As per usual, it's another wonderful chapter of Curtain Call. I found a lot of it funny and it left me giggling and smiling like an idiot during my graphics class when I read it. Although it bothered me that these three year olds acted as if they're at least ten or twelve. Of course I have to remember that it's not entirely impossible for kids to end up like this. After all, I have cousins who play at an amazing level on the Violin at age three or four. But that was with a great deal of coaxing from their mother. I suppose the twins have a very nurturing mother in Sakura, which makes their intellect at all possible.

I don't know why, but Itachi's character in this chapter just.. bothered me. It's just a little inkling in the back of my mind, but most likely it's due to Kishimoto's sudden info dump. I honestly think that he just waited for the Itachi fanbase to guess, create, and mold their own idea of Itachi that seemed so solid he had to smash it to the ground by revealing that our sociopath is actually a human being. None the less, in regards to the alternate universe that you've created for Itachi he is very much in character. So no worries there! I just can't wait to see what'll happen once the denizens of Konoha decide to pay the little medic a visit.

As for your computer issues, I can absolutely relate. I had a horrible dell laptop at one point that was just built to break down on me. Eventually it just stopped working at all, and by the time I managed to retrieve all my data out of the hard drive it was smoking. Literally. Congrats on getting yours fixed though!

I can't (although I must) wait for the next chapter. Good luck and I'm glad to see you back!

PS: Sorry if I seem chatty with a blatant tendency to ramble, I'm just writing what I'm thinking.. that and I think it makes up for all the chapters I forgot to review for. :P

Thanks!! Your comments always makes me so happy, so ramble all you want!! =)

I have finally reinstalled all the relevant programs back into my ancient laptop already, thank god. Though I wonder why I'm even updating everything, seeing that I'm about to get a new one soon, and then I will have to install applications all over again. Joy.

Glad that this chapter made you laugh, by the way. I know what you mean by my version of Itachi being entirely different from Kishimoto's abruptly revealed characterization of well, Itachi. Though it really shouldn't be a surprise at all, I suppose. Gee.
