hello its me again...Sorry I haven't been able to read in a while thus I'm only this far in the chapters at the moment....TT.TT....But I have time off so now I can read to my hearts content!! >. yay!!! I just wanted to say that I love Juro...he's soo funny.....trying to make kagome dance with sesshoumaru its soo cute...I really wanted to say that Sesshoumaru and Kagome remind me of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy from pride and prejudice....we all know their going to end up together but its fun to watch them nip each other with sharp tongues and gestures....lol...please keep writing I love your fanfic.....I know I'm rambling.....its hard for me to find fanfics that I can easily engross myself into...so never stop writing....unless your in a coma...then that would be hard......but yeah I love your story...their funny as hell characters....I love how we all know they want each other but they themselves still don't know it.....^.^

i cant find your profile on mediaminer could you send me the link?
Thanks

The last chappie to be posted here was amazing. I can't wait to read what happens next on mediaminer. You've done a great job portraying Kags' darker self and Sess' kinder self w/o being too OOC. Keep up the good work and I'll see you on mediaminer :P

I went on to mm.org and could not find your story, do you think you could e-mail me a link? at little_rini@hotmail.com
:) Thank you

I love your fanfic...its really refreshing...and I didn't even notice I was on chapter 14 before sesshomaru appeared....I swear during most fanfic I'm cranky and yelling at my poor computer screen..."When the hell does Fluffy show up?!!!" but refreshingly during yours I just really wanted the story to develop and I loved seeing the characters act without each other...it just makes the waiting awesome. And then watching them miss each other....omg love it...its like smelling good food and not being able to eat it....a little unnerving but in the end a delightful experience 'cause once you taste it your taste buds go to heaven......lol...hope I make some sort of sense here and don't sound too funkay.....^.^ can't wait to read the rest of your chapters..

Good morning

I still like your story (I'm sure you don't remember me but I wrote some time back that I like it.)

I am also sure that it is a needed component of the story to let Sesshoumaru go back on his word (I hope that is the right expression) that he gave his father.

But I am a guy who thinks that breaking a promise is a kind of treason and very dishonorable. Especially the latter I cannot connect with Sesshoumaru.

Well, that's possibly a reason why I didn't write something for the last update. The others are sheer lazyness and the EURO 2008 on TV.

Nonetheless I'm curious how your story will go on.

Btw, there was one thing I saw:

On Singlespark 32. Chapter 30 (after the dreamsequence): “Perhaps, but you did asked me to. Was I to leave you in your most vulnerable time?”

Is it right to put "did asked" together? If so, then please forget this interjection.

Good luck to you (wherever you might need it)

Wow! That was a very interesting chappie. So just out of curiosity, does the storm trigger bad memories that make Kagome lose it like that? Also, who was the guy in her dream... It sounded like Inuyasha to me...What is the translation of the alias that the guy told Kagome to call him by? This is getting sooo good, I'm hooked and don't want this to ever end. :P

I'm so G:AD she finally accepted Sesshomaru!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok i started to read your story like once or twice but stopped because i didn't understand the beining so i finally read that whole thing and i think its GREAT i love it please update asap and just ignore those people who leave those flames i let them get to me once so i deleted my story but later i realized their not worth it!
Ja ne

sexy midnight miko

This is getting pretty interesting... It's about time that Kags gave Sess a chance. But who's the guy she keeps seeing at these monthly pilgrimages? How did she first meet this guy and why can't they be together? Does this guy know of her monthly "pain attacks" where she goes feral? This is getting really good. Keep up the good work and hurry w/ the next chappie. Also, good luck w/ the promotion :P

Hopefully the next chapter will bring our two favorite couple closer together!

OMG !!! I love this story !!!
Say, where do you plan on going once you can't post on this site anymore??

go to hell

Hi there

I reviewed a few days ago and I just came to read your response and I think I expressed myself in the wrong way.

(These refer to Single-Spark-chapters.)

The first one was in "28. Chapter 26", the last submitted chapter.

Excerpt: Sesshoumaru was too angry to think. He knew what he wanted – and that was Kagome. There would be no more games. His youkai had unveiled his clouded mind. He wanted the miko. Not just for one hot, pleasurable night. He wanted her with him. Whether for one year or a hundred, he still wasn’t sure. All he knew now was that she belonged to him and until he could completely understood what it was about her that drove him crazy she would have to remain by his side. It didn’t matter what anyone else thought about it.

The other one was in "26. Chapter 24".

Excerpt: However, the moment was ruined by the sound of thunder and rain. My body stiffened immediately. He noticed and pulled me closer wrapping his entire aura around me. And for the first time since the dreams began, I finally catched his scent - sandalwood and scent that was uniquely him. I felt protected and secure. The thunder grew distant in my ears and was his soft and loving words of protection.

But these are only examples. The last thing I want is for you to feel as if you are in school with a "teacher" that points out everything he is not comfortable with. I think it can dampen the will to let the story go on.

Perhaps this would be better: a "find-the-mistake" game

28. Chapter 26: Juro wasn’t someone who loved to fight. He eyes were slowly shifting between red and green. But defending Kagome was something that he planned on doing until the day he died. That day, on that first encounter with the miko, he promised himself that he would see her safe until the day her ningen days ended. He returned Sesshoumaru’s own glare and accepted his challenge. (copied from the original, not altered)

(Hint: It is in the second sentence)

As I stated in the other message, english is not my first language and therefore it feels weird if I read something like that and these are only some that are so obvious even I can locate them. Just when I do not see a mistake, when there is one, it could have an impact on my understanding of the story.

The honorifics: Well, if you put it this way, you are right of course, it was only a little suggestion by my side.

And the length of your chapters: It is hard to write, but when you are in the flow it is even harder to stop. My opinion was purely selfish as I want to read your story and when there is more then I can read more.

I know it is hard to write and even harder to write good, but some (like you) have the gift to do it, so you have to exploit it.

As you see, your text is much longer than my response; that is why you are the writer and I am the reader.

That is all, I think.

Good luck to you

P.S. I just saw that the formatting in the first review could have been, let's say, bad. If it was like that, then I am sorry. I hope this one is formatted better.

Good evening (or whatever time it is)

I just read your fic to ch 26 and would like to tell you a few words.

First of all I like it, but there are some things I would like to point out.

As you probably see, english is not my first language; therefore it is difficult for me to read something, that I think is a mistake ((Example in the 26th ch: "until he could completely understood"; take away the "could" or make the verb an infinitive) or "catched" instead of caught)
Of course, I can be wrong, if so, then sorry.

Next thing is your using of japanese terms. While I really appreciate it, in my opinion you should use more of japanese honorifics like Kagome-san or Sesshoumaru-kun (bad example), as it supports the atmosphere more.

And of course it would be better to have longer chapters in the range of 50kb or so.

In the end let's say there room for improvement, but it's not far to the top.

Good luck to you

I really loved this chappie. And I'm curious about something... is Kagome part youkai or something? cuz she has this bloodlust thing and her eyes turn silver. Or is she being possessed by the shikon jewel? I look forward to finding out how Sess will explain his actions to kagome. And what about the inscription on the katana? what does that have to do with Kagome's bloodlust? Keep up the good work :P

great chapter!
will sess had a chance with her or more precisely, will she let him a chance? or will she continue to push him away again and again until driving him crazy? why can she consciently let others come closer to her from time to time but not him? when her subconscious are screaming to her to let him in apparently? Arg it's driving me crazy! please please update really soon, i can't wait for what will happen next!!!

Hello!!
Well, I just finished reading your fic and I have to say that I loved it! I read in this week all the chapters you've posted until now. I like very much your way of writting and how the characters develop. And is amazing how you describe some parts of the Japan history. Even if I found some mistakes in you japanese expresions... I still like very much your fic.
I hope you keep posting it, because I want to read the three parts of the trilogy! ^_~

good chapters! I can't wait for the next ones! It is terribly sad that Spark is going to be gone though. But i can't wait to see what happens next. there is sure to be some drama, with the cliffy that you left!.

what do mean its closing down ass caNT ITS NOT FAIR i havent heard a thing about this ??? any idea's why.

gah!!! your so talented this story is amazing. however your doing it keep it up because i cannot wait to see how it unravels itself!

your right u are mean lol maby u could be perswaided to change ur mind and update sooner hmmm.

cya great story

I understand authers wanting to be authentic as possible when writing stories set in another country or language but I still don't get why some writers insist on translating words within the story. It's EXTREMELY annoying and makes the story hard to read.

Either include the foreign words and leave it at that or write in freaking English.

Furthermore, "I must make remember to get that fixed." -- That sentence does not make any sense. I pretty much stopped their because reading this and trying to make sense of it was very difficult.

that was terriffic keep it up hun.

I really can't get enough of this fic. I love the last 3 chappies u've written. It seems that Kags has become much colder and Sess is becoming the warmer one. I wonder if there is anything that Sess can do to really make amends? Like do something that shows how equally vulnerable he can be... for kags it was singing... so i wonder what would be his secret that he didn't want anyone to know? Maybe if he showed her then maybe just maybe he'll be forgiven. Anyways, keep up the good work and hurry w/ the next chappie :P

aww! I wanna know what happens next!! thanks for uploading the three chapters!! by the way, is that the end of the first part?

Lovely as usual I thank u 4 continuing.

I really like this story alot. Can you please write some more chapters?

Don't get so angry! Your fic is awsome.

I have finally gotten to the end of the story thus far, and its only taken me....a month? Bah! anyway, i just read your A/N and i must applaud your devotion to your work. I had started two stories of my own but canceled them for various reasons, and writing is very taxing. I am greatful to you.

Anyway, I love the character of Kagome in your peace. You built her based on the life she's lead that makes her who she is. i hate it when writers describe how their 'kagome's go through such trial and she turns out to be this happy go-lucking soul. No. and am a little fretful about Sesshomaru being a snutty child in personality, I just like the holier than thou attitude.^.^ In all, I love the story and the creativity and the foundations and would heartily wish that you wont let ignorant readers worry you.

You have good work in the making with this story do not let anyones jealousy get to you keep up the good work.

Sorry again about the little f-bomb.

WTF? God people can be dumbasses. Your story is one of the only few fics that have kept my interest for a long period of time. I love it because the plot is something fresh, something new. Well, I don't need to go into detail...you know what I think of your story. Good things! :D Don't listen to those stupid fuckers.

Sorry for the strong language. As a reader that is upsetting to hear and you don't deserve that. No one does. Anyhow, I hope your vacation was excellent. The weather's still bleak here. :( But hope to have your updates soon!

-miki-chan aka GF

Good for you don't listen to punks like that you a very good writer and a very intelligent person. I hope that you will continue and i do appreciate you letting us read your work! I thank you for giving me enjoyment of a different story other than the regular inuyasha story tied with seshomaru popping falling in love with Kagome. Thanx plz don't give up! Luv ya Dannie!

very good but the stuff about the 12 year olds was just plain mean and it offends as I am 12 and when I try I am a really good writer and I don't know what the heck people were talking about when they said it was boring I could not wait for the next chapter

I loved your story, as for the bad reviews,screw them! I think if you really sat down and had more detail, a story idea as good as this one,and made your own characters, you could write a book easily! I'd read it! Heck I really can't wait until you finish this story so I really hope you don't let those bad reviews get you down, so the rest of us that enjoy your writing and can appreciate good literature. It is so hard to find a good fanfic that isn't about some gay highschool drama, and screw the people that don't like it! I thought this story was great , I totally understand your distress and I'm with you all the way! Just remember you got some loyal fans out there that genuinely appreciate your talent!!!!!!

I was so excited when I saw that you had updated! Hoping for a chapter, hehe. Hopefully your vacation went well, and that really sucks (for lack of thinking of a better word at the moment) that you had to come back from your vaca to all that drama and rudeness! As for all the flamers, I am personally against them totally (not the people themselves, but the messages). I believe that if you do not agree with a person, you can tactfully acknowledge it/them and tell them in a non-insulting manner. I know that writing is difficult and very time consuming, I am personally trying to write one right now (between work and school there isn't much time), so I have a deep respect for people to put their stories out there. Most people that write flames are looking for a specific, and generally cookie-cutter story with no plot and jumps right to the good part. When they can't find that they get angry and take it out on the author, totally unfair! I personally really enjoy your story, I like the fact that the characters are a little OOC, because it will later show how much character development they have gone through. I like your story, because in the real world the main 'characters' don't always just jump right into their adventure together, they genterally have some background knowledge of each other, and that is what you are creating, and if people get angry because of that then they need to realize that life doesn't always go the way you want it to, and that includes the stories you read (holy crap that was a really long runon LOL). Anyway, kinda gong off on my own rant, but I can't stand ignorant people like that! Keep writing your story how you see it, I think that you are doing a great job, and I can't wait for the next chapter!!!

aka starwindess

I can't believe people wrote you that I for one love this story its very well written in my opinion anyone should be proud to have such an original story and you shouldn't let what they say get to you its a good story its your imagination and a fanfic you can write it however you want I didn't notice any spelling errors and thats not very common I quit reviewing stories a while ago but yours is worth it the details are just amazing I could just hear Kagomes angelic voice as it flowed through the castle update soon itsa an amazing story and Mexico is beautiful isn't it I've only seen it once when I passing through in the semi with my uncle but what I saw was beautifu

I'm terribly sorry for the unjustly assault of bad reviews from reviewers who should not even be on this site to begin with. I'm surprised that 12 year old children don't have anything better to do than attack one of the most interesting fic and it's writer. This just shows that they are not mature enough to be a reviewer. Is possible to kick someone off A Single Spark if they are causing difficulties for the fic writer? Anyways, I sincerely hope that you will continue with this fic of yours. Regardless of what others say, I think that having Sess and Kags be out of character is not necessarily a bad thing because it's actually a nice change of pace if you know what I mean. I like seeing them in a different light... I like to think about "what if Sess and Kags were like this... what would happen?" You are one of the few fic writers who have been able to put into words the ideas that I've had floating around in my head. You done a great job unfolding an intricate tale that is done tastefully. I look forward to reading this masterpiece to the very end. Please don't let such hateful words prevent this fic from finishing.
(From a very dedicated fan) :P

I hopw you do continue your story, I found it charming and for one would like to read the rest of it.
From me "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK"

I always hate to see the absolute ingnorance of a flamer! I'm glad you are not letting those jerks bully you around.

For one thing, it's refreshing to see a new spin on our favorite chaacters. Your Sesshoumaru makes me laugh, I enjoy him so much. Dark Kagome is something I enjoyed reading as well.

I can't wait for your next installment or the other two parts in your trilogy. You have my support.

I was so disappointed that this wasn't another chapter. (LOL) But in response to your note and some encouragement, I absolutely love YOUR story and that's what people should keep in mind is that it is YOUR story. As I mentioned in an earlier review, it is completely unexpected and refreshing to read. I say that because it definitely pushed some emotional barriers with me and let tell you that's a feat. It honestly amazes me how many good writers are attacked for their work and not appreciated. I'm really happy you didn't and you won't let those reviewers affect your writing. I really appreciate you putting your work online, I know it takes a lot to put yourself and your work out there to be reviewed. I hope you continue your great work of art! Goodnight!

great chapter...
have a good time in mexico

great chapter...
have a good time in mexico

I don't feel bad for what Sesshoumaru did to Kagome. She needs to learn humility, it's apart of her character growth and its a little bit of karma as well. Although, I wish Sesshoumaru's character was a lot better, the complete appeal about Sess is his untouchable-ness (in regards to power and personality). This guy is just dork and completely plain.

This is a wonderful story and I really enjoy reading it. But in all honesty it is Sess/Kag in name only. Neither character remotely resembles or contains any elements of the true characters. The whole intrigue to Sess/Kag are their personalities, his stoic/aloofness and her kindness and fiery temper. I do plan to continue reading your story because I like it but I don't think its a true Sess/Kag.

I really like your story a lot. It was completely unexpected. Just a few things though, you use "send" when you should use "sent" (this is from the earlier chapters), "seized" when you should use "ceased," and "been" when you should use "being."

yay!!
another awesome few chapters
thanx again for the update
lol...seeshomaru was so mean, but i still luv him
neways
update soon please

thanx

I really love how this fic is turning out. I never expected Kagome to be more accepting of youkai due to her upbringing. I love how she's acquired new friends that will love and protect her. I wonder if Sess will ever apologize to her. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to reading more on what u have in store for everyone. :P

I'm excited to read the next chapter. but have fun in Mexico until then! ;)

If i can make a sugestion i would like to see a little more phyco-miko again have her strip a youki of his dn energy turning him or her into a regular animal in front of alot of other demons

I just read the whole of the fic (so far), and I wanted to you know that I really enjoyed it. I also like the fact that there is an actual story being built, and the main characters are not thrown together after the second chapter. It makes it seem much more realistic. I look forward to reading the next chapter to see the reactions of both Kagome and Sesshoumaru. Keep up the good writing!!

great story, lovvvvvvvvvvveee it...
sessh is so clueless, sheesh

This is such an epic fic... the likes of which i've never seen before. U never disappoint ur readers and for that, I would like to thank you. I haven't enjoyed a fic like this one in such a long time. Keep up the good work and hurry w/ the next chappie :P

wow those chapters were just as amazing as the previous, if not more

thanx for the eamil, and really appreciate the update
this story has a really amzing plot, and i can't wait until you update again
thanx and please update soon

This is an epic tale just begging to be finished. I look forward to finding what Kagome really is and what u have in store for her. Keep up the good work and hurry w/ the next chappie :P

Wow, I wonder if what you are going to have Kagome do to Ujio.

I absolutely loved it. When I got to the last chapter I felt dissapointed because it ended. Although, I have three questions, who is Ujio's father? Does Kagome have some type of demon blood in her, and did her father have anything to do with her destroying the village? One last question is Ujio the boy from the village? Sorry if I ask to many guestions. I hope you update soon, and that I know you are a good writer because I would usally skip stories that involve sequels, or any other story that is an on going series.

wow...this is an amazing story it has depth, intrigue, an actual plot, and wow i love it

your writing is so descriptive and the way you build up the personality of a character is just amazing
wow lol

please update soon

hmmm.....very interesting. I do hope you update soon

Hey, great start. I really enjoy the detail; I can tell that you took the time to plan out the pieces of your story. I really look forward to reading more.

-gf :)
