So so sad those times where cruel, selling daughter to whore houses.  I don't care how fine they dress, they where whores.  Nasty lifes, no wonder they kill themselves or try to escape.  But it was a sad good story.

short, but sweet. quite an amazing storyline/plot. i like to read about past life stories, but people dont write about those so much. you did a great job writing this one. c'ya'

Even though I have read this lovely piece before I am very happy to have come across it again, For even though there is sadness there is also joy. I thank you for telling such a beautiful story and sharing it with us.

This story really is one of a kind, you brought to life the ugliness and beauty of an intelligent woman born into an unjust life. The romance and sadness expressed left me breathless, I really commend you on your creative excellence and raw talent. Thank you so much for gifting Dokuga with the story!

OK, normally into reading Inu/Kags, but once I saw the artwork for this at HF I just had to read, and I was not disappointed. You certainly know how to draw a reader in, I must say. Both beautiful and tragic the love story it is, and though only three chaps, you did a most excellent job in the telling. And I love that it ended on a high, the hapless romantic I am, hehe. Thank You for sharing such a wonderful story.

i must commend you on writing such a wonderfully beautiful and precious piece.  wow.  just wow.  ou are fast becoming one of my most favourite authors.  i can't wait to see what else you dream up.

Very lovely!

I LIKE VERY MUCH!!!!!! ...Tayu kags was so sad tho...

Woah, this is amazing too! luv luv luv!!

Woah... this story.... is so heartbreakingly beautiful... it really made me cry and smile at the same time. It's really impressive how you are able to paint such a believable world with words. It was like watching a movie through closed lids. Really espectacular!

Wahhhh! love it

Love the cuteness at the end to. Didn't leave me bawling my eyes out feeling sad. It's a bitter sweat story, people still died, but it had a happy ending. Very nice my dear!

Still crying like the fool I am, but I'm smiling. He is a good man.

omg that was so heartwrenching, gut wrenchingly sad. I'm just bawling over here

Doesn't help my fiance tried killing himself last month so this really plucked at the heart strings. Gods Sessh, why don't you save her?!

Guess it wouldnt be as awesome if he did. I'm assuming from your other story but uh omg. Greatness you!

You seriously need to update this one.... I have been dying to read what happens next for months.  That was such a mean, mean place to leave us hanging, woman!

Dear MissTeak! I just loved this story, oh so much! And I wanted to tell you that I made a fanart for it. Its on my dA account, though, so you'll need your own account to see it (I don't know if you have one).

If you do, this is the link to the fanart!

Wow!!!  I was crying their at the end. I love this story.

I have not read the lemon part yet, but this was a really lovely story. The information about the Oiran and the  Tayuu was very interesting. From the inside, it does seem like a miserable and tragic existence while those on the outside might see it as extravagant and glamorous. It was really thought provoking.

The writing was exquisite, and while I thought Sesshoumaru's portrayal was a bit softer than what I am accustomed to, I felt it was fitting for this particular story. Overall, very nicely done! I'll get to the lemon part eventually, but I need to be working on my own stuffs. XD You'll know when I finally read it though, I'll drop you a line or two.

TTFN!
