I can't believe it's over... that was an awesome ride!
Thank you so much for writing!

J.

Ok, I liked the story and all... Okay mabe not like but loved the story ... But what happens to Gaara and the one girl whose name I forget how to spell. I'm just a tad bit confused here. Anyways you guys so totally rock because you wrote a story with two of my favorite ninja hotties. :) love you guys * does peace sign*

the story is good but the format it is presented in makes it hard to concentrate on reading, when the paragraphs are thick (for me cuz im usin a netbook) its kinda hard to read cuz sometimes you lose the line your reading, and since theres so much its hard to concentrate, so try and spread out the wording :D

Finally, I'm done! What an awesome story. I haven't read any thing this good sense SilverShine's Duty Before Honor. The Lemon's were very well written. They went very well with the characters and the relationships. The characters were excellent, they had wonderful personalities and they all worked together in such a dramatic way.

My only real pet peeve is that you didn't translate your Japanese Phrases. (I'm talking about Chapter 24) Also you called Ch 24 #22 ;)

All and All I'd give it a 9.5/10 I do hope that the two of you write more.

I just finished chapter 9. The relationship between Gaara and Hitori, although implied, didn't really have anything leading up to it. I know time was short, but there was just sort of a big gap there. (But I love the story so far, good job!)

I am on Chapter 4 and this is just the sort of story I love to read. It's long, involved, full of emotion, and with your writing style I can't wait to read more.

Why does this story only have 25 reviews? Is it the original character thing?

Anyway, I really enjoyed reading this. To find not one but two interesting and likable OCs paired with the two characters I like reading with OCs the most was just awesome.

Very nice. :D

AH! I'm so late! My internet crapped out for a while, after a big storm here (multiple tornadoes in nearby towns o.o;), so at least I have an excuse. ;P

It's OVER? NO! D But it was so... uber-awesomely epic!

Seriously, excuse my language, but it was fucking fantastic.

Every word just... -flowed- so damn well. Everything seemed so real, especially the characters. You both not only did an amazing job of portraying the Naruto characters, but you really brought each and every one of your OCs to life. I actually teared up when Ibuki died, and saved Yomi in the process. ;-; I've become quite attached to this whole fic, and especially the people in it.

Honestly, job well done.

I'd applaud you both, but you can't hear it, and then I would seem awkward to the other people in the room... err... *cyber applause*?

(...Looking forward to a possible sequel!)

Omg. I cant believe its done! :(

You guys better do a sequal or I'm gonna have to... I dont know... Steal your cookies?

Lmao. Just kidding.

But seriously. That whole story was amazing.

I hope you do make a sequal at some point! :)

What a well written and heart renching chapter. I couldn't stop reading.

I feel so bad for Yomi and Ibuki. I really don't know how to describe it I was really touched by Ibuki's actions and his sacrifice and yet I felt my heart go out to him. Especially with his last words. I felt my heart ache when he passed away. I was nearly crying by the time I was done reading the chapter and that is no small feat. I really love the nobility of those characters not just for sacrificing thier lives for each other either. Yomi really loves Hitori and shows that love by letting her be with the one she loves. That's truely noble.

You two are really good writers. It is not easy to write such an intricate plot with more then one point of vieew and not have it sound redundant or confusing. Also you've managed to combine so many different elements and themes into your story that when you read through it again from the beginning you see things that you don't notice the first time.

I mean it when i say this... you are one of the few writters that have achieved one of the true goals of writing. And that's to move your audiance. You've certainly done that with the depth of your characters as well as the depth of emotions that the words and the story itself evoke.

I noticed that you've been taking longer to update recently and if you guys keep putting out such powerfull and emotional chapters it's well worth the wait. Even though I'm chopping at the bit wanting more.

Kami, Nisei and her conflicting mind! My head hurts just thinking about all the confusion.. but in a good way, I promise! :P

Poor Yomi, and Kouki. :( They're both stuck watching the ones they love be with someone else. That's gotta hurt... but they're both strong guys, ne?

Ooh man... angry, passionate Kakashi. *another hentai grin* And he's going to be even more angry when he wakes up and finds Nisei gone... I gotta say though, the frustration and love between Nisei and Kakashi is fantastic to read. The back and forth emotions that Nisei is dealing with really mess with my head, as well as tug at the heartstrings. It's great. D I wouldn't know whether to jump Kakashi or attack him! Maybe both. o.o;

Seriously excited for the next chapter once again! Keep up the AMAZING work you two! D

P.S. Hehe, I'm glad you enjoy my reviews almost as much as I enjoy reading each chapter. ;)

As usual fantastic and complicated, wonderful descriptives, agnst and unusual feelings.

You both have a great way with words, keeping the read totally mesmerized and wanting more.

Now that was beautiful,but why am I worried that the bliss will not continue?

Does Kakashi get fireworks at some point, I sure hope so! Nice work with the love triangles and the flirting etc.

I'm anxious to see the next chapter...

Poor Yomi! I'm not comfortable dressing up, either. Not to mention, watching the person you love with someone else is never much fun. ;P Ooh, tension. ;) And Ibuki, perfect as always, haha. P

And... the Gaara and Hitori scene, was not only very moving emotionally, but... *hentai grin*

Seriously, all-around awesomeness. Made my day, once again! )

Oh, and, finding Hitori's innocence, regardless of the things she may have done under Danzou's order, to be a very nice touch to her character. :D

Okay, I think Gaara needs to get some of the beast back, lie in bed with a HOT anbu goddess and not take advantage?

At least Kakashi had some intense maleness seep through and show his girl what he lays claim too!
