I like the dynamic between these three. I like stories that acknowledge the Issei/Sakura pairing, but I also like what hangs between Issei and Jinpachi. This was a nice way to blend the two ideas. It would be good to see this expanded into a longer story.

Issei is my favourite character in PSME. So many times I wish I could smacked Jinpachi for hurting him unintentionally. I like Shuzuran/Sakura too cause she was so nice and really cares for her friend. She just the best friend that everyone would wish to have. It's good to know that she could comfort Issei and gave him a feeling that he was loved and needed. Good story really. Uhm, maybe you could add another chapter/a sequel about what Jinpachi thinks aboout Issei with Sakura. Cause it's kinda hanging in this story.

* wags finger * this sounds like there's going to be a sequel!
i feel sorry for shusuren/sakura. she doesn't deserve to be played by issei! but i support issei/jinpachi, but jinpachi's being a jerk...as always...please write as sequel!
anyways, i'll be posting up a psme fic soon (how soon i don't know) its Issei/Jinpachi too!
