I don't think I can deal, a month off? I go 4 days and need an update!!! It's soooooo good!

My vote's for Sess/Kag. I just like those two so much. Kagura's cool but needs to find her own man lol.

I'm not sure exactly how this works, but I'd like for it to be solidly Sesshoumaru/Kagome.

But I'd also like Kagura to not die. I always felt bad for her...however I know that Sesshoumaru might have feelings for her hidden somewhere...and I'm not sure how her survival will affect this....oh well.

My final vote is Sess/Kag.

--Silver

I think it would be interesting to see kagura with someone else like Inuyasha maybe. I'd like to see how kagome and sesshomaru develop a relationship since their starting was so rough. 

I am very happy to see another masterpiece by you. :)  The emotions of the characters are very raw in their intensity and the agony is bonewrenchingly poignant.  The first chapter conveyed dubious consent to me on both Kagome and Sesshomaru's parts.   I am curious as to whether you will explore that avenue of Kagome's lack of choice, too.  Poor, Kagura.  I would like to see this as a Sess/Kag pairing and have Kagura paired with someone else. She needs a compassionate demon she could ultimately fall in love with.  All of them are very damaged and I look forward to how they will weather their own storms.

My vote is just sesshomaru and kagome. I think kagura should be paired with someone only for her.

I vote to pair Kagura with someone else. Primarily for furthering character depth (IMHO)

This is a really great story and I would ask that you not add Kagura to the pairing. I believe Kagome and Sesshomaru will have enough to hansle dealing with the Mate Bond all in their own much less adding a third person to the mix. I like the idea of Kagura being part of the group and pairing with someone else. Just my two cents : )

Q-Q You gonna make me cry for a month waiting for an update~! You ebil authoress!! QQ

Good luck on your NaNo :)

And I'm not against SeshXKagsXKagu *-*

That was an impressivly smooth flow of storytelling.

As for Kagura, I don't mind her being the 'third part'. Not the second woman for Sesshoumaru or another sexual partner. No. Something more. The piece of whole.

Then again, I'm a die-hard for Ses/Kag, but... There is potential for something that wouldn't break Ses/Kag, but would turn it into something special. However way it may be :)

Anyway, good luck in NaNoWriMo! :D

See you in December.

I love dark drama they are my all time faves, and this piece is full of all the right stuff that makes it great. Your characterisation of the cast is wonderfully done and your overall writing styles superb. [Wish I could write like that, sighs] It will be a long wait until December for chapter 1V, but I know it will be worth the wait. Till then I burn!

I really liked this chapter, and I like your characterization of Inuyasha. He's not some over the top characiture of who he was in canon, even from the short time he appeared I could see that he had depth. You portrayed him as he was in canon, with layers and human emotions. After reading a couple fics this week that made him out to be the exact opposite, this actually brought a smile (though haunted from the feeling of the chapter) to my face.

Second off, I love you writing. I envy you sort of. You're so good!

Thirdly, though it's a shame this is on haitus 'til December, that's perfectly reasonable. I know I've done that with all my fics so I get the thought behind it. Once more, have fun with NaNo.

Lastly, as for the Kagura portion. I'd like it explored a little, like maybe some feelings that bloom but overall fade, maybe because they cared for her and she starts to think that she should love them in return, like she feels guilty and wants to make up that caring for her with her own love, though in the end after they helped her with her trauma, she realizes that that's not what she wants. She wants her own freedom and to be with a love (or multiple) because she loves them, not out of guilt. I personally would prefer that it ends up more SessKag in the end rather than SessKagKagu but your the author so whatever you want, or others want, is fine by me.

Thanks for writing!

Oh, man. I REALLY feel bad for Kagura. I don't think she should be involved in the Sess/Kag pairing. She's too scarred, both physically and mentally, to even think of letting a male touch her. I hope Kagome gets her claws on that priestess that corrupted her. Looking forward to the next chapter.

kagura x inuyasha? XD 

and i think everyone in dokuga knows what a bond do to dogs and girls heh heh heh. Man i stick here too much

Great chapter dying for the next update.

Keep it coming

I don't like it, but it's really good. Your writing style is solid and well done; no missing words, typo's, gaps in description, or phrasing that makes me want to slam my head into the desk. I also think you have a good handle on the base of Kagome and Sesshoumaru's personalities. Above all your plot is interesting so far and I can easily see everything with my mind's eye as I'm reading... which is probably why the first chapter made me so uncomfortable (I did a lot of skimming). 

Good work. I'll definitely be coming back. 

This story was intense, loved it!

Looking forward to the next update.

Interesting idea, with several possibilities. Can't wait to find out what exactly is going on!
