Okay, and Kubo Tite just has to go and drop another 'bombshell' (edit:though perhaps not entirely unexpected...it seems to be the only way it would have worked)...the reaction at soul_society reminds me of the reaction to Saitou being married XD...except that we know what Hisana looks like, and that she's Rukia's sister...so, Byakuya and Rukia are brother and sister-in-law!! I guess all/most of the revelations are being made now...so when will Urahara be back!?! *withdrawal...*

I want that chapter...now! "patience is a virtue, patience is a virtue...screw virtue!"

NB: last part taken from a fic (Snowbound) by Genki Girl...
