JYESS, I STOLE TIME! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!! ... *ahem* In other words, I'm very glad I found some time to read this! And I know EXACTLY what you mean by writer's block. I had THE WORST case a while back. I actually just got over it a month ago, lol. Anyhoo...

ARGH! I want to just strangle that unbelievable Hasu! I can just see and hear her sultry yet truly menacing voice and contemptuous looks... I want just want to scream at her! It makes me so angry to read about how she thinks Sesshomaru likes her better and how horrible she is being to Kagome. Oh, poor Kagome!! Things will get better in time! (hopefully!)

And that Oka! *gasps* To be honest, she is scaring the hell out of me right now! I honestly can't even take a guess about her motives, and the small hunches I have are probably WAY off. AH! You sneaky little writer, you! Wonderful chapter, despite the writer's block. If it ever happens again, I shall buy you Wisteria shower gel to give you InSpiRatioN! Tehe ;P

Great undercover work, Kagome! Fantastic job of writing, Miss Teak! Pls update as your muse allows.

Heey! First of all, I want to thank you for another wonderful chapter. (: I can sympathize with you about your writer's block and how difficult it is to overcome it. Just knowing you fought valiantly against it to present us with a continuation is proof enough that you haven't forgot us, your readers :D

Oh, back to the story....muahaha, Hasu is gonna have an horrid awakening right? Yeah, I don't like her. Eww. :P

Keep it up! I hope you get over your block and give us the next chappie soon!! :D

Another wonderful chapter.

Oka's starting to scare me, and I'm wondering what she'll try next to get the jewel. I can hardly wait for the next chapter.

ooooooo the plot thickens!  i'm going to LOVE seeing how Oka "makes" Sess patronize Kags again, and how she deals with Hasu about it.  can't wait for the next installment!  i'm drooling.

Miss Teak-chan! You dont know how happy i was to see this! Huge hugs to you. Oh and the videos of your trip? wonderful! Owl loved them as well.

 Thanks you so much for sharing!

nnnnnnnnnnnoooooo!!!!!!!! poor kagome, she is ssssssooooooooo sad. sessomaru is sssssssuuuuucchhhhhhhhhhh a jerk! but in the end it is all part of the plan. great writting :)

I acutally quite enjoyed this chapter. I think that all the time you spent on it was worth it in the end. I liked the way that you have Kagome still being human and even realizing that only so much can be expected from her. I really liked the way you portrayed Oka and her growing desperation. I like forward to seeing the inner workings of her mind and what this means for Kagome. Kagome has a lot riding on this plan...so much will be explained. I just hope she can deal with it. til next time :)

Oka was the either the female who almost killed her, or works for that female. so the plot thickens. I can't wait to see what happens next!

This was well worth the the wait. I loved it and cannot wait for the next chapter. There was so much underlying turmoil, and it was so beautifully written, I could feel every bit of it. Wonderful job, and I hope you can update soon.

Til next time!

CoS

Thanks for the update, loved it. But um, cos this is the feudal era, is there a reason Sess doesn't just grab 'Oka' by the throat and demand to know what is going on?

Hmmm... my guess is that Oka wants her youth back, or she wants immortality. If she's a human being. If she's a youkai, she just wants the power of the shikon.

Anyway. The wait was worth it Lass :)

Dewa mata

YES! An update! Thank you.. :D The latest chapter is making me excited for more... I hope Sess and Kag get back together soon. I'm getting affected as well Kagome's jealousy. LOL...

I cant tell you how excited I was to see a new chapter for Wisteria! Yay!

Ooo wicked, wicked  Oka >:l I dont like her at all! Hasu too, please tell me that Hasu and the other sr. geisha's (and Oka) get their's!

i knew it! but what i want to know now is, who oka really is.. what a twist. i hope nothing bad happens to kagome while sesshoumaru isn't there to save her. great chapter, can't wait for the next.

Oh my god! This story just continues to get juicier. Oka is starting to really freak me out. But I kinda expected it in a sense. Nice going on Kagome's part. She's becoming quite the detective. Although detective may not be quite the right word. I feel really pumped for the next few chapters. I've been dying to figure out the mystery with the Shikon and all that stuff around it since the first chapter of the story. And it's getting closer. Exciting!

I like how you used the hierarchy in the story with the older girls with more seniority and the younger ones. It was interesting to watch it unfold. Can't wait for the next chapter!

POOR KAGOME

SORRY I'M YELLING, IT'S BILLY MAY'S DAY SO I HAVE TO.

GREAT CHAPTER! I LOVED IT. I ELT SO ANGERY FOR KAGOME! I HOPE SESSH IS HANGING AROUND TO ENSURE HER SAFETY.

HE'S A GUY SO PROBABLY OT BUT A SESSH I'M HOPING HIS SMARTNESS WIL OVER RULE HIS MANNESS.

What an excellent surprise! Thank you so much for updating 'Wistera' I completely anticipated that you were going to continue with 'Happily Ever After' since you'd been on such a role! Argh, such cliff hangers!

As always so eloquently written! Thank you and continue soon!

nooooooo, cliffhanger ): I was really enjoying the story. I began reading two nights ago. Couldn't get myself off of the computer or my phone because of this story. I even abandoned my homework! Kudos to a beautifully crafted storyline. I can't wait for the next chapter. ♥
