I was about ready to dismiss the story after 2 years of it being discovered by me and noticing even more years of it not officially declared on hiatus, but cero updates so far. I thank whatever made me disregard the notion for this is one of my most beloved fanfiction work on this pairing, the only thing that kept me attracted (obviously, still does~) to Inuyasha after all this time.

The original script of the story gives ample opportunity to create an awesome adventure, throwing a modern schoolgirl through older times and meeting even older, mystical creatures connected to the very Earth and beyond, their nature still a mystery in my opinion; not yet scratching the surface of their beings. 

But, when it comes to character development, I find it lacking, dull, and predictable. 

My joy to this series stems, ultimately, by the creativity and hard work of it's fans. Their continuous need to apply more to this great story and simply paly with it's characters is amazing and inspires me kn return. Thank you for your hard work and for finding it in yourself to share it with all of us for our pleasure!

Bless~

Thaaaaaaaaaank you Rosie B! I first came across this story about 4 years ago and I'm so glad to see this update to what is definitely one of THE BEST Sesskag fics out there! I tried to guess what the next chapter location would be and was way off lol. You rock ^_^

Oh Rosie,

it's sooo good to have you back on this story! As I'm a reader of it from the beginning I would like to thank you for this outstanding story. Such a joy to read and for everyone interested in history such a beautyful sience tour. I'm wondering where they will be the next time.

Love Stardust

 OMG!!! I think I had a smile on my face the whole time I was reading. Welcome home RosieB!!! You have been missed!!! Now that you're back I have to go reread. Yay! See you soon!

RosieB swoops in at the last minute to save 2020!  You made my whole year with this update.  I've been reading this since the beginning, and i was very confident you would return to this when you were ready.  This is one of my favorite fanfics ever, and i am so happy to see you back.  I was actually just about to go read this again from the beginning, and still plan to!

This chapter was thrilling the whole way through.  Very interesting landscape and fun to see some old characters again.  I like their back and forth and all the revelations it brought up.  Nice to see some insight on sess/kag's feelings about each other, and also get some progress on their mission.  Won't get me in one of those tunnels boy, lol.  But I do wonder if sesshoumaru claimed her as his mate in his heart a century ago, and just never mentioned it?  lol.  Or if its a preview of things to come.  Hard to tell if any jealousy/propriety is at play with that comment.  Also enjoyed Kagome's little boast at the end, its always so funny when she reminds him of that XD  And the one-sided conversation was sweet.

Anyway, you made me happy, and very excited for the next installment.  I appreciate you and all the time and effort you put into this story.  Also, a nice little history lesson for me, so thanks lol.

FIRST OF ALL.....HOLY FCKING SHIT HI!!!! YOU ARE ALIVE AND WELL AND OMFGGGGGG SDLKFJSLDFJSLKDFJLIDSJFOSDFSDL I FREAKING LOVE YOU AND YOUR STORIES!!!!!!!

Second, this is going to be long and sound borderline creepy, so I apologize, but please hear me out. Words cannot describe how elated and excited I was when I saw this story, and your name, pop up on the top of the updated fics list. I literally screeched. I swear, I thought I was dreaming. I have loved this story since you first published it on FFN many, many years ago, and I am beyond ecstatic and thankful that you decided to come back and continue this. THANK YOU, THANK YOU x A MILLION. This is my absolute favorite SessKag story of all time, and I definitely fell in love again. It is excruciatingly difficult to weave these two into a story of epic proportions (with crazy plot twists to boot) while somehow preserving their personalities from the anime/manga and without risking them becoming too OOC, but you execute this feat so flawlessly. The character development, the subtleties in the way their relationship grew and evolved through trials and tribulations, and your overall portrayal of both Sesshomaru and Kagome are beyond superb, I almost feel like they have way more depth here than they ever got in the original series. I also absolutely adore how you are able to express the love between them without actually verbalizing it, as well as the intensity and depth of their feelings for each other like no other. Your writing style is extremely riveting and it's hard to turn away once started. This story is a classic example of a beautiful, timeless masterpiece.

I feel like I just wrote you a love letter and I can't help but shamelessly gush about this, as it is one of the best works I have read out there (both published and unpublished works). Anyway, I hope you are staying safe during this pandemic and I am so happy that you are going to continue and finish this story. Thank you, truly. You are a blessing to this fandom.

I literally freaking SCREAMED when I saw you updated! I AM SO HAPPY! SO HAPPY! I have missed this fanfic and reread it so many times! This fanfic, to me, was the one niche store we all needed- a very literal look at Kagome strugging through the centuries and it is NOT a walk in the park. I am SO happy to see you! Just know we all love you and wish you well!

OMG! YOU'RE ALIVE! I can't believe it, but I held out hope. And what's this? TSS will be finished later on? Can't wait.

Really glad you're back, and hopefully doing well and staying safe. I'll go read thee chapter now and leave a review.

Holy crap! I had JUST finished The Once and Future Taiyoukai and saw that you hadn't finished Beside You in Time, so I haven't wanted to start it since it didn't look too likely that you were gonna finish it. Lo and behold!! you updated! I've got chills!! I hope you are well during these crazy times, and am very glad to see you've returned to finish this epic tale. 

Awesome update. I'm going to have to start at the beginning again at some point, but I love how you weave a little history with this fic. 
 I am also glad you  plan on finishing this epic tale. Whether it takes a month, many months or years, it still brings joy to see an update. 

be safe, be well and thank you for sharing.

AHHHHH! I was so ecstatic to see this update. More than worth the wait. Brought me right back into this wonderful world you've created. Hope all is going well with you and I'm so glad to see this continued. All the best and hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy. 

I'm sorry but I have to write this review as I have never felt such a strong desire to tell someone how much I adore their writing and the story and the characters they have created. This is by far one of the best stories I think I have ever read - and I truly do mean it. The way you portray not only the canon characters but the characters you have created is phenomenal. Their personalities and desires are deep and realistic and the changes they go through are well paced and relatable. Also, your dedication to the history and detailed explanation for how Kagome and Sesshomaru fit into it so well thought out. I have enjoyed every part of this story, thank you for writing it xx

Went back to re-read this story as I miss it and hope you can find the effort, and excitment to finish it!  Hugs to you Ms. RosieB!

Que excelente historia!! Es la segunda vez que la leo y tengo que decir que es una de mis favoritas, tan atrapante es la trama que ahora, la segunda que la estoy leyendo se que una vez que la termines la voy a volver a leer!! Es así de buena! :D

Espero la vuelvas a actualizar pronto y la termines antes de los 10 años!! ;)

Continúa con el excelente trabajo!! 

I have loved this story.... but it ended with one left to go, I would love to see them get the last of them i would love to see more with them and his daughter I hope you update again  thank you for writing it :)

So I had to reread this again, just because it's such an amazing story. I'm glad Kagome got Sesshomaru back, and while he may have compromised the safety of his kind (anyone can be broken when faced with torture, as I'm sure you know >.<) I think it might have been a good experience for him. Nothing short of that would be able to get him to 'loosen' up where Kagome is concerned, enabling him to discover the depths of his feelings for her. At least that's my take on the whole deal. I know the rollercoaster ride isn't over yet, and as always I'm waiting on pins and needles for the next chapter. I just hope that after all the bad, that they might get some kind of happily ever after once it's all said and done. You rock Rosie, keep up the awesome work!!!

this chapter made me cry... it shows how much they love eachother! thank you for updating this story again i hope you continue to update. i remember reading this on FF.net i lost this story when my old computer fried im so happy i found this story again i love it so much. please continue to update it please.

i remember reading this story before it was a long time ago i loved it then and i love it still now. it sadens me about kagome unable to have children.

Oh god! This story is gold. I stumbledbupon this story in the forum as a highly recommended fic. I'm hooked! I started reading this this early morning and its now midnight, I'm still just on chapter 14. Damn!
