a great story keep up the great work i hope to read more soon ^_^

Your doing a great job, I can't wait to read more of it. Please update soon.

I soooo loved this chapter. I love how the relationship is developing between Sesshoumaru and Kagome. Please hurry with the next chapter. I cannot wait to read it. MORE PLEASE, and FAST!

Thank You Thank You for another lovely chapter - I can hardly wait to find out what happens next!

When I first read this, my mouth LITERALLY fell open at the end. I was definitely NOT expecting that but loved every moment of it! ^^

I'm anxious to see how Kagome fares when her training starts!

Overall, a great chapter! :]

i LOVE this story! i love that you don't take the easy way, and don't over explain, like i've seen a lot of fics, i think a lot of people from Dokuga know I'm a reader and reviewer! So many people make kimono's "hourglass" and "curve hugging" in fiction, so many people make "tendrils" around the face. and it is so very NOT formal, or traditional, which is what feudal era Japan would be. I actually have fits in Dokuga chat about that, stupid tendrils.

I appreciate so much that you actually had the padding, to get the cylindrical shape down! I adore you in fact for it. At the same time you didn't go overboard with details that will in the end lead to nothing but too much wordy Japanese. That too is over done. As a reader i want you as an author to paint a story for me that i can see and understand, not something i hafta look up on the net to get what your talking about. and you REALLY REALLY did that fantastically.

I love you for that!

I also love that your giving so many details, but at the same time, you leave it open for the reader to interpret at times. Not only that, you haven't made them just fall so in love with one another that its corny or cliche. You bring up the fact that Sesshomaru's life has shaped him, and that few if any get to see the real him b/c of the mask he is forced to wear all the time. I cant help but look at this and feel very moved by it all b/c its romantic, and tragic in a small way.

I know that it ends well b/c i doubt many authors make it go bad, and that in the end, Kagome doesn't lose herself but i can tell the foreshadowing that she will come close to breaking. Though as an avid fan of AsskickingKagome, i do hope that she gets to shove something in their faces. Its a lot to take in hat her life has been so taken from her, and that she only has the option to accept this fact.

But I'm confident in the fact that this will work out, and that in the end both Sesshomaru and Kagome will fall in love with one another. Though all of it does make me wonder how they are going to deal with being mated, her being a new lady, probably preggy, Naraku, and the Tama. And has his mother even thought about the fact that her soon to be daughterin law has a greater destiny then just her son's mate/breeder, in the fact that she is The Shikon Miko?

Oh well I'm going to be stalking this fic until its done! so i'll find out! *wiggles update bribery c0okie at you*

I LOVE this story. It is so good. I can't wait to read the next chapter. Please undate soon.

0o0o0o i likes this! i like that kagome's not powerless but at the same time not overly strong!

Oh, hazzah!

An update! <3 This just made my evening.

That snippet of fluff at the end was just what I needed. Lovely chapter. And I'm glad Kagome could defend herself. I'm glad she didn't whip out any wicked ninja techniques or MMA moves. XD

Keep up the lovely work.

A new chapter!  I thought this day would never arrive.  And now that it has, I'm sad that I read this so quickly and didn't savour the update; who knows when the next one will come?!

I LOVEEEE it...I'm glad Kagome did well.  That'll teach all those damn dogs not to mess with her.  I hope you'll update again soon...pretty please ;)

Steady* sorry xD

Love the first chapter. Stead plot, build up, and things flow well.

The only thing that this chapter was lacking, in my opinion, was the imagery.

But once again, good job.

Yah the next chapter!  I can hardly wait for the next one now!  Really like this one!

Thanks for writing it!  keep up the great job!

Aww.... Sessh actually sorta said sorry!!! ^^

I can't wait to see how Kagome fares against Kimiko and her Lady training! =]

Great Chapter and Update Soon!

I loved the chapter. I hope you start the next chapter soon. =]

DON'T YOU DARE NOT  UPDATE.I LOVE THIS PLOT.

This story is amazing! I love how Sesshomaru doesn't want to settle down and not acting as if the West is the most important thing in the world. And how Kagome doesn't love him just yet! Please update soon!

I just read all 17 chapters in 2 days, and I have to say I am really enjoying this story. You've done a great job keeping everyone in character. I look forward to more!
