Gosh folks! I don't know what to say. All the reviews have been positive and really supportive of my writing. This is my first attempt at writing decent fics, so all your words are really helpful. Anyway, I need to put this section simply to clear up a few things.
Yes, after going through the Naruto fanfiction archives, I noticed the abundance of KakaIru fics. Furthermore, I'm now aware of the strong fanbase for the pair. Though it's highly unlikely that they'll ever become a couple, it's plausible to view as one based on their personalities and career options.
Anywho, I've become a fan of such a pairing. However, this fic was originally intended to end as a heterosexual relationship between Iruka and Aiko. The yaoi part is because Iruka's a boytoy for the masses. (Wouldn't most of us like that, ne?)
But, after putting some consideration, I decided to split the fic. It's going to be two stories with alternate endings and stuff. The first one will be the Iruka/Aiko pairing, called Caged Butterfly. The second one is for all those KakaIru fans who've reviewed this fic. Your words have swayed me! The alternate fic will be called Unfinished Sympathy.
Both will start out the same, but after about chapter 3 or so, paths will diverge. One will make it clear that Kakashi's the savior. The other will make Aiko the heroine of the story.
So continue with the reviews and suggestions as to how I should shape this. Really, I have absolutely no idea as to how I should continue it…err…continue them…
