That was an excellent chapter! There isn't anything wrong with it from my point of view and I thought you did a great job with the characters. Well there was only two so far but you still did a really good job with all their thoughts and personalities and so on. Ichigo and Rukia are definitely a very cute couple, so I can't wait for scenes with the two together. But anyways, you've done a great job with this story and I hope you update soon!

I will say this in the nicest way possible, but I hate you. Not because you write poorly, or I diagree with it in any way; but because you have written something so much better than anything I can write, and you've only watched the anime. I've read vol. 1-7 of the manga, and I still can't get either of them IC. So I hold you in the highest respect when I say I hate you, as odd as that may be. On a lighter note, I loved this. May you write much more, and long live Ichigo/Rukia fanfiction!

I can't wait to see the R-stuff. :D

Very nice. I find it hard to believe you haven't read the manga. He.

You can get volumes 2 through... uh... what, 13 or 14?... at this address:

BleachWorld, , has a zip of volumes 1 through 7.

All are scanlated. And technically not legal. They're for... sampling purposes. He.

I plan on buying the English ones anyway- when I get the money- so I don't see it as being too bad. Makes me more rabid a fan than if they weren't available. Fufufufu.

Keep up the good work~!

I love you and I agree with your author's note. And there should be more Bleach fics, but you are helping. I'm actualyl kinda excited for this. Not many multi-chaptered stories up here. It'll take time. VIVA BLEACH! You should check out the manga if you can though. It's good. I've been getting the anime from bittorrent but the actual released manga 1-3 are out. Any borders. Anyways, looking forward to the rest of this...update soon and get a fabulous CHOCOLATE BUNNY! Wai!

Love it. Please continue!

very nice chapter...update soon

Oh...this is fantastic. You have a good point...not many Bleach fics on , but thankfully the ones that ARE there are really good...yours included. Hrm...although I do wonder if when the fangirls find out about bleach...all we'll have is Yaoi fics. ANYWAY...back to your fic. I like it. Ichigo and Rukia are DEFINITELY a great couple for bleach. You've done a great job with the introspection...which is usually a really hard thing for authors to do...you've capture Rukia's personality perfect. I can't wait to see what you do with Ichigo's chapter.

Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see what comes next.

Btw...how far are you in the manga? I've read up to volume 16. Email if you're interested in places to find the manga.

Interesting. Somehow, still canon. If you're interested in the Bleach manga, I know where you can get the first 125 chapters. Just say you want it in the next chappie, and I'll get the links for you~.

Great writing. I'm a Ichigo-Rukia shipper through and through. He.

Great beginning. It's hard to find really good Bleach fics (or any at all) and the anime just started so it'll be agonizing to wait for each new episode, it airs in Japan every Tuesday I think. I hope you do get a chance to read the manga since there are a lot of events that you may want to work into your story. It's a bit hard to believe Ichigo is only 15, he(when he's not being arrogant and childish) looks so mature. Anyway, this was great so far and I can't wait to see how you portray Ichigo. I was waiting for a multi-chapter story focusing on Rukia/Ichigo to appear )

Oh...I'm so glad you're caught up with the manga. You always do a great job with Rukia's introspection, and the bit of tension you're building up between Rukia and Ichigo is priceless. Keep up the great work, I can't wait to see what comes up next.

:) Good as always, I can only say that you have her angsting very well, (and you actually know the names of all of Ichigo's friends. I know all of the captains and vice captains, but all forbid that I know people that are actually alive.) What about 134? Shouldn't there be spoilers for that too? I mean, with this particular line of introspection and the information learned in there... Wouldn't it make sense that she thought about.. certain events in that period of time?

And what about the introspections in 144-154-ish that she has? I means, they way she says it, we're lead to believe that those are things that she considered before she ever even met Ichigo.

But your writing is very well, tenses and grammer and wording and what-not.
