Thank you so much for the compliments and the concrit as well. I can't think of how to reword the last sentence for the moment, especially since this was written almost 2 years ago. I remember I wasn't ever all that happy with how I ended it- maybe I'll get around to editing it eventually. :p

I'm glad you think I got Temari well though. It was my first try at writing from her POV, so it's a relief to know I didn't butcher her character completely!
