*Spoilers ahead*

Beautiful story! I can't believe I hadn't found this story until a few days ago! It is such a gem.

I cried all throught the story, I mourned when Sesshoumaru died, I mourned when Inuyasha passed away, I cried when Kagome saw Inuyasha's remains, I cried when I realized Sesshoumaru placed his swords directly on Inuyasha's body.  Sesshoumaru's character growth was absolutely beautiful. I do wish Sesshoumaru and Kagome somehow could have lived together, for as long time would allow. I was holding on to the hope that Sesshoumaru was busy finding a way to extend Kagome's life, to match his own. But, this ending is beautiful and it wrenches my heart in the most exquisite way.

I see you haven't logged in this site in 3 years. I don't know if you're a medical professional. I don't know anything about you, but wherever you are, thank you for this story.

I wish you well.

Thank you.

Okay...this chapter TOTALLY did not go the way I thought it would. I thought the doctor who is Naraku (Onigumo)'s descendent conspired with Hiko (the man who left in the middle of the surgery to use the restroom) to somehow either kill Sesshoumaru (botch the procedure) or somehow cause Sesshoumaru to go mad and kill everyone in the surgical room (and therefore, he'd be wanted by authorities and be 'put down'/killed).

Woah...I was NOT expecting a good outcome since Naraku's descendent is in the picture now! :-D

Off to the next chapter, I go!

<3

I literally cannot stop reading this story! It makes me laugh and cry... it reminds me of the "Tales from the House of the Moon" by Resmiranda, with a strong emphasis on medical ailments and treatments. Excellent!

This is the most Sesshoumaru has ever spoken, and he never said a word.

;-)

Great story & writing!

I think this is the most creative Sesshomaru making it to the modern times fic I have read. I liked RosieB's Besides You in Time but you are just more unapologetically heart wretching and more consistently in character. It makes so much sense he has PTSD and isn't perfectly okay. Sesshomaru just up and leaving for a few years is very in character but dang I am dying to figure out how the valve got out and how he healed. (I think this is where I shameless point out it's never too late to write a sequel...)

The story taking place mostly in Japan is mostly surface level as I'm pretty sure they don't have Social Security numbers and trucks / dirt roads are uncommon. 

The details you put in regarding medical was well done; super well researched if not accurate frim your experience. I enjoyed these details immensely..

Thank you for sharing this amazing story and I look forward to reading the rest of your work. 

Wow. Dang that is deep. I can't wait to see more of your wise Sesshomaru. Very glad I found your story. 

Here it is, take it, my poor weeping heart. This story was so beautifully written and what an emotional rollercoaster. I just cried my eyes out. Whew

YEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

I really appreciate how you're not rushing the entire experience of hypnotherapy into one session as some writers might have. Im not sure what I think about hypnosis as it is, but I am positive that a once through doesn't workout like that. Not only are you using several sessions to trace through the experience, but you also noted that he had been preparing for this journey into his past for the week prior. Those are important details, in my opinion (FYI I have an MA in clinical psych, so I'm not talking out my a** here. Lol)

Hahaha! Can I just say, I think it's so cute that sesshomaru has such an affinity for sweets. It really is! Also, how does a practically immortal, self-regenerating demon get sick so much? Poor guy can't catch a break! Lololol! It's sweet to see kagome always caring for the now-fragile demon lord from her past. Lol

Oooohhhweee! That was a fun ride. Im glad these two finally worked some things out. Ive been wondering because it seemed like neither of them really appreciated what she'd given him the last time. Although, to be fair, they CLEARLY had more pressing matters to deal with, and still do. I love this story. You're a wonderful writer. 

Poor sesshomaru. He was so lonely and broken. All this with no memory of his greatest trauma! 

Good GOD woman, you've got ME stressed out. What is HAPPENING with sesshomaru? Something tells me his back story is going to make me cry my eyes out..

Omg the idea of sesshomaru in such a weakened state is utterly heartbreaking. And the way he so deeply wants kagome to love him brings tears to my eyes. This is honestly amazing work. I can't stop reading...

Wow. Those are some powerful emotions coming from sesshomaru. I cannot help but wonder, what in the world happened to him?? 

Im sorry I haven't commented until now. But this story is amazing. Ive found myself so engrossed in it that I forget to comment. 

This is the story I come back to over and over again when I need a comforting read. Still love it so much and I appreciate how new things jump out at me each time I read it. When Sesshoumaru tells Kagome about the first time he saw Inuyasha, I laughed. It's very cute and appropriate For his temperament.

For the love of all that is holy...this WRECKED me. I bawled, I laughed, I gasped, and then I freaking cried some more. You gave Sesshoumaru a smidge of humanity while still maintaining his otherness. It was so real and didn’t shy away from the graceless realities of life. Did I say I cried? I CRIED. There were parts where I felt like I was dying. There were parts where you authentically made Sesshoumaru precious—which is about impossible—and it still worked with his character. I absolutely loved this. Thank you.

Holy cow, I cried so much reading this. Damn! It was so good.
