I love this! It gave me chills, tears and warm fuzzies! I like a good ghost story and you did so well on it. Keep up the wonderful work, MissTeak. I always lok forward to your writing!
And here we go again, for chapter 2.
Once again honey, I know I say this a lot, but your writing is one of the most amazing I have ever read in my life. You have a gift with words, and there is no other way to put it. Everything you write just is amazing, like a river flowing. You just know what's right, and in this chapter, you picked the right words to make the string in my heart go on and echo forever. Especially the pain, and the love. I could feel it come through my laptop screen, and reach out to me.
When I saw they were together again, I couldn't have been happier my love. I mean, I am forever rotting for them after all. *Is rotting the right word? I dont think so, forgive me my love, lol. I'm a frenchie* Anywho, although I found it strange, I thought maybe you know the news hadn't reached him right, and that she had survived the accident.
Of course, you left little hints along the way, and I began to doubt that. The way she wasn't with him when people were around, or they were outside, or how she didn't want to talk to him in public. I felt through your words the loneliness Sesshomaru felt because of that just broke my heart to pieces. Poor him, and yet he loved her so much, and was so happy to have her back in his life that he was willing to accept things as they were, even though he wasn't given an explanation.
And the way we didn't get much of Kagome's perspective was absolutely perfect, because it left the mystery, and technically guilt, and death were eating her up, so obviously without revealing anything, we couldn't get her way of thinking, but that only made the story better, my love.
When Sesshomaru saw her cut bloody face, the way your gift of words came into play there was perfect. I saw the image so clearly in my mind because of how you described it, that I was scared. I swear. And Sesshomaru was very good to remain collected after seeing such a sight. The way you described his blood freezing, lol *you get what I mean*, I found my self shivering dear.
And then the final. Kagome's dead, and he learns about it. I think he knew, but he didn't want to accept it, and I read your note at the end, how you say it couldn't be HAPPY in terms of normal happy, and I agree with you. BUT this is more beautiful than if they had lived. They didn't need to breathe, and be alive to know they had to be together, to love each other. If in death was the only way they could remain together in love, then so be it. I think you captured that moment perfectly.
And Kagome who was selfless in all of this. She remained because he needed her, but she wanted to leave because her presence was killing him. SPOT ON!
In all and all, this was absolutely amazing, perfect, and it took my breath away, pretty much like all of your work, please never stop writing my love! I'll always be there to read your work!
Madison (Chapter 1) - Mon 19 Apr 2010
You know what? I thought I reviewed because I took notes while writing, and well, I saved them on the computer, and like an idiot, I thought I posted my reviews with the notes, but apparently I didn't. Gosh I feel so bad because I just totally love this story hun! It's too perfect for it's own good. I'm gonna have two reviews, one for each chapter!
CHAPTER 1!
Alright, I had a preview of this, and honestly, I thought it was going to be one chapter, so from the start, I'd like to say I'm relieved its two chapters, although I would wish for it to go forever, even though it technically can't, but that's how amazing your writing is.
Every time, you write in a different style that is appropriate for the story, and it makes it even more amazing. The flow, the choices of words, everything is just right. You my dear, always know how to set the mood with your writing, I tell ya. You suck me right in with every story you write :3
At first like I mentioned, I didn't know what this was going to be about, so of course, I didn't know what the legend was, or where this was heading. Perhaps it made the experience even better. At first, Sesshomaru seemed lonely, and his whole kinda of relationship with Kagome made me sad. BUT THEN! It happened.
Frick, HE comes along, and tell Sesshomaru that Kagome died. I swear at that moment, my heart shattered, and the way you described Sesshomaru's reaction was spot on my dear. Especially how he loved her. HE LOVED her so much, he would prefer her with another man than dead. He wasn't selfish in his love, you know. He'd rather she live happy than die his. The way you wrote it, I wanted to come up and hug him.
But then, once again, you surprised me. When he got the email from Kagome, I swear my heart stopped beating hun. I was confused as hell, and I couldn't figure out if she was dead or alive, lol. I was scared in a way, thinking... she's a ghost with internet... not possible. SHE HAS to be alive, because THEY HAVE to be together you know.
Im glad it didn't end there, phewww. BUT gosh. Still, it would have been breathtaking!
I just--.. wow. I don't even know what to say. So many emotions @,@ I knew she was dead! BUT.. right now I'm a bit @,@ scared so I'm just gonna make this one short. AMAZING! thxkbai c; I LOVE YOUR STORIES!!!! WOOOOO ::groopie faint::
OH.MY.GOODNESS!!!. @,@!!!! Yes.. I must read your new stories! I thirst for your skillz, Teak-chan! ANYWHO! Onto the story of which this review is for, of which I r reading!!!!!!!! FIRST OFF.. the title.. SO GOOD! It just fits it so well and it's so inviting! I LOVE IT! Second of all... !!!!! The story itself and the history behind it and whatnot! So amazing! You just think of the most out of the box ideas for a fic and they just bloom into something incredible! It's just.. WOW! Third of all! The story from beginning to the end of the first chapter was just so awesome! All the emotions that just radiate off of the text is so.. I can't think of a good word that I haven't used yet but it's so good! (lol.. yes I r obsessed w/your stories/writting skills. I've never come across anything like them plz don't file me for stalker abuse or something like that @,@)
So yeah! Like I was saying, the emotions! The way it was so smooth in the beginning I started to feel happy for them and whatnot about how good things seemed to have been going and then when he had to go back I kinda got sad but then hopeful because they still kept in touch through e-mails, pictures, and phone calls. It was just so romantic. THEN! How it turned for the worst! My feels just dropped and it wasn't just like a sudden drop it was just gradual! Like, I could feel what Sesshoumaru was feeling just from reading the text. Then it was hopeful again when he just looked forward to her returning to Japan and whatnot but when he got to the party......... when the friend told him about her dying.... well, before I thought, "Oh noes this is the guy that she's with now!" Then it just did a 360 on me and just stunned me! NEVER had it crossed my mind that she would be dead! When Sesshoumaru found out about it, it was as much of a shock as it was for him! It was just... UGH! It literally felt as though the air had been sucked out of me when he'd said she died and then I had to just instinctively intake a quick breath of air! It was just so amazing. Then I almost let out a tear or two ¬¬ ^-^;;. But yeah, and THEN! When she just out of no where e-mails him.. I could FEEL the chill go up my spine and I just shuddered at how creepy that was. Even more so when she actually appreared to him! And you know how much of a fraidy cat I am @,@
So now when she's just made all the sense about how she's not really dead and stuff and her story it's just so logical I see how Sesshoumaru would think it's real but then again.. I remembered this was a story for the 100 ghost story challanges ;-; so it frightens me a bit to click onto the next chapter but I SHALL! I r... your dedicated reader of course ^-^ so here I go! ::takes teh blanky and holds it tight::!!
Sad but lovely and romantic nonetheless. You handled it very well. :)
Love conquers all, even death. Tragically beautiful.
How do I review this? Again! You've got me crying my heart out. It was hard to read because of the tears, but...it's a beautiful love story. We aren't supposed to understand how he was able to touch her, but if I may, I believe he wanted to be with her so badly that when she appeared before him he wanted to hold her and touch her as much as she did and so, it happened because they believed.
You did an amazing job with this, as you do with all the stories you write. JEN
So very sad, but so very beautiful. Wonderful job.
I'm a big fan of the original story and you've done a very credible take on it. Marvelous job! I enjoyed how you brought it into the modern world.

MissTeak! I LOVE this story! It gave me shivers down the spine!!! You wrote beautifully!
Oh my, he let himself die so that they could be together. He truly loved her that much. Her soul was so lost without him, even though she knew it was killing him, she still couldn't leave him alone. The tale is sad for sure, hopefully the kami allowed them to be together in the afterlife
wow... that's really messed up lol. But it was good and sad and heartwarming all at once. Great job!

wah! so sad! but at the same time so happy! ^ ^ man this made me cry! ^ ^ WAHHH~!
Sad, yes, but very sweet and romantic. For them, not being together was the tragedy. Very beautiful and well written.

That was sad - and yet, at the same time, it wasn't. This story really spoke to me about life, death, and love - most people only see the tragedy, poor boy, he's dead, and she's dead. But is it really a tragedy? They are together... here, or there, does it really matter? Somehow, I don't think it does, happy here, or happy there, is still happy, and together. Beautiful tale!

*wibble* It was such a bittersweet ending, to give up living for her...oh man. So powerful and beautifully written.
Well done Miss Teak!
Awe! How sweet...Great job! Simple yet engaging.
O.o I'm a lil confused about her being dead then not dead, but I have no doubts you'll explain that sooner or later lol. Anywho awesome start and I can't wait to see what happens next!!!
