Thank you! They do indeed make an adorable couple. As to whether or not they would ever truly be allowed to be together, who knows? If you think about it, Isshin was only able to have a family after leaving the Soul Society, so it may be that she would have to make a choice if she wants to be with Ichigo.

I think part of it goes back to the old taboo regarding necrophilia. I mean, I'm grossed out by the idea of sleeping with a dead body. But I guess the embalmers back in ancient Egypt didn't have much choice, since even prostitutes wouldn't get near 'em. And not only that, but I'm sure there are some universal rules that they'd be breaking. Of course...I'm all for them breaking those rules. ^_^

Which deal with Isshin do you mean? Isshin has a lot of deals....

[youkai_girl]

**snickers** I read something somewhere that the actual taboo on necrophilia came from Egypt because there was only one way for the embalmers to actually get some...yeah. And of course, the surviving family members were unhappy - and grossed out. But I guess it happened fairly often back then, since there are surviving records and all.

Yeah, it is confusing, because the shinigami are dead. Except for the purebloods (have no idea how *that* happened), every shinigami is made up of souls who died and went to Rukongai. The purebloods are born in Soul Society from what I understand. So techincally, they are dead, though they have an "afterlife" that's a lot like life. Ichigo compounds the problem because he is actually both - a pureblood and alive. ^_^; How unlike Ichigo to cause a problem, right? But as far as I know, two shinigami can have relationships.

Stick with me, kid. I gotta bunch of wierd (and stupid) and interesting facts in my brain. LOL I'm sure there were some people who would do them, but it was tough to find them - and I bet expensive, too.

I have no idea how the procreation works, actually. For all I know, it might be a reiatsu thing; like the hunger. If you don't have high enough reiatsu, you a can't get pregnant. I'm sure some of those souls in Rukongai are getting it on (there are "parents" after all), but we never hear of them having kids. Yet Issin is a father, and we know that Byakuya was born a Kuchiki. Both of them have outrageous reiatsu, so it does stand to reason (might explain why there are no little Kuchiki's too, since Hisana was a commoner from Rukongai).

But yes, all the families in Rukongai are cobbled together of souls that are in the districts that the shinigami placed them in once they arrived after death.

Nope, sorry. Me no like Orihime. Don't know why, I just do.

Ryuuken seems saner - at first blush, anyway - than Isshin. He at least does not attack his son over breakfast. ^_^ I doubt Ryuuken is completely sane, but outwardly he seems more "normal".

Chad/Karin - I can squint and see that in the distant future, but no time soon. But then, I've never been known for my precognitive abilities, either.

No clue as to who/what/where the "god" that Aizen seems to want to replace is. Just that Aizen thinks he could do a better job than the current management.

[youkai_girl]

**laughs** No, I understand. It is hard to articulate why I don't like her either. I don't want to say "too girly", but she comes across as very weak, and wanting to get stronger, but not really trying very hard to do so.

Isshin and Ryuuken are always interesting. Sometimes they're even interesting together. ^_^

I'm sure that's exactly what Aizen thinks. He certainly acts that way, anyway.
