I really like this story. It’s very engaging and interesting in terms of its characters and storyline. I like your portrayal of Deidara and Ino in this. I’m glad you were careful in portraying her as a teenager while keeping Deidara as the troubled criminal that he is. Their conversations are interesting and nicely written. I also like their monologues and the mind games and guessing they played with each other. Love this!

I love this so much! I wish you'd continue. It's so rare to see a Dei/Ino fanfic! I love this :D

Just found this fic again after adding it years ago. Sorry to see no updates as it is really well written and engaging. It'd be really great if you got back into writing it... ;) But no worries if not, hope you've found a good job x

This is interesting, I can't wait to read more, if you're still updating that is.

*wants for Dei-chan to come back* Huwwy huwwy :D :D

Please update soon :D

this story seems very interesting. plz update soon.

Awesome! I hope you continue, I am totally diggin this story. There aren't many Inox Dei stories out there, and this is a very well written one. In my (slightly perverted opinion) there needs to be a little "ahem" more action. Interesting plot though, update soon!

I love this story, I hope it gets updated someday, and never gets abandoned!

Beautifully written. Deidara seems to have quite an interesting veiw of art. I applaude oyu. But, do be careful not to paint yourself into a corner with your plot. Remember an unfinished work is an artist's shame. I hope to see more of this story in the near future.

Great story! I love the pacing and balance between narrative and dialogues. The suspenseful parts certainly keep me on the edge. And kudos for having Ino and Deidara act according to shinobi training, yet at the same time keeping a pretty realistic take on everything. Overall, this is an extremely entertaining fic. :) I look forward to what you have planned next!

Ah, and I read your profile. Takasugi Shinsuke from Gintama might be someone of interest to you. Antagonist, and I hear he can play the shamisen?

I LOVE this story. I never imagined that Dei/Ino could be a pairing until I saw some fanart featuring them. And your story totally makes me believe in them. Their mannerisms and conversations are THEM, it's hard to imagine them being any other way. Your story is interesting, too, and I can't wait to see if Ino gets away or if someone (ahem) saves her. As a side note, well done with Deidara's night on town. I'm glad you didn't 'soften' him up any, instead choosing to show the reason he's in the Akatsuki. This story is so well-written...geez. I'm just glad I found it. Please update soon, I'm looking forward to the rest of the story.

I love this!i hope you continue

This is one of my favorite stories! It's very well thought out, and I can see that you're not stumbling through it as you write. You have some basis and idea for where the story's going, and I'm dying over the cliffhangers, but you are a talented writer.

Lovely writing and love the pairing, the whole situation and drama. I like how she is a newbie at this type of mission and how she is making mistakes. In most scenarios, they either make Ino helpless or so good at spying and everything, it makes everyone else look stupid and that's just wrong.

I like how Deidara and Ino are both in character, as well as the whole view of the Shinobi world, which is painted very well. Good work and please continue!

O, insteresting! I can't wait to see how this is going to be played out!
