Now that the heat and tension between them has peaked (after their conversation), I like how you're slowly building their relationship. It's the nuances and little moments that they have.. it's sweet. I wish a big strong demon would come in and swoop Kags up. Show Sess that it could work out, despite what he thinks. It'll be nice to have someone else, equally as "respected" admire her for who she is. Hmm, maybe the leader of the North? A girl can fantasize! Kags journey to finding her self worth is great. I hope she can be stronger and different. I like thst she stuck to her guns.. until the end. I can't hate you for creating a storyline that's different from how I want it to go (cries). I dont want her to get together with Sess!! There's so much heart ache coming up, with her jewel secret, him potentially leaving her. The pain is not worth it. She's just setting herself up for more tears and I'm sick of it. Sess is asking too much from her and if she knew her self worth, she'd see that. Boy, you're getting me worked up! Great job! can't wait for more. Thank you for another great update

I'm going to call it, Inuyasha is cheating on Sango.

This made me cry... it's the most realistic I would ever think for Kagome and Sesshoumaru to get closer while both being human, being themselves, despite being who he is on the inside. I love the slow progression of their relationship, how they both truly have to look deeply into themselves and come to some realizations neither one would have Seen without the help of half other. And can I just say how shitty of "friends" Sango and Inuyasha are being? They truly make me nauseous with how selfish they're being. Also, I am just WAITING on Sesshoumaru's inevitable reaction to knowing how he became human, if it truly was Kagome's fault. How Kagome's heart was breaking when he was trying to make her feel better about herself... ugh this poor girl needs a vacation! And to get laid! Please make it happen, Susie! My poor little heart can't take much more lol! This was my favorite chapter so far. They've had so many heart to hearts, it was so delicious to read. Thank you for sharing! 

Absolutely amazing chapter.  I love the ending, giving Kagome back her self worth.  Thank you so much for it.

I really enjoyed this chapter, Kagome is annoying the hell out of me but that could be because I'm a " Sesshomaru " type of person lol . She's being naive about everything & I would think she could understand everyone's views on the matter at hand . They all live in the feudal era & she's from modern times ! She knows that although there are risks in her time people are less likely to die so they have the time to slowly fall & figure out love but the others have that fear everyday that they'll pass from a illness they have no medicine for, demon attacks , infections etc so everyday is basi a battle so there are more arranged marriages or sexual encounters that are just for pleasure or that lead to a relationship so it annoys me that Kagome is acting the way she is I totally understand where her point of view stands but she knows she's not in her time . Lol idk I'm waiting for her to wake up , no she doesn't have to sleep with Sesshomaru but at least be more open , understanding & not naive with a reality filter

I have been waiting to give a review on your latest chapter! I definitely prefer longer chapters but this one would have been good to split into two, and updated at the same time? More chappies to read! Yay! :)

This chapter was a freaking rollercoaster. One point I thought they would totally do it, then not, then yes, then no... Oh my goood. My hormones are already fluctuating out of control lady! lol But I really do love the fact that Kagome is able to bring out these feelings in Sesshoumaru that she never would have before if he wasn't human. This whole "being human" thing is such an eye-opener for him, and an opportunity to literally put himself into a human's shoes, and perhaps make him understand more about the human condition than he otherwise would have.

One thing is for sure: his feelings for Kagome are developing rapidly and despite what he may tell himself about knowing he'll have to let her go once he becomes demon again, I don't think that it's going to work quite the way he expects... He already sees her as his "something to protect" much like Rin, but like, an adult female who he's also attracted and attached to emotionally and physically. I doubt his return to his youkai form is going to cancel that out.

The line:

He hoped that whatever male she ended up with was worthy of her trust.  He vowed to drop in on the young man when the time came and ensure himself of it.  The idea of her with another was not a pleasant one, however. 

“I saved a human’s life that night, but I saved a demon too.  Can’t you see that?”

These two points are inevitably going to be what will tie her to him whether he sees it or not. The fact that he cares about who she ends up with at all to even go far as to want to check in later on is very telling :) Like I can only imagine if she ended up with some doofus who wasn't worthy of her, if only because she caved and didn't want to be alone any more, so she settled for Hojo or something? xD

The kitchen sauce scene was hot. Can't wait to read more!

What a great read! You destroyed me the only way you know how to do best lol as for how you update you do you!!! I’ll come back for more long or short :) 

Honestly, I really loved the long chapter, but I would be happy with short frequent ones as well. Whatever feels best for you. And man, this chapter hurt. That ending!!! Firstly, our sweet Kagome has a lot of abandonment issues that she needs to work through, however, I am so proud of her for not allowing herself to be pressured into a situation that isnt healthy for her. I'm so tired of her sacrificing herself for the people around her, whether in love/friendship or this proposition of pleasure. She really deserves so much more. And I don't care how honest Sesshomaru 'thinks' he's being, it's still very selfish. The best thing that could come out of this is his little promise of being by her side while human. I'd rather them just be friends while he's mortal. I really can't deal with her heart being broken anymore, and as okay as she's becoming with the situation, Sango and Inuyasha still make me cringe. Though surprisingly I am really appreciating Miroku's insight/support and playfulness recently. It seems like everyone else, outside of mood swing McGee Sesshou, barely speak to her. So his relationship with her has been really comforting.

I think it is selfish of Sesshomaru to want to lay with while she is human and then want to leave when turns back demon. I hope Kagome resists her feelings for him.

i love your fic. it's such a really refreshing storyline and very well-written.

though, i can't help but comment on the plot for Rin's kidnapping hasn't surfaced yet and is a tad dragging on their postponement of it to heal injuries.

but still love this, good new stories are so hard to come by.

That was awesome. A emotional rollercoaster after everything Kagome deserves to be happy she deserves her romantic ideas and maybe he will feel for her what she needs maybe in the end she'll be worthy to his demon self

I have been reading this story for the beginning and love it. I do prefer longer chapters but have to admit this one I could feel it was rather long. I think that the chapter probably could have been split up after the kitchen and they decide the room placement. That would have been a good cliff to us wondering what happened when they shared a room alone for the first time. 

Sharing the room scenes were awesome and I loved the conversations that Kagome and Sesshomaru had. It seemed they got to know each other better. They let their guards down and talked. I do feel Kagome is asking much from him for their first time having sex. It came off as she wanted him to promise forever before they have sex. Sesshomaru let her know that he couldn't promise forever but he could promise that he'd stay while human. I feel his heart is softening towards her and probably will last longer. His promise is realistic for them right now. If Kagome truly isn't ready she should stop letting things get so heated between them. Even though it is good to read the lead up to the no before our hearts are crushed. lol No, great job looking forward to reading more of this story. 

We had to go and I really thought they was going to happen and then you crushed my feelings my hopes my dreams but we'll give it time and we'll see what comes up next

Yay! Another chapter~ ???? 

The longer the better, I always say. 

The emotions you put me through!! I'll start off by saying I love Miroku. So much that I feel sad for him. I'm happy we got to know him a little more and now I love him! He is everyone's best friend and I only wish he can have a man equal chance at a happy ending. But who am I to say what's a "happy ending". I guess it's different for everyone huh? He might geniunely be happy being who he is. Ok, Sess and Kags relationship took a turn. Their attraction and playful bantering is so reminiscent of puppy love as teens. I cant believe I was so in lalaland about them that I didn't consider who he really is. In a perfect world, I don't believe for a second that his feelings would be different as a demon. But there's that fear that YOU could crush our dreams haha. I dont know how I feel about Kagome's character. I am heartbroken for her and just want her to run. While I agree, I get being "realistic" about the world, I get Sess honesty, I just want Kag to give it up. I can't help but think she's starting to look pathetic. That's my jaded view. Maybe deep down I wish I was still hopeful like her. But Sess was harsh and I think it's silly that she wants to change him. I wish he would change on his own without Kag always being so available and tending to his needs. After his little speech, I was content with her walking away and the end of their relationship Haha. Sigh! Can't wait to see how you're going to develop this. I really appreciate the long updates! Theres so much more development in one chapter, the details that flow together. But I have no complaints about shorter, more frequent updates either. Thanks again!

Oh. My. Gah. I love your writing and I can't wait to read more! ugh! Words can't express how much I enjoy reading your stories! Please update soon!Long or short chapter, doesn't matter as long as you keep updating to feed my addiction to your stories!

Fi-an-lly their sexual tension has been killing me , I'm glad for their mini make out session & the confessions on both sides . Now let's see where this gets us because I was getting fed up with Kagome jumping in everyone's business Lol poor Miroku:(

I have to say Sango annoys me , especially when she lead Inuyasha into the forest to do the deed . She basically is horny & upset that Miroku is a cheater & things didn't work out with him the way she planned so when a opportunity presented itself for her to get laid ( Sesshomaru) she jumped at it & then was rude to Kagome . She would have went through with it if not for Sesshomaru stopping it then he tells her of Inuyasha's interest & she's off again chasing after Inuyasha now because she's learned of his attraction towards her . Now do I doubt she cares for Inuyasha ? No I know she cares but she was out to get laid & idk she's been getting on my nerves these last couple of chapters

What a delicious chapter~

Way to go Kagome!! 

Yayyyy progress! Ugh every interaction you have between them is so charged, it's inevitable they're going to make sparks when they finally do get together. I loved how you had us all on the edge of our seat with how Sess was about to screw those randos and I think you knew just how completely turned off a lot of us were at the thought, just like Kagome was, the act of throwing the condoms at him,  that she spent the night thinking she was listening to Sess screwing with those women but was actually murdering those guys who badmouthed Kagome... that was too good. Then the morning after convo they had... I'm glad they finally know where the other stands. Thank You!! The slow burn is killing me but it's just so delicious at the same time. Poor Rin though... I really hope she's okay...
