    I absolutely love your stories. You bring OC to life so well. THough i was disappointed that Byakuya would not have a full story all his own I am pleased that you are continuing in this particular universe. This story is starting off to a wonderful start but i should have known coming from you.

    Ooooh, the plot thickens! I want to know what happened to him!

    By the way, the tentative Soi Fong/Nemu friendship is too cute!

    The character development is coming along nice and there are some big questions raised in this chapter. You've set it up very well to keep the characters (and readers) interested and intrigued to see what comes next (and what happened in the past).

    I also loved the training with Tatsuki. It's clear that both Ichigo and Tatsuki know him on a more personal level than originally thought. Though it wasn't hinted at at first, it seems that several members at the party knew him when he showed up and probably are also interested in why Soi Fon went with him.

    I am eagerly looking forward to the upcoming chapters, you've got another great character here and I can't wait to see what you do with him.

    Also, I am pretty sure it's "Soi Fon". I have seen her name as "Soi Fong" in several places but every "official" place it's listed as Soi Fon. Not sure if that is the English Translators mistake or what. It might not even be important...

    Even with the lack of the core characters in this universe, I am really enjoying this story. You write your characters in such a way that even people who were just in the background in the first two stories are interesting enough and fleshed out enough to hold the readers attention, especially when you devote more time to them and flesh out their story even more.

    I am liking this new character and his disability seems to explain a lot (we know why he stared at Kuu). I can't wait for the next chapter, gotta see if Soi finds anything. I'm also pretty sure, even if she used the sealing cloak, that he knew she was following him.

    If he is in Ichigo's division, I wonder why Tatsuki didn't recognize him? Perhaps she doesn't deal that much with the inner workings of the division, letting all that up to Ichigo. Ichigo will probably know him, can't wait for the inevitable Ichigo/Soi/Gwydion conversation.

    Poor Gwydion... but on the bright side, he could probably arm-wrestle Kuukaku! Hee-hee! Hope y-all's can update again soon.

    Haha, wouldn't you know it - I should be studying when I happen upon this chapter!

    Confused/nervous Soi Fong is quite fun to read, albeit a bit surreal. However, we all know a lot of her toughness is simply a facade, so I guess it works! I apologize for the disjointedness of my thoughts - it's late and I've been studying.

    What really interests me about this story as opposed to your others is the basis of a relationship that you have to lay down here. Ichigo and Tatsuki and Kin and Kaien already had a long history and a long connection - Soi Fong and Gwydion have no such thing. It will truly be fun to see this relationship blossom from the very beginning.

    I've thought of a way to perform iaijutsu one-handed. Try it now. Put one forearm behind your head, and twist it so that your palm is facing the same direction as your face. Now, adopt a wide, narrow stance and bend your upper body forward, as close to parallel with the ground as possible. You can now perform a variant of the traditional Rurouni Kenshin battojutsu more or less with ease, striking several targets in front of yourself in a wide arc. After all, your sword is nowhere near as long as Ichigo's, which even *he* can't draw. (His "sheath" comes apart) Furthermore, it's just as much a part of your soul body as your soul hands and feet, and feels light as a feather to you.

    Besides, Link can do it!

    ...Oh, right, review. Good chapter, especially with fleshing out Gwydion's personality. I missed the hints about his disability that I have since gone back and noticed, but I won't say it shocked me. I question what a tall, blonde, busty woman is doing in the middle of Japan, but hey, stranger things have happened, and this *is* the Bleachiverse. I rather missed Jushiro's refered-to appearance. (Hey, I love that guy!)

    Anyway, good worldbuilding chapter, and good luck with the work to come.

    So, time for a new story for one of the more-neglected (?) characters. I really liked the way this started, largely because I liked how it mixed new stuff and perspective into the little bit at the end of A New Window. I'm definitely looking forward to finding out more about this new guy, and how he fits into everything (or will fit himself into things?).

    A few questions, though. One that occurred to me a while ago, and the other just now. The first is, what do the ranks look like in Soul Society nowadays? We know Renji is a captain, and I think it was mentioned that Byakuya is currently without a lieutenant, but what about everyone else? Did they fill the other captain positions, and if so, with whom? Now, of course, I figure this may be worked into the new story, but I'm curious.

    The other isn't quite so relevant...What kind of eyepatch does Gwydion have? Since, for some reason, whenever I try to picture him, I see him with a big one more like Nnoitra's. Weird question maybe, but it's been bugging me for some reason.

    Looking forward to the next chapter!

    Yay! New story! Iaijutsu would be kind of difficult if you're drawing from the shoulder, maybe impossible. Plus, I'm pretty sure the off-hand is used to hold the sheath in place because otherwise you'd be bludgeoning somebody instead of cutting them in half.

    'S not goofy. 'S Welsh. Old enchanter's name. Used by Lloyd Alexander in his famous Prydain Cycle to refer to...
    ...Wait a minute, the Welsh language *is* pretty goofy. Sorry. Didn't think that through when I wrote it.

    Anyway, decent chapter. I particularly enjoyed reading one of your trademark descriptions, only to find an MP3 player in it at the end. I laughed long and loud, though my whimsical mind seems to enjoy things that seem very odd later on. Still, given recent events, I find it ironic that, just as we all (myself included) get done mocking her useless lieutenant, he proves to be a total badass. That's life... and Kubo. (Likes helping out supporting characters readers don't. Wikipedia.)

    Good luck, and may writer's block avoid your mind like a plague rat should avoid a cat.

    I read this last night at about 1am after having juts got home from work. I was just too damn tired to review it though.

    As usual with your writing it is top notch and full of detail. This new character, despite having a goofy name is very intriguing and I can't wait to see more of his past.

    Short review this time, but I eagerly await more!

    your stories are great! and the fact that you are not afraid to put in as much detail in them as you can is what makes you one of the best of the best!

    You know, you posted this at just the right time! I have a crazy amount of work to do and this opening chapter was a nice way to wind down. I'm really interested in seeing how this goes! You've already done a great job getting into Soi Fong's head, so it'll be fun to see her fall in love.

    By the way, I forgot for a second that the male character is an OC, and when I read the description I was like "WHAT? WONDERWICE?" Haha. Just because of the eyes though.
