I desperately needed to review this.

When I read the part about Kagome getting raped, I started shaking. A dark feeling embedded itself inside my stomach and made me want to compulsively vomit. Then, when she got captured, and had the baby.. I started to cry.. And I hardly ever cry over anything.

One of my greatest fears is getting raped.. And another, getting pregnant. I wanted you to know how much I love this story and how much it has, and forever will, affect me and the way I think about things. I can't put into words what this means to me.. Word's aren't enough. I was very uncomfortable reading it at points, for it put this black hole in the bottom of my stomach and made me tremble. I am scared of very few things, honestly.. But this hit right inside my weaknesses. Inside my mind, I was put into the same situation, and when you informed your viewers at the end of your chapters about how many rapes occur in America and how many are pushed aside in Japan, I felt the same hopelessness and dispair as you described Kagome to feel. I could smell the green of the hospital, see the wrinkled pink and brown flesh of Tama, feel the mixed feelings of the joy of childbirth and the lingering sadness that the same child was created from something so evil. It unnerved me because it was real, and not just a fantasy story that I had intended to read in the beginning.. It could happen, and has happened.

I feel a true author surprises their readers and touches them in an unexplainable tangle of emotions and thoughts.. And that is exactly what you have done to me. You've taken something so quiet, something so horrible, and shoved it into my face for me to hear and see, and I wouldn't change it for the world. Rape to me used to be grey, something that I heard about and feared for myself, but never thought of as colored and real.. Until now.

Please continue this story, you don't know how much it has become to me.

Cool update. Well I guess they didn't really talk about where they were going to stay. I think Kagome would get along better in Inuyasha's time then Inuyasha will get along in her time. She wouldn't have to hide her miko powers and stuff. Inuyasha won't have to hide either. I know kind of selfish to take Kagome away from her time but she wouldn't have to learn as much and Inyasha. Plus if Inuyasha can't provide for her he will feel like he failed her and end up hating it in her time. I hope they can work something out. Update soon

wow. so, i should have gone to bed an hour and a half ago...but i kept seeing this fic on the web and finally was like, hey, i want to read something good. and good it is. you have a very well written story here; the sentence structure is well done and your characters are right on key. i have NEVER read about inuyasha ever doing anything as level as actually waiting until he was human to give Yukio a fair fight. honestly a great plot device. VERY well done!!!! i'm worried about how fast kagome dissapeared though. that's a little off...at least for now. but to be pregnant with her rapist's kid...that's harsh. i love how you haven't glorified the rape position. to many stories have i read that a girl has been raped and flees into another man's bed (namely inu's) to get over her 'trauma'. the being afraid and self hate...very well done. i want to pop miroku though for being all mopey...but it's understandable. damn. all together, VERY well done!!!!

LOL on the A/N how funny. Omg she having that bastards baby, poor girl, I know its not the kids fault, still that has to be hard a constent reminder. And now to be beaten by a slave driver, I loved how you tied Souta(sp) in. Question how did Kagome vanish?

This story is amazing, it has really kept me on the edge of my seat. I always look everyday to see if you posted. LOL

**sighs** If I weren't married, I'd offer to have your babies. ^_^ Soutassister pointed me at this story, and *man* am I ever glad she did! *God*, but this story *rules*! All too often, rape in fics are handled....less than realistically. It's *so* nice to see a story where it *is*. The slow build-up was, I must say, well done. I just...heck, where do I start...LOL Inuyasha's reaction, before and after Kagome got raped, have been *so* spot-on. Kagome's reactions in general -- from starting to date Yukio to begin with, and going from there -- have been, too. Poor Miroku though, I just wanna hug the stuffings out of the poor guy. It has to hurt, that Kagome doesn't trust him anymore, and actually acts *afraid* of him. I think that Inuyasha is right though, that Kagome is skittish around Miroku because of his letcherous tendencies. I'm actually a bit surprised though, that Sango hasn't tried comforting Kagome after one of her nightmares. Although Sango probably doesnt' have a *clue* on how to go about doing such a thing. [trust me, I sure as heck didn't the time I went on a trip with a friend and *she* had nightmares about when she was attacked....] And when Inuyasha went after Yukio...and he tried stabbing Inu with the glass.....I'm afraid I chuckled a bit and said "he's had a hole punched through his stomach, boy, try again." That Inuyasha had the foresight to go after Yukio on his human night though....heh. It did surprise me a wee bit, but only because he kept a far more level head about it than I would have. I mean after all, had he gone as a hanyou, then there was the risk that his hat would have gotten knocked off, or he'd have gotten carried away and actually killed Yukio.... Better that he beat the sot up as a human. ^_^

Although...evil *evil* cliffie!! Will *definatly* be looking forward to more!!
