Well, you were right! That certainly was confusing... I have my suspisions about what Gaara has to do 'as Kazekage'. I can't mention it though, or else I may spoil it for others. This chapter was amazing! Usually I hate angst, but this was very well writen angst. It wasn't too much, but but wasn't like she had no reaction. I almost want to say that Gaara didn't explain or say enough to Imao at the end, but really, that's just who he is, and it's totally how he would react in that situation. I can't blame you for that. It was a good way of portraying her heartbreak, the yelling and avoiding, because Imao never does those things, and it just gives you a sense of how painful it must be for her. Altogether an awesome chapter, and once more, I can't wait for the next one to come out! But take your time, because if youre rushed, then the story is rushed. I'd rather have one great chapter every 3 months than 5 rough chapters in 3 days, personally. Thanks for updating, you're doing a great job!

Author's Response: :D Thank you soo much for your feedback. And yeah, this was a very weird chapter for me to write. I wish I could explain the reasons to why it's all happening but it would pretty much give my whole story away and people will stop reading. :S So, yes, all in due time. Trying very hard to keep all the characters in their respective character/personalities but still having them go through new experiences and learn how to cope the best they can. Ah! I'm so excited. The next few chapters are going to be very interesting and a little shocking! w00t!!! Thanks again!
