Does toshiro really die?

20 fuckin years! Holy shit. Also are you going to get the captins out of there and have them help ichigo, or are you just going to let them rot?

Now that I'm caught up.. I'd like to say that you are one of my favorite writers on this site, although not quite the top of the list (See Darkmoon Knight's stuff, if that's still his pen name)..

The way you seamlessly shift gears is pretty amazing, and I have to say that I'm a bit jealous of it.

To be honest with you, my only complaint is that sometimes you seem to rush an area where you need a little more fleshing. Other than that, keep it up, I'm looking forward to reading more.

I'm loving this story, and in the process of reading it all the way through, but I just HAD to review for this.

That ending scene with the "either that, or get real jobs." was BRILLIANT.

Not only have you done a brilliant job painting the characters, but just the image of those four in reaction to Ichigo's words were amazing. I'm crying tears of laughter as I write this. I have to hand it to you, that was the best comedy I've seen/heard in a LONG time.

I really liked this chapter... Can't wait for the next one!

Reviewing first chap in response to your email... So it is in concrete that it will remain RenRuki. I had hoped otherwise, but nonetheless, I'm interested to see how this all plays out, with Ichigo's 20 year training and such. Just do me a favor and kill the red-headed bastard at the end. Face tattoos are cheesy..

very interesting.

No! This cliff-hanger is cruel! And damn ichimaru is sure confusing, I want to trust him I really do, but...it's this chapter was really important because it closed old doors and opened new ones. Please update soon.

Rukia and Renji? ...I'm hunting you down right now. Bankai and all, seriously, it's death time. Great story so far though, and though i hate the RuXRen, I can definitely believe it might happen if Ichigo disappeared for twenty years...jeez he's a jackass. Oh well, though, I'll suffer through the RuXRen till the ending, this story's that good... Good luck with classes and such, and update when you can!

Nice chapter that one. I found the Gin narated part quiet fun to read especialy, and the fact your doing Greek classics explain why there so many Greek names in it

awesome chapter, but I hope Ichigo becomes a bad guy at the end and the bad guys win for once.

Ichigo and Rukia are still gonna be a pairing right? Hope they make up eventually and cmon Ichigo time to kick ass.

*twitch twitch twitch* Hinamori. Out. Of. Character. *twitch twitch* Won't say something I'll regret, won't say something I'll regret, I WILL NOT.

ZOMG, LOOKY IT'S GIN! *glomps* FInally, you Fox, you! *huggles* MINE. :D

Rangiku x Gin is FTS, yo!

Still busier than a captain in an arrancar-stomping contest, but here goes:

- I can see Aizen doing that as a means of keeping people imprisoned (and am terrified that he's doing something like that in the false Karakura Town in the Living World in the manga right now!);

- Momo sassing Yammy is pricelessly cute in a weird way;

- Rukia was colder than her zanpakuto, but we saw the crack in the ice at the very end of that scene. Very nicely done there;

- and we finish off with an appearance of the redeemable!Gin at the end there (with Ran-chan peeking in at the end). Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to the vizards we go! :)

Wow! Life just sucks for all of them right now, doesn't it!

Poor Ichigo! Actually, I feel more sorry for Rukia. I didn't really think about what she was doing while Ichigo was gone...for YEARS!

Heheh, I guess I just assumed it would be like...Ichigo returns, apologizes and everyone's happy again...I guess not though. (_)

Stupid Hollow! Don't listen to him, Hector!

I love Hector! Even though he hasn't been in the story long, I like him already! D

Awesome chapter! Very nicely written! And I'm really excited for the next one! Keep up the awesome work!
