I hope she will be able to deal with him. One never knows with Kikyo.That she was concerned about the destroyed villages gives me hope. Very nice update. 

Love the updates!! Great storyline. You stay in character so well!

Can't wait for the next chapter, these cliffhangers get me for sure. Haha. Love this story so far

Kikyo has a point... Kagome did just let him go wild. She IS young, and traumatize. Now kikyo has gotten to him and what? Goring Kagome"s hand? I don't see what Kagome can do here. 

That encounter with Naraku really rattled her and brought back all her memories. It resembles PTSD. She's worn herself out. Really nice update. Thank you. 

I am soooo enjoying this story... well, as angsty as it is, maybe I should say that I'm so intrigued by it, but that doesn't sound right either. Anyway, it's sucked me in, dark and angst-ridden as it is. I don't usually enjoy these kinds of stories, but this one has that certain something that just pulls one along for the ride. I bow to your creativity in writing something so traumatic, but still so seemingly realistic - I mean it just feels as though this is something that COULD have happened in the canon universe. So, THANK YOU so much for regularly updating and giving me something to look forward to at the end of the day!

:D

~~me~~

The relatability of this chapter hit me in more ways than one. I look forward to reading the rest. Your two stories right now are currently the highlight of my day everytime I get the notification in my email seeing that one of them has updated. 

Ah!

I love this story so much! I look forward to the updates! Thank you so much for sharing your work <3

She's lucky he didn't request help with the rest of his clothing. I would think a fundoshi would be difficult with one hand. Nice chapter. A little break from her angst. 

I love that she considers him a friend, even if he's still a jerk.  A loveable one though.

(?_?) he..just like that..

Loved the chapter! Moving along wonderfully, I think.

Facing Kikyo, standing up to Sesshomaru and her own fears...very good Kagome. Oh...let's not forget that tongue. 

Gushing like a schoolgirl over here!!! Lmaoo I love this rendition of Sesshoumaru and him staking his claims!!

The plot thickens! I am so curious as to what Kikyo has to say about anything these days lol. What with Kagome's battered confidence with herself concerning Kikyo to begin with, I am hoping time spent with Sesshoumaru and honing her skills will help her build up her up in the confidence department. Also help heal her after the nightmare of losing everyone :( I know more angst is on the way so I'm here for it! Thank you so much for updating so timely, sooo much love for this humble Sesskag and Mythicamagic fan <3 

Oh no! Not Kikyo!!! 

Ahh...I seem to have skipped right over this chapter. She did thank him nicely. I like the staff. It can be an elegant albeit dangerous weapon. Miroku was heck with his. 

Oh...now here's a turn of events. I like how you did that. Very nice update. I do hope that Kagome remembers to thank Sesshomaru for that lovely bow (and spear).

I'm really worried about Sesshomaru's "use" of Kagome will be. And I'm curios to how she's acting. All cherry and oblivious to his potntial malicious intent for her. He might not see the actions he'll ask her to do as bad - but she will. I just don't understand how she could be so blind. And if she's not blind to his possible use for her, how is she acting the way she is? I just don't understand. There's a difference between wanting to become stronger to be able to protect yourself and the ones you care about, and relinquishing your autonomy to someone in exhange for training. She was robbed blind in that negotiation if you ask me.

What a cliffhanger!!! wondering if Kikyo will be a baddie in this fic.  I hope not.  Thanks for the update!
