Also, if we did not take liberties, would we even have fanfiction? 

I've been having a horrible time myself and sometimes seeing fanfic updates are the only bright spot to my day, so I'm glad you found some time to work on this! Sometimes making something is how you get by. 

wow those were great chapters....   Grief will do that to a person and I can understand where Kagome comes from only to learn how life is in the past.  With Izayoi being indifferent it will be hard for Kagome to continue with what she is doing without resentment....  I hope all goes well with her plan to show emotions. 

Update soon

I remember reading this before and you've added more since then! I hope to see more again!

wow this story has grown so much and read this far I felt everything. this is some very well written work. the story I can see the characters and the emotions felt the anger the pain. I do hope you continue to write and continue this story and many more in the future. on a more personal note, I hope you are well in this crazy times.

I am totally AND completely  hooked 

Holy crap a lot has happened since the Watch II chapter. The house of the moon has been through it. Who were those attackers? Where’d they come from? This is the moment Sesshoumaru turns into the Kilking Perfection who upholds honor and duty above all else.  I feel so bad for Fuiasu, like the burden of her curse and secrets. How will she ever recover from her mates death. Then there‘s Toga, personally I’ve always liked him as a character. Just could never figure out the reason why he would step out on his mate. What does Masashi hope to accomplish? Is he good or bad or grey? Will Midoriko meet pup Kagome? I thought Atsuki would be there for Kagome lonng into the future. His death was a sorrowful surprise. Maybe it’s one of his siblings descendants or one of his siblings. The House of the Moon is gonna need a new Head healer. Alot of recovery and balance is going to have to happen in the coming chapters. I feel as though this arc is just going to get darker before we see the light again. And finally, the poor girls, smh.

Ja ne till next time and keep up the great work.

Man I truly can't wait for more. I'm always on the look out for updates to this story. Till next time!

Want and need are two very different things.

This was heartbreaking.

I wish I could be horrified by these admittances, but I don't disagree with the decision to let Kagome die if it stopped Toga from dying and Iniyasha from existing. If I were in her shoes, I probably hesitated too. This will go deeper than destroying their family. Letting Kagome.die that day would've kept this all from happening. 

What a horrible weight to bear, the regret she has to feel for letting Toga go save Kagome that day... 

Agreed. There will always be a part of them that won't see her as family 

I LOVE THIS STORY! WOW!!!! Amazing!!! Having said that, the length of these chapters is... whew!! Idk why you or other authors do it but Its hard to keep up with once it gets to a certain point. I couldn’t finish Bitter Like Chocolate bc the chapters are sooo short that it just becomes a hinderance to really enjoying the story and its excellent if not perfect writing. its like here we are at xxx chapter and its more of the same, some scenes i cant even remember bc they happened so many chapters back and a character is referring to it, so i have to go back & find the chapter to jogg my memory.. The fic couldve have been condensed to about 50-60 chapters. With this story I just hope it doesnt veer off i to the 200-300 area bc i’d love  to finish this and not have to abandon it like i did BLC. its ok to have longer chapters lol 

Heart breaking

Thank you so much for your hard work. I can understand the hesitation, Fuiasu has found love in Toga that she hasn’t received before, not even from her parents. shes worked very hard to keep him alive and its heartbreaking when she realizes that she cant escape it this time without losing someone shes grown to care for. Kagome. Despite knowing what shes going to lose, she did what was right instead of what would be beneficial to her. She wasnt selfish and even though it was the right thing to do, it still hurts bc shes going to lose in the long run. I think Fuiasu has grown as a person, not my much, but the growth is still there lol

Gods. So incredibly beautiful. But, Kagome can be their salvation too. Can't wait for more!

That's sad. Why does Kagome have to died in order for Toga to be saved? Regardless, like she said there was more than one visions showing him dying only one was a for sure answer of how to keep Toga alive and that vision has to do with Kagome. But I hope he is still alive in this story as Kagome grows and his love/relationship with izoya grows too.  Maybe, just maybe they'll find a way to keep Toga and Kgome alive. Fingers crossed... please let it happen. 

Not that we didn't know they'd be forever changed, but these two chapters were disheartening in an expected manner. I'm assuming there will be another small time jump, where they'll already have been in more formal training, taking their classes and responsibilities too seriously, when we next see the kids.

Interesting and insightful seeing what has occurred from Izayoi's POV, esp. the observations on Touga.

Love it! Just gushingly beautiful. Can't wait for more!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I get it, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

RIP hair.
