agh. cliffhanger!
You've caught their personalities so well... Kyoraku, the gentlemanly rake and Nanao - the passionate librarian, ehem, library technician.

Please please please continue!

I just love all your stories and you are an amazing writer! Is she going to possibly sell pictures of him like the with the womens association lol. Maybe sell in an auction :D?

ahh I think your characterization of Shunsui is spot on--if not better than the manga! (Although we're not really shown enough for me to decide, I suppose)

I think he's one of the more interesting Bleach characters so I'm glad you were inspired to write him.

Either way: Kudos!

can't wait to read the next chapter... wondering if Nanao would really sell her captain and of what nature? Rent-Kyouraku for a night... hehehe, that'll be really cheeky.

I wonder what she is going to do. Is she really selling him like I think she is? I love your writing it is just so light and fun. Keep up the good work.

I find when I'm stuck(which happens fairly often) that just putting some music on and writing something you just really want to write. It can be a random scene or some idea that'd been bugging you for a while. And once you've got it written and fleshed out figure out a way to connect it to your previous chapter. It sounds a bit strange but I find that that's a way that lets me get across the important scenes and such.

Fun Chapter =]

Whoo! Is it me or did it just get really hot in here? It might be the fact that I'm in a windowless room during summer (really, what am I thinking?) or that this chapter was smokin' hot. Ha ha, it truly was. Ise Nanao is my favorite Bleach character, and I think you've done so well with this fic. As for your loss of direction (I'd be lost all the time if I didn't have my Ruthie--she's my GPS fo' realz), I'd suggest to make the renting out of the Captain merely a one or two chapter predicament. Any more than that and it might get a bit messy--well, it would for me anyhow. Perhaps Nanao could participate in what we humans call 'girl bonding time' with Matsumoto. Cue the evil laughter. Who knows, Nanao might realize to take advantage of the moment and get some dirt on her captain (cuz with him there's bound to be SOMETHING). In any case, if you need any help feel free to PM me and I'll toss ideas at you until you're up to here with them. I'd be glad to help, but if you so choose to decline I'm totally down with that and looking forward to your upcoming chapters (because they're always good--no pressure).

Thanks so much for updating this! I'm finding this version of the captain a lot more intense than I would think for such a short amount of time around Nanao. But I really like this story and I'm glad you've found some inspiration to work on it.

This was an amazing chapter. The chemistry between those two is sizzling hot - I just love how you portray them!

As for you being stuck - I guess it's difficult writing it like this if you've read/seen the manga/anime and know how they met etc and then writing it your way. It's fantasttic -btw ;)

Are you going to write it all your way or are you going to reference the 'real' future (what we know of it ;) I would love it if you wrote it all according to your brain (since it's such a fantastic one)

Do update soon since this is such a great fic!

I'm so glad you continued with this story! I love all the sexual tension, and can't wait to see who Kyouraku gets sold to. Wouldn't it be great if Zaraki bought him just so he could challenge him to a fight for their "date", lol, I'm not sure what time period of Bleach you are writing in though, so perhaps Zaraki isn't a part of the Gotei 13 yet. Can't wait for your next chapter!

That was a wonderful chapter... I was so excited to see it. You did a wonderful job.. I can't wait for the next one. I really hope you get unstuck. I know how much that sucks. Best wishes.

i completly forgot about this fic and then i get home from work check my email and boom update.

i dont think nanao needs to regret her decision but she does need to be one of the datees to make up for it or at least be his 'prize/reward' at the end of it.

please keep updating!

Oh, please don't abandon it! I think the direction you're going with this is fine. I don't know that you could actually force them to get together in this fic unless you wrote a ton more chapters, but I'm thinking a nice resolve into a heated friendship is ok too.

I really like Shunsui in this fic. He is male with a capital "M". I think most fics don't explore that side of him at all, which is a shame considering how rounded it makes his character. I love his little comments to himself about Nanao.

The uptight librarian image of Nanao is great. I love her headstrong and straightforward personality. Good job keeping it going for five chapters and not having her stripped and in his bed already. I hate when that happens too soon or too unrealistically soon in their relationship.

The only criticism I found was one small spelling/grammar error, that I couldn't re-find when I went back through the story. Good job.

I like this fic, tough now I really can't see the direction... Since it's from the very beggining of their relationship. You'll have a lot to work XD

Still, this is good. Just like 100 ways to love, you could do each chapter like a drabble.
