Interesting crossover! And the whole metaphor of lions and mouses was great.

Ouch, poor Urahara...although I guess that could be considered karma from the future coming back to bite him in the behind. :P I enjoyed the mention of Kenji studying with Hiko, and of Kaoru snapping Urahara out of his semi-depression. I enjoyed this one-shot, even though I didn't really get the lyrics, and I hope you continue to combine these two fandoms! :D Please keep up the excellent work!

Oooh, awesome interp for Urahara's past! :D Aah, I love it when worlds cross in such a plausible way. :)

Really enjoyed this little fic, thanks so much!

Himura… I think I know why you love this woman.

So true. So true.

Another excellent story. Awesome AU.

Wonderful Cross over you meld their worlds together perfectly. I can't wait to get the time to read your newest one!

Always did have a soft spot for Urahara. Adding Kenshin just made this story even more delicious.

I like! There's elements of everything in here. The friendship between them all, Kisuke's sorrow, Yoruichi's loyalty, Kaoru's courage, Kenshin's understanding. Great story.

Oo, a very entertaining idea. Nicely pulled off.

I'm wondering when Kenshin became a shinigami. I mean, he was 8 when Sajiro Hiko found him (I totally slaughtered that spelling didn't I? ; ) and he seems to age normally...yeah, just curious.

I can see it though, quite well actually. Fabulous idea (have I mentioned? *sarcasm*)

I think I may come to hate you in time. I could never stomach Bleach before you started weaving your marvellous tapestries and here I am, re-reading the sodding manga because you made me think I hadn't caught what you clearly have caught in it, i.e. the characters. *SIGH*

Oh, well, such is life.

I know that you wrote the pre-qual (read it, loved it), but will you write more to this? say the meating between Ichigo and Kenshin?

lovely, as always!

I thought this story was great before, but after finally reading the Bleach Manga and your new story, it's even better. I like how Kenshin and Kaoru helped Urahara heal and put himself back together, and how he got his shop started. Of Yoruichi is always a nice touch.

Pretty cool.

Kenshin as a shinigami? Nice...And I love how everybody is portrayed here.

This story was interesting the first time I read it, when I didn't know anything about Bleach, but it was much more enjoyable after I'd read the first storyline of Bleach so knew some of the characters. I can now better appreciate the skill you always put into your crossovers.

Wow! Very original and nice. I wish you wouldn't leave it as a one-shot. Develop it more and have the Himura family pop in once in a while. Nice job.

That is awesome! One of the best I love how Kenshin and all of them fit into it.
