Yeah, none were quite 'hunting', except maybe the one where Kyuubi chose Kurenai for Naruto. It felt like all the others were more of 'it kind of just happened'. Especially the one where Naruto was pulling on the 'cores' of his nurses. Or Ita, hah hah.
Hmm, I wouldn't mind more plot at the expense of the lemons. They were good, but the plot lasts much longer in my memory. Admittedly, the plot was still a bit of a mystery, so it didn't that much longer....
Heh, pretty amusing how people can get so heckled by pairings. I'm more of a 'live & let live' person. I guess I was lucky that I didn't get the title at all, so that actually made me want to read it more.
