Damn.I felt evry word to my very core.This was well written and deep in tis analysis of the situation.I could literally place myself ther with them and feel what you wanted me to feel about this whole scenario.It was touching.This is one of the few pieces that actaully aim to captureInuyasha's crisis in this whole thing; going beneath what is plainly obvious and pulling out the conlfict he could truly feel regarding Kagome and Kikyo.It is brave in its delving into emotions that most ry to avoid in their writing and i'm thankful that I was able to read this.

I have read ALOT of the Inuyasha fan fiction on this sight, and while many people have good ideas, or are good writers, I have not found many great ones. This story is great, it is deep, powerful, and romantic. Thank you for shareing.

Wow! Where do I even begin? It was without a doubt one of the best Sesshomaru and Rin stories EVER.

This story is of a remarkably high caliber, clearly reflected in the smooth flow of events, the linguistic and visual techniques used and the characterization.

The conclusion was so poignant, and so incredibly sad that I could honestly feel my heart breaking.

This story was entirely beautiful, and truly epic, as is fitting of a story featuring Sesshomaru.

The language you used was vivid and so powerful-it literally made the characters come alive! It was simply marvellous!

Also, your attention to historical details is commendable.

There are few other things I can mention, other than to say I absolutely loved it!

This was excellent. I really hope that Inuyasha and Kagome do have a scene like this in the manga before the series ends. Because even though Kikyo is gone, Inuyasha STILL seems torn in between the two in manga. Something has gotta give with that. And I love thw way that you did it.

The addition to the line about the phantasmic 'soul collectors' gliding along with pieces of Inuyasha's soul was very well done, and I like how the removal of the hair tie became an important moment.

Lovely!

Oh, Fano, this is beautiful--a fitting tribute to Kikyou!

Read it again...loved it even more.

Huh. That was interesting.

~OMG~ Seriously, what is wrong with people for not even reviewing this fic? I read your wonderful one-shot on but trying to review on there is a pain in the **. Anyways, your writing style is eloquent without being overly tedious with five dollar words or flowery imagery. Kouga and Inuyasha pre-Kagome were done exactly as I would imagine them and having poor Kagome kidnapped by the two possessive demons (one with horrid breath and the other, well thinking she was the woman who betrayed him) was executed brilliantly! The whole Kouga bath deal, while kind of gross and making me see the sexy ookami in a new light, was definitely a nice touch. Thanks for posting this wonderful story!
