It's great! I love the way you portray Sesshomaru and his relationship with Inuyasha. I hope you'll continue it at some point :)

I love your story it's awesome. I would like to know of how the villagers reacted to Sesshomaru telling them to take care if Inuyasha.

Wow... This was a very well written fic. You are amazing when it comes to write Sesshoumaru! I find this a very plausible story as to what happened between the brothers. I really hope you intend to continue it. Sure, it could very well end there, but I think there's room for more.

I really like this!

Cool!

That was depressing. Good, but still depressing.

Is there any chance of you continuing this?

Glad to see you've continued this fic, and looking forward to where you take this in the future. There are a few small typos, but overall good work.

I'll keep it simple. It's a good story with a great plot and you should definitely continue with it soon. There, done and done.

I love this story. Everyones in character and Inuyasha is very cute! It's hard to find a brotherly story about these two that doesn't involve yaoi.

I like this; it looks like the start of a string of vignettes. You have a nice style and manage to keep Inuyasha - and /Sess/ in character - no easy feat.

The start of the story made me happy. _ But then, I have a soft spot for that particular moment (Sesshoumaru finding out about his father's death). I also wrote about it, after all; nothing as long as yours, an angsty vignette.

The bit where Sess is asking Inuyasha what he knows about his father made me suddenly imagine a hypothetically estranged Inupapa encountering Inuyasha in the woods, rather than Sesshoumaru. Too many 'long lost father' stories, methinks. ;D

And the part where Sess tells Inuyasha that he isn't going to wait for him - that made me think, "Hm.. he used the line before meeting Rin!"

Some concrit, if you like:

When Izayoi encounters Sesshoumaru, I would have thought her reaction stronger if she thought he was Inupapa. Wouldn't she call him 'anata'? And would she so easily believe that he was not Inupapa based on his word alone? Wouldn't she want to look closely, see the differences? Wouldn't she know about Sesshoumaru as Inupapa's older son?

Also, I found a couple of typos that you might want to change:

- He raised his voice (first part), as opposed to 'rose'.

- "In your case, I'm afraid, it's the latter"

Hope that helps. _

Thats a good chapter, update soon, this is a good story.

Yay, a continuation! This was certainly a pleasant find in my inbox this evening...

As previous reviewers have said, the interaction between Inu-Yasha and Sesshô-maru is spectacularly done. Both are in character; we can see streaks of both of their personalities through your descriptions. Sesshô-maru is sarcastic ("I can die happy"), aloof ("I don't eat human food"), and yet there is something about him that makes him very... compelling, I suppose is the word I'm looking for. I love his development.

And little!Inu-Yasha is so naive. The part where he tried to remember if he told Sess his name made me smile. I like how he's still portrayed as feral, to an extent, but is utterly fascinated by Sesshô-maru nonetheless.

And the little details... why Sesshô-maru wouldn't tell Inu-Yasha his name... the scent of the dog demon that Inu-Yasha remembers... the ball... I do believe I've found my new favorite WIP. I can't see much drama or angst, as the category selector says, as of yet, but regardless, I would love to see more of this. (Your SessRin piece too sounds interesting.) 'Till later!

I really like this fic.I hope you'll update .

In case you don't continue this fic, let me just tell you how much I enjoyed it. The interaction between Sesshomaru and Inuyasha was so much fun to read. The dialogue was clever. I like the way you characterized them. And as someone who dislikes the nickname Fluffy, let me just say I loved the Gag Real, heh. ;)

Great fic, looking forward to reading more of your work in the future.
