Reviews For You Found Me

Haha, Kenshin's totally spazzy about the wedding, lolz.
Gotta say, I was wanting more on Sasuke and Naruto, but the little speech Sasuke gave about possession was good.
Can't believe it's over. I'm gonna miss having to scan the 'Most Recent' page for You Found Me.
You did a good job.
Author's Response: I think...I think SasuNaru/NaruSasu should be a simple relationship. Nothing complex or anything-- and nothing too showy. I kinda made other pairings, I dunno, more dramatic, because I like the idea that Naruto and Sasuke are quietly in love. Does that make sense? And what do you mean, Kenshin's spazzing about the wedding? I tried imagining it and I just started laughing so hard... like, Kenshin flipping out and looking a little crazed... I just can't see it. :D Anyway, make sure to look for my next fanfic!!!! It's gonna be just as good, and it's gonna be another SasuNaru, because I find myself enjoying writing about them. I don't like the couple (I'm a NaruSaku fan) but those two are fun. And you know, with Sasuke's speech about possession, that he was thinking about Naruto the whole time, and that how he was about to finish his sentence was, "It's kinda like the way I'm possessive about Naruto." <3 Kisses, Sarah-hime.

O.O
I hate it when I mix up Elton John and Eric Clapton!
They're both artists I really like, and it makes me feel like a total idiot when I mix them up!
GRRRRR!
Haha, I'll be back.
Author's Response: No, no, it's totally fine. I mean, now we're... "even"? You told me about the wine, and I told you about the artists...
Name: Miki Everless (Signed) · Date: 10/07/09 - 08:24 pm · For: Wonderful Tonight
That song is so beautiful. Simple, but still heartfelt. Elton John... perfect choice.
Haha, I love how Sakura still calls him Sensei.
Even after they confessed that they love each other.
I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. (That's awesome, considering I'm extremely sick. Damn flu.)
Wow... I can't believe it's finally official.
If those fangirls ever try to separate them.... *growl*
I'm torn between Kenshin keeping his job and having him fired.
His job was what made him and Sakura meet, but he'll get fired if the staff has proof that they had sex or something.
Plus, if he gets fired for that, it'll be really hard to get another job with that kind of record.
"I'm not letting you go,"
I... can't even put in words how just that sentence makes me feel.
Author's Response: Thanks for your review! Okay, your comments...comment one: Wonderful Tonight. Yeah, I love the song "Wonderful Tonight." My cousin had it as her first dance at her wedding. It's actually by Eric Clapton, not Elton John, but for the longest time, I thought that the artist was Elton John, too! Comment two: Sensei. There's a reason she still calls him Sensei. Keep waiting, Miki... Comment three: damn flu. Aw man, that's sucks. I'm sorry-- I have a bit of a cold, so my nose is congested, and it's championship weekend for my swimming, so I'm getting up at 5:30 to get to Oxford (an hour away from my home in Cincinnati). Comment four: fangirls. I'll just let you know that we're not really gonna have problems with the fangirls...they're too much for me to handle, ha ha ha... Comment five: Kenshin's job. You'll see-- I have a solution. Comment six: Sakura and Sensei. Well, Kenshin is a very moral sort of man and wouldn't even think of having sex with Sakura until marriage, and that's after she graduates from high school and has everything sorted out with college-- ideally, he's got twenty in mind. Comment seven: How that phrase makes you feel. I like that it had an impact on you-- now that Kenshin has Sakura, finally, at long last!-- the way he treats her will probably be similar to the way he'd treat... a kitten, you could think: gently, afraid to hurt it because it's so delicate, but at the same time, you can't seem to hold it enough and you keep it held protectively, firmly, against your heart, you know? My favorite line was actually the last one: "And for the rest of the night, we danced to music only she and I could hear." Was that it? Well, that was my favorite line, having more impact on me. It meant for me that they are finally one.

Awww!!!! Sasuke is so honest....
Hahaha! Extra virgin olive oil; that has to be my favorite line from this whole story.
I love the way you make Sasuke and Naruto interact; it's always cute, witty, and funny.
You know... it's funny. You have Naruto embracing the idea of love Sasuke so easily, but his main worry is about Saukre, not the fact/surprise that he's gay... though I suppose that shows the significance of his sister to him.... either way, as long as they're in love, I don't care! ^-^
Anyway, that was a great round of chapters Sarahkins, I'm looking forward to the masquerade.
Author's Response: I thought that the extra virgin olive oil was something Naruto would say, ne? Because he's that innocent and dumb. Yeah, I wanted to make it that he's not that surprised he's gay-- the only girl he cares about is his sister (besides him mom). He embraces the fact that he's gay, and he's okay with it, but he's not ready to act on it-- he's almost in shock.rn

Hahahaha; love-illiterate? Funny. Cute filler chapter that was pointless but adorable.
Author's Response: I thought that the "Your driving skills are questionable" and the reply of "Yes, I am a questionable twenty-two year old" was funnier.

I called it. I totally called it wasn't a dream.
Anyway, you are so just a teensy-weensy bit biased toward KenSaku. I might have said that before, but I thought I'd just let you know again. ^-^'
But that's not a bad thing; my point is just that their relationship tends to be even more dramatic.
For example, this chapter. A very good chapter, by the way. ^-^ Moving on...
Author's Response: I love KenSaku a lot more, true. Because Kenshin is one of my top characters! He's very popular, in the story, and outside of it. Their relationship is more dramatic because Sakura and Kenshin are undramatic people.
Name: ChicagoIsCalling7 (Signed) · Date: 09/07/09 - 10:56 am · For: Closer Than Being Next to Me...
GASP!!!! It's official?!?!?! Wow, that wasn't nearly as dramatic as I thought it would be...
Anyway, so, that Sakura and Kenshin moment was sweet and all, and sure, it was romantic, albeit a teeny bit corny, but hey, Sasuke was being so sweet!
He's actually really OOC, but it works beautifully in your story and it makes SasuNaru that much more lovable.
That's really all I have to say about this because I'm really anxious to see what the next chapter holds...
Author's Response: I didn't want for the official SasuNaru moment to be something big and blown out. That's not them, y'know?

Awww... how sad. Poor Sakura; I feel for her, really, but hey, when my favorite couple is getting along so well/cutely, I can't complain, y'know?
Anyway, it was interesting to see who deep the twins relationship really is, how connected they are. It looks like Sakura needs Naruto more than they both know...
Author's Response: I wanted to show that the twins are extremely codependent. Like they said to Temari that one time? "WE'RE JUST CODEPENDENT!", was it?

Ky-frickin-ahhhh!!!!!!!
"It gives me thrills to wind you up"!
And Naruto blushing! And... and... jealousy! and just general yaoi-SasuNaru-ness! I love this chapter! It was funny, cause you always make Sasuke so smart-assed, it was cute, cause Naruto is such a cute little uke, it was just pure adorable!
You just made my day!! ^-^
Anyway, on to the next chapter...
Author's Response: Thanks . The "It gives me thrills to wind you up" is something someone said to me and I reacted pretty badly to that: blushing, dithering, getting a little worked up.

Kyaah!!! Okay, just so you know, that kya wasn't really for Saukra and sensei, but all those SasuNaru hints!!! ^-^ Ahh!
Anyway, okay, quickly, one thing - the line that says the fangirls shirt was too low and whatever? You wrote skirt instead of shirt, so yeah, just so you know.
But now, on to my praises....
This was a cute chapter; not my favorite, but sweet. The dress sounds beautiful; Sakura's thinking through her feelings and things are gonna be picking up speed... I think I know what's going to be going on at the restaurant, tee hee. ;)
Anyway, I have tons more chapters to read (you weren't kidding when you said you updated) so that's all for now.

Name: Miki Everless (Signed) · Date: 08/07/09 - 08:34 pm · For: You're The Only Reason
OH MY GOD! I am so sorry for not reviewing the past 4 chapters!
I'm on vacation, and it took me forever to obtain an internet card.
First... I really like how you changed the perspective from Sakura to Naruto when she and Kenshin danced on the beach. That chapter described the scene beautifully, and it also explained how Naruto felt about their relationship.
And... Sakura kissed him back. I am so... I can't even find the word for it. I want to yell and cheer right now.
The dress change was kind of random, but I love how the dress was described.
And Temari's probably your best character, second to Kenshin. ^__^.
Sasuke and Naruto... theeeeyy're gonna daaaaance!
Haha! I love Sasu/Naru. They're so cute.
Sakura and Kenshin at a masquerade... and now (I think...) they both know they love each other. At least, Sakura does...
I can't wait for the masquerade chapter! And I'm sorry all your reviewers ninja'd ;_; I'm sure they'll be back soon! This story is too brilliant to be unread.
Author's Response: Yeah, all my reviewers disappeared on vacation AT THE SAME TIME. But that's okay, because now you're all back!!!!!! Anyway about your comments-- first, Naruto seeing Sakura and Kenshin. I have a feeling that, as the author, I should know more about this, but I'm not sure if Naruto was surprised or if he suspected it! I think that he knew, y'know? Because he's so close to Sakura, he understands a lot about her. Anyway, I wanted Naruto to feel the same as Sakura did about his relationship with Sasuke: he's insanely jealous that someone has finally managed to fully catch the affections and attentions of their most important person, but in addition to jealousy, they're very sad. They have to let go of something that they don't want to, and that could be their relationship or the fact that they thought they'd always be together forever. Okay, your second comment was on Sakura and Kenshin-- how Sakura kissed him back. I wanted to let Kenshin know that, yes, she did have feelings for him, but neither of them could act on it-- because of Kenshin's job, because of the fan club, because of people's expectations... there's a lot standing in their way. But you know Kenshin pretty well by now-- he's not gonna let that stand in his way. ;) Okay, your third thing: the dress change. Okay, I did this for a few reasons: one, I wanted to change the dress-- I was dissatisfied with the old one; it didn't suit her. Two: I wanted to have it show that Temari is totally fixated on doing whatever she can to make her best friend and favorite teacher happy, even if it means going out of her way to do things like this. And three: Sakura needs to be aware of fact two, not to mention that she looks better in this dress. Okay, your fourth comment was on Temari's the best character, second only to Kenshin. I think so too!!!!!!! Kenshin is awesome, don't you just adore him? And Temari is my favorite character in "Naruto", so I just have to make her awesome whenever I write about her. I also like the way I've portrayed Sasuke in this story: kind, a little joking, but still his Sasuke self. He probably comes in third after Kenshin and Temari. Okay, your fifth comment: Sasuke and Naruto are gonna dance. Yes, they're gonna dance, while Sasuke tells Naruto something very shocking. They're not dancing in public, though-- I can't have them coming out just yet. Well, thank you for your awesome review! I am so excited for my other readers to come back, and I love that you read my story-- you are an awesome reviewer!!! You've seen my dedications, naturally... *blush blush, giggle* Hey, I've noticed on your bio that you like a lot of the same bands and music styles that I do. That's pretty cool! I'm more into metal-- I'm a true headbanger, heh heh heh, while you like more hard rock, but you like Rammstein and Breaking Benjamin and that's good enough for me!!!!rn

Oh, God.
Poor Kenshin and Sakura.
It's so sad that they're both so deliriously in love with each other, but they can't be together.
Just breaks your heart, ne?
Naruto and Sasuke don't have that kind of problem; they could emerge in a relationship with no problems.
Unless they were both self-conscious about being gay...
Or if Naruto is convinced he's leaving Sakura by dating Sasuke...
Wow...
I'm so sad.
And I really want to see how that stupid fanclub dies. They remind me a lot of Sohma Yuki's fanclub from Furuba.
*Shudders* Bad memories.
Well, update soon, Inuyasha's_Only_1! (Or Sarah... whichever.)
Author's Response: Okay, another spoiler: Naruto is self-conscious. Sasuke has a perfectly good reason not to be. And, I modeled the Fan Club off of the Yuki Shoma Fan Club. ("L-O-V-E Love Yuki Love! We Love Yuki! Luh -luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-LOVE! Luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-LOVE! Go Yuki, go Yuki, Go!" I died laughing. Only the Arisaka Fan Club is a lot meaner.)rn

Yes... they're filler chapters with a slight Sasu/Naru moment.
YES! I always wanted to know how Sakura's feelings for Kenshin are recently. Well, since he admitted to himself that he loved her, I was like, "O.O what does she feel for him?!?!"
And Sasuke's obliviousness is still adorable.
I can't WAIT for the new chapter! I really want to see Kenshin's reaction to the dress!
I can just imagine it... all these girls are wearing these extremely slutty dresses to get his attention (oh, God, those girls were so flighty.) and Sakura shyly pokes into the dance/party thing. Kenshin is mesmerized.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
GAHH I'M SORRY!
I'm going insane over a fanfiction...
update soon!
Author's Response: Ha ha ha, I'm so thrilled to to you get so worked up. Like Sasuke said... it gives me thrills to wind people up, ha ha ha! Anyway, I have something interesting in mind for the dress and Kenshin. You'll see soon, my darling, you'll see soon! We're also gonna have a big SasuNaru fight scene-- oops, I'm giving away spoilers...keep your eye out, dearie! Kisses, Sarah-himern
Name: ChicagoIsCalling7 (Signed) · Date: 30/06/09 - 01:10 pm · For: I Love Her
Ah! Kenshin is a masochist! No, not really, but anyway; awww, this is my favorite KenSaku chapter! Not that they're my favorite pairing in this story, but if they were, I'd love this chapter the most. ^-^' I love the last line, "But...she smelled nice." Cute, funny, and kinda heartbreaking.
Overall, this was sorta an emotional chapter, with a lot of development when it comes to Kenshin and Sakura. He really seemed like a little kid wadnering around with her, and it made him seem more real, and that much more perfect. (he should join our harem ^_-).
Anyway, I don't really know where I'm going with any of this, but what I'm trying to say is - I loved it, you work hard and come up with this brilliant stuff! Keep it up! ^-^
Author's Response: Kenshin DOES torture himself a lot, doesn't he? He has to be that kind of character, though-- he's like a moth that's drawn to a light and keeps coming back even when he gets burned. So it's your favorite KenSaku chapter? You like KenSaku, right? You say it's not your favorite couple, because it's SasuNaru, but do you prefer other couples over them? Like ShikaTema, or NejiTen, or KibaHina? Have I done a better job with irrelevant couples than my very own original pairing?!?!?rnOkay, enough about that-- no matter how adorable or gentleman-y Kenshin is, he's still just a kid. Twenty-two is still young. And, YES, HE SHOULD JOIN OUR HAREM! To anyone reading that who doesn't know about our reverse-Harem, we must look like perverts, huh, Hannahkins? Hahaha!rnI will continue writing wonderful chapters for you guys, as long as you keep reading. rnKisses, Sarah-hime

Damn, that was short. I didn't know you could even publish chapters that short.
It was so short and unsatisfying with a cruel cliffhanger. >.< How mean! Especially after that nice SasuNaru moment, now you go and torture me like this! Grr!
But... what the heck happened?!
BTW, you did make Sasuke seem very smart. Tee hee, so Sasuke is gonna be the possessive type in your story? Cute Naruto and possessive Sasuke... ^-^
Author's Response: That WAS short, wasn't it? But some chapters are going to be short and some will be long, y'know? Okay, back to your review...let's see... okay, you said that I start to torture you after that nice SasuNaru moment. My reply: Well, duh! What do you expect me to do? Stories need conflict, and I have to move KenSaku along, too. rnOkay, next comment: Sasuke is smart, but is he possessive? My reply: Hell yes. He's soooo possessive. If someone makes a move on his Naruto... I can see it now: "If you touch my dobe, I will give you pain!"

Kyaa!! I got a dedication! How sweet of you!
Anyway, okay, at the very end I was pretty worried about Sakura, but really, I was squealing the whole time from that SasuNaru moment! It totally sedated me, I have been waiting for another one and this one was so brilliant/cute/amazing!
I absolutely love how Naruto was blushing like crazy, so uke-ish of him, and so cute! And how Sasuke was totally oblivious? And Naruto is just so smitten and he doesn't even know it and... kya! Great job Sarahkins! I loved it!
Oh, and as usual, you have a talent for making the characters emotions felt and for description, allowing the story to really come to life. Amazing. ^-^
Author's Response: I've dedicated chapters to you before, right? In "Jealousy to the Max." I knew you'd be squealing during that SasuNaru moment. I felt like it describes their relationship kinda well, in some very odd way... like, there's a constant eagerness and hesitancy. Thanks for your constant reviews, Hannahkins-- they help a lot. I'll write plenty more to satisfy your hunger for SasuNaru.
Name: ChicagoIsCalling7 (Signed) · Date: 30/06/09 - 12:41 pm · For: Phone Call
Yes, yes that was a bit pointless. Really pointless, actually. But it was a cute filler nonetheless; Naruto is so sweet! Yes, I'm biased toward him, duh. Anyway, moving on to the next chapter. Please let it be from Naruto or Sasuke's POV... ^-^
Author's Response: I think, ultimately, that chapter was important-- to show the twins' relationship with their parents, and to show that they miss them, and care about them. Parents can be a help or a hinderance to stories, and I want to make them help in whatever situation I can.

Awww, that made my heart ache! I wonder if I've said that before? Probably.
Yeah, I finally started reading your new chapters. ^-^' No need to kill me; anyway, you are such a het lover, I don't know what to do with you. And you are so infatuated with KenSaku. But that's okay, cause this chapter would make any reader fall in love with KenSaku too.
Poor Kenshin! I don't know what else to say! You managed to invoke feelings of pity and sadness... you did a lot of great describing, that one instant when Kenshin ran back to get Sakura, great job there.
Anyway, I have a lot more to read, so that's all for now. ^-^
Author's Response: You've said that my chapters have caused heartache before, yes. Thanks for reiterating!!! <3 Anyway, I am a het fan in most cases, so I do tend to write better het situations than yaoi or yuri situations. EXCEPT KUROFAI! I could write pages and pages of KuroFai! Oh, how I loooooove KuroFai!!! I'm in love-love! Love-love-love-love-love! KuroFai, KuoFai....!!!!! rnAlso, you said that this chapter could make any reader fall in love with KenSaku-- does that include you? And you think that Kenshin running back for Sakura was good? I thought it was stupid at the time, but I knew I just had to include it-- when else would I get the chance? I also thought Sakura starting to cry was kinda dumb, too... but I realized that someone as confused about her feelings for Kenshin as she is, it would be almost expected for her to become very upset when the person she loves-- but she doesn't recognize that fact yet-- is cold to her. I also like that Yuki was watching her intensely enough to notice that Kenshin was unkind, and also that she cared about him.

Haha; thank you for the dedication!
It was an amazing chapter, and I feel honoured.
It took all of my power not to burst into giggles; between Kenshin's adorable antics, Sakura's obliviousness to Kenshin's affections, and how Kenshin told off Ryu ("So back off - she's taken.") Well, I guess that could fit in to the 'adorable antics' thing.
Ew, Ryu is so creepy. I wonder what he looks like...? I'm imagining an oily snake-like guy, kinda like that one dude in Lord of the Rings: Two Towers.
Sorry, I'm branching off into weird subjects.
Haha, it's true, too: Ken/Saku is extremely addicting.
Author's Response: I think I described Ryu in the third chapter as being good-looking, but having something weasel-ish about him. Very pointed features. Um... sandy blond hair, paler skin, and he's not very well built. He carries himself very proudly because he has money and power and yes, he's very well aware of it. (Ha ha ha, I can imagine very well him looking like Grima Wormtongue-- sorry for any misspellings. I love the Lord of the Rings; my dad used to read it aloud to me before I went to bed when I was three or four and I was permanently hooked.)rnThank you for the review! I tried to make this chapter a good thing for KenSaku fans. I love Kenshin, he's ridiculously cute. I try to make him confused and very sure of himself at the same time. Like, he knows he loves Sakura (every time I type Sakura, I want to put a "chan" after her name, it bugs me to no end) but at the same time, he knows that their relationship as teacher and student is getting in the way heavily...as is a certain fan club that will be coming into play very soon.

AW! That was great and sweet and angsty.... Naruto sorting through his thoughts was well written and it was sweet, how he wanted Sasuke to keep holding his hand. In fact, all of his confusion was sweet in the way that we readers know what's happening but Naruto doesn't, and yet we're so happy it's happening! ^^
Did that make sense at all?
Basically, I love this chapter! Absolutely amazing!
Best SasuNaru moment to date! I know you're alternating POV's and what not, but I really want to the next chapter to be from Naruto's POV, just to see what happens next.
You left off at a great place as a writer, but as a reader, it annoys me so much that you didn't continue! >.< But I loved it anyway.
Author's Response: !!! There's a name for that-- when the readers understand what's going on but the character doesn't. It's called.... something irony. I don't remember. Grr...is it "character irony"? I don't know. Also, sorry that you'll have to wait for the next SasuNaru chapter... I've got to get in some KenSaku. Because KenSaku is addicting to me!!!!rn

AHHHH!!!!!! Gah, it's like reading Skip Beat all over again... you know what I mean. Anyway, the Sakura and Kenshin chapter was sweet even though it was slightly angsty and I felt bad for the two of them for having such a shaky relationship and all that lack of communication... but, OMG, seriously, not exaggerating here, this was you're best chapter, EVER!!!! EVER!!!! I loved it!!!
My heart ached for Naruto and I wanted to smack Sasuke for being inconsiderate even though he had no idea how Naruto was feeling - and the blond barely knows himself!!! And all the reactions seemed so natural and it didn't seem forced, Naruto's thoughts weren't , y'know, obviously oblivious, like we talked about, y'know? AHH!! It was pure brilliance!! I don't even know what else to say; there were so many lines I liked, practically everything from the hand holding scene, and more!!! Brilliant! I loved it, truly and absolutely!!! Great job Sarahkins! Glad you pushed me to hurry up and read this chapter... ^-^
Author's Response: Ha ha ha. Your reactions are so ridiculous. Now you and someone else mentioned my chapters were angsty. I never thought that-- could you enlighten me? Is angsty bad? Is it good? And how was Sasuke inconsiderate? It's just I'm really curious so I can build on what people say...

Woah... didn't see that one coming. It's so sweet! Naruto is in the process of falling in love with Sasukeeeeeeee ^__^
(I really was eager to read another chapter about Sakura and Kenshin... their love is so addicting, you know? It's like you never want to stop reading about them.)
Author's Response: Sakura and Kenshin ARE addicting, for me too. But I have two good friends waiting for SasuNaru chapters, so I can't let them down. They faithfully review every chapter for me, so I'm in their debt. Ha ha ha, giving them what they what is how I repay them.

....I think that this story is the best one out there right now. It's beautifully written, the characters are likeable (while still keeping in character), and... the story is just really heartwarming. Like love can find the most unlikely of pairs.
Author's Response: !!!!!! Wow, I was totally tickled when I read this. You're so sweet! I love to write, and I love to have people read my writing, and I like to hear what people have to say. Of course, I like to hear good things, but I once got a comment (on another site) that said, "This story sucks. I can't stand the way you do this, etc." and it hurt. But I just told myself that there was something wrong with that person... Anyway, about what you said-- I am really pleased that you think my story is the best out there, and I can't believe you think it's beautifully written-- I just write the way I do with all my stories. I try to keep the characters in character, but expand them more than what we get in the original story. And I try to make it heartwarming and in touch with emotion, so you said the best thing there!! I like unlikely pairs in love, but I don't think opposites attract works very well. Oh well-- I'm already sort of doing that, I find. I have a NaruSaku fic, and I'd love it if you read and reviewed that. If you don't like NaruSaku, then it's okay if you flame it, ha ha ha! Thanks for your review! Keep reading-- I look forward to hearing from you. (And I remember you-- you told me about the wine.)

Aww. This was a longer chapter, btw, thanks for that. ^^ Anyway, there was so much emotion this time. A lot of inner turmoil and subtle hints... very well written. Shika and Temari really have an ideal relationship, and when you compare them to Kenshin and Sakura's current relationship, well, how shaky their relationship is becomes obvious.
Anyway, great job as usual, I'm sure the next chapter will be just as good, if not better. ^^
Author's Response: Yeah, I tried to make it seem that when you put Kenshin and Sakura next to a great couple like Shikamaru and Temari, it seems like the former couple are getting along a lot worse than the latter. I wanted Sakura to seem really confused and angry with herself. She wants more than anything to "be different from all those other girls" who adore Kenshin, but she's starting to fall in love with that kindness and the smile she hates to much. I wanted to make it seem like she can't help it, and because there isn't anyone else in her life (at this time, that is) that she is starting to find something she's attracted to in her teacher. At the same time that she's attracted, she's trying to put herself in reverse and break away from the feelings that she has. Meanwhile, Kenshin is already very attracted to her, and is confused by how she'll be kind and cold, and can't recognize her insecurity.
