This was a beautiful ending to a beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I look forward to reading your work in the future! You are truly a wonderful artist. PAige and Shino babies would be soooooo cute! I wonder if they'll have the kikaichu as well?

AWWWW!! This was so sweet!! I loved this story so much ^_^ It was great. I really lkoved the inclusion of modern shamanism. You really got me interested in medicine wheel work. And after I finished reading this I broke out my book on animal totems heh.
I'm pagan myself but I'm open to all forms of spirituality. Animism is one of the things tho that I believe in whole heartedly. I'm SO glad you put this story up. And with it being a Shino story it made it even more unique.
You had good grammar, there were little to no typos and the storyline was compelling. All ain all I gotta give you Kudo's. You really should pop this up on FF.net as well. They DO have a M section. hehe. And this wasnt as smut filled as some of the ones I've read on there. Let me tell ya.
But anyhoo. THANKS again for the story. It was awesome! (btw i've been readoing thThe Code little by little. Im not a big Tenten fan but that story's getting pretty good. :D )

after reading ch31, several questions have surfaced in my mind... of such nature as "what is she going to name the kid?" "what will be the kids totem?" and so on, and so on...

have to admit, you have written the best oc fic I've had the pleasure of finding. to the point of wondering where page is while I'm reading the manga itself...

ps: do you know how hard it is to read the manga and have some thing like that happen?

You had me up ungodly hours in the morning reading you fanfiction. It was really good, love the pace, love the character devolpment. I must admit you are pretty brave including an original character and making it work. Anyways I hope to see you writting around again. ^_^

I just read the entire thing through in two days. It is probably the best thought out story I have ever read, just above Casa's 'The Code'. I must say that as far as character development goes, you are above and beyond. Plus your selection in character. First time I have encountered a Fanfic like this that has Shino, and I'm glad thew first was one as good as this. Also, your observation of the connection of animal spirits and humans, though pretty accurate as far as readings go (I've become obsessed with Native American Cultures these past few years) and I like the overall idea of Paige. A very moderate type girl except with her own special views spiritually. Truly a unique character. This is a great fic, can't wait for the epilogue. Bravo.

An amazing (almost)end to an amazing story. the only thing that i've waited for this much was the final novel to Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth Series. You are an amazing storyteller (much better than an ordinary writer) and i will wait in hopes of seeing you put another one of the ideas rattling inside your skull into words.
