Finally that nightmare is over! Mmmph, now it would seem that the worse is yet to come. I can't help but to wonder how Sesshomaru is going to handle the pregnancy if the babe is Ko's. I can tell that it will be difficult as hell. Tttt, male pride will definitely get in the way. Very interesting developments ahead. Can't wait for the next chapter!!

Don't let her be pregnant with ko'so child

 That would be horrible.  I think I just want a happily ever after . 

Excellent fight scene. I have to ask though if you are referring to Tenseiga or Tetsuaiga when you say that it brought down the barrier?(Many spell Inu's sword differently than I'm accustomed to spelling it, so ?!?) I mean, since InuYasha died Tetsusaiga would work for Sesshoumaru since he is using it to protect Kagome, a human. But your spelling is off (you spelled it with an ai and not an ei), which many people often do, and so I'm just confused which sword he's using. I think you're using Tenseiga (the sword that heals), but I don't remember it breaking barriers...**I feel so dumb. shrugs, I've missed alot of the ending series episodes**

I also have to wonder how Ko could possibly think that he could best and kill Sesshoumaru knowing that he, himself (Ko) is in a severely weakened state of being since he shared half his power to save Kagome from death...he must of thought that Sesshoumaru was in a much more weakened state then himself. I guess Ko thought that planting that little thought that Kagome may be pregnant would also throw Sesshoumaru off.

I also was wondering since Ko is dead and so is all the other people on the island, how are they going to get off the island? Did that barrier drop when Ko died? Kagome wasn't able to drop it before so I assume it won't be any different now...Sesshoumaru wants to go home, will his sword be able to drop the island's barrier now that Ko and his men aren't there to reinforce it? or will Kagome need the power of the fruit to gain enough power to get them off the island?

I just can't help but think that that last peice of fruit is still in the pond and must be dealt with before they leave. We wouldn't want some fish or fowl eating it and turning into something..

Anyway, I enjoyed the fight. Both Ko and his mother got what was coming to them and Sessh was kind enough to turn Ko's body to dokkasu goo so Kagome wouldn't have to see him again. I also liked that in her unconscience state she is still murmurring Sessh's name, which I'm sure was so much more important to him than he thinks right now. I also have to hope that Kagome is NOT pregnant by Ko, as I'm sure every reviewer is thinking. I think though, that if she is, Sesshoumaru would be able to overlook the fact that the child wasn't his, but WAS Kagome's, because his love for her is that strong and a part of him.

Hugs and kisses,  JEN

Oh boy.  I sure hope that if she is pregnant that it's sesshomarus. 

Yes, now Ko is dead too. That is great but I have a feeling that the future is not going to be easy on Sesshoumaru and Kagome, if she is really pregnant, with the incertainty of who is the father of the child. I just hope that, in the end, it will be Sesshoumaru's. Great chapter.

I'm so happy that this dickhead dipped in afterbirth finally died!

Thank you  i am happy kagome is out of there i did not what so ever like that d*med monk he is to be holy not a rapeist 

Good finally rid of ko and his mom. I would hope that kagome suffered enough,and is not pregnant. It would be nice for something right to happen to them.

Oh sooo intense!!! I felt like I was right there standing on the outside of that barrier looking in and seeing Sesshoumaru on the other side trying to find a weak point while Chizu has stabbed Kagome through the back and has made a mad dash to go find the fruit in the now darkened water of the pond.

Sesshoumaru's and Ko's shock at what has just happened to Kagome and they both know that without that fruit or Tenseiga's spiritual gift, she'll die. But Ko's barrier is still up and so it looks as though it'll be up to Ko to give of his newly formed life force to save Kagome's life, or be greedy and allow her to die. I can feel them both at that moment. The pain and anguish of seeing her life's blood flow quickly to the ground and in that moment when Ko decided to save Kagome's life even knowing she loves a youkai, was startling. He knows she'll never love him and he had to know that either way, Sessh wouldn't give up the fight for Kagome.  I agree that Sesshoumaru would do just what his father did and die to save his love if he could. This is the greatest gift one can give another after all, is it not?

But Ko truly does love Kagome deep down beneath his twisted motives and jealousy. He saves her life, giving himself only half of the power the fruit he ate held and in this moment Sesshoumaru is able to find the weak point in the barrier and kill Chizu, which was his right for trying to kill his mate. I agree, Sesshoumaru mated Kagome first and she is his, she gave him her blood as he took hers first.

Kagome is alive for now and that last small fruit is still in the pond waters..Ko and Sesshoumaru will have to fight for the right to be by Kagome's side...and Sesshoumaru needs to fight like he has never fought before as Ko's spiritual power he shared with Kagome, he still has the power of the island that has been the bane of Sesshoumaru's time there. I have to wonder though, there is that power of the island to still help Ko, will that ability to use his power and Kagome's own pure spiritual power combined to give Kagome some ability to help Sesshoumaru fight against Ko? But Will the island's power listen to Kagome now she shares a part of Ko's power? Hmmm...

Totally great chapter. I just knew you wouldn't end it too abruptly.

I still think Kagome should take the other fruit. I'm hoping she has to, though I understand her doubts about it's true legacy and abilities.

I've missed you, Moonlight Silk. So glad you updated. Hope this review finds you and the family doing well. Gentle hugs and kisses,  JEN

My goodness what a finale this is turning out to be. I can hardly wait for the battle between Sesshomaru and Ko. Good chapter!

Well, at least now Chizu is out of the picture. Now remains Ko, and this may be a though fight, because as he ate one of the berries, his skills increased signifinantly. Although now that he had to give some of his life force to heal Kagome from his mother's attack, he is somewhat more vulnerable, what is good for Sesshoumaru. It seems hard for Ko accept that Sesshoumaru really loves Kagome, because he believed that severing their bond would be enough to keep him from Kagome. It would be true if the only thing that kept them togheter was the bond, but this is not the  case. Loved the chapter.

Nice chapter, keep it coming. Happy New Year!

Battle royal.  Next :)

You know, if I were Kagome, I'd enter that pond, pluck that fruits and eat them both. There, end of problem. I can even imagine the look in Ko and Chizu's faces, it would be hilarious, dont't you think? Now, seriously, the chapter is great as always, and It's good that now Ko knows the true intensions of his mother, and that Kagome got enough time for Sesshomaru's recovery. Now it's time for action, and Happy New Year for you and all of your loved ones. Kisses.

It's a good thing Kagome was able to stall Ko's pushing her to get the fruit. I think even if Ko had lost his trust in Kagome her little outburst and words of distrust that he should have of his mother would have worked as well. But it always helps to use womanly wiles against a man when necessary.

Ko never even gave it a thought about the plant baring 2 fruits or that Chizou was dying so her body could become pure enough to eat the fruit. I just hope that Kagome will regain enough of her own strength to stand on her own two feet by the time Sessh gets there so she can move fast. I'm aware how stressful all this has been for her and little restful sleep she's gotten, but if Sesshoumaru is to help her she's got to pull all the strength she can muster to end this. With Chizou being weakened I don't see her as such a great threat for either Kagome or Sesshoumaru.

Once Kagome is in the pond Ko or Chizou can't touch her, right? That why he needs Kagome's pure soul to attain the fruit, he's not a pure soul anymore and well, Chizou we know still isn't pure and so that leaves Kagome to pluck the fruit and(hopefully) have Sesshoumaru speed through fast enough to get her and the fruit away from Ko and the intensity of that area.

Oh and since he has ingested Kagome's blood does he have a connection with her again? or will he have to re mate her to gain that power? I am also hoping that by ingesting Kagome's blood that Sesshoumaru will have more of a resistance to Ko's power's.

Another great chapter, Moonlight. I was proud of Kagome here. She used good sense and womanly wiles against Ko and his mother. I just have to wonder if she'll truly eat of the fruit knowing that she'll become immortal. I know I would if the male I love wanted me to stay by his side for eternity. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Take care, my friend. Love and kisses,  JEN

This chapter and the one before were so awesome please continue with the excellent work. Looking forward to the next chapter.

   I can't wait to see Ko and his fiendish mother get their comeupence!

Please let it be gruesome! These fiends need to suffer greatly....

Oh my, this chapter is so full of action and emotion on Kagome's part. I just hope Sesshoumaru recovers as soon as possible to help her prevent Ko eat the fruit, otherwise Kagome will need a backup plan. Great story and again I'm waiting anxiously for the next chapter. Kisses.

Great chapter, keep it coming.

I absolutely hate cliffhangers. Stop it. XD
