*DISCLAIMER* - I do not own Bleach or any of its characters. From Rukia's POV
So I wrote this before I read Kubo's reason for why he ended bleach the way he did. It was because of a letter. Now if you don't know look it up. Though I was not a big fan of the ending for multiple reasons ( Hence why all I've written and this piece currently has to do with the end * Side note no I'm not over it* ) not just with the relationship parings but overall character development for ALL characters. If that was the way he wanted to end it, OKAY. I'm not saying that it makes me love the ending or anything but it gives more closure on the ending since it is coming from him. I would prefer more answers from him than nothing at all. Does it make me agree on how he ended it, no and it doesn't have to. The letter is extremely sad so I'm glad he did what he did in honor of the writer of that letter. But that doesn't mean that this relationship between Ichigo and Rukia has less meaning. I think something to take out of their relationship is that NO ONE can come between them. I doubt Orihime or Renji can because their bond is unbreakable and is the strongest bond you see on the manga/show. Ichigo and Rukia are truly something more than just friends and no matter what people say they are the core and heart of this manga/show. Just my thoughts haha. Thought I should get it out. Anyways I hope you enjoy it.
Our relationship,
You say I changed your world, but truly it was the other way around
Never have I met anyone who is like you
Your scowl
Your voice
Your eyes
Your heart
The fact that you're incredibly stubborn and loud
But your kindness shines brighter than anyone I've known.
We never ended the way I thought we would
What was I to you? Merely a friend?
...
No
The looks we gave one another
The way you and I chased the darkness from each other's hearts
The fact that time could never break our bond
No
It meant more
We meant more
More than this
We deserved better
But I will always be there for you
And one day our end will happen
We just have to be patient
Till then my love, wait for me
And I will do the same for you
Always.
