I wonder how many times Kakashi has resigned.

runespoor7 April 13 2007, 07:04:58 UTC

Snerk. Probably none so far (except maybe when he left ANBU?) due to his major team issues, but let's just take the Team Seven situation in a sufficiently bleak direction and he just might.

Or not. He's been a ninja since he was five and his best friend did die when he was twelve/thirteen.

Excellent.

Thank you.

Intense. For some reason there were things that were hard to understand...still, good work!

Thanks! (could you tell me what parts were hard to understand? I was trying to make this as self-sufficient as possible, but... it does take place right after another fic in the same 'verse, so maybe that's that. Or it's my spectacular ability to mess sentences up and make them hard to follow. ^^;)

Wow, I just deleted my comment and now I can't remember what I wrote back. I basically think it's just when you write things like "it" "them" "they" ...I kinda had to guess what you were referencing to. It confuzzled me!

Keep up the great story! (Plz continue to update!)
-P.s. the intervals between past and present were slightly difficult to follow for me, but that's just me, I like how you don't write 'flashback' 'end flashback' like so many fic writers do, I'm too used to that style lol.

Ah, okay! (Note to self: stop making leaps in logic when you write. Or reread.)

I try to use italics when I'm writing a long flashback, but since I have the nasty tendency to write flashbacks within flashbacks within thinking process, I can't do that every time... And I can't write 'flashback' 'end flashback'. (<-pet peeve of Gamabunta's proportions) I'm glad you like it. :)

Shika obviously wanted me to drop the fic and let him be a slacker daydreamer. I'm glad you think his reasons for resigning made sense, because I know they felt true to me, but I was wary of not showing them well and making Shika OOC. (And you know, this is less than two weeks after the end of the war. With time, things will change again.)

with him questioning what he had with temari was just lovely
I'm a sucker for relationships that don't suit the realm of boyfriend/girlfriend (or bf/bf and gf/gf) or One True Love. Which works for TemaShika!

I like writing Temari. :3 (If I say that the two of them fit, I'm going to sound hopelessly trite, won't I?)

nods to other pairings: Shikamaru tries to pretend he doesn't care, but not only does he notice, he's also a good friend. So he'll care, even when he wants to have nothing to do with it. (and I have a one-track mind.)

Thank you!!
