*snickers* Awww. You know, for some reason, I was laughing through this. ^^; Maybe I just have a sick sense of humour. :p Or maybe the crack has finally addled my brain. Either way, this was really nice. Karin was so cool about everything and Chad was so... Chad. :D Hurray for Renji and Orihime too though they kinda brought in some angst there. ^^ I wanna huggle them.

[tenebris]

*can breathe again*

It's interesting that you say that, because when I first wrote this, I thought, "This'll never pass. It's too funny!" And that was before she nearly fell off the roof. So it's not just you!

Thank you! I rather enjoyed getting to write Chad, and the Orihime and Renji bits seemed necessary. They really do need hugs, poor dears.

[zelel]

I love the roof part! XD I also love how she refused to let go of the ball. ^^ That was just too sweet.

Chad... Honestly, I never know what that boy thinks. I just usually end up having him go, "..." XDXDXD I like how Renji came in and encouraged Ichigo in his own way. He's such a sweet boy for not wanting the same thing to happen to his rival. And Hime, she's just an angel. I always feel the need to toss Ishida at her and make him comfort her. :p

Oh, and I forgot to mention but I totally love how Kon is hanging out with Karin. That was a surprise. ^____^

[tenebris]

Yay, the roof part works! *sweated that one out* And well, it's the hamster ball of LUV. How could she let it go?

Ha ha, Chad. He's so much fun, to try to say as much as possible in the fewest number of words. And Renji...is a dear, isn't he? I can never quite get over how quickly he and Ichigo reach an understanding, but they do. As for 'Hime...at this point, I'm game for tossing her at Chad. They can have tea and weird food and she can jabber and he'll...listen. *sigh*

Surprised me, too, but it worked! They read together. I AM SUCH A SAP. SEE MY VEINS MADE OF SYRUP. ^^;;;;

[mathkid]

I love you. You don't know me, but I've been following this fic and, yeah, wow.

"I’m going to fall off this damn roof, and neither of them will notice because THEY’RE TOO BUSY YELLING AT EACH OTHER." - hee!

"They sit there, together, and there’s a strange tension to their silence." -- you did the ichiruki moment so perfectly -- in character and still a *moment*

Are you absolutely, positively sure about that seven chap thing? Because, you know, it would be nice if we could persuade you otherwise...

[tenebris]

*blush* Thank you! I'm glad it's been good so far!

Possibly my favorite moment in the story, aside from Chad and the hamster ball, that. :)

*whew* Thank you. That took some doing. And YAY, it's IC, *dances*

YES. TOTALLY. Only seven 'fics, then the arc is complete. I have some teeny omake in mind as well, but officially it ends at seven. It was only supposed to be three. *makes face*g*

[tokyofish]

Couldn't. Stop. Snickering. XDXD Hamster ball of love! I love how she yelled, "NO!" But, OMG, favorite line may be the bear constellation BITING OFF ICHIGO'S HEAD. God, that's just how I see these two in my head. Also, the sudden appearance of arms. I write the sudden appearance of hands, myself, but all the same, yeah, just suddenly there. XD

HAHA, RENJI LURKING IN THE ALLEYWAY. Orihime and Rukia being perceptive and acting like themselves and yet talking the way girls do, Chad . . . Well, just, Chad. ^___^; And Kon and Karin reading together, yay! Ichigo would totally toss Kon off the roof. TOTALLY. Glad you put that in there. XD And you even dealt with the Karin learning shinigami stuff issue! =)

Also? Yeah, #3 works much better now. You added in more yelling, didn't you? That's good . . . Thinking back on the first version, they were rather too passive about the whole thing, no?

*Snerk* *claps hands together* Days of Our Hollow. OMG

[tokyofish]

P.P.S. Forget to mention re: 3. Yeah, DEFINITELY works better with the Ichigo vs. Rukia battle of self-blame going on.

Okay, really going now . . . ^^;;;

[tenebris]

Excellent! Thank you so much! *all hail Merry...*

You know I always look forward to your long comments, 'Shigi. :)

[tenebris]

*g* Woo! YAY, the bear constellation worked--I should probably credit gemchansan for her writings on Monster Chappy, as they are a direct inspiration. And originally she noticed the arms much earlier, but you know, possible freak-out there. So they just showed up. (What always gets me are Ichigo's LEGS. They're so long, I never know where to put them...)

Badly lurking in an alleyway, in fact. 'Course, he'd say that was on purpose, but I felt kinda bad that he never got to punch Ichigo. (so did he.) I kinda like tense!Rukia and Orihime talking, 'cause it's so...them. And I was so happy to apparently get that Chad scene right, YAY! I love Chad. (Zel's responsible for that, I think...) There was no way I couldn't deal with the Karin stuff at this point, though I dunno if it's entirely done between them.

Yes, I did. *gestures at Merry* It's amazing what application of caps lock does to those two.

Heh heh heh. Formally, it's the "Eyes" series. Informally, it's totally Days of Our HollowPoor dear! *hugs

[mallammothwen]

At least they're back to talking now, but what must the neighbours think? That discussion has to have looked weird.

[tenebris]

*g* That's not the worst of it. Those two were rather unobservant all around, since they missed the group of people a coupla rooftops over. With popcorn. And binoculars.

[shoujo22]

Gosh darn it! I couldn't read it because I haven't gotten that far in the manga yet XD! My internet won't be working at home until next week; and I'm not allowed to download stuff at work. There must be some evil forces working against me to make me actually STUDY this semester.

*shoot* T__T

But hey! I'll be able to read this by next week. With all these awesome responses I'm getting kind of excited.

[tenebris]

Awww! Yeah, there's a pretty specific spoiler for 201 that runs like a thread through all of these 'fics. I hope you have a chance to catch up soon! And I KNOW about the studying. Really, how dare you, Uni? ;)

Excellent! And thanks for your interest!

[shoujo22]

Stupid Uni *bleh* Heehee

And you're welcome. I really want to read it; especially since its so lengthy. I have a thing for lengthy fics yah know ^__~. As soon as Saturday morning starts I'll be up to my ears in Bleach manga =^.^=
