The ending came as a bit of a surprise to me. I'm so used to reading Anko fics where it's Orochimaru who's showing up out of no where, I absolutely didn't expect it to be Kabuto,or rather Shizune in disguise.I love how everyone's in character.

the power of Oro's (ex) woman!
yosh!
i like it. somebody needs to write Anko...and you did a nice job, Angel^^

^_^ Ah, amen to the A/N. We don't get enough credit, we really don't. Nice story. Not your best, but nice story.

> You did an awesome job of stringing me along like poor Anko-chan. I mean...I'm not as fond of her as I am of most, but she's one of the few female characters in the series who aren't totally hopeless *coughsKarincoughs* But yes~! I quite enjoyed this. No matter what you write you write it so well.

aw, that sucks for anko! *i* would be ** they manipulated me like that. cool story, though.

Very nicely done. You portray both Anko's self-doubts as well as her confidence. It was very well balanced.
