Meh.....who knows. Could have been my browser showing the weird symbols to me only, but strange that they only appeared in chapters 30-something and up. I had checked back in here 2-3 days later and they were all gone. They're still gone now so all is right again. LOL ^^

Loved the new chapter update! The interaction between Ajuga and Yumichika was really sweet. The way Ulquiorra and the old fart faced off against each other verbally was pretty great, too. Thanks so much for the update!

Nooo Jushiro!!! I hope he is found by someone soon and promptly recieves medical treatment.
Also, that whole stand off with Barragan was kind of amazing. Poor Ajuga. So glad Ulqiorra came running when he felt Hime's fear. <333

Your story is splendid. Ive been following it for months. I don't mind if its 500 chapters long. Of course..I know it must come to an end...but I hope that end is at least a year away. Can't wait to read more.

Love the interaction with Yumichika. Poor Jushiro, I hope he gets better and not worse. Hmmm ... We haven't seen much of how Barragan treats his 'pets' but just because of Ajuga's reaction (she seems a good judge of character) he needs to be locked away with Yammey and Aizen with no one else around. Hmmm maybe in a spatial rift that lets them see everyone but otherwise have no interaction or contact ... and of course everyone else could ignore them. Gotta wonder what the three would do once they discovered there was no way out and they were stuck with only each other.

Wonder how Starrk will react to Jushiro's situation ... I'm sure he felt something through the claim and should go back to check. It's sad that Orahime can't fix his disease ... or has she even been asked to try since I don't know that she is aware of it in the cannon nor has she offered to or tried to cure him in cannon to the best of my knowledge. I'm sure the girls will be upset ~ ok, Ajuga would probably see it as a pack member is sick or simply because it upsets mama, Nanao, Orahime, and eventually Rangeku ~ even though the espada may take it more in stride (still think Starrk cares a bit for his 'pets' and might be saddened to a degree).

The need for an update on Ajuga came at a surprisingly convenient time. I'm sure Szayel didn't just use it as an excuse to rescue Ajuga from Barragan (riiiight ... I get the feeling that once she's grown and her hormones say get a mate ... Szayel might suddenly find himself with a very adept and accomplished stalker ~ much to everyone's distress. If he manages to get over his PTSD he might even decide by that time that he's ready to let her be in charge of a few private experamints (as long as she promises to keep him safe from daddy) ~oh, and she'd probably be the one to put the claim on him and knock mama's claim into a distant fading memory. But that is just how I see Ajuga acting once she starts seeing Szayel as a potential and viable mate instead of a 'family friend' and a protector ... he is one of her few male playmates and he would fall into the 'sophisticated older man-teacher' group that school-age girls usually get their first crush on.

Karin and Grimmjow are most definitely not going to like hearing of Barragan's interest in Ajuga. Even Ulquiorra didn't seem too impressed. Half expected Barragan to use his ability and age Ajuga several years right there. Hate Aizen but it might be worth him seeing and hearing the little interchange just to get Soi Fon and Yumichika to new masters ... and Barragan gone completely. Let's see ... Grimm only has one claim, Ulqui only has one claim, Nnoitra only has one claim, unfortunately Yammey has one claim (though he would probably like to have a second 'pretty-hime' to give Bya company and a rest at times or just have two 'trophys' on his arm), seems Harribel only has one (and she prefers females) ... Starrk and Szayel appear to be the only two besides Barragan with two active claims so if he was disposed of his two claims and one surviving fractionne could conceivably go to another ... of course there is always the possibility that Ggio would officially claim Soi Fon if given the chance in that case. Although Aisen might permit Starrk a third and possibly fourth simply because of how frail Jushiro is ... and because Starrk is the Primo espada and strong enough to control them ~ though I suppose they could say one belonged to Lilinette (lol). Hmmm ... If Barragan and Yammey lost their claims I'd opt for Ggio and Soi Fon, Starrk getting Byakuya to help Nanao care for Jushiro, and Lilinette getting Yumichika (you could just see him cringing at her fashion sense) ... and Ajuga happily chasing Szayel's tail without him realizing she is slowly growing up and the chasing is definitely becoming less of a playful childish focus and more of a grown-up amorous focus ... Until the day she pounces him and declares "MINE!" and dives in for a mind-numbing and breath-raking kiss that leaves him stunned and speechless ... And, of course I'd love to see Rangeku with a baby bump and Nnoitra treating her like she's the most delicate and priceless crystal in the world (not to mention seeing him hold his own baby for the first time ... Think that might scare him more than fighting the entire swarm single-handedly). Even if we only get to see her make the announcement I guess the reaction would be good enough. Would kinda like to see the protection break and Tatsuki at least go through a scare if not get preggers (again ... I suppose just seeing it happen at the end and showing Tesra's reaction might be enough). Wonder what it will take for Nnoitra to get the 'balls' to ask Rangeku to be his mate ... think he's convinced she'd say no. Of course if she and Tatsuki were talking about it and he overheard Rangeku whistfully say that maybe one day he'd really want her and care for her that much ... but (in a sad voice) that's too much to ever hope for ... he might get the hint. Glad Nnoitra is giving Rangeku a bit more freedom.

Hi! I've been reading and following this story for a good long while now (since early august, I think), and am only just now reviewing (I am a lurker, heh...). Anyway, I absolutely love this story and the way you portray the characters (especially Tesla; I often find myself squealing like the shameless fangirl that I am when I read scenes with him, simply from how adorable I find him!), and I can't wait to find out what happens! :D

Interesting that you decided to make Tesla a natural born hollow. I've noticed the lack of hollow holes in certain Arrancars including Szayel and Coolhorn and had wondered about that. To further support this Tesla is 2nd least twisted arrancar (Nel being the least twisted) and Coolhorn describes himself a pure hearted (which is odd because hollows have no hearts). Also Szayel acts civilized most of the time and has a brother but unfortunately Yylfort has a hollow hole so that would debunk them being blood relatives if one is a born hollow.

I wanted to comment this now given what happened in the last chapter it looks like Tatsuki wont be ripping out Szayel's hair and braiding it into rope for more than one reason. And I just realized I must have been anticipating the development of the Tatsuki/Tesla relationship a little too much given the significance of hollows doing it from the front. When I read the first sentence and the first 5 words in particular I thought the porn started at the start of the chapter.

You KNOW I love your stories my dear......but I have to ask what's up with all the weird looking question mark symbols that have appeared in chapters 36 to the most recent chapter that was posted today. None of the chapters were like this when I read your last update....but now there's a weird symbol in place of your quotation marks and apostrophes.

Heartstrings have indeed been pulled.

P.S. I love you. I love your writing.
