I really like this story alot. Can you please write some more chapters?

OK, I read Ch. 6 again, and I think I can be clearer this time than what I wrote in the last review of this chapter. This is a beautiful story, by the way. I hope my last long comment wasn't cold and clinical sounding. I don't mean to say that this chapter isn't interesting. In fact, the first half of the chapter kept me glued in front of the computer screen! But the second half is a little long, and if you compare the two halves, little happens and the conversations seem a little less interesting when they take up that much space and end the chapter. It would be different if these were major events in the story, but they aren't, even though they are important to the plot. So, keep on! I can't wait to see what happens with the couple next, and what will Inuyasha do?

Some important things happened in this chapter. Kagome finally told Inuyasha that she loves Sesshoumaru, and Rin let her feelings about Kohaku become known. There were some nice situations and dialogue. But be careful. I read your first story that paired Kagome with Kouga, which had a lot of chapters with detailed descriptions of mundane daily life. Overall, the story was not very exciting because it seemed to stay still, and lacked direction much of the time. This story has been much more interesting, but don't fill it with lots of chapters like this chapter. Maybe you have a direction you are working in, but it isn't obvious to me. It's good to read the update, and I look forward to your next chapter.

Hi, great chapter. I relly like how you manage to keep all the characters true to the manga.
Another thing I like about your story is the fact that you don´t make Inuyasha a villain to justify the reletionship between Kagome and sesshoumaru.
Inuyasha is gruff, brash, often dense but funny, sweet and caring. He really cares for Kagome and it´s obvious that he would not take well the fact that Kagome now loves his brother. I have the feeling that he will not give up on Kagome so easily.
Also, I can really see Kagome telling everyone the truth, for she is someone that listen to and follows her heart and she could not live in lies. I think that´s the motive that made her give Sesshoumaru a chance to explain why he left her alone in the first place and made her choose to go with him.
It´s a good thing too, because while he slowly reverts back to the "Lord of the West", she gets a chance to gradually better undertand and accept his true personality, letting her fears and insecurities fade away. After all, he is not that cold; he risked his own life to bring Rin back from the hell.
It´s important too that she is very open with him, telling him the truth about the facts that brought them together, her feelings and her worries regarding his recovery that he will abandon her. It can be very important for them to remain together after he recovers his memory back.
Anyway, great work and till next chapter.

I am a total Sess-Kag enthusiast, and I have read soooo many stories out there. I really love your story because it is well-written without grammatical problems, flows well without leaving important info out, and includes a lot of subtle nuances and humor about the situations. I also read your Choices, Choices on Mediaminer. Why haven't you put it here? I really love that story too. It has even more nuances about contemporary dating situations and has a very modern feel for a savvy, well-educated female Kagome. I love it!

Hi, great chapter.
It was nicely portrayed the conflict within Kagome regarding her feelings for Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru. It makes sense that when somebody expects more in a relationship for so long as she has with Inuyasha, as time goes by she becomes somewhat tired of waiting and her own insecurities begin to grow.
Thus, any novelty that may occur, as all the open appreciation and loving care showed By Sesshoumaru for her, is very welcome and exciting.
It seems to me that Sesshoumaru is slowly but steadily returning to his old self, albeit unconsciously, and his fears about hurting Kagome are very endearing.
In my opinion, his memory loss didn´t change his character that much, but made him more open to the people he cares for; so, it´s natural that, with his recovery, he becomes gradually the same as before, but hopefully his time with Kagome changes him enough for all the ice to melt.
Keep up with the good work and till next time.

Hello, I came check on your profile and found an update! This is a great story. You know, I also think Sesshoumaru is more a wanderer than a lord of a castle. In the manga when he seeks his mother, even Jaken didn´t knew her, and Jaken follows him a long time! Anyway, I hope when Sesshoumaru regains his memory he didn´t hurt Kagome. I think his feelins for her are true and i wonder if perhaps he felt some attraction for her before and didn´t act on this before because of his brother?
I like the way you write and keep the story real to the manga and I relly don´t think Sesshoumaru so out of character either, after all he lost his memory and it can make people act more freely, without the restrictions that they are trained for.
The conflict within Kagome is greatly portrayed too, I can totally see her torn between her decisions and her fear that when Sesshoumaru recovers his memories he leaves her behind without second thoughts.
Anyway, great job and I can´t wait for another update. Bye

How in God's creation did I miss this chapter?? I was out of town for a week and lo, one of my favorite fics is updated. Dare I say, this story just keeps getting better and better. I read this chapter twice in one sitting just because I loved it so much.

You do a great job of explaining Kagome's denial concerning both her burgeoning feelings and the validity of Sesshoumaru's feelings considering his amnesia. Still, that poor girl can't get a break when it comes to self-image problems, can she? Naturally, as is the true nature of her character, she assumes the guilt and convinces herself Sesshoumaru's feelings couldn't possibly be true, if only to shield the hurt of his eventual rejection. You make it uniquely possible to really, honestly feel for Kagome in this predicament.

As for Sesshoumaru, I feel for him, too. You've managed to turn such an enigmatic character into someone starkly sympathetic and easy to relate to. His actions are still in character to me, because regardless of his new proclivity to appease and apologize, he's still a quiet man for the most part, soft-spoken, even when he's painfully blunt. His inherent strength and confident elegance is still apparent, too, even during his tender moments. It's very easy for me to picture this as a natural side to Sesshoumaru that he'd perhaps been taught to suppress.

As for the Triangle, I feel like my heart is playing a game of Twister. I want to leap on every dot all at once because they're all deserving. No matter Inuyasha's fearful hesitation, he really does love her, and since this is obviously a SK fic, my heart breaks for him, because he deserves to find some happiness. Still, all three are going to be pushed and pulled in this situation.

Wow... apparently, I'm writing a thesis paper on this chapter, because this is a long ass review! Hopefully you can tell that I adore this story and hope you continue soon!! Amazing stuff! My heart is fluttering all over that Twister mat!

I loved what I read so far and can't wait for the nest chapter.

I am tempted to say Sesshomaru is acting too OOC even though he has amnesia, but I won't. Why? Because he's so... adorable. (Hmm, can he even be described as that?) The way he's trying to figure out things, remember other things, and how he's treating Kagome is fun to read. And how Kagome is reacting to this is quite funny in a way, and I like that she was straightforward with him as well instead of trying to mold him into a 'better' Sesshomaru. Good job.

There was a mistake you made in using a wrong word. When Kagome snuggled in his lap, you wrote she "sighed in contempt." I believe you meant to use "content" or "contentment", because 'contempt' means 'the feeling that a person or thing is beneath consideration; worthless'. So, obviously I think you didn't mean to use contempt.

The other thing I noticed is that some of the paragraphs are too long/big. You need to know when to separate the group of sentences so they don't look too bunched up. It breaks up the flow of the chapter when they're crammed into one big paragraph. If you want, I could help you and give you some pointers on to know where to separate your paragraphs. I left you my email if you do take up my offer/suggestion. If not, good luck on your writing.

Update soon, because I do want to know what Sesshomaru said to his little group that had them acting differently to Kagome at the end of the chapter. So I look forward to your next update.

You have outdone yourself already with this second chapter. The way you handled Kags confusion and Sesshy's 'hurt,' was nothing short of masterful. You've done an excellent job of setting them up for their inevitable (I hope!) relationship.

In addition, you've injected Inu's worry, along with that of her friends, letting us all know that there will be MAJOR consequences sooner or later. Everything is following logically and, in my opinion, quite smoothly. Once again, KUDOS, m'dear!
:D

P.S. I can hardly wait to see what happens next... but am resolved to do so as patiently as possible!!

What a beautifully tender story! It's a breath of fresh air as it's not terribly rife with angst or lengthy battles. I enjoy both, believe me, but it's nice to find a fic that circles around something gentler. I like your take on Sesshoumaru's amnesia and his caring for Kagome. Methinks perhaps he cared for her before the amnesia, but his situation prevented him from doing anything about it. Ah, the mix-ups! I can't wait to read more of this fic. Great stuff so far!

Wow!!! This is TERRIFIC! What a start! Great premise, not too overdone, excellent portrayal of the confusion that both Sesshoumaru and his companions would feel should he lose his memory like that.

As for the mechanics... it is rare that I find things this well written and rarer still that I actually vote on grammar and the rest. As such, I have to give you the highest marks, KUDOS!!

I am eagerly looking forward to seeing where you take this from here. I would imagine, given the length of your first chapter, it might take a while for us to see more, but I will consider any subsequent chapters WELL worth the wait! Thank you for feeding my obsession with this pairing in such an interesting, intriguing fashion!
:D

Oh, I love this. It is a romanticized idea that has me hooked.

Oh, I like this already. Great plot... PLOT... this story has plot and grammar and excellent spelling. I want to cry -- tears of joy, mind you. Keep up the good work and I'll be watching!
