"I am the flowering of a thousand fruitless lives, and I am their thousand deaths. I am unlimited blades, sealed into a single sword. Unfold me with 'Chire,' and my scattered shape will carve you a thousand victories. My name is Senbonzakura, and I am yours."

O_O Dang. Just. Wow. I loved the imagery and the perfect way you envisioned her. You described their relationship to perfection. Respectful, honorable, perhaps a touch affectionate, and a bit distant as is appropriate for an empress :) stunning!

Nicely done. this is totaly how I imagined senbonzakura before the whole zanpakuto rebellion ark. i was like ...o.o wtf.

this piece is beautiful and you have some awesome lines in it too but I think my favourite is:

She is the thousand blades that women wield behind their paper fans.

Its just awesome. The last line somehow always seems to give me shivers, its like she is saying that although she seems regal, sweet and innocent she is also deadly.

excellent job on this.

great work

It's amazing how you wrote this fic.

Love it :)

wow i really loved that! if i'd be a zanpakto, i'd be senbonzakura i think..

I never thought SenbonZakura as a woman ! but, why not ?

very well written ! good imagination !

a big BRAVO !

that was wonderful.

very beautiful...the deepness of the composition was stunningly perfect in accordance to the characters used. i wish to read more fictions like this.

Stunning imagery and beautifully poetic befitting of Byakuya.

Excellent imagery, though one wonders what she made of Hisana.

This is gorgeous. A lovely, lovely piece.

WOW! I really liked it!

Wonderful jobs, the emotions are very well portraited!

Splendidly done. Your words are as exquisite and elegant as the characters you've described. Bravo to you and your skill in bringing to life this delicate relationship between the swordsman and his weapon.

Totally Awesome. Totally Really Awesome. I love every sentence in it. The descriptions and the dialogue are fantastic. I'm so adding this to my faves _
