Yay! Thanks for the update

HAHAHA Go badmouth-Sasuke! Woot Woot! Now Konoha's 2nd place most lazy ninja (in my opinion) has the most complicated occupation to fulfill until Tsudane wakes up...she is going to wake up right? Right?

Karin rocks! I sometimes wish I could kick Sasuke, even though she did it for the greater good of relieving Sasuke's guilt!

There are so many touching and "i want to squeeze you in comfort" moments in this chapter! Pein! I love you even though you killed everyone you brought them back!

Nooo! Why did you have to kill people off! How evil can one author get?

After reading the warnings, i was wondering, is there still a weird love triangle if Itachi is dead?

I feel kind of sorry for Sakura...even if the only females in Naruto i can stand are Tsunade and Hinata...but mostly because they don't abuse Shikamaru...hehe

I love how comfortable team Taka is with one another!

Hahahha the fact that the two Sasuke-obsessed (or used to be obsessed in case Sakura is no longer...) females created right after looking at each other is pretty gosh darn funny.

I'm glad that Sasuke is able to tell Shika about his doubts without Shika having to pressure him and that Shika is able comfort him in return. I also enjoyed reading how Shika and Karin got along and how Tsunade got all panicky D

Aw, I'm glad that Shika helped Karin calm down even after all the outbursts she made last chapter. Wait so what did the reaper take in exchange for the power Shika obtained?

Aww, the fact that Sasuke is able to feel both jealous and glad about ItaShika, makes me all happy inside! Yum for Shika's vampire like tendency XP

I also realized, Shika's pretty freakin' strong in this fic! If you include Hidan and Kazu, Shika was able to "defeat" three Akatsuki members, even though he didn't really defeat Kazu himself, he helped out...ah! my love for fictional Shikamaru just keeps growing! Especially since everyone quieted down after Shika said that he almost felt like strangling Karin with his shadow.

Okay, I read chapter 5 and it answered my question on whether or not Shika's search for Sasuke was approved or not )

MUHAHAHAH I love that right in the beginning Shika molests Sasuke in his sleep XD I especially loved Sasuke's mewls! Yay for vulnerable Sasuke and protective Shika!

With Sasuke using the jutsu to appear female it really makes me curious what Shika would look like if he were to use it and what Sasuke's reaction to Shika would be...

Oh yeah, I forgot to add in my ch. 3 review my love for the tears Shika and Sasuke shed due to Itachi's actions! I loved how even though Itachi wasn't physically present, he still had a major impact on the whole chapter. And now that I think about it, Shika mentioned last chapter that he went to the Hokage about the chronicles, that made me wonder, was his going after Sasuke allowed or did he just leave right after? You don't have to answer this if it's in chapters that are already posted.

While reading this chapter, I got to wondering, is Loveless a real piece of literature? Because I've only heard about it in Anime or video game (FFVII OT5 all the way baby!) fanfiction...

It's funny that Sasuke is addicted to tomatoes ) And with all the moaning and blushing going on I wonder if Itachi and Shika were able to do the deed before Itachi died?

Okay, so I decided to reread this whole story because 1) I need my UchihaxShika fix, 2) I love it, 3) Because I love it, I decided that I must review every chapter that I didn't, 4) Because it deserves to be reviewed, 5) Just cause XD

I am in love with this story! Excellent flow, wonderful characterizations, believable hardships and a beyond wonderful romance between Sasuke and Shika have turned this into a masterpiece. I eagerly await the next chapter, because this is a level of BAMF previously only achieved by Kirk, so there should be more of it. Would you look at being a tad more descriptive though? Epic mashed potatoes are made more epic with Epic Gravy after all.

for a second there I thought the story was over but then i saw TBC and i was happy again haha. Please update soon!
