This is an awesome read! Favorited!!!:)

I really hate Kagome right now. Her actions were stupid and self righteous. 

Okay, as dark as this was, I actually really loved the more intense portrayal of Sesshoumaru and the philosophical debate between him and Kagome. It was incredibly fascinating and nuanced. And I love how Kagome was portrayed as imperfect. She definitley didn't make good decisions all the time, but it was also all tied into her personal growth and understanding. Excellent job. Also, Why To Not Piss Off Sesshoumaru 101. lol

Wow. Just, wow. 

I was holding off reading this for a while, but it is really good. For a short work which covers less then twelve hours in time it's amazing. Great Job.

What can I say? whoo! it was brutal! but there's truth in what you've written about people using animals to make medicine (which i personally think is rridiculous.) i cried at inuyasha's end. what an ignoble way to die! great story! 

This was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. :D

Wow, that was heavy.  That was...extremely heavy.  Well done.  It was one of those stories you don't want to continue, but can't help stopping.  It was intense and full of angst, and unlike anything I've ever red before. 

omfg. this was extremely well written. loved this from beginning to end. thank you for the extraordinary read.

Omg, please, please, PLEASE tell me you've got more planned?!?!? At LEAST a sequal?!?!? It was great! 

Loved this story. It was perfect in all its gore and conflict and pain. I can't even begin to explain how you captured the crux of the issue for me, or how I was totally swept up in Kagome's conflict. I thought Sesshoumaru was perfectly portrayed as well, and I loved how it was dark and gritty - haven't read such a good Sesshoumaru darkfic in a while. Awesome work, just awesome!

First I want to say I was shocked when it ended because I didnt notice this was only 12 chapters lol. Not that that is a bad thing at all. Very unique story and I loved it! The image that is in my mind (and part of the story i had to keep rereading cause i loved it) is of Sesshomaru attached to the ceiling. If i was that Daisuke guy i prolly would have sh!t my pants lol. Wow I have never read a story with so much gore and i loved it lol. I think u have a talent at dark fics n should make more *hint hint wink wink* OH! and ur poster for this story really helped to paint a darker image of Sesshomaru. Extremely great job on that also :) Hope to see more from you!!!!!!!

Wonderfully horrible, gruesome and bloody. Youkai being hunted to extinction and turned into traditional remedies like the endangered species in modern times. And abosolutely awful for Kagome to realize what has become of Inuyasha. Excellent darkfic.

All I can say is 'Woah'.This was so different and very deep.  As others have said this piece will have me thinking for a long time to come.

Truly excpetional. One of the most thought provoking stories I have ever read. You had me questioning *myself*. Tragic but enlightening.

it was more...crude. terribly sad but beautiful.

bravo !

When I first read this story I was blown away by the detailed discribtion given of Sesshomaru disembowling the priestess and eating her liver. 

0.0 My eyes where half way out of their sockets in shock. I guess we some times forget what Sesshomaru really is.

He is a DEMON, which we tend to forget, when reading all the fluff written about Sesshomaru. This story was perfect in getting that point across and giving new light on the darkness within human hearts. At human kinds worst we are perhaps even more sinister and curel then demons.  At some point humans are no better than demons. 

 I wish you would have continued the story though since the ending is a bit vague, I'm still wondering whats going to happen next, and how is Kagome getting out of that place it seems really far from the village???

Well besides the teary eyes following Inuyasha's death, I really enjoyed the story.

By the time I got to the end of Chapter 10 I was crying.  By the end of 12, I needed even more tissue.  I desperately need to go read something fluffy right now.  But I will say that this story does give me something to think about.  It is something I've had mulling around for a while.  Not all who are seen as bad guys and terrorists may be bad.  They believe just as strongly in what they do as we believe in what we do.  The child who is brought up to believe that Americans or whites or blacks or Muslims or whatever are evil is not evil in and of himself.  The whole proposition breaks my heart.  (and makingSesshoumaru into an Atreusmade me so sad and angry at the same time that I shook)

Despite what may seem like a very bad review, I did enjoy this piece because it DID make me think, and cry, and shake.  Wonderful job!

Interesting fic. :)  I enjoyed reading it.  It's very different from many others I've read.  :D
