i fall more and more for your stories. the emotions with each and every character is amazing. i love how sesshomaru evolves in all your stories. you bring him to life for me. kagome is a treasure in each and every one of your stories. even inuyasha is apart of the story line(even if he is sometimes just the observer). your writing is lively and if you deceided to make a career of it i think you would do well. keep up the good writing. i love how you put together the writen word to make a wonderful story come to life. c'ya'. 

favorite time of year indeed lol

just joking the kid can say " i was conceived on Christmas day!" 

WOW i loved ur story. only a few chapter but they were so long that i couldn't stop reading it!!
way to go! you kept sesshomaru his normal self yet he seemed relaxed and lovign at the same time. many people fail to do that so way to go. 

I love this story!!! ^_^ please update soon, I have addedit to my favorites and eagerly await the next chapter XD

I loved this story. I could not stop reading it. Thanks for a great story.

so why were his dreams related to Kagome's pregnancy, and why does he want her to know? I admit its pretty late (2am) and my kids are giving me a case of mommy brain, so did I just miss the answer to this?

I loved this story and was glad to see a continuation. It was a refreshing change from the average fanfic where Sesshomaru intentionally impregnates her, and knows right away. And Kagome's reaction to her "kids" being "pups" was perfect. How many time in a fic where Kagome is corrected from baby to pup have I wanted to roll my eyes and say "yeah, whatever." lol and the complete lack of caring about the difference showed how perfectly she accepted this. I think for her to get sentamental over the fac that she carries a "pup" would lend too closely to her atually seeing their differences, where as THIS way she's blind to their difference. 

Congrats on the impending family addition. I understand your fears and concerns (just as any good mother would have) but at the end of the day a beautiful life is joining your family ranks, and thats cause for congratulations. Best wishes to your daughter and your growing family.

I can't believe it ended there....Loved the story...but didn't like the abrupt ending, there was so much more to tell.

omg one chapter left...i can't believe it is over...bummer

That was passionate, hot and steamy!!! awesome job

awesome awesome awesome...eeewww I cant believe she let Hojo do her...gross

THIS IS AWESOME!!!Great opening to a fantastic story...I can't wait for next chapter!

I would love to know if their 1st pup was a boy of girl.

 I also want to know about the dreams he was having of his father & the information he heard from Myoga &/or the blacksmith & what they said about his father. Some of what they'd told him about his Sire he was still processing internally & whatever it was he'd found out he wasn't ready or willing to discuss with Kagome on night she finally returned after 3 months. She was pregnant & they had both found out she was pregnant while she was in the future & he was in the past & they both had been very worried about whether or not she'd be able to return thru the well to the past & if they be reunited, as soon as she returned they immediately left for the castle & they immediately & eagerly mated as he marked her as his Mate for life.

She then asked how he knew she was pregnant & he told her that he was having nightmares of the night of his dad's death & that his father had died when he went to see Izayoi the night she was giving birth to Inuyasha & that Myoga was the only one with his dad that night. So he decided to see Myoga to find out if he could get answers & since Myoga was with Totosai,the blacksmith, that is where he went to ask about the nightmares. When he got there he told them about the dreams he was having & he needed to know if they knew why. He was not expecting them to tell him that the dreams he was having about his father & the night he died (on the night Inuyasha was born) were because there was a certain change in his aura & the only other time they'd seen this aura change was on his Sire after he Mated Inuyasha's mother & she was pregnant .

Another thing I would love to know...since it said they had many more pups ,both boys & girls & that each one was a being of both honor & power worthy of the Taisho line. I want to know if they all had they same powers & abilities or if they each had different ones? if any of them had Sessh's markings & the mark of the heir on the forehead? what did each one look like,did they have silver or black hair & blue or gold eyes? Sessh & his Sire were both Tai or Dai Youkai's which are more powerful than youkai's & I know they both could take on their beast forms so I can't help but wonder if Sessh & Kagome's pups could take on beast forms & if they were (when old enough,I know they knew from when Sessh was a pup that he'd be as powerful or more than his Sire) as powerful or more than Sessh? did all or any of them get the powers & abilities of both parents ??  or if they looked like Inuyasha with the ears, no other markings,human days & no powers but some youkai strength, healing & speed & the concern that their fathers powerful youkai would overwhelm them & make them bloodthirsty,uneven to tell friend from foe?? 

 It is said that youkai or powerful youkai instinctually look for Mates that can give them the most powerful heirs that willbe as powerful as them or more powerful & that their inner youkai usually finds them(which kind of sounds like what Sessh was trying to explain to Kagome when she was worried if the youkai council would approve of her?) I can't help but worry if any of Sessh & Kagomes pups had to worry about human days & losing themselves to their youkai blood like Inuyasha,I've heard he has that weakness because his father was a very powerful tai youkai & his mother was a human with no power of her own & that if a youkai,especially one as powerful as Sessh, mates with a miko,especially one as powerful as Kagome, the Shikon Miko, their pups would be extremely powerful.Sessh is considered the most powerful youkai & Kagome is the most powerful miko. In the real story when the jewel was complete Sessh killed the evil spirit in the Jewel who had placed a seal on Kagomes true inner power,when she was an infant & that the symbol her mom saw glowing inside her chest at birth was the seal, because it was massive (imagine if it was so smothering for him when she was an infant, how  much more powerful she'd become as she matured) once Sessh killed that being her true innate powers were now accessible to her & everyone could then feel or see how powerful she really was & they were shocked, her power was astounding & unheard of,she glowed when she used them...,right?? this story takes place after that happened.

Oh my gosh...I have MISSED you SO VERY MUCH!!!!!! Sorry I didn't see this when it first come out but my medical situation has kept me away more often than I would like.

This was just the best gift ever for Sesshoumaru to find he sired a pup with Kagome after enduring all that heartache of letting her go back home with no knowledge that she'd ever be able to come back.

This was sooo romantic and their night together? It couldn't have been any better. I can't tell you how happy I am for you that you won an award for this. It and you deserved it hands down. You are and always will be my favorite writer in this fandom. You are so versatile with the many different storylines you put Sessh and Kagome in and each and every one is just so entertaining and addicting that from the first chapter the reader is just hooked and craves more.

I respectfully bow to you, Lady O and I hope to have the pleasure of reading more in the adventures of Sesshoumaru and Kagome.

Much love,  JEN

FUUUUUUU**! oops, sorry. That was just too good!

BEST FIC EVER!!1 <3

Thank you for making me smile, laugh, and cry oh so hard.

MIND NUMBING JOY MUCH? GORGEOUS LIKE SPUN SILK,THANK YOU!

nice to see u back. great story and really sweet.  hope school is going well for u.

Oh god! Oh god!! OH GOD!!! PLEASE PLEASE!!!! CONTINUE THIS!!!! I love this story truly its amazing I beg of you please even if its just a one shot ending with her coming back I don't care but please just keep going I'm dying here for this one I have to say it is my all time favorite Christmas Romance with them. Its just amazing really!!!! Please I really do beg you to keep writing this one.

This was such a sweet Christmas gift for the InuTachi to be able to reunite again after such a long time. Christmas miracles do still happen. At first, I believed that Kagome was having one of those visions, like when she was in the future and InuYasha was sitting at the base of the Goshinboku and told her to come back and she used the sacred arrow tip that Kikyou had sealed InuYasha to the tree to get back to the Feudal Era when she saw Sesshoumaru when they were dreaming at the same time.

I, too, would have just sumped into the well if I saw it had returned. I wouldn't want to take the chance that it wouldn't be there if I went back to get warmer clothes or supplies. The reunion seemed to be alittle short,but I guess she didn't know how long she could stay and was leery to take that chance. I have to agree with her mother though, if she decides she wants to stay with Sesshoumaru, what does having her high school certificate going to do for her in the Feudal Era? Oh well, that's Kagome.

I'm happy she and Sessh were able to finally consumate their feelings for one another. I found Sesshoumaru's difficulty expresing himself to be very sweet.

I think if you wanted to some day, you can add on to this and make it into a chapter story. I'd like to find out if they finally come together,but maybe another time...  JEN
