I don't know how why I haven't come across this story before (special thanks to the Dokuga awards and the person who nominated it). Incredibly romantic, historically accurate (I can't begin to thank you for potraying the geisha/maiko responsibilities and attitudes properly ), and an interesting storyline with the shikon jewel (and all its issues) thrown in. Yep this is now on the good ole favorites list. I loved every chapter.

Miss Teak!!!  I miss you and this story *cries*  I can't wait to see an update, hope you're doing well!

WAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! It's been a month!!!!!! 0.0 I've re-read your fic a bunch of times allready because I couldn't help it!!!!!!! It's SOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!!!!  I really can't wait for next chapter...not to rush you or anything * is rushing you* jking! I understand that you have a life other than fanfic... *sigh* I'll just have to wait.... =(.

There was one thing I would like to ask though. How accurate are you trying to portray the Japanese world within your story? I've noticed you paid a lot of attention in keeping it realistic and I guess the word would be traditional? in how it would be like back then. I'm asking this because I thought it would be more serious if the geishas or I guess maikos um.....slept with other men who were not their dannas....because it would lower them? Even with clients it is an iffy situation? Although I'm not too sure about this....After the third time of re-reading your story I remembered some things from reading this book. Didn't maikos have this ceremony or something in which....I think potential dannas place a bet or maybe it was more like an auction...anyways the maikos....I guess "innocence" is basically auctioned off and whoever pays more gets to be her first? 0.0 I have no idea how accurate these things are I just kinda remembered it and wanted to mention and ask about it....

I usually don't do the whole romantic mushy stuff... but I think I'll make this one expection to that rule. I really liked how you went from the japanese tea ceremony into a smooth transition to something like the waltz. I wonder if Kagome will find the shikon jewel and figure out why her powers don't work at Hanaka. What will Sesshoumaru's reaction be when he finds out Fuji's true identity? Will he accept both Fuji an Kagome?  Keep up the good work and update soon :p

It always amazes me that people can tangle themsleves up in the kind of deception that your Kagome has. It's simply not in may nature to do so, so I find it facinating. You gave her the knowledge that it would back fire and it'd be worse when it did, but you had her persist anyway. I find her logic for persisting faulty through the whole thing but interesting.

LOL. I would have ended up revealing myself as soon as Sesshoumaru saved me. But now I wonder: are you going to make it a 'great betrayl' as everyone assuming is comming or will you go off the beaten path and make Sesshoumaru reasonable once he finds out Fuji is Kagome?

I think you did a fantastic job on this chapter!  It was so romantic and bittersweet, I feel so bad for Kagome; having that secret I can tell is eating her up inside :(  I just hope Sesshoumaru can forgive her! 

Thank you for this lovely bit of fluffy romance, it was very enjoyable!

Awww....love the fluff.  They are perfect for each other.  I hope you'll update soon...I can't stand the suspense! 

That was beautiful.  Poor Kagome the internal turmoil she's going through is actually breaking my heart.  And I have nothing to do with it.  LOL.  You really grab us and throw us into the stories with the characters.  Forcing us to feel their emotions.  And if not "us" then you sure as hell do it for me.  I loved these last two chapters.  I'm almost scared that Sesshoumaru won't take the news of her actually being Kagome so well since he's falling so hard for Fuji... and a part of me is hoping that he takes it better than we all think he will.  Either way we will find out eventually when you update again.  Until then I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat as usual.  You dear, are awesome and write so beautifully.

awww. it is very romantic! I wish that they can stay like that forever. Endless waltz is a perfect title for this chapter. There is the question about y there is a 3/4 finished shikon in Sesshoumaru's castle and is there a fake kasan. I look forward to your next chapter. Please update soon.

The chemistry between the two is beautiful.

You and your romantic writing get me all mushy gushy inside! :)
