I hope that you are feeling better!  The wait was worth it - I love Mother/Son interactions between Shippou and Kagome!  I continue to enjoy this story - keep up the wonderful writing.

I got an email alert that chapter 9 was up, but it doesn't appear to be there.  Some glitch?

Oh Kagome. She does have such a strange life. I wonder where it will take her from here. I can't wait to see what happens next :)

I am really enjoying this story.  It's sweet and interesting.  I can't wait for the next update.

Great to see an update. A very amusing one at that. Rusty or not, it's nice to see your writing again.

Great story! I hope to see more.

Haha, that was funny.

"You are modest."

And you're the ignorant and arrogant arse of a daiyoukai that we love!

its really good.

pfft...snrrf...bwahahahahaha!

I have a feeling his surprise at her modesty has more to do with the school skirt than anything else. Awesome story so far, please update soon!

I like it! ^_^

Ooooo!  I like it already!  I always love stories in which Kagome realizes that her romance with Inu was a silly little girl crush.  It's not as melodramatic and much easier to relate to.  I do have to say that having Kags as a 27 year old seems a little wierd, but it could just be because most of the time she's portrayed as being in her early twenties.  Having her be a virgin at 27 also seems a bit unrealistic, but it is your story!  Anyways, I am really looking forward to the rest of the story, maybe the interactions between an older Kagome and Sesshomaru will provide a new type of entertainment!  Update soon!  You're on my favorites list!

lol like the ending, a lot. only thing I was confused by was her age, i know it probably doesn't matter but oh well. Is she 23 or 27? You said 8 years that would make her 23 (book said at 15 she started), and 27, that would make it 12 years; But that would be perfectly reasonable too considering its your story, she could have fell in at 19. idk i was just wondering
