English is not my mother tongue either, you know.
What I meant when I said I failed as a writer, is that to me, this story was always meant to take this course. There was no other option to me, but to have Sess and Kags abandon the life at the Castle. I've been trying to set the whole story, as well as the characters up for this one single plot twist from pretty much the very beginning.
I guess I should have been more thorough with it, but my prefereance has always been in subtler style. -shrug- So what I mean is, if you feel the chapter was out of character and unfitting to the story, I've basically screwed up in the whole set up.
It's a different thing altogether if people refuse to accept the decision Kagome made because of their own opinions. There's nothing I could have done to change how people think and feel, I knew from the start that there would be people who would not even want to TRY to understand the reasons. I can't please everyone, and it is not even my intention to do so.
But to say that in the context of my
story the chapter makes no sense... Well, that means all the fault lies solely on me, and my lack of skills to properly convey everyone's emotions, thoughts, reasons and situations, as well as setting up the plot up so that this particular plot twist would not appear to be so unfitting.
And frankly, that stings a lot more. People in general I suppose do not like to be forced to see where they are lacking. At least I hate that. ^^;
