This story rocked! I loved sesshomaru, Keep up the good work!

That was AWESOME!!!!!!! I want more....and more....and.... .....
great ending! I kinda hoped that it would go on forever, though :) Good that it did have an ending because I would never get anything done :P

This is actually the second time I've read this; I got halfway through the first chapter of the first part and realised that I'd read it before but had to keep reading anyway. I would love to know what happens after- if Kagome lives long enough to see her family again or if she writes them a letter with instructions that it is to be read on a certain date or something. Well, now I'm off to read the other stuff you've written!

its great! its all awesome and all things wounderful!

i just finished reading the whole story, and i really love the way you told it- not changing the characters personalities much at all. ESPECIALY sesshomaru. this is now one of my favorite fanfics and i'm going to have to start watching you...

Just a quick Hello and I loved your story! I didn't want to stop reading it until I was through (even a work - I'm so naughty!) It was a perfect mix of action, humor, and fluffliness. I felt the characterizations were right on too - and even liked your OC. Great work! Keep it up!

I'm so sorry that I didn't review sooner, but I knew the fics were complete, so I wanted to read them completely before sending. (I actually dropped all work on my fic for the past few days to read it all, time for eating and sleeping notwithstanding.) It was . . . exquisite. Very rarely do I find authors that seem able to balance the elements of romance, action, humor and tragedy both equally and fluidly, but you have done an amazing job of it. I also enjoyed the fact that some of your phrasing reflects your UK upbringing- reminds me of how my mother speaks. Thank you for working so hard on this, it was utterly enjoyable.

Looking good this fiction is getting so exciting and additive.

Keep going I cannot wait to read more loving it (^^)

~smcandy~

awwww, I loved it! I was so happy with the first part yesterday that I dove right into this one, sadly I got no sleep that night and I went to a water park to find myself half dead around 3pmish....I had to finish the last chapter and it was so wonderful. Thank you.

Ahh, I forced myself to stay awake all night (from 10 PM until 7 AM) to read parts I, II, and III. And I must say, though I'm tired as shit now, it was completely worth it and I will sleep well.

wow it took you 5 months to write it...it took me 2 days to read itXD I LOVED IT!!!!! so so so so so so so so good!!!!!!!

*Squeals* I loved this story...though it took me a LONG time to read all three parts but I made it. I hope you do come out with another story since this one was simply superb! ^__^

Fantastic. I totally enjoyed all of your stories and I loved the way this last part ended. It made me very happy. I love happy endings!

I will be looking forward to reading more of your stories soon, I hope.

Very well done.

From a devoted fan :-)

Oh wow. The first part, the last two parts, were amazing, and I loved every single bit of it. That's all I can really say about it. I loved it so much I pretty much had to lock myself up in my room for two and half days to read it. *coughs*
So anywayss. Now it's time for me to venture on over to your other fanfic. :D

Okay, so I haven't gotten to the sex scene yet, but let me tell you, I am reeeal excited for it. Normally, with the style of writing you have and the fact that there's been so little sexual tension up until the recent two chapters, I would think your sex scenes would be kinda iffy, but I read Simply Hard (title makes me laugh every time!) and it was really good, not to mention the scene where Sesshoumaru gets injected with aphrodisiac... dear lord. Maybe this sounds really insulting or silly, but it's a genuine complement. I was still going to finish reading your story, even if I wasn't too excited about the lemon/s because your writing is clear and your character developement is both believable and engaging. This is just me letting you know that now I'm really excited.

And I said 'really excited' about four times now... anyway... yay!

I just wanted to say that I was really impressed with this story. I was looking at all of the winners for the annual awards, and I came by this one. I ended up reading the one-shot you did to compliment this first and enjoyed your writing style very much, and so I decided to read this fic. I must say, it's been a while since a fic has kept me entertained enough to stay up half of the night reading it. Well done on a terrific fic. I loved your humor, your chracterization, the pace of the story, and your details. Keep up the great work in your future stories. Mujitsu.

Great story! My knees actually tingled with thier first kiss! Loved it!

Excellent read! Thank-you for sharing your story with us!

That was an amazingly sweet chapter Elle. I only wish that this story could go on and on and on. Three parts is simply not enough! >. Thank you so much for writing this and sticking with it to the end. You are seriously one talented author dear. I would love to be updated upon the arrival of your new fic. I think you have me hooked on you!

noooooooo!the horror!i love this fic to death and now it has come to an end!!!!!weep.

i'm so glad you won an award for this fic. you so deserve it!i hardly EVER read trilogies. actually, this fic is pretty much one of the only trilogy that i bothered to see it through and also, my favourite one!

i'm so sad there's no moreee!!!!!!

NUUUU I feel like someone just tapped me on the wrist and said "No Kassandra, No more crack. You must now go cold turkey , little one!" And stole my stash! Because most assuridly your story was addicting...! Please keep me updated on your next one !

This goes for all parts of this story: It was wonderful! Everyone was in character, the original characters were all interesting to see grow over the course of the story, and your style of writing is great. You had some problems with tenses, but everyone does, I think. Just your 'he had's and such. I was sad that Eiko died, cause it woulda been nice to see that relationship end happily, but not all endings can be happy, someone had to lose, I guess. Anyway, like I said, goes for all parts. Hope to see more from you! ^-^

Hi, I am rather late in all of this, but I wanted to say that I loved this story! It made me laugh, and cry, and all that good stuff that stories are supposed to.
^_^

OMFG! CONGRATS ON WINNING BEST ROMANCE/ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!!! THIS STORY WAS SOOOO AWESOME! PERFECT ENDING TOO!! Sigh I loved this sooooo much! I would soooo love to read your next story. Let me know when you start posting it. Congrats on a bad ass story!!!

Wow...it certainly has been an amazing journey as I have seen your story develop. You never failed to awe me. I loved your character portrayals and development and could not have thought of a more appropiate ending to this wonderful story. Please update me when you start your new story.

*applauds* bravo! that was a great ride! i must say i didn't see the whole eiko-who-happens-to-be-akiyama's-mate-to-be-turned-into-an-evil-sword-for-the-evil-neko-youkai-bad-guy aspect coming! i feel bad for the guy. i liked the semi-lemon you had in the chapter. i think you did a good job in capturing the moment as a whole and not just the physical action of the event. i found the last scenes to be funny. i enjoyed kagome's punishment! lol i don't know if i would've cooperated so well as kagome did but i guess there wasn't much choice in the matter right? i thought that was a very creative punishment. and the whole competition between sesshoumaru and inuyasha regarding who can have the most children? *rolls eyes* males! i don't mind the whole "let's see who's the bigger man..." deal but don't let it involve having your significant other be big and swollen for a couple months with bouts of morning sickness and hormonal imbalance! if i was kagome i would'e preferred them trying to beat the crap out of each other. and i love the whole name issue. thought that was funny. shouldn't come as a suprise though considering what sesshoumaru's name means! lol

anywayz, i loved the fic from the beginning to the end. loved every aspect of it and i had a great time seeing the developing relationship between our youkai lord and miko. although i hope that your next fic won't take them a billion chapters to finally see what the hell is going on! lol well, even if it did, i'd still read it. looking forward to the next fic you got! take care and great work!

*heaves great sigh* Wow, what a wild ride....I cannot believe it's really over. It feels like yesterday that I read your first chapter, and I choked on my coffee with laughter in what the third chapter?? lol.....I cannot believe this story is done....But...wow...you did an amazing job this with. I applaud you and your wonderful work. You are a truly gifted writer, with such a way with words and descriptions. You have a real and true understanding of both love and relationships..and that understanding flows through every word you have written. I cannot possibly thank you enough for such a wonderful time...Iol I feel like we (you, me and all my fellow faitheful reviewers) were on some kind of wild road trip, one that alas, came to an amazing throughly satisfying end! But I cannot wait for the next trip, I'll pack a bag, buckle in, and prepare for another wild and incredible ride...and this time I will be sure to bring my lovely posse of demon boys...Seriously, I am truly looking forward to your next story...although this one will be printed on my nicest paper, and put in a binder and read, over and over again...yes, it was THAT good. Thanks again for gifting me with your amazing tale. And you better believe I want to know when you come out with your next story!!!!

Full of action and suspense, your battle scenes (ch. 12) were very well described and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire story. I especially liked the slow buildup from tolerance to affection between Kagome and Sesshoumaru. Congratulations on your awards for Best Romance and Best Action/Adventure Fanfic.

*cries because it's over and then hugs you for creating such an awsome fic* Oh man, that was AWSOME!! Sigh, I can't believe it's oaver...so sad, but it was so good. I love it, now I'll have to go back a re-read it all over again ^_^ just because I can...hehe. Awsome job, you deserve an award...I loved this fic and would be extremely happy to get an alert when you post your new story ^.^ Do you know what it's going ot be about yet? Anyway, this was one awsoem fic, love it, love your writing, it was great, thanks for the great ride!

*wipes away tears* i really enjoyed reading this story. now i won't be left waiting to find out what happens next. well, at least not until your next story comes out. anyways i'd appreciate it if you let me know when your next one comes out. thanks. oh congratulations for winning those awards too.
a faithful reader,
ceira =)

excellent ... though i wouldn't have minded a bit more detail when it came to the mating

;)

*cries* I can't believe it's over! *sniff* :( This was a great ending! Thanks for writing this wonderful story! I'm gonna add this story to my recommended readings at my Inuyasha website. Hope you don't mind! :)
Oh, and I'd love to read your next story too! It's gonna be hard to top this one, but I'm sure you can make it. ;)
Thank you for many hours of great reading!
*hugs*

Aw. Yay! That was such a sweet ending. ^^.

Oh! Hang on a tick...just have to wipe these tears away. ;_; ANYWAYS. I'm glad to have read and indulged in this story. It was so beautifully typed, prepared, written, etc. (Unlike this review) I bet you hear it all the time, but once more couldn't hurt anybody. I think Sachimaru will turn out to be an awesome baby. What do all their names mean anyway, if they mean anything at all that is? Wel,, I absolutely love, Love, LOVE this story! Thank you!!!!! ^_^

OMG OMG OMG....I can't believe that this fanfic is done. I love the fluffy ending, although I can't help but feeling a bit sad about it. I've been following this fanfic ever since you started writing the trilogy. This was one of the best fanfics I have ever read. I will definitely your future fanfics. Congrats for winning the annual awards!!! You really deserved it. Thank you for writing this fanfic.

What a beautiful ending to your wonderful stories!! I'm so glad that Kagome and Sesshomaru are getting to live happily together!! But wow, 5 kids in 10 years!! Poor Kagome!! Thank you for not having her hurt in the battle with the Northern Lord!! Well, at least not hurt badly!! This is such a fabulous series!! Thank you, thank you, thank you so very, very much for taking the time to write it!!!!! I hope you write more Sesshomaru/Kagome fanfic!!

This was an amazing story!!! you are a great writer, I cant imagine being able to do this...Reading this has become part of my daily routine i dont know what im going to do with myself now...anyways thanks so much for your hard work. I look forward to all your future fictions!!

As for this final chapter, what can I say? Just as wonderful as the rest only it left me feeling kinda sad that this is the end of a great story that has kept me entertained for months.
You mentioned something about a new story. This is my email address
[email protected] Please add me to the list.

Ahh, that's such a great story! You have no idea how many nights I didn't do my homework to read it! (This is another of those nights) So, yeah, you should send me a message when you get that next story up. ([email protected])

Wow you actually completed the last chapter while I was still on chapter 25! This is a very good story and yes I will leave another review for Part 1. It was just so well written that I did not take the time! Yes, I would appreciate an update when you write your next story! My email addy is [email protected] I liked the way that Kagome's and Rin's life got extended although I am sad it did not also happen to Sango and Miroku too. It would be interesting to see a oneshot of how Kagome's family reacts if she lives that long to meet her family again and show off her children and possibly grandchildren. Also congrats on being chosen in the Annual Awards as it is how I found your story. Keep up the magnificent work and I will read more soon!

Oh Wow! that fanfic was certainly one of thee BEST i have EVER read! Props to you!

So many people write great stories but the end turns out bad. This is a story that held my attention threw the entire thing and had a wonderul ending. Can't wait for your other story.

Very nice. She deserved a punishment and I hope the pup grows to be the exact opposite just to spite her! hee. Thanks for all your hard work!

You did a really nice job on the ending chapter! Everyone wants to make their endings so dramatic, and yours was nice and calm, very sweet! You did sooooooooo good on this fic and you really did deserve First Place! I can't wait too see what you have in mind for a new story, but I can't wait for it, send me a message when you post your first chapter! That'd be awesome!

YAYYY.
I loved it, I was kinda sad though that Akiyama was not reunited with his mate to be.
Anyway I dont really know what to say other than excellent job with everything and I cant wait to read any new stories you end up writing.
& if you ever need help with anything just let me know
=]

i've been reading this story, starting from part one to part 3. reading since the first couple of chapters were put up. always kept in suspense, thinking and waiting for the upcoming chapters. it's sad to think this story has come to an end, however i anticipate to read more of your interesting story. please inform me of any upcoming stories that you have started to write.

Say it is not so! It is finally over. I really loved reading this story I am sad that it has ended. This was a great trilogy. You finished this trilogy with a bang. It was the best chapter. I would like to be put on alert when you start posting your new story. Well until your new story.

*stares stupidly at screen and then pokes it* Wha…whats going on?@_@ I was totally prepared for this to end, you has after all told us this would be the last chapter, but now I find myself adrift. Whatever shall I do until your next story comes out? Sure, I can read other stories but none of them will cause as much frustration and hair pulling as A Simple Legacy did. I shall go through withdrawl! Oh the utter horror!XD Well, you know that I definitely want to be put on your alert list and I will sadly, oh, so sadly, become an addict again as soon as I can get my grimy paws on another wonderful piece of your literature. I can’t wait! Until next time, Chow^^!
~Chaos

awww, i liked the ending. so sugary sweet and satisfying. i was glad that this story was not one of those tales of "love at first sight" and their relationship actually developed slowly, like how it's supposed to. *Sigh*
Wonderful story.

Two of my favourites have ended this week, yours being the second to. Entirely different voices, and yet, thoroughly satisfying. I want to take this time to thank you for six months of very hard work and total bliss on the reading end. I think we should always say thank you for those who bestow us joy 

I found the ending marvelous. A thorough sense of completion. The destruction of that horrid hanyou, Inuyasha’s acknowledgement and acceptance of his place in the Inu-Taisho clan, the completion of Sesshoumaru’s soul, yes, his soul’s completion, and Kagome finding her home and her happiness, with all its ups and downs, and even the elemental, finding his own conclusion, and as life would have it, said, is not always pleasant, but such is life.

I printed it off in joy at work, when I checked in today to see if any of my babies where updated, then settled in and read and was well pleased. Thank you for a marvelous addition to this ongoing Feudal Fairy Tale. I look forward to whatever strikes your muses’ fancy in the future.

P.S. And as for the sphincter clenching…hehehehehe…yeah, Sesshy and his command to the elemental youkai to rule the Northern Lands LOLOL…what a bitch! He really doesn’t want him within an inch of his woman LOLOL! Oh, likin the punishment! Souls did merge…beautifully…as expressed in a subtle way with simply eye contact, constant eye contact in their union. It says much..beyond carnal wakening..but of souls. Well done. **snicker*** still like the Northern Lands bit LOLOLOL! Sorry, but it amuses me and Poor Poor Jaken… and he thought he had it bad with Rin…LOLOLOL okay shutting up now. Thank you!

Awww! It cant be over! It just cant! No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No NoNo No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No! You MUST write as fast as you can! Alert me if you will, please. Arigotou.

Onamae wa nan desu ka? Real name. I am just curious, I will not stalk you or anything! [I just want to come to your house and get sneak previews on the new Fic'!] Joking!

Is it modern times? Present, past or future? I really would love to see it soon! ! ! !

[By the way, your artwork is great. Hounoutenshi is a great artist as well, If you would be so kind as to tell him. :P

If you dont mind, I might draw a scene from your Fan fic [ASL] :]


Love to hear from you soon, bye bye!

Wow, it's...over...

Wow...I can't believe it's over. I remember when you were still posting up the first part of the series....I can't wait to read your next story though. I do want to be put on the mailing list for it too...you have my email already right?? Anyway, I loved this chapter..it was really good. *sigh* Kagome is one lucky girl...and Sesshomaru is one lucky youkai. I wonder what other troubles they'll get themselves mixed up into in the future....heheh like Kagome's time. I could just see Sesshomaru for the first time finding a televison. *smiles* Thanks for posting up this wonderful story...keep up the great work for your future stories as well :]

Wow. I can't believe it's over...but it was a really good ending! Thanks so much for sticking with it, I love to see stories that play out all the way to the end, Thanks for your dedication!

I'm so happy that you won so many awards, you definitely deserved it!

If it's not too much trouble, I would love to know when you have started your next story. You are one of my favorite authors here! *big hugs*

It is bitter sweet, but still all good things must come to an end... You are a great writer. I can only wish to be as great as you in my novels. I hope you start another set of stories soon so I can have something to look foward to.

Congrats!!!!!

*blinks*


*gapes*

Wow....I can't believe it's over. *sniffs* But congrats.....it was an EXCELLENT story!!! I am definately looking forward to more from you! :D

Wow.....the whole battle scene was excellent! I guess it was a good thing that Kagome went, after all! XD I'm glad that Ryukotsen was finally defeated....he was a bad kitty. xD Aww!!! Sesshy's and Kagome's babies sounded soooo cute!!! AWW! And Inu and Moriko's....kawaii!!! ^_^

Ahh...I'm sad it's over......but, I'm happy for you too. ^_^ I'd love it if you could email me when you post the new story! ^_^ You still have my email, right? Well, it's [email protected] if you don't. ^_^

WOw..it's over.....somehow..it's weird *g*
But it was a greatgreatgreat chapter! Of course, the story with Akyama and Eiko was very sad...but they won against (this stupid-cruel-power-lusting.....) Ryokusen!!
And all the other scenes..just great!The little scene with Sessh and Misao, where he ruffles her hair, and eventually hugs her..so sweet!!!!!^^) and also the final scene!
The whole story was really great! I love it!
Would you pleease alert me, when you update a new story? =)

The End. The End! I still can't believe it. And yeah, I know that all thing come to an end, but man, I'm really gonna miss reading this story. These tears running down my cheeks proves it! lol And wow, what an amazing last chapter. I'm just so happy. And I'm starting to cry again, so I better stop here.

Oh, but before I go, I am totally looking forward to other stories you may write. Oh, and a big congratulation on this fic. It definitely deserved it.

Lovely ending. Lovely ending.

I think that you did a good job with it. I would definantly like to get a notice for that next story. I hope you have as much fun writing that one as I hope you had writing this one.

I hope to hear from you again.

Best of Luck,
Christine

its over....*CRIES* now what will I look forward too....nothing my life is empty now...good ending though lol

Wow, I loved this story soooo much. You are a great writer, good job. Can't wait for your next fanfic

I'd love to get info on your new fic!

This was one of my favorite fanfictions to read. I'm sad to see it go.

And lmao I just realized that I am already on your mailing list. Ah well.


3 Insomniak

Aww were sad the story's over too but were happy it won! Yess! We cant wait for you to write a new fic could you email us when you do? Thanks! ^_^

Your most devoted fans forever, Katherine and Vampire Kate

I absolutely LOVED this story. The charcters are all so well developed and the story line was so intruiging I was on the edge of my seat for updates. I thought you did an amazing job with the ending! Thanks for a truly great story =)

Wow! I love this story!! You are a really awesome writer!. I read the whole story today, and I am very impressed by how you depict Sesshoumaru to be loving to Kagome and still keep him in character. Fantastic Job! I would greatly appreciated if you let me know about your up-and-coming story. My email is : [email protected]. Keep up your excellent writing!

oh gosh... I'm sooo glad they got a happy end! and loads of (kids? pups?) offspring as well - you could write a short sequel about what happens to them!

anyway, I loved the ff - keep writing!!!

IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great story! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this very long, complex and delightful fic! What is next in the grand scheme of things? Can you give me a hint? Also, I'd like an update when you start your next story: my email address is: [email protected] . Once again -- great fic!

Congratulations dear girl! So VERY well deserved.

Sesshoumaru should have killed Takeo!! I don't trust him at all, sending Kagome off this way!! His telling Kagome that way is very suspect!! I hope the elemental water demon (I so do not remember his name) had better keep her safe!! I'm trusting that he'll keep his word to Kagome after she rescued his father's soul!! Thank you so much for the update!! I read it earlier, but only now got back to leaving you a review!! Sorry it took me so long!! Can't wait for more!!

I was finally able to catch up with my reading this weekend and couldn't not seem leave to computer alone till I was done reading, YOU ARE SO GIFTED in writing your stories, I was so hooked. I even started to get misty eyed when Kags gave the jewel to Sesshoumaru.(ohhhhh) Will Akiyama find his mate to be? I can't wait for the next chapter, sadly this one will finally come to a end, but will be looking forward to your next story!!!

*Sigh* I cannot believe that this adventure is coming to a close. Your story has been an incredible ride so far. I for one am incredibly glad that you have taken such time and care with the development of your story and it's characters. I cannot think of another fanfic writer that I enjoy more than you... Ok...all that aside, I can wax emotional after your last chapter..This one was great, you are tying up the ends rather nicely. And I really like that your Kagome understands that Sess will never be your typical "mate" he will never spout poetry or go on tirades of "I love yous". She understands and accepts, and in that you have captured true love. And the same for your Sess, he understands and accepts and shows his feelings in more than mere words. (btw I love that Sess used Kagome's name when explaining himself to her...nice touch there!!!)

I cannot wait to see how this final chapter plays itself out, with your final battle, and perhaps the story of Akiyama will finally see the light. I will not rush you for an update for once as I understand that this last labor of love for the story may take more time... Till then I will perfect my gift wrapping technique for demon boys and how to properly strategically place a bow...darn..I may have to spend hours perfecting the bow placement...Isn't that just awful? :) Seriously...part of me is so looking forward to the final chapter and part of me dreads to see the update...because that will mean it's over...Can you imagine that after all this time of begging for updates now I find myself loathe to do so...

update sooooooon !!!
-starts hyperventalating- pllllease !!!

oh my god!! the next chapter is the last?! really? wow...that's gonna be a long chapter! but i still can't believe it's gonna be the end. i'll miss this fic. can't wait for the showdown. are you gonna include a lemon in the chapter? not that it matters lol but considering how they were in the hot spring...well. either way i'll be looking forward to the end. by the way i'm not sure if there's something wrong w/my msn email since i haven't been getting the alerts you send for the new chapter if you actually have been sending me those, use my other email.

the last one....*cries* geee I kinda have a squishy feeling about the water dude....but then again I have that feelig about lots of ppl. GOod luck and it is a great great great story lol

Chelsea

Next one is the last chapter? I so like your story, one of the best ones I have ever read, it`s so sad that it ends....Finally. ^_^
There is still something strange with Akiyama... I hope he doesn`t betray Kagome....
Can`t wait for the next update!

O_O -! GAH! People desolving into water.>. ^_^ Nice bath scene btw. Oh and I wanted to say I actually saw a bird doing a courting dance, and almost died laughing thinking back to your fic.

A very good story.Minor mistakes in grammer in the later chapters,but otherwise,your characterisation,pacing and setting are good,as is your ploy.Congratulations.

However,might I recommend referring to wikipedia as a resource,as I find it useful in planning my own fictions.

she left the bracelet... i wonder what will happen, this was a great chapter and i really hope nothing happens to sesshou or kags

Excellent chapter. You have done such a great job on this story and I can hardly wait for your final installment.

Awaiting breathlessly for the continuation. *smiles*

WOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!?!?!? CH12 IS THE LAST CHAPTER!?!? holy cow nuts, that's crazy! It would be really cool if you did a fourth part. There's so much stuff you could fill that out with! xD

This chappter was a feast. Thank you for your notification about the update. That was realy nice. Hope you will update soon, please don't keep us waiting for to long.

Way to go sess... man if takeo disrespect me the way he did sess he wouldnt have worried about fighting in the war cause he would have been incapacited... i hope kags dont get too beat up... see ya at the next update... later

Woo great chappy loved it!! Cant wait for the update!! Does Kagome get captured? Because I know whats his name want to know about his mate that HE KILLED!!! So update soon because I'm not a very pacient persone unfortunately but I will wait till the ends of time for you update!! (or die trying....)

really? the next one is the end? can't wait then!!! hope you'll update soon and start new fic! i love simple legacy!

Yes! I knew it! I knew she was gonna do the crazy sneaky plan with the elemental youkai. :) That's just Kagome in a nut shell.
The sparks are really flying around Sesshoumaru and Kagome now, and I can't wait for them to get back from the battle. *mwahahahaa* But since this is only PG-13, I suppose you won't be too detailed about it. *cries*
Oh crap, I'm gonna be late for work now because I couldn't stop reading! XD *runs off*

haha! awwe! man i really don't want this story to end! a sequel to the trilogy i think? ah i am flattered that you like my ideas! :-D i am so worried about what will happen to kagome! she just has to come back alive though, because if she doesn't then she won't be able to enjoy that wekk long sex-plosion! lmao! well, if i was her i think i would have keeled over at the mention of being holed up in sesshoumaru's bedroom for a week... especially if he planned for the whole week to be filled with sex! lol, but i doubt he would have made it that far to tell me about the whole week-long-sex lol, i would have jumped his bones the moment he undressed! lol... well aside form my hornyness, i very much enjoyed this chapter! and, i still think that a chapter can never be too long! i still think akiyama is up to no good! he is just too... i dunno, but whatever it is he creeps me out! haha, serves takeo right for sending kagome out into danger! i think sesshoumaru should have killed him and then just revived him. but maybe he is saving that for if anything happens to her, that way he can torture him to death twice! lol.. ah cruelty at its finest, when performed by an incensed and vengeful lover! lol. i still can't get over the fact that the next chapter will be the last! i feel like a junkie who needs a hit... i wish it could go on forever, but i know it can't. unless you chronicled their entire life together if kagome lives, there wouldn't be very much to write on i'd think. unless you did the child-rearing? hmm i dunno, i like the way sesshoumaru was so gentle and eager! it was sweet, haha kagome was being a little vixen wasn't she? lol. :-) well i think that's all i wanted to say about the chapter.... my mind is drawing a blank, i'm sure it will come to me later and i will be mad that i forgot it! haha, but i loved the chapter, it definately hit the spot after having to sit through the second of four 8-hour NCLEX review sessions! ....i will, however, admit to not having listened to a single word the speaker has said though.. lol i have been studying my buns off for that final! lol well i need to cease my rambling before i type a novel lol, and thanks for the good luck! i need it lol! please update soon!

Please tell me you've written more fanfictions- this one is definetly bookmarked. Everytime I see it I get a feeling not unlike the one when I'm told "inservice day".

I'm so excited for the next chapter! Yay.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I kneeeeeeew it!! Sesshoumaru shoul've known better...I mean...its Kagome we are talking about and besides being selfless she would do anything to prove how much she is capable on doing!!!
Another thing....wow...i never thought that kagome would give the jewel to him as a courting gift! That was really a nice idea Elle!!
I cant waiiiittttt to read your next story where Akiyama is involved :grins: would it give Sesshoumaru more headache??? hahahaha...just joking!
And I hoooope you are making "A simple Legacy IV" riiiiiight????? cuz....that thing about next chapter being the last of the trilogy.....i didnt like!!!!! I hope you update soon!!!!!!! :D:D:D

Oh my!! This chapter was wonderful with all of the chaotic happenings and tension between Kagome and Sesshomaru. Inuyasha has definately matured and it shows....I wonder when he's going to mate Moriko too. Aww...I would have picked to stay with Sesshy too in the end. I think Kagome made the right decision to stay...and I'm glad she didn't accidently fall into the well too. *nods head* The part with Kagome and Sesshy in the hot springs was very yummy. I can't wait until they mate too!! *grins* Geeze Kagome....she always doesn't listen to Sesshomaru. Oh well..it totally makes this wonderful story better. I can't believe the next chapter will be the last one though....I'm sad but happy at the same time. Update again soon!! :D

Only one more chappie?! Oh no! I'm gonna miss this fic. *Sniffle* I wonder what all happens during the battle?..... I'm so happy that things are going good for kag and sess ^_^

yeah, hahaha. i tend to get excited. haha. well, great chapter!! i have a request though! i'm moving, so i'm not going to have internet, so please please don't make me wait 3 weeks for the next chapter!!

I love it!!! You are such a great writer. I can't believe this trilogy is almost done. Please update soon.

Normally I don't approve of him punishing her, but her single- mindedness is bridging on outright stupidity and recklessness. I hope it's fitting, like assigning her to do something that will bore her out of her mind. Or making her repeatedly swear to obey him in order to get something she will /really/ want at the time. (suggestive grin) As for the idiots who encouraged her, they're fair game.

This was a great chapter. I was sad that it was over. It was getting too good. I can't believe we just have one more chapter left. It better be hella long! LOL "P I really enjoyed reading this trilogy and I look forward to reading the last chapter to see how everything ends up.

Whoa there Nellie ... oops, I mean, Elle!! What do you mean the next chapter will be the LAST? Now I'm really scratching my head, wondering how you're gonna fit all that into ONE chapter. Or, are you going to do something really sneaky, like create a whole 'nuther fic to take care of all the loose ends?

I mean, c'mon! Akiyama's missing fiancee, Inu & Moriko's courtship, Kags and Sesshy's mating, the 'battle;' that's a WHOLE lot of stuff to cram into one chapter, don't you think? I s'pose you could do it, but you've been so very careful to let things develop slowly over the course of this trilogy, I can't see you suddenly throwing all that to the four winds. Hmmm ... methinks there is something tricksssy going on here, preciousssss!

Not only that, but we have to wait until the WEEKEND to find out what? Ah well, the course of fan fiction reading, like true love [paraphrasing the esteemed Bard of Avon], never does run smoothly, does it?

Yuppers, Sesshy is gonna be PISSED if Kags gets so much as a scratch on her. Given the elements at play (and not just the 'elementals!'), scratches are the least of what might befall our intrepid heroine, ne? As always, I can hardly wait!
:D
~~Wiccan~~

I am decided sad that Kags may never be able to visit her time again, but equally, she made a choice for love and in trust she bestowed the ultimate gift to Sesshoumaru, and that counts for a hell of a lot. It was a selfless gift, beautiful and he showed the right level of appreciation. I do love their springs scene, and her little finger poking said chest lol. I imagined her facial expression and his amusement made me laugh tremendously. Nice segway.

Ooooooooooooh I am looking forward to the fight, you write great action sequences! So I have that to look forward to, and GET OUT OF TOWN but Inuyasha is being all responsible and appreciative of his heritage, even if he has to feign disdain whilst doing it. I am liking the subtle fidelity to family that is going on between both brothers. I wonder what The Big Dog is going to suggest to the cute earred ill tempered pup for a courting gift for his lady? Fascinating. Everything moving to a rather wonderful conclusion. So bring on the fighting, the loving and all things feudal woman! Well done, and yes, it is long, but I love those chapters best. One of the supreme joys to your updates is doing a quick scroll and realizing you have a nice long read ahead of you. You settle your butt in, put a smile on your face and stick your ipod in your ear set the lights just so and reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaad! BRAVISSIMA!

I hate Takeo!! He's sneaky and a horrible youkai. What a great character you made! ^_^ (I hope they beat the living crap out of him either way though. He deserves it after all the stuff he pulled)

Anyways, I can't believe this is the second to last chapter! 1) Are we going to witness Sesshoumaru and Kagome's mating? So much sexual tension building up in this chapter! 2) Will we see some brotherly bonding between Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha For Moriko's mating gift. That would be sweet. 3) BATTLE SCENE!!!

I can't wait for the next installment. I think waiting for a week for this next undefineable chapter WILL be worth it! ^_^

OH MY GOD!!!! --dies-- OMG HURRY!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!!! I have a very bad felling about this... she took of the gift from Sesshoumaru! No good! Im very scared! Please don't hurt Kagome, and don't let Sesshoumaru be upset because she is hurt!!! Oh and please make sure Kagome and Sesshoumaru fulfill their mating, it's only right!
Love the story! And Love you! Can I have bare your children for you? :D

What? The next chapter is the last one? How could that be?

aargh! that's all i can say at the moment. well that and awesome job! can't wait for the last one. ^_^

Oi Oi Oi! So that was a really awesome chapter in the story. You amaze me how badly you can make me want another update as soon as I finish reading the last update. Do you add addicting stuff like the fires at mcdonalds? I bet you do!! Is it weird that I don't totally trust Akiyama? Since he entered into the story I've felt like he's been hiding something. I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve though! Thank you for the wonderful update!!

I loved it! Truly! ONLY two more chapters!!?!?!? I dont want it to end! Are you going to do a prequel? If not, i'll tell Sesshoumaru and . . and . . he'll murder you! Like he was about to do to Takeo. . . . . 10 out of 10 for this chapter!! A courting present . . . the jewel!? Lots of trust is given to these two. I appreciated the long chapter, as well. :] The longer the better, I think!

I have to ask . . . is this all down on paper? You seem to already know whats going to happen and stuff . . . . :]

I really want lots and lots more, and soon. PLease! SOON! Sooons! SOOOOOON! I lust for the next chapter!!!

Man Its Comin To An End Soo Soon!!! Tear!!! I Cant Wait To See Wuts Goin Ta Happen Next!!!

I was checking my e-mail all day long for this chapter. I was doing a happy dance when I saw the e-mail in the inbox.

Good chapter. It's going to be sad next chapter because it's going to end. It will be happy though, because it's going to end. If that makes any sense.

Oh Kagome, why do you insist on ticking Sesshoumaru off? *grins*

I can't believe we are coming to the end of such a epic adventure. To say that this story will forever go down as one of my personal favorites would be an understatement....Thank you for such a great adventure.....

Mel

wow that was so intense

AHHHHH!! Omg omg omg omg omg OMG!!

*stares at screen* OMG!!!

I really don't know what to say......I can't believe it. This is amazing. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALMOST OVER!! WAHH! *cries*

What is Kagome thinking???? Throwing herself into danger like that.....but still, it would make things a heck of a lot easier...but it's still a bad idea in my opinion. XD
Aww! More SessKag fluffy-ness!! *melts into a puddle of goo* lol! I loved it.....AMAZING chapter!!

I liked the hot-spring scene......heh heh ^_^ That was awesome.
Will you be writing a little side-thingy with the actual mating in it like you did with Simply Hard? I hope so. XD And if you don't....I wonder how you're going to write it....hmm...^^

Ahh....you turned my brain into mush...I can hardly think straight....XD

Update soon! But oh man, I don't want the story to be over...but then again, I can't wait to see what's happening next! Ahh!

*hugs* XD

Sigh....so good! *does a strange happy dance that should be deemed hazardous to those around her* Haha, man, I can't wait to see what happens...um...Kagome's not going to get captured...is she!??!
T-T sigh...this waiting thing suck.
Okay, well, thanks for yet another wonderful chapter ^_^ it was awsome!

Oh my God!! I can't believe you ended this chapter that way...As always I am completely enthralled by your story. I can not wait to find out what happens to Kags once she puts together the jewel.

Ooh, the last shard! I had forgotten about that, lol! I was starting to think that it was the well that had been somehow activated again. It'll be interesting to hear about how they found the last shard... :)

Wow! Nice. Can't wait for the next chapter.

A little cliffy my left tush! I dropped a penny 10 minutes ago and it still hasn’t hit the bottom! I can hear it whistling through the air as we speak. *grumble grumble* Lol, but I definitely can’t wait for your next update. This chapter opened up so many possible roads that the story could take and my eyes are @_@ just thinking about it. Hurry, please?*gives famous puppy dog eyes with added bonus of quivering lip* Chow^^
~Chaos

That was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it , great amazing chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it , great amazing chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it , great amazing chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! What an amazing chapter....*gapes* I can't believe how good this story is getting! What? Only 2 chapters left????! NO, it can't end yet...it's getting really REALLY good!!! *pouts*
I bet you're relieved, huh? XD

Wait a minute...*rereads your reply to my review* Whoa whoa whoa!! What did I say, what did I say!?!?!? No, no I'm not leaning towards Akiyama...whatever I said....forget it...*sweatdrops* XD I'm SessKag all the way!! ^_^
But anyway...what happened to his mate-to-be was really sad! Poor Akiyama! But, that was so sweet that all he wanted was to free his father. Aww! ^_^

I am so so so soooo glad that Kagome and Sesshomaru FINALLY had a little talk!!!! It's about time!! XD I am relieved that now everything is understood and the relationship can keep progressing. *giggles happily* ^_^

Yay!! The last shard has FINALLY been found!!! *does happy dance* I can't wait to see where it was! ^_^

Update soon! =P

-GASP- THE LAST SHARD! I totally forgot about that! I really hope Akiyama doesn't intend to betray them D: I really like that char, and he seems pretty cool. Kagome would probably kick his butt if did betray them xD

Oh, this was sooo great!! The scene between Kagome Und Sesshomaru..absolutly great!! Soo sweet.. and how he "wants" to tell her, aned, and, and ... =)
And finally the last shard is found! Great!
But what is it with Akyama? I'm curios..what his secret is....^^
I absolutly looove your story!! =)

love the story and hope to see more chapters

love the story and hope to see more chapters

Man...i just loooove Akiyama!!! He would've made a great opponent for kagome's feelings but im just waiting to see if he gets his fiancee back...which im imagining who has her :P
I hope Takeo tells Kagome his plan for her and Akiyama...i looove it when she goes against Sesshoumaru...and her being the kind of creature she is, i dont think she will say no to his plan...i think she would even go behind sesshoumaru's back if he doesnt let her!! This is getting more interesting and since the end its getting near im sooo anxious!! :D
Hope u update soon!!! :D

*gives her characteristic scowl* you are bound and determined to kill my computer aren't you? cliffies are evil little things! lol, well despite the evil cliffie, i still enjoyed the very jealous-filled and sesshy-glazed chapter you cooked up for us! i think akiyama is some kind of rogue prince trying to get back his kingdoms.... maybe the war isn't over? lol i haven't the slightest clue, but he's definately up to something! hmmm, i also had the inkling of an idea that he was trying to steal kagome's powers using that conch! but hmm, he did something just as wierd. i wonder who was really in that shell? i don't think that his father, if its his father, was put there by his own doings... maybe father/son treachery is afoot? lmao... well aside form my scheming, i think the whole chaoter went amazing! ...and no, chapters can never be too long! lol they are just more jelly for the toast when they are extra long and explicative! lol, but maybe that's just me? haha.. awwe! poor sesshy he was struggling trying to tell her that he loves her! and hmm i think our dear dog has an affinity for child rearing! he's definately taken shippou under his wing! well... i can't really think of anything else i wanted to comment on... except about the jewel shard... wonder what's going on there? and is akiyama in leage with the evil kitty? haha i remind myself of some old western series! ahem.. tune in next week to find out if sally-sue gets rescued from the evil clutches of one-eyed-billy! dun dun dun dunnn! ....ah haha hmm yeah.... ANYWAYS! i think i need to go to bed on that note! my insanity has definately reached an all time high... yesh..i think it hash. well i loved the chapter and please update soon! p.s. i got arthritis.. not from that!! *secretly wonders if elle is one of her neighbors in gutter-ville* ..yeap i have a permanent address, lol. but i have carpel tunnel from one, typing way too much and two, from writing wayyyy too many notes for nursing school! lol i think they are trying to make our arms fall off! ... and at the moment i am trying to pray to every known diety, etc. that i pass my two classes so i can graduate! i'm not quite passing either right now, i am so burn!t-out i failed both tests this week! :-( bleh! but ah... i am only failing by like 0.21 points! not even a whole point! yaya! haha but still the pressure to make a 76 and 78 on the finals is killing me.. slowly! i think that is their ultimate goal to slowly destroy our fwagile widdle minds! heh... well enough about my hissy-causing worries... i need to go to sleep ( and stop my endless rambling i am prone to doing when i'm tired lol) and wait for this wonderful stress reliever you provide everytime you update! so please update soon!

YAY!

I think you're evil, totally rotten evil...that's what I think! And I think that shard has something to do with the rebuilding of the well. Anyhow, I'll be waiting (im)patiently for the next installment. :)

M S Cascata

Jealous Sesshoumaru is so adorable. ^__^ I loved it! I wonder what Kagome will ending up getting Sesshoumaru as her present to him...and I wonder whose side Akiyama is truly on. Wow though, talk about a surprise ending to the chapter; I'd almost forgotten about the darned thing! Can't wait to see what's next!

Of course I can forgive you I don't really expect you to fulfill my sad sad pleads for more! Plus I really can' t complain because your so amazing about updating. You do so on a regular basis annnnd your chapters are lengthy and yummy and really fricken awesome! Now where you left off with this one WAS a horrible cliffy so ermmm update tomorrow? I say you should quit your job and just write for me. If only I were rich then maybe I could bribe you into updates! That way you wouldn't have to work just update this fanfiction! I haven't mentioned this before but I really love how Shippo is growing up. A lot of fanfictions address the kit however they don't really go into why hes so small and they certainly almost never go into his development. I would love to see him when hes a well trained warrior, that tricky little thing is sure to wreck havoc on the world! Especially is Sess sees to his training! Keep up the good work love! I can't wait till the next update. (More soooooon please? >. )

Fun! Another chapter done. Sesshoumaru and his jealousy can be amusing sometimes.

Aww, you're making my Akiyama sound like he's doing something wrong. Oh well, I had a feeling that he wasn't telling everything straight out anyway.

Nice brief history for the war on the elementals. I would have done the same thing because I'm just lazy that way sometimes when it comes to telling about past events. Well, we all know what happened, at least generally.

I have recommended your story to two of my friends to read. I don't know if one of them is going to read it, but the other should and I told her to review. So hopefuly you will be getting a new reviewer soon.

What? Not another cliffhanger? You wouldn't do that again? Would you? Please, please come back and update!! I can't wait for more!! I'm so glad that Sesshomaru isn't going to let her go alone into that dangerous lord's castle alone!!

WOW! Its a cliffie, but I am sort of glad. At the moment my eyes are unallowing me to read pixels. My glassed dont help when it comes to that. THE LAST SHARD!? Wow . . . . what's InuYasha going to do to it? Is he going to use it so he can become full demon? Or will something stop him? Perhaps Kagome will use it to become full demon for Sesshoumaru. I really look forward to it! I wish to a good night [ its night here ] and nighty nigh! GREAT chapter! I love Kagome and Sesshoumaru's closeness. :P

hummm, i wonder, pretty huge cliffie there, loved the chapter great as always :)

All I can say is WOW! What a jam packed, thoroughly interesting chapter. YOU COVERED SO MUCH GROUND. I love it. Some things resolved, some new happenings and all leading towards a big old DONNYBROOK and much needed lovin hehehehe. I did tell you I am a hentai at heart right? Well now you know. I love it. REALLY GOOD CHAPTER! You seamlessly integrated the onging development of Inuyasha's courtship, Sesshoumaru and Kagome's growing closeness, Kagome's extended family meaning Miroku and Sango and the continued growth and maturity of Shippo and of course, my Elemental youkai, who I have grown rather attached to.I have faith he is not a baddy, I hope he finds his lady love. Oh and looking forward to how the little watery espionage takes place and all the emotional turmoil ...LOVELY! I really really liked this chapter!

I think your chapters are getting better and better. I think this one of the best chapters yet. I like that fact that you addressed and gave indo on the water youki but still keep living us in the dark! "P I am glad to see Sess losing up and what is it with you and these cliffies? You have a sick sense of humor! LOL "P Until next chapter!

*jaws drops and she starts to shake the computer screen, begging it to give her more* T-T how terrible, now I'm gonna be all twitchy waiting for what comes naxt! Haha, no, it was really good (again) and I can't wait for more! Yay! They're officially courting ^_^ muhahaha, I love it!

Wow, good chapter! I still can't wait to see what 'courting gift' Kagome might grace Sesshomaru with, uf she is going to do so. And Sango and Miroku found the last shard, eh? Funny, I was kind of thinking that perhaps Sesshomaru had kept the last shard himself, as a way to influence Kagome somehow. Guess I was wrong! LOL. Kepp up the great work. ;)

NO NO NO NO NO!!! HOW COULD U DO THAT!!! OMG!!! NOW THAT WAS A HORRIBLE CLIFFIE IMA BE THINKING BOUT THIS STORI UNTIL U UPDATE WHICH I HOPE IS VERY VERY VERY SOON!!!

Aww....I felt sorry for Akiyama about his past. That would be terrible if the person you were engaged to dissipeared. I wonder if he will ever find her again...hmmmm. Sesshy to the rescue!! Yay!!....to bad that he didn't really need to save her from anything. Oh well...it's the thought that counts. I wonder if there is something that Akiyama is hiding from Sesshomaru and Kagome. Hopefully not....he seems so nice. I'm glad that Sango and Miroku found the last jewel shard as well. That totally is a huge clue that this wonderful story is almost over....I'm sort of sad about that though. Update again soon....I wonder what Sesshy's reaction will be to Kagome telling him about the shard!! :D

awesome chapter but now i'm sitting here wondering what's going to happen next. oh well. anyways i loved it and keep your wonderful stories coming. ^_^

YAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! *jumps around* I'm so happy they finally got thing out in the open...... It's gonne be over soon!?! *sniffles* awwwww mr.fluffy was jealous! so cute!!! >=) I'M GONNA EAT HIM! So, is Kagome ever gonna be able to go back to her time, or is she stuck there for good? What about Akiyama's mate? >> I'm gonna shut up now. But , i have to say one more thing. Your. A-m-a-z-i-n-g. XD I HAD COFFEE AND I'M HYPER AND NOW I WANNA COVER MR. FLUFFY IN SUGAR AND EAT HIM.
BYE! Keep rocking! (i'm so lame XD)

Ok, I'm hooked (like I wasn't before?) ... and now a cliffhanger. What is it with everyone and the cliffhangers this weekend?? Ah well, at least this is only a little one, RIGHT?

So, *ponders possibilities* this is really going to make a difference, isn't it? Any chance to get some Kag/Sess fluffiness before the WAR? All my fave authors seem to have left me with no warm fuzzies this weekend ... *pouts*

Oh well, I loved the way Akiyama managed to dry up the bad guys - and I get the sinking feeling that he's gonna be stuck dragging Kags into the bad guy's lair, isn't he? Poor dude ... Sess isn't gonna like that one iota!!!

Thanks for an entertaining chapter, and the backstory to Akiyama's betrothed. I'm betting they find her in all this mess too, won't they? I'll be eagerly awaiting the next update!
[email protected]
:D
~~Wiccan~~

bah! *scowls* that was just mean..... you could have included the whole akiyama thing too!! lol, :-D well i loved it anyways! haha, man sesshoumaru needs to kick some water jutsu-using demon's ass! lmao, i think kagome will be very appalled at the idea of akiyama asking her what i think he is going to ask her! but, ah... hmm i think inuyasha definately made the point clear to his dear brother! i supposes the one way of getting what kagome needs to hear out of the demon is to make him think he is fighting a loosing battle for her affections. and i am so happy inuyasha came around to explain some things! poor kagome had me confused! lol, but hmm sesshoumaru is spared that trip to miroku and sango... which i must say says very much about how much he actually cares about the girl! hell he's willing to go seeking information from humans about mating a human miko! lol well, i think my poor frozen and stiff fingers have had all they can take, i seriously need to take that arthritis medicine! bah! 21 with arthritis in my fingers! i have spent wayyyy too much time typing in my life. haha, well.. anyways! please update soon! .... oh! almost forgot, the scene in kagome's room after she got the bracelet was hot! lol, i think if i was in kagome's shoes... poor sesshy would have been long since vandalized though. kagome sure has some self-restraint i can give her that! i can't say the same for sesshoumaru though, i think his hold on his jealousy and possessiveness is going to fly out the window when he finds kagome and akiyama! lol, well please update soon!

LOL i luv that those last scenes between inu n sesshou! i guess considering how often inuyasha has been told that he's wrong, he can't help but celebrate the fact that he was right on something. i think it was an added bonus that sesshoumaru was in the wrong. but i think it's sweet and devious of him with what he's trying to do. and i like that kagome was enlightened as to what sesshoumaru's intentions are. don't want to make things more difficult for our couple now do we? well, at least i don't. and akiyama is back. can't wait to find out what this secret he's hiding and of course the confrontation that's going to happen. i'm sure how ever way it's going to turn out someone's going away grumpy. lol

Hahaha, I loved that last part of the chapter! Poor Sesshoumaru being jealous. XD Maybe that water youkai is after Kagome after all? Seeing as he didn't like the mention of being promised to someone else.
Can't wait for your next update!

How could you leave such a cliffy?!?!?!??!?!? I mean gosh are you trying to kill me???? I must admit though This just keeps getting better and better

This was a cute chapter. Sess is finally showing his jealousy. I can hardly wait for the next chapter.

Great job :)

finally inuyasha got one over his 'perfect' brother..and i was laughing with him. this is another great chappie, i hope you'll update asap..

WOW! Amazing chapter. The affection Sesshoumaru feels for Kagome is strong . . and visy versy as well! Hope to hear from you soon, PLEASE update as soon as you can. I cant waiting, it's almost unbearable.

-Princess Zelda

Hahahaha! Poor Sesshy! One of these days he'll forget about the pole up his butt. I'm really curious about Akiyama now. Who is he promised to? Curiosity is going to kill me till you update. ^-^ Can't wait to read the next chapter.

OMG...love this chapter!!!Sesshoumaru has fallen so hard for Kagome. Please update again soon. I can't wait to read the next chapter.

OMG!!! This is getting better every chapter, and holy cow, I can't wait till sesshoumaru confronts Akiyama, this is gonna be hilarious. I'm at my school library reading this, and I kept laughing out loud and stuff, keep up teh great writing! :D

Hn....

I wonder at the following:

“Akiyama is promised to an old friend of mine,” Moriko supplied.

Inuyasha relaxed a little while Akiyama suddenly looked uneasy.

What gives?

Stop whatever it is you are doing young Miss! Inquiring minds want to know, please please update soon...!

Oh, I LOVE it! InuYasha finally got one over on Sesshomaru! I can just picture him rolling on the ground at the thought of his prissy brother head-over-heels for our poor Kagome and not having a clue how to go about letting her know! Akiyama better watch out; he's got one pissed off dog demon coming his way! Ha-ha! I can't wait to see how that goes!

^_^ Aw..I love this chapter. Inu yasha actually got to taunt him and not die.

Love it! Sesshoumaru gealouse! hi hi hi! I can hardly wait to see what is he going to do.

another great chap.. keep up the good work

I SMELL A BATTLE COMING ON ... And I Dont Trust That Elemental Demon Somethin About Him Bothers Me But Mayb Im Wrong ... Update Soon Please!!!

Well only two phrases comes to my mind about the next chapter.

"This should be interesting."

and

"Akiyama better run."

That's pretty much all my brain can think of right now at 11:33pm. I'm off to go read some manga when I should be sleeping.

all i can say is HURRAH!!!!! i literally can not wait for the next chapter!

I am oving how things are working out, but somehow I always saw Akiyama as an evil sort of person in. but then again the story is not over he could remain as he is or turn out to be a valuable ally in the end or just be one of the enemy in their camp.so many possibilities but only the author desides and thank god for that, if it were up to me things would go all wrong.

Awww, Sessh is jealous and Inu's loving every minute of it ... *snicker* I'll bet you enjoyed the heck out of writing this chapter, didn't you? I mean, doesn't it seem like a royal pain to constantly have to write a character as complex as Sessh ... especially when he has to be a ROYAL PAIN? Then you have to backtrack to explain his 'Royal Demon Snootiness;' makes my fingers hurt just thinking about all that typing!

Anyway, thanks for brightening things for me today. With the awful news from Virginia and having a daughter attending college (closer to home, thank heavens), I had a hard time finding much of anything to lift the mood. Your update helped ENORMOUSLY!! Thank you!
:)
~~Wiccan~~

Another great chapter.
I cant wait for the next one. =]

Wow. Sesshomaru gave Kagome a very beautiful gift, which is one step closer to finishing the courting between them. Yay!!...I'm so happy for them. I'm glad that Sesshy let down his emotional barrier for a bit so Kagome could feel his emotions too. I bet I'd be in a wonderful daze too if Sesshy kissed me like he did Kagome. Lucky girl....just doesn't know how lucky yet. Ahh!!...Akiyama is there too!! Heheh...Sesshy was so worried about Kagome visiting him and stuff. Hmm...Inuyasha finally comes back into the story a little bit. I'm glad that he helps Kagome realize some things about Sesshomaru and their relationship. I wonder what she is going to give him....hmhmm. Wow. Kagome didn't listen to Sesshy's orders again...I wonder if she'll be punished for that. Oh well. I hope Sesshy finds Kagome and Akiyama on the walk they went on. I hope that Akiyama didn't try to pull anything on Kagome as well...that would be terrible. Atleast Sesshy will save her....hopefully. I found Inuyasha's taunting of Sesshomaru's jealousy funny too. He did 'tell them so' though. Update again soon and keep up the fantastic work.

Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh Elle

*squeals and snickers with delightful mischievousness*

You wicked wicked author you. I LOVE IT.

First, a lovely little bit of temperature raising with Sesshoumaru lowering his emotional barrier and Kagome’s fulsome reaction, very nice indeed. I also like the order of emotions displayed by our cool, sexy aristocrat…Pride, Affection, Desire and Possessiveness…by any other definition…LOVE. The problem is…Kagome cannot read it for what is intrinsic to the sharing of those very emotions. Love is not possible without all those. Nice and subtle

Yet, he who is cast as sage and “Dear Abby” of this piece InuMoutha is the one to clarify for Kags just what is going on. LOL. I particularly like that bit. His goading of Sesshoumaru is even better and priceless LOLOL! Nicely done. For once, I totally don’t want to bitch slap InuYasha but instead be a fly on the wall snickering at Fluffy.

Oh and that Sexy Elemental falls nicely into the goading ….woooooooooooof….

Every time Sesshoumaru sees him, his sphincter clenchs *Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off*! I love it. GOOD! The subtle manner of his passive aggression to Sesshoumaru is just pppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeerfect! Better yet, nothing the sexy TaiYoukai can do about it…. or can he? Best hurry and attempt to sent mark your property…if you can find the happy duo walking and talking in an amicable carefree manner..perhaps that water drop on his forehead should prove just too enticing to not touch again…hehehehehe RIGHT before Sesshy is able to stop her form doing so.

Okay, I am a bitch, but I think it is a good thing for Sesshy to be put through his paces. He is too use to those about him quivering at his very presence. His mate, SHOULD NEVER do so. When she gives in…it must be RIGHT…and appropriate and never out of fear, but out of affection, desire, possession and complete equity…oh and cause well…lets not kid ourselves..THE BIG DOG IS HOT!

Okay, after all this. I just want to say…THANK YOU! I read this on the way home and laughed a lot, and loved it a lot. FANTASTIC JOB!

P.S. Thanks for Kouga as well, I always love a good dose of Mr Unrequited Lupine! He is hysterical!

mmmwwwwhhhaaa soo in love with this story. I've been itching to see this romance play out and am empressed with each chapter. It just gets better and better..like the energizer bunny.. keeping on writing!! I don't want this to end..more plots more plots..because this is the best Sesshoumaru & Kagome depiction. Love it!

Wooh, review!...In like ages :D

Ahem, yes...I have only one thought to this plot you're weaving, and I have to say it's almost dasterdly (is that even a word?)

But it's just a theory, and here it is:
Akiyama is a Rouge for ebil kitty man (cant remember how to spell Ryoukosen...oh wait.. xD)
And his ruse is befriending the oh so innocent Kagome (Not for long, go Sess you horndog!) Ahem, and then finding a way to lead her away from the watchful eye of the Western Lord. Badda bing badda boom. One Miko a la carte to Mr. Ebil Kitty. (Oh yeah, stick to the whole gaining her trust thinger...)

And I am pleased to say, the pawn is melted so screw it ^^.

Hope you had a fun spring break...if it exists for you..or if it is still to come.

Bring on the next chappie, and as always, keep on truckin'.

What a chapter! So much happened! Kagome finally realized her feelings! And Inuyasha acting as a relationship counsellor to Kagome and Sesshomaru was just too amusing. Now I want to find out about Akiyama's past! It's okay that your updates is a day late-you keep your updates consistent, so that makes us all happy.

Ooh!! Poor Akiyama! He's in for it now, and he doesn't even deserve it! XD I looved the part where Inuyasha was teasing Sesshomaru...that was hilarious!! rotfl!

lol, poor Kagome..she's just so confused! I would be too, though...he isn't being very clear. I probably would have taken his absence the same way she did. Not in the way he intended it. But still, seeing it from Sesshomaru's POV, what he did does make sense......but he should've let her know why he left her alone like that.....^^

I can't WAIT to see how this turns out....I wonder how Akiyama will handle a furious taiyoukai?? XD And I wonder if Kagome will ever get the answer she wants? ^^ I kinda doubt it...but, who knows? He might actually find out he does love her and tell her so...3 3 3

HonouTenshi ;P

I love this story hope there are more chapters to come

Girl, I really enjoyed this chapter. I was laughing a lot. It is so funny what jealousy can do to a person. It serves him right. It will be interesting to see the confrontation between the two males.

*pouts* but but buttttttttttt....please more? Oh this is Megan btw. I finally actually signed onto my account! Anyway I send this review in hopes that it will prompt you to write more more more and post it in ten minutes so that I can read it and be happy dear. That was a pretty damn climatic place to leave the story and yoooou know it. So as a treat to your loyal readers you should totally write a new chapter for tomorrow. It would make me love you!

I've been following this story since since the 5th chapter of part 1! i love it, very well thought out! ::claps wildly::

Yipee...another update...I love the way you are handling their feelings for each other...the course of true love never did run smooth!! Heee hee...and the fact that Inuyasha gets to take some delight in Sess's discomfort is truly rewarding. Not that I don't love the Ice Prince but it is nice to see him sweat...droplets of sweat flowing down a nicely sculpted chest...umm yeah, need to stop now.. I am so curious though as to Akiyama's story...there seems to be some great plots twists to be had with that one... Hurry and update soon!!! Till then I will have to satisfy myself by re-reading your great fic from beginning to end!!!

Great chapter! I hope Sesshomaru starts talkin' soon! Silly youkai. Thanks for updating so regularly! I love this story. :)

Fabulous update!! I just love when Sesshomaru's jealous!! I just hope that Kagome doesn't make a mistake with the water demon!! Kagome needs to be with Sesshomaru!! Please!! Thank you so much for this story!! Can't wait for the next chapter!!

Ha Ha!! Kags should give sess a piece of her mind for courting her when she doesn't know whats going on... If he would have explained it to her when she asked about inu mating rituals he wouldn't have been in such deep crap with her that he is now... LOL.. but we shall see how this turns out... see you at the next update... LATER!!

Ah we just love this story so much!!! We voted for you like a bunch of times to win!!!!!! Its a really great story and we cant wait till you update

Ah! That was wonderful. Can't wait to see how this all ends.

*does a happy dance* That was AWSOME!! ^.^ I loved it, Inuyasha is so funny! Haha, I can't wait for the next chapter, thanks!

WONDERFUL!!!! Hes jealous!! I loooooove to see him this way! Every time he gets this way i imagine him seeing red...with passion, fury, jealousy.... ::sigh:: he can be sooo possessive but its in his nature so i wouldnt argue if i was Kagome!
It helped that you are using Akiyama (whom i imagine is in the same range in the looks department as Sesshoumaru) as the one who pushes him into jealousy mode!! I cant waaaaaait to read more!!!!

I seriously don't know what to say. THis chapter rocked! In fact that was insignificant to how awesome this chap really was. Man Sesshy sure is a passionate inuyoukai. Lucky Kagome! I hope you make some one for your elemental youkai. He's to nice to end up alone. Can't wait for the next chappie!

You are so evil!

I like it so much. I read your whole story in about 12 h (continous :) ) and I can't wait until you post the next chapter. Please continue the good work.

wow you updated so quickly! ^_^ I loved the whhole stalking scene and mass confusion. poor kagome. I hope things get cleared up soon.

you know i was thinking....sesshoumaru is used to having females run, but usually it's towards him - not away from him! lol but i gotta give it to sesshoumaru. i would've thought he would continue the denial game. but i love how he was so calm and rational about realizing that he actually wants kagome. i enjoyed reading sesshoumaru's thought process. very impressive. it's funny how kagome doubts sesshoumaru's intentions although can't really blame her. makes sense. but things has gotten more interesting with sesshoumaru on the prowl! any what happened to that elemental youkai. considering the time you gave him he's gotta show up again.

I've waited all week to catch up on this fic because my computer decided to die on Good Friday. Nice bit of irony there, eh? But finally, I have access to a 'puter, and let me tell you:

It was worth the wait.

Absolutely amazing chapters. God bless Sesshoumaru for FINALLY listening to our advice!!! Sheesh! I can't wait to read more of this splendid, splendid fic.

And I wouldn't doubt it if Kouga was a distant cousin on Izayoi's side of the fam. He is into humans after all. Perhaps there were some little wolf hanyou's in a not so recent past? But I digress...

Loved it, as always!

I am dead tired right now because I was reading this fic all afternoon yesterday, pulled a complete all nighter reading it, went to work today, came home and continued reading. And wow. It was totally worth it. I *love* this fic--I was grinning through whole chapters (especially the futon scene!). You do a great realistic portrayal of Sesshoumaru, and of their interactions--finally, a fic that takes *time* to develop the relationship! I especially appreciate that you devoted so much time to having them come to respect and trust each other--the foundations of a real relationship--*before* they became attracted.

So, thank you for writing such a fantastically awesome fic! I can't wait to see what happens now that Sess has finally stopped denying himself. >:D

Wow!!! I loved it! I'm not sure whom I fear most, a fierce Sesshomaru or this new one. Is he stubbornly going to make Kagome accept him? I really am enjoying this story!!

fast updates make me happy

I Continue To Love This Stori More And More ... Its Jus Tha Shyt ... I Cant Wait To See Wuts Goin To Happen Next ... PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!

Im so excited the Sesshoumaru and Kagome have finally figured out that they like each other
& I cant wait for the "courting"
Keep up the good work. I love this story. =]

Well, at least I HOPE things steam up, rofl. :DDD

You're doing a great job elle :D

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaw!!!!! Another chappie! Can't wait for the next, when things steam up! >D

HAH! Sess didn't fight it. He's got a lot more years of maturity on Kagome, that's for sure...I still hope they have youkai pups. Hanyou are unstable and annoying.

Geez...Kags need to get over herself and just let Sess court her for crying out loud. I mean she might as well admit her feelings and move on. She's always taking chances with her life in battles, so what's the harm in taking a chance with her heart and feelings. Can she not see the bigger picture here or is she playing the part of a dunce?

Oh well...I loved the chapter anyway and I think it's great. Update soon...please!!!

Great job :)

I absolutly LOVE this story! I'm in the edge of my seat, waiting for the next chapter. I truly enjoy reading this story.

Sincerely ,
Waddayaknow

I loved this part "The corner of his lips tilted.

This hunt would be different from the others.

In this hunt, he would be pursuing his future mate. "

hehe it's beautiful!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!! you have to update sooner, curiosity is killing me......

hmm i wonder what will happen next?? it's about damn time that dog got his bones in a row and realized he was falling for her! jeebus! they are some dense folks! lol. well, i liked this chapter, it was progressive, but slow.. i like that! it makes it last longer and you get more of the nitty gritty that lets you really get into what's going on and such. but anyways! im half asleep... so not much to ramble about tonight! haha, aside from the fact that i really hope you update soon! :-D *offers cookies shaped like sesshy* c'mon... update you know u wanna! lol! well, no it wasn't a cliffie... more or less the end of a chapter... i didn't get the urge to shake my laptop... lol i hate those books that are the series that each ends in a cliffie so you have to go buy the next one... i never collect the whole series because i get so mad at the books i end up destroying them... lol... ah tempers have to be vented somewheres.. why not sappy romance series novels? lol well, ah update soon i'm still loving this fic!

aaAAAAAHL!!!! so kawaii!!^__^
i seriously loved this chp. and i could not help but laugh at Sesshou's "predatorial" advance with Kags. I so loved this line most of all:

"He was frightening when he was like this."

Ha, ha, ha!!!!
thank u so much! and keep up the awesome, awesome job!!!! ^_~

wow ::blushes:: a predator Sesshoumaru! I get excited/nervous/anxious/aroused all in one chapter!!!! Poor Kagome...shes wont know what hit her!!! I see many nights without any sleep for her :P
Cant wait for ur next chappie!!!
ooooh...and CONGRATS for your nomination!!!!!!! Ill be voting for you without a doubt :D

Duuudeett~! I'm followed this fanfic since it's early ages, and now that it's in the golden stage. Words seem to escape me on how you update with such lengthly chapters! Not that I'm complaining, I'm just in awe on how you can sit an type that much! Unless your like the speediest typer man.

Well, that took surprisingly less time than *I* thought it would! *smirk* *snicker*

So, Sesshy has decided to go all-out for the girl, finally. I am not so foolish, though, as to think that we will be seeing too much fluff in the near future. After all, it's going to take him a while to actually convince Kags that he's serious, right?

Kudos on another well-written chapter, moving us along, however 'slowly.' I am sure, however, that you will find a way to throw a little more citrus-flavored stuff our way while you're making us wait, won't you?? I, for one, can hardly contain my anticipation (again!)!!
:D
~~Wiccan~~

A predatory Sesshy is a schmexy Sesshy! Kagome doesn't stand a chance! >:D Man this is so great! You are a freaking genius!!! You are my new favorite fan fic writer! You ROCK! *bows repeatedly* I'm not worthy!!!!

really enjoyed this!!! please e-mail me with the updates : )

OMG YOU HAVE TO UPDATE!!!! I have been home from school sick and im all huddled over my computer coughing and reading your story. I swear i will die reading your story. LOL. update soon.

Intrigue, Intrigue, Intrigue

If I were Sesshoumaru I know I would regret teaching her so much after she used it to tick me off. At least now he realizes why it got on his nerves whenever another male would come by. I think if Akiyama and Sesshoumaru meet up now, it's not going to be a very pretty sight. *grins while the image of two scowling youkai come into head*

Oh well, enough with the imagination. Another good chapter as always. By the way, the "Macbeth Test Day Accident", which I have thus dubbed it so, was actually really nerve-wracking because I was on an interstate highway with eighteen wheelers coming at me from behind. The car wouldn't go over 45. Luckly I made it to McDonalds and waited for my dad to come and fix it. It was his birthday too, so as a birthday present we got to each lunch with him after his eventful afternoon.

I think I'm done rambling now. I can't wait for the next chapter, I was actually suprised to see this one up because I had gotten used to the waitng a week schedule.

Well its about time somebody admits to their feelings... I like how sess is all like she will be mine thats the end of that.... and I see how kags can be all confused about it... I can wait to see how this all turns out... see ya at the next update

excellent chapter. ^_^

I can't wait to read more, so with that said, please update soon!

Okay so I love you! I would never throw rotten fruit at you so don't worry about that! I just totally need another update! I know your chapters are very lengthy but I'm a greedy little reader and I totally haven't had enough yet! I guess thats a good sign though. Oh well. Keep up the good work oh darling elle!

Oh man...why didnn't Sesshomaru and Kagome kiss again. This chapter was so wonderful and full of fluff...I loved it though!! Well...atleast there feelings are even better known to themselves and somewhat to each other. Hehehe.....I wonder what Sesshomaru will do next to persuade Kagome to except his claim. Hmmm...the possiblilities. Update again soon and keep up the fantastic work!! :D

Ooh, another EXCELLENT chapter I must say. ^_^

Yay!! More SessKag action!! XD Poor Kagome...she's so confused LOL! Though, I probably would be too if I was her...with Sesshomaru suddenly changing like that and all.....^^ BUT, I don't think I would've run away from him after that kiss. XD
Why is she so hesitant about it though? I mean, I can SORTA understand it...she doesn't want to get hurt...but still. She's thinking about it too much....

Yay for Sesshy finally realising what his feelings were!! *claps* Once things finally click into place, things sure do move quickly, huh? XD It's just too bad that he was interrupted. >. BAD timing Kouga and Taeko!!!! But I'm pretty sure Kaogme is liking this little reprieve. (even though she might not know it's there..lol!) XD

I can't WAIT to see how things turn out!! *is veeery excited* ^_^ Update soon! (I don't really need to say that though...you already do. =P)

Shriek for joy! He is finally pullins the stick he has wedged up there for so long. he he. I can't believe it! *huge grin* I'm so happy right now I could sing! I can't wait to see what Sesshoumaru does next for his courting ritual. He he *wiggle eyebrows* Until next time (hopefully not too long from now) we will find out. Yay!!!!!!!

No cliffie this time, good! Great chapter! Finally that thick headed Sesshoumaru realised his feelings! :D
It's a good thing he never told Kagome about the courting rituals, because then she'd know what he was doing. It's more fun to keep her guessing. :D
As for youkai aging (Shippo). If it weren't for the fact that Shippo never ages in the anime, I would have guessed that they grow very quickly while they are young and then slow down as they reach adulthood. But that's just my theory. I like yours aswell. It feels plausible.
Oh, and it was a very mean prank the southern lord pulled on Sesshoumaru. :)

I am glad to see this show is starting to get on the road. I think the next chapter is going to be very interesting.

I HATE IT!!!!! TOTALY AND COMPLETLY!!!! LOL You write so well, have such a amazing story line, interesting chapters and such you leave me constantly wanting more! If this were a book I would have read it in one day because i couldent put it down!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!!!!

hell friggin yes!!! i finally had time to read the last update AND this one and i'm a very, very happy reader 3 and my my, sesshoumaru's a jealous puppy eh? lol! well i mainly just wanted to say keep up the awesome work!!! and yeah...you kick my arse into the next century :P

how can kagome be confused about her feelings for sesshoumaru? i sure wouldn't be, lol ^_^ *grins while giggling* great job by the way

Good chapter, as usual! :) I'm glad the South and East have decided to join forces with the West. Now with Kouga in the picture, I hope he doesn't disrupt Sesshy's intension on continuing the courting! And damnit, he needs to tell Kagome the real reasons for his persuit, so she stops assuming less honorable reasons. *smirks*

*hugs you until you can no longer breath, then resuscitates you and hugs you again* YES!! I love it! They're moving forward...well, Sesshomaru is...Kogome is still kind of out there (but that's what makes them so realistic and in character!!) I can't wait for more! Thanks for another great chapter!!

ummm....can we say a part 4? cause I dont think I can deal with having only 1/3 of part 3 left...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the wonderful update!! I love Sesshomaru and Kagome's reactions to each other!! I also love that Sesshomaru is deciding to court Kagome!! Yay!!!! Great chapter!! I can't wait for more of your incredible story!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the wonderful update!! I love Sesshomaru and Kagome's reactions to each other!! I also love that Sesshomaru is deciding to court Kagome!! Yay!!!! Great chapter!! I can't wait for more of your incredible story!!

I just finished reading from Part I to the latest piece of Part III and I can't wait for you to continue.

Yay! Another chapter! Why do I have a feeling that Shin is going to be causing some problems soon? Can't wait to see the next chapter. ^-^

And by the way, you definitely have my votes! I absolutely love this story, and it's prequel. Good luck! I hope you win.

I need to catch my breath....Ok...WOW...that was so worth the 32 chapter wait!!! lol.. It really, really was. And that's why I love your writing...you draw it out, to be savored and enjoyed. To bring out a smile because of the realism you instill in your work. Wow...wow...wow...I loved this chapter..For obvious fluffy reasons..Ahhh to be in her position..lucky, lucky little fictional character. :) Really fantastic chapter..you did a great job weaving all the different aspects together...Inuyasha's courting, the warrior gathering...and the sweetness of our favorite couple...I cannot wait to see what happens next!!!! Which is the polite way of saying...HURRY..and update soon..Please...pretty please... : )

Love this chapter. I love reading this fanfic. PLease update again soon.

....oh! never before has a single kiss been so well, erotic! haha i swear i need a cold shower and nothing even happened! you have built up the tension very well between those two! ...awwe!!! that was so sweet how she gave him a massage, almost like they were married or something akin to it! lol, it was sweet and how she comfprted his uneasiness when he was to meet the generals was just adorable! this chapter was perfect! please update soon! i so so so so sooooo cannot wait to see what happens next! p.s. oh yes he shaved his head! he couldn't find the guard to the hair trimmer..razor...it buzzes anyways! lmao... can u tell i've never cut hair?? lol, well anyways he couldn't find the guard so he njust straight razored it.... hmm i hate it! he's red headed as hell, but its a deep orange-red color i like it. i especially like to play with it when it was long when he was younger... but ah he keeps it cut short now because of work and such :-( lol, but i got him a set of snap-on mkolded fangs for halloween this past year and TRIED to get him to wear the whole sessh outfit... but nooo he cays he won't cater to my fantasies because he wants me to think about him and not some cartoon character while we're scrogging! i was like...me? nah! lmao! haha i got him to wear the fangs though... it was close enough! haha. :-D but ah enough rambling! my fingers are cold and slowly becomming cramped up lol, so please update soon!

Now I know you have an evil streak, ending your story there!! I hope you plan to come back soon with the next!! Thank you so much for all of your incredible stories!! I really enjoy your writing!!

PLEASE, YOU REALLY SHOULD CONTINUE
SEND ME THE UPDATED VERSION WHEN YOU ARE DONE.

And I thought /Sesshomaru/ had an invincibility complex. It isn't Tokyo, girl. It's about time you subconsciously realize that.

THis was great!!!!! I love it, please update soon!!!

THis was great!!!!! I love it, please update soon!!!

Well now...it is about time these two started to react to each on a more physical plane. I hope you speed up it and make it happen before the war...like mate them.*hee...hee...hee* :)

Excellent chapter :)

wow...they finally kissed! geez, it's about damn time! it only took what? a bazillion chapters to get to this point. and the funny thing is, i bet it's only going to get more complicated and more rationalized denial! well at least a part of sesshoumaru can actually admit that it wants kagome and not just merely has an "affection" for her. you know, i didn't think inuyasha would have the guts to go back to sesshoumaru and tell him that he lost kagome. but then again he probably doesn't care what sesshoumaru thinks. can't wait for the next chapter!

i'm soo excited! this chappie is great! can't wait for the update!!!!

Katherine: I love this story soooooooooooo much I'm so happy they kiss and I cant wait until they mate Update soon!!! PLz

Vampire Katie the Human Slayer:
Yea I like this story alot too! And I cant wait till you update it either so update soon please I will wait until you update

kudos for a job well done! i must agree with all the other readers by saying its about time ;-) i can hardly wait for another update *grins*

Oh, My! Is it warm in here, or what?! [fanning self] Well, what is going to happen next, I wonder? Poor Kagome is all bumfuzzled, and Sesshomaru is just plain mad! Hee-hee! What fun! I can't wait for your next chapter to see how they deal with this -- and InuYasha --score another point for him! Ha! I am just loving this!

*is stunned*Oh my...goodness! What the an honest to goodness kiss?NO WAY!!Lol. I was beginning to think that Kagome and Sesshomaru were going to play the 'avoid the situation' game forever! yay, fluff fluff fluff! I can't wait for more, ya hear? That means you must update right now, because I am impatient and said so XD. Just kidding!...but not really!*puppy dog eyes* And here is a chocolate bunny for all your hard work!*tosses* Chow^^
~Chaos

FI NA LLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::does little dance of joy:: Now it is time for the Taiyoukai to see what hes got in front of him!!!!!!! muahahaha "how the mighty have fallen" I cant wait for ur next update!!! :D :D

Sheesh! YOU thought they'd never get to this point??? What do you think the REST OF US were thinking? Oh, never mind, I'm sure you've heard it several times already, right? *snicker*

Well, I will add my voice to what is, most likely, quite the chorus, clamoring (no doubt) for MORE!! That was a wonderful tease, as many of the preceding chapters have been, but I'm almost drooling in anticipation - and NOT over the much-hoped-for lemon. No, my anticipation has to do with just how far Sesshy is going to go to try to deny THIS stunning realization. I mean, PUL-eeze! Since he's already rationalized his 'attraction' six ways from Sunday, how on earth is he going to wrangle himself out of THIS one?

Kudos on building the suspense and anticipation to a fever pitch! I will be waiting, eagerly, to see just where your muse takes us next! Thanks so much for all the wonderful reading!!!
:D
~~Wiccan~~

:D omggg good chapter! haha, your story makes me all excited for more o_o

i'll probably have to reread it though, i already jumbled up stuff with other stories T_T

ohhh, i hope there's going to be some additions to kagome's love life *__*... to uh... cause trouble for sesshoumaru, that is. yeah.

It seems word is out and Kagome's reputation is being threatened. Call in a chaperone or Sesshoumaru needs to declare. Although his thoughts while confronting the panther demon were decisive that no other human or demon would touch her--whether that meant that he would touch her seemed implied. However, there was no mention of being mated in those thoughts, just that he wanted her. Perhaps Sesshoumaru will think this "thing" is desire only.

You out did your self again! Loved the new chapter! Thought that it was awesome how kagome was able to get away from Inuyasha! Such a cliff hanger. Looking forward for the next chapter! What about some of the warriors that came to see Sesshoumaru will they attempt to pursue Kagome as a mate. Loved the purring of the Big BAD Sesshoumaru when Kagome was rubbing him! KEEP UP THE AWESOME JOB!!!!!

Well possessive definantly describes the feelings of Sesshoumaru during this chapter. He should feel proud *grins* knowing that his student actually retains what he teaches her. I know a lot of people where they will hear something, and an hour later they can't remember what was said.


I really don't know how the Macbeth test went. On the day of the test one of the sparkplugs in my car came undone and I ended up missing the class. Well, in reality I was there for the last ten minutes of it, but that isn't long enough to take a 90 question test. So I ended up taking it two days later on the day that our school let out for spring break. So I have to wait until Wednesday before I will even have the chance to see what my grade was on it.

Nice chapter. He finally kissed her.

YAY!!! Finally! Kissy kissy Sesshy!
OK, that was very immature of me.
I am so so so happy you finally pushed them together a bit more. Although I'm sure it will be a while before something like that happens again, I am completely happy with your most recent chapter. Hurrah!

omg . . . She was gonna be defiled and she wouldnt have even realized it . . . Noooo . . . I am glad that Sesshoumaru came to save the day again . . . ^-^ . . . He is absolutely awesome!

Your story is amazing!

At first Kagome asked Inu if he wanted to go with her on the trip and then she complains because he found out and followed her. What's up with that?

Where is Shippou when she goes on the trip?

I'm so glad that you updated...even though it took about a week. This chapter totally made up for it though in my opinion. I'm so glad that Sesshomaru caught Kagome when she almost fell off of that big rock. I don't know what I would have done if I was the one in an almost naked Sesshy's arms. Yummy. Anyway, good job Inuyasha on courting Moriko. I knew they would totally hook up. Sesshy seemed to relax a ton when Kagome was giving him a wonderful massage too. I guess they just can't keep their hands off of each other. Towards the end of the chapter, I'm glad Sesshy got there when he did to rescue Kagome from that panther youkai. That would have been really sad if she went through with the panthers actions. Yay!! I was so happy when they finally kissed. There feelings finally are revealed!! I can't wait to find out what happens. Keep up the great work and update again soon!! :D

*pounces on you* Okay so I totally forgive you for not updating as soon as I asked you too because this chapter rocked so much. But seriously woman! Your dragging it out so much that it huuuuuuuuuuurts. Me at least! God I love your writing, you know that an author is amazing when you're sad when your nearing the end of something so painfully climatic. Throwing the kiss in there was a godsend, I would have been soooo unsatisfied if they didn't get something else put in there.

As an avid reader of "A Simple-" I love all aspects of it. The 'blind' attraction between Sesshoumaru and Kagome was simply adorable. I find myself saying, in spite of that- It's about time!

All I can say is....It's about time! Loved the chapter! Can't wait for the next update to see how Kagome reacts.

I LOVE their chemistry...finally *sigh* some action between the two of them. Please update again soon. I can't wait to read more.

i absolutly loved this chapter, duh u can tell why, hope u can update soon, great story!

I am not going to say much but I will say this. ABOUT D*MN TIME! Loved the chapter and I can't wait to see how the both them handle what they feel in the upcoming chapters.

Nice long chapter, I loved it! I really liked how you have portrayed Kagome and Seshomaru's relationship, how it has been maturing this entire time.
So, based on where you left the chapter at, does that meant that Seshomaru is finally going to court Kagome? I can't wait to see how Inuyasha is going to react!
Keep up the good work.

luv it luv it luv it!!!

FINALLY!!! I LOVE IT. THAT HAS TO BE THE MOST SATISFYING KISSING SCENE I'VE EVER READ IN MY LIFE! *achem* Well love the chapter. He he! Can't wait to see where it's all gonna go now! Sweet! Love it!!! Just as you said something to jerk them out of it. Oh boy oh boy. Not only were we delighted with a naked Sesshomaru we got a kiss out of the deal. Sweet!!!!! You are a fanfiction genius!!!

Wow . . . . I love that kiss! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! It's soooo cute! I have butterfly's in my tummy!! SOOOO cute! *Sings* Sesshoumaru wants Kagome! Sesshoumaru wants Kagome! *Grins* Please continue soon! Hopein' for it! Thanks for the E-mail, too.

I had butterflies in my stomache at the end of the chapter. I can't believe they finally kissed! I wonder how things will turn out from now.... Seeing as turning around like Kagome did, means rejection, Sesshoumaru might get a little angry/disappointed.
And I just KNEW that Inuyasha was gonna court that... (oh my I forgot her name) forest youkai. :D

Doh! That was really sweet! I guess I missed it when it said you were gonna wait a week, sorry XD; I guess I got so use to you updating sooner than that! Anyways, great chapter!

(doing happy dance) Yay im so happy to get some kag sess action going on... i was wondering when it was gonna happen... i bet now hes gonna push her away... maybe kags should get a grip with her emotions and put a move on sess... i know i would... lol

You wanna know what I think? I think it was about damn time that these 2 did something about the (sexual?) tension between them *grins*
and they did!
update soon - I'll be waiting :D

*cries and begs you for more* That was amazing! You just made my weekend...although...waiting for the next chapter is going to be hell =D. It was briliant, I loved it, and the kiss, oh man, I'm going to have to print that part off just for solid proof that it happened and it wasn't wishful thinking ^_^. Yay, they're finally moving foreward...now I don't want to bash them over the head so much. Anyway, thanks for another great chapter!

Hello!!! *hugs*

Ahh, I'm too lazy to log in right now....^^

Wow! Is it getting hot in here or what?? XD
FINALLY! That was a HUGE leap forward.....he's finally realised his true feelings. :D Oh wow......I can't WAIT to see how this turns out!!!!!!!

Awww! Inuyasha's courting her!! Aww! *huggles them both*

Wow.....I'm at a loss of words for this chapter...I really don't know what else to say besides that it was EXCELLENT! XD

Funny story.....I had a dream about your story the other day...and the dream felt so real!! When I woke up, I serioulsy thought that it had really happened!! o.O lol!

Oh yes, DISNEY TRIP!! XD SOOOO much fun!! Read my journal on Deviantart and you'll hear all about it! ^_^

Ahhhhh...finally the "get a damn clue spark"...

*big grin*

Nicely done, very nicely done! Hmm, I did think the Elemental would be the youkai to set his fangs on edge, but whatever works *snicker*. Still would love to see the Elemental again, he is kind of sexy and if he pisses of Fluffy and gets him that much closer to having more of a clue even better. You are doing a great job of this story. I am always well pleased when you update. Without fail I smile and grab a cup of tea and go into meditative reading mode. You do know how to tell a story.

.....until next time.

Another wonderful chapter! And the sexual tension just reached an all-time high. That string better snap soon!!!!

GAH! they finally kissed! *happy dance*

ohh....i wonder where this will go now...hmmm...

great chapter, please update soon! ^_^

Omg, updatttteeeee!!! It's been too long D;

Thank you so much for the fun update!! I think it's so cute that Sesshomaru invited Kagome to live with him, not even thinking about how it would affect her reputation!! I'm sure it doesn't make him look too good either!! At least it helps keep her safe!! Hope work doesn't get you too down this week!! Please try to come back soon, this story is marvelous!!!!

That was great. I really liked how you ended the chapter too. ^_~

hahaha, great chapter.
I like Akiyama, he just seems a little off, or maybe he's too good to be true...well anyways, cool chapyter and i can't wait until the update to hear about the bath!

Woo Hoo!! Hotsprings cant wait, lol. keep up the good work!!

Oooh, how sweetn=)
Was so happy, as I saw on SUnday, that another chapter was up..^^like a B'day Present^^(Yeah, finally 18*smile*)
It was such a great chapter again!!
And now she's living with him..=))))))
BUt I also liekd Inuyashas concern about Kagome & Sesshy..but soooo sad, that he interrupted this perhaps nearly kissingscene...^^

Wonderful! I cant wait to finally see the next chapter. What's he going to do to her?!?!?!?! Your story is driving me insane with possibilities. Absoulutly an awsome story.

I know it seems like I'm haunting you everywhere you go [or put your story up] but I just cant get this story out of my head.

I wish you a good day, and PLEASE update soon!

That was excellent. Yet another witty and well written chapter to your compelling story. I can't get enought of your poignant imagery and unsurpassable creativity. I look forward to your next chapter. :)

Hi Elle!! You uptaded so fast that I didn't have time to review chapter 5...which I don't complain ^__^ It's great don't wait so much!!
Hum..so much to say..let's see..about Ryokusen, why they don't search for him after healing themselves? And Akiyama it's really cute ^__^ Sesshomaru will be jealous? Hum..that would be good!! Sesshy is starting to realize how he really feel about Kagome, but still deny that T__T..I want so much a kiss!!!! Elle-chan should let mr. Fluff graze Kagome's earlobe too..heheheheh..but I have to say that yor fic is really amazing!!! Like very much ^_^
Ok..I talk too much, last thing..I want suggestions about others good Inuyashas' fics with Sess/Kag off course...do you have any indications? Thanks ^_^ keep writing!!
Leticia

Hi Elle!! You uptade so fast that I didn't have time to review...which I don

Woot woot! That was awesome!! I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter. ^_^

I wonder what Akiyama really wants? Is it really only friendship? Or is it like Kagome thought...that he was just seeing if he wanted to court her or not? He does seem nice, though...and very polite. ^_^

Ooooohhhh!! Another hotsprings scene!!! *giggles happily* I REALLY can't WAIT to see what happens next!!! ^_^ I wonder if Kagome will look? She said she wouldn't....but seriously, it would be VEEERRY hard to not look when you have an extreamly attractive and NAKED male next to you....>.> :P I bet she won't make it. ^_^

Is it Ryokusen that is attacking the villages? I wonder who else it could be? Hmm....

Well, I'll talk to ya later, update soon! :D *hugs*

Hiii Elle!! *waves*

So guess what? It was an extreamly pleasant surprise to come home from my Disney Band Tour to find TWO whole new chapters waiting for me!!! *jumps up and down happily* lol

Woooooow! That chapter was...AMAZING!!! I loooooved the battle scene....I still think you make them look easy! ^_^ DANG! He didn't die. I can't wait to see how they finally get rid of Ryokusen....I still can't believe he did that to his own child!

Haha! A squirrel?? How funny! XD He didn't stand a chance against Sesshomaru lol!
Ooooooooooooooohhhhhh! Inuyasha caught them in the act!! LOL!! I can't wait to see how THIS turns out!

YAY! It made me soo happy to see that you put the link to my picture in there again! *hugs till you turn blue*

Well, I'm going to go read the next chapter now...ta ta! XD

I am SO loving this! Espeically the way that Sesshomaru teases Kagome -- but when are they going to realize what is really going on?! Usually InuYasha is the last one to understand anything, but he seems leaps and bounds ahead of the both of them! You could've almost knocked me over with a feather when he said that they were both blind! Love it!

It looks like Sesshoumaru is going to have to hang around each time Kagome washes off his scent so he can scent mark her again, just to help her keep those anoying suitors away. It is so funny he thinks Kagome is unaffected by him, although she is a little clueless. She does seem to believe that although they are close, Sesshoumaru would never take her as a mate. And that is what he professes. Akiyama does seem nice and he is good looking. Perhaps more interaction to become an actual friend and ally and see if he is "mate" material.

When I saw that you updated so soon I started doing my "happy chapter update chair dance"! But alas no updates this week..*sob* but I understand, besides better to wait for another great chapter from you than something you just threw out to appease the masses!!! Btw..another fantastic chapter from you...It is amazing, your writing just seems to get better and better! And you really know how to build a relationship! But I cannot believe how DENSE kags is...it is a sad world when Mr. emotionally challenged, icicle up his ass Sess has a better handle and understanding of his feelings than Kags does. Oh and I just love the fact that you have Inuyasha showing some maturity. Again he is more aware than our two heros!! Ohhh and Akiyama...I am dying to know just how much trouble his presence is going to bring too our couple! I could go on and on and on...wait I think I just did. *sigh* Thanks for another wonderful read!

oh! haha! that was hilarious at the end! how he teased her! so sweet! they should definately be hooking up soon! they are both blind as inuyasha said! kagome is definately blind! at least sesshoumaru has admitted an attachment! kagome just scratched him off her list! ... hmm that akiyama guy is creepy.. he's hiding something! *pokes at him with a stick and asks him what he's hiding* haha, hmm ahem anyways! lol.... well, i think inuyasha is taking over protective to a new level! he needs to just do a little pushing! i think they are definately close to getting together! hmm, sesshoumaru definately likes picking at her, but hmm i guess he's got his make prie to account for that? well, please update soon!!! *glances at husband's shaved head* sigh... why couldn't he just find the guard for the razor?? this man has shaved his head to stubble!! he reminds me of one of those nazi skintheads!... and the bad thing is he wore a hat trying to hide it like i wouldn't notice!! lol, he knows i hate it when he cuts his own hair! lol well i am rambling so ah haha, time to depart! please update soon! i can't wait to read more!

Your fic is ok I guess, I juz find myself irritated a lot that sess always manages to get the best of kags; like she's his personal jester or something, and she falls everytime.

Okay love, so when I say you need to update now I reallllllyyyy mean that I need an update this minute!! That was the kind of chapter that just leaves you wanting more! So I demand an update this instant! >.

Wow, this is the first story that I "finished" recently without skipping large chunks. I'm really looking forward to new chapters. It really is odd for me to read incomplete stories, but this one is very good and worth the pain of waiting for more XD

Hehehe...Inuyasha was really worried for Kagome. He doesn't have to worry though...she's in good hands. I really liked Miroku's plan too...about them getting married. Aww..Sesshy was a little hurt by Kagome's answer. Oh well. I'm glad they are going to be living together now technically. Yay!! I wonder if Kagome is going to peek at Sesshy when he's bathing..I think I would. I just wouldn't be able to pass up that oppertunity. Update again soon and keep up the fantastic work!!

Oh man, that who chapter was priceless! I laughed so hard =D. It was great, althoug, I must agree with Inuyasha, they're both dense =D but that just makes it all the more fun. Thanks for writing such a great chapter!

Nice. As usual, your new chapter was wonderful. I so look forward to your next. :) Miko + Demon Lord + Hot Springs? Somehow I doubt Kagome will find herself staring at the ground with a perfectly nude Sesshomaru to attract her attention. *wicked grin*

Argh! Hurry up and write next chapter! For crying out loud, it has a naked Sesshoumaru in it! :D *hyperventilates*
Anyway, this was a very good chapter. I think it's nice that Kagome and Shippou are moving in permanently. I was kind of surprised that he'd ask her that, but Sesshoumaru's mind works in mysterious ways... :)
Ooh, and I love that your chapters are this long! Give me moooooore! Hurry! :D

wow the last few chapters were spectacular. Had a great time catching back up!!!

Funny. I'm liking your elemental youkai more and more. He's cool but Sesshy getting irritated. he he Yeah sesshy and kags are both blind as the blind albino salamander. They need to fess up. Maybe another dose of that potion that neko youkai used on him earlier. he he. Oh well can't wait for the next chapter.

Don't worry about how long it will take to put the next chapter out. I know my schedule is going to be busy because of the end of the term this week.

Another good chapter, with a valiant effort on Miroku's part to play matchmaker. Poor poor Sesshoumaru. Rejected and he hasn't even had a chance to ask.

Akiyama came back!! Yeah!!!

Now that I'm done, I will go and study for my test on Macbeth. *cringes*

A rather nice update and getting more and more intriguing with the deepening understanding with the elemental youkai....lol, poor Lord of the Western Lands...

For once, Inuyasha is quite right both are in serious denial...I wonder what will be the tell tale spark?

Nice update.

1 week?!? I love reading this fanfic. I can't wait to read more....

Akiyama is such a mystery... ^_^

Great chapter, once again!
Really brightened my day.

I'm surprise inu didn't put up much of a fight at kags leaving... i definately understand her reasoning i wouldn't want to hang around two couples either... and poor sess has deep feelings for her and dont even realize it... LOL.. i hope to see Akiyama make more appearances... im sure he'll give sess a run for his money... great chapter... see at the next update... later

Oh my, Kagome's in trouble!
I already feel sympathy for the warriors of the Western Lands- what confusion they will feel once they see their Lord and his.. consort? Kagome.

I love it that you email us, the reviewers, anytime you come out with a new chapter. ^-^

That being said, is Akiyama going to try to further his relationship with Kagome?

Also I laughed when Inuyasha told her about the whole licking thing :D

As always- lovely.

PLEASE continue with this story dying to know whats going to happen next!!!! Awesome job!!!!

It's none of your business InuBAKA! And get a clue about youkai society Kag. I like the fact that Sess is fighting the attraction tooth and nail. It makes it more plausible/real/satisfying in the end. heh.

AMAZING! Yup, that's right, this fanfic is awsome, I love it! It makes me laugh, want to strangle them both for being so oblivious, you know, all the things the great fanfics make you feel =D. Here's the part where I give you these huge, pleading eyes and ask you to send me an email when you update :). Again, amazing!

Oh and I forgot to mention the SQUIRREL!!!! OMG...I snorted my coffee for that vivid mental picture!! It was truly funny!!!

Ohhh...a Sess mattress???? Can we possibly market that?? I would pay, and pay big! I really enjoyed this chapter too. Your fight scenes are truly well choreographed and so vivid. My favorite part of this whole chapter was Sess telling himself he would think about his feelings further tomorrow!! I love that, as if it works for him or anyone. It's great that you really get into the characters and infuse them with such life and truth...I could go on and on about all that I loved of this chapter..but then I would be leaving yet another epic tome of a review..So with that in mind...ummm review quickly and your gift wrapped (strategically placed bows included!) silver haired demons are in the mail !!! :)

As usual the chapter had so much information I always miss something I want to coment about. First of all I want to say that your fight scenes get better and better, I enjoy them so much! Then there is the open path for Kagome and Sesshomaru to spend more time together, I hope the invitation is for a long stay.
Will Kagome get more courting before Sesshomaur begins to imprint his scent on her every morning, just in case...? Wikk the water yukai reappear and challenge Sesshomaru? So many questions....

oooo i betcha inuyasha knows what he's doing alright!! haha and ooo, does kagome really know what he's doing? i don't quite remember.... :-D ah well, hmm this chapter was awfully sweet and jelousy-ridden on sesshoumaru's part, lol! he should just admit it, he's smitten! it would make things a lot easier lol! well, aside from my righteous fury at ryukosen... i am very delighted with this chapter! oh, and what foreigners has he recruited into his army? please update soon! i am eager to find out what happens with sesshoumaru's getting caught in the act! haha.. *digs around in popcorn bowl, as she 'calmy' waits for the next installment* :-D

ARRGH!!! When will Sesshoumaru admit he loves her?? I know...im impatiente :( but he just makes me so mad sometimes he wont just admit it and it gets on my nerves! I know that it will come in its due time...i just wish it was on the next chapter ::hint hint:: :P naaah... just kidding...Please continue with ur wonderful work...and please update soon!!!! :D

DAMNIT!!! INUYASHA ALWAYS WALKS IN AT THE WRONG DAMN TYMES .... And Something Tells Me That The Elemental Demon Is A Little Shady!!!

LOVED THE CHAPTER!!! UPDATE SOON!!!

the ending was so funny!!! ^__^
i love when u make inuyasha interrupt those hot moments!
how i wish sesshy would rub his smooth skin against me *blush*
thank u so much for a new chp.
hope to read more of ur great story.
Arigatou!!!!

omg! you cant leave it like that! i need to know how inuyasha over-reacts, kagome being embarassed up the wazoo, and sesshomaru trying to pass off his affections. i need to know what happens. im like addicted to your fic. PLEASE update soon!!!!!!

I'm fully convinced Sesshoumaru was a bull youkai in his past life, either that or he's a Taurus. Stubborn much? Seriously my good man...er...youkai...whatever...you are in MAJOR denial.

Another fabulously amazing chapter!!! Gotta say I love how you've developed Inuyasha's character.

I love the new chapter. :) Hahah, I bet Inu is pissed. Perhaps he is a good catylist for making Sesshou realise his feelings, though? I hope so! I've been dying for them to get together already! LOL. Keep up the good work!

I need more!!! come on hurry so that i can find out what happens PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

I need more!!! come on hurry so that i can find out what happens PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

I need more!!! come on hurry so that i can find out what happens PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

I think that you are having to much fun leaving us hanging like that! "P
Just when we think things are about to get interesting, someone has to come and interupt. I guess I try to wait patiently for the next chapter to see what happens to our favorite couple.

LOL...OMG I LOOOOVVEEEE this fanfic. Please update soon. I can't wait to read more.

I just love the way you ended this chapter, it was just so funny, to think WHO walked in on them. LOL , I have someone in mind already. This was a great chapter, I absolutly loved it, hope u update soon!

Wow...that fight was pretty intense. I can't believe that Ryokusen got away after Sesshomaru's attack. Oh well....they'll get him next time. I found it really cute how Sesshy healed Kagome's injuries too. To bad she doesn't know how they were healed..maybe she'll figure it out later. I wonder if Kagome will accept Sesshomaru's invitation..she probably will. Hhehe...and then with the squirrel youkai trying to court Kagome too. I think Sesshy was a bit annoyed about that...but atleast he was able to mark her again. I think they both enjoyed that wonderful moment...until Inuyasha showed up. Update again soon. I can't wait to find out Inuyasha's reaction to the situation :D

this is an excellent adventure fic!! keep on writing...inuyasha's reactions to sess is sooo funny!

^.^ I can't wait t see how this goes down. >___________

Oh My goodness . . . I am absolutely obsessed with this story . . .

Haha Inuyasha walked in on Sesshoumaru trying to make sure his scent was on Kagome . . .

I have to say that you are one of THE best fanfiction authors that I have come across in a long time ^-^ . . . This story is amazing!

Sesshoumaru isnt going to end up doing something to push Kagome away in the end is he . . . Its going to be a happy story right??

Oh yeah you are amazing at writing battle scenes

ARG I got caught up in this chapter and haven't started supper... I have company coming over too. Loved the chapter, gotta go... Thanks for another great update, even though it is kind of a cliffie. Poor Inuyasha... and poor deluded Sess : )

hahaha, Inuyasha!
wow...a squirell youkai, i would have never expected that!
XD
that's great.
well, great chapter. four days was good time. ^_^

Hahahahaha! Oh I love the cliffhanger. Then again, I always like cliffhangers. I'm weird that way.

Nice chapter, and it was good for you to make it so that they didn't beat the Northern Lord at their first try. Then there wouldn't be such tension between the lands. The whole thought process of knowing who we consider the strongest, besides his father, was beat gives a new feel to the story.

I don't think I saw any grammer or spelling mistakes, I'm a stickler for them so I don't have anything to rant to you about today.

I can't wait for the next update.

omg loved it. the battle scenes were intense. i'm glad that kags & sesshy are ok too. also i just have to say this one thing, kagome is one lucky girl *grins*

was it yasha who walked in on them?

I love how Sesshomaru keeps convincing himself he feels nothing for Kagome!! He's so strong he could never be bested by love!! I don't think he even realizes how much he shows her his concern!! Kagome is one lucky girl!! Inuyasha though needs to get a life!! I hope he stops interrupting soon!! Thank you so much for the fabulous, wonderful, update!! Please post more soon!!

Lol! Inuyasha! XD I wonder what excuse Sesshoumaru will come up with for this one. XD
I liked their alone-time in this chapter. Kagome becoming injured wasn't a bad thing after all. I mean, who wouldn't want to spend three days in Sesshoumaru's arms? *droool*
Can't wait for next chapter! :D

Waaah, soo sweet =)))
And then this....t was such a unbelieveable sweet scene, i love it^^
And the part, where Sesshoumaru thinks about his atachment to the "miko"
And this squirell youkai...hehe...a mating chase...and Kagome..just to great ;P
Another really, really great chapter =)

OMG! You are sooo good with the cliffies. Man! Well can't wait for the next chappie.

Hi Elle!! Thanks for the reply, it was really nice from you ^__^
This chapter was O_O Love the rubbing think!! I would like to be Kagome in there!! Hum..Hope that next chapter brings more romantic scenes...crazy for that *_*
Kagome is injured????!! O_O What Sesshomaru is going to do about that?
See you ! Leticia

hey i love your stories! they are great with a realistic development between kags and sess. keep up the great work. please post soon, i look forward to reading it.

GAH! update soon!

....

please?

i can't wait to find out what happens next. awesome job. =)

liked the chapter. finally the bad guy reveals himself and i didn't expect it to be the same bastard who killed his mate. also liked the elemental youkai. good thing he didn't do a dance or whatnot. hope we'll see more of him just to make sesshoumaru squirm some more! lol actually these past couple of chapters i really have enjoyed seeing sesshoumaru being a little disturbed and uncomfortable. it's just soooo unlike him! lol and i liked his method of deterring other males. yeah right, he just wanted a reason to get close to her. lol you know i almost forgot about the bracelet that kagome gave sesshoumaru! i guess i didn't realize he had it on this whole time. geez, i'm such a space case! well, finally we know what it does and is a big part of the story. and also those emerald jewels that suck out the youki. forgot about those too! nice to know that there are people who can keep these little details in check unlike me who would have totally forgotten about them leaving plot holes! *sigh* anywayz i'm looking forward to see what happens next.

Where to begin? This chapter just rocked my socks! Wonderful job...you addressed so many different aspects of the story...I was wondering where you going to tie in the pendant and the armband...And what you do with the story and your plot always surprises me. It is just so refreshing! And I just love everything about this chapter!.. Your fight scene was great, I could see the action happening...and Ahhh nuzzling...there is just something about that word alone that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and of course who is doing the nuzzling...leaves me somewhat hot and steamy!! lol!!! And your water elemental...I cannot wait to see his future role in the story.

Although cruel authoress has left us all hanging....I must admit that each chapter you offer seems better than the last...Update soon, I may have to update my "pretty please" ante...maybe two hot demon boys with silver hair???? :)

Nice!

I really like the story and how it is developing. So is the bad guy going to die soon?
Keep up the good work

*Sung to the tune of Spiderman music*

Freakin' great, freakin' great, your fanfic is freakin' great!

Another amazing chapter, another random-ass review...freakin' GRRRREAT!

Please update soon, I really wish to read the next chapter, this sounds very interesting.

Please update soon, I really wish to read the next chapter, this sounds very interesting.

Girl this chapter was really good. It was action packed. I was sad that it had to end even though it was a long chapter. I am really looking forward to reading the next chapter because I know it will not disappointment when the fight scene is continued. As always your chapters are very entertaining and always have me wanting to read more.

Hurray!! Another chapter is up....and another really good one too. I'm glad that Sesshomaru is showing Kagome how much he trusts her...that will certainly help with their relationship. That was surprising about Akiyama wanting to court her too. I'm sure he'll come back to ask her if she is willing to court him...instead of being just friends. I noticed Sesshomaru was a little anxious about Kagome's answer to the youkai. I found it cute how Sesshy is protecting her from the other youkai that might want to court her as well....hehehhe. I guess technically she's been marked by Sesshy now with his scent all over her and stuff. He did of course really enjoy that part of their journey. Hmm...I wonder why Kagome was so frightened of being over water...I'm glad Sesshomaru comforted her though. Wow...that fight is getting pretty intense. I hope Kagome will be alright though with her injury....and Sesshy stays pretty much unharmed. Hopefully they win the battle too. I can't wait to find out what happens next. Update again soon!! :D

Me Likey Sooo Much I Cant Wait To See Wuts Goin To Happen Next Update Soon Otay!!!

Ive just finished catching up, and I like it! The sparks between Sess and Kag are just flowing! I love this developement!
Aaah, I knew the bracelet was gonna come in handy some day! :D
I hope Kagome isn't too badly injured. But then again, if she were, Sesshoumaru would have to carry her and take care of her.... Can't wait for your next update! :D

Bye bye filthy fluffball! I bet you'll make a lovely pile of ash! *maniacal laughter*

EGAD! *ripps out hair* Cliffies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well Sesshy will undoubtedly kick some serious ass! HOOO YAAA! The whole cheek thing made even me blush. But with happiness! Finally were getting closer! *evil laugh* Oh he will fall for the fair maiden! I saw your DA and I like the water Youkai you created! He's cute but not for Kagome! he he. He looks like he could kick some serious ass too. Interesting... Well I put you on my watch and I'm Sariel_Lunar on it. If you can check out my drawings and let me know what you think. I think i suck but your stuff rocks. You can do some seriously sweet stuff with color. Until next time! XD

awesome!!!! dude, i totally can't wait to read the next chapter!!! this story gets better and better every time :]

Ooh! Another EXCELLENT chapter!! ^_^

Hmm...this spell on Kagome keeps getting better and better. Not only does she have a connection with Sesshomaru as well as his strength, but now she is able to go into a place that only those from his line should be able to go into? Very cool. ^_^

Ooh...that elemental youkai was pretty neat! I like that he didn't come right out and as to court her like the crane youkai did, but it's still painfully obvious that that is his intention..XD I don't see how Kagome didn't see it..lol!

Ooooohhhh....Sesshomaru enjoyed scent marking her?? ^_^ Awww! XD Things are moving along nicely. I can't wait to see what happens next in their relationship! :D

That fight scene was excellent! I love how you write them....I've always had a hard time writing fight scenes, and here you are making it look easy! XD
It's a good thing that Sesshomaru finally discovered what that wrist band does....if he hadn't put it on before they left....he'd be in some deep trouble! Now he can kick some neko youkai butt!! XD
I can't WAIT to see how this battle turns out! *is excited*

I like the way you use the armband to protect sess... i think the way sess 'courted' kags by rubbing his sent on her should strengthen the bond that have between them... cant wait for the update... later

I love this update!! Thank goodness the Northern Lord won't be able to use Sesshomaru's youkai power against him!! Thank goodness Kagome gave him that armband!! Thank goodness he wore it!! Please update again soon!! This story is amazing!!

YES YES YES I LOVE IT AGAIN CAN't wait for SESSHOMARU TO KICK HIS BUTT and of course KILL HIM

Whoa!!! Nice fight!!!! I hope Ryokusen bites the dust painfully. And that leaves Kagome injured and Sesshomaru to take care of her, more body to body action (grins). Are you considering a fourth part full of lemons? ;P

Wow, this chapter was just..wow!! ^^
I liked it very much.. the scene between Inuyashe and Sesshomaru was great.
And that finally the former mate of the sorceress comes in, and the bracelet kagome gaves him
But I hope Kagome will also land one blow on him..will they defeat him with their "dreamattack"? ;P
I really really really like this chapter =)

Hmm...I like Akiyama. Nice guy. Not bad when it comes to looks. And the best part, he knows how to tick Sesshoumaru off.

Good chapter. I thought you did a good job on the fighting like always. You're one of the few who I read who can write fight scenes without making them sound rushed. I always have a problem with that.

Fun! Fun! Fun!

PLEASE PLEASE FINISH THE STORY!!!!!!!!!! . . . Its getting soooo good . . . ^-^

What a wonderful chapter as a birthday present. I hope you don't mind me thinking of it as one, but my birthday is tomarrow! I'm so excited!

Yay, a new chapter =))
t was great again =)
This crane youkai..everytime i read it, I think of the "courting dance2...xd just too great!!^^
Soo, I'm very excited what'll happen next =)

I'm so proud of Kagome!! It would be so hard for me to trust someone so much, especially when Sesshomaru really gives her no real reason to trust him so much!! How is Sesshomaru going to deal with all of the youkai trying to court Kagome? What is he going to do if the Northern Lord tries the same thing? He really might be safer leaving her behind!! Except then, of course, she would follow him and he wouldn't be there to protect her!! Thank you so much for the fabulous update!! I really, really, really can't wait for more!!!!

yeah...good updates! love the sesshoumaru "sleeping" with kagome scene. i thought it was so kawaii. and wow...sesshoumaru actually admits to something! saying he has an 'attachment' to kagome is a big step considering who we're talking about here. and i love inuyasha's little speech about how sesshoumaru should court kagome. lol it's a nice change to see inuyasha making sense and being in a calm rational state. don't see that very often as shown with the great way he dealt with his argument with moriko. lol love that scene too btw! anywayz, i'm loving the fic and i can't wait to see how long before kagome and sesshoumaru finally lets loose! lol ^_-

I just quick smoking two months ago, thankfully I have a new addiction to fill the void...Your story!!! I cannot tell you how thrilled I was that you updated..and so quickly..Yay! Am I am truly glad that you are taking your sweet time with developing their relationship...the best relationships are built upon trust, time, affection, friendship, a dash...scratch that, a huge whopping wonderful helping of lust (ok I'll stop now)...all the things you are slowly bringing together with them. And the longer you take to get them there, the longer this story goes on, so I for one am not going to complain. And I cannot wait for the fun and follies of all of Kagome's many suitors...oh the joy of what you can create with them...I have a feeling the long line of suitors is going to give us all many laughs and poor Sess incesant headaches...

I love what you did with the jewel, it shows trust...but I like the deeper meaning as well, because she did not truly hesitate to give it to him, she did it with such little thought, which to me indicates a truly deep, natual trust...hmmm I am not sure if that makes sense...

Oh and Great chapter as always...Update soon!!! Pretty please, with sprinkles on top and whipped cream...and hunky demon boys and tall, hot, tattooed, silver haired....Ummmm ok, just please update soon! :)

I think Sessho was nuzzling her hair before she woke up. But he will never admit it. :)

Well, I don't think I have reviewed lately. I think I love this part better although I liked the other ones very much. But this one has more fluff. I just can't wait until Sesshomaru fins out what he feels for Kagome. I know the rating for this story, but are there going to be lemons in it?

haha!!! yoshi got a boot to the curb if you ask me! lol, well sesshoumaru may be in some serious denial... but i don't think he's going to be able to tamper his feelings down for much longer! kagome's suitors will make damn sure of that! :-D hmm you and those cliffies! i swear, if my head wasn't so clogged up with this damnable cold..i think i'd fuss lol! *wink* well, anyways, wonderful as allways, and please do update soon! i can't wait ot see who comes calling for kagome next! :-D

As you know I really am enjoying this story but dang their relationship is moving extra slow. I know you are given little by little each chapter but I feel like I am about to scream if they do not make any better progress. "P I will be a year older about the time they have their first kiss! ") I know this is all apart of your plan but it seems that patience is not one of my virtures. Can you give a sista a bone or something, at least something to look forward too! I am just missing with you because I know you have a great since of humor! I can't wait to read your next chapter.

Nice. They are getting closer. Excellent!!!!

ohhh..good chapter..I am actually looking forward to more youkai confronting Kagome, i want to see what quirky ways they try to impress her, the crane dance was hilarious. ^_^

XD

well, anyways, liked the chapter, very cute how she ran after him and fell asleep in his arms...awww...lol.

anyways fab chapter, can't wait till the next one!

I love this chapter. It is indeed a very long chapter. I hope you'll update again soon.

love the long chap... but when will have some romance acknowledge by sessh and kag.... anyhoot, keep up the good work....

Ok I'll be straight on this when are Kagome and Sesshomaru going to kiss??? or when will Sesshy fight for Kagome, make it something like that where Kagome is in trouble and Sesshy-kun rescues her of being courted hehehehe :):P

Ok I'll be straight on this when are Kagome and Sesshomaru going to kiss??? or when will Sesshy fight for Kagome, make it something like that where Kagome is in trouble and Sesshy-kun rescues her of being courted hehehehe :):P

*smiles wide* I like the new chapter! Thanks for the update, keep up the good work! *winks*

This chapter was great!! I can't wait for the next one. I wonder who beat Jaken up though. Even though he is a green, probably slimy youkai he doesn't deserve to be beaten to a bloody pulp. I'm glad that Kagome was able to heal him a little bit too...it certainly made Sesshy greatful of her. Wow...Kagome has great endurance. I know I wouldn't be able to run at the speeds she did for a half a day, thats insane. I found it really funny that the crane youkai came and asked her again though. I didn't expect the same youkai to try and court her...especially while she was running. Hmm....I bet I would be pretty comfy in Sesshy arms too. All snuggled up in his Mokomoko-sama and strong arms....I know I would fall asleep. Kagome's a lucky girl....but I guess not so lucky to have tons of youkai to ask her to court them now. Sesshy will protect them from her though...maybe. He'll probably find it amusing and sit back and watch Kagome be annoyed by them. Oh well. Atleast Kagome gets to travel with Sesshy again when he goes to seek revenge on Ryokusen. Hmm...I wonder what will happen next. Update again soon :D

I'm in love with your fic ^_^ such a beautiful history, just a little excited to see evolution between Sesshomaru/kagome..
Keep going

HIIIII!!! *hugs*
Wow! Another AMAZING chapter! You're amazing, Elle! ^_^

Hehe, well, it's good to know why that crane youkai was trying to court Kagome now....lol! Poor Kagome...I wonder how many of those she will have to deal with?? XD

Wow, it's surprising how long Kagome was able to chase Sesshomaru...she is very determined indeed. XD Hehe, he had to "rescue" her from the crane youkai...that was funny. And aww, the part where he was carrying her was sweet...but hilarious! lol, sorry Kagome, but I'd really enjoy waking up in Sesshomaru's arms! XD

I can't wait to see how this fight with Ryukotsen is going to go! ^_^

Wow, Kagome really trusts Sesshomaru, doesn't she? To let him keep the jewel in a place she can't get to....that's amazing. ^_^

Thank you for being so patient with me....I'm really sorry it's taken so long for me to get it done. *sweatdrops* I normally would have been able to get it done in days..not weeks....but it seems that my teachers REALLY don't like me or somethin.......they keep giving me more and more homework...tons of tests....and even more projects where my partners all want me to do all the drawing for it. UGH! I'm really sorry.....I think it'll probably be done by tomorrow. Hopefully. XD CROSS YOUR FINGERS! ^_^

Yay! Another update. I didn't mind that the chapter was long. I thought it was funny that the crane youkai showed up again. I didn't expect that.

I like Moriko, she can keep Inuyasha in line. It's what he needs. I think it's just nice that she has a sense of humor as well.

I can't wait for the next chapter. Keep up the good work. :)

This is a great story. I have loved every bit of it. The characters are well done, and the interaction between these two are great. Can't wait for more.

So he finally found out. He's going to get Really defensive and confuse the hell out of Kag. And I know Kag means well, but pushy people really annoy me.

OOoooo! That was good. I'm really glad that you had Sesshomaru find out what hte crane wanted. I just want to see his reactions when Yoshi or other male youkai try to court Kagome. I imagine that I shall laugh.

Hey =)
Such a great chapter again =)
Sooo happy, that Sessy gets better..k..it would have been weird if he would have died^^
And how they "slept" together...and finally he accept his.."atachment"^^
Hach..I love this couple =)

I love this story! I read Part 1 on MM, and followed it over here. I can't wait to read more! Looking forward the next chapter.

well done, I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great great great chapter

well done, I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great great great chapter

Damn! I thought there was more...

I just get really into reading and don't even notice when I click the thing that says 'go to next chapter' or whatever it says. So, needless to say, I was a tad confused.

Great, now you've gone and gotten me addicted to your story. I can't wait for the next chapter. Damn you! (And I mean that in a good way...)

-Insane Slytherin

You should complete it, DEFINITLY!

=) your story was great. it's has me grinning from ear to ear. i'm glad everyone's ok. i can't wait to find out what that crane youkai wanted w/kagome =) awesome job!

*sigh* Your updates are always so welcome, I savor them like my favorite dessert, something to take the time to enjoy and relish every delicious word... I wish I could express my enjoyment of it better...or maybe I should just eat something? Either way, I so look forward to seeing your story updated. I get shivers thinking about what to do when this story ends... I may need detox... Anyway, may I say there is nothing better to wake up to then early morning nuzzling!!!! Ahhh....I have never been jealous of a fictional character before..lol..but your story gives such life to your characters. I really enjoy the fact that you take such time and care with the development of each relationship and stage of it. And Sess for all the intelligence he shows seems a little slow on the uptake, dare I say a tad bit emotionally challenged? I know this chapter just came out..but I am already fiending for the next one!!!!

Noooooooooooo NOT a cliffy, im so mad right now, now i will have to wait until you update,wich i hope will be soon.

I loved it please update soon I just came back from a Microsoft Access Seminar :) and couldn't read it until today

I loved it please update soon I just came back from a Microsoft Access Seminar :) and couldn't read it until today

I love the new chapter! Thanks so mcuh for following up on the cliffy, I'm so glad Sesshy's alright! I can't wait to see what happens next. :)

haha sesshoumaru's barriers are down! this could be interesting...very much so....but thank god for updates!!!!!!! i've been soooooo bored with nothing to read today! not only that...but the whole thing with inuyasha acting like a big brother to kagome as he nags sesshoumaru gave me one hell of a giggle fest lol!

Awesome! ^^
I love it, I can't wait for the next chapter!
Thank you for this wonderful story!

i hope the third chapter comes soon, this chapter's even better than the last, this have been one of the best stories i've read, update soon

Thanks for keeping Sesshoumaru in one piece! Great chapter, the healing scenes were full of suspense and compassion. Good for Inuyasha for pushing the if your are going to get frisky you need to court issue.

Hello there!! *waves*
Woo-hoo! That chapter was awesome! XD

I am sooooo glad that Sesshomaru is ok!! *whew* But, it looks like he still has alot of healing to do....especially if he can't keep up his emotional barrier and doesn't even know it. *is worried*

Awww, that part where Kagome fell asleep on his futon was SOOO cute!!! ^_^ And then when he nuzzled into her...awww. ^_^
Ooh, Sesshy-sama is starting to realise he's attracted to her!! XD I can't wait to see how you handle the romance part of the story!!! *dances around room* XD

Ooh, I also can't wait to see why the crain youkai tried to court Kagome...Hmm..

Yay! No cliffie.....lol! No, actually I kinda like cliffies...no, I'm not crazy, I just think that they really add to the story, and it's SUSPENSFUL! XD lol!
Can't wait for the next update!! *hugs*

I WILL finish it today...I will finish it today...I will FINISH it today....today..^_^ -runs off to finish it-
I might not get to send it to ya until tomorrow, though....^_^

Oh yeah....I just remembered...we're going to see a movie today, it might not get finished till tomorrow..I don't know, we'll see. You'll have it within the next couple days, that's for sure. ^_^

Talk to ya later!!

no cliffhanger? you must be crazy, unless I'm the only one who wants to know, why the crane youkai was prancing around...
anyway, hope you update soon!!!!!!!!

Woot WOOT! I was surprsied cuz I had more chappies to read! Way cool!

Now since Sesshy here seems to be in denial, what if he gets a owrthy rival? One that gets Kagome all hot and bothered-to the irrritation of Lord Sesshoumaru.

-Dani.

Wicked! ^_^

*squeals* haha! that chapter has got me grinning like an idiot! that was beyond sweet! how he held onto kagome and how inuyasha helped save his brother! ...man, sesshoumaru is one big arrogant ass bastard!! haha hes half dead and he blantantly snuggles kagome and yet he STILL denies any feeling towards her and pretends hes perfectly fine!! haha hes one major peice of work! ..i had to go lok up what fringe was, i was like huh? turns out its bangs! haha i felt pretty dumb after that lol.... but anyways! awesome chapter as allways! and yeah i would definately be seshsoumaru's personally hired assasin! lol! please update soon!

Yay you updated!! I was so worried at the beginning of the chapter though...it almost seemed like Sesshy wasn't going to make it. That was really kind of Inuyasha to give him some of his blood to help him heal too. Like Kagome said, he may not show it but he does care for his brother even just a little bit. Finally Sesshomaru recognizes some of his feelings for Kagome...now he only has to act on them even though he said he wouldn't to Inuyasha. That was really cute how Kagome woke up next to Sesshy also....I would have been pretty comfortable if I was in Kagome's place. Hmmm....I wonder what was with the crane that was trying to court Kagome too. Hopefully Moriko will find out some interesting info on the subject. Update again soon, and thanks for the non-cliffhanger this time...the last one almost killed me :D

oohhhh!!! darn you i want to know about the damn crane youkai, that chapter was hilarious. ^_^

well, this chapter is good. and yes i am in love with sesshoumaru, bu ti am also in love with your story, it is quite amazing, i'm sure people have told you. lol.

well, please upadte soon, i really want to know!!!

InuYasha impressed me. He hasn't done that for some time. I love scenes of family and friends helping each other. The fact that they do not normally get along made it all the better. As for Kags wanting to snap at him for ordering her around...*rolls eyes* Sometimes you have to just shut up and obey girl! Being the one demanding reasons why in a crisis makes you not only useless, but a hinderance. In character as usual, though I REALLY want to bash 'Yasha with a book or something. I look forward to Moriko's intelligence and the Inu brothers reactions.

A very nice toned down chapter. I loved it as all the other chapters and dare say any upcoming chapters *grins*

Waiting breathlessly for the future chapters as always.

Excellent Job :)

I really enjoyed this chapter, like I enjoy all your chapters. I am liking the development on our favorite couples relationship. It should be really interesting when they finally do get together. It will also be interesting to see what you got up your sleve concerning this bird demon trying to court Kagome. It seems like you are always up to something. ")

Finally, I caught up to you. I kept trying to finish what you had written before I reviewed, but I would come back and there would be a boat load of new chapters. I'm not complaining though. I like how frequently you update.

This is a really good story. I enjoy reading it when I need a pick-me-up after a long, hard day.

I like that you've kept the characters in character for the most part. I mean, you have allowed for growth and maturity which I like. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Ja ne,
Christine

I LOVED IT A LOT!!!!!!!! PLEASE! update more can't wait for the next chapter

OKay, so I love you AND your story. I simply ask that you give me ten times the updates. That way I can sit at home and read the wonderful works of your mind for forever!

Oh yes. Finally! A little fluff. Not much but a great amount! Thank you thank you thank you! Way happy now. Can't wait for the next chappie.

Sessho cuddling Kagome like a teddy bear, I loved it. If she goes to check on him while he is sleeping I think the same thing will happen...

Thank you so much for letting Sesshomaru be alright!! I love the fact that he snuggled with Kagome, that's so cute!! How is he ever going to let down his barriers enough to truly care about her? Please update soon!! I love this story!!

Ooohhh...thank you so much for updating. Please update again soon. I love reading this fanfic and can't wait to read more.

Oh My God...this was so completely unexpected yet thrillng!!! Of all the possible scenarios for their reunion I did not expect Kags to come to the rescue. I love it. Please update soon.

I love your st ory but it's too addicting. O_O GAH! NOw i'm going to be pondering all possiblites of what will happen next, till the next chapter. *mourns* :P Can't wait.

I am addicted to this fic. it is a masterpiece. I don't normally say this but I am begging you to update soon! Great job!

man...why did you have to stop the chapter there?! although i shouldn't be suprised! i'm sure you want us readers back right? *sigh* i probably wouldv'e done the same thing. for goodness sake! you would think after 2 months the guy would finally understand what the hell is going on in the brain of his! at least with kagome the idea is planted in her brain courtesy of sango. well, i guess that's sesshoumaru's problem...he doesn't have anyone to let him know what's going on unlike kagome. well...emotions are alot more different than war strategies and stuff like that. hey, are you thinking of giving title to each part of your trilogy? actually, how many parts are there to the fic? are there gonna be more? and there was a little romance going on in the previous parts of the fic. they were just very subtle and it being 'born' sort to speak. but i am looking forward to seeing these two hookup - finally! lol oh and before i go i loved the whole courting scene by that crane. i'm with kagome...i wouldv'e been too preoccupied with trying not to laugh to notice the fact that it was a courting dance. don't work too hard and hopefully the next update won't be too long.

Oh my frickin' gosh!!!!!!!! How could you leave such a cliffy!?!?!?!?! Have you now mercy?!?!!? I so can not wait till you update so hurry and get your hours in at work so you can write more!

Please tell me when u update this i love a simple legacy!!! i absolutly love this story and i agree its so sad at how they meet again and have kagome kick all the cats asses!!!

Jane!!!

ohhhh, this is too cruel! a third???? but the first two were so good, bring it on.

i love stories that have me on the edge of my seat. this is such an exciting story. keep up the good work. =)

Waah! How could you end it like that!!!??
k..can understand it, would do itlike that too...but..please please bring up the next chapter soon, k?^^
'T was a great chapter!. SOmehow sweet that Rins touch is reassuring Sesshomaru^^
so then..till next chapter^^
ja ne

Please, please come back and update!! I hate that Sesshomaru is wounded!! How will Kagome be able to save him? I love this stories beginning!! I also admit that I am looking forward to the part where Sesshomaru and Kagome kill the Northern Lord!! Hopefully after torturing him!! Thank you for the new part of your amazing story!!

loving it! PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE keep it up, and up date soon.

Oh my!! The courting dance!!!! I can just visualize a human sized pigeon ruffling his feathers and prancing around...Which is so amusing and somehow faintly disturbing...Thank goodness you did not make him start cooing cuz then I may have just spit out my coffee in laughter! By the way, I like the change in Inu...he is finally growing up and the difference in him is natural and easy, you did not force his character into a change so drastic that it does work for him.... Wit that said...you MUST update soon....cruel author to leave us all hanging....Honestly though, your stories are so worth any wait.

*stealthily kills ryukosen* mwahahaha!! ....ahem... like i was saying! lol, this is awesome, as always!!, however, i was in a nervous fit come the end of this chapter because i sooo need to know what is going to happen next! is kagome going to heal him? is he going to die before she can heal him? is he already dead? will kagome be able ot use tenseiga if he's dead? gah!! so many questions and scenarios ran through my head at the end of this chapter that it gave me a headache, lol..... but i think this was one of the best chapters yet!, no choppyness at all and the suspense at the end makes us all want to come back for more!! *mumbles* no matter how evil such cliffies are....*looks around* i didn't say anything... you must be hearing things. :-D ahh too many vault drinks and not anough sleep.... i am being held together with gluesticks right about now and am in dire need of some sleep, so please update soon!! and hmm that bird guy, i beleive i would have fallen over laughing histerically if he did that in front of me!! kagome has some serious composure! well, tata!!

*clears throat* AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! ..write more soon please!
(nice BTW. Can't wait to see his reaction to the 'courting'.)

UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 AHHHHhhhhhh I want to see and read the next part it sounds so amazing!!!! you are great!:)

UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 AHHHHhhhhhh I want to see and read the next part it sounds so amazing!!!! you are great!:)

Bah, I hate cliffies! lol, I hope your updates are still regular. I love your writing style. I'm glad you are continueing this fic.

i know the course of true love never runs smooth but damn...didnn't see that one coming!!!

Seriously Excellent story!

wow what a greating. i bet in all kakomes fantasies and daydreams for the past what was it, two months? she never expected to see that sight. fate is so cruel at times, no? yet i love it, this fic it's so beautifully writen and i really like it. so im hoping that you write soon.

A literary technique used by writers to keep the reader coming back is a cliff hanger, but they are disliked by this ohiowriter.

This is a really good story. Original plot, excellent timing, brilliant wording, and long chapters. You are an excellent writer. If you plan on writing a novel soon id love it if youd e-mail the chapters to me.

oh. my. God! I love it, please pretty please update soon, i just spend the last few hours reading the whole story and it. is. amazing. hooray fo you! your a great writer. I can't wait to see what happens. :-)

Girl you started Part 3 of this series with a bang! It was jammed packed with stuff which I enjoyed reading every minute of it. I can't wait to read the next chapter because it seems like Part 3 is going to be better than the first two.

Oh my gosh...this chapter was really good!! It seems like Kagome and Sesshomaru are thinking about each other now. Awww...so cute!! I can't believe that Sesshy's castle is under attack..thats terrible. I'm glad Rin got away though and found Kagome so they could go to the scene. I hope Sesshomaru is okay and Kagome can save him. I don't think she has ever seen him in a worse state then what he is in now. I found it funny how Kagome was asked to be courted by that crane youkai too...I can just picture someone coming up to her and start prancing around. Heheh...anyway, update again soon. I don't know if I can stand to wait an entire week without finding out what happens because of that HUGE cliffhanger. Keep up the great work!!

Awww...this is just too much for my broken heart. But, cheerfully, I know that you will fix everything in your most excellent way of writing and bringing happiness to this reader. *smiles*

Sess and Kags are at least back in each other's company again regardless of the circumstances. I have a feeling that Kags is not going to be leaving Sess' castle any time soon. I think she has found her true home now.

Excellent job on this chapter. Update when you can, I will be waiting patiently. It's worth the wait.

I've been enjoying this, despite the fact that I tend to not like the ones which change Kagome into something other than human. A big plus for me is that the relationship is progressing slowly, which I always felt was more realistic.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Update soon! *SNIFFLE*
Cliffhangers be EVIL!
But, oh, you do them so well!
Great story, keep it up!

great!!! i love this fic! update again soon!

luv the it.

wow....I am in love...you MUST update soon!!!!


please?


ARG! cliffy...>.

Great! I'm so glad you updated! Great chapter! Can't wait to see what happens!

(still holds heart) OMG!!! So overwhelming!!! I love this story!!! I guess Sesshomaru is unconcious. I wonder how is he going to react when he sees Kagome. Will he wake up in her arms? Is it going to take much longer form them to realise what they feel?

No! You can't leave it like this! Not a cliffy when you're gonna be away for so long! T_T
The third part starts out great with lots of action. Can't wait to read more!

Ahh what a way to meet up..and sadly I have to wait a week to find out what happends next, but the the waiting will make the next chapter all the more better..Can't wait for your next update..part III seems like its goind to be great!

I love your fic. You have me completely hook! Hope you update soon.

Oh wow! This was great...I love this new development and I'm so happy that they meet again.

I can't wait for the next installemnt. I have a gut feeling that Sesshoumaru will be jealous about these youkai courting Kagome. Either someone mentions the first case, either some other come looking for her again.

In which case I can't wait. *grins evilly* I'll wait patiently for you to update dear! *thumbs up*

OMG!! That's awful! Poor Sesshomaru!! *sob* I hope he's going to be ok!!!
What an awful way to meet after 2 months....*sigh*
So, did Sesshomaru manage to kill all of the neko-youkais? I hope so...they deserved to die a slow and painful death for attacking the way they did. >.

The part with the crane....oh my goodness. If I was in Kagome's place....wow...how embarrassing! LOL! I feel bad for the guy, though. *sniggers* But that's just too funny!! LOL! Oh, but he looked so dejected...poor guy. And Kagome didn't even realise what he was doing...lol, poor guy. ^^

Eeee!!! *dances around room* Thankyuuuu sooo much for featuring my drawing! *hugs till you turn blue* ^_^ I'm almost done with the second one...just gotta finish the background...and figuring out how to draw the water splashes..never tried that before, so it's entirely new to me. ^_^

No need to hurry with the update...we'll survive. I hope. ^_^

Great beginning for part III. Lots of surprises and angst. Another cliffie didn't make me too happy but I'll forgive you for that. The crane youkai's courtship ritual presented to an ignorant Kagome was humorous. I hope he did not hear her laugh. I hope Sesshoumaru is alive with all of his parts intact. (I am so tacky.)

Kagome gets to do some more healing

great new chap

Wooh! Finally time for teh lovin'!

AHEM >>;;; Anyways, uhh...hm..I've got nothing o.o;

Oh wait! I have a feeling that since the cat clan of the north is comming in to the story..mayhaps other kitties maybe making their appearence. Like mayhaps...Touran? Brr...it just got cold all of a sudden.

I think I might have an idea as to why all of a sudden a strange youkai came up to Kagome and started a mating dance...
I think it has to do with Moriko.

Here is my train of thought on that...Youkai on a baser level are animals. Animals are creatures of the earth and are always intuned with it...Im thinking that Moriko who felt bad by taking Kagome's first love away sent out a message through nature for a sutiable mate to come find her...hence the Crane... I dunno, that's just my thought...either that or some rumors flew out of Kouga's mouth and spread how she was working with Sesshoumaru and defeated Naraku and was all powerful...but I like my first idea better..

And to answer your question, ACTs are a form of testing here in the US that are based out of a score of 36. Certian colleges only take students with high ACT scores (dont ask for what ACT stands for...I've forgotten) In other words, what we get on the ACTs determines our whole future practically. And Im all caught up on work...so it was also like studying...so Im good for next week ^^.


Another intresting chapter, keep on whipping these bad daddies out. And, as ususal, Keep on truckin' (heck yes)

OH MY GOD!!!!!! Sesshy! -glare- oh you're good!

Great!! Keep it up.

OOOOOOOhhhhhhh !!! What a chapter... Poor kagome.. Poor Sesshomaru... They see each other after so long to be like that...
I can't wait for the rest of this story..
I have enjoyed reading it.. You are doing a great job with it...
Now If we can get them to stop being stubborn and admit there feelings for each other that would be good..
Can;t wait to see what you have in store for them..
Hurry and update please... Can't wait..
take Care
Mari

Arrrggghhh I hate cliffies. I hate you!!! (sulking and pouting). ;)
I think it was a great chapter. What a great start! Please update soon.

OMG! Next chapter please!

ACK!!!! The one time I actually have enough time to leave a review for this awesome story and I feel like I just fell out of my chair!!! Wait...nvm...I did...CLIFFHANGER FROM HELL!!!! LOL!

But anywho...I would've reviewed LONG before now but I usually end up reading this story during school and I barely have enough time to finish a chapter. But I LOVE this story!!!!! One of my all time faves! I give you grand props because it's really, really hard for me to find good Sess/Kag fictions these days...sadly...but this story has kept me entertained and on my toes. Awesome writing!

As always another brilliant chapter. I so love this story, it is well written, and something to be savoired like a fine wine. I look forward to the next installment!

Ahh! Cliffy. I love the new chappie, though! Can't wait for the next update. :)

GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You certainly don't skimp on the action, do you????? I feel like a kid taught to swim by throwing 'em in a lake! this story moves like lightning!!!! Fabulous chapter! Good length, too. Slightly long chapters are more fulfilling in my book. But sweet, sweet Lord, that intensity! GAH! I loved it!

Oh, and the crane mating dance thing had me snorting my coffee through my nose, which burned a little, but was oh so hi-LAR-ious!!!!

Wow.. you better update fast if you gonna pull a cliffy like that on us:-P

Ugh... *cries* lol

-TripleR-

*GASP* What happens next?? How could just leave it off there you horrible horrible person!!! I must know what happens next or I'll die!!!! So please update soon!!

a cliffy!! :( poor sesshou

Do continue.
*claps happily*

wow! i really enjoyed reading your story! you did an amazing job & i can't wait to read what happens next. =)

omg! i cant believe that ending! it was great really great. too bad they're separated once again ... so sad, i cant wait for part 3

Oh the humanity! That was a perfect moment for him to just grab her and kiss her silly. Le sigh. But i guess that would have just been out of no where. He he. He didn't want to leave her though. Oh he shall fall!! I can't wait!

^.^ I liked it. sucks to be her..... and I'm curious where their going to find the last shard.

OMG!! My heart just went up to my throat. Can't these two realise their true feelings for each other? Is Kagome going to transform in yukai? I hope not, but if she does... oh well...I will still love this story.

YAY! So long spider breath! Sorry about the well Kags. I look forward to the new group dynamics.

...hmm! awwe!!! man sesshoumaru is in some kind of denial! i don't think amnesia patients can claim denial that deep lol! well part 2 was awesome! haha, but part 3 better hurry up and fix this cliffed ending!! can't wait to read it and see what happens!!!!

so awesome!!! i'm in luv with ur story. thanxs for this new chapter and all ur hard work.!!!!!

I enjoyed part Part 2 of this story. I am really looking forward in reading Part 3 because I know things are going to start getting very interesting for a famous couple. Can't wait to see how the torture begins! "P

Woot.
How long will part three be? I loved one and two. I can't believe you built it up to such a tense moment then ended it : ) (the moment between them I mean) I look foward to the next installment. thanks

That was great! Very original, and I love how you don't rush the Kagome/Sesshoumaru relationship. I can't wait to read part 3, thanks for updating so often!

He he ..ooh I love this story. Your flow is excellent, grammer is great, and the updates are frequent. Thank you for being a conscious writer. But back to the story..my excitement is building as I watch the two grow closer. That cliffy just about killed me...but that's why I keep coming back for more. Please torture me some more and update again!! Love it!

Whew!...that was sweet. Nicely done on this chapter and the fanart was nice too. I found myself hoping that they would hug or kiss or something other than standing there looking at one another...oh well, maybe next chapter, yes?

Well done :)

Part two was great! Can't wait for more!

O.O oh my gosh! The final battle is over, but where's the last shard I wonder...oh crap I hope Naraku didn't use it to escape, that'd be terrible! But then again maybe that bear taiyoukai has it...hmm...I wonders...

ACK! I can't believe that Sess didn't stay with her. *sniffles* They were just starting to bond to...T.T

I just CAN'T wait for part three! Maybe, finally, they'll get together and Inu and Moriko will get together too!

no! im actually crying, you cant leave me in such suspence and the tension oh man talk about killer. wow that is one of the best destroying naraku scenes i read in like ever its so.. original and wow cool. words fail me but i hope you update soon

Ooohhhh...I love it. I can't wait to read the part where there'll be even more chemistry between Sesshomaru and Kagome. I love the fact that you update this story very often. I can't wait to read part 3. I hope you'll update again very soon. Thanks :)

*tackles* New chapter, and I got too lazy to review the last two. ^^

I have offically destroyed the pawn with some green poison I 'found'...screw it, I can tell that part three will officaly start to focus on their relationship with the sub plot of the last shard.

I think that was rather sad how you ended the last part of Part II...almost made me cry. Soooo...you going to do the whole deal with the last shard in Touga/Sugumi/Inu No Taisho bit? Wait, forget I asked that, you wouldnt answer it anyway. xD

Three cheers for destroying Naraku! Or is he going to pull another Houdini? Like popping out of a tainted shard like in the movie?

Meh, need to finish make-up homework...evil sickness has caused me an overload of work that causes my wrist great pain, but it must be done...Friday shall be my salvation day! (then ACTs next week, KUSO!)

As usual, Keep on Truckin'

that was excellent, i look forward to part 3

Good thing Kagome realized that she was seeing an illusion...same thing for Sesshomaru too. I just knew something was off when they started to fight...it just didn't seem like Sesshomaru would do something like that while looking for Naraku. Wow...that seemed like a really powerful attack with everyone's combined powers. I would have been pretty scared seeing a huge blast of power coming from Sesshy and Inuyasha. Oh no...there is one more shard left. I bet Naraku is still alive and has it. Geeze...he doesn't die very easily does he. I totally forgot about the well being in the area. That's terrible that Kagome can't go back to her time now...I feel so sorry for her. I can't wait to find out what happens in the third part though. Update again soon and keep up the wonderful work!! :D

LUVED part II. last chapter was terrific!!!

I want to cry Sesshy-kun don't leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

I want to cry Sesshy-kun don't leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

Interesting, what will Sess do when he discovers he misses her too much to wait?

-Dani.

update soon

Great!!! story!!!!

Once again I am dying for more. I really love this story! *hopes to see another update soon*

Fantastic chapter. Maybe worth the cliffy. The battle was so vivid and I cried at the end with Sesshoumaru walking away.

I'm so sad that Sesshomaru left!! I'm glad though that he really didn't want to!! I can't wait for the next part of this amazing story!! You are an incredible author!! More soon please!!

those two need to so get over them selves. Later!!

O man! I had a nice long review all typed up and it vanished!!! *fumes* Grr.

Ok, let's see if I can remember what I said...

Omigosh!!! That was...absolutely amazing!!! *worship's you* ^_^

I am soooo glad that Naraku's finally gone!! *celebrates* XD The fighting in this chapter was amazing. The part where Kagome was captured by Naraku and then used her connection with Sesshomaru to get him to attack...that was soo cool! The resulting combined attact of all 3 of them was incredible! ^_^
Your drawing of that scene was awesome...I loved it!! 3

I'm really really sad that their agreement is over though!! *cries* But, it's great that they are going to see eachother again once Kagome has found the last shard! ^_^ Oh yeah, that reminds me....I can't believe that there is still one more shard left! Where could it be??? Kagome and Sesshomaru searched all over for them..how could they have missed it?? And then the well...that is soo sad. She'll never get to see her family again...*cries* Unless....now that she has the strength of a taiyoukai...would that mean that she would live as long as one too? It could be a possibility...

When Sesshomaru was reluctant to leave Kagome...that was very sweet. ^_^ No matter how much he wants to deny it...she's grown on him. XD

I can't WAIT for the next chapter!!! *is excited* XD This is really getting exciting! *jumps up and down* lol!

P.S. .................still working on it...........lol. Sorry it's taking so long...I've had to redraw it a bunch of times because I just can't get it to work for some reason...it's frustrating to say the least. XD But I'll get it done eventually. I promise. ^_^

Wow, I did not even have time to review last chapter before you sent out this one. Great end for Naraku...and I am impressed with your battle scenes, you plan them out very well, like any amazing general would! Upon reading this chapter I was afraid that the end was soon in sight for this wonderful tale of yours...but yippeee..there is still so much to go. You left alot open with the pendant going god knows where...and I wonder if Kags is really ok...And wow, poor Sess fighting his feelings with every nuance of logic and discipline he possesses and the best part is, is that he seems to be completely unaware that he is fighting any feelings! I truly love this story, I look forward to each and every update...

Wow... A really good chapter! I wonder what part 3 will revolve around... The completion of the jewel, I suppose. It's gonna be interesting to see how you will manage to get the two of them to be alone again. Now that Naraku is killed and only one shard is missing, he's no longer needed.
I can't wait to find out what happens next!
Oh, and your art was really good! (aww, the brothers are hugging! ^^) I'm no good with drawing backgrounds, but I see that you are. :)

hi! i'll make this short (or try) since i'm still sick *sniffles* don't know how i managed to read those chapters with this hacking cough and oncoming headache. first off ch. 13 made me laugh! w/sesshoumaru acting the way he was! it's amazing how one's mind can rationalize everything and know when to effectively use denial. i doubt you'll find sesshoumaru smile and uncomfortable very often let alone in the same chapter. kagome reminds me of those kids who always asks "why?" to everything an adult says. it totally pisses and annoys everyone everytime! lol and i kinda saw moriko forming a thing for inuyasha when he was made to guard her. i don't know how i know, you didn't really leave any clues or whatnot (right?). but knowing inuyasha he'll probably do his famous 'foot in mouth' and 'head up his ass' routine. lol nice buildup of the tension (both annoying and sexual) between the our couple. makes me laugh! don't know if that was your intention. btw, thanks for the email alert. truly appreciated it. okay i gotta go and hack up a lung or whatever other body organ that comes up *COUGH-HACK*

So, is everyone under the same spell or just Kagome? I think maybe everyone should have held hands before entering the big, bad forest!! Haven't they ever been on a school field trip? JK :) Excellent update!! Can't wait for more!!

oooooh.. so mean to end it there!!^^'
But..its not real what Kagome sees, is it? SOme kind of an illusion?
Great cjapter! And I really like the scene betweeen Inuyasha and Sesshomarou^^
=)

hmm! so evil you and your cliffies! lol, this chapter was kind of choppy in places, but otherwise very good! i wonder what kind of trap naraku has planted for them this time, this kind of reminds me of the episode where they all fell asleep in the forest and had nightmares or something like that? haha its late.. i have my excuses for not remembering exactly lol! :-D anyways, haha, i think sesshoumaru and kagome might get closer in this next chapter? *hint hint* at least i HOPE they do lol. you had a few grammatical errors, but nothing big. i definately can't wait for the next installment! please update soon, im still loving this story!, P.S. maybe sesshoumaru won't think moriko led them into the trap... and i wonder how long naraku had this planned... sometimes i wonder if moriko has always been a plant/spy of naraku.. please update soon!

As good as ever. And of course I was laughing as Sesshoumaru's discomfort! I often find enjoyment in other peoples' discomfort, though it will often depend on the situation. Though I have no InuYasha fics to prove it (I'm mainly Harry Potter based in that aspect, though I do have one planned), I show my characters no mercy.

Anyway, so it's really good. Your chapters are as good as ever and the story is as good as ever. I hope to see another soon. I suppose it will happen because you update very quickly.

Thank you for bestowing us with this lovely gift!

-Insane Slytherin

My damn one minute they is all together then BAM Sess and Inu trying to kill each other! O.O Yey, Inu has an admirer! ^-^ Sess is finally starting to realize he likes Kagome...hehehe pervy dog hehehe...

One is real and the other is Naraku's puppet right???

One is real and the other is Naraku's puppet right???

Can you say 'trap' oh gullible one. 'You shouldn't kill things' @_@ Who diied and made her security? Her morals superimposed over him is just the type of think I'd expect from a nosy human. ^_^

Excellent...another good chapter. The sign of a good writer is when they leave their readers panting for more and you did just that with your cliffhangers.

Great job...update soon because I'm *panting* for more...give me more. :)

You are right you are wrong for the cliffy but that makes us want to keep reading more. This was a very interesting chapter and I am interested to see why the two brothers turned on each other. Knowing you it is going to be very entertaining. Until next chapter.

very good! i like inuyasha being with moriko? (sp) hasnt this happened before in an episode? with those dream vine things.

I just read both stories and the side stories just now. I really like this story. It is taking the right amount of time for them to start liking eachoer and its not a bit boring. Update soon. PPPPLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSSEEE

My predictions: Sesshoumaru is going to explode soon. Sesshoumaru is fighting a transformed Naraku or an illusion is going on. The well will end up being destroyed. The author will end up maimed if teasing and cliffe abuse of the readers continues.

Another great chapter...but a cliff hanger!! Ahh..now I have to wait to find out what happens. Geeze. So, Inuyasha has an admirer...she is alot better than Kikyo. I didn't even think about Inuyasha trying to attack her while loosing control. That was a pretty good idea...atleast I think so. I wonder why Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are fighting each other...unless they aren't really them. I wonder where everyone else is too..and Naraku is in Inuyasha's Forest. That doesn't sound good already. Hopefully he didn't do anything to the well. Keep up the great work and update again soon!!

0_0 Normally a fight between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru would be commonplace but... WTF!!! I didn't see that coming! Whoa! Damn cliffies. I know god is getting me back for all the cliffies i've written. Oh the humanity!!!!!!!
*achem* Great Chapter btw!

o.m.g. has naraku posessed inuyasha? has a spell been cast to make them fight? where's sango and miroku!?!?!? AAAAH, update soooon!!!!!!!!!

an illusion????

ergg...cliffy, you must update soon!!!!!!!!!
please?

great chappy!
^_^

OMG!!! What's going on?!? Is it an illusion, or is that really what's happening??!


...

Ok. I liked how you handled the argument between Kagome and Sesshomaru in the beginnin. It was very well written, and very believeable. ^_^ I wonder why Kagome's questioning got to Sesshomaru like that?

Aww, Moriko likes Inuyasha. How sweet! ^_^ I also liked how Kagome got Sesshomaru to go and talk to Inuyasha. It really shows how they're improving with their relationship as brothers. ^_^
But...what's this fighting at the end??? Like I said earlier..is it an illusion, or are they really fighting??

I can't WAIT for the next update! I can't wait to see what happens! ^_^

P.S.....still working on your drawing....it's taking longer than I thought it would..^^ *sweatdrop* I WILL get it done, though, I can promise you that. ^_^

Arg! I can't wait! LOL. *bows* I will restrain myself and wait for your continuation.

OMG...I love this chapter (and hate the cliffy). Please please please update soon. I can't wait to read more. Thanks :)

Noo! Not a cliffy! T_T Mooooore!

Oh my gosh! I think Sess finally stumped Kagome! Who knew the Ice Prince had a sense of humor? I like this side of him it's so amusing to see him doing the teasing for once! ~~~LOL, wow Kagome really knows how to get under Sessy's skin! I wonder if he'll tell her his age later...hehehe...can't wait to see how Koga reacts to Kagome later on!

Thanks for updating! *steals Inu's icecream and gives it to elle*

Personally speaking, I am quite enjoying your series of "A Simple Legacy". You have a very good way of conveying the character's thoughts without it sounding so immature and cliche. I can see the changes growing between them without all the immature, "why am I feeling this?..She's so beautiful, but human. Am I in love with... How can I feel this... Oh, I just want too,but it wouldn't be right...] You know all the stupid things that have become so redundent that you just go to read some thing else. And you are actually developing a plotline and creating character development, not just having them look at each other and say let the good times roll sort of thing. I 've been spoiled as of late with the writing of a hand full of writers I'm sure you know, but their talent and storytelling abilities have me looking with a more critical awareness and my Grandma always used to say if you haven't anything nice to say, then say nothing at all...good advice,ne? I hate to hurt others feelings,but if I feel you have worth as a writer, you should be told. I'm never said I am good at Grammar, punctuation and what not, so I leave that up to your fellow writers or English Majors out there. But you have a wonderful gift and if I have not written you before to let you know...I am now! God Bless you and your talent.

Woo-hoo! Another AWESOME chappy elle! ^_^

I looooooved the part where the lizard finally makes his appearance!! And just think...now that I've actually gotten to read it, I can now draw a better picture for ya! XD Still sooo sorry for not getting it done in time though. :(

Ooh, the part where they found Kouga and Ayame *ahem*...yes..., it was HILARIOUS!! LOL!
Poor Sesshomaru...Kagome just wouldn't leave it be. XD hehe, I'd probably ask the same questions. LOL! Oh! It seems as though Sesshomaru is getting closer and closer to Kagome..no matter how much he doesn't mean to. ^_^

I can't wait to read the next instalment! This is REALLY getting exciting!! *does dance* XD

HonouTenshi

ohhh, i completly loved this chapter it was great, especially around the end , with kagome asking so much, it was great hope u can update soon

Oh that was just great. The way you allow your story to flow so naturally makes me look forward to every single new chapter and development! And Kagome's questioning of Sess! lol...I felt myself squirming for him! Hmmm but I wonder when she is going to realize just how she feels for him...right now she seems a little oblivious! Oh but I have a feeling that soon enough sparks are really going to fly! As always, I cannot wait for your next chapter!!!

Hmmm maybe next she can ask if youkai get urges... and tell him humans do. And then ask what would an unmated male do about urges?

O.o I liked that chapter it was good, I wander how Kagome is going to deal with Sesshoumaru's little outburst.

Heyho
nice chapter again =)
Hach..dream-couple, dream-attack..;P
I would love to see Narakus face, when he sees the attack *g*
Your FF is great!^^

totally cool chapter... i think kags innocence in her question are too cute... especially since they are reeking havoc on sess... cant wait for the next chapter... later

^_^ aw...akward conversations. Well I can't wait to see what happens next.

This has to be the best in-character sesskag fic I have read since House of the Moon. I love the fact it's progressing slowly and there's a lot of uncertainty between the two. Great job!

As always another good chapter. You weren't lying this was going to be a very slow, slow, slow process! "P Anyhow I am enjoying this slow, slow, slow process in how they are coming to realize their feelings. I see this become a weird sort of love story. Until next chapter.

huh? why did he get so mad? i don't think he has a reason to..... unless he can't control his urges for kagome or he does want a mate and is lonely and wants a family and its atouchy subject??? please clear this up, and maybe the part about scroging without becomming mates? i really love this story... but i am very confused right now :( lol, guess i will have to wait for my curiosity to be sated until the next chapter! ... haha so don't keep me waiting too long lol

I love this update!! Hopefully Kagome doesn't think Sesshomaru is gay now, especially after his comment about not needing a mate!! I'm glad that Sesshomaru wasn't too mad at Kagome for having to stay longer in her time!! It is so cute how he fights his feelings for her!! Please post again soon!! I'm really enjoying this story!!

Ooohhh...thank you so much for updating so soon. I hope you'll update again soon. I can't wait to read more. Thanks :)

A love how Kagome reminds me of a toddler who is always asking "why". Keep up the good work!!

wow. loved this chapter...(and 12, i forgot to review! =/)

i love the interaction with Sesshoumaru and Kagome..!!!! ^_^

The kouga and ayame scene was great! hahaha
XD

well, great chapter (s)!
Please update soon!

Aww he yelled at her how mean. I liked the chappy update soon

Oh this is just so fascinating. I like the direction that it seems to be proceeding in...especially the feelings that Sess seems to be developing for Kags but tries to play it off *smirks*

Good chapter. Hope to see more updates soon...love your writing style :)

I love explosions!!! Cool arm band new jpowers and a sex ed class with a hot demon lord. What more could a crazy fan girl ask for?

he he! Way to put old Sesshy on the spot. He soooooo wants her! *evil grin* He should just get over himself. He he. I love the way you write Sesshomaru's reactions. So funny!

Haahhahahahha that is fun, hey where do you have the pictures I could'nt see them the other day.

Haahhahahahha that is fun, hey where do you have the pictures I could'nt see them the other day.

luv the chapter!!!

I almost want that argument to continue in the next chapter :D

Ooh, another chapter up! :D I love it when you update so often! *sends a bouquet of flowers as thanks*
Poor Sesshoumaru, he's in over his head. Kagome never knows when to shut up. *grins*
Keep those chapters coming! :D

I love this story! When r u gonna get to the good stuff like when Seshomaru admits he likes our Kagome? And the final battle?

I was so sure that he'd jump through the well. What a surprise. His maturity is rather refreshing. As for Kagome's persistent curiosity...(rolls eyes) Have some tact LITTLE girl! Talk about inappropriate!

I loved it the explanation of mating to kagome was kool please update more and i hope they get together soon

Awww...Sesshy's so nice letting Kagome go back to her time for two days. He felt lonely without her too, so cute!!! Wow...Kagome's powers have become stronger. She can run really fast now...I wonder what else she can do. I find it really sweet that she gave Sesshomaru some books and the 'protector thingy' too after coming back to him. Heheh...that was a pretty funny situation that the two of them got into with Kouga. Kagome just couldn't keep her questions quiet....but thats okay since it was really funny. I wonder what will happen next. Update again soon and keep up the great work!!

hehe... he seems flustered! could it be, that Sess is thinking naughty things? *grins*

just wanted to say that i'm really enjoying the fic. i really like your writing style with the easy flow through the scenes. can't wait for the next update. oh by the way, i like how the romance is not rushed, it seems more believable. like the interaction between our two lovebirds. lol

"But for now, he would deign to suffer her hug."

Oh, the terror! The horror! Such a horrible thought is that of letting the Miko hug him! And how terrible of her to have given him nightmares for the next 320 years! Shameful! Despicable! How does she sleep at night...

Sorry. Sarcasm is a natural daily happening for me but I was oddly void of it today. There was still a bit left in my system.

Anyway, it's still progressing well. Loved the little thing about Kagome's emotions, not to mention her measures of persuasion. Very amusing. I await the posting of the next chapter with baited breath.

-Insane Slytherin

I see some softening in Sesshoumaru's armour regarding Kagome. I especially liked his logical thought progression after listening to Kouga state his reasons why Kagome would make such a good mate and would make him stronger. Poor Kagome. The uncertainty of the well is always hanging over her head. All the chapters have been great. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us (OK me).

Oh how the sparks are flying! I bet Sesshoumaru's gonna get quite angry if she doesn't show up in time. I bet he either tries to jump the well himself or sends Inuyasha to fetch her. Either way, he won't be too happy when he meets Kagome again.

Ah, can't wait to read more! :D

i would love to know what is going on with sesshoumaru and kagome.

I have the feeling that she's about to have company. *snicker*

So what happens next....maybe kagome doesn't get in and then Sesshy yells at her about being late but she breaks down and then he has to sooth her....or she does get in and has to bring those heavy medical text books back...eek! Then she can show how pictures of how the human body works and all the stuff on the inside...wouldn't that just amuse everyone! Love it keep it coming...and keep us guessing!

That was a great update. I loved the way Sesshy showed a crack on his emotional armor. I can't wait for Kags full potential to surface and to see when they realize they love each other.

Ack! I'm dying! More, please! I read the first part a while back and absolutely loved it. Now this second one is even better! I hope you get some more updated soon, I can't wait. :)

Wow, such a great chapter again...I looove the scene by the stream...and how Sesshy realizes, that he care for her(I mean..when he found her, after Inuyasha left)
And you're updating so fast! That's cool^^...I wish I would be that fast with my chapters..hehehe...^^'
I'm looking forward for the next chapter =)
cya, mika

i bet sesshoumaru came down the well!! it wouldnt surprise me if he was now able to pass the time slip due to their new connection. hm and oh he wanted to kiss her! haha that was so sweet of him to apologize in a not so apologetic way lol, anyway :) please update soon! i can't wait until the --i would assume-- argument happens when kagome comes back late! keep it up!...oh and btw i think one reason inu isn't taking the whole kagome thing so bad is that he is falling for moriko? i think so anyways lol. ps. and yes rapunzel! haha he is seeming to be overly protective of her as the time progresses, and he definately lets her walk all over him at times in front of inuyasha. that would be hilarious!, sesshoumaru flinging his hair up the tower.. i think he would just either jump up there, or use his acid to melt it down to an appropriate level lmao! anyway, enought rambling! update soon!

Oh my! It seems like everyone's got Kagome and Sess's relationship figured -except- Kagome and Sess! Hahaha! Only Sess could "suffer" a hug, poor guy's in over his head and don't even know it! And YEY, Kagome's got demon power now! Look out Sess, there's a new taiyoukai on the block. Hahahaha...
Can't wait for the next chappie! I bet Sess won't be too happy about havin to wait *evil laugh* Kagome is SO in for it! Anyways, thankies for the new chappie! *gives elle a cookie*

Nice Chapter It Was Nice ... It Was Fluffy But Without The Fluff Ya Noe! Cant Wait To See How Kagome Results Turn Out ... UPDATE SOON PWEASE!

I see slowly everything is coming together for our famous couple. I bet I can expect in the next couple of chapters they will be very familer with each other! ") The plot thickens and I look forward to seeing what happens next.

luv it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. That was a close one for Sesshomaru in the beginning...I thought he might get hit for a second. Thats really cool that Kagome has some of Sesshomaru's strength too, now Sesshy can train her some more. I really love how they are growing closer, to bad they don't really realize their feelings for each other yet. I'm so glad that Sesshy lets Kagome go home too; Inuyasha would have made her stay and look for shards. Hmm....I think Kagome's mom knows what's going on between her daughter and Sesshomaru as well. Heheh...Kagome is so clueless about her relationship it seems though. Oh well. I can't wait until the next chapter, update again soon!!

Yup she is growing up hehehe

Oh my, what to say, what to say. Awesome chappy, of course! I REALLY enjoyed reading it!

Yay! More progress!! XD The scene where Sesshomaru was disturbed by her (almost) tears was very sweet. I really like that he actually let her go when he saw how distressed his reaction had made her. ^_^ Although....I wonder what he'll do when Kagome comes back 2 days late???? I bet he'll never let her go back again...Oh boy. LOL!

The part where Inuyasha confronted Kagome about Sesshomaru trusting her was veery interesting! XP I'm glad that Sesshomaru trusts her enough to be able to sleep around her. Aww. ^_^

The Kagura imposter was very surprising! I definately wasn't expecting that one! Good job, you surprised me! XD
Did Sesshomaru really have a 'relationship' with Kagura? Like the one Kagome was thinking about? Or was it simply a one-sided relationship..where Kagura liked Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru was only using her to get info on Naraku? I hope it was that last one....*shudders at thought of SesshomaruXKagura* Ick!!!

Can't wait for the next update!!! *is excited* ^_^

Well, I'll show you what sort of thing I draw...because I don't really know how to answer that question..*sweatdrop* Lol, here, just take out the spaces: http: //honoutenshi. deviantart. com/
Scroll down until you see the blue button that says 'Browse Gallery' and click it. ^_^ There's 3 pages I think...
Alot of those are really old, though...so yeah. ^^ Uhm, I'm not the greatest at drawing backgrounds...but I'll try for ya. ^_^
Alrighty, I think I've got a pretty good idea of what I want to draw....I'll let ya know when I get it done. TTYL!

Ahh..how sweet! Kagome's mother realizes that her baby is falling in love! As for Kagome what if she smells of Hojo, will Sess be jealous and ask? Even if it is as innocent as a dance at a club in celebration for passing the exams with her frinds? UPDATE SOON!

-Dani,

you always brighten my day

I love this update!! Thank you for having Kagome realize that Sesshomaru is actually a sexual being, not just a cold statue!! Even though I don't like his past with Kagura, I like that Kagome now sees him in a different light!! Sesshomaru was also so sweet to let Kagome go home!! I like how he is starting to care about her feelings, even though he is still fighting it!! Thank you so much for this story!! I just hope that Sesshomaru won't be mad when Kagome comes back two days late!!

*ahem* Dun dun dun...it's another review from the dreded Seli!! Muahaha...*attention is drawn away when the pawn moves another inch or so* HECK YES! *pounces on the pawn*

Er...right...review...um...what was I going to say? Ah yes

1. The whole 'Sesshoumaru's Charm' thing...what charm? That guy is as charming as a hot mountain...with abs of steel...but still, I dont think that he even charmed Kagura to begin with...*shudders* I know there are some KaguraxSess fans out there going 'HECK YES HE DID!' and here is my response to that. (spoiler..I suppose >>;) SHE FSKING DIES!! IN HIS ARMS NO LESS! And he did -nothing- to revive her. So pffffftt.

2. Im starting to think Naraku has a puppet fetish or something.. I mean seriously, whether he is fighting as one or using people as puppets for his bidding...he's still using em...and all of a sudden the word 'Chuckey' is flashing somewhere near by...

3. Yes..Kagome slept with Sesshoumaru. *whacks perverts* I am honestly shocked that he has that much trust in her...kinda scary though. I wonder...if Kagome says jump..will he jump? Hehe >3 Just random thoughts.

4. Dangit!!! I told you you should use the damn mokomoko-sama on Kagome to drag her along. I mean, yeah, it was to cool her off by threatening to dump her in a stream...but it would be funny if she was dangling from the pelt and Sesshoumaru had this wicked smile on his face... oh well

5. What do you mean 'would' survive? When Inuyasha got that gash in his side...Kagome fretted, and Sesshoumaru said that Inuyasha -would- survive. Methinks that's the wrong tense...I think it's he 'will' survive.

6. I think that the idea of the fight scene in my last review did come from another fic...I've read so many it's sad, but it wouldn't suprise me if my memory supplied that from a story I read long ago...and what the hell do you mean not after they defeat Naraku? Are you going to put them through some angsty romance of jealousy and betrayal and Sesshoumaru acting like a little twit with his emotions?! Seriously, I swear his emotions are literaly bottled up...and if they were...and Kagome found em..hehe..crap I just let out a story idea..oh well. But still, to stay in character, he needs to act like he has a barbed stick shoved up his arse.

Another wonderful chapter, and I am really excited still for the next one. Keep healthy and safe this winter! And Keep on Truckin'! (wewt)

Ja (crap this is a long review ^^;;;)

Man Sesshomaru and Kagome are way blind if even the mom can see what's going on. It's kinda funny reading about their interaction. Keep going. I anxiously await the next chappie.

Well, I haven't reviewed for a long time. I just wanted to say that I love your story, and I have been reading it since the first part. I love the speed the relationship between Sesshomaru and Kagome is moving. And I love the kind of relationship they have. I have to add that it is a good thing that you don't degrade Inuyasha. One more detail I'd like to point out is that Kagome has brown eyes, it's not a very imoportant thing, but it keeps more to the story instead of the blue eyes Kagome has in other stories. I can't wait to read more!!!

I love reading this fanfic. Each chapter gets more and more interesting. I hope that we'll be seeing more chemistry between Sesshoumaru and Kagome soon. Please please please update soon. Thanks :)

Oh, so good, how could you stop like this. Love "A Simple Legacy II"

Ohh...please, I hope you'll update soon. I can't wait to read what's gonna happen next.

ACK!!! NO! *cries in frustation*It can't just end like that! I must KNOW what happens! *sniffles* It's not fair, I wanna know what happens to Sessy...*mumbles* stupid Inuyasha...getting in the way...hope Kagome sits him...

Oh my gosh, that was SO funny when Kagome -made- Sess agree to teach her! *evil laugh* And Kouga's little visit, priceless! Sess is just diggin himself in deeper!

And thankyousomuchforupdatingIloveyouforeverandeversnow!

Great Chapter update soon so I can now what is going on!!!!!!!!!!! please thank you

I love your fanfic please write more.

Heyho^^
Thx for the mail =)
How could you end the chapter at this point????!^^
But, however, I really liked it^^To imagine..Kagome with Sesshomaru , sitting in a tree...=)
Hope, that you'll soon bring up the next chapter^^
(b.t.w., stupid question^^: Is this page..or are you from America or elsewhere? I often asked myself, 'cause ".com" is not so..definite?^^(sry if my english sounds horrible ;P))

Great Cliffy! I cannot wait for the next chapter. And wow...Sess is finally giving her a second thought, glance, salvatory response :) Nice way to work that in... But you mention she has not really seemed interested in a mate...but then what does he think is going on with her more amorous, lusty emotions?? I hate to rush you, but please please update soon!!

a cliffie... hmm... anyways loved the chapter and the legacy.

GAH!!! *throws foam potato in elle's direction!* that is just an evil cliffy! lol, please PRETTY please with cherry flavoured chibi sesshoumaru on top, update soon!! haha, hmm i so want to know what she told him to look out for, and why his eyes widened... thats a good sign something big is about to happen lol.... anyways :) hmm so kagome has had a little help in staying pure has she? haha, well i think that sessh got a shocker when kagome grabbed his arm with such force!, i bet he was second guessing the whole taking his power thing lol. and oh! that was devious of kagome to use such and underhanded tactic to get what she wanted! so very womanly.. she makes me proud lmao! sesshoumaru was obviously affected more than he let on by her overflow of "hormones" as she claimed was the reason behind her gutter-mind, but we all know its just because sessh is just sexy lol. anyway haha, this chapter was a very good one, and i liked the part about where he cuddled her in the tree.. well maybe not cuddled.. but it was close enough lol, and i think sesshoumaru is going to be too arrogant to allow some other youkai or human to possess someone who has his power.. he probably is going ot either rapunzel her but in a tower or mate her himself! ... im voting for the mating her himself bit though lol. anyways enough rambling heh., don't leave me hanging for long, and keep up the good work! p.s. i think this chapter has been one of the best in wither story.. dunno why, but it seemed to flow easier and also retain its edge so it didn't get dull at any point!

Well it is all coming to a head now. We find out about Kagome's past and Sess feelings are slowly being revealed and then we end with a fight. This was a very entertaining jammed packed chapter. I can't wait to find out what happens next as well as to see how Kagome taps in and finds out how to use Sess power with her own.

omg, i love how kagome convinced him to teach her the emotion blocker, HILARIOUS!!! :D

yay, awesome chapters!! i really really like the way the story's going....esp. the part when kagome .... convinces sesshoumaru to teach her to block her emotions XD

AHHHAHAHHAHAH!!! A cliff..... could there be any worse place to put a cliff? *sigh* oh well.......anyway that part at the begining where Kagome figures out what happened before she was born was funny it was kinda cute too seeing Sesshoumaru lose his cool. Keep up the good work and update soon

I still believe that cliffies are an evil amongst all stories. But its just too hard to stay away from your fic, I live it too much!!!

That and the mystery is very thrilling, ne?

~zen

*gasp* whats gonna happen now!?! XD You're like one of my fav authors , you're really amazing. I can't wait till the next chappie!!!!!!!
BYE

NO NO NO!!! DONT LET SESSY GET HURT!!! PWEASE PWEASE PWEASE NO!!! UPDATE SOON I CANT WAIT TO SEE WUTS GOIN TO HAPPEN NEXT!

Good chapter!
^_^
The tree scene was very cute! =)
Well, i enjoyed this chapter very much so. Plesae update soon!

So, Sesshomaru is feeling comfortable around Kagome...and he finds her appealing. Hmm...it was only a matter of time until he did. My questions about Kagome's legacy have been finally revealed as well...yay!! I can't believe that Jaken left Rin back at the castle with Inuyasha. That wasn't very smart, Sesshomaru would be able to protect her better. I wonder what is going to happen to Sesshomaru too. Hopefully he's not going to be hurt. Update again soon :]

luv your chapter!!! was one of the best ever. of course I think that about all your chapters...

Well I'm glad she told him of the dream rather than mentioning it at a crucial, highly inconvenient moment. I also liked her bit of revenge on him. I also hope and pray that he can make clear to her that 'sparing Kouga-kun's feelings' will just hurt him in the long run. Sheesh!

This is very well written, I shall eagerly await an update and wish to see if Sesshy shall show more interest in her nearness and how would he react if he thinks she is attracted to another. Ex. "Kouga has such nice blues eyes; they can be as gentle as a clear stream, with awnings of light that flicker intermittently like fleck of green. Or his eyes can storm a raging blue, an azure so deep you're heart plunges below as well." Whatever. Point is Sesshy hears and is jealous. Reason why Kagome would say this since she has no interest in said wolf could be because she wanted to shut Inuyasha up and she had heard how wounded Kouga had been to his defaming remakrs, and it had been the glimmer iof tears in his eyes which had sparked the idea. You get where I'm goign with this? Sesshy jealous, and has a rival...UPDATE SOON!

-Dani.

O . o
omg wut happenedd?!
this is soo excitinggg
updatee
plllllzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz > .

Ahhhhh!!! A cliffy!!!!! NOO! *runs around screaming about cliffs*

lol, GREAT chapter! I love that Sesshomaru is now having 'thoughts' about Kaogme. ^_^ PROGRESS! XD 3

Ah....so my assumption was correct....that sorceress did put the jewel into Kagome. So.....that spell made it so that Kagome would be pure? Or did I read it wrong?
Oh, now I get it! So that's why they could read eachother's emotions! I woulda NEVER guessed that! Great job! ^_^

I can't wait to see how the fight between Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and Naraku goes!! *is excited* I wonder if Kagome will actually be able to stay out of the fight? Every time Inuyasha has asked her to stay out of fights, she gets into it anyway. *exasperated sigh* lol!

Sweet! ^_^ If you have a particular scene you'd like to be drawn or something, I'll be glad to do my best!
I must admit, though....I'm no professional! XD I'd probably just be in pencil...maybe colored with colored pencils.....I don't exactly have access to a digital program right now...soo... ^_^

Excellent as always. This is getting more exciting. You are such a good writer...update soon.

He he. Great way to manipulate Sesshomaru! I love that! He's getting jealous!!! I love it! I love the way you're subtly bringing up his feelings. Loving it! Can't wait for the next chapter.

No way can the puppet of Naruto hurt Sesshomaru!! At least I hope not!! Hopefully it will be Inuyasha injured!! Just kidding!! Thank you for the excellent update!! I can't wait for more of this great story!!

Oh no Oh no how could you leave off there!! I have to know what happens next you have to update like right now!! Like please!?!?!?

*claps* I can only hope that either Sesshoumaru snaps out of his trance or Kagome decides to show the powers she doesn't even know she possesses yet.

That would be fun!

ohmygod, he brought kanna, didn't he? ohmygodohmygod...

*stares at the pawn reeeaaallllyyy hard* OMFG! It moved an inch! Halla-fskin-luja! Hehe ^^ His mind is drifting further and further south. Soon the dreams will haunt him...muahahaha...

AHEM! Anyway, this chapter really caught my intrest, the ball did seem like it was rolling, and that is very good. Hehe...the whole tree thing was funny. As well as once again, we have the pupet master Naraku making his unwanted presence known.

I knew I was right on the whole power blending bit. I knew it I knew it I knew it! Just the cause behind it was unknown...but I knew there was some sort of power mingling going on. x3

Kouga...he's going to get himself killed one of these days...his brashness is worse than Inuyasha's...let the slaughter begin. x3 *doges knives thrown by Kouga fans*

Element of suprise is a good thing to consider. I can immagine: Final battle, Kagome is faced off with Naraku. He expects to kill her weak pathetic human self in a matter of seconds. She whips out her kodachis; he laughs. Then all hell breaks loose when he tells her that he knew of her training, but she still goes all martyr on his ass and atempts to kill him despite the fact he knows what she can do. Then the spell kicks in, she gets youkai speed or something, and hauls ass as a battle wages. Then the clearest ending to the battle: Kagome severly wounded, Naraku dead, Sesshoumaru pissed off because he was held back from helping the fight or down right taking Naraku's life. Then...I unno...havent thought that far. Maybe Kagome dies, Sesshoumaru saves her, they become mates..the whole cliche bit (GOD FORBID!)

Yes, this is definatly getting good, and putting me on the edge of my seat again. Kudos!

Keep on Truckin'

Ooooh la la!! It would seem little Kagome's not so innocent! One can't but wonder *exactly* what or rather who she's dreaming of! Hehehe! I wonder what Sess would do if he caught Kagome having a wet dream about him! ~falls over laughing histerically~ Thankies for updating! ~gives elle a cookie~

Heyho
I'm a girl from Germany, and I've read your two parts of ths FF today, and I really like it! It's great!
Perhaps you could tell me, when youput another chapter in??

thanks for emailing me when you updated!

but anyways, this was an awesome chapter! Please update soon!

^_^

hahaha!!! Kagome has finally gotten some sense and found sesshy to be the hot hunk of meat that he is lmao! loved this chapter, especially the hotspring scene, it was hilarious! hmm i think sessh is a little attracted to kags... hmm that connection they have, it would make for some interesting sex lmao! please update soon!

Poor Sesshomaru!! :) He can't even take a bath without running into Kagome!! However, he really should have been nicer!! Who could look at naked Sesshomaru and not get turned on?!! Thank you for the marvelous update!! I can't wait to find out what Kagome's dream is about!!

Yay!! Kagome won the battle against Inuyasha. I totally knew that was going to happen....but I'm glad that Sesshomaru witnessed it as well. It seems Kagome and Sesshomaru are being put in more interesting situations. First the whole loosing control thing and now the walking in on each other in the hot springs thingy. That was really funny...but I wonder what the next situation will be. I wonder what Kagome's dreaming about this time too. Maybe it has something to do with the mysterious sorceress. Update again soon!!

This was another good chapter. Thank you for answering my question about the brown substance. It looks like we will find out a little more about Kagome being related to a demon in the next chapter from her dream. At least that is what I hope for. I think that my patience is getting the better of me and I want to know more than I know now. Well I can't wait to read the next chapter.

UPDATE REAL SOON!!!

UPDATE REAL SOON!!!

Me Likey Cant Wait To See Wuts Goin To Happen Next And I Wonder About The Southern Lord His Intentions Dont Seem To Holy Ya Noe!

Yes, I will skin you alive if you don't. ;) You could always change the rating and set out warnings on the chapter... They have such electricity between them, that a full-blown lemon is a must!
Hmm, I wonder what Kagome is dreaming. Perhaps this time it's not about the well, but about Sesshoumaru. *grins*

EEE! I was close! XD He used the shards as bait so he didn't have to face the panther youkai? The coward. XD I can't wait to see Sesshomaru kick his butt!! ^_^

OOooh! It was getting pretty hot in there, huh Kagome? lol, naughty girl! Though....I shouldn't be saying anything....I'd do the same thing, only worse! :P

The fight scene was awesome! I thought it was awesome how you had them holding back without even realising it. And Inuyasha's reaction when Sesshomaru told him Kagome was holding back was hilarious! LMAO!

Oh! I loooved your spoiler fanarts! XD Awesome job on them, they looked great! ^_^
Y'know...If I ever get time enough...I'll draw a fanart for this story. Would you like that? I hope so. ^_^

Eh....this review wasn't as long as the last one...Oh well, you'll forgive me won't ya? ^_^

loved the new chapter, i also checked out your fanart about the story, cool, i hadnt seen them before update soon

He he. Kagome so PWNED Inuyasha! He he! Love the new chapter. Can't wait for the next chappie.

*stares at pawn again* Hmmm... evil little thing.

Anyhoo, not that much of an exciting chapter. Kinda dissapointed that you made Inuyasha and Kagome hold back in the fight. It was kinda boring in all honesty. o.o

AGAIN with the akward situations! Woohoo for hot springs xP, and bad bad bad Kagome. I, for one, would have less control from jumping his bones (as is the same for the rest of the female population that knows about Sesshoumaru). Then again, that whole 'preservation of life' instinct kinda kicks in.

As we all know, there -is- indeed a gaggle of girls waiting to mob him...although I think his reaction would be rather to melt them all instead of walking away...

As for my last review, that wasnt a threat...call it motivation x3. And I completely agree with the soft Sesshoumaru bit..no way in hell. Ugh, there is nothing I cant stand more than a soft Sesshoumaru, or even a slightly soft one in early chapter in a story saying 'I love you'. It's just not right. And as for those who are demanding lemons right now...forget them! A good story does not need hot wild animal sex between the chew toys of fate! (Said chew toys being Sesshoumaru and Kagome of course)

Takeo is going to get it >3 I knew he would. Bwahahahaha!...I just realized if you took out the e in Takeo, it would be Tako which is Japanese for octopus...huh.. (boredom strikes again)

I really enjoy this story, but if the plot doesnt thicken soon...I think I might go a bit insane. I mean, it is thickening, but not in a sense where it feels like this story is moving along at a steady rate. Your writing is beautiful; little to no mistakes, and is well descriptive. HOWEVER! The pace it's going at is fine for a while, but over time it's going to become dull. I'm not saying throw everything in right now and throw the whole story in to fast foreward. Merely..get the ball rolling so to speak, but...ugh this is hard to explain...try to make it seem like more of the plot is unfolding with out showing all the cards at once...or something like that. (If you already think that you're doing this, just letting you know from a different point of view that it kinda seems like it isn't)

Keep doing your best! And sorry if my rantings annoy you ^^;

Ja

luv the chapter!!!

I love your stories. Your plots are well thought out, the characters act as they should, and your wording and writing style is enchanting. I can't wait to see the next chapter.

However, I must admit to a certain envy of Kagome. If I had been in her position, I would most definitely have taken advantage of it. *smirks*

Good job and keep writing!

-Insane Slytherin

Me Likely! I Cant Wait To See Wuts Goin Ta Happen Next!

lol. i hope he gets a good beating.

LMAO imaganing inu's face when she said that I picture it being more scared then when she could sit him. Please post soon.

hi!
wow, i love the first part, and htis second part is coming along great! ^_^
I really enjoy this story, and if it isn't a bother or anything, could you please email me when you update?it'd be apprecialted. =D
but anyways, plesae update soon, i can't wait to see if kagome and inuyasha spar!!!!

That was....Hot there in the middle ya know? It was really hot one because I didn't see it coming and two the fact that Sesshoumaru was still thinking about it after Kagome had passed out from healing him. Is this the begining of Sesshoumaru's feelings? Whatever, keep up the good work and update soon.

hehe..she does need somethign else to subdue him with, ne? And whips sounds oh so naughty!

-Dani.

update soon plz.

I loved this chapter and I can't wait for the next one! The way Kagome had Inuyasha shaking in his boots towards the end of the chapter really wants me to find out what happens next. Keep it up and I can't wait for the update!

totally awesome!! thx 4 sending me notices about what ch.s r out. btw, srry about not sending a reveiw but i havent been able to get on the internet 4 a while. pls let me kno when the next ch comes out. also does sesshyfluff and kags actually get together? if so, when!? im tired of waiting *sobs hysterically* plz tell me! tellmetellmetellme!!!! if u dont ill...ill...*points katana at self* ill cut myself!! *you:cut? ull kill urself like that!* hehe! srry jus wanted a litle comic relief. anyways, plz let me kno soon!!!!!!!!!!

sighned, Yokai Priestess Riiko

lol i LOVED this chapter! it was great =) please update soon!

Yay! I guessed right! *dances* lol

Excellent chapter, as always. ^_^
I LOVED the part where Sesshomaru almost lost control. Loved it! The way you wrote it...was brillant. Tee-hee....I do feel kinda sorry for Sesshy though...he really hated felling out of control like that, didn't he? lol!
I loved how Kagome was able to stop it by huging him and pushing her power into him. That was soo sweet...in a weird way. ^_^
What was that brown stuff, if it wasn't poison? Are you allowed to tell us, or do you not even know? lol.
Oh! I caught that, you sneaky devel! So, the Southern Lord had owned the shards previously? Did he pass them on to the panther demons so that Sesshomaru wouldn't know he had them? Or did he give them to the panther demons because he didn't want to face Sesshomaru himself? XD

Tee-hee..the stare-down between Kagome and Sesshomaru was hilarious! Yay! Kagome won it, too! lol.
I wonder why Inuyasha let Moriko out in the first place? *shrug* Just curious. ^_^

The little scene in the end, with Kagome burning the leaves and twigs with her miko whips was pretty awesome! ^_^ I can't wait to see Kagome and Inuyasha fight, that sounds like it'll be a ton of fun to read!! *is excited*

Wow...that was a pretty long review....Oh well. ^_^
Oh yeah...Happy late Valentines Day! 3

oh! now i cant wait for the next chapter, that one's gonna be interesting, loved this chapter by the way.

HAH! That'll get him every time, the immature pup. I'm glad to see Kagome's maturing process, even if she needs to get a clue that when someone says 'go away', she better MOVE the twit!

Great, terrific chapter!!! I just loved this one....The loss of control was handled just perfectly...not too overdone and you just nailed his reaction! It would fit with his character to be so discomfitted but to sink into his usual stoic silence... Really, this chapter was such a treat...and a lovely beginning to a little change in their relationship. Oh and I cannot wait for the next chapter, I hope she beats Inuhasha's butt!!! Hurry up and update soon!!!

LMAO!!! I can't wait to see the InuYasha/Kagome showdown!!

*drools onto her keyboard* i'd be damned to the seventh layer of hell before i fixed sesshoumaru's problem if he held me down like that, lmao! i loved this chapter! it is one of my favourites so far lol.. hmm i wonder why lol. :) ahem..anyways lol, this one was longer..yay! than the last one and in my opinion not as choppy.. awesome job! loved it! haha hmmm i think inuyasha is scared,,,,, dun dun dun dun... haha.. i think inuyasha is a tad bit jealous? don't you? :) hmm but the look on his face would have been priceless! oh.. and i bet kagome squeeled for winning the staring contest lol :)

i'm lovin' this whole story, parts 1 & 2. it's really really realllly good.

UPDATE!! I have been reading this story for two days now and i was bummed when there weren't anymore chapters for me to read. Yeah so...UPDATE!!! Ja ne

Wow! I really liked this chapter...I think I end up saying that a lot considering all of your updates are wonderful. Anyway, I totally didn't guess what you were going to do with Sesshomaru being bitten. I knew it would be something bad, but not about losing control. That was a very good idea....I think Kagome enjoyed Sesshomaru losing it atleast a little bit as well. *giggle* I wonder if Inuyasha is really going to spar against Kagome too. She should really teach him a lesson on how much she has grown with her powers. It would be really funny to see Inuyasha lose. I bet Sesshomaru would be impressed as well if she did. Update again soon :]

I have this feeling, that if you don't update soon, i may have to resort to memorizing the rest of this story and dreaming it.

and that's a threat.

I love the idea of Kags kicking Inu's butt it provides a great twist to the story. Also, now that Sesshys feelings seem so close to the surface it will be interesting to see how his internal struggle develop as he realizes he feels more then lust for the fair Kagome.

ahaha, i can totally tell that i am going to love this next chapter! try and put a lot of smart-alecky insults about inuyasha (courtesy of kagome, of course) in there, would you?

o-o OOH subjacation with her new skills! Cant wait for next chapter where Inuyasha probably get beaten into the ground *snickers* GOD I LOVE YOUR WRITING!

As always another good chapter. I wished you could have let us in on what that brown substance was that the panther demon put in Sess. I was glad to get a taste of what is to come with our favorite couple. It will be very interesting to see how Inuyasha and Kagome's fight ends up. I can't hardly wait to read the next chapter.

Oh no, I really hope that Kagome doesn't lose her challenge to Inuyasha!! She is no match for Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha is almost as strong!! Thank you so much for the marvelous update!! I am really enjoying this story!! Can't wait for your next update!!

This was great. I can't wait for the next chappie. Great work on the sudden passion Sessho was not used to. Bet he's gonna beat himself up about it for a while. Maybe he'll even beat up Inuyasha when he spots he and Kagome sparing. ^_^ Oh the fun! Keep going please!!!!!

luved the chapter. kags fighting what could be better

*grins* With that teaser, I'd have to skin you alive if you don't deliver a full lemon later in this fic. ;)
Anyway, loved it. Great as usual. Can't wait to see Kagome kick Inuyasha's butt. Because I have no doubt that she will be the winner. She knows his moves, while he hasn't seen all hers.
I love it that you update so frequently. You never leave your readers hanging for longer than a few days. Keep up the good and hard work! :D *waits eagerly for the next chapter*

Hahahahah, inuyasha's gonna get it!! Later!

*stares down at the relationship pawn as it moves a nanometer*

Hardly moved, if not at all. I don't consider that outside source that forced Sesshoumaru into that *ahem* akward situation a movement in the pawnn at all. Just a rather disturbing experience.

HOWEVER! The fact that he is more willing to agree with Kagome is just proving that she is slowly getting him wraped around her little finger much like Rin has.

Please please please please put in a little mock duel between Inuyasha and Kagome. I would love to see her kick his ass in a New York minute. Muahahahhaha >3

I really am wondering what the hell was...is going though that damn Bear's mind. Manupliating Sesshoumaru to do someones' dirty work will end in lots of pain or death with the afore mentioned pain before hand.

Ya know, when I say this I mean no disrespect, but why is it in almost every frikin SessKag story I've read the infamous 'Father's grave' scene is imployed in the writing? I know it's when the two first meet...but it gets rather annoying after the fifty millionth time of seeing the reference. In this case though, it's just a memory of being melted...still... it's going to drive me insane one of these days.

I love this pairing with a passion, so much I've stopped watching the shows because it will never go in the direction all SessKag fans want it to go in. C'est la vie, c'est dommage. Fortunaitly there are good stories like this with the pairing and it makes the world that much better.(Although there are some bad ones out there that are just a kiljoy)

Another wonderful chapter, and kudos on the popularity of the series (dunno how many more Simple Legacys you're going to make...so could be a triliogy..)

Keep working on this story, because if you let it die, I'd have to hunt you down. >3

He he he.... and many evil kackles later.... I really liked this chapter. Things are moving quiet smoothly between Sesshoumaru and Kagome. And with InuYasha's stupidity at the end of the chapter, I admit that i laughed so hard I was crying. ^_^ I really liked it! Can't wait till you update again!

I've been following both stories closely, waiting eagerly for the next update. I enjoy the slow blossoming of emotions from both main characters. More realistic, considering their relationship. Keep up the good work and I look forward to see how they play out. Sometimes love is ignored until you can't deny it any longer.

I cannot believe I did not review yet!! Bad reader! This was great...I love that Kagome stood up for herself...worry for her reputation, that was great, because if you think about it..it is Feudal Japan, what must people think? And Sess may be an icicle but he is a respectful one! And I would love to hear exactly what Sess and Takeo spoke about once she went to sleep...I bet that was an interesting conversation! Great chapter...and I truly appreciate the time you are taking to develop the relationship between the two of them... Great chapter!!!

cool chapter, i wonder if the southern lord will appear again and if so is he planning anything... and that memory kags had...interesting!

Thank you for the update!! I love Sesshomaru and Kagome traveling alone together!! I think the Southern Lord's comments were cute about her traveling with a single man!! Sesshomaru must have been peeved!! Kagome's dream, however, was so sad!! Please update again soon!!

Alright, Sessy and Kag can finally get in some more bonding time!! Hehehe, I bet Sessy was glad to get away from the Southern lord hehehe! Thanks so much for updating!!!

ooo the peices fall in place lol! hmm i liked this chapter, but it just seemed a little cut short? i guess because more info was in this one? anyway.. i enjoyed it! please update soon... and maybe with a little longer chapter? lol j/k you are the author and we the chapters are at your discretion.. haha *offers cookies* but does the author take bribes by any chance? lol

hey, great chapter! i see the story of the jewel is finally piecing together XD great job, please update soon!

luv the chapter. well I luv the whole story!!

I enjoyed reading this chapter. It does give some insite on how she got her youkai and I see other things are slowly revealing itself. But you know you are wrong for having us to refer back to chapter 1 of the first story for a hint to what is in the cave! ") You are sooooooooo cold! You know we are going to go back and read chapter 1 in the first story to get a clue.

Thanks for updating once again. I liked the part when Sesshomaru was really conserned for Kagome when she was dreaming. He seemed very worried and wanted her to wake up right away. Awww...so cute. Anyway, I like how the southern lord was a bear youkai. He seemed very big and fluffy. I would have laughed out loud if he gave Sesshomaru a huge hug when they first arrived at his castle. I could just picture the look on Kagome's face if that was to have happened. That was really sad about the sorceress's baby and how she died by her daddy. I felt so sorry for her. Update again soon!!

Ooh, could it be Kouga's shard she's found? Hmm, or maybe not. But I sense something big coming up, since you left a cliffy. Could it perhaps be a fight where Kagome needs to participate? So hurry up and update! I wanna know what happens next! :D

Great story.
One minor irritation though: there is no plural tense in Japanese, ans such it seems wrong when I read words like "youkais." Perhaps it's better to think of it as the plural being the same as the singular.
Cheers.

Aww, man, I can't remember what happened in Chapter 1 part 1.....*goes back to reread it*

Oh! I remember! Mrs. Higurashi is giving birth to Kagome and she hears a voice in her head....it was that woman Kagome saw in her dream, wasn't it?? Sneaky, veeery sneaky elle! XD
I wonder....if that woman was so upset that her daughter had been killed because the Shikon no Tama was inside her (that was veeery sad, btw)..then why did she put it in Kagome, when the same thing could've happened to her? Did she do it because she didn't sense any youkai in Kagome's era? Because she figured Kagome would stay there, and be safe from power-hungary demons?

Tee-hee...I was just waiting for the Southern Lord to sweep Sesshomaru up into a big bear hug! lol! I really liked Kagome's response when he questioned her following Sesshomaru unchaperoned, though. ^_^ But what I don't understand, was why he insisted they stay at his palace...it sounded like he was planning something, but he didn't do anything. hmm.

I am soo glad that you update as fast as you do...alot of writers I know wait months inbetween updates. *sigh* Thanks for updating! *hug*

Ahh, another chapter to this rather intresting and wonderful story. It's good that you are one of those authors who slowly paint a picture rather than throwing a whole bucket of paint onto the canvas.

I am pleased to say I will be going back to school tomorrow since Im all better now. I also hope that your health stays in good condition. Tis no fun to be sick and out of school for two weeks. >

As for the hint in Chapter 1 part 1....uh... ^^;; hehe, It's been so long and as it were so many plots I've read have been mixing in my mind... and I vaugely remember Part 1. Mayhaps I should go back and read it...meh

The Southern Lord...oh my. I was just waiting for him to create a -very- akward moment with Sesshoumaru. Like sweep him up into a bear hug. He just seems like that kind of cheerful person...but I cant help but get the vibe of a possible Kouga-like personality underneath all the formalities.

Oh, before I forget, I was wondering if you keep up with the anime at least. Since they show the last shards location in the Inu-no-Tashio's grave... just wondering if you were going to do that or if you were going to stray from the canon bit (as InuyashaxKagome fans scream the SessxKag is a crack pairing and as far from canon as it gets....*flips em the bird*)

And that damn pawn still isnt moving yet xD. Next chapter, I know, but it's worth the wait for the build up of the plot and character development.

Never give up! Wewt!
Stay in good health as well

Ja

Nice, very nice. Can't wait for the next chapter for long. Later!!

oh how i love it! it makes me so happy! this is very good but i think that we need just a dash of Sesshy and Kag fluff thrown in. not a lot just a bit to cach them in a fun sceen. and i hope you put some fun Inu and Moriko in there. oh what happened to koga and aiyme (is that how you spell her name?)
any way love and can't wait for more!
Leira ^.~

He he. I love it when people annoy Sesshomaru! Can't wait for the next chapter.

Lol I would have kept talking just because he didnt want me to. Great chapter I cant wait till Sesshomaru and Kagome get together and um why do they feel eachother emotions and feelings?

~Katie

*giggles* I must say their in flight conversation was quite entertaining! Hehehe...
OMG -Inuyasha- is gonna interrogate Moriko?! That could definately be interesting!

ah.. the plot thickens! lol, anyways... more sessh and kagome scenes will be a definate bonus! i am definately looking forward to that!! haha inuyasha is going to interrogate the witness... i bet she knows some things about him... him being pinned to a TREE for fifty years and all lmao!.. but, hmm maybe they hit it off? hint hint lol. i wonder how exactly they are going to get her to put that necklace back on! i doubt she wants to be naraku's prisoner/slave/spy again! haha, when the scene of sesshoumaru and inuyasha in the courtyard came up, i got the distinct image of inuyasha remaining in that exact spot in the tree until kagome came back (him smelly and all from not moving!! lmao!) but hmmm maybe thats due to sleep deprivation? ..see im rambling i need to go to bed lol. anyway! please update soon! can't wait to read the next chapter!!!!!

Thank you for updating so quickly. As usual, your story is wonderfully written.

Hmm...I see possibly affection growing between Sess & Kag, but do I see the possibility of love or affection that may grow between Inuyasha and Moriko when they start spending time together while Sess and Kags are on their journey? :)

Great job...looking forward to more updates. :)

I am enjoying the depth of the characters as your story progresses. I wonder if Inuyasha will be attracted to Moriko? Great illustration on your web site BTW. I was thinking that he was pinned to that tree to 50 years and the tree is a part of nature, etc., etc. Just a thought. Shippou seems perfectly happy to be around Sesshoumaru. Sorry I took so long to review, but I was behind on my reading. Jean aka Maddie50

It was another good chapter. It seems it is kinda of building up to when they both start building deeper feelings for each other as well as bringing out their enemy. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Yay another chapter! I really like where this is going so kee up the good work and update soon!

omg i love your writing... plz continue on!!!

omg i love your writing... plz continue on!!!

awesome chapter, the ending is like when the adventure begins lol, another adventure with seshoumaru, cool hope u can update soon, and once again this story is great

Yay!! Sesshomaru and Kagome are starting on thier journey! Thats pretty cool about Moriko's powers, how she can speak to the wildlife and stuff. I wonder if that mysterious sorceress has anything to do with Kagome's new powers too. Hmmm...update soon and keep up the great work!!

I'm glad that Sesshomaru and Kagome are getting along!! Hopefully that will continue, unless Kagome decides to tease him too much!! Thanks for the new chapter!! Can't wait for more!!

hey, great chapter! i'm glad inuyasha finally got it through his thick skull =D please update soon!

I really liked this chapter! I'm glad that Inuyasha finally allowed Kagome to fufil her debt...^_^ Tee-hee...Kagome teasing Sesshomaru in the end was hilarious! I loved it! 3
Ooh...I wonder how Inuyasha is going to handle interrogating Moriko?? That sounds like it'll be fun to read!! Is..Inuyasha going to get...involved with Moriko? Hmm.

I love seeing your email in my inbox...it makes my day when I see that you've updated. This is one of my fav stories right now. ^_^ Update soon!

Another great chapter. :D I look forward to next chapter, since I bet there will be lots of Sesshoumaru-teasing! ;)
And I think I know why the forest youkai recognises Inuyasha, I bet she's been talking with Goshinboku. :)

Okay, first off, my cold developed to pneumonia, and I am almost better. Just some really bad coughing left.

Second off: NOOOOOOOOOOO! That is not what I ment by 'You spell honor like a Brit'! It was ment as a joke from a flash movie I was hoping that you had previously seen to understand the joke. UK spellings and US spelling differences don't bother me a bit. I just read over them like normal...dang it, I had a feeling this would happen after I saw you change 'A Simple Legacy' due to the note in the summary. Yeah, the whole joke comes from a little flash tidbit called 'Tiny Plaid Ninjas' It has to be the funniest thing ever

It's at this site:
www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/plaid

Just pay attention to the spellings when they talk about their honor. (Oh well on the change, I suppose there are people out there that don't like UK spellings)

Anyway, On to the story!
Another chapter that seems like filler... oh joy. But, it had some important bits like Inuyasha figuring out the plot, and getting teh feck off of Kagome's back about the whole Sesshoumaru deal bit.

*attempts to move the little pawn on the board labled 'Relationship'* Nope, not moving anywhere yet. Which is good! Need more development, and traveling in Feudal Japan always makes people fall in love...pfft...yeah right. It will probably be a life or death situation before Sesshoumaru admits to something like that in the far far future.

Dust cloud? Coulda sworn it was a cloud made of his youki...meh. Could be wrong, but a dust cloud...how would he keep his billowly white hakamas all pristine if it was dust? Unimportant, but it's boggling my mind. xP

Keep on doing such a wonderful job, and keep on writing without killing yourself!

Ja!

Nice update and wow so fast too! Awesome! Hmmm...Inuyasha is going to be forced to interact more with our little forest youki huh? Nice move there!! I cannot wait to see what and how things develope with those two! And hooray for more chapters with Sess and Kags! I am so looking forward to reading how you progress their relationship....so far it has been slow but sweet and so very worthwhile! Another great chapter!!!!

update update update.....

yay... another great chap....

yay.... sequel... can i call it that.... happy happy...

OMG!!! What I wouldn't give to know what Inu was think when Kagome told him she had to go with Sessy!!! LOL He's already freakin out about the "her room" thing...hehehe...

Thankies x 1,000,000,000!!!!

Wondeful! Please.....I need a new chapter! I'll die without it!

Wondeful! Please.....I need a new chapter! I'll die without it!

So, the cat's out of the bag? I wonder how Inuyasha will react given time to say more than "What"

bahahaha!!! i bet inuyasha things they're gonna scrog! ..ahem.. anyways.. yeah this chapter cleared up alot!! please update soon! i cant wait to see what happens next!!!!!

Chapter 6 helpped a lot. I think may have been found!

I really enjoyed your new update!! Maybe Sesshomaru's prisioner can become Inuyasha's girlfriend? He certainly seems interested in her!! Please update again soon!! I can't wait to see how Sesshomaru and Kagome convince Inuyasha to let Kagome stay!!

Ooh!!! That was awesome!!!
I really enjoyed reading the arguments between Sesshomaru and Kagome. They were fun to read! lol
Hmm..so Sesshomaru didn't like it when he felt Kagome was dissapointed with him? And then he felt almost guilty when Kagome finally told him how she felt about him tricking her? Ooh, I think he's starting to change...^^
I really liked the scene when Kagome talked with Moriko...that was sweet. ^_^

Excellent chapter! I can't wait for the next one! *w00t*

pmg, this was one of the best chapters, i loved it, and the ending... i cant wait for the update , story's going great!

Argh! Not long enough chapter! Me wants moooore! :D I've got a feeling Inuyasha won't be taking it lightly that he'll have to leave Kagome alone with Sesshoumaru again. This story has potential to be really long, and I hope it will be. :D

awesome awesome keep it up yay!!!

Chel

Yet another great chapter from one of my favorite authors. I find Inuyashas reaction to the wood youkai interesting. Will there be a future romance between these two eventhough it seemed Inuyasha was set on Kagome???? The portrayal of her character is very likeable so I wouldn't be surprised it that is one of the twists in your wonderful story. I can't wait for your next update. I love the fact that you hinted at Kags growing power being equal to Sesshy's because eventhough he has her at a disadvantage because of her debt this seems to level the playing field.

YAY! *claps* another chappie! *does the happy dance* >> MORE! lolz, anywayz i love ur fic. your really good, lol i can't write a story at all @.@ . i wish i had a quarter of your talent lol anywayz, keep going your really good..... DUN DUN DUN WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT??? ....... BYE 3... ur awsome.... i'm hyper

I wonder how Moriko is involved with Naraku. She doesn't sound bad so far, but then again you can't always trust what you see. I can't believe that Kagome was able to talk to Sesshomaru like that. I think she brought some things to his attention though don't you think. Oh, I found it funny when Shippo said that he didn't tell Inuyasha that Sesshy took Kagome too. I could just picture Inu runing around sniffing the ground looking for her. lol. Keep up the great work and update soon :D

as i read that chapter i could just see inuyasha stating something about how he knew that kags and sess had something going on and going into miroku mode.

Very good. THis story get better and better each time i read it! I love it that you made Sesshomaru feel what Kagome feels. He's not used to emotions period and the fact that an emotional girl like Kagome is disturbing his peace of mind. I love it. I love it. I LOVE IT!! (evil laughter) *achem* Uh... can't wait for the next chapter!

i dont want her to be evil the lil youkai i hope shes not update soon

Nice, another chappy up. Sorry to say though that my health is nowhere near better...damn pneumonia. Forgot to mention this last chapter, but I am glad that you did have Kagura die, and from this chapter it looks like Kanna is dead as well. True to the manga all the way! What is it and all of Naraku's detachments dying all the time anyhoo? Must be a curse or something >>;

Indeed, this chapter, personally, I just wanted to slap Kagome. Don't take this wrong, it's in her character to be the peacemonger...but some times it gets on my nerves. Espically when all sense and reason fly out of her so she doesn't recall her deal...and it was such a hassle to get her to go along in the first place... seriously... I just want to smack her. High and mighty peacemonger...but a total martyr when it comes down to some situations.

Oh well, aside from my useless rantings, honestly, this chapter felt like a filler. Meh, but it was still good.

One more thing:
YOU SPELL HONOR LIKE A BRIT!! (If you dont get that, let me know and I'll tell ya in my next review, but if you do, HAHA!)

Ja!

PS. Seriously...think of using the Mokomoko-sama on her in the future when she gets in the way...use the end to gag her ever loving peace mouth shut. Then Sesshoumaru can have his way with her when he's done. Bwahahaha >3

I enjoyed reading this chapter but I still feel that you are keeping us in the dark on some things. I know in time it will be revealed but I guess I am not a patient person! ")

luved the chapter:)

I like it! I like the turn the story has taken. I still can't guess what's gonna happen, and I like that.
I can't wait to see what will happen next! :D *waits eagerly*

great chapter, different from what i''ve seen so far,but very cool :) update soon

First off, thank you for your email...I felt so special *grinning like a Cheshire cat*.

Ah, I see what you meant about Kagura. This reviewer is happy that she has been enlightened :)

I believe that Kagura was working with Sess on his plan to destroy Naraku and somehow Naraku must have found out about her betrayal and killed her for it. Poor Kagura :(

Also, I think I see where this story plot is headed, but alas, you are full of surprises and it would be very presumptious of me to assume anything *LOL*

This is an excellent chapter. Wow, you are such a good writer. I wish that I had your abilities to write stories like this and it makes this reviewer so envious. Seriously, you are doing an outstanding job and will be looking forward to more updates soon. Your fanart was very nice. Especially the one of Moriko...as I was reading, I had a visual reference to go along with that part of the story. Sess is going to bring her over to his side and get her to help him destroy Naraku, is he not?

This is a Sess/Kags pairing...not a Sess/Moriko pairing to the reviewer that thinks that be just wants her for his 'girlfriend'. I would be totally devastated if Sess & Kags do not go 'flying off into the sunset' with love in their eyes at the end of this story :(

*scratches head* i don't get it. why is he trapping and kidnapping an imprisoned youkai like kagura? is she going to be his new informant? im all confused.... please update soon ... don't leave me confused for too long, lol !

Well...that was a completely unexpected turn of events for me. I love the way Kags character is developing emotionally. She is learning to be weary of inu youkais. Will she consider Sesshys tricky wording a breach of their trust? I can't wait to see what is next.

awesome! I can't wait ti;ll you update! the story is simply fanastic

tricky sess. luv the chapter!!!

I wonder what Sess wants with that new detachment...
And just what has Kagome gotten herself into?
I can't wait to find out! Thanks for updating!

Great update. Uh oh...he took kagome without her getting the chance to speak to Inuyasha? That is potentially dangerous! I am still confused as to the nature of his request of Kags...hmmm...I cannot wait to see how this unfolds! As usual I am throughly enjoying the story and I love the time you take to develop their relationship. But she is breaking though his barrier one icicle at a time! Keep it up...I cannot wait for your next chapter!!!

I very much so enjoyed the chapter thank you!!! And now my question from last time has been answered. I like this story plot. And the relationship thats developing is slow and tedious just like it should be. you are doing a completely wonderful job.*winks* We all know what kagome was thinking when his lips touched her ear lobe..haha

ahh reading a good story always brings up the mood; well I really CANT wait for the next chapter because I absolutely think this is the best sess/kag fanfiction Ive ever read.

AWww that was really good! I hope they dont hurt that youkai though..

Hey, good job. Now I was in the hospital for mental instability because of a recent loss and slm mean sasumi lynne mcmurtry my made up name. =)

I want to hit something. Kagome's being thick and slow, Sess is being obstinate and vague, and she doesn't even have her backpack! I hope she finds a way to get back at him for him preemptive behavior. When he whispered in her ear I suddenly wanted her to whack him with her head. Or refuse to let him touch her. *sigh*

This was a great chapter. Thanks for uploading it. I loved how Sesshomaru and Kagome worked together to trap Moriko. The entire story is very well written. I wonder why she was with Naraku. Hmm...update soon so everyone can find out!! Thanks!!

Wow. I am sinply amazed. I finished the last chapter to part one THEN I had got to read SIX more chapters for part TWO!!!

Me so happy.

Anyhoo please update soon, this is great. Will Sesshoumaru become jealous of Kouga's claiming of her when they come back? Will they have to share a bed and sleep together so that she can keep warm? Will she use his fluffy tail?

-Dani.

It is great to see slowly what Sess is up to but I still feel like we are still left in the dark. It seems you give us a little but we are still a clueless and are left wanting more information than we first started. I can't wait to see how everthing plays out. This should be very interesting.

I am lost... hopefully I will be found in the next few chapters

awesome im confused but awesome update soon

Oh man that rocked!!! Can't wait for the next chapter.

NICE FIGHT!!!! And what a jerk Sesshomaru is, using Kagome like that. I hate it when men use women! I just hope he ends up realising Kagome is important to him. And I also hope Kagome grows up and doesn't get cheated on so easily.

I'm so sad, Sesshomaru used Kagome to catch himself a girlfriend? So sad, I really like Sesshomaru and Kagome together!! Great update!! I'm really enjoying this story!!

I'm soo sorry for not leaving a review to this sooner! Please forgive me ^^

This chapter was excellent! I loved the fight scene, it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!
That girl, Moriko, she didn't seem like she was evil at all after she tried to erect a barrier around herself...is she really Naraku's spawn? She didn't act like it after Sesshomaru took the pendant..was her previous behaviour because of that pendant thing? I wonder what Sesshomaru wants with it...and what does it have to do with the Jewel Shards? Why does Sesshomaru need them for his plan to work?
Ahh, so many questions to be answered...I can't wait for your next update! I always look forward to seeing your email in my inbox..update soon! Hope you have a good week! ^_^

Wewt, another chapter. Nothing makes a sick day better than one of my favorite fictions. Hehe, Sesshoumaru would of forced her to come anyway even if she said no? I can immagine...Mokomoko-sama tied around her ankles being dragged away kicking and screaming. Bwahahaha! As for that forest child...She is a prisioner...but for what purpose will she serve under the all mighty 'Sesshoumaru-sama' *coughs*Frosted flakes*cough* Oh, and I don't know if anyone has told you yet, but the Geosites thinger wont load...it said you exceeded your transfer limmit or something rather... Anyhoo, another good chapter. Don't kill yourself on them though, but keep on truckin'!

Oh, did I enjoy this chapter!!
Well.. maaaybe not the ending. But that's because I never like the endings- they're usually cliffhangers!! But the way things are lining up for some new excitement right now is totally cool. Ending-hater or not, this chapter has whetted my appetite for more "A Simple Legacy Ⅱ."

wow I didn't think sesshoumaru would need that from Kagome I just figured it would have been something more...I don't know unexpected. Good going I love your story lol

Part one flowed very nicely into part two. I think what Kagome's mother heard in her head during the birthing of her daughter was something of a spell placed on Kagome that was going to take effect on her 18th birthday and that's why she was acting strangely with Sess in part one of 'ASL' and I think that's why there is a link between Kags /Sess. Preordained from the beginning of her birth to whatever will happen in the next chapters ahead. Why did Sess mention that Kagura's death by Naraku was in a long list of things that he had to pay for? Was there a connection between Sees and Kagura at one time? Could that strange youki that has taken hold of Kagome be from Kagura...maybe? Or am I just rambling a bunch of nonsense? Oh well, it's a great story and please update soon. :)

Awww please update! the fanfiction chapter 5 isnt working :(

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!! Great going on the story. It was really good. Sorry for not saying more encouraging words for like the last 3 chappies BUT i've been in the hospital. So send me an update when the next chappie is out. BYEBYE THX

Hmm...so Kagome isn't a youkai, I wonder what she is then. Maybe she just has very extrordinary powers or something...I guess I'll find out later. Sesshomaru's request is a big one. I didn't even think of him asking that of her. I would totally travel with Sesshomaru if I had the choice between him and Inuyasha....so Kagome should say yes to his request too. I wonder what Inuyasha and the gang will say...hopefully she'll be able to take Shippo with her too if she decides to travel with Fluffy. Keep up the great work!!

Hmm. Whenever I think of the Shikon in asssociation with Sesshoumaru I think either he doesn't need the stupid trinket... or for Rin. What are you up to, I wonder? ^_!~

oooo... suspenseful!!! not that bad of a cliffy this time! yay!!! haha my laptop is spared, lol! hmm i know i would definately choose sessh, the heck with inuyasha! lmao.. hmm but what about poor shippou? will she get to bring him along? hmmm, i bet inuyasha's going to blow a gasket! please update soon!!!!!!

I love the way you are keeping all the people "in character". I think chapter 4 was the best yet! Great build up to the end of the chapter, I'll be looking forward to reading the next one.

Wow!! Two updates so quick!! You better watch spoiling me this way, I might begin to expect it!! :) Seriously though, I love Sesshomaru's request!! Maybe if he would be willing to explain to her why it's so important she would be more willing to accept her dept!! Not that he cares about her thoughts, he hates them!! Thank you so much for your update!! Can't wait for more!!

What a delima for Kagome.

omg! finally the debt, cool i cant wait for the next chapter, I hope she goes with Sesshoumaru, that was a great chapter!

Oh yeah, I would follow Sesshy, and the minute the deed was done I would jump his bones and....and.....and.....oh sorry ....very good chapter....very, very good.....

Another good chapter but you set Kagome up for failure. Damn if she do, Damn if she don't! That's cold! Maybe he is just setting her up for what he really wants out of her.") I can't wait to find out.

luv it. wow poor Kags she just cant win.

Wewt, another chappy! Alright, first off I'd like to say that Kagome....*goes on an hour long rant about the whole blue eyes in the manga and brown eyes in the anime spiel* And further more, Kagome being stuck between a rock and a hard place...hm I can immagine the rock...maybe the hard place is Sesshoumaru's sweet... *is suddenly muffled*

Hehe ^^;; Anyway, good chapter, and I feel like I hit the nail with my last guess...maybe not a soul exchange though...more like an aura exchange...melding powers perhaps?

Thanks for responding to all my silly little reviews. It's good when authors do that and not tack it into their stories. It shows that an author(ess) cares about their readers when they answer reviews. xP

KEEP ON TRUCKIN!
(heck yes!)

Very nice. Hummmm. This whole thiing abour her having a demon presense bonded to her is cool. Man you really got the essence of these characters down flat! I could so see this happening in the series. Keep going.

Wonderfully written (as usual =P)

Okay I have to confess... I've been reading this story for a long time, but it is only now that I got off my lazy arse to review it. xD

Sesshoumaru's request seems remarkably simple (maybe even too simple? There must be some hidden agenda here somewhere). I was almost sure that he was the one behind Kagome's strange youki and that he would ask her to be his mate or something. I guess I was wrong. But one thing that I'm pretty sure that I won't be wrong is the Ayame/Inuyasha pairing. I was already sure of it in the second chapter. They seem to be spending a lot of time together ; ) Now the only question is, who's Kouga going to be with?

Keep up the great work and update soon!

Yet another great chapter to an awesome story. I wonder what Kags will do in the midst of her predicament. Will she offer him another deal to get him to agree with her? Can't wait for your next update.

very good chapter. please update soon, i really wanna know what kagome will chose and if there will be anything else between them.

Hunting for the shards? I was thinking something more kinky.

Oh what is she going to do? How can fluffy just ask her to break a promise to another just so she can honor a deal made with him. He is so unreasonable but.. we love em. Well any way update soon.

Katie

It was awsome. I liked it a lot. It was very good. ^-^

This turn "A Simple Legacy" is taking is becoming quite the intrigue.. i love it!!

Ooh! that was really good! cant wait to fnd out what sesshomaru wants her to do and whats happening to her. Please update soon!

I love the fic keep up the great work. Also please make more chapters. Thanks .N.

hey, great story so far! i love how you take it slow with sesshoumaru and kagome's relationship, it's great! please update soon!

More, write more and fast

wow... hmm... is she turning demon? i wonder how thats possible? haha inuyasha is pissed!!! lol why is he so mad??? ....this wasn't such a bad cliffie lol, however, still a cliffhanger! :) ah its good for suspense tho! keep it up cant wait to get that next email telling me there's a new chapter!!!

I don't know what's up with Kagome nor do I know what is going on with the emotions but I know the two things are conected you've made that much clear.
I only have dail-up so I can't say much about you losing the faster conection.

HAH! What's the matter, can't take the idea that you can't pat yourself on the back for always saving her 'Yasha? Nice, though if I don't find out what he want from her soon I am going to bite something(one)! As for her turning youkai...what's wrong with that? *grin* *skipping*

Just a thuoght that couln't leave me...Kagome mentioned that it was long time ago since she last has seen Kikyo and Shippo is angry at INuyasha for hurting somebody...could it be.....that Inuyasha actually had hurt her?

XD !!!! this is FUN!

okay...one thing i REALLY like about your story is that you don't have 5 long paragraphs describing how each seperate individual person feels at breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and tea time on sunday). do you get what i'm saying? now, the "emotional monologue" has it's own purposes, and sometimes they're entertaining if the character is miroku and perverted/crazy, but most times they are LONG, BORING, AND OVER-USED. thank you for not rushing the relationships, but still keeping the story moving with a purpose.

O_O i LOVE how you're having kagome imitate the whip move. i've NEVER seen that done before; nice touch.
there are two things foreshadowed with kouga...he had a thoughtful moment when kag mentioned the ayame/inu itemhood prospect--could this be jealousy?! AND, he could have been hiding the jealousy by (once again) trying to woo kagome. or he just doesn't give a rats ass about ayame and never will. who knows?

you do, of course, O-mighty author.

and on a last note, i'm curious as to how kagome will react about maybe becoming a youkai (IF that's where you're heading and you're not TRICKING US!!!) she seems WAY against it right now; i wonder if she'll be super against it later, or if she'll take it in stride. and will her youkai companions be insulted if she is totally against it?

: D

i wrote a lot cuz i'm supposed to be working right now!

gotta go!
pray to the Webmaster Spirit to give you back your uber fast internet!

Wow...that was exceptional. Just what is Kags turning into??? I hate cliffes but I love your story. Please update as soon as you can. I am completely enthralled.

Go Kagome!! I'm so glad that her friends now know her secret!! I'm curious though about what Shippo knows!! What did Inuyasha do to make him mad? I also can't wait to find out what Sesshomaru is going to ask of Kagome!! Thanks for the wonderful update!! I can't wait for more!! Sorry about your internet troubles :(

Hehe, I loved the fight-scene! Beautifully done! Now I'm left wondering what the significance of Kagome's 18th birthday may be...You already left some hints in the very first chapter (Simple Legacy I). Hmm, and the bond between her and "our lovely Lord"?? AND AYAME?? My God, that was sweet!! Tihi!! But I still want to know what it is Sesshoumaru wants from Kagome!! I DON'T want to wait! Sigh..please, hurry up and update!!!

Nope I'm never going to stop reading your work. hehehe. can't wait for more. If you can give me a heads up when you post ThAnKs.

Lots of black moon inu love for you.

I really enjoyed this chapter...it further enforces the bond between K & S...but I don't know about the youki affect on her. I am always a little wary of a demonic Kags..but with your writing so far I do not think I have anything to worry about...you will make it work no matter what you decide to do with this story!!! I can't wait till the next chapter...

I have decided, that I will never stop reading your works. Your style of writing keeps me reading! *latches her self to the story*. Meh, methinks something may have happened to Kagome on her 18th b-day as well. Almost like...it wasnt something only connecting Sesshoumaru to Kagome...more like...exchanging a part of themselves. It would explain why Kagome has youki, and why she can sense Sesshoumaru's 'non-existant' emotions. Like parts of their souls got switched...but only like a fragment or so. Meh, makes sense to me. Mayhaps the reason her youki turned darker was because Sesshoumaru...was pissed off? Or fighting a tough battle..hm... Oh well, probaly wrong, fun to guess though. Keep on writing, and take you time so you can enjoy what you write!

That chapter was awesome!!! I can't wait for Kagome to show her true potential! Is Kagom turning into a youkai? Does her family have a secret that not even Kagome knows, and the effect is that she will be a youkai????

Very good. I love it. I hope to see the next chaper soon. Sorry about your internet. Man it would be cool if Kagome just smacked Inuyasha for being a jerk. (evil laugh)

I love this chapter. Kagome's got some skills on her! Good job on the training and fighting scenes. Keep it going and I can't wait for the next chapter.

wow, im loving this story keep up the good work.

Loved the chapter, but hate to be kept left out to dry until the next chapter! ") Until next chapter.

NO! you ended it without me knowing what happened, aww well. Part two is very good so far and I really hope you update soon!

Another good chapter. And a cliffy. A really like the story. I keep wondering what the debt will be and I cannot figure it out, yet.

As usual, you're turning out some amazing work! I'm so anxious for the next chapter. Sesshoumaru should have information regarding Ryukosen next chapter right? And I'd like to know what that youki is about. Care to divulge a little tid bit *wink wink nudge nudge* XD

Ok i love this story and I hope that you don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I love tha anticipation.

Hey, love the sequel. Don't worry, I live in dial-up land and still live (even if its complete hell), so don't panic and get something to pass the time.

~zen

Wow!! Kagome might be turning into a youkai!! That is so cool...well...I think so. Anyway, update soon so we can all find out if Kagome is changing into a very powerful youkai. Heeheheh....I can't wait!!

a youkai? hmm pretty cliche but im lovin it anyways.....update soon

WHOOHOOO!!! You GO Kagome!! *does happy dance* Kagome kicked butt! Hehehe... Thanks SO much for updating!

luv luv luv it!!!!!

I really like your story. It has great potential. At this point I have no clue what will happen, and that makes me happy. Normally, fanfics are easy to predict, but not this one so far. Keep up the good work!
(and could you please e-mail me when your next chapter is up? *blushes*)

Yay!! You updated!! I wonder if Kagome lost any of her many skills she obtained over her sparing lessions wish Sesshomaru. Hmm....update again soon!!

Hi again!

Great chapter! I loved it how you made Kouga put Kagome in her place for interrupting his talk with Sesshomaru. And, like you, I think Sesshomaru is to slowly fall in love with Kagome, due to his character and to the fact that she is human. I love it so far. I'm willing to read the next chapter! Keep up! I wonder what is Sesshomaro going to ask Kagome to do...

Oh good another chapter.... I really like the way you have fleshed out your characters and that it is something you are taking your time with... It is a refreshing change from many fics which have them falling into each others arms in chapter 2...lol... Honestly it is a pleasure to read such well written and well thought out work...! Now hurry up with that next chapter ;)

thats great they finally met, but i still wonder what the he wants her to do, anyways it was a great chapter i cant wait for the third chap

Yes, she never did learn that some things aren't her business and that there are such things as Protocols. *sigh* Still, I like that her companions (or at least one) don't have a clue. Such pups. heh.

I'm so glad that Kagome and Sesshomaru have met again!! I can't wait to find out if her friends witness Sesshomaru and Kagome spar!! Great update!! Thank you so much for this wonderful story!! Can't wait for more!!!

Wow...what a great extension to part I. I have looked forward to reading your gifted version of a Sesshy Kags romance. I can't wait for you to reveal what is going with Kags youki.

This is a very good fanfic. I like it a lot. Please update soon. I want to know what happens.

Oh come on girl! Why do you have to leave me there? Update soon, you know I'm following. Neeeext please? ^_~

-Kanz

ah!! oh that was sooo wrong! your cliffies are going to drive me insane.. and i feel bad for my poor laptop... it gets shaken entirely too much lol. anyways, loving how this is coming, please update soon!!

luv the chapter!!!

ah! yes~
i'm glad it didn't take like, four chapters to have them meet again. and i'm wondering when they figure out why kag and sess have the ability to read each other...
i REALLY hope the group watches kagome fight really soon! i'm looking forward to that and your coming fight with kag and sess!!!

thanks for writing!

Me Likey Cant Wait To See Wuts Goin To Happen Next!

I really like the second chapter. Please update soon. What will happen next? I am really looking forward to it!

Intresting chapter. Hmm, much to ponder on. One of the main things would be what the hell Sesshoumaru is cooking up in that sexy head of his. Mayhaps you will show a bit of their sparing next chapter? I love it when they spar. So much fun, and opportunities to get a couple of giggles in. No spelling or grammar mistakes I could pick up this time. Good work, and keep em (chapters) comming.

luv the start!!!!

I love this story. Sesshoumaru and Kagome are both in character and the story is progressing very nicley. what more can I say? I've been to this board more then I like looking for updates on your fic. Great start I hope you continue.

oh la la! I sense a Inu/Ayame pairing in the near future! They are SO cute together! ^-^ I can't wait til Sess makes his appearance!

I love how you are going with the story. Hey, good way to get the story in suspense! I want to keep reading. Please update!

Me Likey Alot Cant Wait Ta See Wuts Gon Happen Next!

I get the feeling that Ayame and Inuyasha are going to fall for each other.

Yipeee....you started chapter two. I cannot wait for the next chapter...Keep them coming it is such a pleasure to read your writing!!!

*humph*!! that was an evil cliffy!! please....pretty please, update soon?!?!?!?! i really loved the first one.. and am hoping this one will be even better.. and perhaps, longer? (wink wink) lol

Woohoo!!! Hi again!! I'm glad the second part is up. I love this story!!!

Please write more. I'm dying to read about what Sesshoumaru will ask for. This second part is going good and I like the fact that you put time into making sure the grammar is correct. You have little to no grammar errors. It is a sign of a good writer. Who puts pride in their work. Anyways I will be awaiting the next chapter!

Your first chapter was great. Once again I am hooked. I can't wait to find out what Sess wants as well as what Shippo wants to show Kagome. I hope you post your next chapter soon, until then.

I love how you started Part 2. Just makes me ready to read more and more. I want to know what will happen when Sesshomaru collects his debt from Kagome. Please tell me when the next chapter is going to be up! You remember my email address: [email protected], right? Please give me an update soon!

OOOO! Can't wait for the next chapter. It's good! Love it!

Yay!! You started Part II!!

Can't wait for Sesshomaru and Kagome to meet again!!

i loved it, i just want to get to the part with sesshou cause im dying to find out what he has in mind, the first one was one of my fave stories

I was so excited when I saw the second part posted!! Yay! Update soon so Sesshomaru can arrive and say 'hello' to Kagome. Keep up the great work!! :]

Ooooooooo. I really like it! I hope that Sesshoumaru and Kagome will get reunitted soon. ^_^ Please update asap!

Brrr, that chapter makes me cold. I cant wait for the rest of this story to be unveiled! I wonder what was in that little pouch that Sesshoumaru had..hmm... probaly has something to do with the debt Kagome is going to have to repay. Since he is already outside or near the cave I assume, since that is most likely what Shippo wants to show Kagome. Hmm...*ponders on impending plot*

*claps*
I can't think of how you could improve anything.

Yay!! You've posted the second part to your wonderful story!! I can't wait to find out what Sesshomaru wants from Kagome!! I really like how uncomfortable Kagome is with Inuyasha!! Good for her realizing finally that she deserves to be treated better!! Please update soon!!

WAH!!!! SO cool!!!!

good start! i'm excited...

i'm anticipating kagome's first "trained" fight in front of her friends. and it seems as though one of the taiyoukai is plotting with naraku. hm....

oh. the way you're going, it kinda looks like you're pairing up ayame and inuyasha. it just seems like that...but i'm probably way off base. i haven't seen that pairing before...

good luck! keep writing!!!

Hehe...I would like to know what shippo has seen....I already have an idea...
ONce again, nice story, good flow, no grammar-mistakes, (at least I haven't seen any). Good job, keep this up!
Though I wonder what's up with Kouga??

Hmm, inu and ayame??? Hmmmm....I like it!!!
But I still want to see kag and sess!!
I can't wait!!

please, oh PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!! I loved the first part so much! You have to update soon or I'll go crazy!!

*squeals* Oh, I love it!!! I wonder what's going on with Inuyasha though... and Kouga... and what is Sesshoumarus request?

Update soon!!!!!!

hmm...i was wondering, will you pair ayame up with inuyasha? haha. no matter. i just wanna see how you're gonna make sesshomaru and kagome fall in love with each other^^ can't wait for the next chapter already!update soon!^^
