Thank you for reviewing chapter 24! They're such an awkward duo, aren't they? I enjoyed torturing them immensely, and the morning-after scare was too good to resist.

You should really make a trip to HK for the amazing food! I practically ate my way through, and I don't think there's bad food in HK.

LOL I love cute little goldfish and koi fishies too! It's really quite relaxing to just sit back and watch them swim around.

Anyway, I've actually uploaded a new piece of fanart titled Shanghai 1930. It's a preview picture of my next long story (which will come after Wisteria and Happily Ever After ends). I'd be really honored if you could take a look at it.

LOL the food pics make me really, really hungry too...*stares angrily at them*

Speaking of the fish, yes, it really is named Fatso! LOL. Believe it or not, I used to call my goldfish Fatso and Big Bomb because they were sooooo huge. HAHAHAHA. I was a terrible little girl.

*Looks at email inbox and GASPS!* OMG Ruri you are awesome!! Awwww. *touched* Thank you so much for those fantabulous reviews They made my day and totally motivated me to write more. Thank you sooooo much, midear!

Ohh dear you don't have to feel bad for it! I understand being caught up with real life and so on. Take care!

Sorry for the delay hana kimi is LOVE.
Lol.

And I'm sorry for the delay. Some family health problems going, which delayed my updating.

haha don't worry about it! you're busy and still have a busy life/schedule going on =) take your time. going on dokuga should be for fun and not a chore! which sims are you playing? =P that game is too damn addictive for it's own good. that's why i'm staying away from all those rpg games and stuff like cafe world/restaurant city on fb XD

HAHAHA. DAMN RIGHT! hmm...i have no idea..his father is kind of a pretty boy too. they're all VERY pretty even down to naraku. he IS hotter XD i dont noe...maybe because we actually get to know him? inupapa made a 2 min debut and promptly ceased to exist XD besides that pt...there ARE inupapa fandoms

LOL. english is very complicated. VERY easy to be misinterpreted. it's even worse with cantonese. a SLIGHT change in tone means a completely different word. this is why i rather read. it's harder to misunderstand when you have the words right in front of you. that is very true. i ingrain a certain voice with a certain character. this is why when i hear english dubs, it bugs me A LOT

reborn is alright. my friends have told me that it picks up after chapter 60. totally. but it has taken me three weeks to get to ch.60 because each chapter is a separate storyline so you dont feel an addictive urge to go back to read. after ch.60, a plot emerges so i'm actually reading a lot fater now. HAHAHAHA. really...wat is 07 ghost about? maybe i should go check it out =D that's why if i have a choice, i read manga FIRST then go to the anime. exactly..that's why i'm not bothering to go back to inuyasha manga...they zapped it on onemanga though =/

LOL. i'm doing some major bashing here. i blame it on the bad weather we had before =D HAHAHHA. but i think you'll be fine with the people i chose to bash. this is a dokuga aka sess X kag fanclub so it should be alright

I KNOW. i feel like i want to die when i read something and then find out that it's not done..so i always make sure the story is done before i read it. just like kuroshitusji, it's still going on. someone just got killed and they were at the point where the murderer is about to be uncovered and the mangaka decides to hang us with a cliffie XD READ THE MANGA FIRST. then go to the anime. the anime branches out from the manga after the third arc or so. i'm debating whether to watch the kuro II. it's a completely new pairing. i'm not sure how i feel about that because i absolutely like the ciel and sebastian dynamic

LOL. it DOES! beautiful people/things make us all happy =)

oooooh. very nice. i haven't formally declared my major yet but I'm planning to do a major in myth and literature of the greece, rome and the near east and minor in near eastern studies. *phew* it's a long title =P this is actually a brand new degree in my university and i'll be studying mythology..religion and literature. in fact, the department itself is so new that we dont have a building yet! XD i guess the solution to that problem is to go watch..MORE ANIME! =D

it doesnt hurt if it's on sale...and you never know when you just might need it! my sis LOVES to come raid my closet whenever she has a formal/semi formal function going on. i completely got suckered. this place had panties 7 for 30..i bought them..then they had 10 for 30..bought some more...then they had 12 for 30..i already bought all the styles so i gave up after that XD and we just had the introduction of hst..a new 12% tax. it's driving me insane...i'm going to have to go down to us to do my shopping now!! XD

LOL. i know...they do something and forget about it -.-" maybe you should change their food. what our vet suggested was to soak 3/4 of the dog food to slow them down when they are eating. we have special treats for certain occasions but we usually just use her kibble

haha. for sure. my best friend/beta thinks i'm evil XD i'm offing people right left and center at the moment. i'm getting her to clean it up so it doesnt turn into a bloodbath XD LOL. zee god complex! how can you not find like god when buildings and natural disasters are one click away? in the first version of sims, i used to unleash godzilla on my city for the LOLs XD

Awwww Ruri, thank you for your wall post and the lovely reviews of Happily Ever After! I was soooooo happy and honored when I saw the long and heartfelt reviews.

You're definitely welcomed on the review of "The Glass Wall"; I was simply being honest when I reviewed it. The feelings I had for your lovely oneshot just flowed into words and I had to type it all down to tell you how I felt. You should really do more of these stories, because you do them well. It'd be a shame if your talents are wasted.

I am glad you like Happily Ever After! I love writing it; it's SO MUCH FUN!

Youre right! Its not the last of Kouga lol! And Sesshomaru and Kagome, well, they will have a bit of awkwardness coming their way very soon, lol.

no worries about it at all! i know you're very busy so dont cut back on sleeping time or whatever to just to reply me! maybe you need a bit more sleep or a kick of sugar? XD

I KNOW. first appearance i was like...WHOA. who's this sexy beast?? i didn't know that he was quite literally THE SEXY BEAST BUT YES. i found it really interesting that they put in the hair flip. it's more of a feminine gesture and throughout the whole manga/anime sess has been trying to prove that he's a bigger badass than his dad. AKA how manly he is XD yep. sesshoumaru is self explanatory. even my friends who arent into guys where like SESSHOUMARU! *SQUEAL!*XD


HAHAHAHA. i was pretty into them and then it slowly toned down. their songs are pretty good and it doesnt hurt that the guy are pretty hot. well..as hot as you get when they're real living people XD it's funny =) and the sad thing is that ONE english phrase is the only one i can sing along with until i have listened to the song enough to remember the other parts XD that is true. if you read enough subtitles, you do it automatically. like when i finished the anime (orig 166) i went on to finish the manga. my brain instantly supplied the theme songs and the character voices. it was pretty awesome XD

YEP! after he watched everything, i bugged him to hook me up with the complete final act. it was fantastic =D APPARENTLY. i am kind of tempted to read the manga from being to end but there's 560ish chapters...maybe when i'm really bored in class XD i'm supposed to be reading Reborn now but it's hard for me to get into the series when i'm used to reading/watching stuff with AT LEAST ONE VERY HOT GUY. i dont know if you've watched ranma but the plot is just as crazy as that. my friend says that a solid plotline will start around ch60. well..i'm around 42 so i'm sitting in chapter limbo right now -.-" i try not to character bash but i have to say that i'm going to say that i'm going to be throwing inuyasha around quite a bit XD it's not that i dont love inuchan..it's just that....i need a scapegoat XD


i know! it's nice =) everyone needs a bit of love! i havent gotten into reading any fanfics ever since i started my own. generally..i cant read it unless it's done. i would go INSANE. just now, i've been itching over a month because the idiots in japan havent put up the translated chapter for kuroshitsuji. I WANT TO KNOW WHO KILLED THE HOT GUY! XD

no it doesnt but you are more sympathetic and more forgiving if there is AT LEAST ONE HOT GUY. dont worry about. there are things called EYECANDY. some people are just so hot that you cant help but appreciate them =) and yes....i do get the shallow feeling but whatever. enjoy life iT"S EYECANDY =D makes the world a better place XD XD XD

oh boy. that's like me then XD some of my classes are offered once every two years and only have one class in one of the semesters. thats why if i dont make it in, i'm going to bug my advisor to squish me in XD it's good that you are all set up. i want to hurry up and register for my courses already. i'm itching! just use those general requirements to fill in the blanks then =) what are you majoring in?

HAHAHAHAH. same with mine. we're still working on it XD it's not that my dog doesnt know the commands and what not to do..it's just that she CHOOSES not to -.-" i told you that i had a princess...IN A LAB. pah. my family is so hooked. i know..makes me wonder if the malls put something in the air to make you feel like spending all your money -.-" it's like i dont NEED more clothes but i can't help but buy more because there is a huge sale or because that top was oh so pretty! XD yep..i'm not letting myself into a mall until i go down to LA this july XD see..you're a closet shopaholic. i'm a blatant diehard shopaholic XD i need to find a shopaholics-anonymous

done that before too XD sometimes my dog yelps...sometimes she just stares at you and wonders why that the hell you were apologizing/overreacting. dogs just...go wherever they want. they dont CARE if you're already standing there XD oh no! a diet?! that's not going to be fun =( *cough* maybe cut down on the treats a bit?

i TRY not to play God. i was working on AM last night. my friend has just warned me not to get "drunk on the dark side" XD who knew that i was the living walking example for so many tv tropes -.-" i should be worried XD

thank you =) i'm glad that you're enjoying her interactions with both her parents. it's sometimes weird when I write for Kagome to have a mother in one fic and a father in the other one. still, i try to keep everything fresh and new =) and of course! torrid romance novels should be recommended for mature reading =D
