oh no, poor ichigo onee-chan! Damn masaya! This is really great and so is 'treasured'!

Reading that I wanted to slowly slice peices of skin from his body. I didn't like it from the fact it was Masaya, but from a writers point of view it was very good.

I never knew there was a a prequel. LOVED IT! HA! I so started laughing when they broke up! That's how much i hate AXI paring. I also said "Oh Dang!" when He untied her ribbon! I smiled through the whole thing! Oh, I really like the quotes on your profile...expecialy the one that Ryou said about love. I hope he finds true love with Ichigo.

good story and god aoyama-kun was cold and poor ichigo

i didn't actually read this prequel before i read Treasured so i'm now reading it and it is absolutely gorgeous, it is really refreshing cuz it's not like the other stories where Masaya is made to be a jerk and cheat on her or something. I believe that u captured a bit, an actual reason that Ichigo and Masaya would break up. Congrats!!

Wow, that was SO good...and so sad. :( I feel so sorry for Ichigo!!

*twitch* Another 'Ichigo and Masaya break up' fic.

Before I get into that, let me say the positive stuff. I only spotted a few mistakes here and there, and, unlike most TMM fics these days, I didn't want to punch the computer screen while I was reading it. I thank you deeply for that. I also thank you deeply for not doing something stupid like having Masaya rape Ichigo or something equally awefull. Too many fics these days have Masaya doing that (which he'd never, ever, *ever* do) and then they pair Ichigo with Ryou or Kisshu or random citizen A. At least this was slightly more believable.

Masaya was, however, still very out of character in this fic. First off, from what I understand (I could be wrong) Masaya, even after the defeat of Deep Blue, is still able to call upon the power of the Blue Knight. He should be able to fight with the Mews. Second, Masaya would never break up with Ichigo in such a selfish manner. He loves her. At the end of the manga, they pledged to love and cherish each other for eternity. He is the farthest thing from 'cold' and 'heartless' as you could possibly get. If he loved her enough to be willing to die for her (when he destroyed Deep Blue), he wouldn't let her go just because she's not punctual.

Sorry, but this just doesn't work without being out of character. If you want to see a story where it *almost* works (It gets as close as it can, since any other pairing exept IxM is doomed to fail in ICness), check out cruelfeline's fic 'Healing', if you haven't already. It's very long, but it's worth it. Yes, it is KxI, which I hate with passion, but I got through it because, all through the story, I pretended Ichigo was Riley. If you wanna know who Riley is, go to my fic!
