lol =)

I actually goy teary eyed reading this, which is a very BIG compliment from me. I only cry after reading the ending if I have become very attached to the story. You are a wonderful writer and I shall be looking forward to seeing your new stories. And....thank you for the happy ending!

I hate you so much you made me cry so many times while reading this. (LOL I don't really hate you) Great fanfic i absolutely loved it. Are you gonna write another one? Any way I loved it. Good luck with wrting.

Its over! *sobs quietly* I can't believe that its finished. *sighs* I think I'll be fine but saying goodbye to such an amazing story is hard. This has been a blast from the start, with every emotions being written so well that you could really truly believe that something like that could happen. I've loved your story from the start and although I'm abit saddened at it's completion I'm also happy and content with the way you brought everything to a close. I'll be sure to check out your future writings but for now I'll part with letting you know what a excellant writer I think you are. Well see you around or read you around, lol, whichever you prefer. Peace be with you, FleetingDream

I can't believe it's finished! I've really enjoyed this fic all the way through, even when things between Kag and Sess were rough. You did a fabulous job of writing this in a way that was REAL. I don't think the ending could have been any better. There is joy and contentment and love, but there is also an acknowledgment of what was lost. Kagome lost her best friend and a son that she doesn't remember. Sess lost a son and a brother that he really never knew he had. And my heart still aches for Rin, even though she is finally moving on. Who can resist the puppy ears? I sure couldn't. :)
So anyways, thank you for writing this story. Every time you updated just made my day. And thanks for the happy ending, I knew you wouldn't let me down. :) I really look forward to seeing what you move on to next fic-wise. Inu/Rin could be good! And I look forward to when you write another Kag/Sess fic, cuz frankly, you do a great job of it. :: Hugs!! ::
Until next time...

And so the saga ends. Sweet and simple, it's almost the complete opposite of the rest of the story, and yet a breath of fresh air as well.

I agree that Inuyasha and Rin are wonderful together. He needs someone as kind and loving as Kagome and she needs someone who understands her relationship with Sesshoumaru while showing her love and tenderness.

I'm so glad you are posting on Dokuga. I've seen you in the forum from time to time and I hope we get the chance to talk more. You've been a beacon in the fanfic world for me. Thank you for the wonderful story and all the time and effort you put into this work of art.

With a contented smile on my face I say goodbye until next time.

Ugh this sucks, not the story, its great. But its like you just WONT let kagome be happy for once. Shit just keeps happening to her. Oh yea, how come sess never worried about her shorter life span? And when they were in the future, why didnt he show her affection sense he hadnt seen her in almost a century, i know she betrayed him but he still loved her right?

OMG. I have missed out on a lot! So glad I finally got the time to read it! This was beyond amazing! It made me go awww and cry and wow this really pulls on the heart strings. Sucks that Inu/Rin isn't gonna happen, or that Akira never existed. All in all this was fantastic.

Just so I know...I did hear that single spark is shutting down...so are you on any other sites so I can continue reading your yummy goodness?

*lower lip trembles, tears in her eyes* one more chapter....and then it's over!!!!!!!!!!!????? BUT! BUT!! I don't want it to end....it's just so wonderful and enjoyable.

Congratulations on your win! Of course, I voted for you because there aren't may darkfics out there that make me want to keep reading them, no matter what.
Fabulous chapter! It was so very sad. I really liked the reaction that you gave Sess when he saw his brother's body. A typical Sess behavior - being pissed off that his brother died in such a way. And it was sad seeing the doubt the he still has of Kagome, but then seeing how he worked through it was heartening. I don't really think that Sess should feel guilty over losing InuYasha, Akira, etc. At the time that he made the choice to treat Akira as a loved son, how could he have known what would happen? He is amazingly wonderful, but he is not all-knowing. But I guess he doesn't realize that, so it fits. :)
Sorry this review is rushed, but my job is killing me by inches. I must be off, but congrats again on your win, and I look forward to seeing hot this all ends. And then I will go withdrawal when there is no more of this story to read. :)

This is weird. I read this story about thirty minutes ago and reviewed, but when I reloaded the page, it was gone along with my review. So here is a new one. I don't want you to miss out.

This chapter proves to me why this is one of my favorite stories and definately deserving of FIRST PLACE! WooHoo! I had tears in my eyes from the start.

Can't wait for the ending . Until then...

Jenn,

Oh, this chapter HURTS! You've given a painful peek into Rin's turmoil and pain and I really did shed some tears. Then you put Sess through the gauntlet and actually may him CRY!

The marvel of your skill is that you've accomplished such a feat and actually made me really believe it is something he would do.

Yes, he would weep for Inuyasha. Especially if he felt as if he were responsible for his lost future.

I just hope he doesn't drown in guilt.

Wow, girl. Just frickin WOW. It's almost getting embarrassing how much I'm going on about your tale. Congrats on the getting best Darkfic award. You SOOOOOO deserve it! I just can't help it.

Well, I started and this story Saturday morning, and finished what you have the same evening. I really enjoy your writing style and the way you keep us guessing. A predictable plot line can be so booring, but just when things seem to be winding down, you always seemed to turn us in another unexpected direction. I am really impressed. Tell everyone that flames you for whatever reason to piss off. Its your story, and I like what you have made it. I dont usually like time travel fics, but you kept it simple, and let the characters and the plot drive the story instead of the time travel. I am looking forward to finishing it, hopefully sooned than later.

ok, i just want to say how amazing this story is before i go on. It is completely awesome...but.... I ALMOST THREW MY COMPUTER THROUGH A WALL BECAUSE I WAS SO MAD AT WHAT WAS HAPPENING!!!! Sorry, had to get that out, anyways, but seriously, that story is one heck of an emotional roller coster!!! One minute i'm crying, the next i'm laughing, and then i'm crying again. why did you have to kill Inuyasha? i mean, i know what he did, but still. everyone deserves a second chance.... wowzer!!! You are twisted....I love it!!!!! I hope you write some more stories after this one. It's absolutely amazing. oh, and can you add me to me to your notification list thingy. my email is lipanladyindian@yahoo.com. thanks a bunch.

3 , Sakura

P.S. Sorry about the ranting, i just was frustrated and need you to hear it....lol

this is the best fanfic I have read in
weeks, keep up the great work.

Lol, I love you! Well, your story (s) anyways, i must say that they are rather awesome. Though i am confused on some things... when kagome died she was in the future right, well future of the usual time (sengoku jidai) right? So when inu took her back through the well and they ended up in usual time the well just made them go there? So many things i don't understand...
Update soon plz! 3~

Not read your chapter? Please, don't be silly :) I'm stuck inside on a computer all day, so seeing your updates really makes my day. Alright, enough with the mush and on to the review. I found this chapter to be fascinating. I see Sess and his beast talking in many fics, but I don't think I've ever seen his beast not like Kagome. Usually the beast likes her before Sess does. And seeing memories of what will no longer be...was awesome. I was impressed by Sess' reaction...he was really affected by what he saw, but he reacted in typical Sess fashion in that he was very logical about it. It hadn't happened, so why should he throw out Kagome for something that hadn't happened in this time? And now no longer could because of InuYasha's death. And of course, he forces the submission of his beast in a very regal manner. I know I've said this before, but I really enjoy how you keep Sess in character. That adds so much to the story.
I look forward to what comes next! :)

o0o...so the cat's outta the bag. The question is, will Sesshoumaru tell Kagome?

awesome chapter!!

great weather??? what you talkin' 'bout?? Oh, wait....In Texas the weather always sucks! LOL.

for a second there I thought you were bringing Inupapa into the story! But I loved how Sess wrestled with himself and how he knew in the end, Kags is another source of strength, just like his youkai. THat was cool the way you resolved his conversation with his 'inner dog'.

Keep the storytelling greatness coming!!

Oh, and I sent you a message.

Amy, who at the moment very much hates being stuck in this crappy North Texas weather. (scowls and pouts)
mama-sama

That was wow for a sec i was afraid you would sess subdue 2 da beast request which wouldnt b 2 kool n my book im happy he didnt although i am curious did da beast do it 2 test him or what. Explanation required please, well that was a good chapter anyway u always write so well ur metaphors n comparisons r truly great itz like poetry n ur writing, well im beat so im gonna say goodnite n peace b with ya

Wow, I can't wait for the next chapter!!!
Hope all is well,
Chloe

I just started reading this story so I'm not very far in, but I wanted to leave a comment anyway. Your story is going great so far and I thing that it's one of the more complicated and thought out ones of all the other stories I've read. I'm just a little sad knowing that Kagome's going to die and Sesshomaru might too. Ah, well.
Hope all is well,
Chloe

You know, for a moment, I really did think that you would kill off Sesshoumaru! It's so rarely done and everything in your fic is so original...

Thank God you didn't. Inuyahsa was a given. I'm glad he found peace.

Now a lemon...hehehe. I hope you win...if not here then a Dokuga award. Good luck!

I can't even put into words how amazing this chapter was. For some reason, I kind of expected InuYasha to die, but I like that you gave him a death that 'fit' him, as weird as that sounds. So many authors give him an honorless death, and this gave him a peaceful end. He had succeeded in doing what he always wanted to do: making Kagome happy saving the man she loved, even if it wasn't him.
But I have to tell you, for me probably the most striking scene was right at the beginning, when Sess pulled off one last strike, and then Kouga watches as the great Taiyoukai falls. Literally gave me goosebumps. I loved this chapter. :)

aaawww, this was a very sad chapter. Whats going to happen to Rin since Inuyasha doesn't exist anymore?

Can I just say that your description of Sesshomaru doing the Dragon Strike gave me goose bumps??? Beautifully written!!

And Inuyasha!! WAIL!!! SOB!! OMG!!! My heart is broken into a million little bitty pieces! I am soooooo on the edge of my seat for the next chapter.

Seriously, this story kicks @ss!

Ooooh yeah! The fight scene was awesome! It was really cool, but besides the fight scene and all of its awesomeness... the entire chapter was great! I loved it! I'm ready for the next chapter now! Great, great job! Yayness!

Jenn!!!

OMG! My brain hurts! But WOW! well done! the whole thing with Akira is a bit heartwrenching. But sinse it never happened once she came back, er...well, did it happen? and does Kagome remember him? or only from the afterlife? Grrr! Great plot twist!

I'm so loving this battle scene and am anxious to see how it resolves.

But Inuyasha and Shizuka? ????

Inuyasha and RIn are much better but I know why you did things the way you did! So not the main focus of the story!

Once again, your fantastic gift for describing emotions and the intricate relationships of the characters is wonderful! I'm jealous of your ability!

Somehow I missed your last update!

This one is definately doing in a direction I couldn't have predicted. Wow!
I hope beyond hope for tha thappy ending you've been promising.

Again, what a great twist! I love it. Until next time...

Okay, it's a lot more clear to me now, especially with this chapter. During this action-packed scene (I seriously think I lost 5 pounds sweating in fear!) and her "amnesia" I guess we could call it, I realized Akira went *poof* and so did she, but in reverse. His non-existence makes me terribly sad, not really because his death wasn't honorable but because he had little redemption in life. I know he did what he could to make up for his mistake, but it still feels like such a waste. Ah, well, you have shown yourself to be quite the master of angst, so I'm not so much complaining as hailing your skills to spin my emotions on a dime. I know we're going to learn more about the repercussions of Sesshoumaru's choice, but I have one more annoying question before I read the tragedy for myself. Did he make his choices with the conscious effort to bring her back and change history? Or was the change in history an unknown side-effect of him being gentler and more fatherly to Akira? Or should I just shut up and wait for your updates? ^_~

I loved this chapter and am practically dangling from my seat in suspense for more.

Fabulous as usual! Those dang panther demons, always causing problems. Poor Akira, he had a rough life, then an improved life, and then he was just gone. Kind of sad, but at the same time there was really no other way. And I have to say that I miss the Rin/InuYasha romance. I just really like that pairing. And I completely forgot about how Inuyasha would no longer be a hanyou! That could have some interesting ramifications, that is if he shows up (which he will?). I'm so eager to see what you do with the next few chapters!

OK, my brain is officially fried!!! I am still trying to wrap my brain about the whole thing. Now I will be the first to admit that I'm Not the brightest bulb in the bunch, but that was totally confusing, but I think that I have it now(being that I went back and reread from the chapter30 about 5 times, no really!!) You know, after I put the aspirin away it seems to me that regardless of my confusion, that was really well thought out, and you had the nerve to leave us a ciffie.(you go girl) This fic just keeps on getting better. Now I'm not going to ask if Sesshoumaru's going to have his turn I the afterlife dream (oops, I just did, Sorry) I have TOTAL faith in the fact that You said that there was an HAPPY ENDDING. So no one should be to hurt coming out of this battle right? No missing arms or legs right? (looks up with big puppy dog eyes) OK well, I so looking forward to the next chapter, so until then, Best of Everything .

you got me on the edge of my friggin chair, worrying to death over Sesshoumaru! The poor guy just can't get a break and be left alone with his girl! *sigh*

It was beautifully written, but Kagome's return still confused me a little. Did she just *blink* back into the space/time continuum? When she woke in the morning, was that her return? I liked how you alluded to her afterlife observations as a dream in her waking state, that was a nice touch. This chapter was very heartbreaking and ended with a healthy dose of suspense, but (maybe I'm a little slow) I wouldn't mind a bit more of an explanation about *how* she came back. *_* With that and the battle looming, I can't wait for more!

Yay, she's back! I have to say though that it didn't quite have the cheerfulness that you would expect to have in the return of a formerly dead character. It was rather....bittersweet. I liked it, I think it had more of an effect that way. It brought home just how much damage you can do when you mess with time. But at the same time, why should Sess be punished if he finally learned to love and accept both of his sons? An interesting predicament. I look forward to seeing where you go with this. And I have complete faith in that you will give us a happy ending, which means you can't kill off Sesshoumaru, ya hear? :)
Until next time!

*gives a very cautious anime cheer and then frowns, rereading the last few paragraphs* i swear to God...i Sesshoumaru gets killed...there wil be pain! hehe but thank you for bringing Kags back!

Yays! Kagome is back!! It took me longer than it should have for me to understand what had happened in this chapter, but it's all right. I may just have had one of my slow moments lmao. It was an awesome chapter and I'm REALLY excited to read the next one!

-KB

OK, I did not know that you had posted some more chapters, I was still on chapter 28. I just happened to check to see if you updated, and looky looky what I found, 3 chapters had been written. I was in total shock because this is my most fav story right now (next to Volition of Honor, a must read). I just wanted you to know that I am super duper excited about kagome's return. I can't wait to see how you are going to pull this off. Please believe that I have all the confidants in you to make this happen. (waves keyboard in the air ) GO LANGUS GO LANGUS GO!!!

An update so quickly! This completely made my day. :) I think it's a good thing that Rin is leaving Akira behind. While Sess is very much the scariest thing to every walk the planet, he's a good father, and I think this time around he'll treat Akira the way he's meant to be treated. Hopefully. And I agree with you in that maybe third-party observation of the Sess and Akira would fit with the story better. And I cannot tell you how excited I am to see how you manage to return Kagome!
Until next time....

*has big anime tears in her eyes* you...you said that this chapter would be the return of Kagome...and you lied! *sobs* how could you!? *cheers up then* but thats ok, it was another awesome chapter

I actually cried at the end of this chapter...and I've only cried reading one other fic, ever! I definately need some Sess/Kag in the future. Hope it's romance and sweetness, but I can guess that won't be happening just yet.

If this story isn't already nominated for best angst, I'm doing it! Until next time...

update soon please this mess soooo needs fixing!!!!

great series

I can understand how this chapter would have been hard to write. Sesshoumaru has lost his mate and now Rin wants to leave as well. Everyone he has truly loved is leaving and yet he has to remain relatively in character. I don't envy you that. :) The explosion between Sess and InuYasha was fun though. I did like the return of the the old Sess - with what you wrote about how his gaze was calculating like before - fabulous. And now to find out how he and Akira get along.....
Well done and I look forward to the next chapter!

As always nicely written, you got Sesshou personality down packed. I could really see everything happening in a non fony kind of way. And im so happy you updated now i dnt have 2 form an anrgy mob. Lol jk. But nice chapter i cant wait 2 c Kagome back n da action again. Nice chapter again. Peace out

*still has the mob with her*now...i mean she comes back in flesh and blood not as a ghost or anything! hehe

could this get any better??? you are so creative and I LOVE how Sesshomaru's dark side came back with a vengeance! The bloody and agonizing pain he is experiencing seems to completely super-impose over his calculating anger toward Inuyasha and cold facade. You have so eloquently described his vulnerability while at the same time remaining true to his character.

I was also struck by how broken he seems over the real (or imagined) betrayal of those he holds most dear. My heart broke over how anguished and defeated he seems.

And, at the end of the chapter, when Inuyasha made that final "cryptic statement"....it sent shivers down my spine because I sense Sesshomaru will be blindsided by what his brother does. Just an educated guess!!

As always, fantastic, superb, magnificent job. I cannot wait for the next chapter of this story!

Amy (formerly smachit)

The beginning of this chapter made me want to cry and the end sent a chill though my heart. Is Sesshoumaru doomed to make the same mistakes for all eternity?

How will Kagome rescue her beloved mate? I can't wait to find out.

This was awesome, though I never thought of a Inu/Rin paring. I like it though. I hope that you don't over stress yourself too much. Remember deep breaths make a world of difference both in the real world and in writing. Well keep up the good work! Like always totally awesome!

I don't know how you're gonna do it, either (bringing Kags back) but dag nabbit, I have faith you'll figure it out! Still loving this story and please update soon!

this chapter is breathtaking. It was so raw and real and heartfelt. I got goosebumps. I don't think I've ever been as touched by a story as I have by this one. I am on pins and needles waiting to see how it ends. Keep up the AWESOME work!!!!

I ain't getting any sleep tonight because of this damn story!! I will be stumbling around like a zombie tomorrow because YEAH....this story is THAT good! One thing though, I again find myself in the annoying conundrum of getting into a really good fic that's not finished.....ah well, such is life. Splendid story so far! Keep it up!

I'm glad to see a new chapter! InuYasha and Rin....definitely works. I do wonder though about the fate of the baby. My feeling is that he should stay with Rin, but will Sess let him go since he's a part of Kagome? I really look forward to seeing the confrontation between Sess and InuYasha - could be explosive. :) I look forward to the next chapter - and yes, long chapters are best :) but I'll take whatever I can get. Good luck with your schoolwork!

Thank God this new chapter is out. I thought you might have fallen off the face of the Earth or something.

Oh, a new couple and new complications. And here I was all ready for the sweet reunion Sigh.

I love how you have Sesshoumaru looking to Kagome for guidance. He misses her so.

Great work as always. See you next time.

*leads a mod with torches and pitchforks* we demand that you bring Kagome back....I cant handle sad endings!

I have a question. Why is Sesshomaru acting like a stuck- up bitch? And how do you get a happy ending from this? It's a great story and I love it, I can't wait till you update again! But I also get curious.

Kega- From The Tashio Sisters

It really doesn't matter if the chapter is short, just as long as it's there. :) You did a great job of making Sess softer and more caring in regards to how he treats Ronin at the gravesite, yet you still keep him in character. Well done. I am excited to see how you bring Kag and Sess back together. I figure that time has already been messed with once, it could happen again - which means the possibilities are endless! I look forward to the next chapter!

*stands there with her sword* Oh it had better be lemony! *sigh* This chapter was good though....i just hate it when there's sad parts!

How many more chapters do I have to shed tears for? Awesome job on that chapter. That was sweet how Sesshoumaru picked up his son and told him that they will return tomorrow. ( insert sniffles) My oh my, please tell me that there will soon be some loving somewhere, weather it's Sesshoumaru and a not so dead Kagome or Rin and Inuyasha (i think that pairing could be hot) Please update soon, and don't forget to keep us on the edge of our seats!!! Later Days

WOW. Just... wow. This story holds so much more sway over me than your previous story. Not only that, but it just seems more.. possible? I have actually lost sleep over wanting to finish this story, and when I finished it I lost sleep over mulling over the events and feeling the emotions run over me again and again.

And the EMOTIONS you wrote! I mean, it was just incredible how I felt every single one each character felt; each chapter lifted or broke my spirits.

You write Sesshoumaru impeccably. This (as well as your previous story's Sesshoumaru) is the best written Sesshoumaru I've had the pleasure to come across since Tales of the House of the Moon.

And this story seems much more seamless--I have less questions after reading this story than I did the other story, which shows how much you've grown as a writer.

I am astonished and excited to find that this is incomplete, as I can hardly get it out of my thoughts. Wonderful work! Absolutely wonderful!

An older InuYasha! I liked how you wrote him - almost exactly as I would have pictured him at his more mature age. And the older and younger versions meeting over Kagome's body....very good way to meet. I do like the warning InuYasha gave Sess about how he should be nice to the kid. Makes me wonder if he said that before, or if this is the first time in the 'time arc' that he gave Sess a warning (cryptic as it is) over what may happen if he's mean to Akira. I look forward to the next chapter!

OH MY WORD. First I would like to say that I'm sorry for not reviewing sooner. I know that I have missed a couple of chapters, but I'm back now. Second, MY OMFG. How or maybe WHY, did you do that. NO NO I'm sorry, tears are getting away from me and I'm a bit emotional, my apologies. No really characters deaths aren't my fav, but Kagome's death brings her family together, and that was just one of those things that you where waiting for ( I know I was). Any-who, that was a damn good chapter, no GREAT chapter. One of your best. I totally believe that a happy ending is in here somewhere, I have total faith in you. I have been with you through INCOMPLETE and I'm going to see you through this. Fabulous job! Two thumbs way up! You Rock and all that good stuff. You have know idea how much I dig your story. Keep On Keeping On.
PS. You totally deserved that award!!!

I must say, I have absolutely no idea where you will take this story from here. No more guesses, I just have to wait in anticipation of your next chapter. What a tear-jerker this one was. Again I must say, I love your work. Keep it up!

if it doesnt include Kagome and Sesshoumaru, then no! *sniffles, still upset* i want the happy ending to be about them, finally being together and happy...not somebody else!

this was really good. i liked it a lot! well please keep up the good work and dont worry i'll protect you from the rock that are thrown your way! lol *takes out the katana*

*sniffles* you're so mean! that was a very sad, VERY sad chapter...but it was still very very good. please tell me it gets happy from here on out?

Buevo beautiful ending well semi-ending, funny i would believe if anyone killed Kagome in their story i would be ready to curse them 2 hell with a few creative words but thats not the case here. Somehow it fits and it doesnt leave the feeling of being Incomplete (wink that just fit so much) but really it speaks highly of your talents as a writer when you can kill Kagome without me feeling the need 2 form an angry mob lol well that was great, depressing but satisfying. Ta~ta

:::blinks teary eyes rapidly::::::

Wow. What to say after that? Even amidst the sadness, I giggled when Kagome kicked the sword away from Akira. Good stuff. It just makes me so sad, the time that was wasted between that whole family because of mistrust and pride and pain. How you write this gives me just glimpse here and there of what their lives could have been like had they trusted each other fully. And the end of this chapter was so bittersweet. Calm and peaceful, as it should be, but that final moment between Kagome and Sesshoumaru....was really beautiful. And I have faith in a happy ending! No really I do. Really. :)

im starting to feel deprived now...lol. where is the yummy goodness at!?

*just noticed in the disclaimer that it mentions major character death. Glaring, she pulls the sword out again* if kagome or sesshoumaru die....we're gonna have words!

so...the chapter with the biggest cliffy is for me!? Well, thats just mean,lol. Why cant the happy ending chapter be for me? *grumbles* but anyhow...nice little plot twist with Akira, I didnt see it coming!

Inuyasha is definatey redeeming himself. Now I'm rooting for a reunion!

I'm so glad you didn't make us wait for days before posting this! Fabulously written, as usual. I just knew Akira was Kagome's son! I want to say that Akira should be punished for what he's done, but I can honestly say that you've written him in such a way that i really can't be angry at him. He's had such a rough life, and Sess, even though he was hard on him in order to make him strong, was his normal close-mouthed self and did not reveal his true intentions. That's not to say that I don't think Akira doesn't need a kick in the pants, but I think Sess and Ronin should stand in line for a kick as well. And my heart just clenched in my chest when I got to the part that had Akira about to attack Sess and Sess just closed his eyes for a second. Good stuff there. Anyways, enough of my babbling and I so look forward to the next chapter! :)

That was so great ahhh my heart is pumping in excitment wow you really delivered when I asked for a quick update *takes deep breaths*wow that was really good I'm not even mad about the super mean cliffy but just dont leave me hanging ok I'm going to stop blabbing so ta~ta

*starts pacing with the sword, glaring at the fanfiction list* i dont see chapter 25! grrr....dont make me get sesshoumaru after ya

So, Sess is very scary. Good job with that. And what a cliffhanger! What is Akira's true reason behind wanting the sword? And I am looking forward to seeing how Sess reacts to InuYasha's news. So has Sess gotten over InuYasha's part in getting Kagome pregnant, because there is something about how if he killed this InuYasha, the InuYasha that he had come to respect would die as well. Interesting. I look forward to the next chapter! Oh, and a short update is absolutely better than no update at all. :)

Langus,
I read this story last year on ffn until the part where Sesshomaru is faced with the choice of letting Rin and InuYasha be together and I do not remember if that was the end or if Kagome was ever returned to her mate. Did you ever figure that part out? This story is one that has always captured my interest. Good Luck.

Alicia

You're breaking my heart! JK See you tomorrow.

i had an inkling that Akira wasn't all good....so maybe i was right,hehe. Im getting tired of waiting for the happy ending! lol

*pulls out a huge sword and waves it around* THAT'S IT! No more cliffy's! Do you hear me!? Bad Langus! Bad!

My heart aches for Sesshoumaru. I can't decide yet how mad I am at Inuyasha for ruining everything.

Kagome definately has her work cut out for her if she is going to turn it all around.
I'm thinking Sesshoumaru and Kagome won't reconcile until modern times, eh? I can't wait for the next update. Great job so far.

Thank you for the update you had me worried for a sec I thought you fell off the edge of the earth lol thankfully you didnt and you're back with a wonderful chapter that I must point out has ended in a cliffy *sigh* now if you don't update I'm afraid things might have to get ugly if you catch my drift. Sadly after my threat I must report that this chapter is great even with all it's cliffy glory well ta~ta

Its a good start hopefully you continue writing :)

*still holding the bazooka* I shall not put it away until I see a happy reunion between Sesshomaru and Kagome! *sigh* but I did like this chapter....

Bravissima! A wonderful chapter. I find it intriguing his reactions to his mother...the cat and mouse and the strong little mouse bested him. More importantly, he instinctively recognized her. Nicely played out. Equally thnak you for allowing Kagome strength of character in a very ticklish situation...*EP puts paddle away happily*

Wonderfully executed as always.

Thank you so much for the joy of your deft writing skills.

A shout-out to me! I LOVE it. Excellent chapter, can't wait for more Sesshomaru!

Yay for the update! I was just thinking yesterday that you hadn't updated for a little bit, and here it is! Gotta say that Kagome was pretty strong considering she was seeing her child again as a man, when she thought she'd never see him again.
I can't wait to see where you take this story. And I know I've said this before, but I really love this fic. You've got serious talent. :)

*Prepares Paddle*....it better be up tomorrow sometime or there will be grievous bodily harm in your future.

Signed

A Rather Miffed EP....who is taking an hour to read her favourites....bad bad Langus!

*pulls out her bazooka gun filled with tomatos and starts firing* NO MORE CLIFFYS! Jeez.... so evil....yet oh so good

Who could it be? My first thought was that it was Sess, but then maybe Ronin? I don't know. So I have a theory.....is Akira Kagome's second son? Except he's a hanyou, so that wouldn't be right. Gack, I don't know. If so, that's a fabulous way to put him in the story. If not, I'm dying to know where he came from and who exactly he is. Fabulous chapter as always, and I really like seeing InuYasha and Kagome working as a team again. It's comforting in a way. And for the next Inu/Sess altercation.....it's making me nervous just thinking about it, but I can't wait. I look forward to more!

Excellent chapter, humour, suspense and drama. A winning combo and as always...love the impending contratemp between the two main characters. Nicely done.

I'm a tad bit late sorry...but wow once again you hit one out the park and left a horrid cliffy in your wait *mumbles curses under breath* You can't leave it there hurry... write more it's an EMERGENCY! Ok now that the crazy urge to scream has been stated I will ask in a much more calmer voice. ~cough~ Please update soon. See ya ta-ta

I can't wait to see how she gets herself out of this one. Great chapter by the way. I was wondering when Sesshoumaru was going to come back into the picture.

are you kidding me?!! What a place to stop. I think I'm going to did from the anticipation!

a filler chapter!? oh now you're just being cruel! *cries* i have no patience!

I know you said you don't like this chapter, but it did answer a lot of questions that needed to be answered - and it didn't really read like filler, at least to me. The way you depict Kagome amazes me. No matter what happens to her or what InuYasha does to her, she still loves him as family. And that takes talent, to write her that way and make it believable, which you do. And yes, I do want to slap InuYasha upside the head so that he'd just tell Sess that she was drunk. :::shakes fist:::: Ah well, all in good time. :) I look forward to the next chapter!

When does Sesshoumaru realize everything? Haha, sorry. Just so impatient.

I am really confused, how could kagome be pregnant with Inuyasha's pup in this fic a squel to incomplete if Inuyasha's was miscaried in the last one and they have not been togather like that since the miscarriage happened?

The undertone of loving understand of myriad kinds is readily apparent in this chapter and you did a marvelous job in its depiction...thank you also...

Can now successfully breathe (wink). Keep going kiddo, you have a gift.

EP

Congades on being nomaited you so earned it with such awesome writing. Now to the story nice chapter i was kind of wondering what happened to the baby but i guess you'll get to that later, i feel bad for Kags she's been through so much at least she can still go home and thank you so much for letting me know that a happy ending is in the future whew that took a load off ta-ta

My faith in a happy ending is restored! Well, my faith was always there, I just like to be dramatic sometimes. I'm always thrilled to see an update because your chapters are so well done. Can't wait to see what happens next!

this is terrible! why do you keep doing this to the couple!? grrrr....inuyasha should have stepped in and said he took advantage because she was drunk!...but still....it was a good two chapters

This was a very emotion driven chapter and I felt a lump in my throat.

BAD LANGUS(wink)! For doing such an exceptional job. You have no idea. Your nomination is deserved!

EP

My heart literally hurts right now, and this is just fiction! Well done and well written, it was definitely worth the wait. I'm quite interested to see where the next chapter takes us, and if Kagome still dies or not, etc. Again, I put in my plea for a happy ending, because after all they've been through, they deserve something to go right. :) Until next time...

i have been reading this story from th begining but its my 1st time reviewing & all i can sya is OMG!!! there was so much angst inthis chapter. i also do no known who to feel more sorry for. me & my BFF was reading this chpater os slow cause we were so scared, we didnt know what was going to happen. i went through ever emotion when reading this chapter; sadness & shock beging the main 2.
well anyway keep up the good work, cant wiat til next chapter
syoze

Oh my god, this is by far the saddest thing I have every read. My fingers were bitting my hands while I was reading, it was so touching and heart breaking and so well written. Tell me a happy ending is looming in the future, but for now hurry hurry and update my heart is hanging from that cursed cliffy

No no no oh my aching breaking heart. I suspected it to be Inuyasha's pup but to actually read it is so bad please please Im begging for an update the suspense is killing me its just so awesome

I love ur work. I have sent the last 3 days readin both of ur stories & I just could not put it down. I am waitin as paitiently as I can 4 ur up date. Plz hurry lol. Lots of love & kutos hun, keep up the great work. :-D

Oh dear lord..NOT the fruit of SESSHOUMARU's fine loins.....Oh you have some serious splainin to do Lucy! Come on update soon or there is a spanking soon!

EP

Holy craptastic, Batman! Scary. Being on the receiving end of Sess after he found out the child wasn't his....no thank you. And I do hope that this cliffhanger means you're going to update soon, right? Cuz that would just be mean. :) Well done, as always.
Happy ending, right? Right? If there's not, I'm going to pull out my inner drama queen and just go crazy. You are warned. :)

OMG, I can't believe you did that. The pup is Inuyasha's. OMG, please tell me I'm wrong. That was a dream right. Though I have to admit, that was one hell of a cliffhanger, but I CAN'T BELEIVE YOU DID THAT!!!!! Update soon, great f*cking chapter!!

Hello my friend. Hope all is well with you and you had a good holiday season. It has been awhile, ne? I, too, have been online alot less. My health has forced me to go back on morphine to tolerate the pain and though I promised myself I wasn't going to give in to the pain and let morphine back into my life, well, ...but I'm ok . I tend to sleep alot more so I don't keep up with all my fics like I used to. I saw this one tonight and I knew if I read it I was in for a tearfilled time but this fic is a favorite burned into my heart. You have done so beautifully with this and every chance I get I will praise you on a job well done. I just hope that there are others now who are finding this fic as I did one lonely night and have gotten addicted to it's storyline. I'm glad you are back and as always, I will be keeping an eye out for updates. Love, gentle hugs and kisses, Jen

I really really hate angst stories but itz weird cuz i luv yours well i just have to say i know it'll be inuyashas baby but please let it have a happy ending i dont know if my little heart can take it

I'm so glad to see you back! Even if this chapter is not really a happy one, LOL. :) As always, your writing sucks me in to the story to where I can almost see everything happen. Well done, and I look forward to more!

yay! They're back and happy again....but the question is, will he find out about inuyasha? i hope not.

Great chapter, but I wonder why Kagome isn't considering what happens when she gets pregnant a second time. Granted, if I had Sesshoumaru naked in front of me, I probably wouldn't be concerned about my imminent death either. Still, the happy expectation might be there now, but how will she react when she really does conceive? And thinking back to what happened with Inuyasha...well...that might be some angst waiting to happen...

Now that I think about it, Akira said it was her second son that she died shortly after giving birth to...maybe that's not her second pregnancy? Anyhoo, that'll work itself out as I read, ne? I'm just glad Sesshoumaru and Kagome found their way back to each other emotionally. I loved that you made their reunion intimate and tender, almost cloistered, as it didn't need to be a dramatic thing. This take was much more real. I hope from now on she's more supportive of him, even though she knows that his wars are misguided and will eventually tear their kingdom apart. This is a very heart-rending story, but I'm enjoying it. Keep it up!

That was a really great chapter... though I had to read it during school. ... Dangit, lunch is over -_-

BUT ANYWAY! Awesome chapter as always !!!

-KB

Aww, man. I was actually looking for Sesshomaru to be in this one. BUT! All is well, as long as Inuyasha made an appearance... I think it's kind of messed up though that Kagome doesn't remember. I wonder when Inuyasha is going to tell her...

Great chapter! ^__^

-KB

Interesting. What will InuYasha do? You've certainly put him in an interesting spot. :) And now one questions just how quickly Sess will come home and how good his sense of smell is and if Kag gets pregnant from InuYasha and what Sess does and on and on. Scary. I can't wait for the next chapter! :)

Infidelity is a difficult subject for authors to touch on and still retain originality of the work. Usually the story will fall along a cliche cycle and it'll be full of angst and blame and everyone hating each other, abandoning each other. I sincerely hope something reasonable will come from these two betraying the other. How did the two drift so far apart anyway? I love this story, by the way. I wonder if Kagome will go to the future - not her time ; the other one - again.

As a general rule, Angst is sooooooo not me, and I tend to avoid it like the plague, but for a few key authors.. You are one of them. Keep up the exceptional work. Not to mention you are a fellow Canuck Woohoo!

EP

I loved this chapter, and since I'm not a huge one for angst, that's saying something. I do hope that Kagome doesn't get pregnant by InuYasha, and then Sess kills her or something along those lines. They've been through so much, both in Incomplete and in this story, and I don't want them to break, if that makes sense. Quick question though, do you know about how long this story will be? And I'm sending another plea for a happy ending. Please? Pretty please?::::blinks big glistening anime eyes:::::::
I look forward to the next chapter!

I enjoyed catching up on the chapters I had to read. I was excited seeing that you updated. I hope you do so again soon! ^__^

-KB

oh dear, that can't be good! I can't wait for the next chapter... although I hope what I think will happen doesn't :(

Wow. That's not going to end pretty. Everyone has their faults but someone's going to be loaded with all the blame. Not going to be a pretty reaction at all.

Hey, girl, thanks for the new update. I've been down a few days, new pain meds and all, so this is a welcomed relief for me. Something else to keep my mind off the effects of the new drug. I know where this next chapter is heading and I'll be sure to go buy plenty of tissues. I honestly can't wait to see what kind of ending it'll bring. You are doing such a wonderful job with this and the angst is fantastic. Love ya, JEN

Excellent as usual. And since there's a happy ending, I guess I'll let the dark stuff pass. :)
'Til next time!

That's an ominous foreshadowing. I'm a little hesitant about what might happen next; a little frightened by the implications left by Sesshoumaru, but I do anticipate the next chapter. I will definitely follow this fic through. ^^

Masterful as always.

EP

Well, I wasn't able to read it earlier the first time... but after I got some good news, I was able to jump on the, "Let's read fanfiction" band wagon and finally read this chapter. lol. As always, awesome job! ^_^

-KB

Well, now I have tons of thoughts in my head as to what exactly happens to drive Sess and Kagome apart. And can the future be changed? Turning InuYasha back into a hanyou was a good touch, makes you wonder just what all that sword is capable of. Will this have a happy ending?
Excellent chapter as always, and I really look forward to more!

Just a quick note to say that I've looked at the hits where people read and this fic must be really good if that many are actually reading. Come on people, give a girl a break. What's so hard to just let her know if you liked the fic and if she's doing a good job as a writer. We're going to lose alot of talented writers and entertaining fics if you all don't just take the time to let them know they are appreciated. Anyway, my friend, I am at the point in this fic where the tears have started. And I just know it gets more intense from here on but more riveting that you just can't wait to see what happens next. Thanks for the update and I'll be back hopefully for the next when it's up. I'm going through the chronic fatigue part of the Fibromyalgia and Doc wants to change some of my meds to help with the pain so I may be a little late in reviewing. JEN

Just finished reading the latest chapter, and I am pulling my hair out. I swear you and these damn cliffs are going to make sure I am left with little or no hair. I truly through am really loving this fic. Sesshoumaru is an ass, but I'm just just hoping Kagome get to slap some sense into that damn dog (being that she is the only one that can get away with that sort of thing) Thanks for updating. Can't wait til next chapter.

I very much enjoyed this chapter, even though at the same time I wanted to slap Sess silly. Your portrayal of him was excellent, just how I would imagine him to be in those circumstances. I look forward to reading the rest soon, and I am so glad you decided to keep going with this story!

Woah... I mean that was so wicked. I was like.. 0__0. That was a amazing chapter and this story excites me every time.

-KB

WHAAAAA! I wait so long for this chapter and you leave me with a cliffhanger! T_T!

I need to know what happens! lol Please update soon ^^

This is really great so far =D I especially like that Inuyasha is able to redeem himself... even though he and Kagome did make amends in Incomplete, I always felt he never really made it up to her.
And what is Sesshou doing with his sword? -hmmm- I hope you update soon!

Horrible cliffie indeed! But I'm thrilled with the update and I remain hooked to the story. Excellent job as usual -- you never let me down! :)

Thanks for the shout out, you certainly have my support on t this fic, it is awesome, as you are. The ciffhanger is great , keep them coming. I can't wait til the next chapter. I was so hoping to see something from you soon. Thanks for the update, and once agin YOU ROCK!!!

Man, was that chapter awesome. I was up at like 6 15 this morning reading it while eating my cereal and was LEANING into the computer lol. It was really great!

-KB

Ok, ok, more, more. You left it right at the good part. Please don't wait too long to put up another chapter. And I am glad that I can be some sort of encouragement to you. You really do have a great fic here and it's just sad that more people read without reviewing but don't let that ever get you down. I'll be here and wherever else you write because I do know talent when I see it. Love ya!!! JEN

I like it just fine, small parts have me wishing that the story will will get on with it, but I guess every story has these slow parts from time to time. anyway keep up the good work. I really am loving this story.

Hi, my friend. Have no worries over the fic. This and "Incomplete" are totally rockin'. You have a few reviewers that I am relly familiar with and if they like it, well, you've got a hit. I am really picking up things alot easier now and I like the flow, characters and storyline. You've got what it takes to make a good fic. I usually give a fic 3 to 5 chapters to pick up and this being a sequel already had me curious, so it's all good. As for the site, I'm not a writer but I've noticed a whole lot more difficulty with getting onto the site. I'm guessing that everyone loves the site so much that they're constantly in busy mode. Any way, thanks for the new update and I'll be waiting for more. Hugs, JEN

Personally, I have enjoyed this story so far. I really liked "Incomplete" so I was thrilled to see the sequel. I'm not too concerned with the lack of a lot of action so far because some stories just need the extra time to set up the background and the foundation. It sounds like there's some action coming up here pretty soon. :) So don't stress about it, and keep writing the story how you feel it should be written. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more! But if Kagome does end up dying, I'm going to whine and cry, so fair warning.

I've finally had enough time and op to have the pleasure of reading the first six chapters! AWESOME! Truly. Awww Yasha has a swwwwwweeeeeeeeeetie. It keeps me coming back for more. You are a story teller. Brava! And yes, god bless civic holidays lol.

Hey there Langus...You're doing great. I'm so glad to see that some others are finally reading and reviewing. You are just so talented and these two fics are sooo dramatic that they deserve to be enjoyed by many. I'm totally loving the time I'm taking with re reading this. When one stays up for 10 hours you can miss some things. Take care and I hope after you complete this fic you'll write another. You definitely have what it takes to tell a good story. Hugs, Jen

LOVING IT, LOVING IT. Please continue updating.

This is one hell of a fic, Thank You, Thank You, THANK YOU, For writing such a great fic. You have me on pins and needles with this fic. Even through you only have this two fics you (alone with a few others) are one of my favorites. You are so awesome. I really love the way you portray Kagome in your fics, she not some all powerful miko but her soul is stronger then most. She's the girl we all know and love in the Anime, and I Thank You for that. YOU SO ROCK!!!

Woot! That's awesome! Evil cliffy though! Loved it! ^__^

-KB

ah poo. you haaaaaaaaaad to end it there didn't you? grrrrrrrrrr

wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! KAGOME'S GONNA DIE!! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Langus please have Kagome cuse the hell outta of Sesshomaru when he gets home. I love the fic please oh please write more!!!!

I'm loving this story so far! I also love Akira, he sounds like a cutie and he's so sweet in his reverence of Kags, Sessh and Inu. I'm praying and hopin' that he doesn't turn out to be evil or hurt kags in some way. I know I'm being a bit...angsty(?) but I really want to keep liking him!!!

I'm also dreading on who it is that will die. I usually cant read death fics but I can always hope that it want be kags, sess or inu, right?

Lol, Again, wonderful job!!
Ezzy

I had to catch up on the second chapter. I didn't want to get behind so soon. Great chapters!

-KB

This story is very good so far. :) I'm glad to see Inuyasha with someone, though it's sad that he doesn't care for her perhaps as much as he should. I am glad to see interaction between Kags and Inu, though.

I like! I like! Is Akira by any chance Kagome's second son?

And now to wait for the signs that he's a hanyou, and the scene where Kagome(or Sesshy) names her second son Akira? XD

Hey, I remember the first time I read this I stayed up for like 10 hours straight because it kept me on edge and I couldn't put it down. This time I'm going to read it as you write it and see if I missed anything. I'll be looking forward to each update. Jen

A great beginning once again as usual. Looking forward to the rest of the fic.

yaaaayayayay!!!!You're sequel is here. Oh, I can't wait to read this here and see the reviews. This is an awesome fic here folks. Stick through it until it's end. Now this is a special ride you won't want to miss. Great beginning, Langus. Love ya! Hugs...Jen

\(^o^)/

Yea! Incomplete has a sequel! And it's been posted!
^_~
Loved your last story and I love this one so far.
Looking forward to the next update.
