Such a sweet and meaningful way to end this series. It's been pure joy following it, and I'm sad to see that it's over. You did a wonderful job, and I'd love to read more of your works. <3

Btw, love your icon. It really fits this entry.

! I didn't meant to imply that the series itself is over ~ only that this particular arc, which I've been building via prompts from this comm, is. There is still much to be explored within this universe; I already have an idea or two peculating in the background.

You did a wonderful job, and I'd love to read more of your works. <3

I'm glad to hear that you've enjoyed it =) You are more than welcome to my other S/K offerings as well ~ I love receiving thoughts/comments/speculations from readers. Sometimes you guys have insights that take my muses in different directions, haha.

Btw, love your icon. It really fits this entry.

The new anime is GOLD for Sess fangirls *sigh*

Interesting how they arrive at this point. To Sesshoumaru killing humans was once the same as stepping on a bug. Now his emotions are intertwined with Kagome's. Kagome has never killed a human being. She killed youkai without a second thought. Now she was forced to kill a man to save Sesshoumaru. It does cause her a great deal of pain to do so.

I think that, even if she doesn't regret the action, she would still feel remorseful about it. As you said, she's never killed a human before...and she never had the chance to defend Inuyasha when he was attacked.

Her reaction is telling on quite a few levels, but then, so is his :) That's why I'm enjoying this series so much; they both continue to surprise me. Glad to hear it made you think! :P

Sesshoumaru being compassionate is lovely. Kagome really is in a state - it makes sense that that would break him just a little bit. Combined with almost losing her and such. Her reasoning *doesn't* make sense, but I don't expect her to at this point.

Though I haven't (yet) read the series/arc, this is a powerful oneshot. The mood is intense and I adore Sesshoumaru's reactions, his attempts to comfort her while being his pretentious self. His dialogue is especially potent.

Thanks :) I love writing Sesshoumaru in a canon universe, he really fits, you know? He's very much a product of his time.

If you ever have the chance to read the series, I hope you do enjoy it. I think the longer entries do more justice than these little drabbles, since so much of their interaction is related to body language instead of actual language. (Oh, Sess, such a man of many words, LOL! :P)
