Great Stories. It was so intresting. Make more. I really like them.

Aw...What a sweet ending. Although at this rate, with their extended lifespan and obvious fertility, I'm guessing Kagome and Inuyasha will end up with double digits in kids...Hehehehe Mrs.Higurashi's going to be one happy grandmother...It's a nice ending, but I almost feel confused...I got the impression that this was about how evil is never really expunged from the earth, and while this does not mean that you should despair, it does mean that you must always be ready to fight, always ready to answer the call 'Soldiers in a Timeless Battle' indeed. This epilogue leads me to believe that I was incorrect. Oh well, I'll believe what I want, it's not like I can't interpret things the way I perceive them (and already do anyway). Good story, nice job with Sukiono, he was a very different villain than Naraku or Ted Wilkins, and you handled him well.

Hehehe...Nice. I always enjoy stories that break with the conformist attitude of school and education and career being of the utmost importance-people forget the goal, and if you'll humor me to say it, the meaning of life, which is to be happy. You go to school and get a good education because that is almost completely required in order to have a good career, and a good career is almost completely required in order to have the money to provide for yourself, and any family you might have, thus keeping you happy. But those are the means to the end, not the end itself, and many forget that. Thanks for being one of those who remember.

Interesting...So he's reverted back to who he was as a child, that part of him being the only part uncorrupted by Naraku...The way he treated Kagome was becoming more and more like that of a child to a mother as this progressed, but I never noticed until it was pointed out directly...I suppose Kagome's nature brought the childlike part of him out, and her arrow purified all the rest...Good sequence with the action, and handling of dialog, especially Sukiono's-his insanity and conviction was almost surreal in the end, but isn't that how it should be? Nice climax in general, and good job keeping it going with this plot twist.

Hehehe back to cliffies again are we? I love the juxtaposition between the tense, tragic, terror-filled atmosphere that comes with Sukiono's presence, versus the amusing sweet familiarity of Inuyasha and Kagome and their friends...It brings out the differences all the more to mix them together like that. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Yeah...You're really making me regret never having read Romeo and Juliet right now, you know that? My English teacher that year hated this play, so we read Titus Andronicus instead...Not exactly a romance, let alone fluffy. In fact, it's downright disgusting at times, kind of like Sweeney Todd meets Ancient Rome if you know what I mean. I enjoyed Inuyasha's introspection, and weirdly I wanted a cookie during the scene. Unintentional subliminal messaging? An unconscious desire to enter the scene myself, to dispense my own advice or share my own troubles, in hopes of a similarly wonderful resolution? Or was I just hungry? That is the question...Yeah, a lot of figurative language tends to have weird effects on me...

Wow...As soon as she touched Sukiono, I was thinking 'No, no, no, Kagome, you baka, what the hell do you think you're doing?!'...But I never expected it to come out quite so...tragically really. It seems that nothing ever goes right for them, does it? The way it seemed, that was exactly what he'd always feared would happen, that he'd finally admitted to fearing in the last chapter-and now look what happens...The last few paragraphs of this were masterful, I admire your skill in portraying Kagome's reaction greatly. It was so sincere, so raw, so torn and full of pain and love and pity and despair, and it just made every bit of this story worth reading so much more, just to read that part. Kudos to you.

Yeah...She was kind of asking for it, I mean, he knows she goes to her time through the well, and when Inuyasha is gone, so why wouldn't he take the opportunity? Not really a surprise for me, except that he didn't reveal himself earlier, and then only at her instigation, and when he did, he was nervous. Either he's got a deathly fear of Inuyasha now, or he, in his own twisted way, feels guilty for spying on her, or wary of her own powers, or, or or...Well, his manner of calling attention to himself was intriguing at the very least.

Very well done...I never thought about his jealousy and reasons for it in depth before, but this explanation and analysis works wonderfully, I can't find a single flaw in it. It just...makes so much sense, because you know he isn't stupid, that he realizes other guys treat her differently, and that he's always been so possessive of her, (and she always takes it as if he doesn't trust her to love him, as you expressed well in here), but that he trusts her enough that when Naraku tries to trick them it doesn't work; he trusts her more than he trusted Kikyou, that is clear. They're fine lines and subtleties between the two explanations (Inuyasha's and Kagome's), but they make all the difference in the world. You capture them well.

Good sequence, and interesting summarization of the plot twists...By having Kagome realize it so coherently, it is emphasized in the mind of the reader as an issue that will continue to play a role, a sub-plot of its own. The plot is clambering up, slowly but surely, here gaining in a burst some valuable extra feet, but only with the knowledge that the path can only get steeper.

Nice...I have to say, I'm really enjoying the Kagome-Kikyou interactions you've been putting in, they come out so well, and they're so intriguing and thought provoking! It's always a delight for someone to capture Kikyou's character to me, it happens so rarely, but to capture the relationship between her and Kagome is rarer still, and I think you've done an admirable job of it here.

Nice, very nice reconciliation between the two of them. You know that Kikyou's smart enough to figure out some things, but there's always the question of how much she does realize, or rather, is willing to admit to herself, about Kagome's position because of her. Kagome is actually very understanding, for all her assumptions and fears and emotion-driven thoughts and opinions. It's interesting what paradoxes the two of them are in regards to each other-you reflected that well in here, I never really thought about it much before. Nice insight.

Ok, very well done, it's just the syntax of the last sentence that bothers me. It's very confusing to know when she's thinking and when you're describing; italics or quotation marks or hyphens or something would be a lovely thing to help make that comprehensible.
Other than that, I enjoyed Kikyou and Kagome's discussion very much. But I also think that Kikyou is in the wrong here-it may be of a different kind, but Kagome's gone through just as much pain as she has-or has she forgotten Ted Wilkins?

*Sighs..* MOre love triangles...Isn't this grand...No, I'm seriously kidding, if love triangles bothered me so much do you think I'd have been able to stand Inuyasha (the show, manga, etc.)in the first place?
I can't wait to see Inuyasha's reaction to this, or how this 'love' will play out. It's been building up to that realization with his actions and expressions and dialog, but to hear it put so simply brings it all down so hard around you...Can't wait to see how it all goes on from here...

Hell yeah! That's a great kick-in-the-derierre (don't think I spelled it right oh well) of a cliffhanger! Ah, I'm all of a quiver and a tremble to know what happens next!
Thanks for the scene with Jaken, it was quit unexpected, and the image will remain on my all-time highs list of humorous pictures...And Nancy was right, the purple really does bring out his skin, not to mention his eyes.
