Cute how he got out of fully answering Kagome's quesiton of why does he care who her friends are!  It will be interesting to see Sess's reaction on the streets, not having people cower from him or treating him like royality.  Kagome may come home more exhausted than she does when she come home from fighting demons.  I like the last chapter when Kagome reminded him of his strength, telling him that his hands can rip through trees, Sess actually looked at his hands as if he just realized how strong he is.  I think Sess is just oblivious of himself and what he can do.  I don't think he really means to hurt Kagome physically, I think he truly dosen't know.  Am I right?  He is getting better and willing to pay more attention to his own actions.  I've been reading some of Snowbirds reviews I understand her completley, I married right out of highschool barly 18, to escape the verbal abuse in our home with my parents to eachother and to me, only to fall into a world of physcal, verbal and emotional abuse at the hands of my husband, who knew exactly, what he was doing.  He didn't need to look at his hands as if he didn't know what he was capable of, he knew.  I stayed with him for a year and five months.  He stripped me of friends and family, I had nobody, I left when I was 5 months pregant, nearly losing my baby due to him and lost some vision, I walked out of the hospital before he could come get me, and haven't looked back.  He found me right after her birth, I panicked and was going to run and refused, I dared him to come near us.  apparently he's not as stuid as I thought he was, he never came near, I just changed my number.  I'll be damned if my little girl grows up with that.  I haven't dated in 3 years and have no intension to. I'm doing good and so is my daughter.  One day I'll say yes to the many that seem to ask me out, just not ready.  Snowbird, use these stories to help you grow.  Don't be hurt or offended, sometimes another persons story can be your blessing.  I didn't want to say anything I don't want to offend the author, it's a story.  I appreciate these types of stories sometimes.  Thank to you Maiko Anna, for being brave to write such a story.  To see Sessy change like this, but he is nothing like a true abuser, he just truly didn't realize what he was doing.  That line when Kagome told him just how strong he really is got me and gave me hope for his future with Kagome and I do hope he will get past his stubborn pride and apologise to her.  I am not making excuses for abusers. Definatley not. I am truly enjoying your story and watching your characters constanly grow and develope.  I can't wait to see what other trouble, dense Hojo stirs up for himself.  That kid is unbelieveably dense and boring on the show and persistant as Kouga, I sometimes wonder if he isn't Kouga's reincarnation. (haha).  I truly love your story I check daily for update!  I hope all have had a Happy Thanksgiving!  Update soon. Write on!

Much Love
