So it seems that there was some confusion with the last chapter, hopefully everything's cleared up here. Well I don't have much to say so here we are.

~/Sasuke P.O.V/~

Sasuke groggily opened his eyes, feeling his heart pound as the world came into focus. "Good morning, my dear." Sasuke jumped forward, trying to focus his eyes and find the owner of the voice. He held his head, it was throbbing in pain, "Sorry about that that poison was a little strong, but I had to make sure you were out."

"Why?" Sasuke questioned as Orochimaru laid on a couch parallel to the one he was lying on.

"Cause you probably wouldn't talk to me otherwise."

"Where are we?"

"I don't quite know the name of this place, but honey, you're a good distance from Konoha."

"What do you mean a good distance?"

"You basically left through the back entrance, we're on the other side of the mountain range."

"Why are you here?"

"Yeah, you see, this is another one of my bases. Kabuto was working with the Akatsuki, has been since the beginning, and happened to find you."

"Yeah, and he had a snake, with poison able to knock out a vampire, on hand."

"Yes, actually, what if he was followed? By the time they found you and figured out I had betrayed Obito if Kabuto wasn't out, he would need protection."

"Hn."

"What about Obito?"

"He got crushed under the rubble as far as I could tell. However, I saw no body or ash and he can teleport so I doubt he's dead."

"Seriously, what'd you do? Why'd it collapse?"

"Naruto lost control of his power, once one section was out the rest followed. This is the second time you've helped us, why?" Sasuke asked, leaning on his hand as the pain finally subsided and the nonexistent stars in his mind's eyes stopping doing backflips.

"I'm simply being kind, why is that so odd?" Sasuke glared at Orochimaru receiving a sly smile in return as Orochimaru held his hands up defensively, "Okay, you got me. While I was just lending a helping hand, I'm also expecting something in return."

"That is?"

"I don't quite know yet. Until then, accept my good graces, my dear."

"I know you too well, what do you mean?"

Orochimaru sighed, flopping back on the couch and putting his hands behind his head, "I'll explain later, for now you should probably take care of your little fox."

"My little fox?" Sasuke questioned, then his eyes went big, "What did you do to Naruto?" He hissed, jumping to his feet.

Orochimaru laughed, "That was a beautiful reaction." He smiled at the Uchiha, "Don't worry, Kabuto's taking care of him."

"No, I'm taking him to a human hospital."

Orochimaru turned serious, "Don't worry. Kabuto was a doctor working under the hunters before he was turned. He has the proper knowledge, and if you do choose to take him to a hospital, then there'll be questions and by the time you get him to a hospital we'll have already been able to treat him."

"How bad is it?" Sasuke asked, anxiously biting his cheek in an attempt to hold his worry as he hesitantly sat back down.

"Good boy." Ororchimaru smiled, ignoring the glare he received, "Don't worry, that Uzumaki blood is strong, not to mention he awakened his bloodline ability."

"I don't care what you've done, I don't trust you, no matter the situation you hold no loyalties."

Orochimaru smiled, "I know. Despite that, I'll keep those whom I can use close, I won't do anything to tarnish our relationship, I need you."

Sasuke glared at Orochimaru, looking the man up and down, "Of course you'll tell me when my use runs out."

Orochimaru gave a large smile, "Of course, my dear. Granted, I need reassurance too. I need you, not your little fox."

"In other words, my loyalty in exchange for Naruto's life. Why don't I just rip your throat out?"

"Touchy, touchy, but as it seems, you need me, and even if you didn't, in your prime you probably could rip my throat out and you might even be able to get past all my experiments and guards, and walk out, but even then you're not in your prime and if you walk out you'll have nowhere to go, and a hunter or a human, in Naruto's shape, won't survive long enough for you to figure out your next move. I need your help and in exchange we'll treat and watch over Naruto, and you, plus you owe me two favors, both of which I plan on collecting."

"Fine. So, explain. What am I doing here?"

"Follow me." Orochimaru smiled, standing up and walking from the room. Sasuke curiously following behind as Orochimaru began talking. "Before the coup Kabuto was working with the Akatsuki, he was working with Obito's men, tweaking a few details here and there for him. He was there in order to prepare for the new men coming in, of course, when you initiated your little coup he had to back out. When he did, he stole a bunch of files from them, coming out the same way as you guys in order to meet with me, and then of course, he met you guys." Orochimaru was quiet for a moment, stopping at a nearby door, unlocking it and entering, Sasuke following behind. Sasuke looked around, there was a desk next to the door, with a large bookshelf at the far end. In the middle of the office was a couch on the far side and two arm chairs opposite of it, in the middle was a coffee table, which was covered with boxes of files.

"What's in them?" Sasuke asked, walking over to the box and pulling out a manila folder, flipping through it.

"I don't know, we haven't gone through them yet. We've only just got them."

"I don't get it, why are you putting your neck out like this, you of all people?"

"I'll do anything for the sake of my experiments, to accomplish my goal and change a creature's species. No matter what subset of vampire, or a hunter or human."

"Why is it so important to you?"

"Well, my dear," Orochimaru grabbed a file, slumping onto the couch, "I wanna give people a choice."

Sasuke stifled a laugh, "That's precious, you're not that noble."

Orochimaru smiled, "True, but I'm a scientist; I want to see if I can do it. Maybe I'll sell whatever I find, give people the choice."

"Don't you question the effect that'll have?"

"I don't care. Obito was working by himself, without my knowledge, keeping his findings from me while misusing my experiments." Orochimaru scoffed, "As if he can do it without me, but then, you came along, I'd rather have Konoha and the Uchiha brothers on my side when the tides begin changing. The first favor I'll cash in is your help going through all of this." Sasuke nodded, sitting in one of the armchairs, opposite of Orochimaru,

"Then let's get this over with, Naruto's fine, right?"

"Yes."

"How can I trust you?"

"He's still asleep, and Kabuto's still treating him, it'll be better to leave him alone and let him recover. I'm here, it's not like I can do anything."

"I'm not so sure about Kabuto though."

"Hey, I told you, I wouldn't do anything to tarnish our relationship. I need you, I won't touch him, I promise, my dear." Orochimaru winked.

~/Naruto P.O.V/~

Naruto gave a deep breath as he jumped up from the bed he sat on. He looked around the room, he lay in a hospital bed, but the room was dark, he was attached to an IV. A nearby tray held a bunch of sharp objects, he looked them over, some were covered in blood. He moved from the bed, pulling the IV drip out as he moved to his feet, it wasn't painful. He felt good. He looked around, wires were exposed and the room was dark, it obviously wasn't a hospital room. He stepped forward, stopping when the door opened,

"You shouldn't move yet, you're still too injured." Kabuto spoke, grabbing Naruto's shoulders and moving to push him back onto the bed. Naruto flinched at the touch as he pushed Kabuto away from him, barely able to see the face in front of him due to the dim lighting, Naruto's pupils turned red as a black foxlike slit appeared in his pupil. He threw Kabuto into the wall, running from the room.

~/Sasuke P.O.V/~

"What's in that file?" Orochimaru questioned.

"Looks like blood tests." Sasuke said.

"Move on, it's probably just information on some of our experiments." Orochimaru said, reading through his own file.

"That's strange."

"What?"

"These blood tests, it's not just blood tests. It's poison."

"Poison?"

"Give me a second." Sasuke stopped as he read over the file. "He was experimenting on the poison vampires inject to turn others." Sasuke replied.

"Well that's not too strange, we were trying to figure out what in the poison allowed human's to change species, it's extremely hard to extract though, and there's still too much about it we don't know."

Sasuke threw the file in his hand aside, grabbing another one. "Patient records." Sasuke commented, reading through it.

"Let me see that." Orochimaru said, throwing the file in his hands aside and grabbing the one from Sasuke. He read it over, "Files on our experiments, it seems."

"Why were they set aside though, we haven't seen any others."

"You're right." Orochimaru replied, handing Sasuke half of the file. "Look for similarities between them. Let's find out why they were set aside." The two looked up as the heard a large slamming sound. Sasuke looked curiously at Orochimaru, who just shrugged. The two threw their files to the side, running through the door and towards the noise. The two saw a head of blonde hair in front of them. Naruto holding his hands up as he slowly backed away from Kabuto and three other guards. Naruto moved to attack one of the men, Sasuke grabbing the boy's hands from behind. Naruto fiercely pulled away from Sasuke's hands, charging forward towards Kabuto, quickly turning to see who attacked him from behind.

Sasuke stood for a moment, surprised that Naruto was able to push him off. He saw the slits in Naruto's eyes waver as the man looked at him.

~/Naruto P.O.V/~

Naruto faced Sasuke, memories rushing back to him as he thought about Obito and Sasuke fighting, then, did that mean, he wasn't in the arena anymore? Before Naruto could organize all the rushing memories he was tackled by the three guards.

"Enough." Sasuke hissed at the guards, "Really, dobe, you're injured." Sasuke said, grabbing Naruto's wrists and helping him to his feet. Relief washed over him at the familiar nickname, he jumped forward in relief, hugging Sasuke's neck. Sasuke froze at the contact, after a second he awkwardly returned the hug, gently hugging the boy's waist. Naruto tightened his grip on Sasuke, Sasuke finally allowing himself to become engulfed with the contact, burying his head into the boy's shoulder and tightening his grip on Naruto's waist.

Orochimaru gave a small cough, Sasuke releasing the boy and Naruto hesitantly following, "Kabuto, how's he?"

"Well, he had some really bad injuries at first, but, as you can see, he's healed up pretty fast." Kabuto said.

"Understood, lead them to one of the guest rooms. I'm gonna return to the files." Orochimaru said, shooing them.

Kabuto listened, leading them to the guest room, on the left of the hall, "The next door room is also a guest room so you can just switch between them, but as I know it, you don't sleep much, Sasuke." Kabuto said as he stopped in front of one of the rooms.

Sasuke nodded in appreciation as Kabuto left. The two entered the room, looking around, there wasn't much in the room, just a small twin bed in the corner, pushed against the wall and a small desk and chair next to the door. "Expected as much." Sasuke commented, looking at it.

"What's going on?" Naruto asked, looking around the room.

"Basically, you released your bloodline ability and you lost control, destroying Obito's hideout. When we left, we left through a back entrance and arrived in an unfamiliar place. Orochimaru not only helped us then, but also helped us at Obito's hideout, for now I'm helping him out, we're trying to get Obito. You don't need to worry too much, for now just relax, okay?" Naruto looked at Sasuke, "Naruto, it's probably way too soon, but if there's anything you want to talk about, anything that happened, I'll listen."

Naruto smiled, moving over to the bed, sitting down on it and shrugging, "I'm fine." Sasuke looked at him. He leaned next to the boy, gently petting his legs as he looked over his injuries. Sasuke stood up, grabbing Naruto's arm and looking over it.

"You're really are healing fast, that's good."

"So, what's next then?" Naruto asked.

"I still have to contact the others, and pay Orochimaru back for his help, I gotta do what I can even if it means helping that snake. Until I know the situation back in Konoha I'd prefer to not send you back."

Naruto smiled, shaking his head no, "No, it's fine, I'll help here, I mean I'm here anyway and I had the most recent contact with Obito."

"Think about it for a bit, I don't wanna force you, you just woke up so let's give it some time and figure out the rest later."

~/Sasuke P.O.V/~

"Are you kidding me?" Itachi snapped.

"What do you want me to do? We don't have a car and Naruto's still not in the shape to move, yeah, it would probably take a day or two to get back to Konoha but honestly this is our best chance to get all of the Akatsuki members."

Itachi sighed into the phone, changing the subject, "It seems like most of the hideout collapsed, and it took a little less than a quarter of eastern Konoha with it. It's really not much, and as far as we can tell it's mainly small farms that were impacted. The only real causalities were hunter turned that were in the hideout, otherwise the others are fine. Some parts of the hideout are still intact, mainly what was under the mountain. Right now we're working on stabilizing it, if it collapses, then we'll have a real problem on our hands. We also have a large number of hunters turned and what not running around, they're easy enough to kill, but it's just more unnecessary problems. What happened to Obito?" Itachi asked.

"He's still alive, most likely."

"How'd the hideout even collapse?"

"I don't really know myself. Naruto's power just went out of control and once one section broke everything else just followed." Sasuke spoke, stopping for a second, "How are the others?"

"They're all fine. Though I have a few choice words for you about leaving Kyuubi behind." Itachi growled.

"Kyuubi's a big boy and he can take care of himself."

"Oh, I know he's a big boy." Itachi flirted.

"Not the time." Sasuke spoke.

Itachi laughed into the phone, "Okay, so what now?"

"I don't have a choice, I'm staying and seeing what I can learn."

"Be careful, I really don't trust Orochimaru, what are his motives?"

"The only thing I know for sure is if it's in his benefit he'll be our strongest ally."

"I'm just worried, okay? Be careful, Sasuke."

"More than anything, I'm worried about Naruto, he's too calm, too collected, and after everything."

"Well, how are his outwardly injuries?"

"Mostly gone, I'm not surprised, Kyuubi's power allowed him to heal as fast as most vampires when he was human. I'm more worried about his mentality."

"Well what do you expect after everything?"

"I don't know. I just hope that some time without any fighting or drama, maybe Naruto can relax and just let it out."

"I'm gonna talk to Tsunade for you, okay? Though I don't like Orochimaru, the more I think about this it's definitely not a bad idea. If you guys stayed there for a while, away from Konoha, at least until things get back to normal and settle down, it'd be safer. Protect each other, Sasuke."

"You don't need to say that."

"I know, good night, little brother." Itachi finished, hanging up. Sasuke sighed, hanging up the phone and returning to the room.

"What was it?" Naruto questioned as Sasuke returned.

"I just wanted to call my brother, tomorrow you should call Iruka and them, they've been worried."

"Okay." Naruto nodded.

"I gotta go and help Orochimaru finish with those files, you should get some sleep."

"Got it, night."

"Night." Sasuke nodded to Naruto as he left, Naruto turning over in the bed and watching the wall.

~/Naruto P.O.V/~

"I miss you too." Naruto smiled,

"Are you hurt? Is everything okay?" Iruka questioned.

"For the third time, I'm fine Iruka, I'm with Sasuke and everything's fine."

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Iruka." Naruto pouted into the phone.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Look Kakashi wants to talk, and Kiba, and Gaara and, well, I'll just pass you on." Naruto inwardly groaned, it wasn't that he wasn't happy, but he was more annoyed with the numerous repeated questions and well-meaning, but unneeded, concern.

"Hey kid."

"Hey, Kakashi. First, I just wanna thank you, Sasuke said how you were one of the people who came after me, I really appreciate it."

"Don't mention it, Naruto." Kakashi smiled. "We love you kid, don't you ever do that to us again."

Naruto gently smiled, "I love you too, I'll try not to."

~/Sasuke P.O.V/~

"The four noble clans appear pretty often, mainly the Uzumaki." Sasuke commented as they flipped through the files. "Experiments, blood tests, trials, all this stuff, why was he so obsessed? And what's so important about the Uzumaki's power?"

"What does Naruto know about his powers?"

"Not much, I mean, they only recently awoke in him and his parents never taught him much. Naruko might have mentioned something in the videos she made for him, but she herself couldn't completely control it."

"Okay, well, what about Kyuubi, he's not part of the direct line, but he is an Uzumaki, one that was old enough to awaken this power."

"Well we know that all Uzumaki's can awaken it, but only a direct descendant can master it. I don't think Kyuubi ever thought much of it." Sasuke replied.

"What do you know, not about the power, but the Uzumaki's in general?"

"What can I know? My entire life was spent against them, and most records were destroyed in one war or another."

"True, but where would Obito get this information?"

"There might be something left at the original Uzumaki hideout, no one specially went to destroy their records after the civil war ended but even then there shouldn't be anything significant before Itachi and my time.

"Anywhere else?" Ororchimaru questioned.

"I don't know, but what does it matter, we'll be looking for some power that randomly appeared, like that's not common enough in a clan's history, it'd be impossible to find the exact source he's looking for."

"Okay, so how does this power connect with the bloodlines? How does this Uzumaki bloodline ability connect to all bloodlines? How does it all connect?" The two thought for a second, but neither said anything.

"Okay, look, what do we know about the Uzumaki? They were originally part of the Senju clan, however the clan began dividing because some of the clansmen began developing the ability to seal, and their stamina, healing rate and lifespans grew exponentially, finally they became so different that they broke off from the Senju clan and developed their own clan, the Uzumaki." Sasuke spoke.

"It's fair to say they were Kurama's descendants, otherwise, why would there suddenly be a division?" Orochimaru questioned.

"It just takes one person to awaken some rare ability and it becomes a common for their descendants, though I agree with you, that might have been caused by Kurama, we can't ignore other possibilities."

"Well, could you get a hold of the Senju files?"

"They're undoubtedly gone, and the break off was before Itachi and my time."

"Well when did that power up thing appear in the Uzumaki bloodline?" Orochimaru asked.

"Again, before my time."

Orochimaru pouted, "You're so useless." Sasuke glared at Orochimaru. "Would your little pet know?"

"Would you stop cursing Naruto?" Sasuke glared receiving an uninterested shrug in response, "I don't wanna bring it up if I don't have to and if Naruto did know something important don't you think he would've said something?"

Orochimaru sighed in irritation at the response, "We don't even know where the loyalties of your fox lie, you shouldn't put so much faith in him."

"What do you mean?"

"We don't know what happened with Obito and him, Obito might have done something, please; he probably did."

"I dare you to touch him." Sasuke growled.

"Don't worry, I know he's yours, my dear. However, don't forget, the boy spent almost a month at Obito's side, he can't be trusted." Orochimaru said in irritation, emphasizing the words, 'my dear.'

"I sure as hell trust him more than I trust you."

"That's fine, but I don't trust him. I'm putting my neck out too." Orochimaru sighed in irritation.

"You don't need to trust him."

"Fine, still, if he does know something he might not realize it's important. You should give Naruto the choice, you're too strict, dear."

"What should be my choice?" Naruto asked, entering the room and returning Orochimaru's phone.

"What happened while you were with Obito, did he say anything?" Orochimaru bluntly asked.

Naruto thought for a moment, shrugging, "Obito said he wanted my power." Sasuke felt his concern grow by how easily the boy answered the question.

"Why, what's so important?" Orochimaru questioned.

"I don't know, sorry."

"No, it's fine. Naruto, how are you feeling, physically, I mean?" Sasuke questioned, Naruto smiled, shrugging,

"It doesn't hurt."

Orochimaru stood up, interrupting the two. "Well I'm getting hungry. I'm gonna go get some blood, want some?" He looked at Sasuke.

"No." Sasuke stopped, "Hey, do you have human food here?"

"Some animal meat, maybe, and a few herbs, I think."

"Hn." Sasuke looked at Naruto, "Are you hungry?"

"Hm? Not really, kinda." Naruto shrugged in response.

"When was the last time you ate?"

Naruto looked up, awkwardly scratching his head, "I don't remember."

"Are you kidding me?" Sasuke growled, "Say something next time, dobe!" Sasuke scowled, rubbing his temples. "Come on." Sasuke said, signaling for Naruto to follow.

"I'll take you to our fridge." Orochimaru smiled as he led them away.

Orochimaru walked to the fridge, grabbing a bottle full of crimson liquid, to which both assumed was blood. "Just don't confuse animal and human meat." Orochimaru smiled.

"Is there any place to buy food nearby?" Sasuke asked.

"I haven't really looked, you might find edible berries on the trees." Orochimaru replied.

"The steak is fine, as long as it's not human." Naruto laughed awkwardly.

"Oh well." Sasuke replied, unsure, heading to the fridge and grabbing a pack of meat, smelling it curiously, then looking at Orochimaru, "You weren't kidding about the human meat, were you?"

"Of course not, the DNA is used in experiments, and it's just as good as blood." Sasuke sighed, grabbing another pack, smelling it, then once again looking at Orochimaru, "Hunter. Should I ask where you got this?"

"Don't worry, my dear, I rob graves."

"Nice." Sasuke shook his head in annoyance, grabbing another bag. "Okay, is this really animal meat or did you do something to it?"

"It's safe, don't worry, animal DNA has its uses too. Vampires, humans and hunters aren't the only species on this planet."

"So, what, you're trying to make a werewolf now?"

Orochimaru laughed, "I love the imagination humans have, but, why not. I mean our facial structures shift when we become vampires, and it's painless, so I don't see why we can't change even more, with the help of an animals DNA. Of course, they don't mix, so that's for later, once I can mess with our subset."

"Good luck with that." Sasuke sighed, looking around the kitchen, then at Orochimaru. "No stove, really?"

"We have a Bunsen burner and a kiln."

"I can make a kiln work."

"Follow me, honey." Orochimaru said, grabbing Sasuke's arm and leading him away. Naruto looked at them curiously, what was with the nicknames?

"We'll be back, Naruto." Sasuke called.

~/Sasunaru P.O.V/~

Naruto awkwardly beat his hands against the table, waiting for the other's to return, he was so bored.

"Sorry it took so long." Sasuke said as he returned, a plate with two well-done steaks on it. "We had to clean the kiln." Sasuke said in irritation, he set the plate down in front of Naruto, sitting across from him at the round table, "This is the best we can do for now, I think something softer would probably be better, but we don't have anything softer."

Naruto laughed sheepishly, scratching his head, "It's fine, thank you." Naruto began picking at the food, using a scalpel to cut the meat, and a fork prong, which would usually be used in experiments. He choose not to comment on it, and began eating the meat. Naruto got halfway through the first steak before he began coughing.

"You okay?" Sasuke asked, Naruto turned away from the steak as he violently coughed. Sasuke stood next to the man, gently rubbing his back, "You were eating it too fast." Naruto fell forward, throwing up violently.

"I'm sorry." He said when he finally stopped, Sasuke helping him back to his feet.

"Don't apologize. I knew your stomach wouldn't be able to handle it. Can you get to the bathroom yourself?"

"Yeah, sorry." Naruto said, pushing away from Sasuke.

"Okay, I'll clean up here, then afterwards head back to the room and relax, tomorrow we'll have to find a nearby town and get some proper food. Okay?" Naruto nodded in turn, walking away. Sasuke ran a hand through his hair, he was exhausted from worrying so much. He would have to clean everything up.

~/Naruto P.O.V/~

Naruto ran to the toilet, falling forward as he threw up into the bowl. There was no more food in his stomach as he threw up a mix of stomach acid and blood, he lied back against the tub, his body shivering uncontrollably. He ran a shaky hand through his hair, he was absolutely fine.

~/Sasunaru P.O.V/~

"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked Naruto as he entered the room, having cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, Naruto rubbing his hair dry with a towel, following his shower.

"I'm fine, would you stop asking?" Naruto pouted, dropping the towel around his shoulders, slumping onto the bed.

"I'm just worried." Sasuke said, sitting next to Naruto on the bed.

Naruto looked Sasuke over for a second, "I remember a lot of fighting to the point everything was just blood red, but honestly, the memory doesn't bother me, it's a numb feeling whenever I think about it, even talking about it. My body, I just don't feel the pain, whether I don't want to or it's not there, I really don't know. I'm really fine though, it's not affecting me." Naruto smiled, shrugging. "That's why you don't need to worry, I don't feel anything in relation to it."

"Naruto." Sasuke closed his eyes, speaking, "That's not something you should just accept, I understand cutting yourself off, but it's not healthy, you have no idea how something like that could affect you, your emotions." Sasuke grabbed the towel, gently rubbing it through Naruto's hair.

"Don't worry about me, I'm really fine. You know, I think, rather, I'd prefer if you stopped treating me like I'm going to break any second and we returned to fighting every three seconds, rather than being treated kindly out of pity."

"It's not just pity." Sasuke whispered, slightly moving closer to Naruto.

"Then what is it?" Naruto whispered, grabbing Sasuke's arm, Sasuke released the towel, gently rubbing the scars on Naruto's cheek. He looked from Naruto's scars into his eyes, being drawn in by the bright blue orbs, Naruto felt himself drowning in the darkness of Sasuke's eyes, gently shutting his eyes as the heat from Sasuke's breath made him dizzy.

Sasuke watched Naruto's eyes flutter closed, he slightly closed his eyes, just enough to see Naruto as their lips connected, before completely shutting them and engulfing in the feeling of the other. Naruto tightened his grip on Sasuke's arm, gently pushing deeper into the kiss. Sasuke rubbed Naruto's cheek gently, pulling away from Naruto despite the blonde's discontent.

Sasuke removed his hand from Naruto's cheek and gently thumped Naruto's forehead. He stood up, "I should get back to helping Orochimaru."

Naruto opened his eyes, frowning slightly as he watched Sasuke leave, heavily blushing when the Uchiha was finally gone. Sasuke stopped in front of the door, covering his lips as he stared at the ceiling.

So yay, finally got some action, we'll see some more next chapter too, so be prepared ;)

Fav, follow, review. I enjoy your opinions!
