Yippie!
Another great Kakashi/Gai work! This pairing (atleast when written by a good author such as your self) direly needs more fans!
Yep, read this becuase I read "A Break In The Routine" by you (awesomeness there) and decided to check out all your Kakashi/Gai work!
I really like you showing the serious side of Gai, and his caring for Kakashi.
Much love to you wrting much needed fanfiction for this pair!

I'm impressed. Every word seemed to count, add to the story. (I've been in a bit of a funk looking for good fics lately...) Don't know how to give you a thank you that expresses how glad this fic made me feel - for Kakashi, Gai, and Lee. It made me worry for them, and really care for them more while I was reading. The battle sequences are well analysed and believable. This is why I give it a 5/5 ^_^

Although this pairing gave me a bit of discomfort, you managed to make it quite palatable enough to enjoy the story with only a few shakes of my head. Your story was well written and enjoyable, and although I myself do not enjoy Yaoi all that much, I know you to be an excellent writer and decided to check out the story. It was a wonderful read, an enjoyable storyline, full of action, suspense, some angst and humour. Great job as always. Looking forward to more, especially from your "Anbu" story.
Keep up the good work.

............Wow.
*grin* It was even better than I had expected. *pumps air with gusto* BRAVO!!
Truthfully, this is the first time that I've seen in any fandom Kakashi and Gai behaving as a couple--and considering their personalities and their codes of interaction, along with subliminal messages, you carried this out true to justice.
The mask concept, a common one, was played very well here, and it wasn't dramatic or understaged--with power in subtle tones. Which I admire!! :O
Don't know if I've pointed this out before in any of the other reviews that I've given you, but I'm a real stickler for phrasery. How information is processed, executed, the feeling behind the wording and positioning, the particulars interest me. Give more of a taste to the content of what I'm reading. I like your phrasery quite a bit; at times, I had just paused reading to analyze the way that you wrote something. It's very pleasing when I can find fanfiction that makes me do that. ^^
Battle scenes always baffle me when I read them--all I can say is that if I had to do a storyboard of a battle, I would fail miiiiiserably. I can get flashes and whatnot, but the actual particulars of the progression of battle? It takes a lot of something to skillfully write one, and whatever it is, you've got it. I'm totally impressed, and actually, kinda envious. ¬¬;;
On the side, I really enjoyed how you took the time to consider small things. Like details that made Konoha more real than I had ever gotten as an impression from the manga. Something about those details really brings life into the lack of realistic, even somewhat insignificant (to the plot or otherwise) information. An example of what I mean is this.
"Dawn lay like the thin edge of a blade on the horizon. Kakashi watched it for a few seconds from the top of the monument, before sending a kunai flying through the open window of the admin building. When the night desk ANBU found it imbedded in the wall, Tsunade's mission handout stuffed through the handle, he’d know the team had made it back safely. The official report could wait. It was sort of a tradition in the ANBU; there weren’t many clerks who had the balls to run after them for the paperwork, anyway."
It was unnessecary, but it kept the pace of the reading the same, and let me sink back into their reality a bit more.
I'm SO glad that you posted this, and now I'm gonna read the other GaixKakashi fanfic! :D Yay!
