    Finally, a big step into the right direction! I´m really glad for Sesshoumaru that she´s finally giving him a real chance to show her that he´s honest with her and his feelings.
    I´m curious what Rin´s role will be in all this mess. She´s always the "good" one so I wouldn´t mind seeing her as the "bad" one once or if she will succeed at all. You can´t fool a dog demon no matter if they trust you in a way or not. Great chapter!

    I loved how she went to the University of California, in San Diego. Is that where you went to school?

    Hey, emmaren
    You asked if any grammar buffs would review your story, and I have! Please email me for an edited copy of the first chapter!
    *note, I think the slow start could be remedied by starting the story with Kagome's catatonic state after she gets back home and talking about her trip to America, love, and loss as a cause to her current state.

    God, Kagome is really pathetic! When will she stop feeling sorry for herself? Can´t she see how much Sesshoumaru is willing to sacrifice for her? She´s a good little girl when it comes to her family but she fights Sesshoumaru in everything. This story is really well written but I despise what you´ve made with Kagomes character even if many asian women really are like you wrote Kagome.

    That’s a very subtile story, and I love the complicated relationships… Poor Sesshoumaru, he has his hands full with Kagome !
    Thank you very much for your writing.

    gaa, this story is SO painful to read. Your writing style is fine (actually above average), but it's the portrayal of Kagome as so submissive that sends me up the wall. I literally find myself cringing as I read each sentence, awaiting Kagome's repeated painful acceptance of her situation every time while still hoping that she'll finally grow a backbone and stick up for herself.

    Neverteless, I keep trying to enjoy the story because I generally like your plot and writing style, but it's so hard to enjoy the story when Kagome is letting sesshomaru walk all over her repeatedly. I find myself wishing she'd just run away, curse them all out (her mom, grandpa, toga, sesshomaru, etc.), go sleep with someone else just to spite everyone who's trying to commandeer her life, hell she could even attempt suicide if she finds it so hard to actually rebel given the social context -- SOMETHING other than continually submitting and allowing sesshomaru, her mom, etc. to think that the way they have treated her (and continue to treat her) is OK.

    A bunch of times during the story (so far) it seems that Kags *almost* gets the courage to stand up for herself - e.g. when she internally accepts that the way her mom dealt with the situation was essentially treating her like a commodity (or a whore as Kagome puts it) - but then she ends up backtracking and not really pushing the point home. (She does tell her mom she feels her family has treated her like a whore, but then she admits that she knows her mom loves her in her heart - OH NO! that totally takes all power out of her prior statement. Argh, it's so hard - I really WANT to like the experience of reading your story, but please please please I hope you're building up to a point where she finally explodes and gives the other characters what is coming to them!

    I have to admit that I'm having trouble liking this Kagome. She has some strong points but for me she's way too weak and almost totally dominated by just about everyone around her. I know she was raised under the old cultural tradition and never rebelled against it, but it still irritates me and makes me grit my teeth. I just want to take her place and start slapping the shit out of everyone. haha. I guess that's because I'm a very independent middle aged American female. Even though Sesshoumaru is trying to be nice and understanding at times, he still wants her for her power for him and his family and to dominate her in the end. I've always believed in a 50/50 relationship. I don't boss you, you don't boss me. I admit I've scared off a lot of men throughout my life with this belief and attitude. I just always considered them not worth knowing.

    Hey love the update. I love how you have her fighting with her family. I hope that we can see more interaction with Sesshoumarus family.
