! You amaze me with your every chapter! I haven't seen any bad chapters yet (and I'm quite sure we won't see them :D) and you just keep making these awesome chapters one after another! I look like this ":ooooooo" every time I read your texts. That's how awesome they are!
And I really liked this! Can I join the fanclub too? *puppy-eyes*
Author's Response: Yes, you can join the Izumi fanclub!!! It's open for anyone who wants to join. I'm so honored that you say I haven't had any "bad chapters" yet. Thanks a million! It means a lot-- I'm only 14 and still very inexperienced with writing, and I'm trying to get a more advanced, polished style that isn't quite as drawn-out as my current style.

Aaaaaaaaaaa...! There's like *counts* FIVE chapters I haven't read yet! This is turning out to be a good evening/night for me. ^^
But omg, this was so...CUTE! I mean - there's Kei and there's Izumi and they are so....Cute!
Yep, I don't have anything 'intelligent' to say right now. I'm having a cuteness attack.
Author's Response: A cuteness attack? That's really adorable. <3 I'm so sorry we haven't talked in so long, Aino!!!!!! I've missed you lots!! >.< Email me, or I'll email you...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
lol
I would be really, really worried, too.
GOOD CHAPTER!
XD
Author's Response: Thanks! I would be worried as well-- I mean, to have to decide what would happen to your loved ones if you died? That's a scary decision.

Author's Response: "I am and always will"? Sorry, I feel stupid, I missed the joke. :( Whatever, I'll figure it out.

Izumi sleeps with the Lieutenant Colonel!!! haha
Author's Response: Ha ha ha! Like I said, I really got a kick out of this. People started sending me messages like "Izumi sleeps with the Lt. Col.!" after that...

WOAH WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON.

Sounds awesome so far! Have you by any chance read Hana Kimi? :P

Author's Response: ...I HAVE read Hana-Kimi. That's kind of where I got Izumi's name. And her mom is Mizuki... <3 It's one of my all-time favorites. God, it's cute. Thanks for your review. You don't know how much it means for me to get reviews~! <3

Awww.... stupid Hanataro. Getting Sakura/Kei all found out!!
But, I do like him in Bleach. He's cool there! XD
Author's Response: I like him in Bleach too! I like it when he takes his super pill and is suddenly full of energy!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, that was so awesome. You must teach me that sometime.
XD LMAO! I love this Sasuke.
Dude, this'll be so awkward. "You're a dude and you slutted up against me!" "What? I'm not a dude!" "Oh... you're not? Nevermind, then. Troops! Head back to China!"
Author's Response: I LOVED THAT LINE!!!! That and, "Man, I'm gonna get fat on all this rice, Sasuke..." and also, "Score, Kei. Add ten points." And I have everything planned out involving the Chinese troops and all, so it's not gonna be awkward, but your scenario made me snort with laughter. <3

Gahhhh.... it's my junior year this year.... I REALLY hate school.
With a passion of a thousand burning suns. lol
I try to miss out every day that I can. Hahaha.
I'm such a slacker, too. My teachers have a love/hate relationship with me.... I do really good on tests and I'm naturally smart, but I never do my homework. My sister says that I remind her of Shikamaru.
LOL
Author's Response: Yeah, it's my freshman year. I don't really enjoy school, but I do like freshman year. It hasn't been half bad. In fact, it's been rather enjoyable. :) I used to try to miss every day I could in 8th grade, but that was because I had this bipolar math teacher who scared the crap out of me. I'm a slacker too, and smart in the same way you are-- like, I do well on tests and in the class, but I never do homework. When I do, it's in the library, ten minutes before my first class starts, lol. I had a teacher that actually said to me once, "God, what a Shikamaru..." and I flipped. I was like, "I KNOW! Everyone tells me that I'm a Shikamaru~!" and he was like, "Nice to know that someone appreciated it hen I say it." Lol, I laughed so hard.

Okay, I was deterred from reading your story because there was yaoi in it.
I'm sooooo sorry because now I feel like a fool because your story is one of the cutest things I have ever read.
Some parts really, really moved me and almost had me in tears.... it may just be almost 'that time of the month', but this is really amazing!!
I whole-heartedly fell in love with this story.
Now I know that I had nothing to fear about the Yaoi stuff... cause it's more like an unconditional loving friendship... like you know that they are 'together', but it doesn't go 'into depth'. LOL
I'm very greatful for that... I'm a yaoi-a-phobe.... sorry, but I can't help it if I don't like it when two people of the same gender like each other like that!!!
I'm really impressed with your story and I think that Kei/Sakura and Izumi are an amazing pair!!!
Love,
Ardisaur
Author's Response: See, I'm actually not a SasuNaruSasu fan...I kind of do that to get readers in, because it feels like a lot of people like SasuNaruSasu. (Personally, I like NaruSaku.) But I love making OC's for Sakura, so I just throw in that yaoi for the fans. Anyway, I do have a lot of yaoi pairs that I like, but I don't often get the chance to write about them...Whatever, though....Well, thanks a million for your review. I have to catch my school bus in, like, six minutes, so I've gotta go. I'll respond to your second review when I get home. :)rn

And I'd be the crazy worshipper girl that studies black magic in order to let him live forever.
O.O
Damn, I think I just fell in love with Izumi.
Author's Response: Yup-- I'd let you sit in the back of the club room, chanting, lighting incense, and making love potions. Yeah, I fell in love with him too. Isn't he just the greatest, though?! I'm not even kidding you-- what if a guy like Izumi really existed?! I'd marry him in 0.0000001 seconds. Dude, when he was telling her just how much he wanted give in but he never did, I just about died. AND I WROTE IT!!! I am SOOOO proud of myself for making a character quite so incredible as Izumi. Now, who do you like better: Izumi from "Firefly Tears", or Kenshin from "You Found Me"? That's a bit of a food-for-thought one, but I think in the end I'd pick Izumi...he's just a stronger sort of character. Like if Kenshin was Tamaki, then Izumi is Inuyasha, and I'd pick Inuyasha over Tamaki, but only by a sliver...

Well, I'd imagine that you were the Literature teacher's favourite. Your stories are... amazing; especially for a freshman. If you were in my Literature class, you'd automatically replace me as the teacher's favourite. ^___^
Caramelldansen? You don't know what that is? Okay, you've GOT to search it up on YouTube. It's in Swedish, btw, haha.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRs8dMZpIAI
About character deaths, I had that looming in the back of my head, but I just dismissed it as unthinkable and just tried to ignore my raising suspicion. If Izumi dies, Sakura will go on living, because that's just who she is, right? But if Sakura dies, Izumi's grief will just kind of consume him to the point in which he'll take his life. I also think that the Sasuke/Naruto pairing is in danger. >.<
DAMMIT, I will not cry.
Well, that's not very nice of your teacher. She refuses to speak English?
GAELIC? Dude, that's epic. The only languages I know are French and Japanese, haha.
As for the AMV, my favourite anime couples have got to be Neji/Hinata and Naruto/Gaara. A lot of people shoot me down for this at my school. ("Ew! Incest!" or "Ew! Gay!")
God, you know how much it sucks to go to school with a load of narrow-minded, bigoted, ignorant people every day? And then, you've got to admit to yourself, these are the people we graduate with. People like you and me are hard to come by, sadly.
Author's Response: Well, I'm my literature teacher's favorite because I impressed her by saying I was "sanguine" on the first day of school, and then telling her that my favorite book when I was six was Wuthering Heights (the question was, "When you were in 1st grade, what was your favorite book?"). I'll have to check out the Caramelldansen. (Also, if you ever wonder why I can't ever reply on a new line is that I just get funny symbols when I press enter and it shows up on the reply...) Okay, on character deaths: I can give you spoilers if you want, but they'll only make you very unhappy. My goal is to kill off at least one main character because it's a weakness of mine to let them live. And you're right about Izumi-- he would just get swallowed in his grief. And it's not jsut the Sasuke/Naruto pairing in danger-- this is a war story, Christina-- everyone is in danger. And on the topic of my Spanish teacher, it's just so that we learn to speak Spanish and be able to translate as quick as possible. Also, your favorite couples-- thanks for the info. I'll be thinking up some songs and stuff to fit those pairings. I think I've got just the song for NejiHina. I'm lucky to have people around me who are totally okay with the gay and incest thing, and I totally am open about it too-- to tell you the truth, I'm the girl who sits daydreaming about her class prez and vice prez in a yaoi story...lol.

Damn. Your teachers don't sound very promising, haha. Not a lick of English? How the hell did she get a job in the States? (I'm only assuming you live in the States, so if you don't sorry, haha.)
One of our teachers last year was a right-winged nutjob. I mean, really. I'm so lucky I didn't have him as a teacher.
Another one that I actually get in freshman year is a Math teacher that doesn't teach you shit, and expects you to do everything. This, I'm mad about, because I suck at Math.
I hope you pass through freshman year without any problems. You sound like the ultra-smart genius type, so it should be no problem.
And for the AMV, you can choose what you'll do. It's your present for me, and I can't be picky about it, right? ^__^ I trust ya.
Author's Response: I mean, the teacher does speak English, but she just hasn't spoken English to us yet. (And yeah, i live in the States-- Ohio, in fact. What an awesome state-- I used to not like it, but now there's no place I'd rather live!) I suck at math too-- I repeated prealgebra and squeaked by in algebra because I got a perfect score on the final exams last year. Now I'm in geometry and praying I do all right. I'm actually not the extra-smart genius type...except in world history and English. I'm an ace in English-- already the teacher's favorite. I'll make you an awesome AMV. Just give me a manga or a couple or something to work with...anything you want! :) And don't be mean and give me a couple like IchiRuki or NaruHina...please!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll do any other couple, just not those two!!!!!!

Haha! YES! I feel like jumping up and doing the Caramelldansen.
Dans, send med oss, Sakura and Izumi!
Sorry. That was stupid.
Well, at least, I felt like that until I read the last two paragraphs; then I was smacked in the face with reality.
It's not good to have emotional ties when you're a soldier. That's why ninja have Shinobi Guidelines that restrict the show of emotion. God, if this story were real, Kei and Izumi have less than a 10% chance of living, and that's given their awesome swodsmanship.
Update soon!
Author's Response: What is the Caramelldansen? It sounds like a Dutch pastry. And "dans, send med oss"? I only speak English, Spanish, and Gaelic! Help me out here, Christina!!! Anyway, yeah-- I wanted to sort of emphasize the fact that now that Izumi and Kei are together and every thing's all happy and they're finally able to love each other freely, suddenly there's the fact that they're SOLDIERS. They're probably going to die. (By the way, I've already decided who lives and who dies. It will make you cry.) Kei and Izumi are in great peril, as is there relationship. But when a person dies, it doesn't mean a bond dies too. And, even though everyone says to never give your heart to a soldier, I've gotta think that they hold onto hearts with all their soul.

Kiai, I can't wait to read more! This is so AWESOME. Kei and Izumi are so...so...so... CUTE! Cuteness overload!
But I'm happy she was accepted back. (Well, I guess the words "Sorry, we can't have you back, now die!" in this story would've been... Hell of a surprise. And just wrong.)
I hope you are doing fine in your school! :D (I know I'm not, I hate university.)
Author's Response: IzuKei is AWESOME!! I love Izumi, he's so sweet and gentle. Actually, to tell you the truth, my ideal guy is Inuyasha (minus the whole thing about being unsure of whether he likes Kagome or Kikyo)-- the whole tough-guy act, brash, over-protective and a bit of the jealous type, and will willingly throw himself into danger for the person most important to him, and also the fact that there are times when he can be kind and warm-hearted. Ichigo from Bleach and Kyo from Fruits Basket are also like that, but I'm a total Inuyasha fangirl all the way. And by the way, school's going good...it's my first year of high school, which is a bit scary and a bit overwhelming, but I've decided to take on a clean slate and shave off everything unnecessary: fake friends, boy problems, beauty problems (though I do take care of my appearance), and just being the person I feel most comfortable being, you know? It's time for me to prove to my classmates the kind of woman I really am! YEAH! GO ME!

Yay! Sakura is going back!
Is the troop going to accept her back? o_O I mean, women are not allowed in the army, so it'd be kinda strange if they did. But then again, it's Kei! They need her to assasinate the continent's leader!
Author's Response: Yup-- I don't know how they'd be able to say no to her, really...

Oh yeah, Hamtaro got what he deserved! A rejection!
(I'm a bit feverish, so if I say something weird, blame it on the fever).
I actually hoped they would kick his ass or something, but I guess Izumi rejecting him is pretty painfull to him too.
Author's Response: Yeah-- even more painful than a beating, I think, is rejection from people you care about. I mean, physical wounds you can get over, but emotional and mental wounds...they're really tough. I hope you feel better, and I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. School and all...

Ah; freshman year's already started for you? I've got a good week before mine.
Yeah, haha, my birthday's on Sept. 12. Thank you for noticing/remembering. ^__^
I'm so excited for school to start. xP How's your school year so far?
Author's Response: Yup, I started on August 20th. My school year so far is...ridiculous. I have a teacher who treats me like I'm her child, another who has yet to even notice me (she's kinda spacey), a teacher who thinks I'm a lot better than I really am, another teacher who was an instant favorite, a teacher who hasn't spoken a lick of English to me yet (though I can translate what she's saying as fast as she talks), and another teacher who has let us know-- many times now in the first two days-- that she doesn't give a damn about any of us. Yup-- that's my year so far. And I KNEW it! I KNEW your birthday was in September! I kept thinking the 12th, too, and I was like, "Could that be right?" but I wasn't sure. I think you mentioned it in one of your reviews on "Sakura's Angel." Yeah, I'll make you an AMV. Any requests? (I don't do yuri, so if your birthday is balanced on a yuri AMV, you're outta luck, pal.) You can request a couple and a song, or a couple and have me surprise you with the song. Your pick. (I'm still trying to get a program that will let me use anime episodes, so for now it will just have to be pictures or manga scenes...)rn

Well, holy balls, that was so unexpected and random.
Hanatarou is in love with Izumi. What the shit. That's like, Beauty and the Douchie Thing from Hell.
Go, Sakura, go! Holy crap, what if she meets up with Douchie? Eh, she'll pound the crap out of him. Or spare his life, because she's so noble.
Update soon! Really soon!
Author's Response: I LOVE IT! "Beauty and the Douchie Thing from Hell"!!!!! That's hilarious!!!!!!!! Also, I'm not planning on them meeting-- but if they did, she'd pound the crap out of him, but spare his life anyway. Like what Izumi said-- she wouldn't want him dead.

Aww, Shuuji sounds so sweet!
I have a feeling that the whole relationship between Sakura and Shuuji wont last but its really cute.
Though I prefere Sakura and Izumi, even if Izumi was an idiot.
Keep writing!!!
Author's Response: Thanks for your review! I'm glad you enjoyed! I'll keep writing if you keep reading, 'kay? ;)

Shuuji's such a great guy. He understands her situation, and he's not forcing her to do anything.
Plus the fact that he likes her for who she is.
That having been said, WHY DID YOU KISS HER, SHUUJI?! You know damn well she's still in love with Izumi!
Author's Response: He kissed her because he couldn't hold himself back! He loves her-- he said so! Ah, young love-- it sucks! So, how are you? I'm doing all right. Exhausted from school, but all right. It's your birthday soon, right? (I think you might've mentioned it...) I'll make you another AMV. Ho-hum, I'm so bored and on a weird high from nothing...and I'm trying to master the piano version of rn"Bratja"...it's not turning out very well...

LMFAO.
Well, thank you, Sarah, for the special video.
xD I can't stop cracking up. "I guess I got you pretty good!"
What's that song called?!
Damn, haha... xP (Sarah - 1, Christina - 0.)
Author's Response: Ha, I'm glad you liked it! My favorite line is, "I can't belieeeeve you fell for that! You're so gullible!" and "I really love you...NOT!" The song is called "I Was Only Kidding" by Weird Al Yankovic.
