Chapter 3 is posted! I didnt mean for it to take so long, but chapter 4 took longer to write than I expected, and I never post a chapter until at least the next one is finished. XD

Anyway, enjoy!

My favorite part is when Sakura feels apprehensive on healing Itachi alone not because of physical harm, but rather the emotional consequences. Particularly like how Sakura's life energy is in Itachi, and an intense healing session can create a bond between healer and patient.

thanks! im glad you enjoyed it.

i really liked the idea of a spiritual bond through intermingling chakra. it will help them trust and grow closer to each other more quickly than they normally would. ;)

She didn’t apologize for it because she wasn’t sorry. He didn’t reply, but his eyes lingered a moment on her own mottled wrists, for which he clearly wasn’t sorry either.

I kinda love you for that line right there. I can't tell you how sick I am of shinobi getting in a fight or smacking someone who deserves it, and then being all contrite when it turns out it actually hurt them. I see this with Sakura all the time and it drives me crazy.

yeah, sakura gets it because shes compassionate, but people also seem to forget that shes also kind of a bitch, especially toward people who arent her friends and dont have her respect.

Exactly.

Again, I love how you portray Itachi in this fic. Some writers usually portrayed him way too 'black or white'-ish. Here Itachi is 'sensible' but not out of character :)

I can't wait until you finish chapter 5 so I can read the next chapter!!

Lots of Love as usual,

its so wrong to portray itachi as black and white. he was never easily defined, even before we knew the truth about him. and now that we do know the truth, itachi acting like a sadistic villian is actually the portrayal thats out of character.

glad you enjoyed it! :D
