Thanks for updating! Bankai time!

Hope everything is ok and we can get the continuation when you settled everything. Was interesting to see Rukia learn Bankai so early. Also I could be wrong, but Muramasa, while hereditary, can't be wielded by someone with a zanpakuto already. I'm not trying to nitpick, just making a statement. Awesome chapter and can't wait for the next one.

I wish best of luck with your personal matters.

Also, interesting to see the changes that emerged from the difference of Hisana surviving here. stronger, more insightful rukia, for example

What’s with everyone calling him Kurosaki, even Rukia and Chad?

Love your fic! Thank you so much for your words and effort! The plot is so fun to read and I’m absolutely in love with the characters!

Thanks for updating! They going to go save orihime

This...is a rather good start. It reminds me a bit of the relationship between Tokio and Saitou in The Courtship of Lady Tokio. The characters are perfectly in character without removing the husband-wife relationship fitting of the time, and indicated by what few interactions we know between Hisana and Byakuya.

I'm gonna bust a gut if this night time fun ends up with a third baby, Hisana went through enough already lol. Awesome chapter, can't wait to see this keep going, I hope you reach the end of the series here as well.

Thanks for updating! Haha great chapter before the storm

I don't know if it's just me, but nothing shows up in this chapter. And I checked the reviews and apperently some others are able to read SOMETHING that's there, but for me there's just the line: "Approximately 24 years later..." and nothing else.

well... Byakuya really got lucky with his wife...
and it was hilarious to see his reaction to Ranji as potential rival for a Kuchuki woman...

Rukia still misses the hints of Ranji's interest...

and its always nice to see Ichigo appear in this fic.

Yay, we're finally here! The backstory was so good and I loved the ending. Looking forward to more chapters!

Thank you so much for sharing this version of the Hisana and Byakuya backstory. It is a real pleasure to read.
And can I just say how much I love your writing? It is really amazing!

Well, if I wasn't tear up before this portion started, I am now. Its so beautiful to see how these two endured so much to finally get to their happy ending. This makes me wish Hisana was still alive and Kubo kept her around so we could see all of this, but alas, it'll be a dream. In any case, this was a great chapter and now we get back to the present. Can't wait to see what you got planned.

Thank you so much for writing this story! Words cannot explain how grateful I am that you came back to update it and spinning this beautiful tale further. I came back over the years to re-read bits and pieces because I really love your writing, there’s just something special about it. This, and all your other work here are amazing, they are on an other level!
Thank you for writing and sharing them! You rock!
