you were right about the gin-needing-a-gigai part being weak.. but a bit of ichigo's overprotectiveness and fluff more than compensates for it.. 'twas good.

Hey, this was really good! You made the characters say things that I could picture them saying, and IchiRuki is always the best :3
The readable ** things were interesting. :3

AAW!! Ichigo and Baby! so cute!!

luved it so much!!

Aw cute short story. It served me well to procrastinate in the last half an hour.. =) Your writing is fabolous too hehe and I enjoyed the Hollow scene, and this ending scene where Ichigo kisses her and tells her to never do that again. Wish I could have seen what Byakuya would do to Gin, bahahah.

Good job. Keep up the good work for your other projects!

loved your story!

Ahh, how nice to come home from vacation to see a new chapter! It made me happy. :) And I'm a little touched you thought enough of my criticism to respond with your thoughts-and regardless of my criticism, I DO very much like this story. I think you did a great job with this last chapter-it's just as emotional and raw in the emotions as the first three, which is definitely a good thing. And it had some very sweet moments without getting too saccharine. A+!

I really hope you write some more fics-I would love to read them!

you made me cry with the end!

short and simple, it was a great story!

Hurrah, chapter three! Very creepy dreams this time. The first one is the more attention-getting one, but I think the second one is actually freakier because wow, the image of a baby with a Hollow mask. I'd love to see a picture of that, but alas, I can't draw that well.

Ichigo might have a short scene here, but his anguish is palpable, and very fitting-his friends would just want to help, especially Orihime, but there's no helping a thing like this.

In the interests of constructive criticism, I'll say that the actual theft of the gigai is kind of anti-climactic. The way it's written, I'm not really sure what Rukia could do to get it that Gin couldn't, other than know where they were stored. It feels like we got too much lead-up and not much pay-off there.

But you absolutely do have the emotions and the feel of the characters down pat-I have no complaints there and could happily recommend this story to others. I'm looking forward to the last chapter, and hoping you'll continue to write in Bleach.

This is a really good fic. It's very well written and the plot keeps moving at a fast pace. I hope you update sooner than a week and a half! This is a high quality fic and I love it. It's got suspense and angst and fluff. Keep it up!

Wow, what an incredible story. So chilling!! Can't believe how they're torturing poor Rukia with all those nightmares...

COME ON ICHIGO!

really liked your fic! please update soon!

Oh my...
Rational thought just flew out the proverbial window.
Oh my...
Followed by irrational thought too.
Can't wait for the next chapter.

Oh my, what are you planning? xD
Damn, I'm eager to read and see what happens next!
Great chapter! Poor Rukia and this horrible Nightmares =(
Til next time! :)

I hope that Kisuke is his usual self and will leap in at the right moment.

Don't like this ending! This is the only Rukia story where i don't want to see her die!
