Another masterpiece! I read your every piece and can't help but fall in love with your writing style! Eagerly waiting for more! Thx in advance!

I actually like how this fic ended. It shows the sort of moments that made Kagome's friendship with the others so strong. I think, in a lot of ways, that this could have easily taken place in the canon, and that it would have made for a strong bond. Romance isnt neccesarry all of the time, and the way you went through this whole fic is fantastic. Most people would aim for romance from it, and in some ways that seems sort of disrespectful, given how much of this fic revolved around Rin, in a manner. So I think it's perfect, actually. Thanks for writing such an amazing piece.

*wibbles*

Okay. I can see Sess actually envying, maybe hating the people (person) that are able to show their grief, experience itfully like that. I can definitely empathize, in a way. I feel sorry for him that he can't unbend, for whatever reasons (and there are a plethora that fit). Amazingly done. You managed to pack a lot into such a small chapter, and that's hard to do.

It's strange that theyre not commenting, but maybe theyre not saying anything in deference to his grief. Kagome's assumptions aside, I like that she's determined to give him someone that's there for him.

Mmmm, I honestly dunno what to say about this chapter. I really like it, I do. I'm worried about getting repetitive though lol. I do like that she's second guessing her opinions about him though. I'm sort of sad it took Rin dying (Im inordinately fond of little Rin, even though most people hate her). But I like that it's occurring, and in a natural setting isntead of just, 'she sees him, sees him walk, sees him slay, sees him doing...whatever that isnt really different from his normal self'. 

Sess has always had a very backwards way of showing any form of concern about people, and I really like that it's remained, even if he's..well....yeah lol. 

I really like the end line. Kagome is the kind of personality that can give, and give, and give when she knows someone is hurting, even if she's not especially attatched to them. That being said, I love your portrayal of Sess in this.

B-b-b-but...

Okay, I admit it, I don't get it. Maybe Rin is coming back? I mean, third times the charm and everything, right?

XD Nice use of the word, and I dunno, the oddness of it makes sense considering the setting. I think they might both be a bit abrupt, more than a littl unbalanced, and that it would lead to something as strange and out of place as that. Well done.

Oh, oh wow.

Sess losing control like that, and I don't think there's anything controlled about his reaction, is just..the image in my head is something bordering on a breakdown. Something very frightening that actually draws someone closer because it's so sad. *ends maudlin mode* Sorry, just, you're doing a really good job of painting a picture.

“Do not, Miko. You wish to speak on things you do not know.”

Sesshoumaru strikes me as the kind of person, even in grief, to feel like others don't and can't understand. Maybe it's a symptom most people experience when they grieve, but I think he would be worse than most, which comes through really well in this chapter.

O.O

Rindeath. Very rarely explored, and the reaction is..powerful. I can't think of a better word for it.  Just the image you evoked is a very powerful one, in it's intensity.
