Love this. Brilliantly written and heart wrenching. Stunning!

Are you going to update Homecoming and your other stories at some point, or have you moved on from Naruto? =) Hope you will continue!

This was a really beautiful oneshot. I like how you portrayed the characters by not making Kakashi too broken or Iruka weak. Just having them be human beings trying to cope with their own lot and situation. Great use of imagery with the leaves and how you carried it throughout the story.

great story, please update!

Yet another wonderful story, touching and lovely. I enjoyed myself very much!

Wow I've been gone for a long time. I come back, catching up on KakaIru, and I see you've been at it. And oh HOW you've been at it! I don't quite know HOW but in some manner you have... improved? Could it even be possible? In any case, the subtlety in this piece was... gripping. So much is untold but alluded to in the little things like the reasoning behind Kakashi's words. Iruka's actions. The fact that Iruka didn't panic openly... he knows his Kashi and he knows exactly what to do. So ** good!! Yes, I am made positive by this one ^^

Oh, my! This was wonderful!! Great job!! I loved it!

I figured threatening wouldn't work, but I was going to give it a shot... You know, just to see what would happen! Anyways, I loved this story and "It's Nothing", you write wonderfully. Please update soon!

I loved the imagery here, of leaves and autumn (it's a beautiful autumn right now) and of you slid smoothly into Kakashi's injury. The line where we realize that leaves are blood was so powerful and so beautiful! And Kakashi's dialogue when poisoned...wow. Excellent job creating the atomosphere!

I have only one quibble--Iruka never actually gave Kakashi the antidote. Unless I'm just a brainless idiot and totally missed that~

This is so beautiful... and gives off the aura of autumn so well. I love your work! Every time I read a Kaka=Iru fic I'm just absolutely overjoyed when it does with the trust between the two. Awesome work

The prayer at the end made it even better...but wow, good fic...

that was lovely. I like how you portray Iruka: he was strong and competent (like a ninja must be), but also gentle and nurturing (like a teacher of small children should be). Very nice.

wow! this is a great peice of writing! I really admire the way Iruka handled that. I'd be a nervous wreck, but anyway, great work! i love it! well done!

AGHH!! You always amaze me with your imagery and wonderful character relationships. This was an incredible short story, as all the writing you do is, but I particularily enjoyed this "slice of ninja life" moment. Simply can't say enough good things about it. Great job!

nice

Heartbreakingly, chillingly beautiful - no puns intended at all. The mood is perfectly portrayed. Please keep up the lovely work. ^_^
