In response to your question, I smell reincarnation.

Oh, that was just too easy to capture Naraku's soul forever, but why would it be in Ryozen's possession?  I hope that Ryozen does not have anything nefarious planned for Kagura's body.  Nice job and I just love this story.

Hugs and smiles :)

Is Ryozen going to bring Kagura back to life?  Even though I don't trust her, I guess it would be nice if she wasn't completely ruined by Naraku.  As long as she stays away from Sesshoumaru that is.  :)  Thank you so much for the update!

So enjoying this story. Please hurry with the next update. I am so glad that we are finally able to get to the part where Sesshoumaru and Kagome will actually be able to concentrate on themselves. Woo Hooo.

Oh, Amber.  I never forget about Kohaku.  He's one of the best characters!  Out of all of them, who would Shakespeare use as a hero?  Kohaku, I bet.

ha! stupid spider i wonder what the dragons' up to!

Cute chapter!  I love how Sesshoumaru protected Kagome from Inuyasha's contempt.  I'm glad that Inuyasha won't be able to be mean to Kagome anymore, even if he wasn't consciencely doing it.  Can't wait for your next chapter!  It's time for Naraku to die!  :)  Please!

Subtle but very beautidul... I liked this chapter very much.

I feel bad.  For one brief moment I doubted that Sesshoumaru would make the right decision.  Not that he doesn't love Kagome, but I thought he might not want their children to bear the strain of being half human.  I'm so glad that he realizes now that there is nothing wrong with Kagome.  Great update!  I just hope that someday Kagome can really think that she is worthy of Sesshoumaru and his love. 

interesting... *sits in thought*

Go Sesshoumaru!  I know that Kagome and Rin have complete faith in him, now he just needs to have faith in himself.  I just wonder what his test will be?  Can't wait for your next post!

0o0o0o0o diversion! you devious you! i likes! and i do wonder what Sessho's test will be, i bet its something about him giving up everything.  ^_^

Oh, come on! It's not fair that Sesshoumaru knows he'll be tested! Kagome didn't have that luxury! Will his test be twice as hard since he knows it's coming? I like the twist that this was all set up by Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha's father.

*jumping up and down in uncontrolled glee* happyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappyhappy! i'm so excited and i jus can't hide it!!!

Sesshoumaru has to know that something happened.  I'm so glad that she was able to come back to tell him that she loved him.  Thanks for the fabulous update!  I'm happy that the jewel is finally completed!  Now it's time for Naraku to die!  Can't wait for more!

i bet it was his mommy! >:3

Hallaluah Sister! I have a male right now being a pain in my butt, stay down, sleep, etc....

They have a do as I say not as i do attitude.

:psst; I love the chapter and have gone through this myself. Just thought you should know though, daffidils come in bulbs not seeds. <g>

 I look forward to this story everyday. In fact when I was in the hospital after my hubby brought the laptop to me it was the first story I looked up to read.

This is my favorite chapter yet! Who was Yuki Onna and why did she test Kagome? What kind of test will Sesshoumaru have to pass? :)
