oh...
this puts a very good perspective and all!
great job...

OH, that's awesome! ...I can't even articulate how I feel as I just finished reading this (but I'll try). Superb. Freakin' perfect, and that last two lines totally define the story and set it apart from others.

beautiful. I love the end, how it was never really sasuke at all. Ino isn't one of my favorite characters, I don't really think she has much character depth, but this is nice. You've given her a character that suites her. I've always thought of her as shallow, and you showed that, along with her rivalry with Sakura and how she wanted to beat her by saving Sasuke where she couldn't. And then winning against him, and not giving in to the person she admired. I love how it just breaks her illusion of how she wanted it to be, how she wished it, with the fact that there was nothing to win, nothing to save in the first place. As much as I'm happy Orochimaru didn't take over Sasuke, sometimes it's nice to play with the idea. Thanks for making me think about Ino like this. It's a nice change from plain dislike. She has depth here. Good writing. Nice ending as well. I've read many stories that are good, but they fail to sum it all up with a decent ending. There is a nice theme here "no one can find what's not there." ^^ okay, done babbling now. ^^

It seems more anti-SasukeIno than SasukeIno to me. Maybe it's just the theme, although your style of writing is brilliant. I loved the description, and it made for an interesting story. Nice job.

...I'm in awe, here. Brilliant.

While it was practically plotless and there were a few grammar mistakes, I couldn't help but notice you're a good writer. You seem to have some kind of... poetic... writing style, which I find to be pleasant and rare. Because there are some poem-ish elements about it, my heart started to flutter ever so slightly while reading the first half. But then the story got angsty. And then it sunk.

I envy your writing style. You manage to control the readers' emotions, but it's subtle. It's not, "Oh, my God, I'm in tears!" emotions, but rather "Oh, that's so sad..." emotions. And I've found that not many people can do that!

Kudos to you and your awesome writing style, and this awesome fic right here. (I loved that last line, by the way.)

That was... terrible.

that was really great... i loved that it was from someone else's POV...most ppl would have done it in Sakura's POV...don't get me wrong Sakura is my fave character...its just nice to see it done by Ino instead...anyways...it was very nice...i loved the last sentence... No one can find what’s not there.
i liked that line since its really true...I'm out...

Oh I like it. Granted, I've said that about all the stories I've read of yours so far, but hey, I'll say it outright - you're a good writer.
The way you wove the past in with the present was seamless and added to the piece tremendously. Sasuke's character fit perfectly (sad as that is, heh). And you wrote Ino(!) which I respect muchly. And the ending sentences were just right. I couldn't imagine a better finish.

Sorry for the cluttering of your inbox,
Sakura

Sad... but so well done.

Amazing. Sasuke is such an **. XD
You captured them well. Keep writing!

I liked the ending statement... Though I'm not a very big fan of Ino, sadly. This was a very nice piece.

TT_TT why cant there ever be more romance between the two in fanfics? :sob: i heart the two together and iw sih there wuld be something more like them actually kissing would proove something...oh well i'll just keep searching...later

OH wow oh wow oh wow! There are more Sasuino fans than you think. I really liked this... her thoughts seem so real here. I think you hit her character on the dot. Both characters were perfectly written. wonderful job! made me happy!

That was... sad... I think I've been reading too many angst fics lately... ^^
But this is a really wonderful and beautiful fic... My heart practically winced when i read the last sentence.
Keep going and write more! =)
