Summary:Do we ever get a second chance? An option to redo what we did wrong? And if we did, would we know what to do when it was given to us? When a mistake threatens to cost Ichigo the thing he never realized was most important, how far will he go to get it back?
Gravely injured, hovering at the brink of death, Rukia remains trapped within her mind, a prisoner to her own inner demons, while Ichigo, determined to restore her, faces not only her own darkness but the fears and illusions in his own heart by journeying into her mind itself to find her and bring the pieces of her soul back together.

( Chapter 2: Gateway to Purgatory )

So... new Bleach chapter up. EPIC WIN!! Now I'm going to rant about it, so I'll cut it for those who haven't read.

( OMG is she really kicking him in the face?! )

a. Post a list of 10 fandoms.
b. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.

1. Bleach: Kuchiki Rukia - My favourite character of all time, I simply love how complex her character is, as well as the way she interacts with everyone around her, especially Ichigo - precto
2. Naruto: Hyuuga Hinata - A shy-type character, not the sort that I usually enjoy, but there's something I find very admirable about the way that Hinata keeps striving to change herself. - precto
3. Fate/Stay Night
4. Gundam SEED: Lacus Clyne - Lacus is a neat character in and of herself because she has a tendancy to seem very simple on the outside, almost flaky at times, but that appearance conceals what is in actuality a very smart person. - precto
5. Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne
6. Sailormoon: Tomoe Hotaru - Hotaru is such a tragic character in a lot of ways, and I always identified a great deal with the way she is misunderstood and caught up in circumstances that she can't control. - precto
7. Full Moon o Sagashite
8. Vampire Knight
9. Air Gear
10. Fantastic Children

I love this meme, it's so much fun.

So I find it interesting the take that humans generally have on spirituality, the occult, rituals, paranormal things, etc. I have to give humankind credit, they have a lot of it right in a lot of ways. But some things... they just don't seem to get. I guess it's got to do with what you've seen, what you've experienced. What you understand. Humans naturally fear that which they don't understand, it's a simple defense mechanism. It's the same way I was ostracized and treated as a child because I wasn't like other normal human children. I guess it's things like that that make one turn TOWARDS that which makes them different.

Sure, there are things all around us, all the time. It's only a matter of being able to perceive them and recognize them for what they are. And in a way, the idea of staying away from rituals and other such things is probably good. Not because those things in and of themselves are evil or bad, but because they're just like any other spell that you might cast. There is far more to them than just the words and the motions. You have to understand the workings of any ritual or spell before you meddle with it. That's how people get into trouble, honestly. It's like picking up a gun and hopping into the middle of a war without ever going through any sort of training. Sure, you've got the weapon, and you probably know how to work it. But that won't do you a lot of good if you don't know all the OTHER stuff to do.

Oh, but stay away from Ouija boards. Those are bad. It's kind of neat though, to be actually getting a chance to talk to people about this sort of thing. I'm not really a recluse about it, and if someone confronts me with it I don't deny my abilities. But neither is it something that I publicize. Either way, it's just... nice.

Those who are keeping up with the series will notice that their letters are slowly starting to have more actual content and less bickering as they start to realize that they actually do miss getting to talk to each other and spend time together.
