angst angst angst! all the angst! Waaaaaaaaaah!

*sniffle sniffle* and here I thought Sesshomaru was FINALLY going to go get her! ugh all this miscommunication.....Surely if he THOUGHT about her answer for just five seconds, he would be able to smell that she didn't confess her love our of a love for a lover (which means she would smell like lust). She claims to love him and her scent would remain normal. ay ay ay ay ay ay! Come on Sesshomaru you rule a whole land! You avoid political assinations and stuff surely you can figure this out!

And I am pretty sure now that Inu knows that Sesshomaru wants Kagome, he will be watching Kags and may even inquire her feelings on Sessh and Inu isn't stupid. Once he realizes she has feelings for Sess, Inu may conspire with Inukimi to get those two stubborn fools together. Although, we haven't seen Kagome's maid recently, I am still wondering if the maid has a....ahem....attachment to the hanyo prince ;)

Now for the mysterious assasination attmepts....I think multiple "leaders" are involved. With Inu out of the way, they may think Kagome would also back out of the Hime tradition or be easier to kill. morons/......

Cannot wait for more!

Two steps forward, a million steps back.

I have to say I'm quite upset.

It seems that some people don't know how to communicate properly. Everyone is a victim of misunderstandings. Inu-yasha was under the impression that Kagome had feelings for Sesshoumaru, but apparently confused when Kagome still wants to mate him. Inuyasha is not a man of words so in his own way he was basically saying that she didn't have to mate him if her happiness was elsewhere. But she took that to mean something else entirely. Then Sesshoumaru misunderstood Kagome when he asked her if she love Inuyasha and she said yes (though as a friend in her mind), he took that to mean something else entirely.

I'm really pissed with Kagome right now.

Kagome is once again on her path of self destruction, sacrificing her happiness for Inuyasha. Kagome needs to realize that even if she decides to mate Inuyasha, while she maybe comfortable in the relationship, she will never truely be happy because she doesn't love him the way he SHOULD be loved.  That would be totally unfair to Inuyasha. She, also needs to understand that Inuyasha will NOT truely be accepted even if she becomes Hime because he would be taking an easy way out. He wouldn't really be earning his place and that wouldn't be doing him any favors. Especially, if there are those who still feel that he is undeserving of his rank.

Sesshoumaru has pretty much resigned to let her go and all this could have been avoided if some people would just swallow their pride and say what they need to say. Inuyasha is more than willing to let her go, he even didn't seem adverse to Sesshoumaru's desire to court her.

This entire thing is an emotional rollercoaster and quite frustrating. Someone needs to run interference with these people. Otherwise, they are going to be miserable.

Now that is out of the way, I will say that once again you've done a wonderful job transmitting the emotions from the characters to the reader. I love it.

You are probably one of my favorite author's right now and don't take that lightly. You are up their with some of the greats of the Kag/Sess Universe.

Can't wait for your next chapter. Please update soon!

ahhh poor sesshoumaru......inuyasha better tell her so that she knows how sesshoumaru really feels for her

I like this sstory, but it also makes me mad how Kagome and Sesshomaru act.

Here's the only part that needs clarification, why would Sess just let the former Gon leader go without finding out who is the master plotter behind all this? He was nearly assassinated which I think is fair grounds to throttle the dude until he talks. Demon society is certainly savage enough that it would have been justified. Me thinks it was a missed opportunity that goes against what a good leader would do...not only protecting himself but a high ranking subject, Inu.

TT^TT Poor Sesshomaru~ the angstiness of all of this is killing me. I absolutely love the story though, it's so~ good even though the misunderstandings frustrate me. Please keep up the wonderful work! 

There sure is a lot of angst going on and mostly misunderstandings, too. Hopefully it won't go on and on. I know kagome is just trying to help but she doesn't seem to have much faith in inuyashas abilities. She needs to have more faith in Inu and sacrificing her own happiness is not going to do her or inu any good. Poor sess.

Oh my God you were just so evil I love it I love it I love it I love it and I love love love love love love love love love love love love it

I cried I laughed I screamed like a little girl again but this time I am home

you are so evil I love you I think I should torture the show little plush just like you're torturing me love the update love it love it love it love it

Nooo!  Aw, poor Seshomaru. I may have teared up at the end. Can't wait for the next update, and hope it is soon. 

Why does.kago.e have to mess everything up.  Darn that woman!  My heart is broken I dont k ow how much more.i can take

*fails about* No fair! O.o That is one evil cliff. X.X

I'm looking forward to someone telling Kagome the obvious.  If she mates InuYasha for that reason all three of them will have miserable lives.  Would that be mission accomplished?  She doesn't have the right to make InuYasha seetle for someone that doesn't love him because of what she thinks is important.  It'll just set up a replay of what happened with Sesshoumaru's parents.  I hope she sees that this is actually very selfish and selfless.  She should be honest with InuYasha and let him make his own decisions in life.  Isn't that what he's trying to achieve?

Kyaaaaa! This one is my favorite so far! XD You're other two were great two, but this one is really sweet. =)

Holy cow, I just read straight through 22 chapters without realizing it.  I love this story.  You do a good job with the pacing and seem to have avoided what I always fall into when writing which is to have certain high points of the story planned and then my writing getting to those points is very lackluster.  Your use of shortened sentences to create tension and the longer more expressive words to convey emotions is something I have been missing for a long time.

In this chapter I fully felt Sesshoumaru's surrender to what was happening to him and at the end his determination to just not care about what's supposed to happen.  You did a good job building up his tension from his POV sections that when he finally kissed her it was a relief and a joy for me as a reader because he finally got an outlet for what he's been suppressing.

I can't wait to read more.

Ohhh   JUST PERFECT. The question "Sesshomaru? Do you love her?"  and the answer "I do." so few words, but a huge meaning >-<

yayyyyy! honor be damned indeed :D

Episode 4 of Sailor Moon Crystal aired, if you missed it you can watch it on youtube. Good, keep it coming

Un dia mia - we finally get to the goods, and you end it!!!! *dies* I want more!!!!  I've read this chapter twice already, I am addicted!

Very well done! I demand an update soon. :)

Yes yes yes!!! This is what I have been waiting for. This is a great story and a well put together one!!i
