the thing I love the most about your stories is that the chapters are intact ... you know exactly what you want to say & you say it without straying to side tracks ... the other thing I really like is the fact you tend to change subs into doms & the other way around ... I mean who thought Kakashi would be a sub?? although Neji is dom through & through the way I see it (although it seems that this opinion is mine only).

any way I LOVED kiba's radio show ... I loved the way you ended the chapter after the show & I really liked his word "bite me" soooo-Kiba :)

the one thing I somehow I don't like is that you tend to discribe scenery alittle bit too much ... I get lost & in the end I fail to imagine wha the place looks like :s but that doesn't make your stories less enjoyable ... I read every & eachone of them & loved tham all ... waiting for upcoming chapters in all the still going stories.

To begin...

Regarding the 5th Private Matter, the planets were did not align in my favor so this review is not according to plan!

Rgarding Private Matters 1-5, I would say the planets have aligned very well; however, this review has taken a slightly unexpected turn!

To continue....

Hmmm... there is so much to comment on regarding this chapter and the interaction between Kiba and Gaara. I do find myself perplexed and quite intimidated with Gaara though. However, there is one line in this chapter that literally jumped out at me; "..Gaara thought perhaps it had to do with all earlier thoughts on arousal and life choices." This line made me think of Gaara in terms of the Existentialists who believe that all humans have the ability to create their own nature through the choices they make and that we are all endowed with the ability to choose. That ability makes us human and therefore we are responsible for the choices that we make. It is through those choices that we exist. And in Gaara's case, it is through his ability TO chose that I do not see his character as crazy or off the old rocker as Alex would say!

Now how does all of this relate to Kiba? Through the entire exchange with Kiba, Gaara is thinking about the consequences should he "hurt" or "kill" Kiba. He values his job and relationship with Naruto. I don't think an individual deemed "crazy" in the mental sense would seriously think of the repercussions of their actions especially when in the heat of the moment and when having homicidal thoughts at the same time. Now, this is not saying that Gaara is not a complex character who is obviously dealing with some demons and clearly has some issues as can be seen from Gaara wanting "to stab something repeatedly with the knife in his boot" just because Kiba won a bit of control by garnering a response from Gaara. Which brings me to Kiba!

Yes Kiba! Look at how much he has shaken and rocked Gaara! Gaara, a dom from Haze! Hmm, I missed that little tidbit from my last review. I'm glad that I went back and read previous chapters from this story. Like I said prior, Kiba, in all of his cockiness, is a genius character; and anyone who doesn't understand that point should CLEARLY understand and see it in this chapter. Even with the verbal and physical threats, Kiba is undaunted in his pursuit and even Gaara sees this and is left "confused" at the end. Kiba has unnerved the wild child and you my dear author have not even scratched the surface of Kiba's background yet!

I am at the edge of my seat (excuse of cliche') awaiting Kiba's next move, Gaara's reaction, and Kiba's history!

The final matter: The second half would be lost as the first so I don't feel the need to express myself.

I absolutely loved the Kiba and Gaarainteraction. It was perfect. I got all giggly when he called Gaara "sweetheart." You did it perfectly and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Um.

Oh. My. God.

I am scrambled.

That was the weirdest goddam conversation.

Gaara's turned on, isn't he?

Kiba sure as hell is, the bastard.
