Good story but I wish there had been more IchiRuki sappy stuff lol.

Great job. I love the sarcasm

Overall I thought this story was very well written. The character flow that between the four main characters was great and I enjoyed there interactions. That the war is not over in the end of the story doesnt matter as it seems to be the a nice backdrop to raise the tension, and move the relationships forward, then anything else. Certain the strawberry and shorty wouldn't admit there feelings out loud unless of Hollows and Aizen set the stage.

I only had two issues with the story: 1) Rangiku, in the story she is a secondary character but it is hinted she has feelings for a certain someone (the story says who but I don't want to give spoilers out) but nothing of it happens, not even in the Epilogue, where I thought for sure that we would see at least some forward movement. 2) The scene changes in the chapters. You have the scene talking with characters doing/talking about something then all the sudden it flips to other characters doing/talking about something. Perhaps there where scene breaks and took them out, don't know.

That said overall I loved the story and am glad you finished it at a point where you where happy with it.

thanks for sharing

Great last chapter. The ending was perfect. I like the whole today is today and that's all that matters type of thinking. I hope that you do post Shadow of the Day it sounds really interesting. You're a great writer I can't wait for more.

I'm dissapointed that there won't be a sequel, but I think this was a good place to end at. Great work throughout the whole thing. :)

I don't think I've ever wanted to kill Aizen more. xD

Hitsugaya is so over protective of Momo. xD
Quite an eventful chapter. I really can't give you feedback on whether or not Rukia should get a Bankai, seeing as the story's already finished...lol But I can't wait to find out. :)

Glad to see there's a sequel, b/c if the epilogue was it, I might've had - just the slightest - urge to kill you. xD

Anyways, I'm lovin' it so far. :)

One thing I'd like to mention, however, is a little grammatical error. This sentence: "Ichigo misinterpreted the smile the wrong way." It should either be just "interpreted the smile the wrong way" or "misinterpreted the smile". Other than that, keep up the great work. ^_^
