Great story. Intricate descriptions and light to details. I like how you make an effort to lay out the setting, the scenery, and the situation first before going into the meat of the story. Although it is what most stories should begin with, a lot of fics on this site doesn't or didn't do a good enough job to coax the reader into the story. I can practically picture myself in Sakura or Kakashi's situation with your details of the senses.

I like chapter 12, by the way. It struck a cord. I thought it was told told so well. The exploration of Sakura's inner mind is not only important to the story, but very intriguing as the reader anticipate Sakura's reaction.

I love the humor. Some exchanges by the characters made me laugh like crazy. I love the part when Sakura said "you're hot" with a worried tone to Kakashi, and he was like "what?!" And the "let me check you out." LOL. Poor Kakashi, his mind must have been on haywire then.
Also when Naruto thought Pukkun was Sakura because of her smell, then denied he thought that...then looking around to see if anyone else thought the same. LOL, OMG, that was so funny! So adorable.

I found this fic different in that it did not jump to a WAFF every other scene, and the male lead was not predatory on the heroine, like many other romance fanfics are. They're both very in character. (and you have my highest praise on that difficult feat) And you know that by separating them, it only makes Sakura and Kakashi (and the readers, of course) to long to be together more. Reverse psychology! Great.

I liked how you developed the plot too, how you made one event leading to another, and how you nurture the two's feelings for each other. Their thought processes are amazingly relatable and realistic.

O, you're so evil, leading us on. Through whole story I've been thinking "Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!" And really looked forward to the contact of their lips. Mou! Come on! I'm waiting...so don't abandon this story because that's too cruel on us readers who had traveled this far with Sakura and Kakashi. I will wait with hope that you will decide to come back to this story and finish it. Then till next time.

I'm very sorry to see that this story has been abandoned so close to its conclusion.

Reviewing an abandoned story may seem odd, but I feel you still deserve feedback for your efforts.

This is one of the more original and well-crafted plots out there. I haven't read anything quite like it, and I've read a ** lot of fanfiction. Novelty in itself is a novelty these days, so it's worthy of comment.

I like the progression of Sakura and Kakashi's relationship because it's not like they suddenly find each other hot and have to simply get over the student-teacher issue in their own minds. That ** is lame and boring. Yours is a more natural progression because they spend a lot of time together, relying only on each other. Three months isn't that long, though, and I thought the leap was a little bit fast, but mostly what I appreciated is the fact that neither would acknowledge it in their minds and it took a grave situation on both parts to aid the realisation. The Kakashi-clone kissing scene was great as well. They ALMOST made great progress, but then ... To be honest, their relationship isn't the most realistic dynamic, but I've seen a lot worse in that regard.

What is most unique about this story is that it ACTUALLY managed to shock me. That hasn't happened in forever. When Kakashi "died" I literally ** gasped out loud. I knew he had to pull some crazy zombie ** or something, but I really didn't see the kamikaze scroll coming. You've managed to weave a suspenseful tale where all the pieces slowly come together. It's hard to do and I commend you for it.

I also want to mention the action, since your author's notes expressed some trepidation. I happen to love your action writing style. Too many people either skip it entirely, try to make it just like the anime and detail every single action, or make it overly emotional. The reality is that it's not anime and written word isn't a medium that lends itself easily to ninja fights, but neither are ninja fights usually angst-ridden battle sagas. You find what is, in my opinion, a workable balance of those extremes. Your battle scenes were enjoyable to read and I really appreciate that.


I'd love it if you eventually returned to this story, but I certainly understand writing yourself into a wall and lacking inspiration. It's especially hard when it's fanfiction and doesn't feel like "real" writing.

In the end, I hope you gained what you hoped to out of this endeavour and continue writing in whatever way you please. Naruto or not, fanfiction or not, you have something real underneath. Not many of the "authors" on here can say the same.

...are my eyes deceiving me, or does the summary say this story is ABANDONED?

-scans it over again to make sure-

WHY?! Oh please don't! This is SO well written too! It'd be such a shame! ;o; Please let this be some cruel April Fool's joke.

Now I'm never going to know what happens next. Damn.

I couldn't believe you had killed off kakashi, it freaked me out a whole lot, but I love how you made everything work. Keep up the good work and keep writing fanfiction because you are amazing.
