OMG.
You. Are. Amazing.
:D
I admit, I was reading this everytime you updated. But soon life caught up with me and I fell back on my reading... So, tonight, i clicked on your story and re-read the entire thing. The entire beautiful masterpiece it is.
I laughed, I cried, I wanted to stop reading because I was afraid of what would happen. But, I forced myself to continue to read.
You are an amazing, creative, brilliant, genious, spectacular, rare, clever, gifted, individual. :D
And I commend you at writing this brilliant piece of art.

Ah! This story was just beautiful and emotional and strong all at once. I could literally see chapter 8 with my eyes closed. And I very much enjoyed the tale Sesshomaru told in the journal. Very captivating. After the story I couldnt do anything but sit in silence as my mind wandered through the whole story and beyond where it ended. Thank you for this experience because this isnt normally the kind of story I read so reading it gave me a sort of fresh feeling by straying from the norm. Im in love :) I'll say the fanart got my curiousity spiked because seeing a short haired sesshomaru and one where he was stoned was priceless so now im ready to look back at them since I will have a better point of view. Keep writing and hopefully I will get the chance to read more of your work.

Amazing. Simply just amazing. I never leave reviews,but I had to this time. The emotion in this story is so intense. And so realistic! You are a blessed writer. I love the ending. You did perfect on this. It's 5am now lol I stayed up just to finish. I'm still in awe.. I'm taken aback.. I've read hundreds maybe thousands of fanfics majority being kag/sess and I will say this was the BEST EVER WRITTEN. It wasn't 50 chapters and it didn't have to be to put in what you did. The emotion was so amazing.. This won my heart. BEST KAG/SESS EVER. I MEAN EVER. Nothing compares. I look forward to your other work.

BEST EVER. It REALLY WAS!

Sincerely, A new fan of yours :)

I had to leave this comment after reading a few pages on the other reviews. They all seem discontented with Kagome's lack of reaction towards Sessh's  3 year return. In my mind, I see it as this. They, the readerm truly don't get the story then. Everyone takes something from a story. It doesn't seem to be just about the silence or just the learning to be in the present moment. What they can't see is that, for them(sess and kag), time prolly means nothing other then a short life span for Kagome VS Sessh. 3 years is a drop in the bucket for Sesshourmaru. She knows this, even if it does upsets her that he left. But along that note. time is short for her, why waste it on being anger with him, when she prolly known he would be back. He told her that in not so many words himself. I can honestly say I am happy with the ending that is just really the beginning. :)

Wow, this was simply amazing. I can't even form the words to describe how this makes me feel. Silence, it reminds me on my favorite moment, when the moon is high and the air is breathing around me and the leaves almost jiggle in the wind like happy child-like laughter with the flowing air humming like a patient mother. I close my eyes for a few brief moments and take a deep breathe, and just for a moment the world is alive and time slows to show me the present no other way. I have a baby tree in my front yard, a maple I think. I walk up to it and place a hand on it's still smooth trunk, and for a split moment I feel it telling me a story about it's life and how it see things. Yet, it's so fleeting in it's moment, that I lose the story like a dream fades. I tell it thank you and talk with it some, maybe touch a leaf, if I feel like it. And as always I turn around and head back into the house, letting the world speed up again and go on with my life until the next time I need a moment like that.

This is what I really do. I always talk though, I think next time I will leave it in silence and see what happens. I always thought that I was truly listening, but I think I am only listening for the first part, and barely listening at that. 

Your story is so simple yet so complex that it hurts. The emotions are raw. Very few people can write that.  I have to congratulate you on your personality on Sesshoumaru. The stories that I have read lately have been boggling to the brain. When someone writes Sessh living thru the 500 years, they turn him into a weak and whiny simpleton when he interacts with Kagome and bend his personality to her whims. If she gets mad, they make him back down "outta this new found love for her." "He doesn't wanna do anything wrong to upset her and make her leave." It's like he is a fagile china doll to her emotions. Honestly it drives me bonkers LOL But I still reading them because the story are still good and can put a spin on Sessh that I had never read before.

Highly impressed with your story. Thank you for writing this. You put faith back into my  reading of AU about sess/kag. <3

I haven't even moved on to the second chapter, and I can tell this is leading somewhere good.

Either you've done research (in which wow, such a good job!) or you have experience in the medical field,

it truly adds on to the story in wonderful way.

Thank you!

Yeah...I cried...alot...hn

This is one of the most beautiful sesskag stories I have ever read. I almost cried at the end especially with the song playing.

You have so much talent at this and it shows through your writing. 

That was a very beautiful ending. 

Wow... That made me cry. Every time Sesshoumaru died, or almost died, I think I almost had a heart attack myself.

Beautifully written!

This is an amazing fanfic. It took me two days to finish because I had to work, but it drew me in like no other story has. You did an awesome job and I just wanted to tell you.

Amazing, amazing, amazing story. Truly. There are no words to describe how in love with this I am. You did a marvelous and more than original job. I did not find one mistake throughout the entire story, which is a lot to say, so kudos to you. This story really made me want to apprciate the silence around me. And I now find it to be... comforting, instead of awkward, as I once thought it to be. You are obviously a talented writer and I deeply encourage you to try to get one of your works, hopefully this one, published. Because I know it would be a huge hit. :) I deeply enjoyed the last two chapters; they astounded me. I loved all the twists and turns throughout it all and also loved how perfectly you portrayed each and every character from the anime. Especially Sesshomaru. Once again, you did a marvelous job. Thanks so much for taking time out of your life to allow your devoted readers to enter a new world with your stories. <3

Holy cow.  Those last two chapters...just wow.  My heart is still lurching from the emotions.  I'm not going to clutter this with words.  Just thank you.  It was beautiful.

Only a true soul can describe such a touching story---- Thank you very much for gifting the readers with a part of your haven.I enjoyed it thoroughly, while it lasted!

I just spent the last several days reading this, and I'm up WAY past my bedtime tonight to finish this. I'll probably pay for it in the morning but it was soooooo worth it. Beautifully written. Tragic, sweet, and I was kicking myself everytime I had to leave my computer. Kudos for a job well done. This is a fave and probably the best you had written!

The one and only story that has ever made me CRY.

Congratulations....on the best sess/kag fic EVER written.

When i thought Sesshoumaru died, I cried myself to sleep and couldn't bear to read the rest of the story for two days. Then my mind just gawned at me! Therefore, grudgingly; irritated with myself, i read it, sniffeling like a four year old when he didn't come back. However, now i understand silence through speechless awe. I loved it! 

Welldone.

This is the best fanfic i have ever read. I love this version of this story. It sucks it ended soon tho, but the ending was just right. I just didn't want it to end!

This was awesome!!!!  Wow!  I think you are very gifted and must be a medical student or something.  That was awesome!  I look forward to reading many more of your works.  That is for sure.  I was going to be very mad at you at Chapter 21, but that change quickly.  Totally facinating work of art! 

Hey, I just started reading this story after seeing someone's fanart of a drunk Sesshomaru in a tub, LOL...I am amazed at how talented this story is written!  You must be a doctor or something.  Great job.
