Ohhh, beautiful writing there, really. Like how you grasped those moments.

Aah, thank you! This actually means a lot to me, because I just sat down and wrote this, without much planning or anything and I was worried it was a bit full of gibberish, lol!

Thanks :DDDDDDDDD

Oh. Very nice. There needs to be more Sakura like this out there. Less weeping and moaning. More kick-ass kunoichi. Thank you for sharing.

I just finished re-reading her & Chiyo-baasan's fight with Sasori the other day and... oh man I wish Kishimoto would do more like that with her. That fight rocked so hard.

AGREED x100. I want more strong!Sakura, who kicks ass and accepts Sasuke and Naruto, even though they're both fucked up, but still wants to beat them up.

Guuh, I so wish Kishi would write more epic!Sakura, too. Don't give us this "I LOVE YOU, q___q" crap!

Beautifully written. Sakura has always been a favorite character of mine, and this fic is an excellent example of why she is.

Very nice character study. This is exactly how I like my Sakura. :)

Thank you so much! This is my first time writing her as the main character in a fic, even though it was pretty short. I'm glad it worked.

Sakura's never been my favourite character, but I'm finding myself more drawn to her lately. I'm so glad I captured her for you. I agree, though; this type of Sakura is the one I enjoy reading and writing. She's such a strong character, really- even with all her faults.

The part where when she catches up to them and gathers them into her arms...yeah, that was some beautiful stuff...and hilarious considering that she wants to beat them to a pulp.

But the part that got to me the most is her imaginings of ripping Sasuke's heart out to show that he even has one. Yeah, that was great.

Thank you. I love both those parts. I went back again and again editing it, making sure it sounded right :D
