loved it,  Very good chapter i was biting my nails the whole time!

I know! I just left a review and here I am again right? But I forgot to ask you if the bow that was destroyed in the middle of battle was the bow that Kagome originally had when she left the castle or the bow that Sesshomaru got her at the market? I was a bit confused so I went back to re-read the chapter and still could not figure it out! Thank you!

That was awesome! Loved the battle and how Kagome impressed Sesshomaru with her abilities! This chapter kicked a$$! Now I'm all intrigued to find out what kind of gift did Sesshomaru get for Kagome! I was so happy to see an update that I dropped everything I was doing to read the new chapter! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, update soon!

First off, this was a really great chapter.  We get to see everyone (the Inu Brothers as well as Kagome) in battle action, and a lot of emotions play within it.  Really well done.

We saw a lot of emotion from Sesshoumaru, once again, even though he doesn't show it on the outside.  I like how Kagome and InuYasha manage to show a team effort against the foe, and draw out a little green from Sesshoumaru.  Priceless.

Even Kagome wasn't left out.  Being held, albeit, for moments, by Sesshoumaru, brought out some feelings that she doesn't want to entertain.  I can't say I blame her.  When you think that you really have no place being where you are, you tend to fight and try to stay a little more detached from those blasted feelings.  They can only mean disaster for the one feeling them.....unless reciprocated.  

Okay, now the format.  I think I understand what you were trying to do, but I personally didn't feel it worked too well.  It was difficult to place where the two paragraphs fit within the story.  While I can guess at where they were supposed to go, maybe repeating those two paragraphs within the body of the story would have worked a little better.  But this is only my opinion.  You write a mean story LOL :)

I look forward to seeing the ramifications of everyone's actions/reactions after the battle. Great job!  

I love this story. It is well-written. I have enjoyed every chapter. Keep up the excellent work!

You spoil us with such a quick update (not that I'm complaining)!

I think you pulled off the start with a cliff hanger, go back to the beginning of the action then continue on to the end alright, though I have to be honest, it's not one of my favorite "tricks" in literature.  That's nothing against how you wrote it - just my personal opinion regardless of who the author may be.

It was very nice to see Kagome in action again - I love that you make her such a strong, confident woman.  And of course, the Sess/Kags action was more than pleasant as well :-)

Oh my.

I cannot wait for another chapter. *face scrunches up* I also normally read only completed stories cause I hate waiting! You're story has kept me so wrapped up in it i just wanna read forever! ><()

I did like the time warp you put into it. It was a good touch... a cliffie in the beginning so to say. The chapter had also a great progression into the fight scene and was detailed yet not overly much wilst the fighting ensued.

Cant wait for the next chapter.

I do have one suggestion though, while the main characters have depth...it seems as though the side line people do not. people like the warriors etc. im not very skilled at writing or even how to convey just enough depth for background characters but maybe a little more emotion from flustered warriors in a miko shield? hm.

just a suggestion though :)

that was an amaZing fight scene! i love that Sess is jealous but still right in it! this was jsut awesome!

I find this story delightfully charming and this being said from someone who absolutely doesnt read AU stories at all. I detest AU stories. I somehow found myself enthralled in your first chapter and you have kept me entertained all the way through.

Further back you mentioned someone had said your dialog was lacking. Even then (and now)  I didnt see it. The way you set the words up are perfect for the scene in my opinion and sometimes to much dialog can hurt the story. I have found nothing wrong with your dialog and even enjoy it so much with the surrounding explanation without dialog that I will lol (LITERALLY).

I. . . UPDATE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I love this! Sesshomaru is amazing. Kagome is adorable, yet still herself... you've really captured them!

Though, I would LOVE to see more conflict arise between Ryo and Kagome. ;D

0o0o0o0o0o i LOVE this fic! and i think that's so adorable! escaped rin =x ♥

You have my vote! There is no way I wouldn't vote for you! Specially when you write such amazing chapters as this one, this has become one of my all time fav chapters ever! Sesshomaru is just too cool! And Kagome is sure (without meaning to) doing everything right to make sure that he notices her! I imagine her words of praise must have him feeling above the clouds! I can't wait to see what happens next! Please update soon? I'll give you a cookie if you do! I'll even give you two! Either that, or a slice of Eggnog Pumpkin Pie! PLEEEASEEE?

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So give me more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please.....=)

i truly love this piece.  it's romantic, whimsical and keeping much to the characters' rightful personalities.  i'm loving the slow progression of their feelings towards each other.  oftentimes, it is that way in real life as well, where each may not fully comprehend their feelings for another until it is too late.  i think you're capturing that perfectly!  keep writing!

Your story is FABULOUS! I love how Seshoumaru and Kagome are portrayed in your story, the slow going (yet not to slow) of the attraction and romance between them.      Keep up the FANTASTIC work!  

I liked this chapter. Padamaja's treatment of Kagome was uncalled for, but was understandable. It's more than apparent that the women who'd come before (as wel as those that would arrive after) Kagome were too eager about meeting Sesshomaru and gaining the chance to become his bride/Lady to do much more than act childish. I just don't understand why Kagome was so "shocked" at the state of the changing room. Was her sense of propriety offended? Strange considering miko (and Kagome herself) are supposed to be more progressive than the average farmer or noblewoman. She had to know that not everyone came because their honor urged them to do so (ike she did). Sesshomaru's beautiful face and piles of money did that. This chapter makes the majority of women out to be selfish, duplicitous and concieted, but I'm sure you're just trying to polarize the girls and Kagome to make her look better, no? Hmm...

The meeting was cute. He's captivated already. 

I do have a question: Isn't Padamaja a Malayalamisian name? Padma is Hindi.
