THIS WRECKED ME. WOW. this is the ship of my childhood. Like my OG otp. I cannnot believe both Shikamaru and Ino lived to adulthoood and never got together. But it's okay in my mind, they ARE together.
This was very confusing in the beginning but at the end I got the hang of it and, the part where he kisses her back already knowing it's ino was just- i don't have words. I am so sad

Why is it that the best stories are always the one that make you cry? Dammit, you did a phenomenally. Good work!

One of the most beautifully painful things I've ever read. Love this piece. Thank you for writing. /sobs/

I love this.

Oh god. This hurt like hell to read. I just might cry at my desk now, thanks.

But, seriously, man, this is a really great story. Thank you so much!

OH MY GOOOD
I think this may just be the saddest one shot I've read to date.
Really well written, and the part about her not liking that Shikamaru had been smoking made me start crying?

i don't really understand this.. maybe because i read too fast . nevertheless! I'll read it again later and put it on my favs, just to be sure!

This isn't the first time I read this. I still teared up.

oh.
Shit.
I expected sad from the preview.
I did not expect to actually cry.
shit.
Well done.

Beautiful and heart breaking. Before this I didn't think much about Ino using mind transfer to coexist with Sakura in her body, but this is so sad and wonderful and asdfjhfsdg this is one of the best fics I've read in a while.

God. Never has a one-shot brought tears to my eyes. It's incredibly hard to make me cry, and I feel like bawling like a little baby. This was...beautiful. I also wish I'd never read it, because it'd incredibly depressing.

Beautiful, though...

I cried. A lot. Thank you, that was just, perfect. Sad, beautiful and I lack of words to actually describe what I think. I just loved this one shot because I love Ino, and I love Sakura, and I love Shikamaru and god, I love the way you wrote them. The very idea, those four minutes she can hold on after she... The memories, the fight. How practical Sakura's first thought is... Actually I think it's this that hit me the hardest. Shinobi life to its peak, written in a few word and it's all that was needed and it's just perfect. Thank you again :)

This was really well done and really sad. I love Ino too, and Ino and Sakura together are amazing.

Very very good!

I read this while listening to 'Despair' music from Naruto. Needless to say I'm bawling right now.
