Ooops--I forgot to mention in my previous review the Japanese issue. I think you went a little overboard. I know a lot of people seem to like peppering their stories with Japanese to try and increase the "authenticity", but it just seems silly to me. While I whole-heartedly approve of using Japanese where there is not a good translation into English--honorifics being a very good example--it's a bit specious to use Japanese where there are perfectly acceptable English translations.

Hmmm ... interesting. I notice that you've included some notes on the manga. Can I ask, is it in the manga that Sesshomaru is vulnerable to holy powers? I'm only really aware of the anime, where Sesshomaru catches purification arrows without even singeing his fingertips. I guess the whole Kikyo/Kagome/Sesshomaru conflict would have been a bit absurd if you'd stayed true to that, though, not to mention that half of Chiyo's threat would have been completely nullified. Anyway, it's quite engrossing and nicely written. I have to say, though, that I'm very unhappy with the way it "ended". I only started reading it because its status was "complete". I can't express how unhappy I am to discover that it not only isn't complete, it actually ends on a cliff-hanger :(.

So far so good, BUT, i just hate the mix of japanese and english. I understand if there is a little bit of it, but it is annoying to read fanfics where there is a jumble of japanese words mixed with english.

Just a suggestion. It will help with the flow of your fanfiction. To keep having to scroll down and remember what words mean is somehat irritating.

On another note, it is a nice fic and keep up the good work!

Thousand pardons for not leaving my email for you to contact me when the sequel is complete. It is dragon_of_night007 AT yahoo.com.

make sure there is a sequel because your endimg is really sad indeed and really dissapointing there some much you can add ya know!! i felt like crying because they did not live happily ever after

''
He tightened the hold around her waist, and rested his chin on her sweet-smelling head. He would have to win Kagome's heart over from Inuyasha, by hook or by crook. She would belong to him and no one else. And it really did not matter whether he liked her or not, as long as she stayed with him. To think like this was much simpler and clearer. There was no need to further complicate things; when they are already so entangled in their own mess.'' God i like that part!! that's what i like about dogs, my bone, mine only. Oh i hope someday that after collage, a dead gorgeos hunk just like sessh would say those words to me!! { blush and droooooooolls!!}

Excellent story, but why did you make Byakuya sound so evil? He's really not that bad, you know. Anyway, could you email me when the sequel is finished?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! A CLIFFY! WHY? HOW COULD YOU?!?!?! PLZ WRITE MORE!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! A CLIFFY! WHY? HOW COULD YOU?!?!?!

What the hell?!?!?! Y did he lose his memory? *pouts* i't so fun to see them fight!

This is the WORST cliffhanger I have yet to face. Oh my God! This was a wonderful story. I think I cried at least three times for Kagome. If you ever plan to do that sequel to Fate please e-mail. I need to know the ending!!!!!! T_T Please keep on writing. You're just too good to stop now.

so did Sesshomaru die and did Kagome die with him? what about the prophecy? did Sesshomaru in the end attack Inuyasha because he thought that Inuyasha had let Kagome be kidnaped and blamed him? or was it just that he wanted Inuyasha out of the way so he could have Kagome?

I really like this story alot. Can you please write some more chapters? Or can you write a sequel to this story please?

Great Story! I love the plot, but I do not see the sequal? When ya going to write it...could it be posted elsewhere?

I am so confused. What exactly happened at the end? I know Inuyasha attacked Sesshoumaru and then you lost me there. Can you please explain?

Wow'zers. Your story is delish! I love it! I want more, but where is that darned sequel, man!? I am on a cliffy!
