You probably have no idea how happy you made me with this chapter. After about the middle of chapter 8, I actually started to avoid this story, in order to put off the inevitable, angsty, unhappy, Itachi-less ending. Today though, I was fed up with my cowardice, and finished the last few chapters. With every little piece of paper Sasuke found, I started tensing and pressing almost against the screen. When Itachi finally appeared again, I screamed in joy! Speaking of that scene, the part about the dango was just ...perfect! The way you put it was just magical. I don't know what it was, but that was actually one of my favorite parts of the whole story; Sasuke looking back at the plate to find it empty with Itachi right behind him. Its almost haunting in its perfection! In case you didn't notice, I really loved this story. Its thought out so well! So much of the story is just Sasuke and Itachi's thoughts and feelings rather then mindless fluff or just random stuff happening, which is what I love most about your story. This kind of story is extremely rare! Everything is thought out so extremely well, and each train of thought either of them has is detailed and actually makes sense! Also, every single scene was dependent on Itachi or Sasuke's thoughts or previous actions, not (like I said) random events occurring around them. You got Itachi and Sasuke just right, too! Nothing they said or thought seemed too OOC. This is officially my favorite story on this site!

Wow...Honestly, how could i read this and not leave a review? This story [including DPWM] was just amazing. You captured every character so well. It was so descriptive and in depth. You should write for a living. I give it 10 out of 10. Amazing. *Round of applause*

Haha I enjoyed this.
Some chapters gave me a total mind**, but happy endings are always good.

I really enjoyed these last chapters, and perhaps once you have enough time, or in the next stories you plan on writing, you could add onto the Itachi and Kaiko relationship. It'd be great to read about how Akemi would react to his father still being alive. If not, just a sugestion.

Wonderful.Utterly.

great fic from beginning to end. i enjoyed it very much. you did a wonderful job here ^_^

This is an impressively written story. Your accurate characterization, detail, vocabulary and ability to make the plot unpredictable kept the story interesting from beginning to end. It was very well done, be proud.

I got my happy end! *cheers*

Well, I think you already know how much I love your writings, and Zena007's review took the words right out of my mouth anyway, so...all I can really do is thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for writing this beautiful, beautiful story.

*hugs and kisses*

This is amazing, I absolutely adore this story. Even though I guess it's kind of a cliffie (with not knowing what's gonna happen next with the wife and kids, and how they're gonna deal with Itachi when he turns completely blind) I was so happy with the ending :} And that quote never gets boring. You're writing was so detailed and I really like how you didn't use the same "Itachi" and "Nii-san" to adress a person, instead you used a lot of different names. Very great story. ^^

ohmygah.
that was AMAMZING!
I LOVED IT!
XD

I just wanted to let you know how much I really enjoyed your story- it was so fabulous and in character that I had a lot of trouble tearing my eyes away from it (I finally had to when I got tired at 4am lol). I love the Sasuke-angst (my favorite kind of angst ^-^) when he believes Itachi is dead and it was so heartbreaking that I actually cried- which to me is definately a sign of awesome writing since its something I don't do often from fanfiction. Anyways the whole plot and Itachi/Sasuke couple worked perfectly and was so believable that it's now one of my favorite couples ^-^ yay for helping me convert! There was one thing that I kinda had trouble with and I was thinking of not mentioning it since I didn't want you to think I loved the story any less because of it but what the hell- the ending had me a bit wanting just because I had trouble picturing how Itachi and Sasuke would live now considering Itachi now has a family- personally if I was Sauske, I might have trouble living with the family Itachi had made. Anyways it left me wanting because I know that you would make it work out in the end and that Itachi and Sauke would obviously figure things out but as it was I just had to imagine it in my mind instead (which probably isn't as good as you might have done it lol) Anways I'm done my long ** review now promise!!

When I first saw this story I thought it will be like all the others. Some flashbacks, hatred and, eventually happy ending. But I was amazed how you wrote the whole thing, and how well planned the plot was. The writing obligates the reader to read intently, for the sake of understanding what happens next, how past entwines with the present or, even, the future. Details add a certain spice and adorns the whole story. This and other things makes Your work unique. I confess, there were a few moments where I couldn't hold back my tears, so well written.! And, I hope you'll astonish us with another great, and unrepeatable story.

So all in all, I Thank You for letting me forget reality and letting me be immersed in a few hours of reading. :)

Itachi and Sasuke are finally together and the game continues. That's exactly how I would have wanted things to end. I'm going to miss this series a lot. I really enjoyed reading both parts. All those long chapters. ;) So are Itachi and Sasuke going to stay with the Crow Clan or will they move on? And I know this has nothing to do with the story but what kind of advice would you give for writing fan fics or stories? I write fan fics and original stories and even if I come up with a good idea about mid-way through I've lost my audience, you know, once I post. Anyway, this was an incredible story and series and I look forward to reading more of your stories in the future.

awe yay!! happy ending ^_^ im just beaming. great job!

YAY! Itachi lives! I was so sad!! I loved the story though! It was well written.
