Oh! I love this story so much! Spent the last few hours devouring it! Hope to see more soon!

Hey! I am really enjoying the story. I'm looking forward to the next chapter! Also, I really like the idea of Karin's zanpakuto. In my opinion, this story should probably remain rated M due to some of the darker themes.

Loving the story, can’t wait till the next chapter!

Thank you so much for posting! It's been too long! I thought this story had been abandoned, but I'm glad I was wrong!
I loved this chapter and I appreciate you adding a timeline! I personally would like to see more ToshiroxKarin interaction, but maybe I'll get some in the next chapter.
Please update soon! I love this story and seeing that it hasn't been abandoned made my day!
P.S. I hate how Kubo ended the series, too. I like how Karin's Zanpaktou was the Sokyoku - very inventive, not something I've ever seen before and I've read too much Bleach fan fiction. Unohana's discovery is depressing and I'm interested to see how Karin will handle it. I personally see this character as favoring a termination in light of the events preceding the pregnancy, but I've found most writers here don't like tackling that touchy issue. Really looking forward to seeing her interactions with Grimmjow in the future! I hope she dishes out some justice!
Well, I'm not sure how much Bleach canon you're adhering to (hopefully not too much because after the Winter War arc it nosedived lol) but maybe Isshin will reveal some info about his family name to Ichigo, allowing him to win back Rukia. Not sure, though. I know Ichigo lives to buck tradition and stick it the man. I think he loves Rukia enough to use his father's family name to allow them to be together, but I don't think he'd like doing it very much. Can't wait to see what you do with the story! Please, please, please update soon!

Speachless... you are doing great with this story ;)

I still wonder about the purpose of coaxing out Hichigo...
You have a new subscriber. Thank you for contributing to my sleep deprivation.

I am absolutely loving this story! I love the jumps to the past and how they explain things happening in the present! I was really wondering how this timeline was going to play out I couldn't imagine rukia hurting ichigo like that but everything makes sense the way you incorporated karin's power into a scheme was genius. I also like how you revisited scenes such as when rukia asked to see grimmjows student and shed more light on the scene since we had learned more details since then. Overall probably my favorite bleach fic I've read so far. My only complaint is that this was started over 6 years ago and still isn't complete :( But im sure you live a busy life like everyone else so keep it up!

I've just discovered your story and I love it! I've never been a huge fan of Karin but here I find her storyline so interesting I can't wait to read what will happen next, especially what will happen between her and Toshiro. As for Rukia and Ichigo, they are my absolute favorite couple so seeing them reunited is so great! Sure they will face many obstacles but they will overcome them as they always do. Pleaaase update soon !

Em... hello!
Actually, I started reading this story some days ago and i finished it just now... I really liked it... your style of writing, the storyline, the couples and above all it's realistic. Everyone does what he is expected to do if found in a situation. Their characters are not altered and if they are then it's for some reason.
I'm wrting the review firstly because I want to express my liking for the story and secondly to encourage you. I would ba glad it you continued with the story but if you don't wantfeel like it, then don't. Still, you're talented and if you don't write about this story then write for another one. I'm sure everyone would gladly read it.
I also wanted to do this:
'Short, green hair-like structures rising from the ground;' that's grass I guess
'a circular contraption with strange symbols on the rim, with two thin sword-like structures rotating from the center;' pass, it's kinda weird
'bright orange hair in spikes;' Ichigo!
'a white coat atop a red shirt with familiar ugly yellow shapes marking it;' Her dad, Ishinn?
'a soft, yellow creature with pointy ears and black beady eyes;' wow, she remembers Kon?!
'a large, beautiful flat face framed with long wavy tresses;' her mother's picture...
'a black and white sphere covered partially with brown sand;' the football of course
'her name being called by numerous young male voices;' her friends back in the living world
'a young girl with brown hair and a warm smile;' Yuzu!
'a hand sized machine with buttons and a screen;' the PlayStation?!
'a symmetrical dress with a white bottom half and a bright blue top half'' that's Rukia's dress I think...
Question -Toshiro? Does she not remember him?

Also, I want to try and guess the fragments. Here goes:

Green hair-like structures - grass
Circular contraption - clock
Bright orange hair - Ichigo (seems almost too obvious though)
White coat atop red shirt - Isshin, perhaps? Not sure about this one
Soft yellow creature - Kon
Beautiful flat face with wavy hair - Masaki? Also not too sure about this one, could be Rangiku
Black and white sphere - soccer ball
Her name being called - her friends
Girl with brown hair and warm smile - Yuzu
Hand sized machine - phone
Symmetrical blue and white dress - Rukia's dress?
Deep eyes shaded blue - Toshiba's eyes

Let me know how I do!

Wow this is an amazing piece of literature. The storyline is pretty confusing - with all the hopping around in the timeline and such, but the characters and plot are so developed that I keep reading it. I really want to know how the Arrancars gained such a huge power boost and where the heck Nel is at. Hopefully Urahara has something that will put the captains back on equal footing with them. I hate seeing Toshiro lose fights so badly, but that's just because he's one of my favorites and I don't think the anime did his abilities justice.

I would really like to see all the details from the past catch up to the present so that the present-day storyline can continue on with the main plot. I appreciate the thought and effort you're putting into the past, but jumping around so much is making the story difficult to fully enjoy. I love the dynamics that you've put in with all the characters and I can't wait to see how their relationships play out. I also really want to find out what happened to Karin - is she really dead? In one of your chapters Grimmjow told Rukia that if one half of Karin dies the other will as well...I don't want to see Karin die so unsatisfactorily. I hope that she kills at least kill one of her rapists before she's gone for good.

Also, I love how dark you've taken this story. All the motivations behind the characters were believable and I especially loved how you showed Grimmjow justifying what he was doing. On some level I get why he did what he did, but his reasons don't erase his actions. I would love if you showed more of Karin's POV for these events - what drives her to keep going, keep getting stronger. I get that she wants revenge, and even that she wants to die, but even someone as resilient as Karin has got to wonder if fighting is even worth it at some point. What kept her from just laying down and letting Grimmjow and/or Luppi from beating her to a pulp? Even when she put up a fight the result was relatively the same. I can infer that her anger fueled her to keep trying to gain power, but I feel like she has some strong emotions on the issue and your writing is skilled enough to do such powerful scenes justice.

Anyway, thank you for this story! Please keep writing - you're too talented not to!

I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS STORY BUT IM SO GLAD YOU UPDATED! I HAVE TO REREAD IT NOW :))
