I read it now the 3rd time and in the end i laughed (becasue of random nose bumping while kissing and falling over coffe tables because of the mentioning of children XD)
and after the last sentence i had alomst cried ALMOSt

8 cried the first and second time XD)

I finally spent the time reading this the other day and it was enjoyable, in particular the ending.

I had a few minor problems with a few parts of the story, though.

One being that your Sakura is incredibly annoying. I'm fine with strong female characters, but there's a line between "strong and stubborn" or "annoying and stubborn." Just hours after she spends time betraying Itachi's trust, she is attacking him for not telling her something? This is something persistent throughout the story, along with Itachi generally being extremely forgiving of all of Sakura's attacks. Love only goes so far in forgiveness and I can't imagine Itachi, despite being a pacifist, being able to forgive the multitude of terrible things Sakura says to him.

Second are a few mentions of Shakespeare. When mentioned, Shakespeare completely and utterly destroyed the chapters because it conflicts with the setting. While there's nothing wrong with him, the problem is that his works are purely a western phenomenon and they didn't progress east for some time. Using a prominent eastern drama writer would have probably kept to the setting a bit better. This type of thing is typically fine in the more humerous stories, since they aren't taking themselves too seriously but it felt out of place here.

Finally, there was the section on being "legal," both to drink and to have sex. Consider the time frame Naruto takes place, not to mention that Japan's age of consent in some regions is as young as 13! As for drinking, it's 20 rather than 21. This one's not really a story-killer, either, but when tiny mistakes like this are made it really hurts the immersion.

hey! i just completed ur story in like three days! as in all of 399 pages! i really really really really really absolutedly adored that story! it's so good and realistic!! how did u freaking write this at 16/17?! i mean seriously, i think this was better written than the twilight series (not that i don't like that series) but it's so good! im probably not writing a very constructive review, but i really liked it!

Well this is only the second Itachi/Sakura fic I've ever read and I have to say it wasn't half bad. The interaction between the two of them was very interesting and highly amusing.

I thought Naruto seemed a little ooc since he very much fell out of love with Sakura and came to view her as a friend in the anime but that's fine for the puposes of this fic.

You've probably heard it before but I also thought the last few chapters were a little rushed. From the point onwards where Itachi first pounced on Sakura thinking she was Shishi for half a second there whole relationship has seemed that way but never mind, that's just my opinion.

Overall, I thought it was a really nice read with some truly touching moments in there. I think you did really well with writing Kakashi even if he was a little over protective for my tastes but in general, he and Sasuke were the best written characters in the fic I think.

Nice work! I look forward to more in the future. ^_^

I still liked the 'eloping' deal better. (*mentally laughs at the vision of an irate Ino chasing the new announced Uchiha Sakura with a fan screaming, "How DARE you get married without ME!"*) However you ending was nice as well. Usually, at this point, I would write/rant about how much I loved this story, how good it was, how the cast was in character, etc., etc., but I figure my hands will start hurting once I reach somewhere around halfway so I'll just leave it as this:

Thank you. I am faving.

That... has to be the most EPIC battle-end scene I've seen for a story such as this. It was, hate to say it, Perfect. It's like, this chapter and the real Naruto series got switched in some cosmic mistake and this is what was supposed to actually happen: with the three(well four) of Team 7 getting back together like that. It was just so Natural. Really, so eloquently written. I know, I'm just rambling now, but this chapter really made it for me, you know?

And now, to address the Itachi-Sakura situation... *reads next chapter*

Captivating. Entrancing. The plot line is so well done. As, of course, are the characters. All in all, it's a pretty freaking impressive story. :)

I read this entire story in two days, and consequently ignored so many responsibilities, but I honestly could not stop reading this. I even printed out a chapter so that I could read it during class. This is absolutely beautiful, and so (at times painfully) believable. My only complaint would be the treatment of Kakashi, but honestly I'm unbelievable biased about that topic.

I mist admit this is the best ItaSaku stories I have read. It left me desiring more. I thank you for writing this. It helped me cheer up if even a little.
You are a truly great writer. I enjoyed reading your story and it kept me entertained for many hours.
The Pact- Was a book I never picked up but I do own. I have now thanks to this story decided to pick it up and read it.
Honestly you should try write you own stories. I would be very inclined to read them.

Epic.

I must say for someone who has only watched a few episodes of shippuden you are doing well with this story.

I've read this story once before... I don't think... I got to the end though. But let me say... he kissed her?!

Oh my God! I was thinking about "The Pact" the entire time I was reading this chapter. That book is truly amazing!
This fic is really well-written, by the way.

wasn't it raining earlier in the day, prior to this chapters ending? then they would have been sitting on wet ground in the park. weeping willows don't provide all that great rain resistance.

Oh wow... I don't think any ItaSaku fic has ever made me laugh, cry, scream, or pace nervously so much in my life. This was absolutely amazing and I loved it. So perfect. I know find myself craving a fic where Sasuke figures out the Itachi!Massacre thing before their fight and the two of them return to Konoha... Lol hmm... this will be an interesting search. In any case, this was absolutely amazing and I look forward to reading it over and over again. Thank you very much for writing this.
