Oh my budda. This chapter was so sweet. I have to admit I did shed a couple of tears with Neji...AND....I am SO happy you didn't kill him, 'cause I love a little angst here and there but I hate when the characters die lol. But yah great chapter once again. Oh and I was on photobucket today 'cause I'm still on easter vacay and have nothing to do and I saw this picture that totally reminded me of one part of the story but i can't remember which part lol.
See...

I'd have to say...I was rather shocked when Ino said "I'm sorry." I was about to break out bawling. But then she said that afterwards, and I couldn't help but side with Shikamaru. That was totally bitchy! But I'm so glad he lived. So so so so so so so so so glad.

The scene with Neji and Shika in the hospital room was lovely. Shika's confession was perfect! I can't wait until he's recovered and we get to hear from Naruto and the gang. Brutal fight indeed.

Be eternally grateful that you couldn't bring yourself to kill Neji off. You would not have been able the escape the demon dogs the fangirls would have released to drag your infernal soul down into the deepest death of hell.

Just kidding. Loved the update. It was even good enough to make me forgive you for not being able to bend time and space to fulfill my demands. ^_^

Neji lives! Yay!

It's too bad he doesn't have the chakra that Naruto has...he'd be back on his feet in a day or two, ne?

I'm so happy you spared his life. I read another ShikaNeji fic on this site where Neji died and I just couldn't handle it, even though I know they are shinobi it just wasn't fair, darnit!

So...where do they go from here?

Thank goodness you didn't let Neji die! I would have died with him!! T-T

Wow, I've been meaning to leave a review since the last 2 updates (when I finally caught up reading), but something always interrupted me.

You made me a believer. Neji and Shikamaru was the one pairing I thought I would NEVER stop to read but you made it work for me...I think the line that sinched it completely was when Shikamaru told Neji his eyes reminded him of the clouds he constantly gazed at! :*D It was a precious and beautiful moment.

As for this chapter, when Shikamaru was thinking to himself that he couldn't shrug off the worry by saying how tiresome it all was...it nearly broke my heart! ;o; Thank you so much for not killing Neji off!!

Why would anyone want to kill Neji!!!! YEAH!!!! He lives!!!!! I am so freakin' happy that you didn't kill him off!!!!

I WISH I could have seen those ninja that did that to Neji get the ASSES KICKED by the gang!!! I would have been laughing my ass off!!!!

Can't wait to read more!!!!
