That gives me an idea for later. Since Kimi's in the middle of an arc himself, maybe later on we can have Ryofu and whoever is involved with him, if anyone, get to Hidan and Kakuzu at the same time as Shikamaru's team. Kimihiro and Azami will also be there, and this time Kimihiro reluctantly agrees to help Ryofu. Ryofu can be interested or not, but all those people there will be chaos, accented by the fact that Shikamaru and co will be given a reason to go after Azami and Kimi. Depending on what Ryofu does, that would leave them caught between a rock and a hard place. What do you think?

I'm in the middle of reading your update. I'm curious- do you have any particular plans for Hidan yet?

Updated on my end, too. Next chapter I'll get around to mentiong that death and changing Kimi's name, along with the big revelation that doesn't really affect Ryofu, but will drive poor Yuji nuts.

It's exaggerated a bit, but yeah, I admit Kimi and I are two of a kind. It's more fun that way, lol.

Okay man. Have a good night. I'm looking forward to your next update.

Believe me, Kimi is based off me, especially when it comes to girls! lol. That's why he's so damn believable XD

If I ever run into her again, I do plan on asking her out. I planned on that before the whole SM thing, mind you, because she's freakin' gorgeous. Gah, that sounds bad no matter which way I put it, doesn't it?--'

It's a good way to get better at writing. Kimihiro's never had a rival before, so this is a new thing for me.

Enjoy!

lol, I didn't do it intentionally. The REAL kicker is that Azami based off a girl I actually know. Well, with respect to looks, anyway. I don't know her well enough to know if she does the S&M thing like Azami, lmao.

True, but I want to make sure I'm not stepping on your toes. If you've got different plans, absolutely go for them at any point.

No problem. Glad to help. Oh, Here's the video clip I was thinking of when Tsunade started her assault on Kimi. It's at 2:56 of the clip. Feel free to skip it. I don't think there are any major spoilers to the main story, as this is all clips from the sequel.

True. Naruto and Bleach for me. I know for a fact that a few others I like are ending, unfortunately. I think three of them at once. And they stopped printing the Shakugan no Shana novels in english. I can speak and read a fair amount of Japanese, but translating a novel is different than taking a few classes -_-'

For the record, Azami resembles Kanu from Ikki Tousen. I just learned that today.

Okay, then. Any objection if I mention that particular death? The person in question and Kimihiro are supposed to have been friends. Sorry for all the vague talk, but I'm so tired of spoilers on the internet. The last thing I want to do is kill the story for someone else.

Let's see...for the Manga, Higurashi goes like this:
Adbucted by Demons Arc
Cotton Drifting Arc
Time Killing Arc
After Midnight Arc

And that's where I've stopped. I've got the anime boxset, but I'm holding off on it until I've read the entire manga series. There's also a second season not serialized by the manga, usually refered to as 'kai'.

I'll make Azami's reaction better next chapter, if I get the opporunity. I wanted to have her do something like get completely hysterical and try to break out. Do a blow-by-blow description of Kimi's torture while she watches in tears. That sort of thing.

Ah, just read your comment. What did you think of Tsunade's torture of Kimihiro? It didn't work the way I wanted. It was supposed to be closer to Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, as in absolutely horrifying for Azami. But I don't think I illustrated that well -_-'

I'm taking my time, which is irritating the hell out of my buddies who also read Naruto. Thing is, all my favorite series are ending all about the same time, so I'm really slowing down my manga consumption while I find new stuff to read.

I'm looking forward to that, then. I'm estimating that, in our fic's timeline, we're about atAsuma's death maybe?
