Oh my gosh, more juicy info about Amanda. She incorporates science into her jutsu, making it seem like witch craft. That is so spooky and bizarre, just because no one ever stops to think of the science behind jutsu. That's a great outlook on it.

What really threw me off is that Amanda has designated times when she's not tolerant? That's so weird! Is that just because or is it because something dark happened in those months/moon cycles/etc?

Anyway, great chapter, Madeline-chan! This was a great chapter, I liked getting inside Dru's head because I feel like we hardly ever see her. Good job on this!

Author's Response: The more we open up about Amanda, Dru is opened too. They are sort of like a package. Neji was used, and still will be used, to transition things in the coven. But if it is centered around Amanda, then Dru will be used. I'm glad you like it, it was sort of short, but I will update soon!

:OOO
TY :DD

So... much... beautiful... insight.

This was really amazing. I love how it changed from Itami to Amanda's flashbacks. It provided great transition. And the actual content of this chapter was definitely amazing. This story truly has taken a wonderful turn with some great twists, I really love it.

Great work, Fantasy Madeline! This fic is definitely shaping to be a fantastic story. Keep up the amazing work!

Author's Response: Yay!!! I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but I'm pleased with this chapter. Giving some nice moments for the horror to soon follow.....kukukuku...

Aww, you're so welcome for the support. You deserve every ounce of it :)

Now, as for the chapter... wow...

I really loved how this showed a bit more about the mysterious Amanda. This chapter was placed in such an appropriate time in the story. Showing her doubts, her thoughts, and her true self was just amazing. I loved learning about her, even if it was only a few hints and such. She has a heart, even if it was shown in a very subtle way. She cares for her coven, and she has sentimentality.

Great work on this chapter! I loved the narrative, it was a great way to show insight to this amazing character. Keep up the good work with this!

Author's Response: Yea. At first I thought about calling it a bonus chapter because it was different, but I thought better of it. Bonus normally implies that you don't have to read it for the story to make sennse, but I thought that this was a crucial point. I have a few things like it planned, and from here on out the plot begins. I will be laying out the following points: -Itami perspective, -Amanda and Dru perspective, -Neji perspective. Utilizing these three views of the story, I hope to add depth and another layer of thinking to the story. I hope to update within the week. -Fantasy Madeline

Haha...
Kool...!!
now thts interesting... :D
the meeting ws intriguing..
n Itami...huh? he looks like a interesting character...like some kinda assasain..
anyways... so they've all gotten serious bout Amanda...
n lol... i like it wen Danzo's mouth gets shut... xDD
Awesome job at this chapter... :D
Update soon plz :)

Author's Response: Yea, I like Itami too. Assassin? Not quite...rnHe's not an assassin. Try again! Mwahahha...

lol...
'witch of darkness' n practicer of dark magic...
there is a difference...? i fail to see it... :/wel anyways... lol that explains da ink xD danzo is involved... he wants Amanda killed? or sasuke...?
n woah... she actually burned his paperwork... oh hw i wish it was tsunade n nt sarutobi... xD
things would've more funny xP
imagine the two ladies tryin to glare each other down... xP
anyways... this chapter was awesome... :D
n lol sorry madeline for my previous review... >_< :P

Author's Response: No problem. The whole point of the witch of darkness thing was to add contradiction, by the way. She thinks Witch of Darkness sounds less evil than practicer of black magic. There isn't really a difference. rn I know, I would love Tsunade in this too. But don't worry, she is not forgotten. I have plans with her.... (kukukuku *evil laugh* )rn rnThanks for reviewing!

Haha, Neji, how naive, thinking Amanda-sama needs help. Pfft, how innocent XD

When Amanda walked in, I wanted to laugh and hide in a corner at the same time. I can never imagine that angry, so it's both comical and frightening. However, when she yelled 'Nine minutes' from the top of the stairs, I had to laugh. She's definitely not too happy ;) The Hokage is going to be in for a huge terror now.

Great work, Fantasy Madeline! This chapter was both dark, as usual, and relatively funny. It makes me eager to read more and see how the Hokage reacts to Amanda's fury. Keep up the great work!

Author's Response: Aww, thanks for reviewing! I thought the whole 'I'm splattered with ink and ready to murder someone' was a comical look on Amanda as well. She was pretty annoyed, and you will see why next chapter. I hope to update soon! XDd

Yup, it's official.

I'm scared of Amanda's true power.

This was so dark that it had me on the edge of my seat. And I know I said this, but your writing has seriously improved. You describe the little things, hinting here and there at the dark atmosphere and the fear in the room.

I forgot to mention this before, but I kind of like how you describe things through Neji's point of view. He's the newest member, and the dark tension affects him more because he's not as used to it. I like that idea.

Great work, this was amazing. Keep up the awesome work!

Author's Response: ee! Thanks so much for your review. They always make me so incredibly happy. I am glad I wrote the fear and atmosphere well! I try my best. Now I have to face eighth grade, but I still will update as often as possible. Thanks so much! I'll update soon!rn

well if if tsunade would've been in sarutobi's place... the scene would've totally been different... xD

Author's Response: Yep, but I make most of my stories pre-shippuden. So, Sarutobi it is.

Hokage-san? Hokage-san... holy crap... Yeah, I blanched when I read that.

I have to agree with the Hokage; Amanda has some very formal way of speaking. But I liked it; definitely adds to the dark style of the story.

I think the Hokage was very in character. He wasn't completely dumbfounded by Amanda, only enough that he would be a bit bewildered and surprised.

Wow, awesome job with this chapter. I liked it. It was nice to see Amanda in a different setting yet still hold her scary and powerful aura over others. Especially the Hokage... poor old man....

Author's Response: I am so happy i did a good job of making the Hokage in character. I wanted to make Amanda a believable dark character, without making her all 'I will kill your children and feast on the blood of puppies'. So, I am happy that both her and the hokage were in character. Hokage-san. Yea. I looked at it from this perspective. You are used to growing up your whole life happily obeying your leader who you respect. Then, you meet someone else 'important'. You wouldn't have as much respect for them. rnrnThanks so much for reading and reviewing!!! =D

oh kool!
so this was to describe part of the inside.....
anyways... the plot is bout to start in the nxt chapter i guess....

lolz
totally cult...
so wat exactly did she do to him? does Amanda really practice black magic???

Yay! Another one! Wow, you're really working hard on your stories. Good for you :D

Once again, excellent work! The pain that Neji felt was very evident and described very well. The surroundings were also elaborated very nicely, not just dully explaining 'this was here...' and 'that was over there...' It actually had a nice flow to it.

It was also nice to see how the fold acts without Amanda around. It was a little expected but still pretty funny to see how everyone was so chill.

Nice job! I look forward to more, this is definitely going very well! Keep up the great work with your stories!

Author's Response: Yep, I have been finishng school, and to make up for my being basically M.I.A on this site, you get mega fast updates! rnrnThanks! Yea, well, who wouldn't be more serious with super creepy girl hanging around you like a hawk? Thanks for the review!
