Dark, painful, and sad. Lovely, delightful, and creative. A few minor typos, but great story over all.

Amazing! I love the story very unique!

Just awesome, like the other FFs of you.
The only thing I wish is that some of your OneShots would go on :)

Yawn!
I can't BELIVE I am doing this in 1:40 in the morning.
I loved your story! XD
Even though it was confusing at the beginning,I enjoyed the first and seccond chappie! :)
I am new here, but this story is quite inspiring.
I have no critics what so ever, except for ONE.
You're to GOOD OF A WRITER!
And I am serious you're fantastic.

When I first read that Pein was dead I went "WHY VESPER! WHY!" However I know all too well about loss and finding new strength to carry on. That aside the story was wonderful! By the time I read the end I was practically crying and screaming how you found a writers gold mine before me! Looks like I still have a lot of catching up to do. *sigh* I'm always delighted by your works whether they are light and playful or brimming with life lessons. Thanks for writing this VesperChan! Thank you so much. Take care.

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful story ... I normally always end up with a lonely feeling when finishing a story that i like so much, that wasn't the case with this one :)

Wait, that's it? You can't end it there! What happens with the night walkers and Sakura?

I have been meaning to read this story for awhile, and I'm glad I finally got around to doing it.

Before I say anything else, though, let me say this first: That "Anonymous" guy? Yeah, HE/SHE is the bitch. Your writing is awesome! And the stories you come up with are wonderful! I throughly enjoyed this story, even though it was short, because it held so much - a lot od detail and a the amount of mythology, traditions, curses and the underwolrd stuff was substantial which made it sensational. It was all very awesome and very unique.

You're great! (and Anonymous is not - there's a reason why he didn't leave his actual name!)

Wow just... Wow this is stunning. The details were a bit hazy but not in the way of something not being explained, but more like when something doesn't need explaining at all. Pein's death for so heart breaking and so... Real. Like I looked out of my window when I read it and shivered because I could picture it. Kind of scary that way. But that just made me love the story more. And as for the shadow people being tied to Haruno lands... Brillantly executed. My only complaint is we didn't see Naruto, bui actually I didn't miss him with Itachi around ;)

I really loved and I wanted to B***H slap Sasuke for rippin' off Sai's wings even if he lied *grumble grumble* and Kisame's just so adorable X3 Can't wait to see Naruto in this. Keep up the amazing work :D

When Pein said, "make an army of kids", all i could do was stop and stare for a little bit... O.O I never knew Pein was such a beast!

And when it said "smiled with as much charm as a dead man" idk why but i just cracked up there XD Poor Sai needs a hug!

Great job, so far i'm lovin' it! :D

Is that it? Won't you write more please?

Am seriously loving this story 3

Wow. First of all, the music rocks. Second of all, I love how you included a lot of mythology. I love the details of Hebrew inscriptions, curses, a small town, an underworld, gypsy dances, wings and allusions like Ophelia and the clay golem.

Reading your story brought me to another world. It was a very sensual, magical, and deep story. The story was always centered around Sakura's past and her curse. I love her explanation of how her mother and father met, it was something I guessed myself but would never be able to word so beautifully.

My favorite line of all time: The dark ones have always been attracted to spring women, the ones most forbidden to them.

It's so fitting because Sakura is actually born on March 28th, and Haruno means Springfield. She's basically the human form of spring.

I have two questions: Do you have any books that you would like to recommend? I have read a couple of Greek and Roman MYthology books but I never got into this kind...Norse, i think? Your story has interested me greatly and I bet you know a lot about it too!

And second, what other mythologies can be found in this story? I only picked up a couple, but is this 'spring child' an actual myth?
