as tears! i'm loving it, and the hell with the toga haters

i really really like this story. im so interested in this i know you havent updated in a while and i really hope you havent stop writing this story. If you could pleaaaaasssse update.

ty
ja

i loved this chapter especially, i don't usually give a review untill the end, but i had to give one for this chapter. the bird demon(can't spell his name right) reminded me so much of JaJa Binks from star wars. and i just laughed at the way he talked. anyway keep up the good work!

I gave a long review on 11/17 for the last chapter, so this one will merely be a request to please spend some time on this story for more updates. I know you're working on Vying For Dominance but I have to admit that Sins is my favorite and continue to check daily for updates. This story is absolutely one of my most favorite stories I've read. You make the characters seem so real and I feel along with them. I've read many good stories but few have that something extra that tugs at your own "aura" to pull you into it. I don't know how else to explain the warm enjoyment I get from this story. So, please, update.

I never quite know if I love your stories, or think they are twisted....I still haven't made up my mind. However, you have gotten me significantly addicted to the way that you write, and the characters you portray. I read "Love...Has Nothing to Do With This" and now this story, and I must say that I just couldn't stop reading. No matter how strange things were at the time, and I think that shows promise. Anyway, I hope you will update soon and keep up with the great job. I love the way you portray Sesshoumaru. Kudos, Mujitsu

Last two chapters were great!
I'm so glad that you're back to writing your other fics. I love them all!

I love this story, but I was sad when I read that you had to cut parts with Toga out. I know he's not comming back, but I keep looking for him even after you've set everything up for Sesshoumaru.

I can sympathize and understand what went through Kouga's thoughts. A completely new future can be a scary prospect. Also, that's another thing that Kagome needs to know. That she's looked upon as being Sesshoumaru's mate even without the mark. It seems to me that Inuyasha is slowly maturing and I enjoy the interaction between him and Kagura. I've always liked her and too many stories don't deal fairly with her. I like how you're letting the reader experience her new emotions with her. I'm still not giving up hope that Sango will be paired with a warrior (hint - youkai?). Can't keep a fan from wishing.

Shadow
Thank you for the update. And even though this will be a long story, to those of us that love your stories, it will be one to remember with heartfelt joy, and pride in your writing. They fill our hearts in our need for great Sess/Kagome stories. One who appreciates your time and writng.

Alicia

As always, spectacular. You have literally been the highlight of my evenings since you returned. You haven't lost your touch one bit. And wow, wouldn't all of us women who have had to endure 9 mos. of pregnancy love the idea that it could happen in just two? Kagome needs to understand the excelerated rate of being an inu and a youkai on top of that. If her human dna has anything to do with the length of time she carries, then I would imagine it might take half the time a human carries. And I, too, like that InuYasha is a good guy here. I kind of hope that he and Kagura will get it on before the story ends as she does have Kikyou's heart and they do say that after organ transfer many people unknowingly pick up on the donors habits or feelings. Just a thought. I'll keep looking for more updates. I'm not able to be on as long as usual since the new med wipes me out but I won't miss my favorites for nothing...I just may be a little late. Gentle hugs and lots of love, JEN

That was a great update. Thank you so much for that. I am so glad that you have started back writing on this fic, I have missed it so much. I just love this story so much, it just makes my heart skip a beat every time I see a new update. Again I just would like to say THANK YOU for continuing with such a wonderful fic.
PS: I've been reading Temporal Twilight, and I have to say that I am LOVING IT.
Thanks again,

WOW! Wicked awesome story! Keep writing! Like UPDATE SOON! Very soon I can't stop thinking about what you've writtin already! mhmm WOW again WOAH dude that rocked! ^-^ So please heed my words and continue the process of writing chapters! BECAUSE YOU FREKIN ROCK! AND.... so does your story....YEP! >. LALALALA UPDATE!

Thanks
~Tore

I'm glad you picked this story back up and I see that you worked on Vying for Dominance. Thank you. I printed that one. As for Sins, I think I need to re-read to figure who the enemies are or I am confused. And, has it really only been two weeks since Kagome came back through the well pregnant? It seems like so much has happened.

I was glad to hear that your injury is much better. And I thank you on bended knee for your devotion to this beautiful epic. It is more than a story, it is an epic. And you are doing a wonderful job. I like that Sesshoumaru and Kagome are getting closer. He needs to tell Kagome that by bonding with the baby, he became it's father unless I misunderstood everything. I have faith that you will do an outstanding battle scene. You've not failed your readers yet. I hope Sango finds someone. From all the stories I've read, I've grown to like her almost as much as I do Kagome. And I don't always like her being paired with Miroku. She's a warrior and deserves a youkai as a mate.

dude, you were gone for way to long! it was like you up and deid on us! you need to finish the story before you can do that... greatest fanfic ever...

Another Great Chapter!!

This story is long, but it's so freakin' superb! It wouldn't be near as good if it were shorter, and I just know you will manage to make the war every bit as wonderful as the rest of the story. I know how it is though, to have a story stretch on much longer than you expected. It can certainly be daunting. But I have faith in you, and in your muses!

Much love!
~Hannah

Yeeesh that's one heck of an absence! What happened? It's literally been months! Well we all missed you. I as genuinely surprised to see an update for this fic on the main feed but you didn't disappoint. I liked this chapter a lot, especially the developing relationship between Kags and Sesshy. Keep up the good work. Battle scenes can get boring but I have faith in you. You'll pull it off no problem. Good luck!

- Langus

I cannot tell you how thrilled I was to see an update for this story; it's just amazing! You are doing a fantastic job and I can't wait to read more!

still love it, keep up the great work. update soon, please? you are a great author. i just looovvve this story,

Shadow,

Are you going to update on this story anytime soon? Would really love to read more. It's a really freat story.

Alicia(Miko53)

On your site for Halloween: Tales Of the Crypt you asked for votes as to which story to return to. I vote this one. It's older and farther into the story than Vying For Dominance. Plus, it seems that all the events in Sins are beginning to come together for a climactic ending. Vying is only 3 chapters so far. Don't get me wrong, I like Vying. It's titilating and I want it finished, too. But Sins should come first, please! I guess the main thing in the long run is that they both get finished.

ACK!!! noooo. so I was on fanfiction.net. and read your little (maybe not so little) author note thingy.. and ZOMG NOOOO!! I feel sooooooo bad for you..and your hand.. and on some level myself (and everyone else) who don't get anything new to read.. but thats just selfish of me and I deserve a slap on the wrist or something.. anywho, I hope your hand feels better (btw what kind of accident was it? if you don't mind me asking..) and there was something else I meant to add...uhm..I think thats it..OH WAIT. I'm not sure if I ever reviewed for TotF, and if I didn't I'm sorry about that.. I always forget.. 3* IT ROCKED MY SOCKS! just like SotF. I've faithfully checked everyday for an update. and to my disappointment nothing, but oh well I finally know where you disappeared to and such..gosh I'm glad I read all that. Okay, so long story short. great work, get better sooooooooon and I can't wait for an update! xD

WAAH!!! You haven't updated this story since June!!! Please update soon!!! I love this story!!!

dude! this si so awesome! post more! MORE! RAH!!!

Please!!!!!!!!! I'm begging on bended knee. Update or at least let us know why you can't. Not just this story but your other stories are being neglected. My fingers are getting tired checking the favorites list everyday and coming up empty.

An amazing story. You so have me hooked on searching for a pure Tog/InuDad / Kagome story... Cold shower time.

As for the movie 300 I nkow it's been awhile since it came out but I personally like the captain's son. Either him or Leonidas, I mean a man that can stand naked on the balcony and look soo.... guh.

I do quite like the interaction between Sesshy and Kagome.I'm only starting ch. 13 right now. I'll leave another review when I get a little further or when I finish.

Thank-you for writing this wonderful fic

Please, when are you going to return to this story? It's on my favorites list and I check it daily. Sorry for my impatience, but whenever I read a good story, I hate having to stop and wait for me. Update soon, please?

I love this story! it is one of my favorites on ss. i cant wait for an update!

Awww, come on. This is really good story and I'm waiting patiently for you to update a new chapter. ^_^. You are a great author, so keep up the good work.

come on! continue this already... please :)

*hint hint, pinch pinch* More, please! I hope to see more up soon! I know you have been working on other things, as well..but I'm dying for an update on this one! Please please please!

Omg I love Tagwin!! He kinda reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn from Looney Toons (in his speech pattern) but a so much better character! keep up the awesome work!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd DEFINITELY do Toga and Sessh! That is a fricken once in a lifetime thing to have gorgeousness on that scale!! I love the story, the people that were bitching over toga/kags can go rot!

Off I go to read more! wonderful job!

Ezzy

please update!! i really LOVE this fic! @:^)

please update!! i really LOVE this fic! @:^)

I have no complaints with the way your telling this story. I do admit, tho, you had me scared for a moment with Kag's mother before delivering the "punch line". That was wickedly good & a good lesson for Sess. Don't mess with the Higurashi women!

This is a very nice story but I think it could use a litle less detail.I think you are spending a little to much time on that.Also you could use more puncuation.
-ok, heres where the actual owner of this email address cuts in lol- Excellent story! toga and sesshomaru...kagome is too idiotically lucky. only to chapter 18, but i might have to break to see 300. In any case, just dont you break from writing.

what an amazing story!!! I love it so far. kagome is so lucky to have the oh so seductive sesshomaru sharing her bed. *happy hentai grin* anyways....please update asap. you are an amazing author. this story is truly one of the best sesshomaru/kagome fics out there.

Well, i had forgotten all that i had read of this story before, so i read it again, and it was just as great, if not better!
I'm glade you had miss H as she was, though i thought for a mintue that Maybe she was going to far with the whole, he has no right, thing, cause, if he had wanted to, he could have brought up the fact that since the well is in the western lands, and they live near the well, its actualy his land and house, if we are being technical...:P
I really love the fluffines! and i hope now sesshy will be more open and loving, since he knows she isn't mistaking him for someone else now.
Up-date again soon please!
TTFN!
joanne!
(and i had a beutiful baby GIRL three weeks ago! she has beutiful green eyes!)

awesome fic! -drops dead- too much reading... my eyes hurt! god i'm never pulling an all nighter to read from point a to point b ever again... -sighs-

okay well I want to say that you spelled pocky wrong lol. you know how otaku's are about their favorite treat is spelt lol.

I hope you update soon because I'm eager to find out what happens next! I loved the part where Kouga near had a cow in chapter 38 lol.

Okay well now i'm off for some well deserved sleep and some how figure out a way to make a puppy mute so I can sleep lol

Ja Ne!

Wonderful chapter. It was both humorous and touching. To bad Souta had to spoil the moment because I wanted to read how Sess would answer Kags' question about why he did not have any children. Will he ever admit to her what Kags' mother made him admit to about the child? Hmm...very interesting twist. I love it.

Brilliantly done...please update soon. :-)

This is one of the best chapters in the story. the fluffy-ness fits in perfectly with sesshomaru's charactrer and was sweet with out being sugary, it was perfect :] i cannot wait for more chapters!

Wow, that was a great chapter! I really enjoyed watching Mrs. H make Sesshy squirm, and it was so romantic how Sess took Kags up on Mt Fuji..and the fluffyness at the end made my skin tingle. lol. Keep it up :)

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!
I just finished chapter 11 and...
I feel like I'm going to cry!
Don't get me wrong, I love a good Sesshy/Kags Fic but...in this case I would like it better if this was a Touga/Kags Fic... T~T
Could you (if you have an account there) make a Touga/Kagome fic if you have time on fanfiction.net???
If you can, please do!!!
Well, I'm going to go back to the fic now and try to swallow the fact that it's a Sesshy/Kags fic not what i want it to be...
GREAT FIC!!!

Wow. That's one mom not to mess with. A good fluff chapter indeed. We need those every now and then. I always love the discussion on perspectives and powers too.

The fluff! So good! I truly can't get enough of Sesshy and Kags fluff. lol
And a whole chapter with them! So happy! But I hope that they don't leave to the past so quickly. I mean, he still has to tell her the truth. OMG, the truth! He's the daddy! Nearly fell out of my chair! lol
Dying to find out what's gonna happen next. Anyways, I look forward to reading the next chapter. Oh, and I totally love the way you made Kagome's mom. I just love everything about this fic!

Ahhh,Shadow, my dear friend. I so graciously thank you for this new installment. I was truly overwhelmed and totally ranting "Yeh, Mama, go!!!" This whole chapter was immensely fulfilling in every way there could be. No sex??? I honestly did not care. This was more meaningful than I can explain. I cannot begin to give you the praise that you deserve on this one chapter alone. I knew you were creating a really great chapter to make up for time away and this spoke volumes in your ability to pull us back in and keep us wanting more. I really approve of how you gave Miya a backbone and intellegence any good mother would have. She kicked his butt without lifting a finger and it was GOOD!!! I love your portrayal of these characters so much. You give them such a real feeling and believability, never really taking away from who they are in the series. Wow...You got to know...I've missed you...You made my night. My laptop is sick and that meant me sitting in a chair to read my daughter's computer...the pain was worth it my friend. You were my treat for my fanfic addiction tonight so now I will adjourn to my bed a happy girl. Love, hugs and kisses..until next time!!!! Jen

One of the best chapters yet! Truely you have the gift of story telling!

Ha Ha! I have already seen the beginning of the douishii! But I will not spoil it for anybody! So lovely that you updated! Love the dialog with Kagome's mom! Incredible....and now we know where she gets those mood swings!
Update SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope and I hope and I hope....btu no update.
*sighs*

I can't wait to see Sess's reaction to the modern world(at least I hope the well lets him through) With that said, you should know that I NEVER send reviews, but your stories, especially this one, are just so good that I have been forced to tell you a few things. First, your "Toga" in both story, has actually made like him. Before I would never though to look twice at the pairing, but you do it very well. Now, I have to agree that he is one of my fav character, besides sesshou & Kagome. Also I like that you didn't make Inuyasha the bad guy, and his new interest is very unexpected but still you make it work.
I know you got people unhappy by the Toga/Kagome pairing but I think its kinda genius(sp?) especially because it throws the inu-brothers and their reactions are/were priceless. Plus it give them a major obsticle to overcome so that in the end Kag&sesshou will not only deserve their happy ending but be a stronger closer couple in the end.
I hope you continue to write, because in total honesty I've become addicted to this story, and the distance between updates has become almost painful. (which would explain the review now that I think about it) But, I understand that you have spoiled your readers, so we'll just have to deal with it.{maybe there is a "patch" for fanfics?}
Keep up the good work!
Bluemorningstar

I was happy with the story without the change in direction brought on by cranky readers. That said I'm also very happy with the change - particularly Kagome and the boys father. I can't wait to see the outcome of her night of passion. I think I know but I'll read anyway.

I just discovered this story yesterday and read it completely thru. I'm 57 and have been an avid reader all my life. So I know talent when I read it. Girl, you have it. The characters not ony come alive for me but I feel them! For those who are troubled by the father/son thing, they're thinkingas modern day humans. This is a race of beings that follow the culture of the "pack". (I also watch a lot of animal documentaries.) Just follow your heart in your writings and you'll always succeed.

i really REALLY like this story!
i love that it actually make sense of the manga and movies too! like why kags could pull the sword out while the others couldn't -because she was togas mate! and why toga could love izayoi -because he had loved a ningin before, and why he loved ningin- because he loved one bofore!!!
see! you make sense of things that weren't sensible, though they may not be reaons in the manga, and i think romiko should make a different version of the manga, following your timeline! :-D
i hope you up-date soon! PLEASE!
TTFN!!!
joanne!

I don't really mind if you take longer in your updates. As long as you do still update, then I'm happy! XD

Work sucked today. And I have to work this weekend. So yeah, my life kinda sucks too. lol

But this chapter definitely made my day. So happy! It was just so funny! Kinda miss Kagome and Sesshy, so I'm looking forward to when they show up again. So yeah, I look forward to reading the next chapter.

Hey ShadowsWeaver1 my names Shyla and I was wondering if you have ever thought of just doing a Kagome ad Inutaisho pairing? The reson I ask is because I have only found one and it has never been completed. Just wondering e-mail me please :)

AHAHAHAHA! "Nuisance," that's funny!! So, Inu is thinking kindly toward Kagura, huh? And what a SHOCK for the wolf, eh? Well, better he should know now than the next time he swirls in and tries to make off with Kags, right? *snicker* I think that would push Sesshy's buttons worse than almost anything else right now!

Dear Shadow ... yes, you have a life outside fan fiction and I think we all know that. Some of us don't accept that as well as others, however. Especially when a holiday weekend comes up and we're all sitting here like good little leeches waiting to feed off the lifeblood of our favorite authors! Having SOMETHING from you, though, is FAR better than the alternative and I, for one, am very grateful to you for having tossed this out here for us!!

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!
;D

I was kinda hoping for a Sess/Kag update buuut I suppose this will do. Jeez you even had me checking every day. Good work as always. Hope you're enjoying your summer.

Great Chapter! I just knew a Kouga and InuYasha confrontation was coming. Those two can never just be civil without Kagome to keep them in check. And I'm thinking an InuYasha and Kagura pairing is looking pretty good. The banter between them alone would make it interesting. Oh and just so you know, yes you have spoiled me rotten with your frequent updates but honestly, my friend, I do tend to get worried when one of my favorite girls is gone too long. It's the mother in me I guess. Whether you update or not is of no real consequence when I really just need to know if YOU are ok. So, take a break, get some sun and fun. I'll always be here waiting until you get back. Love, hugs and Kisses...Jen

YES. An update. It was worth the wait. That was great. Kouga's shock over Kagome being pregnant and who the father was and the lover's spat comment were priceless.
Keep the great writing coming. Can't wait for your next update.

Yay! Im so happy to see a new chapter. :) I cant wait to find out what's going on with Kagome and Sesshomaru in the future....soon, I hope? LOL. Maybe I can wait...2 more chapters, but that's it! J/K. At any rate, I'm happy to be able to continue reading this story. It's absolutely one of my favorites!

Great chapter, I hope kgs and sessho are in the next one.

Good chapter...Does Sango know that Miroku is dead, yet? S'pose we will be fining that out very soon, ne?
Anyhow, update soon, I was starting to go into withdrawl.

A new chapter! YAY!
I really missed this fic, so I am very glad that you updated. Truly love this fic! Well, all your work really. XD
Anyways, can't wait for the next one.

Hi there! Bet you thought I'd stopped reading, huh? Nope, just a short hiatus for DRAMA and ANGST of the children variety.

Terrific chapter! Nice and looonnnggg ... it made a great read yesterday (Mother's Day) when I told everyone to leave me alone with my "box" (my computer). I loved the description of Tagwin's attack with the feather ... silly Inu!!

And what, pray tell, are the others scooting off getting themselves into? Something tells me that this is heating up beautifully (as your stories do, don't they?). Just the right amount of lead-in to the drama, than BOOM, you spring it on us. I can hardly wait!

Glad to see that you returned to this and appeased my curiosity with a chapter. I was beginning to think that the hentai muses had taken over completely!! Not that I'm complaining, mind you, but once you open these 'cans of worms,' in the form of stories, people tend to bug you to finish them, don't they?

Hope all is going well for you!
:D
~~Wiccan~~

Hello, my friend!!!! I have missed you. It just doesn't seem right not to have a chapter of one of your fics to feast upon nightly, though, I have gotten used to you taking some weekends off. I have been going through Shadow withdrawals and it's almost as bad as going without my pain meds. I'm just not a happy camper without your daily dose of Sess/Kag fanfiction. So, welcome back and this chapter is leading us up to Kagome going home with Sesshoumaru in tow. Oh, what interesting possiblities...and how is she going to explain all this to Mama? She's having Sesshoumaru and InuYasha's sibling and she mated and had sex with their father to experiment with the theory that it would make the well return them to their rightful time? Oh, brother! I'm so glad I'm not her. Oh and do I sense an InuYasha and Kagura pairing? Some people say that when they've had an organ donor transplant that they have taken on certain aspects or likes and dislikes of things...so, I was wondering??? And now we're adding Kouga to the growing mix of allies...poor Kagome. I hope she and Sesshoumaru get more than a day or two to get away in her time because their going to need it by the time all these rivals get together. Well, it's 4 am and though I usually stay up until 6am the chronic fatigue part of my disabilities is screaming for me to sleep. So, love that you're back, Shadow. I will sleep a happy girl because I got to read a special lengthy chapter written by you! Ta! Jen

i've missed you!! *glomp* in case i didn't say it before, you're one of my favorites.
oh, and thanks for the extra long chapie.
hmm. do i smell some intrigue and romance between Inuyasha and Kagura? *raises eyebrows* hn.

omg omg omg an update!!! awesome!! More Sesshy Kagome action!!! lol awesome job! can't wait for the next one!!

Well, I'm so glad to finally get to read an update. I, too, love this story. Hmmm...do I see a possible romance brewing between Yahsa & Kagura. The way you fleshed their characters out, it would seem that they would make a good couple.
Nicely done! Update soon,

Noooooo! LOL. I hope the next chapter will be featuring some Sess/Kag fluffy goodness in the future time...please? Man, Kagome's preggers with a kid 1000 years seperated from it's pa (1500 in her time, right?!), hangin with the biggest, baddest youkai in Japan AND going to war. Mrs. H is gonna blow a fuse. (I would!) Or maybe she'll -sort of- understand? She does seem to be pretty understanding at times....Update soon! PLEASE??? (I'll love you forever!)

I just started this, how in hell did I miss this one. I am on chapter one and it is hilarious! Sesshy as a totally spoilt bratty arrogant...oh wait, no difference there lol. No it is the voice of this work. I like it, flippant, amusing and promises delicious fun...just the way I like it.

I simply LOVE this story. And I've been waiting for an update for so long, you should have seen the way my eyes lit up when I saw that it had been updated!! I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

OMG! i wanna see what happens when sess goes to our time lol it's gunna be awsome :D update asap

UPDaTE UPdATE UPDATE! HURRY HURRY HURRY! PLEASE PLEaSE PLEASE!

Beautiful chappie, by the way. SO, how are you gonna get past the barrier of Kags being Touga's mate, not Sesshou's?

I'm gonna take a wiiiiild guess. This story is NOWHERE near done, correcto?

Email me back please! If you don't, I'll keep emailing you and reviewing about random things instead of the story!

Ok, maybe I wouldn't do that. O well.

I hate babies, and pregnant females in fics unless it's at the very, very end, like total, otherwise it's so hard not to give that char another vulnerability, despite their powers.

*Breathes heavily* I have been reading this fanfic for about 3-4 days now and I had FINALLY caught up with it. Damn I had to read too lol. This fanfic is really great! Now that I'm caught up I don't have to worry about being late anymore with your updates lol. Great job again. Peace.

-River

I LOVE THIS STORY!!!!! keep the chapters comming they are great!

You are AMAZING!!!

I can't wait for the next chapter.

awww man... so when does sessh break into realizing kag can be his... and why couldn't sessh bring miroku back from the dead with his sword... by bring him back in front of those stupid monks would help his cause, wouldn't it... just a thought... also on the part on sango trying to convince that village, should she explain about the house of moon being split in two and so the attack by the inu wouldn't be consider the attack to be from sessh side... just another thought.... oh well... good luck

Good chapter...I look forward to seeing Sesshoumaru in the future, that should provide some interesting scenes.

YAY! Tour! And Sess is canny enough to take all the advantages he can find.

well this sounds interesting Sesshoumaru going through the well with Kagome. But it still weirds me a bit...i mean to think what other surprises you have in store, but looking forward to it!,

So Sesshomaru is going home with Kagome. Hmmmm what could happen there?

still awesome.

I applaud your decision to keep Kagura...I have missed her presence in the manga. Sess going back with Kagome...That ought to be...neat. Good story, good chapter (though short). Update soon!

luv the chapters!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*squeals with glee* I don't think I've ever anticipated a journey of Sesshomaru to the future so much before! I can't wait to see what happens next! I wonder if Mrs. Higurashi will be opposed to letting Kagome and Sesshomaru share a bed? Although somehow I get the feeling that it won't really matter what mommy thinks....*hopes*

Yay, I'm so excited, I went to check single spark before I went to bed and your fic was updated! Good dreams for me!!

Yay, I'm so excited, I went to check single spark before I went to bed and your fic was updated! Good dreams for me!!

does inu even know what tact means? woohoo the gang is starting to come together... still can't believe you are leaving miroku dead.... i like him...

oh well not my story...

does this mean sango and tagwin are getting together ;)

AW! After this chapter, I think I kinda love Tagwin. *huggs Tagwin*

Loves it!

Tagwin=Love.

Ok, I'm gonna quit guessing at stuff altogether now. I'm lousy at it. Everyone but me guessed that she'd give the heart to Kagura - and *I* thought she'd try to revive Miroku. Duh! Ok, I'm a dork, I know it.

ANYway ... a most enlightening and entertaining chapter following the 'not-quite-laziest' battle scene in fan fiction!! Hmmm, Sesshy's getting a clue - THAT'S gonna piss him off for a few more chapters, isn't it?? *smirk*

Hope you got a good night's sleep and that your muse is well-rested. Obviously, we're all waiting to see how things play out from here - like when Inu wakes up??? *clips Dunkin' Donut coupons in anticipation* Donuts sound like the perfect accompaniment to the foaming-at-the-mouth, mad-dog fit Inu's gonna throw!
:)
~~Wiccan~~

That was damn funny.

first of all... Yay for updating so quickly... Its sooooo nice for you to do that... Second of all damn that sess for being such an ass... Tagwin didn't even do much this time... LOL... but its nice to see kags stick up for the friendship between tag and sess... will inu be waking up in the next chapter?? will kags find out that Inu no Taisho is no longer her baby's father but sess is soon??? im like itching to see what happens... Great chpater see ya at the next update

I love love love the newest chapter! The awesome fluffy-ness was wonderful. :)

Thanks to you and everybody featured in "Sins of the Father," I'm off to happy dreams, too!

Awe, you let Kagura live. How sweet! And I can just picture Sesshou with a braid and feather, haha! standing on the cliff...oh it's screaming to be drawn. Maybe someone will have the gall. =)

Keep up the fun work!

Awwwww!!!!!!!! Is'sa some good pokes at Sesssss! Looking forward to another update!

Oh yes I do agree with you, I just love these two old friends together. Am I to understand that the child is in part Sesshoumaru's child? Because I had a thought back when he first touched Kagome that in some odd way that the child would be his by way of him finishing the ritual that his father could not but knew his son could and would. See your update. JEN

*sigh*
that was a nice chapter...
so full of fluff and wisdom and more fluff...
it made me smile and wishing for more! keep writing please! -.-

GREAT CHAPTER. I am so in love with this story. Can't wait til sess sees the light. Update date soon please.

Chapter 35 was so sweet and heart warming. I liked it. :-)

Awww..... I loved this chapter! It made me laugh. Such a feel good chapter after the battle scene! I hope you write some more soon!

He he he! *eyes tearing* Tagwin is so funny *cackle*. That was just the icing on the cake, I like this chappie. Thanks for the great chappie! Can't wait till next you update.

ok i've officially decided that i think you should put Tagwin in every story that you write

awww don't make him wait til the second date ;)

update soon

Bye bye Kikyou! HAH! So Kagome is finally learning to make sacrifices.

YOUR BEST CHAPTER!! LOVED IT!

Definitely persistence in that eagle, but no tact at times. When 'Yasha awakens it should be interesting.

You're going to give Kikyo's heart to Kagura, are you not? That would be fitting. Although, Sess may think that now he has retrieved Yasha from Naraku and that he is going to hand over the protection of Kags to him...I think not! *LOL* Sess is not going to let Kags go not matter what...he's hooked. She and the baby is his now.

Great chapters. Well done, indeed :-)

Tagwin is currently the side-kick of choice for me!

for a lazy battle scene it wasn't as bad as some i've read... come on how many of us have actually experianced a hand to hand battle... or any kind of battle really... it makes it harder to write something you've never done... not impossible but hard nonetheless...


update soon

"Take her heart." This is when being a bitch is a good thing.

Yay take the wench's heart.... I think she's getting what she deserves.... I know i haven't reviewed in a while sorry about that laziness at its worth... I cant wait to see how sess acts towards kags now that inu is back to normal...

Ah, Shadow ... not THE laziest, not by a long shot ... I've read FAR worse! But a good chapter in the interests of moving the story along and, if you're going to do what I *think* you're going to do, it was necessary to set the scene.

As always, an enjoyable read - livened up my dinner-time reading (yes, I eat in front of my 'puter!)! I will eagerly await the next installment to see if my hunch was correct!!
;D
~~Wiccan~~

You know, I really liked this recent portrayal of Kagura. She and Tagwin would make a cute couple, I can see it now. I wonder if one could, possibly, bring her back to life, in some mysterious way, so they could make cute babies with a lift in theit step and a twang on their tounge.

I can only hope. Ahh..well. Was I the only one who actually sighed over, "Kagome lifted a tentative hand brushing it along the back of his in a silent request for him to hand the shard he held over to her."

Little moments like that mean so much more to me than a straight screw...'cuse my language.

OMG! I just read your author's note for whatever chapter I'm on right now. I just had to msg you to say that I totally knew Tagwin (shit i hope I spelled that right) was Gambit inspired! Honestly the whole time he was talking I just kept picture Gambit LOL! Gotta love that we grew up on X Men eh? Well...that's enough out of me...just thought I'd share. Great story by the way just like all the others.

- Cheers from a fellow Canadian

Kagura is getting Kikyou's heart, right? YAY! I like Kagura - MUCH more than Kikyou, anyway!

Heheh! I usually don't like a negative portrayal of Kikyou...but I think I would have to agree with Kagome in this instance. Take the bitch's heart! Nice chapter, update soon!

OMG I loveee your fanfictions!! LOL
You're doing such a GREAT job, keep it up, okay?? HEHE & I reallyyy appreciate it how you update SO often! Other authors take like... MONTHS! 33

I teared up when Sessh had to tell Kagome of Miroku's death and that not all can be brought back to life through Tenseiga. I thought she'd beat the tar out of him. The kiss...yeah like that was REALLY the only way he thought of to shut her up. He's a great strategist and warrior after all!!!We all know he WANTED to kiss her. And what's this crud he's going to let her go back with InuYasha when he gets him back? Is he an idiot? His father would come back just to kick that boy square in the britches for not keeping Kagome as the Lady she deserves to be and raising his pup to be a powerful and great Inu. You may not have liked the chapter but it's got what it takes to add to the building of a S/K relationship.

You don't like this chapter? Well I liked it. I thought it was very interesting to see more of sesshomaru's point of view. I also can't wait for more of this 'submission' stuff. ;) Oh no, my mind just took a trip to the gutter... *starts yelling* "Get back here!! We have homework to do!!"

Man, the chapter after a death is always hard... But you write Sesshoumaru and Kagome so well. It was a good chapter, Shadow.

This latest chapter was unique. And the whole Miroku being killed off was unique. Poor Hachi, making him cry out was so - I don't know - touching I suppose is the word.

Enjoying it lots! =)

i think at this point sessho would rather deal with naraku then his own confusion regarding kagome... so much simpler see evil hanyou kill hanyou... see annoying miko what the hell do i do with that? see what i mean?

update soon

Oh NOOOOOOOO......how can you kill Miroku? I feel so bad for Sango. She should deserve some happiness. Please bring him back!!! (who knows...tenseiga probably?!?)

i am very mad at u. y'd u pick miroku? he's my favorite 2nd to sesshoumaru. u should have killed... n e 1 BUT MIROKU!!!!!!!!

I hope you're expecting a lot of outrage from your reviewers.

HOW COULD YOU KILL MIROKU OF ALL PEOPLE?! HELLO!!! OF ALL PEOPLE, SANGO AND MIROKU DESERVE A HAPPY ENDING!! HELLO!!!!!!!!

Now your muses are going to kill Sango. (Please no.)

Your story is very captizating. Very well written and it has seemed to have drawn me in so far that I simply wish to read more and more. I'm also happy, though I understand when it can't be done, for the quick updates, since I'm constantly finding the story up again and again. Since that left me more time to read than review, I decided to take a little time to tell you just how much I adore this story. It's truly beautiful, and I hope you continue it until the very end.

Kiba

Could Hachi's call of lament be enough to call Sesshomaru to revive Miroku? I think if Ungai saw Sesshomaru reviving a HUMAN MONK that he would be more willing to join up.

Jerk. *sniffles*
Man, there better be a good memeorial for him *shakes fist at Shadow*. Update soon, please.

you are evil, mean, and just plain cruel, Keep it up

Sad for Miroku. :(

But if one should die for the greater good for all...so be it.

Well written. Update soon.

sniff, sniff, NOT Miroku!!! NO, kill off Kikyo, I don't like her much anyways. Miroku is so much fun. I love when he gets in subtle jabs at Inuyasha. Bring him back! [tosses childish tantrum on ground] bring him back! Who else will be the voice of reason?

NOOOOOOOO!!!! Not poor miroku! That chappie brought much tears to my eyes....*whimper* I never expected it to be miroku....... please update soon...*sniffle*.........Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'm so sad that I wanted to cry. Please, oh please tell us that Sesshoumaru will revive him. Somehow the priests, out of honor, put something, I don't know like a scroll, to save his soul so that Hachi can take his body for life can be returned to him. Please bring us a miracle.

What a sad chapter. Poor Miroku. And poor Sango when she finds out!
These last two chapters were great. They aren't updated on FanFic, (kinda wondering why) but that's why I'm reading it here and leaving a review here.
Anyways, I can't wait to read more.

It took me ALL DAY to read this but it was absolutely WORTH it. I too am a HUGE fan of Toga. He's absolutely amazing and the fact that he's Kagome's mate. Love it even moooore!!! You should totally just write a fic with them Mmhmm, that would be pretty awesome. Please update soon! ^.^

I actually liked how you killed off Miroku (okay, that sounded morbid) because like you mentioned, you thought you were going to kill of a minor character. And most of the time, minor characters are killed off, it's a refreshing change to have a major character killed off that isn't Kagome or Sesshomaru. So I liked how this chapter turned out. Oh, the drama that will ensue-it's making the fangirl in me giggle in happiness.

Short, sweet and to the point...It'll be hard losing the sweet, perverted monk but if that can get the other holy men to come to the aid of Sesshoumaru and Kagome then so be it. You have our prayers Miroku.

sessho will use tenseiga right? right? miroku doesn't stay dead right? i'm crying here it's not right... update soon

That was so sad, I sniffled my way through the pages.

I hope it's Kikyou. And I don't blame Sess for not wanting to fall into the same trap as his father. Her neediness is a bit much.

Good chapter (31). But, I was just wondering a 'what if' scenario...even though Toga & Kags created a spirit child, what if it was Sess' blood that is actually giving it life and he is the 'father of the child' by right of blood and it turns out to look and be like a mini Sess. What if Kags is still a 'virgin' so to speak because of the time shift or difference. I know is sounds crazy but then I have a strange imagination at times. *giggles* Oh well, just a thought :)

Well done:) Please update soon.

I can see Sess falling into that age old ride called denial but does he really have to ALWAYS be such an ass about it? I really dislike cussing but it's the only term I could think of that fits his actions totally. Of course I can understand he feels that she and the child can never be his but really that's egotisical. If he WANTS them as his and she wants him than they will be because it's the love that binds two people together. And as for the child, he would be the only father he's ever known so even that makes no just cause for his anger. Again, it's the love that counts and where your heart is when you raise that child.The only way that child would look at him differently is if he were to treat that child with distain like he does InuYasha. Some men [demons,whatever] are so full of themselves that they can't see how very blessed they actually are. Hmm, sorry, I got over involved again. Good chapter, Shadow.

Why is it I love everything you write? Hmmm...must be because you're awesome. I just started reading this fic after reading your A/N on Tears of the Fallen and I love it already. I really love how you portray Toga...and all those naysayers can go..well...you know. Anyhoo...just wanted to say good work so far and I look forward to reading the rest once.

YOU GO GIRL, Damn your good. Update soon. Oh and thanks for the chapter. See you soon!!

WHAT!!!! Sesshoumaru is being a stuck up jerk! Someone should smack him upside the head for the way he is now treating Kagome. Argh! If I was there I would do it, but I'm not.
Oh No. Someone is gonna die! Please don't be Tangwin or Shaeda.........I think that I spelt their names right. Anyways, the chappie was excellent, sessh aside. Can't wait till next you update.

Sesshoumaru is being an ass. No surprise, really.

someone smack that self righteous... i'm going to watch my language... update soon...

and smack some sense into sessho... he's being an idiot

Simply Awesome! This chappie was soooo cute. I was waiting to hear something about them for a while. I can't wait till you post the next chappie. he he

what a sweet chapter ending!

Now that was simply lovely! Politics suck, ne?

Ahhhh, so cute and fluffy. Glad to see some interaction between them.

That was an adorable ending for the chapter. :) I keep laughing every time "There's always the next time" keeps coming up. I'm glad Sesshy is finally starting to figure out just what Tagwin (did I spell it right? I'm not sure!) and Myoga are alluding to! Heheh.

Great chap. I can't wait for more. I do hope that it is soon. Keep up the great work.

WOW, that was a sweet chapter. Keep up the good work. You Rock

Ooooh, warm fluffiness!! Thanks for a particularly informative, engaging peek into the developing Sess/Kag relationship. Of course, we all know that something like what we're all thinking will occur will have to sneak up on Sesshy V-E-R-Y slowly, right? But watching it develop is oh-so-VERY FUN!

Thanks for the frequent updates as well. It helps that I don't have to go back two or three chapters to remember the story when an author updates somewhat regularly. I'm O-L-D, thus prone to forgetting things quite quickly! Not that it bothers me to re-read wonderful stories like yours, mind you!
:D
~~Wiccan~~

I would have prefered a more intimate way of giving her his blood but I guess she probably would have bulked at that all the way. I like how Kagome is slowly getting Seshoumaru to talk to her and answer her questions and even reveil some of himself to her. It seems as though he doesn't even know it happening until she giggles or someone walks in. Sorry I didn't review last chapter but I thought I'd give you a break from me and just rate you all 10's. Take care. JEN

Thank you for the update. Iam soooo loving this story. I wish that you can make a Inutashio and Kagome fic

AWESOME!!! i just love kags sess fluff at times... and that was just what the doctor ordered... I cant wait until she is able to feel the pup... I wonder what it'll be a boy or girl... i hope its a boy that would be so awesome... oh well see ya at the next update
later

::wipes tear::
now that was freakin awesome, mmhmmm, loved the chapter! you've made me happy happy tonight!! i really do love this story, it's got substance....something that really does touch my heart and when i find a word for it (if i ever), i'll let you know.
in the meantime, update soon!!
-hasu86

awww such cute fluff... update soon

You do realize you wrote "ASS" in your author's note, right? (laughing here!)

GOOD CHAPPIE!!! WAITING FOR THE ENXT CHAPPIE IN TEARS, *HINT HINT*

Thanks for the update. Can't wait for the next chapter. I'm soooo loving this fic, I think your awesome.

I just love how you are bringing all of the various "minor" characters into the story and the factions they lead.
Nice Job

poor miroku and sango... update soon

Hi Shadow I need to ask you something and I know I should not on a sess/kag website but could you mabye make a Toga and Kagome story on mediaminer.org or fanfiction.net please and thant you but now I must hide from the sess/kag fans. BYE!

I like the new chapter, it's good to know what the others are doing. I am especially looking forward to hearing what happens between Miroku and Ungai! Ungai would be a powerful foe for Sesshomaru, and in the anime he DID seem to want to understand why humans would 'hang' with youkai, so I am hoping he will be enlightened and join the fray for Sesshy! I am glad you thought to include him. It's nice to see fics mentioning other characters that were little mentioned in the series. :) Keep up the good work!
I hope your fic wins an award! ;) I voted for you in more than one category. Good luck!

I do enjoy your original characters, though--even if they have to go in completely different directions!

Update soon!

I must admit, I was some what confused about Tagwin's speech and his whole character but I'm beginning to like him, along with your other character Shaeda and Reiku.

I believe I see where this storyline is heading but dare not guess because you are so full of surprises.

Excellent story...please update soon

Aha! Good explanation of his voice, now. I hear mainly Jamaican, like that chick in Pirates of the Caribbean...but as a man. o_O You know what I mean. MUCH better than Jar-Jar *shudders*. It's much easier for me to appreciate Tagwin now. ^^

More good stuff! Loves it!

You are right, everyone is splitting up and going off in a different direction. I'm guessing Tagwin is talking about giving blood to Kagome (not too much or too little). And, I have to agree with other reviewers--I think Tagwin sounds like that creature in Star Wars. I cannot get it out of my head. Smooth does not enter into it. If you know someone with such a voice/accent, please record it and send the readers a site to go and listen, otherwise I stand in the Star Wars camp.

i've given up on spellchecker but then when you are routinely using words like tain bo culange and geraldus cambrensis it tends to have multiple heart attacks....

cute chapter i liked the back history update soon

Lol, I just couldn't resist. In answer to your question 'What would a story be without a few bumps in the road?' well, it would be regularly updated thats what!*ducks for cover* Naw, you know I'm just kidding. You're one of the most religious updaters out there.Much love, and bugging, Chaos.

You worry too much, girl. You're doing a fine job putting this all together. As long as you keep updating at this pace the reader doesn't get a chance to forget the story and become confused by the new additions of characters. I rather like how you give us alittle knowledge into the new characters while still keeping up with the plotline. I can also see how Tagwin's speech could be an exhausting job within itself but it's nice to know not everyone talks and sounds the same. I know it's a habit for us to use contractions in our speech but I've noticed and let it go because it seems nitpicky that the feudal era would not have the knowledge of using word contractions as Kagome does. InuYasha, Miroku, Sango and Shippo would pick up her way of speaking but Sesshoumaru and others wouldn't and look at her speech pattern as strange as her clothing. Did you ever give that a thought? Well, I never said this to anyone else but you cause I know you'd take it in stride but seeing as you are giving us such a treat to give Tagwin a real speech pattern and endearing him to us, I thought maybe you might like a thought like this. If I'm stepping out of bounds, my apologies but I truly love how you endear us to your fics and characters. Jen

I really love this story so far! I can't wait to read more...
I think it's a shame your rating is where it is, I really believe it should be higher. Shame on anyone who gave you a low rating for making the beginning about Kags and Inu no Taisho. It seemed a bit rushed, so I am assuming you had more plans for it before they were thwarted by angry readers.
I love how you explain everything so thoroughly. I have always been in the opinion that Inu no Taisho had something to do with the making of the well, since Inuyasha seems to have no problem traveling through it.
I enjoyed your other stories, as well. Keep up the awesome work!

Soo,.... Shaeda and Tagwin?

aww...i wish you hadn't cut Toga's time with Kagome so much...i bet your original version would have been much better. such a shame! But your story right now is still really good so keep it up!

Die by the hands of a naked miko. That's an...interesting way to die. I'm glad Sesshomaru lightened the situation, though. I wish Toga would come back...just one last time so Kagome could see him again.

awww.

Ack, it took me half a day to catch up with this fic! Enjoying the plot and the new characters--kinda freaked at Sess's mom, though. Ahh well, please continue!

I pictured Tagwin's voice as having a cajun accent. Maybe that's just cuz i'm from the south. Not that far just SC but i'm familiar with that accent. Got to say when i pictured kags telling sess about what happened that wasn't the reaction i was expecting from him. you got me there

Hope you had a good night off last night. I just felt maybe you wouldn't be checking in and I'm glad you took some down time for yourself. Hope all is well. Thanks for letting Kagome tell Sesshoumaru about the attempted rape.I just knew you'd do something to make it work to bring them closer. It is true you know, to see Kagome naked and having a fit that someone was peeping while she was bathing and then totally get ticked that they wanted to take her innocence for their own disgusting pleasure. She lived up to his new found knowledge of her. She's quite the spitfire when you push her and try to make her seem inferior. I was impressed that he actually laughed. Of course I'm sure she'll see the humor in it later but we only ever see him somewhat laugh with superiority. This was good and I enjoyed that he pulled her in the water too. She really seems to be having quite a good effect on him. Is this the meaning of what InuPapa was asking him when he said "do you have something to protect?" Did Toga know that Kagome would be entering Sesshoumaru's life and that he would be entrusted with her and the child? I mean he did create and travel the well and Sesshoumaru had been born when their bond was made. So, am I just speculately or could this be true?

I am in love with your story. My friend introduced me to it, and now I have become a big fan. Your plot is awesome, storyline is god, it keeps to the anime and manga just enogh to be legitimate, it also pulls the reader into the story. The best authors in the world are the ones that can make their readers enjoy the story almost a if they were there themselves. You are one of those authors. Keep us all laughing and keep up the god work. Also, please update soon! ^_^

good chapter... tagwin is a interesting character... although his accent makes for a slightly difficult read... oh well see ya at the next update... later

Love. Love. Love. Annnnd I loooove Tagwin. And I'm starting to see Sess/Kag. Good Job! Not a lot of authors can give slow, steady build-up to relationships.

ARG>>> every time he says I'sa or anything else ending in 'sa I think of Jar Jar Binks... Noe he'll always look like Jar Jar reguardless of the description : ( Just kidding. Another great chapter setting up for the future... Thanks

Honestly, I live in Redneckville. And I have never ONCE heard a southern drawl quite like that. But I love Tagwin! It's so... unexpected to see a character like Sesshomaru befriend someone so... eccentric? (Is that the word I'm looking for?) as Tagwin. But this IS the author of Tears, so I guess we should expect the unexpected, ne? Keep up the good work!

TAGWIN!!!*glomps* I’m so excited to finally see him. Oh, he turned out SO much better than I had hoped...that sounds like I thought he’d suck…eh you know that I meant he rocked this world! The bestest friend ever for Sesshomaru. *Laughs* I read your reviews and I just couldn’t hold it in for some. Scottish? Jar-jar binks? Oh my goodness people, haven’t you ever heard of a sexy southern drawl? One which makes you want to melt like butter in the noon day sun? Ah, well looks like tonight will be a wonderful discussion night, ne? Chow^^

luv the chapter!!!!

Waaah! Tagwin! Aside from Sesshomaru and Kagome, Tagwin is now one of my top favorite characters ever! I love it!

Was it Scottish? I read it in my mind as Scottish.

Eagle? I kept picturing a big overstuffed rooster. Eitherway, loved the newb! Keep it up.

Hey Shadow... woke up later tonight than usual but I came straight here looking for you. I rated each chapter separately and am reviewing only once. You must be glad at not having to hear my rambles more than once anyway, ne? That meeting was far from boring in my eyes. Kagome got her groove on in there and toally rocked the house!!! Fabulous!!! But I knew that there had to be a different traitor in the mists because you've been teaching me well. Ok, so I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes but what with being over 40 and taking the meds I do everyday I'm bound to have lost a few brain cells. I am just LOVING these new characters. They have a really unique quality about them and one would definitely NOT expect Sesshoumaru to have such a diversified household. I love Tagwin too. Such a sneaky and fun youkai. I would just love to fly on him anyday and Shaeda is amazing. You not only created a shapeshifter but one that can become the creature she turns into in every sense. See you tomorrow night and if not than the next. Jen

I still adore this fic, and I love the gradual evolution and revelation of Sesshoumaru's feelings for Kagome, but I have a question about Tagwin. I like his character, but he sounds like Jar-Jar Binks. At least that's what I hear in my head...sorry! Maybe if I know where he's supposed to be from, I can mentally form a more appropriate accent. As it stands, I'm waiting for Obi-Wan to blow his head off. Again...sorry! Wow...I'm a super bitch aren't I? And not the kind that would attract a devilishly hot dog demon...sigh...

Regardless, I'm going to read and immensely enjoy every new chapter!

I think Sesshoumaru DID see what was right in front of his eyes, just didn't see who had them XD

After all, it must have been absolutely distracting for the deprived lord~

Thanks for updating tonight, your generosity knows no bounds.

I loved Tagwin! Will he play matchmaker? Thanks for the new update and can't wait for the next chapter.

omg tagwin's accent is adorable... i can't help but picture him with a mop of red hari something out of bravehart mabye only you know... cleaner... (the only flaw with the hotties in that movie they all needed a bath even my drem guy stephen!)

update soon

Tagwin accent sounds like a crazy melding of Jar-Jar Binks and a Scotsman...^_~

heh, tagwin's a trip.

great update i still think you did a good job with the meeting!!

:giggles: i loved the whole i'm gonna strip if i don't get out of here part of the conversation... update soon please

And Kagome is down for the count!

HOW IN THE RUDDY HELL DID I MISS THIS STORY??!!!??!! ::smacks head against wall...repeatedly:: Anyway, I just had to tell you that I'm loving it. Thank you for writting it! ::grins::

- Sidhe

Yay! Kagome gets dizzy just like me when she stands up!!Lol, somehow I doubt thats the real reason.*sigh* one can always aspire to be more like a famous figure. Oh wel!! But goose, how could you end it there! That must be why I felt like strangling people all day, I knew there was a cliffie awaiting me! Oh well. But it was ingenious my dear, simply fabulous! Chow lioness^^

That was wonderful. Oh, I hope you do get to update again.

Well Kagome can certainly command a room. Feed the girl and please finish the chapter.

how romantic!!! sorry. i had to get that out. haha!i can just picture the scene! sighhh..i'm a sucker for fairytale scenes. it doesn't matter how cynical i get (i honestly think true love is a myth and is only seen in stories but nonetheless..), i still go "awwwww" at scenes like that.

*grins*

looking forward to your next update! though i have to ask. will there be much politics in future chapters? i hope not. i really dislike reading about the political scene *shudder*...gives me the willies! but if it really is extremely essential to the development of your story, i shall persevere!

luv the chapter!!!

uh oh!!! i think i just saw that stick slide out of sess's ass alittle bit.. LOL... is sess friend gonna be one of the those human hating youkais... that would be a shame... oh well see ya at the next update... later

a) This is an incredibly well-written piece. Add to that, it's -original- which all your tales are and most others here are not. Most are AU about Sesshoumaru being a rich doctor and Kagome a social worker or nurse, or hell, just having the usual Inuyasha gets it on with Kikyo and Kagome walks in plots. I love your stories each for their uniqueness and I hope you complete them -but I won't demand immediate updates, when you can is great.

As for everyone else making a big deal about this, lay off. This is her piece, not yours. If you don't like it, don't write your own stories that way and keep your comments to yourselves. Kagome as mentioned, is by this time eighteen years old which she is not in the manga or anime. Who knows how she would react, unless Takahashi fabraicated a manga about it? No one. So do not dare claim that you know so and so character because you watched a cartoon show.

Also, I happen to prefer the Toga x Kagome pairing to any others in this particular fandom. ShadowsWeaver, if you were ever to write a fiction of solely Toga and Kagome, please post it on fanfiction.net or a site of the like and email me the link. :D

And the sex.. was hot. :D Made me wish I was Kagome.

Ah, well on our way to bringing the two together, ne? And such a fitting way too. I always love it when Sesshoumaru gets the surprise of a lifetime when he sees her as a female and not a human. It always does come down to the baser instincts of male and female attraction at some point in time. I'm just waiting for you to put in some other little twist and leave us panting for more[and I don't mean sex either!!!]. It seems just as I think I know what's coming next you anticipate the thoughts and turn a whole new mindblowing event on me. But then again...that is why you have your name such as it is, ne? Love the new characters. Nice to know Sesshoumaru isn't a total loner and there are some who can put up with his arrogant attitude. I still can't wait to see Kagome kick butt, preferably SessMom, so her ashes are but dust in the wind. Yeah, can't seem to get that one out of my head. Have a good day and I'll be here again tomorrow night. Where else would I go? There are only a handful of you that I truly adore.

Dang, what happened to your ratings? Well, I still love your story and look foward to all updates. I can't wait to see how they get the shards fom Inuyasha. I may have misread it... was the horse demon someone Sess "loved" or just someone he cared for as a mother type? She was the general's mate so I am assuming it is the latter. Thanks again for the quick updates....

I love you. You updated! :D I need to read more! I spend all day checking up on the site to look for your story to see if you've posted! Please hurry!

Love it!

loves love loves

don't you hate it when a plan backfires on you? update soon i can't wait for more

She certainly needs better clothing. Her stubborn blindness in that category is just immature. However, her being in a full Kimono is something that I doubt she could even be blackmailed into on a regular basis. And get some training girl!

YEY DRESS UP TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kags is gonna hate him!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS STORY AND AM WAITING IN ANTICIPATION FOR THE NEXT UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dun dun dun! Yay! Kagome's gonna dress pretty! well until the next chapter...

I never worry too much when it comes to your fics. You always deliver great stories with or without lemons. I'm really liking the drama that's building. I think that this is the most Sesshoumaru has spoken to anyone at one given time. And Shippo is a prince....yeah, baby boy is going to be a ruler some day...So, I'll be back tomorrow night for some more of the action. Have a good night, my friend.

please write more about sesshoumaru and kagome. i really like the story.

Wow--way to plan for war! As far as Kagome being conniving, well perhaps she just needs a spanking.

i forsee a fight over kimonos in upcoming chapters!! update soon

How can Seeshoumaru possibly understand Kagome if she doesn't tell him what he needs to know to give her the necessary support for her and the child? I understand her views and all. He's Sesshoumaru for gosh sakes but he has come forth and accepted what his great father left to him to care for and she needs to stand proud and tell him. She fought valiently and she overcome those that fought to rape and kill her with great strength. She shouldn't feel weak because that frightened her. She wouldn't be human if that experience didn't scare the crud out of her. She has no fear to argue back with him but can't tell him it was just that she was almost killed by youkai and she and Toga managed to kill them. It's a matter of pride I guess. No matter what she says to Sesshoumaru he will look at her with a raised eyebrow and think her weak so I think she needs to just gather herself together after the bath and let him know what going on so they can help each other for the child's sake. Great work and I'll be up all night if you're updating again. Just promise me a really good batch of lemonade will come before this ends, ok??? You know you're hooked on writing hentai now, so just go ahead and promise.... Jen

Hey ShadowsWeaver1 okay I've read your story and its great its like a good book I can't put down lol well anyways the only problem for me is understanding when there thinking to themselves but don't change it its great keep up the good work oh and this is the very first review I've put up on this site and I've been coming here for a really long time now maybe a year so congrats your my first review anyways I look foward to the next chapters
Always
Angel B.

you know if you keep making this story so interesting i'm never going to get my homework done... oh well can't win them all update soon

Hey you made another Great chapter! :)

Hey you made another Great chapter! :)

The characters Need a lot of soul searching. Emotional maturity seems to be what comes last. I hope he learns not to scoff at her fears, but that is asking a lot of any male. heh.

its so nice to see kags grow a backbone you have no idea... and its about time she has some power of kikyo instead of the other way around... Go Kags... I hope kik gets what coming to here... later

Thanks again! And here's to Kag's growing maturity (though she'll always leap to conclusions I swear) and Sess independence! To Life!

you are a creative person and therefore problems just come naturally

update soon

Poor Kagura. She has it so bad for Sesshoumaru. Very productive meeting, good strategy planning.

OMG, I love you. I have been reading this fanfiction every day and I just cannot wait for more and more! Thanks for your dedication and good work, this is a great fic!

Are you serious, Shadow, you are off for tonight? Awww and I thought I'd get more to read later. Well hope you spend the rest of the night having fun. I liked the way you brought Kagura into this. She is Sesshoumaru's informent in the series so it was good to bring her into this too. It's going to be fun to see a new character or characters. I'm really curious to see how they're going to get the shards out of InuYasha.

Ok, before I get to the a-little-harsh-but-not-too-much-I-hope constructive criticism, let me say, I adore your stories and am PATIENTLY *cough not* waiting for Tears of the Fallen to UPDATE.

I think you overuse the word "bitch". No offense or anything.

And, well, I just don't see any Sess/Kag developing. At all. I mean, maybe it's cause I think I actually skipped a chapter, but, still. I'm not saying I'm all that, but I've read several fics that are so far like yours, but in the end, the authors don't really do the actual pairing. I am SOOO not saying that you're going to do that, I'm just worried. REALLY worried.

Last comment, even though I know this is fanFICTION, but um, isn't Sesshoumaru's mom not reallly good or bad?

Ja!

You're pretty quick! Loves it though. Keep 'er comin'.

I had a bizarre thought the other day. With Sess helping her with her 'first encounter', wouldn't it be strange if there was not one pup but two? One his father's and one his? What would they be to each other? My twin brother(sister)/uncle(aunt)/nephew(niece)? Now That's a situation that would blow the mind's of any genealogist! HAH!

Yeah! You updated I'm a Happy Camper now!

so you just created a million and one way to have sessho get his arm back.. update soon i love this story

Another great chapter from Shadow. I keep thinking of the Bear in the Big Blue House when I read your stories. "Where oh where oh where is Shadow? Where could Shadow be?" Well you said you wanted a story with more Toga. How long where they stranded a day?

Aw, Sesshou got his arm back. And his mother is such a meanie! Gosh. Keep up the good work. ^_^

Ok so now you're toying with me. Leave a cliffhanger that's sooo frustrating and say goodnight only to put up another chapter right after I send you a good berating note about leaving us hanging. What are you doing home on a Friday night anyway? Well ,now, if Naraku didn't know it was InuPapa's child, he does now! I don't think I'd leave Kagome with her friends for too long. Poor girl does have an awful knack for attracting trouble. I still want to see Kagome kick SessMom's butt. Purify her so that she is just dust in the wind and it's a one way trip to hell. Sorry if that sounds so mean but she deserves it for teaming up with Naraku against her own son and dishonoring the House of InuTaishou. So...are you really going to bed this time or what? Cause you know I'm up all night long and I always appreciate your updates. Jen

You brat!!!! You evil snickering little brat!!! You left it right at the best part!!! No, really, I love ya Shadow. You know I adore you. Such an excellent chapter. Where do you get your twisted little ploys from? As I said before and I'll say it again, Shadowsweaver1, you live up to your name!!!!! Now let Kagome kick butt [ and get laid afterwards, a womans got to have her victory sex.] Let those hormones run wild, baby!!! Sex and pregnancy are such fun. Women thrive when their pregnant. Yes, the mad, wild, passionate monkey dance woman is on the prowl again. Hey, my daughter isn't helping any. She wrote the victory sex part.

OH MY GOSH I LOVE YOUR STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT RULEZ

great job!...and you are evil! Thanks for the update!

yes you are very very evil... i cant believe you would just end it like that... I do hope you update soon... like today would be awesome!!!

Did you make Inutashio seal some of his life force/spirit into Kag??
so that during the right circumstances his spirit will take form and help her??
your muses have enough evil genious to come up with that twist!!!
SO what happens??
I DYING TO KNOW!!!!!
please update soon and I love love LOVE THIS STORY!!!!!!!

Ok, last week, I figured you were on the edge. Now I know you've gone full tilt OVER it!! You, my dear, are courting the flames, aren't you (cliffies??)? *smirk* And, obviously, loving every minute of it!

That's ok, I think you're allowed, since this story has developed into quite the convoluted little drama. I liked the byplay between InuTaisho and Kagome, but the interaction between Sesshoumaru and Kagome is even better. With Sesshy's mom making her appearance now, things ARE going to heat up, aren't they?

I, for one, am looking forward to finding out how Sesshy's mom found out about Kagome in the first place (Naraku?). As well as finding out whether or not she's actually allied herself with that slime mold ... the next few chapters promise lots of INTERESTING tidbits, eh?

Kudos on the story to this point - you've got ME hooked! And thanks for all the entertaining reading thus far ... I look forward to more!
:D
~~Wiccan~~

damn you...you are evil, indeed!!! Please update soon. Please please pretty please...

You are aware this is kagsess, right?

That was evil, but wonderful at the same time. If that makes any sense. I can't wait to find out what it is. My three guesses are Toga, Toga's or Sess' inu form, or the child.

*looks at ratings* wow, people sure are butt holes! I mean come on, its just a little creativity. Why do people get worked so worked up over stories that are different, especially when they complain and whine whine whine when stories are too predictable? Gah, I detest hypocrites. *is warming up taser* I swear this thing is just crying out for pain. Well, I do believe that I’m off to work on my story a bit. Doesn’t that make you excited?

I think this is going great. You can't push too far for me.

This story has more twists and turns and surprises. I love it. :)

Great Job :)

This story has more twists and turns and surprises. I love it. :)

Great Job :)

Great chapter as usual... im surprised at the fact that sess's mother has teamed up with naraku... i think she should end up on top "no pun intended" when it comes to the conflict between them.. she should become the main antagonist in this story... you dont see alot of her in stories right now although she is making more and more appearances... oh well... i cant wait for the update... later

Ah, the evil muse! I must say I am fond of your little side kick!
I really find reading your fic is very enjoyable to read. Let me see, I've have been reading these fic's for some time now and you either get the same story but a different title or an author decides to get the balls to push the buttons of eveyone and writes an original story. I'm for the original story! We all sit here and waste our time reading these stories and it is RARE when one that is really worth reading comes along.
I find it ironic that you've had over 2,000 votes but your ratings are an 8.76. You pull the reader in but then because you are different they think a low rating will make you stop. The ratings mean shit. You pull the readers in and they keep coming back for more even if its to bitch. You must be writting something pretty good!
Keep pumping out those chapters, I know I will be back to see what the evil muse has come up with!

I love your dark and evil muses.

Yes, Yes, YES!!!!! You go Girl!!!! I'm so proud of you! Push those buttons my friend. This fic is going in the exact direction I hoped you'd take it. Really, I couldn't be happier. I truly love a writer that goes against the tide and creates her own path. That's why fanfic is here, right? To be an outlet for your creative mind? To entertain and give readers NEW avenues to explore with the characters they so love? At least you are still keeping the characters true to who we know them to be . I bow to you, Shadowsweaver1, you are and always will be my hero!!! Hugs and kisses for a totally wonderful storyline. Jen

Don't worry about going too far. Either your readers will stick with you or bail. I've done both to authors but keep in mind that just because I do or don't agree with something in the story it's personal to the reader and has no reflection on the author. Your story's good and keep it up.

I love your stories, Shadow. I love the way you incorporate all the little things to make your ideas interesting. Even if you do just write what you think should happen at that time. ;3

I don't think you went too far...

His mother must REALLY cover her scent well to hide Naraku in it. (gags) I don't blame Kagome. I would have advised them to seek out Kikyou for the remaining shards, gone home and sealed the well. Any remnant of youkai society left had better appreciate her pup....now if only she won't do anything stupid in regards to InuYasha....right!

ew. Naraku. I see Miroku is being the thick one in 'Yasha's absence. And her friends gossip too much. And to hell with youkai society!

I thought the Naraku and Mesudoku part was disturbing, but in a most delightful way, if that makes sense. I think that it was a vital part of the story in order to show how power hungry Mesudoku is. I think that you are doing a great job with this story. I love the direction it is going in! Keep up the good work!!

i've read further then you did with sessho's mother and naraku so frankly i don't think you did so bad...

great update this realtionship btw kags and sessho is getting more and more interesting as things progress update soon

I can't say that Sessmom would EVER allow that to happen. She's very.................yes........

Mesudoku is a brilliant name for her thought. It just SOUNDS cool.

i don't know any japanese other then the words you commonly come across in fanfics so you have one up on me... personally i think the name sounds pretty so it works... update soon

I gotta say, I can't let myself believe Sesshou's mum would allow herself to be used like that... but it's your story so you can make the characters do whatever you like. ^_^ Otherwise, I find this verily entertaining.

good

Ewww...I hate Naraku. It's an intriguing chapter. I can't wait to read more. Please update soon.

OMG!!! I knew it!!! I knew Mesudoku was Sesshomaru's mom!! When you said she was shunned by her son I guess Sesshomaru's mom!!! Also...Aww I cant believe Sesshomaru said that Kagome cant be the childs mother in the laws of youkai. Saddness overrides my joy...






Update soon!!

i stand corrected. your email may have persuaded me to continue reading this story but this chapter is the one that puts this fic in my favourites. imagine i went from feeling turned-off, to acceptance, then to loving it.

tells you what a great job you've done! this chapter was awesome!10 for everything!

Purely magical!!! You take such an easy thing as a pregnancy and make it something so beautiful and totally magical. I really, truly enjoyed this last chapter almost as much as I enjoyed the union of Toga and Kagome. Are you thinking on bringing the Lady of the West into this fic? I'd love to see Kagome kick butt!!! If she can hurt Sesshoumaru without even knowing it, just think of what a pregnant, hormonal Miko can do to SessMom!!! Rock on, Shadow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an awesome chapter!!! I loved it. Please please please update again soon.

awesome awesome awesome!!! That chapter was so great ive read it 3 times... please update soon im like dying here... i cant wait for the next twist you throw in there... like is sess the "father" now that he bonded with the baby... how is inu gonna take to the news... you gotta update soon you just gotta

I love it when a character is protective of children/pups/the young.

Sess really did impress me this chapter. His instinct to protect, his perception into her character, his refusal to harm an expectant female, and his disregard (for the moment) of species and past for duty. Nice.

I LOVED IT! That was great, wonderful, exciting, amazing. I could go on and on, but you get the point. I can't wait to find out what happens next. Does this mean that the child will see him as his/her father? Will it receive some of his traits, qualities, strengths, weaknesses, powers? So many possibilities, so many hypothesis, I can only wait to find out if my guesses are correct or not. Keep up the great work and please update soon.

That most certainly WAS interesting! It's very comforting to see that Sesshoumaru is going to help take care of Kagome at this point. Of course, we all know it can't be just as easy as that, right? Teehee, Great writing once again! Thank you for the hard work and I eagerly await more.

That was certainly interesting, as you put it. Where the heck did you come up with that end ordeal? Not bad though, the whole pregnancy ordeals can be really strange.

Kudos.

That was certainly interesting, as you put it. Where the heck did you come up with that end ordeal? Not bad though, the whole pregnancy ordeals can be really strange.

Kudos.

I love the concept. So if I understand correctly, the pup now considers Kagome its mother and Sess its father? I trust that you will be able to untwist the tangles of this tale with the superb ability we've already seen... so please don't take the naysayers words to heart.

OMG is chapter was so good. I cant wait for the next one.

Wow. Interesting. I hope you'll explain what just happened. And give his arm back. heh.

hmm you know eventually you are going to have to explain all of this straight out right? i'm infering things that i'm not sure are supposed to be infered... update soon

I FREAKING KNEW IT!!!!!!!!

*cough* Ahem...ah, yes, I observed the clues you had so duely placed in your prose, and yes, the cogs were turning. Another fabulous chapter! I can't get enough of this fic.

I love this story I was holding back on reading it I read 2 fast for my own good but just as I thought its so cool plz update soon I cant wait to find out how sesshy will act as a half brother and a father to kagome and togas baby *big grin* I thin I like toga now 2 :)

I LOVED IT!!!!!! Please update more

::Snorts and laughs uncontrollably:: Haa haa haa.> This is just... awesome.. I have such a twisted sense of humor....

Wow...That's gunna be awkward!

I love awkwardness. This is just getting better and better!

ok. no offense but i have to say this.

kagome is going to be with sesshomaru. and kagome is going to have toga's child which also means he or she will be sesshomaru's sibling. i can't tell you how wrong all this is beginning to sound. no offense but i was thinking maybe you should clarify this part the next chapter because in a way it feels kinda incestuous. kinda. i'm really not putting this very well am i? nonetheless, i hope you get my gist.

i'm really sorry to say i'm quite averse to that whole concept. so i hope you don't take offense when i say if the story is gonna progress like that, i would like to know so i can stop/continue reading it.

i really really hope i'm not putting you off. i just wanted to well, know. because i really liked this story but yeah. i love all your stories in fact. i think i've read all actually and i think you write beautifully and have really well-developed plots.

that goes to say for this story as well. so i reiterate, please don't get offended by some remarks above. i really don't mean any harm by it.

Oh! That just SUCKS! Try to build a gate and end up with the residuals of construction.
Okay, oh Queen of Cliffies, on with the story, eh? Do not delay, haste is needed!

*Takes deep breath* Oh wow I was shocked Kagome's pregnant WITH Sesshomaru's SIBLING wow I cant wait to see where this story goes wow wow wow update soon thanks.

I didn't think it possible, but I might actually love this story more than "Tears of the Fallen". It was a shaky love affair at first, but I've cheated on that story with this one. I think I might marry this story and have tiny little stories with it. Good work.

AHHH!!! How could you just leave it at that.... Im guessing since sess said the mating was complete kags is gonna have a full blood demon child... Ha Ha you were right to say this is the worst day of sess's life... to find out your gonna have another brother or sister by the girl who is suppose to be your brother's wench... LOL... poor sess... PlLEASE PLEASE UPDATE SOOON... bye

I would so faint at a time like that or I would permantly freeze in place. hah you know this is now getting way interesting cause kagome being from the future and all would think about wearing protection and all.

I love your story, but this has to be the most confusing part of it that I have seen. She is basically carrying Sess' and Inuyasha's sibling and by normal standards, she is their step-parent, this is almost like a Jerry Springer shows. Especially when it's time for Sess and Kagome to be together. I only wonder if you are planning something weird like while she is pregnant for the two to completely join and the sibling is turned to son/daughter. Only your wonderful imagination will clear up a lot the confusion and mistery. I hope you update soon.

YES!!!!I knew you'd do that!!! She may have had to leave Toga behing but now she'll have a part of him to always remind her of what they shared. Hey Sesshoumaru, Daddy really dealt you a good hand this time. And by youkai law she and the child/pup are his responsibility??? YES!!! He'd best do a better job watching over this sibling than he did with InuYasha. And speaking of our dear deranged hanyou, is he still alive? See... I care what happens to poor Inu Chan. He's really getting the dirty end of the stick here, ne? I mean not being able to control himself? Does he retain the knowledge of his actions when he's all pyscho? Yeah, I know, how irrelevent. This isn't all about InuYasha. But I was just curious. So, great work. I was very satisfied with this confrontational outcome. I bow to you, my yound friend. A very productive day of writing and I got another thing I wanted to see...Kags pregnant with InuPapa's pup. Magical I tell you. Just Magical!!!! Being a more superior being than Sesshoumaru would put the icing on the cake. Youkai and Miko bred children being a more superior lifeforce. Hey, I can dream can't I? Hint, hint!!! Even Sesshoumaru and Kagome's children would be like T/K's child if they mate the same way. Hint, hint. TTFN Jen

HA! I knew it!
"That meant that everything that had been his sire’s was now his. The miko included."
YAY I was right! I cant wait to see what happens in the next few chapters. But I definatly didnt see kagome getting pregnant. I thought it was a possiblity but I didnt think you would write it in. XD But i love it so far ^^

I hope (if I read that right) that it's a full Inu and a female! Those two need sister. heh. Thank you for the incredibly fast update.

best chapter ever...i totally knew that was gonna happen with the insight you gave on toga's feelings toward the mating. great job! and i cant wait for the next chapter

Oh my gosh. I knew it was bound to happen sometime, but I never thought Sango would be the one to point it out. Oh my gosh. I...I...I have to read the next chapter. Post!

holy shit! and i mean holy shit!! i'm quite speechless right now. though i had my suspicions, to actually read it, woah, that's a whole different story! dear kami, this is insaaaannnneee!! but i frigg'in LOVE it with a passion! mmhmmm, you can say i'm obsessed even! haha, kami but this is too crazy. can't wait to read more (and thanks a bunch for updating twice in one day!) so continue soon!!
-hasu86

I LOVE IT And what's this...Sesshoumaru wants her to submit to him?

How? Does he bite her neck until she stops her aggressive actions? Or what?

And by Kagome belonging to him and being the Lady of the Western Lands [derivative from her time with Toga] what hoes that entail.

Status of Sesshoumaru's mate by exemption or what?

UPDATE SOON!

-Dani.!

I'm sad to say that I have mixed feelings on this fanfic. Don't get me wrong, the writing is incredible as always and your skill at telling a story and captivating your audience is amazing. I think what holds me back from enjoying this fanfic as I did with your other stories, specifically "My Experiment" and "Tears of the Fallen" is that I cannot in any way determine how you can make this a plausible Sess/Kag fic after what has transpired.

This is not the first fanfic posted on this site where an alternate pairing occurred before the Sess/Kag pairing, namely "As Death Gives Life" by Rinseternalsoul and "Cereal Box Romance" by Rhiannonofthe Moon (although that pairing was a only brief, cringe-worthy lemon we've all sadly experienced at one time or another to some degree). However, those were pairings with non-familial males. I think what makes this pairing so awkward for me is knowing that Toga is Sesshoumaru's father, and Kagome's pregnancy would result in Sesshoumaru's younger half-brother. For the life of me, I cannot see how after all this has unfolded, a credible Sess/Kag pairing can occur without some feelings of incest (although not technically incest in it of itself), especially if the two become intimate with one another. Maybe this is just me being a straight-laced American female, but the idea of mating the father and bearing his child, and then getting it on with his son and your child's half-brother is rather disconcerting. (Although admittedly, I am dying to see Inuyasha's reaction to the whole fiasco.) Don't get me wrong, however, I'm not judging you or this fanfic; it just doesn't make sense to me yet as your other fanfics did.

It's for this reason alone that I will keep reading. I am highly curious as to what twist you will come up with to make this story realistic, or as realistic as any fanfic can be. I'm wondering as to what you have up your sleeve, and that's what makes this fanfic arresting.

I truly wish people were more patient and allowed you to further explore the Toga/Kagome pairing because I believe it is because of them that the story had to be rushed with Kagome sleeping with Toga after one day, which is not how you had portrayed her in the story. The rationale does make sense, but it still seems a little off. I really wish we could have read what the original version was to be; otherwise, I don't think I would be as conflicted about this fanfic as I am.

Keep up your amazing writing. You have an incredible imagination, and are truly gifted with a way to translate your ideas into words that can enthrall and mesmerize your audience. It is because of that gift that you will always have me reading and wondering just exactly what will happen next. And regardless of what I've written above, this is your fanfic, and your ideas. It's not my place pr anyone else's to try and read your mind or determine ahead of time what path you will take with this fanfic. So if you decided to say screw off to us all who aren't 100% sold on your ideas...

...you go Shadow. Well done.

*dances around singing horribly off-key* I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!
because of the joining does that mean the kid will be born in his true form??PUPPY!!!CUTE!!!

PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!!
Wait what's Kag gonna tell her mom!?!?!?
At least we know Toga really cared/cares for Kag....
I can hardly wait for Kags reaction when she finds out who is gonna take care of her/is now her alpha....

By not even his fags are implying that Sesshoumaru's father had like man-whores [mistresses is fem. I did not mean to be so harsh...]

-Dani.

just a passing curiosity

OMG Pregnant!!! HOLLY CRAP!! please update soon!!!

Seeing as we kept somehow managing to miss each other, I decided to write you a review! Its been a while and I think you need it because of all the crud that has gone your way lately!*kicks trouble makers into a box and lobs box into a river. Dusts off hands* Now that that is taken care of, on to my review! Once again I am awed by your ability to update three times in one day. You are so dedicated, especially in comparison to me had all day to finish her chores and didn’t. Oops? AND, not only were you totally on top of things, you somehow managed to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro!( did I spell that right?...0.o…we could always ask Lord-sama!). Boy, I especially loved Sesshomaru, how you managed to convey his character perfectly while still wrapping him in your plot enough to make him more real than most. Not many people do that correctly*cough won’t mention our acronyms cough* with out killing their story.

I am most satisfied*snort* with these chapters^^. Oh, but I didn’t like…uh…oh wait that’s right! I loved everything! Of course, I am quite biased….but who cares! One more ! for the road then and I’ll be off to bed. Darn blasted school! The slightly sleep crazed( how does sleep craziness work? No idea. Maybe too much sleep or not enough or a combination of the two with the added screw-e-ness of drugs…ZZzzZZzzZZzzzz…..

*mumbles*chow^^*drool* ~Chaos

O_o Soo, Kagome now holds within her the half-sibling of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha??

Fricking.. AWESOME!

Update soon man or I'll combust into a pile of fecal matter from all the excitement! ^_^

And he'll add a nice migraine to his collection when she starts shrieking over various situations she does not at present realize exist...heh.

another great chapter shadow keep up the great work

I'm so sad that Kagome had to leave Toga. I've become quite attached to his character. In fact, I'm actually a fan of the pairing. In any case, I know that this is a SessxKag fic, so I eagerly await new developments in their relationship. And Inuyasha! Oh my, how could I forget about him? What will he think?

hmm. i thought the mating mark wouldn't be there when kagome returned. after all, toga died then isn't it? and i've seriously no idea how you are gonna make kagome become from toga's mate to sesshomaru's mate. and i honestly can say i didn't expect kagome to mate with toga if she was to becomes sesshomaru's mate.

however, while i'm slightly uncomfortable with the whole father-son implications, i'm damn well intrigued enough to continue reading on^^

i must confess that i'm majorly curious how sesshomaru is gonna replace his father's mating mark on kagome. hmm.

i'd like to have kags actually explain how everything happened to sess in the next ch keep up the good work

You're doing just fine as always, Shadow. The meeting and confrontation had to happen and I think they did well...he didn't kill her anyway.Oh, hey, I told you it wouldn't be long before someone was writing a Kagome/InuPapa fic, right? Well, I found my first one since you started this. It's on MM.org and was posted as a challenge. I told you that you shouldn't let the naysayers get to you and make you change your original storyline. This gal is getting good reviews so far. I think maybe it's just that you are writing this here on ASS and the fans are finicky. Maybe you should also put this there too. Mediminer doesn't have categories for specific pairings, so, who knows? Anyway I just thought I'd tell you so you know others do like the pairing too. And you know, for one who constantly knocks herself for writing plotless stuff, it makes good reading to me. I can't wait for the whole explaination to come out and how they're going to get InuYasha back from his litttle tirade as a mindless youkai. I also wanted to tell you that if you try and quit your obcession with writing S/K fics I'll go stir crazy. I totally look forward to seeing one of you fics updated nightly and when you don't I tend to wonder if you're ok. I know you have a life but it was you who spoiled me with your frequent updates and new stories that keep me in my happy little hentai world. So I'll be looking forward to tomorrow.

Hmmm...I wonder how Toga's mating of Kags will affect Sess. He made a statement about 'having to take care of another one of his father's transgressions.' Obviously Sess knows of the mating, could it also mean that she is pregnant? Now that sounds like a 'Jerry Springer' moment. "I had to marry my father's wife because she was pregnant with my brother who is also going to be raised as my son"

Now that is weird *giggles & grins*
What do you think? Wild or not?

Anyway, update soon. Great story even it is slightly wacko. Love it.
Well Done :)

great new Chapter !!

It's getting interesting...new plot twist coming up it feels like. And I LOVE the Inu Taisho/Kags pairing. I agree, who wouldn't want pops and the son(s)? Keep having fun with this; I know I have been enjoying it!

I can completely identify with your obsession. While mine is reading not writing fan fics... it is a sicknedd just the same : ( Thanks for another great chapter.

Oh, and you might want to check the spelling on the first 2-3 paragraphs. One spelling error is rather disturbing/amusing to look at.

If you're certifiable I swear I'll hide your medicine. heh. Thanks for the update and I hope Kagome is as cooperative as she usually is as he dictates her life to her. (evil grin)

ANother good chapter! I already miss Toga....

I am sooo glad you found the movie "a good story", my young friend!!! And this authoress that was so stressed at writing lemons!!! I do believe that you are just as hentai as I am, ne? I'm sooo proud!!!! If you see what you like and can fantisize it then you can write it and girlfriend you CAN write it. I re-read the lemon scene again and when you first started into it I thought that maybe you might rush through it and when it picked up it's delicious pace, it totally rocked....for me anyway. I just really like the thought of Kagome getting her groove on with Toga. And your name for him will always be his name in all fics I read. You just made him come "alive" and this pairing is just such a different spin on the usual that I'm totally into it. Always stay true to yourself and your storylines from now on. Your fics are just a pure pleasure to get invovled in and this last chapter was just wonderful. I only wish she could have stayed with Toga longer and I did pick up from before that Toga in the time they trapped themselves in saw them and noticed it was himself that killed the panther. Am I correct or confused. You do have the abilitiy to confuse the heck out of me and I'm sure that's another quirk that goes with your pen name,but I'm trying real hard to pick up on the sublties you so love to put into your fics. Glad you enjoyed your hard body movie.

Oh sweet PROPHETS I adored this chapter! I'd write a more thorough review but I'm sick! And yes, 300 is a smorgasbord of rippling man-candy!!! Best movie ever!

OMG!! DO U LIKE TORTURING ME! DO U! IUPDATE NOW! -points finger emphaticlly-

This story, like your others is well written and highly enjoyable. I must say, also, your's are the first author's notes I have ever really gotten a kick out of.

He must be good if she didnt want to leave. But damn I hope Sango and shippou and the others are not dead. I pray there not dead.

Muahaha, I am going to put this in every review when the authoress talks about the movie 300

ALL 300 SPARTANS IN REAL LIFE WERE G-A-Y!

WOO! (Tis true)

Anyway, I really feel bad for this story. It's ratings should be higher, but all these closed minded people just dont understand your obsession with Touga or the complexity of a plotline like this. As long as the final pairing is Sess/Kag, I say: More Touga goodness xP.

A really tear jerking chapter here, and not to mention one hullva cliff hanger... hehe...Sesshoumaru is going to be pissed x3

Keep on truckin, and dont let any flames get you down. Your writing is beautiful and inspiring, and boo to all who think otherwise!

keep it coming

I so can't wait for the next chapter!
Chow.

whoa! Can't wait to see what happens! Great job!

Awe... ::Sniff sniff:: does this mean no more kag/toga fluff.. Im so sad...Yes 300 was amazing. The Narrator is Theromere From Lord of the rings. The captian playing in Elizabeth the first and a few other roles. Such a smexy movie. I am still tring to figure out where I know Xersies.

Sins of the father is coming along awesomly. However I must ask. What about Tears?

Aww...They had to part...I wish that they had more time together...it makes me sad...TT-TT I rather like Toga and Kagome's sentimental moments. They make me all warm and fuzzy on the inside... :D Update soon!

Oh this one was a tear jerker! Love it!

300 was fricken beautiful!

And so was this chapter :)

(biting knuckles) AHHH! You really know how to raise the stress level! But it's eustress, so that's ok. Don't stay away long though. I can't wait to see his face! (snicker)

Another great chapter : ) Look back over the last chapter... The difference one letter missing can make lol. It's the second to last paragraph, first sentance. It changes the whole intent of the sentence but it is oh so true. I can't wait for the next chapter, thanks.

Ooohhh...I love this chapter. I can't wait to read more. Please update soon.

awww man, way to leave us hanging!! you know, i check this site like a million times a day, i blame you for it! hahhahaha, you're the best though, wonderful chapter as always!
and they will finally meet!! i can't wait to see how Sesshoumaru reacts! kami, that's gonna be insane! continue soon!!
-hasu86

Oh my god!! i looooove this story!! the whole Kagome/Toga relationship.. whoo-whee that was hooooot!! i took a cold shower after reading that.. lol but now.. oh my god you are the worst at cliff hangers.. but that's good though makes me want to read more.. now i'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see the next chapter!!! awesome job btw!! hehe

Good link chapter. Keep us informed of everything. 300 is AWESOME!! WElcome back!

keep up the good work i'm curious as to how sesshoumaru will react to kagome now

I want more steamy Toga/Kagome-ness! >. Or Sess/Kagome. Either one is fine! Update soon!

Beautiful story.
I love Toga. I know that this is a Sesshoumaru/Kagome site, but if you ask me, I would not complain about the time Kagome had with his papa.
By the way... the lemon was HOT!
Not all too graphic, very emotional, just as I love it. Thank you!
I almost wish that she could stay with him... almost... :-(
Please update soon!

Hey! You're back! Hope you're up for daily (or near-daily) updates ;) It's killing me to see where this story is going - maybe even more than Tears! Keep at it :D

Another brilliant chapter, and what a way to speed up interaction between Fluffs and Kags. Very quick, effectual plotting, there, ma'am. I still wonder about Kagss though...anyhoo, yes, I'm thoroughly enamoured with this fic!

And 300 is so freaking awesome I've seen it three times since Thursday night at midnight. Freaking loved it. Amazing, beautiful, yes. And for some random 300 fun, check out www.ytmnd.com. Some hi-LAR-ious vids there.

Hey Shadow, welcome back! I know the feeling of losing your obsession. My laptop also gave the blue screen of death and it'll cost $245 to fix it. My loving husband felt my sorrow...how could he not? and bought me a new Toshiba laptop and is getting my XP Toshiba laptop fixed for my daughter. I must say you WERE missed. Sooo glad you're back. You are one to be very faithful and prompt in keeping us updated and I truly worried that something might have happened to you. Happy to know it was just a computer ailment and not you or a loved one. Anyway, the plot is getting good and we see Sesshoumaru coming into the story. I hope that'll applease your critics, but no matter, you can make anything you write work and we'll still be happy. So, doing good,girl, gotta fly as my guy is on his way home from doing the shopping and I need to turn on the lights and clear the table for him. TTFN Jen

Ahem...300 Spartans...died fighting for their country. Men of honor and of the sword...

Gay to boot, all 300 of em (true fact)

SOOOO.........How's his logic gonna react when he sees that she's his fathers first mate??

yaaaayy, you're back!! i was so sad and depressed during these past days when i didn't see you update. i'm happy happy now though and glad to see you up and running again! can't wait to read more (i'm practically dying already), so continue soon!
-hasu86

huh?

Just Keeps Getting Better and Better!! Keep up the good work! i can not wait until sessy sees her mating mark from his father HAHAHAHA!!! he is in for a trip and a half

Hey, I really like this fic. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to read the next chapter!

i love this so much. i think kagome and toga make a great couple and this story is great!! i wouldnt mind if they stayed together either!! but u said that sesshoumaru would be with kagome eventually. makes me sad u actually made me love the toga/kagome pairing. i hope u dont listen to these other people's flames and keep updating the story!!!!! UPDATE REALLY SOON!!

At least you have snow to cool off in...

Another amazingly written fic. Cheers to you. It does suck though that some people choose to criticize you for it. And I seriously respect your patience through it all. If it were me i would of given such people a heafty dose of frigid bitch a long time ago. Even now I bite my tongue from giving them a peice of my mind. It's your work, your the artist, creating the work in which we're reading. Not them. Not everyone has to love it, but at the same time they don't have to degrade it. Though it may not suit everyone's tastes in pairing matter, it's no reason for you to be pressured to change it. I find it hard to believe that they're stuck on a minor detail of the story, when in fact they completely miss the fact of how well written it is. And how gifted you talent is for writting. You have a knack for setting up a story just right that will hook your readers into just about anything. And with how your storys change and differ amoungst one another. You can't compare one against the other. Nor can you expect Kagome to act the same in ever fic. If that happened we'd all be reading the same thing over and over agian. Kagome being shy and hesitate and waiting for love. ect ect ect.. it'd get repeative after awhile, and boring. So congrats to you for making bold moves and keeping things new and fresh.

And for those that don't like it they don't have to read it, and should quit ruining it for the rest of us who are enjoying it. In my opinion if they think they can do better let's see them try.

Okay so maybe i should learn to bite my tongue a little harder, but at least i'm being nice about it (or at least trying to)

Anyways
From one frigid bitch to another. Keep up the good work Shadow!!

**And yes i'll raise my hand too Toga and Sess.. mmm the possibilities!**

Alyana stfu!

Anyway I still cant get it threw my head that she fucked there dad lmao mannnnnnn lmao

*sighs* no snowbank to roll in, here.... Once again, your stories are making me neglect my responcibilities....please continue (AND UPDATE "TEARS", TOO!!!!! um....please.)

LOL. I, for one, can't wait to see what happens. Screw the others : ) It will be interesting to see how this affects her relationship with the brothers. You have a delightfully devious mind. Thanks.

w00t! can't wait to see the repercussions of their actions... hey! how about them having one more go at it before they leave each other? for 'old' times' sake? *evil grin*

sorry for the people giveing you a hard time with your story. Just write in what you want
or make a revised eddition to the story latter.

or make a revised eddition to the story latter.

While I simply adore many (namely Tears) of your works, I must say I'm kinda disappointed. I mean I know you totally adore Toga and all, but what's their mating going to do? It's supposed to be Sess/Kags! Or is this just supposed to be a complication for later?

Man what came to my head.
She can brag to Sango about Sesshomaru and Inu-chan father.
"Sango I fucked Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru father and I'm pregnant by him."

lmao mann I was ROLLING!!

wonderfully done my dear. just wonderful. ill have to say that eventhough i am not head over heals for Toga. i loved it. now, the question is... is kagome going to be pregnent? and is that how she will meet up with Sessh?

inugrl

ur story is amazing!!! i luv how original it is & hwo u don't really care what everyone thinks. i look forward to the next chapter so plz udate soon!!! :)

Awsome FF. I never thought of this pairing before, but the way you've wrote it is really creative. I can;t wait to see what happens. Update soon please!!!

Some other reviewer has the notion that just because Toga rescued her, that means it makes it ok for her to sleep with him. That's a stupid way of thinking. If she's going to sleep with people who saved her, then she should have already slept with Inuyasha, Miroku, Koga, and Sesshomaru (from the poison guy).

I still think Kagome is a modest girl that believes in love not lust, and now you made her a slut, because sleeping with someone you just met doesn't make you Bold. And just because she knows how Inuyasha and Sesshomaru act, doesn't necessarily mean their father will be the same way, nor does it give her a magical insight to Toga. Afterall, Inuyasha never knew his father, and Sesshomaru wanted to be better than him. So, how does that translate to Kagome 'knowing' him and trusting him instantly? I really thought this story was going to be about them meeting, forming a chaste relationship, and then he wanting his son to have a special girl since there could have been nothing between them. I would have bought that, but not this.

And to other reviewers, you shouldn't attack another reviewer personally when they have not attacked the author nor any other reviewer personally. Just because someone doesn't agree with a story, doesn't mean you have the right to belittle the person for leaving an opinion on the Story. Think before you act, and maybe we'll all be the better for it.

That was good XD
I think i have an idea of where the story goes now... acually the idea popped in my head a couple chapters ago. hehehe
-sighs- too bad Toga and kagome cant be... :(

Oh i cant wait to see Sesshou's reaction to Kagome now... :)

Nope Nope Nope I dont care what anyone else says this FF is great. Who ever says anything else obviously sux because this rules!! How can you not say it rules?? it freaking rules!!!!!!!!!!

Um..wow. she GAVE herself to Inu and Sesshoumaru father..........thats all I can say is WOW!

Hot damn woman..I would go roll in that snow with you if I want in CA. That was definately hawt! This story is so damn good. And I know that this is a Sess/Kags fic..but holy hell.....Toga is ....sexy as hell. I love that she is gonna have the best of both worlds..getting to mate Toga and Sesshomaru....that is just a fantasy too erotic to handle. Cant wait to read it..whooooot!! Thanks for writing it! Oh, and is Kags pregnant? Wouldnt that be a kicker!!
lol..Take care!

WTF!!!! Wats goin on??? I'm so lost. Update soon and please explain whats goin on.

wow well done great lemon. it sure had my body heating up lol.
anyway great story so far and if u ever want to do a toga/kagome story let me know ok and were you'll be posting it.
thanks for the hot chappy girl.
ur faithful reader always.

What can I say? Totally hot!!!!!!!!You've got the gift to write sensual sex. As for the hackles you have risen...sticks and stones may break your bones,but words will never harm you. Like I said before, it's a good thing no one knows where you live cause them sticks and stones DO hurt. Shadow, you should never compromise what you believe in. Always stand firm in your convictions and good will prevail. I happen to think you are one of the best writers on this site and many others agree I'm sure. You will never be able to please everyone so take what nay sayers write in stride and write on. Even if they try to hurt your ratings, forget about it. You know from the response of your fans that your work is good and we are the real ratings, ne? Now on with more T&K. Oh and who's to say how Kagome would react toward the idea of joining with Toga? She's older and more informed now, not to mention being hit with the knowledge of never being able to go back home to the Feudal Era or to her own time and family. InuYasha 's future would also be changed if she doesn't show up to loose him from the tree. Knowing both InuYasha and Sesshoumaru helped to give her the confidence and trust that their father was an honorable and just man. He also proved himself trustworthy by staying by her side when the well went haywire. He prevented her from being raped and killed and even when he could have let his own beast take her, he kept his honor to protect her. All these things could have made Kagome be so bold in her attempt to join with him and combine their powers to hopefully reopen the portal in the well. Oh, hey, sorry for going on and on. This fic has got me so invovled that I just couldn't help defending yours...and Kagome's reasoning for her boldness with Toga. As always, I bow respectfully to the master of another great fic. You know I adore you my young friend. Hope the ice storm and snow wasn't as damaging to your area as it was to Missouri. Our storm left our lands totally ravaged. Our own 10 acres is a disaster, but we still have our mobile home and ourselves in one piece,so Bless God for small favors. TTFN Jen

I can't believe no one is bothered by the fact, as someone else pointed out, that Kagome slept with Toga after knowing him for one day.

I have one word for that: Slut!!!

Call me a naysayer, but Kagome is not the kind of character who would sleep with a person after meeting them. I mean look how long it took her to realize she loved Inuyasha and pine after him, so it's safe to say she wouldn't sleep with Toga like that.

Now, to me, you completely degraded Kagome's character by having her so quickly open her legs to someone she barely knows. If I was Sesshomaru, I wouldn't want her.

screw that reviewer, if she/he was so disgruntled at reading lemons, perhaps they should be reminded not to read a NC-17 fanfic. *rolls eyes* clearly a nice pg-13 would best suit their interest. lolz

I look forward to seeing what you are up to....I just hope no hanyou pups are involved. Pure Youkai all the way!!! heh.

*faints* i am dying from Toga overload...Kagome is one lucky girl...woman...DAMNIT! I just had to go read A Voice From The Past by Nefra for another Kag/Toga. But as always...my day is never complete without the good ole Kag/Sess...choices choices....eh...I think i would still choose Sess...dont know why...lol

Wow...just wow. Great job! I can't wait for more!

I've printed the chapter, and I will proceed to read it whenever and wherever I can. It's just that good. If Hawaii ((where I live)) isn't hot enough already...whew! Love it! Not too many Toga/Kagome romances out there. Origianl story plot, characters well written, and--oh my gosh! You haven't posted another chapter! Post, I say, post!

Woah.....SO Toga and Kag are mates?? Does that mean when she gets to the future past {Inuyasha's time} she'll loose the mark...or what??
Is she pregnant??
HOW DOES SESSY FIT IN OTHER THAN MAYBE HAVING TO TAKE CARE OF HIS FATHER"S FIRST MATE AND HER BABY???????

PLEASE TELL ME AGAIN THAT THIS IS A SESS/KAG AND WHEN WE WILL ACTUALLY SEE SESSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please update soon!!!!!!!!!
You do know now neither Kaggy or Inu will go through the well without blushing...right???

OMG I love it. It was so hot Kagome is so luck she got both Inupapa and Sess.

That was sinfully delicious!

Whew! well, damn! its hot in here! there must be a Toga in the atmosphere! *guiltily raises hand with you* rawr! i wouldn't mind getting it on with Inupapa and Sess. *sigh* That was wonderfully written. its official. i heart you. you are my idol! i love this fic to death! definitly original! please continue to give us readers Toga goodness! to try and make up for the horrible rating you said people gave you because they are biased, closed minded, and insane for not seeing how great this fic is, i am going back to give you 10s for all the chapers i didn't rate yet! i'm not used to rating so i forget most of the time...anyhoo, please update soon! i'll be waiting!!!

i love your stories. they are all great!

If you do end up writting a inu no taisho and kagome fic i would love to know. i would want to read it. i happen to like that pairing as well. i started to like it when i read a really good fic with the pairing. but oddly enough before that i had not really thought about them as a pairing.

That was awesome! Great job!

I really like this story, but gods I so hope kagome's not pregnate 'cause that's going to be really wierd!

I just can't imagine where this will go from here. Mixed feelings on Kagome with Toga. Not bad, just sinfully bad. Can I borrow some of that ice and snow? TTFN

finally a lemon, lol. luv this fic to death...update soon. =)

This is ther first I've read your story and I like it! I think people like to read sinful and shameful things that cause there minds to wonder. and you do sinful and shameful very well!! ;)

Hmm... could it be? I'll just wait to find out. In the mean time, with that chapter, it's now officially summer in FL (where I am). HOT HOT HOT.

Okay, no berating for Toga and Kagome getting together because...well, damn. Hachacha! Though it does bring up some interesting questions and situations. For one...how will she and Sess wind up together if she's mated to his father? Obviously Toga has another mate, so something must happen. Loop hole...then again, I don't know how you're setting up the rules for mates in your fic. I just really hope Kagome doesn't get pregnant because, frankly, that might be just a little maudlin for me. Though them being mates would certainly work to explain various things...like why Tenseiga protects her and what not.

The funniest, absolute funniest, part of all this, though, is that at some point in the fic she is actually going to have the possiblilty of saying..."That's not how your father used to do it." LOL!!

-AG

I thought I'd join the crowd that doesn't like where you've taken this story.

I'm not sure why Kagome would be so bold as to sleep with Inu-Taisho. She never struck me as the type. From what I've seen in the anime Kagome was less coy and more shy and modest.

I know it's your right to write whatever you want, but it's a shame you've taken your characters in this direction.

hot damn, i need a cold shower! hahaa, wonderful chapter and it was filled with lemony goodness, yaaay!! but what's gonna happen?? kami, i'm dying in anticipation right now! but i really loved it *insert two thumbs up* and can't wait to read more! ^__^
-hasu

WOW!! that was my first toga/kagome lemon. it was great!
now u made me lov the kagome toga pairing! UPDATE WHEN U CAN!!!

luv it!!!!!!!!! x 100

AH! You dirty girl! I loved it! You are my hero... and what was that little tidbit at the end... Hmmm ;D great! The plot is thickening! can't wait for the update... (I've been typng that for a while but i just noticed that it rhymes... hmm)

Wow. That was really yummy. I wonder what Toga was concerned about...hmmm. Hopefully whatever he was concerned about isn't bad, I hope Kagome's okay too. Well...right now she's wonderful I bet. Lucky girl. Geez, I can't believe she gets both Toga and Sesshomaru...maybe she'll share :]
Anyway, keep up the great work!!

I love it!! Omg I love it. At first I was afraid to but then I sat down and started to readand could not stop myself. I speeded home from work just to see if you had updated and YOU DID! YAY! Once again I love it and I wish you did put Toga and Kagome more in the stroy instead of cutting their visit short. ;-; But You pulled it together really well and thank you for the update!

Whew, it's warm in here! I love the story so far! It is really interesting and different. I don't know how you are going to make this into a sess/kag fic, but having read your other stories I have faith in your authoress abilites. I think it will make the story more unpredictable, and therefore, better! Don't listen to the 'nay-sayers' and keep up the good work!

*sigh* My hand is raised as well, Shadow. Really, really high. Hehe... now you're making me think about what that would be like with them...at the same time...
ANYWHO!! GREAT Chapter, and I like your creativity!! I have always wanted to see Toga And Kagome get it on... Dunno why... I just like Toga... *sighs* Sesshoumaru is still my obsession though...
Great chapter, and thanks for the update. Can we have the next one soon?!?!?!
A very impatient ItsNotMe :D

O M G!!! You have to continue!!! Do not listen to any negative comment that has been written to you. Please oh please continue. I think some people do not understand that stories take time. I'm tired of Sess/Kag fics that just get to the point, and this fanfic is a breath of fresh air. Such originality, I love it!!! And PLEASE!!! update when you can. Thanks for all the hard work!!

oh yummy see *- Tamara's hand raises guiltily-* i agree totaly, *-Drules-*. umm i mean yes i agree (LOL) with u there shadow i think alot of readers will be jumping up and down hopping (me mainly) that you'll be putting that seen in here lol.

anyway...... great story so far and like my other reveiw i LOVE ur writing and well done k.
oh well keep up the great work.
Your Faithful Reader
Tamara Melton

I LOVVVVVEEEEEEEE This Chapter I would get it on with both to lol cant wait for next chapter

How could you just leave it like that?!?!?! Major cliffy... Keep up the good work... and dont even think about what those naysayer think about your story... youre the author and you decide what is written... if they want your plotline chaged so much tell them to write it... I for one cant wait for the update.. later

Let me get this straight: Kagome knows Toga basically for ONE DAY (actually not even a day), and she's going to have sex with him. Well, I'm NOT reading anymore.

Kagome doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would just jump a guy's bones when she only just met him (no matter how good looking he is), or that the only way she could think of to get home is something that invovles sex (geez people, sex is not always the answer to everything). Also in 'Tears', Sesshomaru struggles with knowing she loved Inuyasha first, and now he's going to have to struggle to accept she slept with his father (and he's going to find out). I think that's just too much.

If I would have known this is what you had planned all along,... I don't think I would have supported you to stick with what you had originally had planned for them to be together longer. (Though I still support any author not to change their story for the sake of certain people who don't like it.) I still think Kagome and Toga have a father/daughter relationship (and only father/daughter), and not anything more. Sorry, but I am disappointed with this story. I think I'll only stick with 'Tears'.

Shadow Girl....I just adore you!!!!! I just KNEW you couldn't resist!! But I'm getting the feeling that you may be justifying the "act" by a means to returning them to their own time? (Have you've read the fic where Sessh is part neko and he used his hmm...yeah that...to ki share with Kagome so she wouldn't die of hyperthermia, "Through the Mirror by Sidhe"? And no, I'm not implying that you stole that idea as I am sure you probably know the authoress who wrote it, but kudos to a great way to get T&K to get it on. Who am I to say no to "the mad,wild,passionate monkey "dog?" dance"?????? I love your Toga character and having Father and Son would be quite a treat...and hey, I do believe an "Original Idea" too,ne? Go for it Shadow! No one has dared pair Kagome with InuPapa and so you'll be the ground breaker for all to follow...but you'll always be the first and the best in my eyes. Rock on, Shadowsweaver1 ...you are the ONE that your name implies!!! Now on with the fun!!!!!!!!

shadow im afraid to say it but ... al the hell with it!!!!! girl i love the way you think! kagome is one lucky girl if this story is going in the way i beleive it is and i for one am giving my full support on your idea, and not just cause im a smut wierdo like most on this website ^-~ . i like how your plot is going and just for the record tears of the fallen is also a great success!!!!

W00t!! Kags/Toga!!!!! Piss on the others. This story Rocks!

Inuyasha who? Drag that hentai muse out to center stage, I say! And to all you hot donkey sex with InuPapa naysayers, I say BOOYAH!!! I'm a slut puppy, myself! Let Kagome get it on with all three of 'em (at separate times, for a little posterity's sake) if she wants!!! Of course, I know that's not the point nor the plot of this fic, but seriously people, Toges and Fluffs are both hot, and Kagome is a young, independent woman with needs. I'm more than happy to put her fate in your typing fingers, Shadows! Another great chapter! Can't wait for the hentai goodness!

Well I'm with you Shadow they're both hot. I would totally do it too, they're just so shmexy! Update soon please!!

P.S. Katie and Vampire Katie the Human Slayer are not the same person so if you get reviews with the same e-mail address we're not the same ppl we're just friend's who have the same name and use the same account. Confusing huh? Just didn't want you to get confused so...yea

Well shadow, I'll be very blunt with you... You have a way of making me want to jump Toga's bone! Plus I'm right there with you, if I had the possibility of having Toga and Sesshoumaru, believe me I would be more then happy to obligate ^_^ hehe!

I'm sorry to see that people didn't trust you with the way your fic was going at first... but yeah to you for finding a way to have Kagome and Toga come together... they make such a cute couple too...

Anyway all that to say GREAT GREAT GREAT fic, and I can't wait for the next part!

Review you later!
FT

Oh my. Kagome and Toga sure have themselves in an interesting situation. I knew exactly the first time Toga mentioned it how the well was to be opened. Hmm...I don't know if thats a good or bad thing on my part. Guess my mind was in the gutter again...hehehe. Anyway, update again soon..I can't wait to read what happens. *grins*

Hmm. Let's see what your pretzely mind will cook up. I don't mind Toga Nearly as much as InuYasha romancing her. Uck. This should be interesting. Like the look on Sess' face when he finds out. :)

Hun....this is a SessKag story.....rarely people who love s/k stories REALLY care about Inuyasha!
How pray-tell is she gonna meet Sessy??
SO she and Toga will get down and dirty next chappy??

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

You're such a tease. Who gives a crap about Inuyasha when you have Kagome x Toga goodness in your hands!!! I used to think an Inuyasha x Sesshoumaru x Kagome sandwich would be sweet to read, but this exceeds my expectations by far. By all means, keep writing!

The idea does not bother me. I know that there are stories of the two of them together. I am, however, interested on three things: 1) How did the other Toga get to that time if the well was closed?, 2) How does Kags get involved with Sess? and 3) If Inu and Sess find out about it, how do they react? This is a very interesting story and I can see how the title is very fitting.

Oooh, that was positive evil of you! Cliffhanger when things are heating up between Kagome and Toga? What is the world coming to? I'm way too curious, and I eagerly await the next chapter.

So I guess Kagome was the one that got Touga all lovey dovey with humans. Well now its Sesshomaru's turn to get all lovey dovey with humans!!! YAY!! Love your story update soon like I know you will!! ^_^

Horray!! Kagome's keeping it in the family!! You're a naughty author! ;D
Can't wait to see how it turns out... I mean -er- close my eyes until the moment passes. ::squeals:: That's just too cute! 3 Can't wait for the next update.

Evil thou name is ShadowsWeaver1!!!! You left us on such a BIG cliffie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARG!!! Please update soon....very curious to know what that devious mind of yours comes up with to open the well!!

Ja Ne!

This has been an very interesting story..
I have one question though would kagome begin seeing some of Sesshomaru in the InuPapa..
I think its cool that she gets a chance to see both.. I am not sure about having sex with the Papa but maybe some fooling around.. She might reget it later when her and Sesshomaru get together just becasue thats how she is and don't forget that Sesshomaru might not like it either...
But the thought was pretty good.. Although I'am Hentai like that..
Well hurry with the next chapter and don't let the reviews bother you..
If they don't like it they dont have to read it... Thats my opinion.. I for one enjoy the story...
Take Care
Mari

::raises hand also:: ME ME MEEEEEE.....i just finished reading what you have so far, and i must confess that since chapter 2 i've been hopping for "this" to happen!!!!!!! Ever since i read "Tears of the fallen" i fell in love with Toga...dont get me wrong...i absolutely LOOOVE Sesshoumaru...but theres something about the Inupappa thats plain sexy!!!!
I hope you wont change the plot again...i would have liked to read (or know) the original plan for this story...now im guessing well never know :( DAMN IT!!!!! WHY DIDNT THEY JUST WAIT!!!!!!!! I dont understand...if you dont like how a story is going then u just STOP reading it....and thats it......now they made you change the plot....NOT THAT IM COMPLAINING...im kinda hoping you post the next chapie soon...hehehehe....
Im always ur fan!!!!!! Please UPDATE SOON!!!!!!

ooohhh, you are eeevvviiilllllll!!!!! evil, i say, evil for stopping there!! you are going to post the bundle of citrusy goodness though riiiight?? hhaha, i hope so. but hot damn, you've gotta update soon cause i'm just itching to read more!
-hasu

I love it, I really do. I can't wait to know what'll happen next. Keep going.

'What was to happen' ? You're scaring me. Please don't stoop to this being a rape fic. (clasps hands) I DO like the revenge. Being in two places at once can be rather useful. (evil smile)

yayness, loved it! keep writing!!! i love inutaishou and kaogme

Awesome chapter!!!

Love this story! Nice twist with time you did there...I can't wait for more!

Ooohh...I can't wait to read what is supposed to happen (what Toga is referring to). Please update soon. Thanks :)

*cough*illusion*cough* Not allusion hun. Means something -totaly- different. Illusion is an optical trick, allusion is to lead someone to falsely believe something...I think...alluded allusions...yeah...

Good story, but I have come to expect nothing less from you! Keep on Truckin'

Oh, you cruel,cruel, cruel girl! How could you end it like that?! WAH!
Well, obviously I like.
Update Soon!
When are you going to update Tears of the Fallen?

Hey i like your story so far! Its Awesome, I know its supposed to be a Kag/Sess Fic soo im not going to harp on you like most people would, i even bet you have a surprise or something going on for us! Well I was writing to say i hope you update soon and keep up the wonderful Work!!

Amberlynne

I've not been able to get into an involved story like yours yet as I'm trying to get my own done, but I did skim through what you had.

Seems a shame that the encounter had to be altered. If people don't like it, I say shit on them. If you've read As Death Gives Life by Rinseternalsoul, she had Kagome courted and impregnanted by Anubis before Sesshomaru even came into the picture. I didn't see anyone complaining then, but that could be because there was plenty of smut to assauge the masses. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but to have a unique beginning shot down because it failed to immedietly throw Kagome and Sesshomaru together isn't in spirit with this site. We, as authors, are supposed to be able to express our appreciation for the pairing in any way we want. To chastise an author or back you into a corner because instant gratification wasn't delivered is just plain rude.

Given that you can obviously read, then I'm pretty sure you knew this site was for Sess/Kag. To imply you were posting anything else is both an insult to your intelligence and an aspersion to your character as you would be trying to 'sneak' in something.

I say, shit on them. I'm more interested in the original story, but you, of course, have the final say and I don't expect you to change it to suit me.

*grips face* Double cliffy. Oooh....

You see how your many fans speak out in your defense? You are loved Shadow! Do as you see fit with your fic. If you are indeed set on change at this point, it's your choice to make,ne? You can never disappoint us, in my eyes anyway. Every story you create just shows how truly masterful you are. I'll be looking forward to more.

i love it great story. i live sess and kag pairings but i also like kag and inutashio pairing too. i have read a few good ones.

Forget those people! If you said it's Sess and Kag then it's so. If they have a problem they should stop reading. I love Toga! I really wish you would stick to your original plot. I know you're not happy with having to cut it down, and a happy writer makes for a good story. *sigh* but what ever you do I'll be here reading avidly. Keep up the great work!

Is there any way someone could read the original story line you had in mind? I don't know what everyone was getting all excited about, it's not like Kag's hasn't been shared with someone else before. I mean really, what would the problem be if Togo and her had a fling when a good many stories have the brothers sharing the woman. "Not that you had that in mind." :)
They started this site for people to write, and your writting. You have an original idea and everyone is harping for nothing. You told everyone that is was a Sess and Kag's pairing from the start. It's to bad that most readers don't take time to read the story, they just rush through looking for the "Sexy" parts and that's that. So when you have an author who wants to have their characters build on something solid, readers get fed up with actually reading a longer story. Kind of ironic, they want you to write long chapters, but they don't have the patience to actually read it.
Enough of my thoughts, I liked the original line of the story. If you told the people in charge it was a Sess and Kag fic then you should have kept writting it. Your writting for yourself not the READERS! I can only hope if you stick with the changes you will be happy with the out come of your story. It's such a treat to come across a writer that can actually write!
Good luck and I will keep reading!

shadow, please don't cut the time kags have with toga.
i want them to have more interaction on each other.
so please, pretty please with sugar on it, return to your original plan.
i enjoy reading your story, ganbatte!

I don't know what those people are talking about. These are probably people who don't see a problem with stories that ARE posted on here that have threesomes with Sess/Kag as part of the trio, or when Sesshomaru is sleeping with loads of women and those scenes are written out, but it's ok because it's part of the 'plot.' They just have a warped sense of thinking.

The only thing I was concerned about with this story was that you had two stories being written at the same time involving a lot of time lapses or shifts. I was worried you could accidently confuse yourself with both of them having time traveling and making sure nothing overlaps. Obviously you're not having that problem at the moment, or you wouldn't have attempted to write both of them.

I say screw what those naysayers are nagging about. If you say it will be Sess/Kag, it will be Sess/Kag. I am intrigued to see what you will come up with, and how Toga will help bring those two together. I say don't cut out what you think will bring this about realistically. Personally, I want to see more of Toga, because I really like how you are portraying him and his interaction with Kagome (well as long as it's not romantically; I totally see them as having a great father/daughter relationship, kinda of like how Sesshomaru has with Rin; that's just my opinion). It's your decision to adjust the story how you see fit, but I think you should go with your gut and write this story how you originally intended it to be.

NO!!! Don't cut your chapters short because a few people don't know that good plot line need meat. (aka Toga) Everyone here knows that these stories are Sess/Kag related, and every good story has drama. I don't believe you're violating any rules and if those people have a problem...well...de ain't gots tah read 'em!! It's making me sad just thinking of all the adventures I'll be missin'....

Okay, since you've already dealt with way too much unnecessary crap, I won't vent over the fact that you had to compromise your idea just to appease vicious threats. Would it be silly of me to say I got your back if anyone files a complaint? I tell you, as much as I enjoyed each chapter so far, I would love to see what you originally had in mind. Oh well, regardless, it's already an amazing, adventurous fic with *Toga* (squee!) and I can't wait to read more. And personally? If Kags has to get it on with both Toges and Sess, I certainly won't complain. Lord, it isn't like such a scandal has never happened in real life!

WTF you made it perfectly clear where you were going with the story, nobody gives a pile of crap about what anybody else thinks it's your freakin story Shadow......for all the other fools don't read it if it doesn't make sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOO Dont listen to those people! Keep your story the way you planned it! I have faith in you Shadow :x SOme people just whine cause they arent patient. Well screw them >_>;.
You should plan the story t he way you want. The way it came together in your head.. instead of editing it to what ppl think it should be. it's YOUR story.. not theirs. If they dont like the way it's going they should stop reading then.

But so far I love it.. even though I dont see Sesshou till this chapter. Waiting makes it all the better!
I love all your stories. Keep writing the way you do and dont ever change for anyone. 3

PLEASE DON'T DO IT! Toga is too awesome to cut his time shorter! don't listen to what others say if they're too stupid to read the AN's and notice you've said this was a SessKag fic at least every chapter! i actually wouldn't mind a TogaKag Fic. you portray him so wonderfully! *drool* and there simply aren't enough Toga fics out there! if it weren't for him we wouldnt have sess or inu! and he had to put up with them for who know how many years?! i think he deserves more crdit that he gets.

Okay, so you know my stand on this ne? it's just your fics are so good, and i love toga in them, i'd hate for you to have to deviate from your original course seeing as you always mangange to awe me with your work. please don't skimp on it just cause people are dense, anal, and just plain stupid.

Wonderful new fic! i'm already hooked, it looks so promising! please update asap! lol yeah, i think kagome's had enough tears to last her a couple lifetimes. keep up the great work! XD

~Fan of Yours

Shadow, don't change your fic, PLEASE, don't. Your storyline the way you have it laid out is always best. Don't back down because a few readers don't know you well enough to just leave their doubts behind. If you change what you originally planned then you won't be doing any justice to yourself or your story. If anyone plans to give you trouble on this then email we that know your reputation and will defend you. If you tell me how, I will back you up fully. I just can't let you alter one of your many great and thoroughly enjoyable fics to be changed and left chopped to appease nay sayers. Listen to your heart Shadow, you have to do your talent justice. I also love the Toga character and giving him a lead part in your fic is the same as giving InuYasha, Sango, or Miroku parts in a Sesshoumaru/Kagome fic. So, you go girl...I love your work and with each new fic you bring this ole gal alot of happiness.

What the hell is wrong with these people! They leave these reviews like you have no idea what you're doing. If this wasn't a Sess/Kag fic I'm SURE you wouldn't post it on ASS.

(I never noticed that until you pointed it out ^_^)

*sigh* It's really a shame that you had to cut Toga's time short. I love this story already and I like the way you portrayed Toga.

He a lovely mix of Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha with some of his own personality thrown in.

Please continue to write these amazing stories!

YEah!! I lobve Toga too!! If you do write a Toga and someone fic lemme know! This story is just as great as Tears. I love it!

I was never offended about the Toga tidbit..and yes we all know that rule but multiple pairings are not disallowed...

Iie! I speak blasphamay-how dare I even entertain the thought a sexy InuTashi, tan skin, hard muscles, and piercing golden eyes? Just because he is a perfect mixture of hsi two hot sons doesn't mean he is better because he is a perfect balance?

...Or then again maybe it does....

Anyhoo, Sesshy isn't born yet so there is nothing to explain! And we all know that it is a preparatory to what will occur with Sesshy.

Could you consider writng a side piece [I guess AU] where Kagome and Inutashio do hit it iff going on from this story-line? It just sounds so cool!

Btw, I love Sesshy to death, I'm an ardent fan, but bishies need adoration! And Touga is defintely hot enough to command my rspect-amongst other things...^_~

On single spark post [naturally or shall I say, "duh!"] the Sess/and Kag version and on FFnet yet ANOTHER version where Touga and her hook up! Please, pretty please? It just has so much promise. Juts consider it, it's always up to you.


-Dani.

Aww... Damn it. It sucks that you have to cut Togas time with Kagome short. I was really looking forward to seeing him in a lot more chapters. *sigh* Well, good luck on your story.

-Sereneth

You know, I think it's a real shame you had to change the plot to your story b/c of few narrowminded people. I was throughly enjoing your story and I agree with you that the last chapter was rather choppy and nowhere near as interesting as your previous chapters...so hopefully the next chapter will be better.

Oh no...don't crop the story just because a few peoples are complaining! Thats terrible...I for one am really enjoying this story so far. Good work!! Anyway, I wonder what happened to Kagome...I hope she's okay. How is Inuyasha going to be stopped too? Hopefully Sesshomaru only wounds him a bit instead of killing him. Hmmm...I wonder what Toga thought of to solve there problem. Hehehe....I wonder if its what I'm thinking of. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to wait and find out. Keep up the great work.

NOOOO!!! YOU MUSTN'T CHANGE THE PLOTLINE!

Those stupid people who are questioning you are idiots destined to go to the seventh layer of hell for making you change your plot! You've said it numerous times that you were making this a Sess/Kag story, and it's on ASS... it doesn't matter about the lack of Sesshou-Maru! It just adds suspense and lots more reasons for them to get together... kind of... if you know what I'm talking about... They're stupid! *Whines, rocking back and forth like a baby* Change it back! Change it ba-a-a-a-a-ck!

Anyway... I love this story (and the title, that's what really caught my attention)... it's fantastic! I heart it (though I would heart it more if you stuck to the original story line... *wink wink nudge nudge*) and I hope you update soon (This one needs more Toga! He's awesome with the way you write him!) and I also love the way you write Kagome... she kicks ass!

Please Regard Me Kindly,
I Agree

Like I said before, YOU TELL THEM! Lol! I read that and I just started to bust out laughing. Good thing no one was here to see me. Oh well, as always great job. Gotta love the Toga...makes me wish people weren't idiots cause...I LOVE TOGA!

You're really being sweet and cuddly today! (snicker)

Nooo! Don't listen to them! Your writing style is great just the way it is!!!! Alteration may throw it out of balance!

I still see that she's still stubbornly oblivious about basic things like adapting to clothing styles and safety. How she's still alive is beyond me.

Pushy, isn't she. As if it's her right to know. I hope he teases her to distraction! Nice manipulation on her 'innocent' part, BTW. (smirk)

*reaches the end of the last available chapter* Nuuuuuuu... it is gorgeous, it is wonderful... I love it very much...

Hee. I really do enjoy this storyline, and definitely enjoy your writing style. Please, continue!

awwwww, but i like Toga!! damn it, i was hoping for at least four or five more chaps with just him and kags. =,(, freakin people, just let her write!! i'm really sorry though that you have to cut things short, truth be told, you should just do whatever the hell makes you happy, but i understand your precautions as well. *sigh*, you're still a great writer and no matter what, i know that i'll still continue to love this fic of yours! continue soon!
-hasu

Well Hey if you say its a Sess/Kag fic than its a Sess/Kag fic I believe you and besides who doesnt like Toga? I like Toga and If he's going to get Sesshomaru and Kagome together than do what you want I'm not complaining I rather like this story I think its doing great!!

~Vampire Katie the Human Slayer AND Sesshy's_true_love_1818

Wow...you have no idea how disappointed I am at this turn of events that has been forced on you...

Oy oy. You could just....tell me who's giving you troubles. I'll take 'em disappear meng. Quiet like. No one will ever suspect, ya?

>.>

.

This conversation never happened.

*slinks off*

Seriously though, I'm sorry everyone has to be a jerk and not be patient. On the internets we call those people

N00BS!

lol internet. I hope it that in the long run it doesn't effect how you feel about your story.

NOOOOOO!!!! Please reconsider and write the story to its full length and normal pace! Killing off plausibility just to pacify some angry spirits is not the way to go! Simply write the best you can to get back at them! Gambatte!!!

luv the chapter!!!!

wait... is this going to be a toga kags pairing... the one you were saying you were going to write at some point... i'm confused on that... but otherwise interesting story... update soon

I 'm sad that you'll have to cut the scenes short. The building blocks of a story are very important to the final outcome. When you first mentioned this in Tears, I was surprised to see it here, but then I read what you wrote and just waited for the magic of the story to continue. I love how you portray him. We can see both of his sons in his character plus quirks all his own. I love the interaction between him and Kagome. He's so confused. lol Just one question, since some people (grrr at them) here can't wait for Sesshomaru to show up , will it be the same at other sites you post at? Have loved all your stories. Keep up the good work!

luvs the story. thanx for updatin soon. and even if it was gonna be a toga/ kagome fic i wouldnt have minded. update when u can!

again thanx for updating so soon!!!!

Ugh, I cant believe the people that are forcing this on you. I would love to see a slight TogaxKagome bit going on before the true pairing came out. Dont the rules state that the final pairing -has- to be SessxKag...if that's so, then what's the problem with a little Toga?...unless I miss read the rules.

I've read most of your stories, and loved them all so much. You are a wonderful inspiration, and I am pissed that there are those out there who cant get their thinking straight. This is a SessxKag site, and you are definatly no first time writer on this site..*sighs* Alas, we cant kill the morons draging down the collective intelligence of society.

Another good chapter, and hopefuly you can continue this plot close to what you had originaly planned.

Three cheers for being a frigid bitch! Woo! xD

You seem absolutely obsessed with this fic.

I love it.

Update soon =D.

Okay I don't see how this story has anything to do with kagome and sesshoumaru getting together so far it just has Toga and kagome acting like buddies can you please explain to me how exactly this pertains to the site rules.But it is good and all I'm not saying its bad but it doesn't make sence to the rules.

Excellent...another story from one of my favourite writers.

Hmmm...will this fic be a little tie-in to "Tears of the Fallen' or completely different? Possibly the interaction with Toga and Kags will have an impact on Sess and Yasha's outlook on life and each other.

I'm so glad you started this story...now I'll have another good fic to read. As always, you rock! :)

See, just as I've said, only you can bring this character life!!!! He is every bit Sesshoumaru but, InuYasha's more reasonable side is there too. I am honestly impressed with your flare for keeping us guessing. You do indeed live up to your name. Great beginning my friend! As always, I'll be checking in tomorrow. Yours was the only story I got up to check in on today as the fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue has reared it ugly head with a vengence today. I can only hope it will only give me a reprieve as I honestly hate the solitude it leaves me in. TTFN, my friend.

People amaze me sometimes with their demands for pairings. Is it not obvious that if it is on this site that the main pairing will be Kagome/ Sesshomaru? But enough of my ranting, I love a good Papa Inu fic. There are just not nearly enough of them out there. I have read one good Kagome/InuTaisho fic but they are just so hard to come by these days. Keep up the good work, your chapters inspire my days.

its very good write more soon ^.^

Mmm, yes SessxKag. No doubt that your love for the TogaxKagome pairing will shine through for a moment. Alas, if only the site allowed it.

The title made me think of something. Perchance you've heard of Emmerson, Lake, and Palmer? Meh, it's a part of one of the songs they sing that I love, and it brought the thought about.

Hehe, you and your obsession with Toga. This is definatly going to be a good story, and I cant wait for Sesshoumaru dear to come a waltzing into the plot as a young happy care-free child that later has a traumatic experience with Kagome that hardens him to the prick he is today. *sigh* Hopeful not too cliche? As much as I love the whole 'back in time' plot, begging over here not to make it cliche. PLEASE :D (Im not saying Tears is cliche either!!)

Speaking of which...nah nvm

Good story, and I am excited to see how the plot unfolds.

OH! But this would be such a good Toga/Kag! Pity...anyhoo update.

-Dani.

SO *counts on fingers* Toga is from 200 years before Sessy's born and right now he and Kags are in the time when Sessy's 300 years old....am I right??

Lookin good!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Toga too!! And you have to totally update soon and I'm so glad you update so quickly it makes me so very happy!!

Yay!! We learn his name...even though I knew it already. I'm so excited about them traveling together. I wonder what's going to happen now and where they will go. Update again soon!!

thanx for updating so soon!! toga is so grumpy but i luvs him n e ways. update when u can!!!

It IS a lovely title btw.

you'll make Kagome have an... affair with Toga and later get together with Sess? Ewww......

... I hope Inu no Taisho doesn't have a fling with Kagome. Tehehe. That'd be just weird.

thanx for updating so soon!!! the story is lookin good so far!!! update when u can but pretty plz dont 4get about tears of the fallen.

You just love to send Kagome farther into time dont you? Well I dont mind I rather like that idea and I like InuTaisho too!! Hes shmexy....er um...nvm pretend you didn't hear that. Anyway update soon I really like this story

If you do not update soon, I will kick your ass!

Interesting way to portray Toga, I like it.

-Dani.

update soon

YAY!! i am so happy you started on the story with toga in it cuz i absolutely love his personality in tears of the fallen!!! UPDATE ASAP

I'm so glad you decided to put this out. Finally, something different and unique. One, question though. If Sess was 800 years old and she went 500 more years in the past, that would mean Sess has been born and around 300 years old. Similar to the age of Inu Yasha when she first met him. Is this right? Or am I just missing something? TTFN!

I just knew you'd put this new fic with InuPapa out before you finished "Tears of the Fallen". I'm soo glad too that you are doing a fic with him as the base character. You have done such a fantastic job with him that everyone else is naming him Toga in their fics. You've started a trend! Can't wait for more. As I said before, he is a character with such a wide potential that there are many ways you can write him and I just know that only you can do him best. Rock on, Shadow!!! I know this too will be a fun ride as all your fics are!! I'll be looking for you tomorrow then...Ta!!!

Great story so far can not wait to read more!

(claps hands) There are more and more stories with their father coming out. And they're all so unique in their own right. YAY! I love it!

Hmm. The title is ominous but the description is reassuring. And then, there's the fact that YOU are writing this. (looks amused) Let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve this time.

Yay, another wonderful story! While I'm sad that you aren't going to be updating 'Tears' for awhile, I'm glad that I'll be able to read another wonderful example of your writing. I can't wait to find out what happens. Keep up the great work!! :]

hahaha!! now shes 1000 years in the past! with an arrogant ass to boot lmao!! keep it up love your stories!

YAAAAYYY!!! more new stories! ah,that was a rather interesting starting you had there! i read your comments at tears of the fallen about you wanting to write a story of inu taisho with kagome and you really did! it was pretty fast!! can't wait to read more stories coming from you!! :P

Cool start!!

Ooooo! I know who it is! It's Sesshomaru's Father!!! Toga!!!!

Well... I think that's who he is. Lol, he's my favorite character.. Though I think there definitely aren't enough fanfictions with the Kagome/ Toga pairing. This new story of yours looks interesting. Good luck!

-Moi

Sereneth

oohhhhh, when you mentioned another fic in the works in Tears of the Fallen i didn't think you'd get it up so soon! lol, i really love how you portray Toga, haha, you're getting me obsessed with him too! i like this so far though, definitely something different. i hope you continue soon cause i can't wait to read more!
-hasu

::clapclapclap:: Yay! This is exciting~

Oh my gosh Oh my gosh!! Is it Is it InuTaisho?! I like this its really good and that why you should update soon!! Like totally please
