I'm so exicted. That conversation between those two at the end is so what I'm looking forward to seeing next. And of course more sap between the two main characters.

Wow, this really... this really has to be the best fanfictions with Shino in it I've ever read. You've pegged his character so perfectly in my eyes. And Tenten... wow... She is by no means an underrated heroine in this story. Everything about her is how I would have imagined her if she were a lead in Kishimoto's universe. You've just portrayed her so beautifully... so perfectly. You've taken her mastery of weapons and really given it a touch that was never fully explored by Kishimoto. She's a legitimate badass in your fic, hun.

And honestly, I never would have even considered her and Shino.. but, I'll tell you this, if more writers on here wrote like you did, I wouldn't mind the pairing at all.

Uhoh, tremors in the relationship, but hey, they can't all work out perfectly from the get go, they take work. I wonder what Shibi and Gai are gonna discuss, or rather, more detailed since we know who they'll be discussing :P

Ha, he had her meet his father...

I would hate to meet Shino's father, hell any of 'em...

It wasn't too mushy, if that's what you were worried about, it was funny.

I can't wait for Gai's and Shibi's conversation!

Later!!^.^

ahh... love this chapter. and how effectively you showed Tenten's doubts/concerns about the relationship. and the conversation with Shibi, and Shino's admittance that he's making up the plan as he goes. since neither of them have been in a serious relationship so far. and I loved the end- I can't wait to see how Gai and Shibi's talk goes. great writing.

I love the interaction between Shino and Tenten. They're both so unknown and yet you manage to write them so well. No matter what situation you put them in you make them seem so in character. =)

Adding to that, I find NTF's review amusing. There's plenty of NejiTen fics to read and it isn't even cannon anyway. I've read the manga and missed the part where it states that Tenten loves Neji or the other way around. *shrugs*

There's very little information about Shino and his clan. Where did "his clan reproudces through bugs" come from anyway? For someone who likes Tenten they don't seem to know her very well. Her team mate Neji is rather quiet and she handles him fine. In fact it makes sense for her to handle someone like Shino. There's also no cannon evidence that she's freaked out by insects.

Here's hoping that you don't make this into a NejiTen in future. You wouldn't exactly be following cannon even if you did anyway. O_o

ahahh, loved the Gai scene at the end xD
that man totally owns every littlr bit he's presented with, I tell you!

Ahh, sure to be an interesting conversation between the father figures... X3

I must also say that, neither being female, nor having any experience with women in any sort of meaningful relationship (much to my boundless grief and dismay), I don't think I had any trouble understanding Tenten in this chapter...

...unless I somehow missed the point entirely.

I love this story, so far. You've managed to capture the characters near perfectly! I can't wait for more!

lovely Shibi/Tenten scene. I really enjoy your portrayl of the Aburume clan. thanks for the update.

the story just gets better and better! I can't wait to read more!

:) Thank you for the update! I wonder what Shino's father wants to discuss with Gai-sensei.

Pretty good chapter... I was entertained but not really into the initial minor spar. I rather enjoyed her conversation with his dad, though, and I really look forward to Gai's conversation with him. Because that can only be hilarious. The man is serious when he needs to be, and the heart of one of his flowering students is definitely serious business.

Also, ROFL at that earlier review by the guy bitching that it wasn't Neji/Tenten. Oh god I laughed so hard. I can't tell if he's serious or just parodying the hardcore shippers. I hope joking, though the internet has disappointed me on more than a few occasions. Anyway, you deserve the praise you get.

You're not online very often anymore, though. :(

Loved it a great update as always!

Ah, the fathers (since Gai is sort of Tenten's surrogate father) are getting down to business! What a great chapter. I love the conversation with Shibi. He has a wry way of speaking that is really compelling. The fight between the Shino and Tenten was exciting in so many ways...really. I'm fanning myself right now. Can't wait to read on!
