The Bridge Of Silence
+---+
+Surprising Declarations+
The nervousness spread around Kurosaki Ichigo like the rapid waters of a stream, rushing and pushing strongly to the point of drowning a body inside of its waters. He stood there in his room, quietly going over the plan of telling Kuchiki Byakuya about his adoptive sister being pregnant with his child. It was a murderous attempt, perhaps a death note to his already short life in the human world--knowing that the ruthless stoic captain would come and bankai his ass to death.
Ichigo shook violently on that thought, the shock of knowing that he had defeated him once seemed still hard to believe, but knowing that he had more of a reason to kill the orange head seemed like one of those scary movies. Rukia laid asleep in his bed, her hair sprawled around her and looking peaceful. He had never thought that he would be a father at the age of 17, far too young for him--somehow though the orange head didn't mind that at all.
"What am I going to do?" He said aloud, running a hand thru his spiky orange locks. His amber eyes holding fear and determination, everything coming at once didn't feel that great at all. "I'm going to have to get this over with--before I chicken out and look like a complete ass." He pressed the badge on his chest, allowing his body to drop lifelessly on the bed next to Rukia.
The breeze of the chilly February day burned against his warm skin as he jumped out of his window, landing instantly on the black top of the street, and he ran off to Urahara's to get the gate to Soul Society and tell the Kuchiki Byakuya that he was going to be an uncle somewhere around November.

The large training room underneath Urahara's shop had turned into a nice wedding place, the once rocky theme like room was transformed into a greenery picturesque painting with all the flowers as decorations. Hitsugaya gazed at it for a little while longer, until someone called over to him announcing that he had to get dressed as the guests were due to arrive in less then forty minutes.
He nodded in acknowledgement, while thinking that the wedding was actually going to take place in only an hour and a half. The thought of marriage was awry since the beginning, knowing that one had to promise to love someone for the rest of their lives until death would thou them apart--but would that actually apply to them since they were already dead?
He somewhat criticize his attempt at the irony comment, but pushed it aside quickly as he walked inside one of the rooms available in the store for him to change. The room was empty for the most part, only his black tux hung on a little hinge in the middle of the room, while his dress shoes were sat on the floor on the corner of the room. The large mirror in the middle of the room reflected him back, the usual annoyed knitted frown was not in place--only a blank expression seemed to be painted as his towering figure only seemed to standstill.
"Hitsugaya-kun." The voice came from behind the screen door, it seemed that it was time for that father-to-groom talk. The white haired captain grimaced a little as he opened the door for Kurosaki Isshin.
"What is it?" He asked bluntly, feeling like formalities with the 5th squad captain were unnecessary.
"Ah, my future son! It is good to know that you have not run away." The eccentric shinigami wrapped his arm on Toushiro's shoulder, pulling him in a tight hug with a smile on his face. "My lovely daughter will be happy, I know it. A beautiful son and a strong man as her husband, a father could never ask for more."
The white haired shinigami groaned inwardly, this conversation was expected to say the least, but it was way too awkward.
"I know Kurosaki Isshin-taichou, Karin is a very wonderful woman and person. And, I also know that I am lucky to be marrying her." He said, as much as a softy he was sounding right now it seemed proper to say at the moment. "I will protect her with my life no matter what, and I will make her happy with all of my might along with Tatsuya."
"Good son, good! I am glad we had this clear." Isshin smiled and patted Toushiro in the back. "Now, off for you to get ready. Wouldn't want to make my daughter wait for you because of me." He smiled and walked out of the room.
The icy captain couldn't help but smirk a little, even as much as he really couldn't stand him or that other oaf Kurosaki Ichigo--they were exceptionally nice enough to not make a big ruckus on this day. Also, he had a new great respect for his brother-in-law to be since he pulled him out of that depressive state, reminding him about the responsibilities that made their way into his life.
Sighing, he pulled the black tux from the plastic bag and slowly began to put it on his body. He honestly hated gigais, always hard to handle them and walk around like a normal human being--slightly stiff if he could add on the criticism of them. The black dress shirt blended well against his tan skin, actually make it stand out more since the entire attire was black, with the exception of the tie--which still was black but a blue dragon stitched to it; courtesy of his sister-in-law.
He stared at his figure after finishing putting all the clothes on him, he stood out handsomely and strong on the suit. Perhaps he was still human, the look of a corporal lawyer (whatever that actually was) wouldn't be too bad on him at all.
Another faint knock came from his door, ruining his little rant on inside of him. A soft 'come in' escaped his lips, seriously abiding himself from bothering to see who it was. In the mirror, he saw Hinamori Momo standing still, shyly trying not to look at him directly in the eye. She wore a red-orange sun dress with her hair pulled up in a messy bun, while her light make-up made it nearly impossible to actually tell the difference from her regular self.
"What is it Hinamori?" Toshiro asked, turning around and looking at her brown eyes.
The fragile shinigami squeaked, looking at him with wild eyes as if there was seriously something to be afraid of him in the first place. She stared at his ocean green orbs, so hypnotizing as always and hard as they had been since she had met him. There he stood, in his wedding attire ready to be married to the girl she wished to be--had been wanting for quite a while now.
"Ah, I wanted to say congratulations before your big day." She smiled nervously at him, trying her best not to be drowned on his handsome features--even if he never felt anything towards her. "How--how does it feel?" She fidgeted while twiddling her thumbs.
"I would thank you, but I know your intentions are more then that." He muttered, gazing down at her and then turning around to the mirror as he fixed his mop of white hair. "What is it that you want to say Hinamori? Your words hide something behind them, always had been for the past ten years already."
She glared at him momentarily, fixing her posture to make her look as if she was unbothered by his revelations.
"I--are you sure that you want this? Getting married to nobility, knowing that you'll be forced to act and pretend around those nobles." The former 5th squad fukutaichou expressed, walking around the room for a bit while attempting to release some of her own stress. "I've never thought you would be that type of guy, the one to marry and commit to something that would last for eternity. You've changed, you know that."
"I haven't changed Hinamori, you have. After so many years, you've ignored me, and when you would see me you'll act as if you still liked me just the same as before the war." He glared at her, really thinking that she was in the verge of actually saying something more to him. "Nobility would be the same as being a captain, besides Karin doesn't particularly like that noble side of her. And, if you didn't know about my commitment then perhaps you didn't know me at all."
She looked like she had been slapped in the face at the last comment, feeling hurt at the fact that he spoke like that--so mature as always and extremely determined with his future already. He had changed, all of those once childish ways had vanished from his face and replaced with his new duties, that façade only faded in the arms of that other woman. Everything, those years spent together and acting like brother and sister faded into the past, replaced with only regret and jealousy.
Frankly, she did regret the fact that she had chosen the traitor over him--who would had guessed that Hitsugaya Toushiro would become a committed man and a responsible father in only a matter of a ten year span. Kurosaki Karin would be living the dream, the perfect husband and the child that had both hers and his genes, why couldn't Momo have that?
"Maybe, maybe not Shiro-chan. Would you make a mistake?"
"No, me marrying Karin is nothing of the sort at all. I have a duty for her, and even if she hadn't gotten pregnant--my feelings for her would had never change at all."
"Why, why her and not me?" Her tone was now pleading, she shifted towards him and grasped his hand. "What does she have that I don't? Power? I was once a vice-captain. Tell me, I would want to change so you could love me and not her."
Hitsugaya pushed her hand away, but she wouldn't let go; instead she hugged him tightly unwilling of letting go.
"Hinamori, I can't change my feelings in a matter of minutes." Toshiro expressed, feeling like this was going to take longer then anticipated.
"For me, you would. Do you still love me? You promised to protect me from evil once--are you going to break your promise." Momo looked up at him, a tiny flame of hope still burned inside of her heart. Longing to know that he still loved her was necessary. If he were to say that he wouldn't break that promise would be too good for her, she only hoped for that because then Hitsugaya would be forced to love her unconditionally.
The white haired captain noticing the subtle hint of a loop hole in those words, every little thing coming from his former friend was that of a desperate woman wanting to have everything in life due to her already broken exterior. The frown in his face knitted tighter, the anger shadowing that look as those teal orbs turned darker as the words sank in slowly.
"That promise was made to the former you, the one who needed rescue and protection." He pushed her hard this time, nearly knocking her against the floor. "I protected you because I cared about you once, but that past has been buried deep into the shallow dark side of my mind that isn't needed. All of those memories that I shared with you have been erased, replaced by other feelings and the present that nearly suffocates me at the moment." Toshiro ran a hand thru his white locks, and looked at his former friend again--glaring and wanting to vanish her to the depths of darkness.
Momo gasped, her eyes widening at those words because of their impact that which felt cold--the rejection was plain as the day. It hurt to say the least, so would that be the defeat?
"I--I thought you--cared." Her words chocked at the back of her throat, a sob coming around the corner as tears began to form in her wielding eyes.
"Did, are you not listening to me?" The white haired shinigami opened the door of the room and had his back against her. "Maybe, despite my shallowness and selfishness I had loved you in the past. I had hoped one day for you to be mine, but maybe that was only pity I felt towards you knowing that someone had betrayed you. Now, you might know how it feels to know that the person you loved will no longer be there for you. My heart changed for someone, Karin understands that me more then I do myself, and she's strong enough to know that things only happen. I hope for the day in which your feelings would no longer waver over me, so forget me and move on to someone who would love you for you, instead of loving you the way I once did." With that, he stepped out of the threshold and out into the hallway, leaving the other shinigami inside with a lot to think about.

Karin stared at herself in the mirror, the dress was placed on her body tightly as a normal bride would look like--she assumed of course on that speculation that was wearing thin in her brain. The guests seemed to be arriving one by one, perhaps the large underground training area was filled with the guests from Soul Society and the living--such a weird combination since it was the living and the dead. Her hair had been put in curls around her, the veil was clipped in and she looked fairly well.
The feeling of happiness surged like an electrical storm in the sky, lightning it brightly with its shocking colours. Somehow though, it was a suffocating emotion that seemed to only grow and become denser as the clock ticked loudly in the silence. The door opened as her orange haired brother stepped in, he clad himself in a black tux himself, the red tie standing out nicely against the dark greyed shirt underneath the suit.
"How are you doing here?" He asked, his smirk growing slightly brighter as he stared at his younger sister in her wedding gown. "I've never actually thought that this would happen, whatever happen to our old Karin?" He could not help but laugh.
"I'm--happy I guess." She scratched her head a little, but smiled nonetheless. "And, she's still here but only growing more mature."
"Um, never though I'd actually see that day." Ichigo laughed and earned a punch from his young sister, but he couldn't help it to reveal his own happiness.
Karin was a strong woman who seemed to be able to handle herself well, without depending on others to protect herself, but somehow, she was different from the usual arrogant teenager who hated to act like a normal girl. Life changed for her, the experiences that which took part in her life managed to mold into a different person for over the years.
"So, how do I look? I actually hate wearing dresses." Karin groaned a bit, as she continued to fumble with the ruffles of her dress.
"I think it looks nice." The orange haired man expressed, looking at her closely and seeing that she was moving on so quickly. "Everyone is almost here, only Ishida and his--whatever she is--are due to arrive anytime soon. So, guess this is it."
"Feeling nervous? Strange? Overly happy? Scared?"
"Nervous, nothing more I think. I've made sure not to actually drink coffee this morning just for this."
They laughed, but then quickly returned to silence as they looked around the room. Even as much as everyone said they were alike, Karin and Ichigo actually get close without needing to express it ever single second of their lives. The bond that existed was tighter then anyone would actually guess at it, each holding onto their own hopes and dreams, but sharing the same feeling of wanting to exceed their own expectations against the world.
"I'm actually glad that you're marrying Toushiro." He began his little talk, which he had been holding for a few days already. "He's strong, stubborn sometimes, but the one person who I know will make you happy. I've never had actually believed that you'll marry someone like him, except that sometimes you do the most mundane things I wished to fully comprehend--and I could never hate your judgement."
She gave her brother a strange look, one of surprised and extreme care for him as well. Those words were far too nice then she actually thought she'd deserved it, but they were really nice of him.
"Ichi-nii, you're going to ruin my mascara." She dabbed the tears from her eyes, and threw her arms around her tall brother and hugged him. "Thank you for always protecting me. You're always around to pull me from whatever shit I go thru, and never judge me for other reasons except being a complete idiot. And, I am grateful that you're my brother. You're more amazing then you'll ever know."
The amber eyes sparkled with happiness, it was so strange feeling such a suffocating happiness like that somehow it was far too much. He hugged her, and then pulled her at arms length while looking into her mature face.
"Thanks, Karin." A smile spread around his face, while she smiled back at him.
"Now, if you tell anyone about this I'll kick you ass." A threatening gaze escaped her eyes, and then turned into an innocent look.
"I know, no need to remind me about it. Come on, its about time this wedding starts. Wouldn't want old man to come and get you."
+---+
The soft water falling from the fountain filled the silence, coughs and whispers were filling the large room--echoing in the distance. Toushiro stared out, standing at the end of the aisle awaiting for his beloved to arrive, and then move on with their lives with whatever the distant future would bring. The overwhelming happiness was surging in and out of him, his heart was beating wildly like no other time before, his fingers shaking uncontrollably as never before. The feeling was new, knowing that there was a promise to make to someone that would last for eternity--that was possible.
All the guests sat there, staring merrily at the groom and awaiting for the bride to walk down and have the couple get married. The wedding was just like any other, the white tulips and the red roses decorating the rows of black chairs. The altar was decorated in white and icy blue mesh, while synthetic small flowers decorated it neatly. The grooms and bridesmaids entered--Ichigo was dressed in all black and a red tie, Rukia in his arm dressed in a flowing knee length scarlet red dress. Renji clad in a black tux with the royal blue tie, Tatsuki in his arm dressed in a long royal blue strapless gown. Hisagi was dressed in all black as well with a gold tie, while Yuzu was dressed in a golden baby doll type of dress--all of them wearing a bright smile upon their faces.
The white haired captain stood there, smiling a little bit towards them and then returning his gaze into the entrance of the large room while waiting for his wife-to-be coming down from the length of stairs. The cliché music began playing, though Karin had personally asked to have it change into the dramatic Moonlight Sonata, who had guessed that she had classic taste?
His eyes widened, the woman that walked besides his father-in-law to be couldn't possibly be the woman he loved so dearly. She was the embodiment of an angel descending from heaven, Toushiro didn't care how stupid or how corny that sounded, but how else could he describe her ethereal beauty? While looking at her it was like falling in love with her again, such beauty couldn't possibly become his wife?
All of it, the music, the guests--they were surreal and uncanny compare to what beauty she embodied in herself. The glistening tears that were forming in her dark eyes were so soft, her angelic smile radiating brightly as she looked into his ocean green eyes. They were like the shinning ocean water under the sun, the light gazed upon them and made them brighter.
Both of them felt like the air had suddenly disappeared, the pressure falling in their own bodies heavily as the happy feeling sank deeper.
"Here, I am giving you my daughter to take and to make her happy." Isshin smiled, not acting like his abnormal self just for the occasion. "Protect her with your life."
"Hai, I will." The white haired man nodded and took the bride's slender hand, such warmth she gave off.
They stared at each other with smiles on their faces, the flame burning in their irises as they heard the priest speak. The moment at which they existed was out of this world, neither of them thinking about anything else but their selves. At their turn, each said their vows and continued to show an unworldly happiness that escaped their lips.
The guests couldn't help but notice it, something about the couple was unearthly and so--there weren't sufficient words to describe the scene at the moment.
The 'you may kiss the bride' part came, each smiled at each other again while everyone awaited anxiously to see how they sealed the deal with the kiss. As they did, Karin closed her eyes to forget the world, to forget the worries that continued to haunt the back of her head. For Toushiro, he only wanted to forget that there was no one else watching them, and knowing that this moment only embarked the future that which he had never imagined.
Everyone clapped, whistled, and cheered at the couple knowing that they were made for each other even if at first the relationship had been slightly illegal. Somehow, the idea of the bride being a former human involved with a soul didn't seem so trivial, and now that didn't matter since they were both souls that had intertwined into a destiny that seemed so uncertain.
As for Hinamori, the one guest that which felt disgusted sat there emitting anger from her brown eyes. She hated it, oh how she hated seeing them together standing there all happy . The jealously, anger and every single feeling was present there--the resentment growing darker as it made a hole in her heart. Perhaps she should be happy, but how could that be accomplished when a girl who had been a shinigami for only a short few years managed to grasp a captain like Hitsugaya.
The former vice-captain wondered, she wondered how Kuchiki Rukia gained such happiness with the former ryoka boy; even she was allowed happiness. Hisagi, her former mentor at some point, being betrayed and having to battle his own captain could had done some damage--he too was allowed happiness. Maybe there didn't exist a happiness that which she could get a hold off, only feeling sorry for herself and angry at everyone around her was the only destiny that was allowed for her.
"I love you, Toushiro." Karin expressed as they held onto each other, while the rest of their guests enjoyed their food. They stood in a corner on the large room that which had been turned into the reception room.
"I love you as well." Hitsugaya smiled at her, caressing her cheek and still feeling like she was simply a hallucination created by his own mind. No, she was there holding onto him. "We still have the official Soul Society wedding, you know those will take a while."
"Refrain from reminding me about that, only because I am fucking nobility." The dark haired woman groaned, looking into those eyes that she always drowned herself in. "Come on, I need to get out because I need some fresh air."
The newly married couple escaped their guests, avoiding from being detected until they reached the door and stepped out of the store. The sun was sinking slowly on the horizon line, the indigo colours shinning brightly against the darker colours of the night sky that was descending in. The breeze was gentle as Karin dragged her husband with her hand down the street, her dress scurrying against the black pavement but didn't really care so much.
Toushiro said nothing as he allowed his wife to drag him down the street, the people watching them with smiles and raising their thumbs at him or winking at him. Somehow, calling Karin 'wife' seemed slightly strange for some reason, but it didn't bother him at all. The breeze billowing softly into her hair and the veil, her face shinning with happiness as her radiant smile made his insides squirm.
"You know, we left Tatsuya back there." He broke the silence, as she continued to drag him along the sidewalk and into an empty road.
"I know, but Amaya is watching him and dancing with him." She answered, continuing to take him along the road in which they first met when she had been a mere ten year old girl.
Suddenly, she stopped as the railing stood alone like it always had been, the sun was setting as she stared at it as the memories flooded against the two. Toushiro stared at it, simply feeling like it was completely unordinary, but understandable to say the least. The memories of those many years past, back when he still looked like an elementary school kid while she was a tomboy girl playing soccer.
"Remember, this is where I asked you to play soccer with me." Karin said, looking at Toushiro and then back at the sun. "I've never thought that I'd become a soul reaper back then, joining you in your world, and then marrying you after having your child. I find that to be extremely weird, but what the hell--my life has never been normal at all."
"I remember, calling me an elementary school student and all of that." Hitsugaya smirked, taking her free hand and holding it tight. "Destinies are hard to follow, so I don't have anything against the changes. We'll manage to move on in time, make our lives together with everyone around us, and then whatever happens next will happen."
She smiled at him and hugged him tightly, smelling the cologne and his warmth that radiating off of him and wrapping her in. It was ungodly knowing that she had gotten herself a man like him, someone who's strength meant everything, while the kindness seemed to always show itself in his eyes--destines surely played around.
Hitsugaya looked down at her and smiled again, her eyes shinning brightly as the wind breezed by between the two. He kissed her again, tasting her and smelling the sweet smell of her perfume, her soft black hair brushing against his hands. The softness of her skin was still surreal, she was delicate despite being strong and harsh--the complete opposite of what he thought she was like long ago.
Karin snaked her arms around his neck, pulling him down closer to deepened the kiss that was slowly turning more passionate. The softness of that white hair never really failed to make an impression on her, how could anyone deserve a man like him? Somehow, Karin didn't care as she allowed him to kiss her senseless as they often did.

The shadows in the large white room crept slowly, two figures--one short, one tall entered the half-lit room. A long chair sat in the middle, the tiles were all white just as the room; the two figures stood there in silence and emotionless. The short figure's pallid skin illuminated brightly against the darkness in the room, while the tall one had merely tanned skin with tattoos printed all over the body.
"What news do you bring?" A soft, but cold voice asked.
"From our informant," The tall figure began, his voice was soft like the wind.
"That the marriage between the shinigami Kurosaki Karin, and the captain of the 10th squad, Hitsugaya Toushiro has been sealed." The short figure finished, the bored tone lacing all of the words making them sound cold. "Our source has stated that Soul Society has yet to find out our plans, it seems as though that the child captain has said nothing about what he overheard on his stay."
The figure on the chair smiled softly, the figured grabbed a piece of hair, twirling it on those fingers as the eyes stared carefully at the other two.
"As expected, so predictable." The figure spoke, the smiling tone present in the voice. "Our former allies will be destroyed by their own people, the chaos and calamity I will cause can possibly end Soul Society. The two of you have done a wonderful job, but it is time to pay a visit to our former friends. The shock and disbelief will sink deeper, knowing that they no longer have me--Aizen's reign will continue on with our work."
"Yes, Empress." The emotionless voice stated, eyes carefully searching in the darkness for a smile of approval for the work.
"You're my loyal subject, I cannot refuse not to complement you or your associate." The empress smiled, standing up. "Prepare for going to the Karakura, we'll start our movement soon."
"Hai!" The two figures said, and disappeared out of the door.
The empress stayed behind, staring at the small window that revealed the moon that shone brightly upon the sands of Hueco Mundo. Everything seemed different from her perspective now, ruling over a place like this didn't held much meaning because she still couldn't forget her void of losing a lot of things. During almost 10 years life hadn't become easier, ruling over monsters that which barely understood the politics of a monarchy or whatever, was a hardship.
"Mother, will you not come to bed." The handsome figure entered the chambers, the softness on the face seemed far too kinder compared to the surroundings.
"I will my son, you don't need to worry about my well being. My work is only to make your father proud, to let you become him and let his rule live on." The empress smiled, turning towards her son and running her hand on his face. "You've grown so much my son, will you tell me what is on your mind?"
"It is nothing that you should fear mother, I believe that is only a trivial matter I worry so much." The son replied, looking out at the moon and its light that shone ever so brightly against the shadows. "Why do you enjoy the darkness? Do you not fear what lays beyond it?"
The empress chuckled lightly and returned her piercing gaze out into the window, the bars that split some of the view was no longer fearful at all as it had been many years ago. Holding power, holding rule over creatures that barely stood on their own--somehow that didn't compare to the feelings many years ago.
"No, there is nothing I fear at all. Fear is the link that weakens us from our battle, winning and striving for the best is the only best thing one should do." Her words grew softer, much to her older self. "Darkness is the only thing that can keep me from looking back to the past. The compassion has faded, the importance of my old life is no longer meaningful--so what I fear is only that I won't be strong enough to continue my plan on making you King."
"I see. Then, I assume that I must become strong like Father in order to let his legacy live on." Her son expressed, the handsome smile of his father was very much present there. "I'll make him proud, swear to rule over anyone who does not desire to be ruled by our ideals. Is that what you believe?"
"Yes, that is only my deepest wish." His mother sighed and turned towards the door. "Come on Makoto, we need to make way for a little visit soon."
"Hai, mother." He trailed behind her back into the lit hallway.

Bloody hell! Its my 10 chapter! Wow, bloody brilliant. Alright, well I'll like to thank realityfling18, happygirl24, Tsukihime nee, and ChidoriSakura112 for their reviews. You guys truly are the best, so I'll like to say thank you very, very much from the bottom of my heart. No, it is not the end to my story just yet, so don't panic at all. Alright, so much happening at once so where in the bloody hell should I start this? Um, oh well everyone you got the wedding. One thing I can tell you right now, is that I really suck at those scenes so please bare with me on that part for goodness sake. I swear, if my life depended on that I don't think I'll make it out alive XD! I know our Toushiro was extremely harsh against the ever-so annoying Hinamori, but wouldn't you tell her more then that? I would, if I could. Anyways, he was cold and harsh against her, but for this story it works well 'cos of what she did to him in the past and how she mistreats him badly just 'cos she was to be a little bitch about everything. So, I suppose I'll get some bad comments on that part--but eh, whatever. I threw Hitsugaya/Isshin moment for you, along with Karin/Ichigo brother-sister 'talk', and I have to start writing more parent/child moments--I am so horrible on that department hahaha.
Okay, I am working on different little flashbacks--so it would no longer include so many Hitsu/Karin moments from the past at all. Now, they will include Ichi/Ruki flashbacks, I'll include future Ren/Tat moments too, and I'll work hard on the Hisa/Yuzu moments too. Okay, let me see what else. Oh, the ending! ZOMG! What is going on? Um, Aizen has a son? So random. What the heck is with the 'empress' crap? So many question, so many questions I know. If the last part of this chapter threw you off, my deepest apologies seeing that I have yet to plan what to do with that. Sighs--what will happen?
+realityfling18- 'Glad that you are liking the updates and that you are sticking around. I appreciate it that you take time to review, means alot. How did you like Hinamori in this chapter? I am simply glad that you like it when I update XD.'
+happygirl24- 'OMGSH! Byakuya has such an amazing voice, it was totally hot! Well, he does share the same voice actor as Tezuka Kunimitsu from Prince of Tennis XD. And, the song was wicked. And also! BLOODY HELL, you totally guessed on my plans--that was my original plan lol, its true. I even have it written on a notebook. O_O, you totally read my mind! Awesome ., and thanks for your review. Hope that you enjoyed this chapter.'
+Tsukihime nee- 'Its really hard to keep the suspense going, but I am working my hardest on doing so. Hope that you enjoyed the wedding scene--it was really hard to write it. Thanks for the review as well!'
+ChidoriSakura112- 'Well, you got your wedding XD, how did you like it? Good? Bad? I know I could have done better, but I didn't feel like make it so 'cliche' type of thing. And, well I am glad that you love the couple 'cos I do too! They are really good together I think, so I am simply trying to spread the love for the couple! Thanks for the review.'
Well, that's all I can say for now seeing that I think I'll start writing a bloody novel with my long author's note XD it would be rather wasteful I think, and I surely will bore people ever so thoroughly with it--so we'll keep it this way. Like it? Review. Hate it? That's alright. Off to write the next chapter!
