Way to few reviews in my opinion...

Normally i don't like angsty/suicide what not stuff.. but your story setting is interesting!

I'm glad you've updated and hope to read more from this fic soon

damn, and here i was thinking I'm slowly giving up my addiction to yaoi...
I haven't been visiting the site as often as usual so I was happily surprised to find out you're writing a new fic. And a really interesting one, oh the twisted minds of the Uchiha kin... How I love thee :)
Usually the riddle is in the plot, this time it feels like it's merely in Sasuke's mind. But knowing your brilliant plotlines there's much more to it all than is seems, right? *looks at the title* :) Hopefuly it's more than "orochimaru was using him", not that I mind the idea, Orochimaru is one creepy pedophile lusting over Sasuke's body, but that's just too obvious, I bet you have more tricks up your sleeve, so I'm looking forward to the next chapter, as always :)

OH JOY! A new story from you! I must say it just made my day. You see, I came to aff and I couldn't find anything to read, so I think to myself, "Hey, let's go and reread something by our favorite aff author arora!" And so I hop over to your profile and lo and behold! A new story! YEAH! This is uber interesting and I really can't wait for an update. It's so tense and I want to know what Sasuke is going to do and what Naruto is going to do and what Sakura is going to do, and, and there's just so much going on and it's so well written and I'm so glad that you've posted a new story!!!

Please update soon!!

I just wanted to say that I really love your story. Angst with just enough hope of a relatively good ending! Please continue to update!

Shit, this is just as intense as Broken, but damn your writing is getting even better. This was actually the most intelectually stimulating story I've read in a long while. It's got a perfect flow, as in the timing just seems spot on. And every time I read something and pleaded for it not to become a stereotypical response, you didn't let it. Examples: Naruto actually staying angry with Sasuke (rightfully so, dammit), he never gives in and says, "Oh Sasuke, I love you, I forgive you" (barf), that's not what your Naruto would do. Another one: Naruto thinks Sakura's cute still, but Naruto realizes he has no chance. For a second, I was afraid suddenly she'd be all in love with Naruto and they'd get it on (barf again, wouldn't fit the characters you're building), and then with Sasuke, I'd think, ok, you're going to make Sasuke back off because it's harder to deal with the tension of him harassing Naruto. Yay, you did it again, Sasuke remains a harassing prick, if he wasn't a harassing pirck he wouldn't have done that to Naruto, would he.

And you did another thing a lot of writers won't do. You made Sakura smart. She is very smart and intuitive in the manga now so there's no sense in pretending she's not in the shinobi world. I like that you didn't make her seem uber uncomfortable about finding out why Naruto is bleeding, and that you had them talk about it. She could definitely put two and two together. I respected that a lot. And then that you had her slap him at the end. That fit her character just right.

I am so super impressed with how you handled this. I really love your stories. I've always found them so dark but thoughtful and intelligent with a very subtle (also dark) humor. Please tell me you're going to write more. I like it when my mind's all stimulated by not so typical characters. Sorry the review was long, I get excited by really good stories. And I kind of like to let the author know they made me think and all that.

There are a lot of stories out there where Sasuke takes advantage of Naruto. The customary storyline is that Naruto ends up liking it and they live happily ever after.
Thank you, dear God, thank you, for not writing that. I don't care what you do with story from here on; I'm satisfied just with the rage and judgement Naruto delivered unto the Uchiha bastard. Thank you.
But, you know, it would still be great if you wrote more.

Fantastic!!! I love this story, despite how depressing some of it is. :) It's that kind of fic though and a really good one! I really adore Sakura in this one too. She's not the moron that some try to portray her as. I like the way you've written all of the characters and I can't wait to read more. I look forward to seeing how this story plays out. :)
