Sad but believable. Realistic I'd say, even though people would like to think it's too tragic to happen in real life. My Grandmother has outlived two husbands and her life is no tragedy. Took me a while to get through the whole thing but I'm really impressed with your writing skills, good work.

*Sobs* That is so sad! I am not joking, you have actually made me cry *dabs eyes* But what a story! Wow! There are very few fanfics of that quality that exist, three in my books. Everything was just...wow...I'm actully speechless. Detail was incredibe, it was like watching a film unfoldinmy mind, I could see it that clearly. Grammar was all correct, as far as I could tell. The protrayal of characters...mind blowing..absolutely mind blowing. I completely adore the way you portray Sakura and Kakashi's relationship...it just seems so realistic. Thank you. Thank you very very much for writing this, it's a beautiful piece of literature (sp? oh wel =]) and incredibly well written you have a TON of talent.

This was the first KakaxSaku story I've ever read in my life. I was 14 back then, and since I'm not English, it took me awhile to read it all...and of course I had a lot of difficulties. I didn't understand the words, and often I had to jump to the following sentence without fully understanding the previous one.

Then I found it again after a couple of years. My skill had improved, my knowledge had increased, and I was able to read it fully. I cried a lot that time. It was winter, and I remember I cried so much that my eyes became red and puffy.

And here I am now...writing the same review I should (and would) have written years ago...in the past I was afraid to write something stupid or banal. Now that I'm 19 and that I grew up thanks to your stories (and the stories of the other amazing authors on this website), I'm feeling brave enough to leave a comment for this awesome story.
IT was BEYOND awesome. Even now, with my 19 years old I'm crying like a baby and I'm not able to stop the tears...

Thank you for writing this, Leafy. It was really, really beautiful. You have talent, don't waste it. Keep on writing like this!

YES! I finally re-found this fic! I started reading it, got maybe to chapter 5, had to stop reading...and had been unable to find it again until tonight. Every few months (and I'm not kidding) I'd think about it and I'd think, 'That was a good fic - why can't I find it?!' It drove me a bit nuts until I stumbled upon it again...probably two hours ago. I cried SO much when I was reading this fic. My eyes started welling up on and off at the half-way point, and then I'd start crying every so often, and then these last three chapters I think I cried almost all the way through. And that is a very, very good thing, because it's a sign of a very, very good fic. I'd like to congratulate you on the way you ended this, too. If there is such thing as an anti-cliche, it'd be this fic. I had no clue Kakashi would die, that she was pregnant (although once I knew Kakashi was dead, if I'd been thinking straight and could have stopped crying I probably could have guessed that one), and the pairings were unique too. Shan (whi by the way, I thought was going to be killed off as soon as her character was introduced) with Kiba, Genma maybe with Sakura - very creative. This fic is one of those REALLY good fics, where it just has that feel of real life to it, which is really hard to capture. Great job^10!

Simply incredible.

I absolutely loved this story, it's one of the few times that a death in Naruto, FF or otherwise, actually started to tug at my emotionless visage. It's very difficult to affect me in that way, but this story did it. Kudos to a masterpiece of literary goodness.

I will now go on to read your other Naruto stories, as is my wont, and if they are as good as this, expect many more happy reviews.

A thoroughly enjoyable read, keep up the incredible work. ^_^

Wow, this is really beautiful how they are progressing. I can completly relate to the sleeping back-to-back thing and I think it complements the story wonderfully. It's like they are acting like lovers before the actual act, and its really refreshing. The story line is incredible also, the weaving of themes and events, and mainly the way it's being told is truly masterful. I guess that's one of the main reasons that you are infamous in the naruto part of FF. :). You're like the Copy Ninja of FF! lol. Seriously wonderful writing. Do you also write on fictionPress, FF's sister site as well? I'd love to read original stories from you if you do. Though I have plenty of naruto/sakura/kakashi reading to catch up on too. ;)

you're cruel. cruel cruel cruel cruel cruel.
If I didn't cry so much from the emotions within this story I would hate you.
I know this is a fiction story. but oh my god. did you have to put her through that twice? once I get it. but twice? I would've killed myself if I were her
Nevertheless it's an amazing story. It touched me. I was actually quite literally sobbing. I know what it's like to lose someone you love, albeit not to this extent, but still. It's incredible how you've managed to capture it. bravo to you.

I loved it. good work. although.
would it be too much to ask for an alternate ending? sigh. this is going to plague me forever.

I cried constantly while reading this story. It was so beautiful! The characterization, the details, the plot..everything was brilliant.

I feel so sad for Sakura but happy as well. In short...I loved this story!!

You made me sob. SOB. I loved the story I love your writing I love all your stories. But you made me sob. Kakashi deserved a chance at normalcy though. Sakura getting pregnant was a nice touch. Ugh I'm still crying, that was horrible. In a good way of course. ha.

Absolutely heartbreaking. I pretty much bawled my eyes out the entire time.
I'm still having trouble staunching my tears as I write this review.
Having started reading this yesterday, I can tell you that I didn't stop until I finished it.
It was beautifully written with very few errors, most of which were simple typing mistakes.
Thank you for writing this emotional masterpiece :)

Today is a gloomy day in Budapest...

Before your story, I never read KakaSaku fiction. I can't read. Read lemon, no emotions make me tired. But this story is amazing.

It make me cry. I cry for Sakura.

Thank you.

Every time i read this story it makes me cry. it is truly a great story and it has a touch of genuine feeling in it that is hard to find in most stories i read... i wanted to let you know how much this story is appreciated amongst your readers. your writing is truly a blessing for people like us. :) thanks for this beautiful piece of art.

I'm crying so much right now. I've been crying for almost an hour straight reading this. I stumbled onto this while reasearching my new fav pairing KakaSaku duh, on . I saw a pic devoted to this so I started to read. This was so sweet and sad and even though I'm kinda mad you killed off Tenten, Hana, and even Kakashi *sniff* I really liked the ending. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever read. And I've been reading books all my life I've probaly read over 1,0! No lie. Also some people may think Anko was a *bad word here* in this story, but I got where you were making her come from. and why she was the way she was. Also I'm so happy Sakura had a little boy! I knew she would name his Kakashi. All in all this was the best story I have ever read...I even got yelled at my mom as she said "Get off the pc and go to bed!" It was worth it though. Also if you ever think about becoming a writer...I belive many people would love your stories...I'm trying to become a writer and I think you story just sparked my first true idea I've had in so long. So thank you. Also I get why Sakura belives in Fate. And maybe I do just a little too...no I think I do...there are pathways and many roads layed out if front of us all during our lifetime...but it's up to us to choose which road to take. I hope Kakashi knows he gave everything and more Sakura had asked for...one more thing before I shut up...Most people think that love with a 11-12 year difference *i did the math :P) is considered wrong in our socitey...but if it's true love, age dosn't matter...right? Don't worry I'm sure everyone loved this fic...even if it was a little dark! Be sure to keep writing like this for even if people hate it cause of all the death and saddness...as long as there is a little light left at the end of the tunnel...everything will surely be allright. Don't you agree?

Hiks, this is so sad but i really love it. Thanks for making such a beautiful fic. It makes me love KakaSaku more.

well done story. you are very talented.. I tried looking for your live journal link and i couldn't find it.. thanks again.. off to find another of your stories to read.
