Yay for another chapter. Again, wonderfully written. When you said that Ichimaru and Hitsugaya were your favorite characters, I can't say I was surprised. In all honesty, I've always been a fan of Hitsugaya and...intrigued?...by Gin. Was never a fan of Gin/Hitsugaya until I started reading your work here (although, I will admit that I wrote a Gin/Hitsu oneshot...very short and very dark). You portray them so well and just like Peter Jackson and Lord of the Rings, since you're a true fan, you do an amazing job of sticking to the facts and keeping the characters true to their canon personalities. That on top of your great writing skills makes this piece a joy to read...and has actually turned me into a shipper of Gin/Hitsugaya. (^_^)

And I'll agree with you concerning Nnoitra. He so easily falls into that category, but he plays the part so well, so I can't blame you for choosing him. The glaring contest you had between Nnoitra and Gin was perfect...the imagery was great and their characters never felt odd or out of place, making me feel almost as frightened as Hitsugaya was at their little confrontation. (^_~) You apologized for making Hitsugaya whiny at the beginning, but in all honesty, i don't think it didn't come across that way. Your explanation for why Hitsugaya hated white...hated his hair...it was all so very much in character and sounded so much like him, how he would go about loathing it silently, only his glare showing that he is/was the slightest bit put off. Absolutely amazing. I can't wait for the next chapter.

im in lust with this story, it almost kills me having to wait for your updates. but please do update again soon.

Oh man... It's pure pleasure to read this.
I can't say it enough times, you really capture Ichimaru. I freaking love him.
And it was really good how you used Hitsugaya's hair as a red thread through the chapter. Well done.

It's gonna be interesting to see how the story evolve.

I love this story! Characterisation is spot on! 'Shiro as that boy who so desperately wants to be a man, and most of the time succeeds. Most of the time. And Gin... This fic makes me love him even more, for the way that I can NEVER tell what the hell is going on with him.

And yes, I think Nnoitra seems at home in that role.

Can't wait for an update! I hope you don't leave us hanging too long, 'cause I just NEED to know!

*heh* thanks for the plushie ^-^ Love the chapter by the way, poor Hitsugaya if only he didn't reek fuckable lol can't wait for the next chapter <3

I like plainly everything about this story. The tension between Hitsugaya and Gin is awesome, the slow development is perfect. Gin and Hitsugaya stay, unlike many other stories in my opinion, pretty much in character which is great!
Please continue writing, I can't await the next chapters!

Haha, I never expected my reviews meant so much to you! Now I've got to meet each of your stunning chapters with a right and proper statement of my own...no pressure or anything. And, although *technically* I reviewed this at Midnight, we can still count it as today. I like to think that tomorrow doesn't start until I wake up, but that's just me...afraid, though, that this one may lack in its usual splendor. Think of it as a...filler review. I apologize if it's substandard, I'm exhausted, but I have time now, so best to act while the chance is present.

Quite the build up to Ichimaru's final words, which leave something of a chill in the air. The fact that he lost his smile was a rather significant moment, though, and I certainly picked up on that. Seems like he doesn't want to see Toshiro hurt, not physically at least, this early in. Yet he kept up the games, faltering for but a moment before getting back into stride. But Toshiro was all over the board - confused, angry, hurt, and that itself lent to a strong contrast. Shame the chapter was so short, but often the best things in life are to be taken in moderation. Alas, the die has been cast, and I feel that within the next two, perhaps three, chapters, something big will happen. Dunno if it's going to be a good or bad big, or even if I'm imagining it - it is a little bit late - but the conflict is boiling over. Shall we see a bang, or would you tease us with a fizzle?

aaah...*sigh*....I just had to read this again. (^_^) I love your descriptions, how you keep them in character so well, the emotions behind everything...it's such a beautiful piece. I told my sister about this story (she's a huge fan of shounen-ai/yaoi in general so I thought maybe she'd appreciate this story with how well written it is). I look forward to the next chapter! And until then, I'll probably be re-reading this again and again till you update. (^_~)

Magnificent as always! I think everybody will agree that you deserve applauds on that one. Very deep and capturing chapter! Please, do update soon! I honestly enjoy the story. It might as well be the only reason why I occasionally visit this site.

This story is . . . wow . . . Hitsugaya is my favorite character and it is just brilliant to pair him with Gin. I always felt that he had more than one side and you are portraying it so perfectly, not to mention that you are still keeping Hitsugaya in character as well. I am completely hooked to this story, it is so well written and I feel as though the actual writers' of Bleach have written this as a side story, it's that well written really! The plot is orginal as well, I can't wait for the next chapter. Keep up the good work and I have to thank you for taking your writing so seriously, I can tell you work so hard on this story.
