Haha! I enjoyed the ride. Though I must admit that I did believe Gaara's party was actually going to happen in the story.

Hmmmmm... Oh well!

My favourite aspect of this is that it had a little extra of a couple in the background (NejiTen) and I'm a sucker for multi-coupled fics so yeah!

Shikamaru said "troublesome" so many times that now its stuck in my head XD I will admit, like everyone else, that his little rant was quite amusing and every much entertaining! I laughed at when he said there would be a possiblity he would get TWO daughters instead of one girl and boy XD Only because Temari would be bearing the children -like she could control the genders in the first place.

Awwww! The notes at the end about the flowers were strangely adroable XD Poor newbie guard

Yoshino the sneaky sneak XD She is usually portrayed that way and it's amuising to no end! XD

I think my favourite part about this chapter is the little Shikaku/Yoshino moment XD For some reason that just got me blushing by its sheer sexiness...for some reason..?

Surprised that this wasn't the NejiTen, but not disappointed either way :3

Too many peoplle make Temari and Kiba reliant on their source of fighting (Fan and Akamaru respectively); while yes, that is all you ever see them fight with, I won't be damned well near surprised if they could kick ass without it.

Enjoyed it!

Yay for multi-coupled stories! My favourite kind XD So far I absolutely love the length of your chapters! Long, but not too long. It makes finishing it take a while and that is just so much fun.

Haha! Leave Yoshino wondering if the world is coming to an end XD It very well might be though

I don't usually complain, but Ino saying "like" all the time was kind of annoying. I understand that it's for the image and probably character differences (which I adore) but it still kind of annoyed me.

HOWEVER! I did very much enjoy this chapter! The plot seems super fun and great! I also really like all the pairs that were listed so hurahhh! My only other hope for this is that my boii Kankuro (A.K.A Kanky-Pants) makes some extra special appearances with his flirting skillz!

Your first fanfic? Oh I imagine it was started before I read your others. I was trying to place where in the manga this was. Temari seems to know Shikamaru but is not familiar with Ino yet. Perhaps after the Chunin exams? Though I thought Ino participated in them too.

At any rate, I had to laugh at Ino's conversations. It sort of reminded me of talk used for 'Valley girls' long ago.

You've definitely brought in your own characterizations and an introduction to possible pairings. I had fun seeing what you cooked up back in 2009.

Thank you for coming back and finishing this off after all this time.
