Mother of god!!! That is cruel!!! So unbelievably cruel!  Ugh Im going to go cry in a corner from this cliffhanger! ( pun intended! Lol)

I can't say that i didn't see this happening, their relationship is complex and yet i get the feeling that inspite of the hate and bitterness, they feel something real for each other, they are just too stubborn to admit it. Kagome should not have used Kokahu like that knowing that just by being with him Sesshomaru could kill him. The emotions are raw and real, great chapter, waiting anxiously for your next post.

hahahah i love this seshoumaru.

now this is what love is all about. time to go psycho on everyone XD

how far more can kagome go

Pardon my ignorance, but does he kill Kohaku because she doubted him, meaning that he does care about her, or because he doesn't care about Kagome? I adore you story! Every time you uptade I smile and then I start suffering for Kagome. Amazing the way you portray her feelings.

That gnawing sensation at the back of my head came true... Oh Kagome, what have you done, you poor girl? Death will not be enough comfort for the consequences that will come. *sighs* I cannot blame her, though. Really, I'm actually astounded that she has lasted this long, but she did because she had nothing left to lose. Now she does...and she will pay another price, heavy, much too heavy. If she doesn't break under this then she's truly to be admired. At least, I'm suspecting it will not end well. I could be wrong and miracles do happen...just not to her it seems. And the damned are the virtuous amongst us, as the song says.

I loved how you delved into her soul and brought all those repressed feelings to the surface in such eloquent phrases. I especially loved the shadows part and how she is both averse and similar in nature with the dark.

Lovely chapter, Char! Anxiously waiting for more! "3 *hugs*

I've really liked the relationship between Kagome and Kohaku, and when I noticed the reviews for this story, I didn't understand why there was such an uproar against him. Sesshomaru in this story is the bad guy. He's not the good guy, you don't root for him. He has broken Kagome, forced himself on her, hurt her, made her immortal against her will. Kohaku cares for Kagome, wants to help and heal her. I get the people here love Sess/Kag as a pairing, I love Sess/Kag, but some stories you just have to root for another pairing.

Anyways, this is a wonderfully dark story, the way you write really helps convey that. Thank you for sharing this with the fandom, I just had to leave a review after being befuddled by those darn reviews.

OH. SHIZ.

Sailor Moon new anime is starting on July 5. Great, keep it coming.

What Makes A Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer run,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it...Dad.

Happy Father's Day!

next chapter please

Sesshy sure will kill him! Cant wait for the next!

yikes!

I need more~!! need to find out what happens next, quick!

=)

Another great chapter, Wonderbug! It was captivating!

OH GOD, OH GOD, OH GOD, OH GOD.

I DONT LIKE KOHAKU THOUGH.

STILL TEAM SESSHOMARU.

HEHEHEHE.

PLEASE UPDATE SOON!!!

Omg Sesshomaru now knows! Oh lord, I'm on the edge of seat! I wonder what he's going to do, will he now have his way with Kagome or would he find Kohaku and kill him! This suspense is killing me.

I hope you update soon!

I am really enjoying how Kagome is maturing throughout this story. Granted, she is so incredibly fragile, and were she not immortal she would have broken apart and left the world long ago, but under that flimsy psyche is a strength that makes her who she is. Her desperation is really tangible in this chapter, as the rational part of her mind attempts to keep a grasp on reality. And poor Kohaku, he is still that guileless boy at heart, taken advantage of by circumstance and his love interest's attempts to stay sane.

I can only hope that bit of Kagome's strength will spark a bit soon, because shit's gonna go down soon and she'll need it, ughhh. (I keep imagining Kagome suddenly going super Saiyan on Sesshoumaru and tearing him a new one, but I doubt that'll happen anytime soon LOL. D: )

Safe travels this weekend! :)

UH OH.

This has to be the darkest chapter of yours I have read so far...the horror runs deeper in this than even in Ab initio. I must say I both loathed and loved it - for the subtlety of the violence visited upon her, the illusion of freedom, the blood-lathered reality of her situation, and the flawless execution of it all. Gods, I love you, I adore this so much! I think I hate you a little for making me like such things. Lol

Kagome's matured so much in these last chapters, or more like forced to mature, but her transformation is lovely. How she cornered Kohaku, made him hearken to her will...it was magnificent. The nightmare that overlapped with reality was sublime, I'm kinda stunned speechless, actually. Your word choice, level of description, insidious lust and mindfuck...I dunno how you do it, honestly, but you need to teach me that! It was so tangible...I felt shivers crawling over my skin - so wrong but so right. And I still can't find it in myself to abhor Sesshomaru because he's so terible that he becomes perfect. Beauty lies in the purity of things and he holds another kind of purity. @.@

Seriously, I'm in love with this! Please update soon, yes? :3

Finaly! I was wondering when Sesshoumaro will lose his patience.  17 years.. well, WOW. 

You write it beautifully (hunted and beautiful).

I like the slow pace you pull off between Kagome and evil Sesshoumaro . By far more thrilling.

Please please update sooner!

I totally missed the chapter 13 update- imagine my joy when I realized I could read two chapters in one day. Euphoria~

Ohh, I knew it would have to happen eventually in such a dark story, but it is still heartbreaking all that Kagome endures.  I am worried about her state of mind and sense of self, and especially about what Kohaku may do if he senses a change.  Your writing is so fluid and lovely as usual :) those transitions are smooth as butter.

Great chapter!!!! Loving the details you put forth in your story. Well executed and brilliantly written. 

Kagome and Kohaku scene was heart breaking and beautful. Under different light would have made a good couple, but we all know it won't last. Therefore I'm glad Kagome got some good and happy memories with him. Its hard to believe 17 years have passed but then again time slows down when your soul bounded to someone, where time no longer matters.

Sesshomaru and Kagome's scene was hard to read but i couldn't stop reading it. Its sad to see someone like her break, but at the same time anyone would feel defeated, if we were in her position. I just hope she somehow finds a way out of this and gets him back. Hell have no fury like a scorn woman, in this case an abused one. 

Thanks for the update, its appreicated!!!
