Ahhhhh, this is my favorite Naruto fanfic, ever!
I'm sad to see that it hasn't updated in awhile, though... very good writing nonetheless. You make it realistic and not *boom* they're in love.

OH what a good story! i love the fighting part..it was so cool! I also love how you portray Sakura and Ino's emotions...it was well written. Please update soon. I can hardly wait for the next chapter! I want to know hat happen next!

I liked this story, and I had forgotten about it for so long. It's so good to come back and see updates. Poor Ino, I know how she feels.

Good read!

One more thing, I've only read the first chapter when I made the previous review, so if there's anything I want to add (which probably won't be necessary), I'll say which chapter it's in.

Oh my goodness, 10 more chapters? Well, whatever, I'm just as big a yuri fan as I am a yaoi fan.

I love the sweet little hints at SasuNaru, by the way. This is over all a very good story- and you have a good beta reader too, there are little to no mistakes.

Anyway, you're writing style is good, with great descriptions, and as far as I can see, a good story line.

Update when you can, we're all waiting. ^-^

Great job!

Author's Response: Thank you for your nice comments! Also, it's nice to see yaoi fans also reading yuri, especially for this story, with the hints at SasuNaru, and all. I'm lucky to not get much complaint about it. ^_^ I hope you continue to enjoy the story!

That was incredibly sweet. Every girl should get their birthday wish. If you have more ideas for this I would love to read them. I'll add the story to my favorites.

I really enjoyed it ^^

Author's Response: Oh, I still have TONS of ideas for this fic. My goal is to make a good, multichapter fic, since there just aren't enough with InoSaku as the main pairing. Glad you enjoyed it, even enough to add to your favorites, and I hope you review again!

O.o The suspense is killing me... lol
So, let's start with the positive, since I feel like it: You have an interesting writing style, it flows well despite the fact you have stuffed so many details in. And by so many details I mean the whole Sakura morning routine thing. Woah! Even I don't pay that much attention to what I do in the morning! But somehow, it didn't get tedious to read, so you get kudos for that.

I utterly loved the 'biting your tongue off' part. Maybe it's cuz I have some personal history on it, but it was just really cute, and much of a give away for what would come next. It's nice to see how much Ino cares about Sakura.

On the less good side... Since this is Sakura's party, I think she should have... I dont know, been less of a one sided, Sasuke obsessed girl. I mean, in the manga its fine since she's not the one and only main character, but she does outgrow it a tad, and I guess it was a little too much for me to handle. Just my opinion, since you haven't written her reaction to the kiss, you might try to consider how much she's been thinking about Sasuke before, and use it as a mean to focus her... guilt or something. Just saying ^^

Uh this review got longer than I had planned, lol. Glad I stumbled upon this story though. Make sure you update soon!

Author's Response: Heee, thanks for the long review, I don't mind at all. :p Um, glad the superdetailed morning routine didn't bore you. I have issues with doing that. >.> Glad you liked the 'bite your tongue off' thing. It's fun to write characters flirting, especially when it happens naturally. As for Sakura being too much of a Sasuke obsessed fangirl, my thinking in this characterization was this: in the manga she's outgrown it a bit seemingly, but it could largely be attributed to, not only maturity, but also Sasuke's absence. In this story, Sasuke is just now leaving her life, so she hasn't really had the chance to step back and analyze the depth of her feelings beyond believing her childhood infatuation is love. I know lots of girls her age who are capable of maintaining an infatuation this long, especially if it's largely unrequited and their focus doesn't get distracted by someone hotter. I could go deeper into my reasoning here, but instead I'll just take the chance to assure you: Sakura's character WILL evolve with this story. And for the record, I don't even like SasuSaku, but since half of this story's main focus is on Sakura, I did need to address it. I'm trying to not make this just the typical pointless yuri smutfic, so details like this matter. And I do hope to address the issues you brought up. Thanks again for the review and concrit. It is helpful to get other people's opinion of what should be changed/improved.

Where to start? First off, it's obvious you can write, no question. Only thing I might say along those lines are that the descriptions went into borderline overkill. You do a nice job, but I'm not sure we need the play-by-play of Sakura's morning routine (for example) or every detail of what Sasuke is wearing at a time when we'd like to move the action forward. Maybe we do want that there, I'm not able to say.
You did fairly warn us that it was AU. Thank you for that. I was also a little slow to catch on to the extent of AU. It threw me at first.

So to be fair I should say that I'm not normally a fan of a lot of AU. Some is ok, but the reason I watch/read Naruto is because I like it mostly how it is, so a complete AU doesn't do much for me- unless, of course, the characters are very in-character, because that's a very important part of the story that's being told in Naruto.

See, now I'm the one who's taking too long to get to the point, cause I'm about to run out of battery. BBL, and in short: yes please do continue. I'd like to see where this goes.

Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing, and for the concrit. I really do appreciate it.rnrnI was actually debating about all those little details (I'm trying to curb myself on that lately), but was told I should leave it in because that seems to be my style. I really wanted to describe Sakura's "personal time" in the shower (xp), so I went ahead and detailed EVERYTHING. Maybe I should've gone with my second-guessing and trimmed it down, but obviously I didn't. As for Sasuke's outfit.. well, IDK, I was thinking Sakura's the sort of girl that would notice what her crush was wearing, especially since she didn't know yet what kind of drama was coming next. I often tend to go into detail about important characters' clothing at first, just to set the tone of their style so I don't have to pay as much attention to it as the story progresses. I suppose it's more for my benefit than the readers', perhaps, because small details like that often give me writer's block if left undecided/undefined. rn(It's sad, I know, but true.)rnrnSorry the AU threw you for a loop! Hope it's not too off-putting, and you'll be back to read more, because I'm definitely continuing this. ^_^

I definitely liked this idea and I can't believe you stopped before writing Sakura's reaction!

It would be interesting to see some backstory behind this (if it isn't already out there). Took me a while to realize this was an AU, but that's okay.

Author's Response: LOL, for some reason, the AU seems to be catching a lot of people off guard. I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless, and hopefully I'll have time soon to write the next chapter!
