I am absolutely enamored with the story! I love your portrayal of Sesshoumaru! The way that he pays such care and attention to Rin and his new Phoenix is fantastic. I appreciate the way you write about his instincts and thoughts. I'm excited for this story to continue developing! I was surprised at the jump in timeline but I think you handled it well! I would love to see some reflections from the past year by the characters as that is a long time to be caring for someone so intently. I'm curious about the phoenixes and why they want her back after abandoning her completely. 

This is a cool story I like it, but when does Kagome enter the story?
