Wow... I must say, that when I read the first chapter of this, I HATED it. Somehow it just seemed to taint Inuyasha, but I kept reading on hoping that there might be some form of saving grace for Inuyasha. You do a good job depicting the scenes, including the emotional anguish that has to be there.

As tormenting as this story is, it is also enlightening. You are a magnficent writer. I would also like to see some work without the mental anguish.

Keep up the good work.

I don't know what enticed me to read this, but once I started reading it
I got sucked in by the freakish realism.
You have depicted the emotional aspect very well.

TY for sharing.
Now I’m anxiously awaiting S’more.

once again, an excellent chapter. i was snorting and giggling at how Kagura basically patronized/mocked Inuyasha w/ the whole "this is where you put this" *ROFL* damn, he came quickly for his first time.

I really like how you handled Kagura and Inuyasha. That was a good brief first session. I'm also happy that you opted not to give us a play by play description of Miroku getting knocked around and abused. Especially with Rin in the bathroom. It wasn't necessary for the story to read well.commcommend you on knowing when to give us hot details and when not to. Can't wait for Koga to enter. He has to be with Inuyasha and be really, really gentle. Then maybe he could request Kagura and give her a rough time. That I would like to see. Also, Koga could somehow know Kag and Sango and eventually help Mir and Inu escape this life and run off with Kag and Sango. (listen to me, Blah, Blah, Blah.) Anyway, can't wait for the next chapters.

Poor Miroku! *sniff* I'm glad you didn't put in the part where he was brutalized, me eyes were getting a bit watery just thinking of what he was about to go through. And Rin listening in the bathroom! I definitely would have been bawling. Miroku seems to be getting the short end of the stick a lot. Thank god for Rin! He deserves something good to happen to him, even if it's just something small. Oh, and thanks a lot for adding in Kouga in. I love that wolf and just had to see him somewhere in your fic. =^_^= I love this fic! Looking forward to the next chap!

I absolutely adore this fic. And it's definitely not because of the yaoi... because like you i have my problems with it. But, it's because of the confidence you have in your writing. You really bring across the feelings of the characters and their plight! It's such a great fic! I feel terribly for Miroku and Inuyasha, and I think even a little worse for Miroku since he has the problems with Rin and he had to go through a situation like... that... with his best friend! I just really want those two to find happiness in Kagome and Sango! But... now it's my time to whine (sorry! ^-^). i really love this story but i don't don't don't want Inuyasha to have his "first time" w/a girl be with Kagura! Ugh... i really hate her... ok, maybe i don't hate her, but it makes me cringe to think she'd be Inu's first! She's skeevy! LOL... but then again, it's your fic, so whatever you wanna do will be great! Good job on this i really love it and i hope you'll updaoon!oon!

Great story... I can't wait to see what happens next!

And I hope Kouga makes an appearance somewhere... but then, I'm one of those annoying people who thinks Kouga should be in EVERY story ;) *L*

This is extremely well written. It's depressing, yet it's fascinating. I can't wait to see more of Kagome and Sango here.

I was thinking I might stop reading this at the comment about homosexuality being morally wrong (at least you simstatstated it as an opinion, rather than tryto fto force it on the readers, as some might), but I was too into the story by then. Still, as a bisexual (who much prefers other females to the opposite gender), I was pretty offended by that. I hope you think no less of me for that; even if you dislike homosexuality, you should keep an open mind to it. However, I don't think that's too much of a problem, as anyone writing a piece like this has to be pretty open-minded.

This story is like cookie dough ice cream: It makes me feo heo heavy (hearted, in this case), but it's near addictive. I can't wait to see more.
