I liked this expand version more than the other (but of course, since there was more to read).

And I liked the fact that Sesshoumaru was unwilling to give ANYTHING at this moment in time. How could he with Kagome still tearing through her own memories--which he is reliving along with his own emotionally stunted pain?! The girl pushed WAY too hard, if you ask me. She was making headway and then fell on her face!

Hopefully next time, she will do better....
