You're writing has NOT gone down hill! Unfortunately real life has gotten in the way of my reading and reviewing some of my favorite stories.  This was a wonderful chapter and I love how Kagome is exploring her sensuality and slowly becoming a woman.  I also adore the way the relationship between Kagome and Sesshoumaru is unfolding.  It's like watching a beautiful flower awakening slowly due to the warmth of the sun.  I can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter.

Oh my gosh! I love your fanfiction titled "The Twelith Concubine". I love it very much! When I first read it I was instantly hooked. The latest chapter is the best! How Kagome and Sesshomaru share that kiss and how he reassures her. It makes me really happy for her. Thank you for making this fanfiction! I am so glad I came across it! Please update more (:

Opened my emails and saw 'The Twelfth Concubine'! Such a great start to the day :)

You write brilliantly. I love your style, very descriptive without being overly so. I can only imagine how good the lemon is going to be  ;)

I must say that I am very guilty of lurking and not reviewing half as much as I should.. I shall remedy that by reviewing lots from now on!

Another wonderful chapter. So she has completed her intimacy lessons...what happens next?

The way you write is so damn epic. It's like you cant get as flawless as this story. Really you just cant. It's just that ...darn...good. You have one of those minds a woman want to crawl into to experience a great love story in the making. Out of all the stories I've read, I have never read one as heartfelt and well thought out as this one. You put not only a new twist on things as your story progresses, you stick to and protray certain traditions and customs flawlessly while adding an individual AUBREY signature flare to it, then add moralistic values to things the avergae person couldnt even think of incoporating into a story as you have. Keep up the fantastic work.

My mind humbly awaits your next update....*fidget* oh yes I'll ...wait....*eye ticks* oh who am I kidding? I cant wait, I really ...cant....just save a life and update soon ...oh wait all is not lost you posted another masterpiece on FanFiction.net....Im saved ...>_> for now

D.O.D -_-

Another fun yet bittersweet chapter that reveals more of the history and mysterious world

Kagome is now part of.   I liked the foreshadowing used, the tease about the vial, and manner in which

you are creating intimacy between Kagome and Sesshoumaru.  She is letting down her guard more with him, growing acclimated to his touch and allowing him more liberties with her person.  She's not aware when he does some things although she responds.  Step by step the boundaries between them-mental and physical-are dissolving. I'm on the edge, looking forward to her first kiss!  *sigh*  It won't be for a while just yet but it's coming!

I like the way in which Sesshoumaru runs the area he is responsible and the role of the concubines.  Looking forward to when it will be revealed the whys behind who Sesshoumaru gifts with his essence. 

This was another good update.  I can see Kagome is running out of time. Tick tick!  I love the idea for her kimono!  Where did you get the design idea from?

Have a wonderful weekend!

YAY!!! I honestly squeed when I saw this had an update. I absolutely loved this chapter! I'm interested in when we find out exactly... how Kagome will know to take the vial that the old woman gave him. It's very intriguing. I also liked how Sesshoumaru took Kagome out to see the battlefield with them alone. Even though the story was morbid, Inu no Tashio's death and all, it was still romantic how Kagome tried to put him at ease. MORE!

So uhm this story is loved. I really enjoyed it... it was cleverly written, you have made this story believable and I really like your portrayal of Sesshomaru. Keep up the good work.

Very sensuous, sexily crafted scene with Kagome!  I'm pleased that she has been given time to explore her sexuality and is learning what pleases her.  That thread of controlling her power linked with sex was bound to come into play--I like the way you handle this and the description works. 

Of course, my favorite scene is with Kagome and Sesshoumaru!  I enjoy the sexual tension between them and the mental connection.  My only complaint is the scene screeched to an abrupt halt.  I would have liked to see Sesshoumaru's reaction to her embrace, his response, her reaction to his response.  it's part of the build up and the evening they spent together was spent heavily in conversation, after all.  So the physical connection and awareness would intensify.

Thanks for the update!  Great!

You have my complete trust! Do what you will, I know that there is no way you could ever turn me off of this story, even if it means a few sniffles in chapters to come.

Soooo, I'm in love with this story. I'm obsessed, smitten, and fascinated with it! I feel like such a goofy kid by admitting to this, but every time I see that you've updated this story I do a little happy wiggle in my chair! Great job Aubrey; can't wait for more!

I really love this story. Thanks for the update! I like how even though she has not been fully educated, she knows enough to debate intellectually and thus won the honor of access to the archives. Maybe he will eventually get her another tutor as well?

LOL! So much u have to explain but I am enjoying this plot! Update soon

Hints at new characters to interact with!! I almost wonder though where did the people in Kagome's village think she went? Either way... I wonder when Kagome will get to see more of the other concubines and figure out what the story behind her being the last one is all about. Intersting lesson. Can't wait to see her put these to use with Sesshoumaru. That is sure to be quite awkward and I can't wait. I can't wait to see what happens next :)

Miroku and Inuyasha! I wonder how their story is going to be weaved into Kagome's.

I think this is my favorite chapter of all. So wonderfully written! Such great insights into the characters too. I love the way Kotono spoke to Kagome about her uniqueness, in a kind of reasurring gentle way which wasn't intimidating or overly motherly.

I really got a kick out of the suprise!  Inuyasha and Miroku!  And I'm looking forward to seeing how

their story ties into the plot. 

Kotono is seducing Kagome.  Whoa.  THIS is exquisitely written. I like the journey of the senses.

This a a very good story.  I like hows you've added an element of respect to the job of concubine, one that usually isn't there.  I feel like your chapters are always the perfect length too, I don't know how you manage that.  Hope they keep coming, I always look forward to your updates!

i've never read a story that was ANYTHING like this. I love it! the originality, all of it! please update soon!!

I loved this chapter!! It was so awesome how you described the light "touching" the skin. I wonder if anyone can really feel it. I mean, I can feel the heat of the sun on my face if I close my eyes. But it was so awesome how you described the sensation! I thought that you can actually feel the light touch you, if you concentrate enough.

Whoot! Inuyasha and Miroku show up!! and Shippo! XD Can't wait to read more of those characters!

Please update soon!
