GAH! The anticipation is almost unbearable! Please let the ball drop--well in this case, the face paint-- long enough to get an ID. I don't think I can handle the suspense much longer. *sob* 

I'm having 'ohemgee-itis' right now. Everything is coming together in a tumlut of emotions, and I'm feeling helplessly drug along. I want them to have smiles all around, but there are a few barriers that keep hovering in the back of my mind: Hasu and Sesshoumaru's sensibilities at the forefront. Congradulations on firmly placing me in the same emotional state as Kagome. @_@ 

I eagerly awaite your next installment;

Thank you for sharing,

I'm so glad she went back to him!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was starting to get a lil upset about that lol. You're an amazing writer so keep up the excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAWWWW! That was beautiful!  I wonder how he is gong to feel when he figures it out though.

You cannot leave it like that!! AHHH! I am supposed to be typing two papers as we speak and your story captured me and wouldn't let me go. I admire your ability to write geisha so well. I'm a history student (trying to get into a good grad school now) and one of my personal studies has been geisha. When I first saw your summary, I was skeptical to say the least, and you proved me wrong. Very well written and CORRECT! Not to mention well researched. Great job.

Please write more soon!

At seeing that last line I had a image of sess washing her make up off to see if he could stir up his memories. I really enjoy your story and I really wish I had more a grammer nazi in me so that I could give a more meaningful review

Awwwww!  They are so sweet together ^-^  Oooo, when he finds out, I wonder how he'll take it????  Dun dun dun!  Fabulous job Miss Teak; fabulous!

I am so happy that you are continuing this story! I first read it on Single Spark before it (sniff) ended operations, and I have been waiting for you to update on Dokuga for a while.  I was so excited when I saw Wisteria on the updates list, and the new chapters I just read certainly didn't disappoint!

Kagome is being understandably reluctant to interact with Sesshoumaru again, but she should know all about his persistence from earlier encounters with him - how many fights did he and Inuyasha have over the Tetsusaiga? LOL.  Plus, she needs to realize that she doesn't owe Hasu anything anymore - Hasu doesn't respect the the sisterhood bond, IMO.  She's just using the bond to control Kagome.  Plus, does Kagome really want to expose Sesshoumaru to Hasu's obsessive nastiness?

Here's hoping that she will come to her senses soon! And here's extra hoping that there will be another update soon:)!

17- Happy chapter? Really, if that's your definition of a "happy chapter" I don't know if I can take something good going on. Goodness. Sesshoumaru looked like a kicked puppy, and I am hoping against hope that he doesn't say to hell with this before that third meeting comes about. On the other hand, I do like the portrayle of Kagome as an actress. Her determination to be 'adult' about the situation seemed to take a turn for the worse there at the end. I can see her confusion goes even deeper than just her Hasu/Fuji, Fuji/Kagome conflics. She has much to reconsile within herself; I wonder if Sesshoumaru, who seems to be having his own bisected personallity issues, will be a hindrence or a help when all of this comes to light. I appreciate the update.

16- While I like hearing about the main characters, you've done a wonderful job with the secondary characters. This paragraph in particular stood out in my mind:

"Yanagi remained deathly silent, remembering Kagome's earlier reluctance to discuss the topic of Sesshoumaru. Hinagiku simply yawned again and looked clueless as to what was going on, but Kikyou and a few other juniors like Himawari looked almost incredulous. Kikyou looked around the table and sighed, before turning to face Kagome."

Between this example and the lovely reintroduction of Jaken earlier, its very obvious that each of your characters are very distinct and indvidual personalities. I am rather fond of Kikyou's determination and Himawari's expressions. As always,

Thank you for sharing,

15- ooh. I knew that Kagome had fallen head over heels, but Sesshoumaru? Hm. This is a fun development. I'm curious to see how far this goes, between the both of them, before one of them gets fed up and explodes. I love the mention of InuPapa rolling in his grave! This chapter pulled at my heartstrings a bit. Kagome running off in the last chapter was sad, but to see that Sess might not be so callous to the idea of furthering their assosication- That made Kags cry fest a little more heartbreaking.

14- HI! Here I go begging for you to post, and then it takes me weeks to actually read and review. Sorry about that. :D Oh my, who knew Hasu would be so insane?! I expected a bit of jelousy, but to actually beat a little sister? I was taken aback. I am going to quickly move on to the next chapter so that I can see what happens next. Thanks again for joining the site and
