Hey! Great story so far! Can't wait to see how it ends!

Because this story is too awesome for words...

Update. And that's all I'm saying.

*singing catch me if you can*
I see now why humans have emosoins, but I still find them pointless. ummmmm, oh yes! please write more. you aren't on my list as a job but I couldn't resist this sight, It's like it's a part of me. wait what am I saying ahhh. I have to get back to the soul siciety a-sap and remember why I'm a soulreaper!

O Where O Where has Kiska-san gone?
O Where O Where could she be?
Whith her story left here and her readers sad,
O Where O Where could she be?

Please write more, it's been so long. I absolutely love this story. I've re read it a couple of times. Not particularly loving Rin's predicament but I guess it's part of the story. I especially loved Sesshoumaru's admission in the last chapter “I do not like you, miko. You are an affliction. A disease. Would that I could rid my thoughts of you… You are a madness. Even now….” Just lovely, so please post more.

don't u dare quit on me now!!!! update pleeeeeeeease!!!!

bah!! damn authors and their damn cliffies!! so mean! please update soon! i really like this story and am ANXIOUSLY awaiting the next chapter!

okay, so is sesshomaru really in love with kagome? is the spell still on him? damn, this is confusing. i hope sesshomaru has real feelings for her. i bet rin and inuyasha are going to fall in love with each other, just a hunch,

well, judging your ability on this story alone, you will NEVER have trouble selling your original pieces! You are a really good writer. You really have the gift of the storyteller and i do love a good story!

Wow--WOW. I just read the last few chapters all at once, and I am absolutely reeling--that is some incredible powerful stuff. I love the intensity of Kagome's and Sesshoumaru's interactions, and the dark edge to it (though I hope they will eventually get past that point! ^_^;; And that his emotions are truly his own, and not just all from the spell), mixed with brief bouts of tenderness. Yikes, poor Rin though...now that was dark!

And when your book is published, you totally have to post about it here 'cause I would totally buy it. You've got a really catchy powerful writing style that I admire.

Thanks I guess. I feel so bad for Rin. She didn't deserve that. This is a great chapter. I can't wait to find out what happens next. Update soon. ^_^

Fantastic update. I am really enjoying your story oh so much...I love the way you are portraying their particular relationship, it is rich with passion and emotion, which you show with your words. And bravo for letting Kags finally be bold and going after what and who she wants... I cannot wait to see where your story goes from here. Your plot is just awesome, intricate and fast paced...Great job...keep up the wonderful writing!!!

Kiska-san,

This Whisper would like to tell you how impressed this one is of your characterizations. In opinion, it is Spark's strongest point.

This one is also a published novelist and would like to encourage Kiska-san to keep up with Kiska-san's novel. It takes a lot of effort and long nights in front of a computer screen to pull off, and one must battle constant blocks and threatening new idea distractions, but when one is finally finished, there is no better feeling in the world. In this one's opinion, Kiska-san has proven the skill. Kiska-san must simply hold onto the inspiration that sparked the first scribbles on napkins.

Hang in there.

Whisper

I know that I sound be mooning over the relationship between Kagome and Sesshoumaru, and, don't get me wrong, I love how you've portrayed their relationship, but I just can't help but feel so bad for Rin :( :(

This is such a good fanfic. I cannot wait for the next installment. Sesshoumaru's gonna kick some major ass :)

Also, Rin/Inuyasha? I like it!!!!

O_O...T-T poor Rin! *sniffs* Sigh...so depressing, but yet, so very, very good! I mean, wow, awsome, loved it...well...you get the idea.
Can't wait to read the rest...is this gonna end sad and make me bawl? Cause if so I'll have to stock up on comfort food man...haha, okay, another great chapter. Thanks!

please update soon! I know what it's like to feel discouraged with anything you write, and I wish you the best of luck on your novel!

Wonderful update as always.

oh oh oh kagome is being bold look out!!!! Kinda sucks that Sesshoumaru didn't start off with any TRUE feelings but hey he is a hot sexy beast anyway am I right?? tell me I am wrong. Great chappie loved it like the rest of your story. Keep me posted about zombies 101

Raiju is an evil bastard, isn't he?? Good thing Kags and Sessh are on their way. It should be interesting to see if Kags unwittingly goes after Sessh with the "third" part of the "mating ritual."

Poor Rin ... first, her little kid mind is warped by her body aging ten years overnight, then it's further warped by rape. Gonna be kinda hard to resurrect any semblance of "Rin" after this, isn't it?

Well, laziness and ennui aside, this has been a most informative chapter nonetheless. Now we know where Sessh stands regarding Kags. I'm sure we'll all be waiting with bated breath to see what befalls our 'dynamic duo' (no NOT Inu & Jaken) in the next installment!!
:)
~~Wiccan~~

gee I can't believe it but then again I would also like to do the you know what with a you know demon lord lol sorry I am spastic...I want to read the story so uhh I want to find your myspace. Tell me how many stories have you submitted?

Wow things are getting more and more interesting, it was kinda
nice-ish notice the 'ish' for that weasle to morph into Sess. And yep its me. Same Cobalt as ever.

*jumps up and down in joy* Yay, a new chapter! that was awsome...uh...except for the Rin part, I mean, that was awsome too but it was uh...sad? I don't know if that made any sense at all...sigh. Haha, man, I love this story and how you've done the charachters. Can't wait for more, update soon please! *bribes you with a shiny bauble*

omg! you're evil!

you didn't update today I think I am going to cry...and I really wanted to know about that zombie thing *cries*

Chelsea

OMG
OMG
Hats off to you. Its 3am and I'm standing in my living room clapping to you story as if I'm looking at it on screen. You so Rock. That was one of the Best stories I have ever read. (and it's not even finished yet) I feel like it just had sex, Damn that was good. Please, for the love of all that is good in this world update soon. PLEASE

OMG, so good. I love your stories!! They read so well! There isn't a part that drags too long or goes too short. It is so wonderful that you are an author on A Single Spark.

Oooh, more yummy citrus! And, a hint of the truth out of dear Sesshy ... whoa. THAT must've taken a bite out of his pride - which could explain the whole 'hates to love it' thing going on, huh? Hope the explanation was enough for Kags!

Now to figure out just what the Northern Lord has in mind for Inu and Jaken - he said HE wouldn't touch them, but he didn't say no one would, did he? Hmmm ... in addition, it's going to be really interesting to see what Sessh does when he finds out what's been going on w/Rin while he's been dealing w/Kags.

I'm so looking forward to seeing where things go from here! Lots of questions, lots of directions that could be taken ... GOOD STUFF!!
:D
~~Wiccan~~

omg this is getting intense!!! yay hentai! ahem...but omg there's still so much to explain!!

This Whisper enjoys writing to music as well. This one cannot see how people do without. However, this Whisper more often than not has to stick to soundtracks because otherwise this one starts singing along and gets no writing done!

Very interesting development.
Please continue.
Whisper is always lingering.

Gah!! No, why does Rin believe him!?! *screams in frustration* Okay, I am calm...sort of...haha...wah. but I want more...haha, love your music selection ^_^ thanks for the update!

very nice, you really write this story with class.

hmm... poor rin she's so confused.. update soon

I loved the chapter!

really pizza and zombies...I wanna read...yea but I loved that chapter. Sometimes people show love in the most...harsh ways. So yea about that zombie story...

I can really see how your writing style is improving as this story goes on. Lines like: "She made him this way. No one else had. No pale memory of a love fifty years lost. Just her. Just a plain girl who fell." are really really beautiful.
Please keep up the good work! You have a very interesting story going.

:D!!!!!!! i love this story and you have to update soon! like omg what's going to happen to kagome?! and poor rin being fooled like that! i hope she doesn't hurt Inuyasha!! GAH i need to find out ^-^

After reading your Bio I just had to say I LVOE ZOMBIES to lol ok I am done...I think but yea I have dreams about them it is so weird lol ok shutting up now...I just never met anyone else who liked szombies it is kinda funny

"cries" so beautiful please please please update soon, i'm addicted to ur story

oh the next chapter please... I cant wait! T_T!
this fic is sooo good. I'm gonna die from the suspense!

wow you need to update soon I loved it lol
good job it wasn't too smuty at least I don' thtink lol

Chelsea

Rin is acting like a kid...which she is i gotta keep reminding my self, a kids mind a in womens body, sess is soooooooo screwed. ANd wow he really wants to kill lil ole kagome, poor girl...have sex and then run, cuz the guy who can't get enough of you wants to now kill you, OUCH....must suck, great fic i love it and i can't wait till the next chapter. taht Raju dud needs to get his ass kicked by Inu Yasha real bad!

wow, just wow!! I was gone for the weekend and look up to chap 12 already!! WHOO HOO... wonderfully done. I can't wait to see what happens from here on out.

Oh dear ... silly Kags! Hmmm, let me guess, she doesn't quite make it to the well, right? And Rin goes for the tiger?? And Inu KILLS JAKEN! Oh, wait ... your story, not mine. Sorry.

I thought it was a perfectly lovely lemon, considering that Sesshy was a prick about the whole thing. In more ways than one, I guess? *smirk* Oh well, I'll still be waiting eagerly to see what happens when he TRIES to kill the poor girl. And has he forgotten that the necklace he had made let him know that she has feelings for him too??

Nicely written, great explanation from Jaken about the past between Sesshy and the tiger-dude. Thanks for making the end of the weekend a little more interesting!!
:D
~~Wiccan~~

This story is very entertaining and I really like the plot of the story. It is different from some of the stories I have read. I look forward to reading more of this story.

Yep running like hell for that well GIRL! Seriously pissed and confused Taiyoukai is on your heels!

Hmmm...so what is this about Inuyasha's Mommy?

As for that intelligently subtle and evil Raiji....be careful RIN...be very careful.

Thus far really good and wonderfully written as always. Thoroughly enjoying the creativity of this tale, it doesn't feel like most. Yes, I believe they call that originality.

Good Night

wow what a nice lemon and to all reading this coment i suggest you listen to music while reading lemons and wow it takes it out of the ball park its just a wonderfull experience expecially if you choose the right song. so yeah sorry about that whole rant but i really like reading while listening to music and just wanted to chare. YOU YES YOU READING THIS, SHOULD TRY IT!!!

I'm both glad and horrified that I waited this long to start reading this story. Glad, because I could read a huge chunk in one sitting. Horrified, because now I have to wait for your next update .... ARRRGGHH!!

I can see that you do, as mentioned in one of your author's notes, take grammar and spelling quite seriously. I was pleasantly surprised and EXTREMELY happy to see it. Let's face it, not everyone is as concerned about the reader's sensibilities in that regard. And nothing ruins a good story faster than spelling and grammatical errors that make one TWITCH!

Obviously, your enchanting tale has not a trace of those niggling little problems!! In addition, you have managed to throw quite a few original concepts into what I had thought might have been an overworked plot device ... the poison thing. Yuppers, QUITE original! Thank you so much for an enjoyable evening's reading ... I will be eagerly looking forward to updates!
:D
~~Wiccan~~

-giggles- this is getting so good!! Please add lemony goodness? Pwease?

Aww, I loved the scene between Kag and Sess...he caught her in her (unknowing) lie. ^__^ Things are going his way at last!

Oh dear though, I hope Rin doesn't turn on Sesshoumaru...she should get together with Inuyasha, then everyone's happy!

And what's this about an illegitimate child?? o.o

I had seen this fanfic many times before but I had never read it until now and I am quite happy that I did. I enjoy reading your work. Great job! ^_^

-River

DON'T DO IT RIN!

Hehehehe...ever so small crush indeed.

Don't be so suprised by the reviews. The work merits it.

can't wait for the lemon and i wonder what happened to sesshy's child

I can't believe Sesshoumaru got a woman pregnant and left her! Why was it, did she use a spell on him too?

I read this fic in between studying for my finals, it's great and cracks me up, and oh man sess knocked someone up and left her?? no way!! what happened to Mr. honorable? And i hope Rin doesn't get the idea to come and kill Kagome!! Oh the drama! I adore this fic, keep it up! looking forward to the lemon!!!!

Wow...amazing! But GAH...nooo, Rin healed him!?! *breaks something in frustration* Okay, I'm calm now, honest. Haha, can't wait for the next chapter, love the fic!

interesting so Rin is a Miko? good! I hate it if that weisel rape her.

The plot thickens. Okay this fans view thus far:

See even Jaken can love *soft smile*. Love his line about the annoying scantily-clad female lol!

Know when to say when Inuyasha...sigh, still, you are hero material. Misguided but hero material.

That disgusting youkai Raiju needs a serious hurt put on his sorry ass for mistreating and abusing our little gap toothed Rin and I really want Sesshy to do it, but if necessary Inuyasha can do it.

Oh and thank you Kagome, for taking charge of the mess created,all be it deliciously, gotta love the auxiliary plan post *deed being done* and run like hell for the well lolol!

Oh and last but not least. Sesshoumaru's Mom is a BITCH! I want Kagome to deck her. Gut tells me it is not just self preservation of her son at work in her idea of getting even with our fearly Svantily-Clad Miko *chuckle*.

Very nice chapter...oh and Sesshy, you are seriously having a bad time of it old boy Ever so sorry. Killer chapter Kiska!

...omgosh, this is so sad!
I mean, yes, in a way.
Rin is ...different, Sess is mad, Kagome is ...really confused, and Inuyasha is disgusting.
But... sigh. T______T
I WISH THEM GOOD LUCK! D:

oh no! These chapters are too short! I really like this story! Thanks! I cant wait for more

Sesshomaru-sama's mother...
interesting development.

Poor Sesshoumaru, oh no! ;_; That was so mean of Inuyasha. I'm glad Kagome's starting to feel something for Sess though, even if she doesn't quite acknowledge it.

And ack, now Rin is competing for Sesshoumaru's affections?? Noooo! It needs to be Kagome! ;_;

The plot thickens ... excellent!

its getting good but so much drama! lol write more soon!

>. Stupid Inuyasha....grrr...he has terrible timing! And poor Sesshomaru, adn stupid, stupid potion! GAH! *rips hair out in frustration* I'm going to go crazy!! Okay, haha, but it was great...well...all your chapters are great, but oh well, I guess I'll jsut have to settle for being repetative ^_^

I absolutely love where you are going with this story!! Aging Rin huh? Nice touch there... I am starting to discover that your writing never disappoints...it flows so nicely, with wonderful discriptions and a fine understanding of the characters.. I really, really cannot wait for your next update!

Oh my god, I love this story. Reading it is an absolute delight. Your writing is crisp and powerful, but more than that, your characterization is amazing. I *love* the way you show Sess's thoughts; his confusion and pain is so real and tangible. I think it's a really nice touch that even throughout his obsessive love, he doesn't *want* to feel this way...especially since she's not returning his feelings. I feel so awful for him whenever she rejects him. I can't wait for more--agh, I hope nothing worse happens to poor Rin!

ooh! I'm excited to see the next chapter!! Oh god! I'm so nervous! Will Rin be saved? With Sesshoumaru regain his memories? Will Kagome sleep with him!? Ugh! So many questions! Give some answers!!!!! -begs-

Very good! This Whisper is on the edge of her seat! Update soon!

Highest Regards!

T_T poor rin! Gah! The potion is making me go crazy, that and I'm starting to look crazier than normal because I'm sittin here yelling at my computer for Sesshomaru to remember...sigh...oh well, all in the name of good reading I suppose. ANyway, thanks for the AMAZING chapter!

AHHHH!!! How could just leave it like that?!?! Im gonna guess rin is going youkai on us huh?? Damn Inu just couldnt wait 5 minutes... I can only guess how he is gonna react when he wakes up... Oh well see ya at the next update... later

Wow!!! Good story so far... I have enjoyed reading it.... Sorry Rin has to go thru what she is,,, but wait until Sesshomaru gets a hold of him.... Poor demon won't know what hit him... And Inuyasha will help with Rin right...
Hurry and update,,, I can't wait for next chapter... I want rating to go up and a lot more lemons... Iam hentai what can i say.... LOL!!!
Take Care
Mari

I am ever so glad I found your story. It is really quite good. You have a gift with words and you are delving quite nicely into their characters. My curiosity is piqued..Rin's transformation you say? Inuyasha stumbling in on them in that particular moment...I cannot wait to see your next update....This fic shows great promise to be amazing!

wow...I'm in awe... I read the summary and thought: this sounds like something I can read to pass time... and omg! This is something much BETTER than something to read to pass the time! I commend you! I hope you update soon!

Heh, with your writing you can afford a huge ego ^.^ Yet another awsome chapter...and plot twists, sigh, the suspense is going to be a killer this time. THanks for the great chapter!

Oh and God Bless Debauchery! The world needs more of it! LOLOLOL!

You are just Eeeeevil lol! Nice start...

Poor Rin...I am curious about the transformation, even more curious as to the trap laid for our Taiyoukai by that other dastardly youkai.

Now, back to important things like "clets play count Sesshoumaru's strips" *waggles eyebrows*

Nice update, but don't you DARE think you aren't going to finish that session heheheehe.

Oh yeah...poor InuYasha LOL.

Poor Rin.
This one is curious as to what "transformation" she has undergone.

Patiently awaiting the next update,
Whisper

Ahhh! Update now. Right now! Moreeeeeeeee citrus :P

Every chapter keeps on getting better and better! I was almost expecting you to take the cop-out route like so many others and when the time came, say 'Oh! The potion was a dud, it's all Sesshy's twu feewings!11'

Thank you for not making it easy. On one hand, there's Kagome's serious angsting over her actions.... and on the other hand, there's on-the-edge-of-your-seat-HAWTNESS!! XD

Great work!! I loved how Kagome was getting into it towards the end... unfortunately for Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha had to interrupt... hahaha. I wonder if Inuyasha will remember what he saw when he comes to.
Anyways, I was sooooo happy to see that you posted again!! I keep checking back every so often (okay like every hour or so) to see if you've updated. (also hoping that you update soon... maybe in the next 5 minutes or so...) ;)
Keep up the great story!!

I must say having taken 20 minutes of a break in the office to sit back and do a bit of light reading on “A Single Spark”, or more accurately checking on all my favourite current pieces to see what was updated, and came across “Spark” by Kiska.

2 hours later….

None of my favourites were up, so, I began looking through the summaries, and I came across the title Spark and liked it, so began with a peripheral read of the first few paragraphs and somewhere, ever so imperceptibly after ““Kagome…we need to talk,” he said.” I found I was ENGAGED by the piece, several chapters later… so much for 20 minutes.

Basically, I find this a superior piece.Excellent writing, wit, and sensual sexuality.

Needless to say, I love the sexual dance between Sesshoumaru and Kagome. Fabulous, I read it with a learing smile on my face….oh…and where I last left off…bring on lemony goodness. Never mind it being a full scale lemon or not….I am going to enjoy watching how you plot out this rather intimate encounter between the two. You do have a gift for wording, of sight and sound. You do play your characters well off each other and never forget to add humour.

I truly do appreciate the care you take in development of the piece and perhaps that is why I eventually just sat down and read all the way through. Your summary does not do the piece justice. YOU CAN WRITE…and you understand romance.

As for Sesshoumaru being besides himself re FINALLY understanding what’s on offer lolol! Yeah well….which guy would not agree *snicker*. Hell, which woman, put in Kagome’s position….you get my drift…*waggle waggle*…

Keep up the excellent work! You are a wordsmith!

P.S. You might want to take a crack at your summary again, it DOESN”T do justice for the work and effort and skill shown in the writing of the piece. Just my humble opinion.

Please, please please please please update with the next chapter. I know you have it already written... and it is killing me!! I want to know what happens next.... cry cry cry.

Aw man, I love this fic ^.^ it's awsome, and I love Kagome's 'which one wouldn't you kill me for' speal...haha, especially since Sesshomaru was so confused. ANyway, thanks for the update! Can't wait for the next chapter =D

Because of the way Sesshomaru acts because of the potion and the funny little things he does, like how he sighs two times and how Kagome rejection affects him, I find your story remarkable. So please continue writing and updating more often. Bye!

Wow this is really cute...and well written! I really am enjoying the concept of the story. And now I find myself greatly looking forward to an update. ... Nice job so far!

Hahahaha!!! Hilarious!! Well done. I can't wait to see what happens next. Kagome is in quite a bind :) And Inuyasha as Rin's fiancee-- rich!

I like where your story is going, and I can't wait to read more! Please update soon! Although it looks like you will.

*gives you big, sparkley eyes* Wow, so good! ^_^ I liked it, especialy Sango, she's funny pregnant. Thanks for the great update!

This is absolutely fantastic! While it seems the 'potion' was a bit of an awkward plot device, the rest of the story has been awesome.

Your characterizations have been superb. While Sessh might be falling all over Kagome, he stil has these great points of lucidity where he's disgusted at his actions, but then his disgust and lust meld into something very dark. Hurrah for darkness =D

Oh freaking crap on a buffet cart, I am enamoured of this story. First off, I'm glad there's no one else in the office (yes, office...I'm so fired) but me, because I'm guffawing out loud. I'm smitten. Can't wait to read more!

Last line of chapter three made this Whisper laugh.

The fourth chapter was very interesting.
This Whisper is curious as to where this will lead.

This one also thanks Kiska-sama for regular updates and saving this Whisper's hair.

It is nice to find an author who has actually thought everything through instead of just slapping something down.

This one awaits the next chapter with a smile.

Highest regards.

I love this fic, it's the highlight of my day ^_^ it makes me laugh, I love it! Thanks for another great chapter.

I just thought that you might want to know that I LOVE this fic. *sighs dreamily* It's amazing, plus the plot, oh man, I can't wait for more! Haha, and the strawberry lipgloss, oh ya, so funny! Okay, well I'm done, thanks for the amazing fic! Can't wait for the next update. =D

Ooops, now Kagome is really in for it now...
Casting a spell on Sesshoumaru.....not exactly the greatest idea...hehe
But she should hurry up and ask the witch if there's an antidote...
HHEHE...and Inuyasha too....Poor Kagome, her heart is now overloaded...heheh

All in all, a very nice story! Keep going!

awwe man! c'mon! update soon please??? i really like this, its very interesting! haha sesshoumaru had the hots for kagome all along huh? lol, well...he does like her legs haha. this is a very interesting way to get them to go for eachother, and awwe! the thing with the slap soothing was just sweet! haha he forgave her! :-) ...inuyasha should most definately not go try to get all jealous now... men, i swear! lol.... well, hmm maybe he should accept the proposal to marry rin!..? im not sure lol.... but sesshoumaru has to remember that he needs to marry her to his brother for that to happen also! lol. well, please update soon! i am very much looking forward to seeing what happens next! p.s. aww.... a short fic? c'mon... you know you wanna make it longer with sequels and all that! *bribes with sesshoumaru-shaped cookies* :-D hehe, something to think about, maybe? *wink* update soon! :-)

Omg update. Will inuyasha see sesshoumaru all over kagome? Please update. ^.^

i like it update soon

This Whisper thanks Kiska-san for updating.
Chapter two did not disappoint.
Kiska-san's portrayal of the characters is very genuine.
The interactions between Kagome-san and Sesshomaru-sama were intriguing and a delight to read.
Kiska-san's style comes across short sweet and to the point when writing action
but be careful it doesn't run too thin.

This Whisper enjoyed the internal conflicts of Kagome for they were the most eloquently written and well thought out.

This one shall await Kiska-san's next update.

Until then.

I'm really enjoying this so far, keep up the good work! :)

I like this story very much and i am looking forward to the next chapters that you will post. Keep up the good work.
Sakura

This is an interesting story, and maybe it's just me, but this seems a little too racy to be rated "G". Just my thoughts. You may want to up the rating, just to be safe. But, it is an interesting story and I can't wait for the update =)

Unique start.
No "super convenient" OOCness.
Clear and to the point writing style.
No major grammatic problems.
Lacking somewhat in classical structure and in-depth exposition but potential is there and the plot's nice pace and set tone more than balance it out.

This Whisper likes it so far.
But a question lingers.
Will Kiska-san be the type to make this one wait or will one see regular updates that will make angels weep?
No need to shout.
Simply update and this one will review.
Kiska-san has found a loyal reviewer.
But wait... another question.
Can Kiska-san keep Whisper around?
Only time will tell.

::scowls and demands continuation:: PWEEEAAASSSEE!!!!!

Interesting start. I look forward to seeing how you continue this!
