Apparently, I have now taken being late to an art form. Well, here's the next chapter in my series. The end is coming, and I figure I should hurry up before Kubo makes this story into too much of an AU on me.

Title: Long Way to Goodbye VIII
Rating: The much beloved T, where characters may swear and possess sexuality, but not so much that I will be

Damn, Renji's always the guy that throws a wrench in everyone's plan! :P At least he tells poor Karin the truth, though.

Oh my. I hadn't realized how much I missed this fic and the updates until reading this, and I love how this has all turned out. I only thing I hate is that I may have to wait until way after boot camp in mid-April before I'll get to read the ending of this (Assuming you aren't planning any more updates between now and Monday afternoon).

And poor Isshin, trying to do his best to save human lives and having to worry about the well-being of his daughter on top of it. :( I miss Isshin in the manga, BTW. Just...throwing that out there.

I await the conclusion.

Renji's not throwing any wrenches in my plans. Having him be an antagonist seriously helps this story out; somebody had to stir up trouble and, well, I thought it fit him the most to react very negatively to Rukia's fate. Byakuya, for instance, is not exactly hot-blooded, and he's the only other guy all that close to Rukia (furthermore, Byakuya has no relationship whatsoever to Ichigo's friends, unlike Renji, so he was a no go

Hey, not complaining 'bout Renji here. ;) It certainly does make sense that he'd flip out and want revenge on anyone that would harm Rukia, even if it's one of his friends.

I'm guessing it'll be too much for Ichigo to recognize Karin before someone kills him (I don't see him coming out of this alive...or sane, in light of him Hollow killing Rukia). I figured from the beginning that it was leading to this, but still. Poor kid.

I'm almost half-tempted to ask for your address, so I could at least get the print-out of the last two or three chapters shipped to Illinois once I get my division address. Not like I'll have anything else good to do there on my free time lol ;) Hope that's not too creepy or anything, but as you are aware of by now, I seriously fangirl this fic.

They don't have internet cafes or anything where you're going? This notion of no internet is unfamiliar to me.

And argh, the ninth chapter be delayed, too. Professors have sprung essays upon me!

I'm going to boot camp, and there's no electronics of any kind. Even phone calls are limited to once a week, tops.

Mostly, I think I'm gonna miss TV the most. Well, one specific soap opera, since TPTB picked NOW to revisit a story I've been waiting eight years to get follow up on. D: Unlike back when I was in high school, there's Youtube to fill in the blanks later. ;)
