ok this story just got intensely real for me even though many elements are decidedly fantasy.

This chapter in particular spurred my brain into asking myself the following ;  

Should one be able to share anything with one's spouse ? YES !

Should one have to share everything with one's spouse ? NO !

Should you share something you know will be to the detriment of your relationship ? Maybe.  

high hopes for the upcoming buildup climax and resolution. 

I really liked mothers answers to Sesshomaru though. Exactly what he needed to hear given the turmoil. 

One hell of a chapter ! I just loved it. What an unveiling =) bravo bravo 

I don't know how Sesshomaru is able to cope.  I'd be asking them to clear my 'programming'.

Wonderful sad chapter. Why would she want that jerk when she has Seesh? That explains a lot of her issues. But dang girl! You got the better part of that deal. He will find a way. 

WOW! Such a great story!

To start this is a wonderful story and idea and I can't wait for the future chapters. With that said, the more I read it, the more I just want to shake Kagome. Whether she got what she was expecting or not, she made zero prepartions for a husband, so all the heavy lifting to make the marriage work feels like its on Sesshomaru's shoulders. She dismissed and insulted his feelings when he tried to make her feel better, she didn't deal with her feelings on her ex, told no one she ordered a husband, and then has the nerve to be disappointed when Sesshoumaru doesn't speak what's on his mind after dealing with the chaos she put him in due to all of that. I hope someone or something gives her a reality check so she can do some serious introspecting. 

So sad but understanding what happened is vital but overcoming the fact will make him stronger for his marriage and be the champion Kagome needs that will strengthen the love they don't know is there.

Mother!? 

This is certainly interesting! Not sure if you are a gamer but if you have played Detroit becomes human the idea of AI (Androids) having full blown human emotions was the centerpiece of decisions you made in the game. Sesshoumarus character is like the 3 protagonist where it seems like a struggle to decipher if his emotions are real or programmed! But in a different way. He is the "perfect" husband and made specifically for Kagome. His feelings would not-to my understanding-stray from her in any circumstance. Which logically for Kagome is always in the back of her mind...anyway I did all that rambling to say that I look forward to the next installment and thoroughly enjoy your writing. 

Thank you! 

Ouch, poor Sesshomaru...Kagome is certainly behaving as if he is simply a function of his programming.   Some celebration they had.  On top of the insecurities of the 'secret' marriage he isn't wrong to think he's not entirely wanted after all these revelations. 

Ohhh...this is an interesting bit at the end. That chapter was so good. Poor Seeshomaru, he is quite real despite what they think. Kagome needs to be more conscious of what she says to him. 

Oh shit.......  This was an awesome chapter loved it..   Made up for the cliffy....  Anyways, I'm glad Sesshomaru told the couple off they deserved it.  I fear what the couple said about Sesshomaru and what Kagome may think that Sesshomaru is programmed to say what he does instead of having his own concious thought...  Hurt him deeper than he lets on.  I think Sesshomaru has concious thought and a soul even if he were made.  Now he found out where his looks came from but I wonder what he intends to do about it?  And who is mother?

My heart is about to burst, I don't even want to know what is going through Sesshoumaru's head right now. Finding out that he was/is a character in one of her novels, or that she accidently sent his character profile instead of the actual made to order husband. 

Another one of your great works, thank you for the update!!!

XOXOXOX

Such a rich story.   Can't wait to see where it goes.  Kinda hoping mama H throws out the rude 'guests'.  Haha

THIS IS SO SO GOOD!!! Ugh the tension! The insecurities on BOTH sides! Just the concept alone is killer like this could genuinely be a book i pick up at the shops. Such a strong premise with such a vibrant writing style...bravo!!!! I cant wait to see where this leads!!!

I loved this chapter and knew Kikyo would be a bitch and ruin Kagome and Sesshomaru's welcoming dinner....  Oh man I'd slap the bitch and toss them out right there...  No good conieving self rightous bigots they need to be taught a lesson.  Though Kagome being once engaged to Suikotsu is not all that surprising.  Can't wait to read more this is too good.

Meow!! Break out those claws! But I do love a catty Kikyo that gets hers in the end. Can't wait to see where this goes. 

The suspense is killing me. You're a very good writer and I like your story.

Time to meet the fam

I love the progress they're making with building emotional, physical, and mental intimacy between them. Hope it continues!
