I REALLY liked this fic - it fit the characters perfectly and the ending was a happy one. I don't normally like one-shots, but I loved this one - keep writing!

Ice cream makes ME feel better ♥ Lol.
loved it

really awesome.

OMG I LOVED IT
:: tears::
if in real life love could be like this...

this was great...i have to admit, i cried so much when Asuma died; you did a great job on making them just like in the manga, and Shikamarus feeling, great work!!

nice one! so, did you enter this into the contest?

First of all, I think ice cream exists in Konoha :D

It was a sweet, well-written fic. No one was OOC, and remained that way until the end of the story (actually, that's one of my pet peeves - characters going OOC in the end of the story just to make it more romantic. That's why I try to avoid drama/romance fics).

I added it to my favorites, and I'm going to check your other stories.

Yum! Ice cream! This was kawaii.I love the idea of Ino and Shikamaru playing chess.

Aw,I love it!It was awesome!

I love it!! it's kawii(sp?)!

Gah! SO cute. I have recently developed a new love for ShikaIno, so this is was really fun for me to read!! Love the story and great writing!

Wow. Just wow. I aboustly(sp i kno) luv this story, very very good. Ur talanted. I hope u won with the contest thingy. Ne ways, keep up the great writing!

Ja ne!

I LOVE this story! You're so descriptive, and I could actually imagine everything happening!
And just to let you know--Shoji and chess are the exact same game, only the shoji pieces have the names written on them.

It's both sad and sweet - you sure did pour a lot into it! I liked how the game was 'won' at the end, too. ;) This was a nice story; good luck with the contest!
