Your updates are like Christmas: You eagerly wait for the next one to come, counting down the days, but when it's finally here . . . it's over too damn soon, and you want it to either go back to December 24 or speed up to the next December. All that convoluted metaphor is just a nicer way of saying "GIMME THE FRIGGEN' NEXT CHAPTER, DAMMIT!!" Love it to death, too short for me (again, like Christmas), but a litte more satisfying than the last one, flashback-wise. Renji is love, and even though we know it isn't long-term (it's a friggen' IchiRuki fic, after all), I'm much happier and less likely to go on a homicidal rage after the "girl friend" with the ending. For some reason, the idea of Ichigo with anyone else (unless it's Orihime, the fall-back girl, fully conscious of the fact that she is the fall-back girl) makes me queasy. My vote is for the tragic, lonely doctor who fills his hours with his nieces and nephews, and his memories. Very romantic era. But Rukia can have Renji as a fuck buddy.

Aw, that's the sweetest thing to say! Hee, next chapter should be out sometime this week. Yeah, it is an ichiruki fic...OR IS IT?...once again, my lj tags betray me. CURSE THEM.

We'll see who they spend their time with. ;) Thanks for the lovely comment!

I didn't realise I missed your updates until I spotted chapter 6 on my f-list. >.< But anyway, great chapters (since I started from ch4) as always! ^^

Oh Renji... I like IchiRuki over RenRuki, but I still feel sad over Renji. Wish I could hug him or something.

[jaina]

Thank you! I love Renji as well, even though I'm always mean to him. He's a good puppy.

I don't know whether to love u for writing such a wonderful story, or to hate u for causing me so much heart-ache.

It's so good, it hurts so bad. XD

It's insane to see how they've both matured so much, and yet still seem so naive when it comes to each other.

Srsly, if they were both the last 2 people on Earth, they'd still need the intervention of a higher power to get together.

Great story, I can't wait to see what happens next...and I keep guessing way freckin' wrong on the quotes, so I'll cop out. o_O

[jaina]

XD Yay, hurting was what I was going for!...sorta. And yeah, they are excessively dumb. Part of why I like them. :D

Aw, but this quote should be an easy one. ;) Thanks for the comment!

I logged on, hoping for your latest chapter AND THERE IT WAS!!! The sparring session was awesome and Renji...for as Ichi-Ruki as my hopes are, a part of me thought it was about time Renji did something...

All I can say is...brilliant. Really. Chocolate cake of DOOM-worthy. I can't wait for the next chapter...

[jaina]

Thank you! Mmm, chocolate cake. That's high praise. Nom nom.

Oooo! And I didn't even notice chapter six was up! Awesome! I was so expecting a kiss at the end of the training session, but... hey, dragging it out like this means a better payoff at the end, right? ^_^

*cackles* We shall see. Thanks for the comment!
