Sesshoumaru is a demon! Shockingly so! So, it's normal for a demon to do this to a human. You all keep forgetting this fact and you get on my ass, as well as Raychel's, about him not doing this to her.
Someone such as him will snap AND -abuse-, as ya'll put it, Kagome for her to submit. The message that Raychel is showing you that no matter how much she was abused, ignored, etc., she still loved him-a demon, who is high class.
So, for clover_babe and all the others, do you really know what love is? For a demon that is? Reason why I know this is that I actually see Sesshoumaru as a demon, who act ruthlessly, and not the way you all see him in the "respectful" light, which is a new twist and realistic.
Oh yeah, sex is not just sex. It's an action of love-and, yes I know Sesshoumaru took whores in bed but I bet you he didn't feel how much he felt in Kagome and realized that.
I explained this to DarkMiko6Decortiquer and she understood, so, why can't you all?
Think about it.
Other than that, I love this story-believe ir not. It's not by the fact that it's sadistic, if one could call it, Raychel was actually brave enough to go beyond what any author did to show how much he loved Kagome.

This FF is very nicely thought out and well-written.
Although I don't really approve or understand the plot. I understand what you mean by loving someone no matter what they are, how they treat you, and that you should just accept it and go on to forgive that person. But this is completely ridiculous.
He beats, abuses her, ignore her, then suddenly have sex with her and she forgives him. Then six months later, she's pregant, she made a nice speech to Nakima (or whatever her name is) that she loves him no matter what? This is sooooo0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 not Kagome! I understand some FFs requires the characters to OCC but not like this.
This is when Sesshoumaru deserve to have a few "sits" like Inuyasha!
Yes, you can love someone, giving them all your heart and soul, always forgiving and kind. But haven't you heard of temporary anger? She is still angry with him, wanting him to suffer for a moment with his guilt by goning away or something like that. Letting her know how miserable he can become without her. Then when she thinks he had really learn his lesson, come back to him. You can make this into a wonderful long FF that I am positive readers will love.
The only complement I can give you on this is you spelling, grammer, sentence structure and all but the plot and moral of this FF is absolutely FANTASTIC! Not a lot of authors can write with such emotions. I felt Kagome's pain when i read this. GREAT JOB!
If you would reflect on my opinion above and write more on this FF, I am sure you rating will rocket to at least a 8.0 than rather a 4.08 (last time I checked.)
I have looked back at you other FFs. They are very nice, not one under 9.0! You really are one FABULOUS AUTHOR!!!
If you consider this a flame, let it be. Although I consider it a truthful advice from a straight-forward reader who don't give a damn about the author's pride/feelings for her work.

i mean my god. u don't have to have sex if u love sumone. i mean jesus christ. I know Kagome is a lot stronger than that weakling that this author portrayed.
and im so sure that if u boyfriend or husband starts to beat u just because ur not submissive is a positive thing in a relationship. so i think u should just hush. if Sessho loved Kaggie so much, he would have NEVER hit her or bring whores into his bed. he has more honor than that.

i think it would've been way better if u just had Kagome die and let Sesshomaru deal with that guilt of being his fault.
it would've been more angsty. than with some happy ending.

Anyway, it's your story. I'm just offering my opinion. I do hope you won't think I'm flaming, because I'm not really. As a feminist and someone who believes that love shouldn't be hurtful, it pains me to see so many young girls writing stories like this because I worry that this might be what you all believe love is. Or if you're not a young girl writing this, then the message you send out to those same young women who read this story, you are presenting a very dangerous idea as being an acceptable solution.
Anyway, I'm sorry for the rambling. And I'm sorry if what I had to say might upset you, sincerely. I don't mean it harshly. It's just food for thought. Thanks for your time.

First he insults her and beats the shit out of her [and somehow this makes her love him all the more]
And then he takes HUNDREDS oF WHORES to his bed;and all she says," I only hope that my death will bring him happiness."
Give me a break! That i sjust sooo wrong on so many levels.
This means that a woman admires a man that maltreats her, that it is good to be submissive because at the end obviously he accepts her back into his bed, and that men have the right to hurt females and that there is nothing wrong with that.
Th eonly reason [okay one of the reasons] I like Sesshoumaru more is because he has HONOR and would not cheat on his mate like Inuyasha. This is just so wrong. It was peulsive to me, not the way you write but what you wrote. I will not rate you bad because your grammar was fine and all it just disgusts me internally and has no bearings to your story. I will give you a '10' for angering me so much. If you can draw such string feeling from me you write good.
But can you please explain why you wrote this? Are you in such a relationship? Have you seen your parents in this relationship? Where did this come from?
-Dani.
I'm a femnist and I am perplexed as to why a woman would want to be treated like shit. It's just not sexy to me.

Oh and Le Tigre. Calm down. Did you even read it? If you knew what love is-you would see past all the beatings. How would I know? Reading many, many, many, many romance books. I don't see what's bullshit about it. They both loved each other very much and Sesshoumaru just snapped. That happens sometimes in relationships. Sex is not just sex. It's showing how you love that person and he did show her how much he loved her.
Le Tigre- Mon 30 Oct 2006
You put someone through hell like that and you think sex can heal wounds like that? Bullshit.
I'm tired of seeing stories where Sesshoumaru abuses Kagome beyond forgiveness and he simply gets away with it.
I know it's your story or whatever. Same time, I call bullshit on it because there's no way that anyone...ANYONE...even someone as forgiving as Kagome would let him off the hook after what he did. He deserves to suffer. Period.
Anyway. Good job to you because I'm seriously pissed off right now. (Any writer can call themselves a success when their audience reacts, even if it's not what you expected. ^_~ So don't take it as a flame. Just take it as a tempermental fan who wants to stab the Sesshoumaru in this story's eyes out.
