Hello there! I'm a little late to the party... but oh so very glad i found your fic! seriously, after reading some of the crap fics on this site i began to wonder if there were any good ones. then i found yours and i filled me with a sense of new hope! i just wanted to write a review saying how appreciative i am of your work and i hope you will continue the story! i feel like i know you so well after reading this fic! thanks, much!

YES! now i CAN call Strawberry Strawberry in the story im making!

but what does Karin and Yuzu mean?

I've been reading your story for a while now. your really good! i love the story line the plot and everything about it! i love how you filled in the missing parts of the real story with your own like how you got their names. i would have reviewed you sooner but i only had my phone for a long time. but anyways i really enjoy your story. every time i see a cute part like the pregnancy or karin and hitstugaya getting together it makes me squee on the inside I don't find many GOOD hitsu-karin stories so thank you very much. btw i don't like momo much either. but none the less your story makes me at times giggle, sad, mad, and very happy! cant wait for the other chappies! thanks again! p.s. i know im suppose to critique you but i can't find anything wrong hehe sorry oh well. baii.

Again you rest amazingly! I enjoy your stories so much! And not trying to offend you or something...but please don't stop this series, because sometimes I'm reading a really good book... but then they say that they lost their inspiration and couldn't continue... so yeah. Sorry for the lousy review! Anyway keep it up and good job!

Hey I just wanted to tell you that I like your stories a lot and that I have a hard time finding HitsuKarin stories that I like, but yours just caught me. So.. thanks!

There's very little I can say to you about this, but I felt completely obligated to review, and I rarely do (I'm a horrible horrible fanfiction fangirl.) I absolutely love this story. I love the way you've gotten Karin and Hitsugaya's characterization. I get goosebumps at their interaction-I don't even mind waiting thirty-odd chapters for a kiss. I adore the background you've developed and the way they've aged in your story. In short (too late?), this is probably the most thoroughly enjoyable Bleach fic I have ever read, and I owe you a huge amount of thanks for giving me the opportunity to read it.

Apologies for being unable to give any kind of intelligent critique-my brain is completely mush.

(also-your theory on Ichigo being related to the Shiba clan? I actually sat up a little straighter and went "ohhhh" the second I read it. My whole brain was suddenly screaming, hey wait, that could actually totally work.)

Oh my gosh! I loved Toshiro through this whole chapter! Especially when he told Ichigo that he wouldn't stay away from Karin unless she wanted him to! And then stupid Hinamori had to go and ruin their moment at the end of the chapter! Gah! She needs to go and stop ruining everything! But I love the story! Keep up the amazing work!

Yay! Long chapter, can't wait for whatever it is Ukitake wants to discuss with both Karin and Hitsugaya!

This was awesome, I love how you have a romance, but you have other things on and life and themselves getting in the way of each other. It makes the relationship they do finally forge be taken more seroiusly. But that requies patiance that not many FanFiction authors have, and for that you deserve an standing ovation, Bravo! In this particular chapter i have to congraulat you on how well you've maintained that characters actual personalities, especially their quirks. You should be proud of yourself. I can't wait to ready what Ukitake wants to talk about, Keep it Up and Be Safe.

dam i just finished reading the chapters that are up and this is a really awesome story. there has been so much drama through out the whole story and rukia pregnant and she is the one all OMG idk what to do and not ichigo hahahaha. i really hope karin beast the living hell out of Reika i dont like her lol and i have a feeling momo is going to do something stupid soon. i cant wait to read more of this story you definetly have another reader and reviewer i cant wait to see th enext cha[ter :D

I didn't know why I haven't read until now!

This is a great story and I'm so eager to read the next chapter!

Could it be that Ukitake finally found the answer?

XD

I can't wait to read the rest! UPDATE FAST, PLEASE!

Rangiku's reaction when Hitsugaya was humming was DAMN FUNNY! HILARIOUS!

The last part was a bit sad, but i loved it!

Awwwww! The Rangiku and Gin part was so CUTE!

Seriously, kisses? Now, that was one way to ruin a serious moment! :)

Karin made him laugh! Wow! And he kissed her! *loud fangirl squeal*

Never knew Toshiro was a pervert! -

Great! I just hope Momo doesn't become some kinda jealous bastard! She will annoy me like HELL if that's what happens! Kira is so there for her, and why the hell can't she NOTICE that!

Sorry about my own rantings. I LOVED THIS CHAP! (if only it weren't for Hinamori; she annoys me to Hell)
