actually, I didn't think about a "time-setting" as I wrote it and it really doesn't matter. But if you want to sort it somewhere into the series, tne you might-as-well see it as a spoiler. It happens plain simply before the Winter War.
Chad was dissappointed cause Ichigo didn't tell him. But he understood why he didn't tell him and accepted it. I would be dissappointed (at least a bit) if my best friend wouldn't tell me something like this, no matter waht the reason. But if there would be a good reason, I would understand it. But I would be dissappointed nontheless.
I agree completely. There are really few ffics with Keigo. That should change.
Thanks for the comment! *huggles*
