Ichigo's point of view.
How did it happen...? How...? HOW?! ...Why?
"I'm sorry, Ichigo..."
Don't leave me... Please don't leave me...
Lost. That's how I am. No. That's how I've been for the past ten years. It's like multiple stabs to my heart for continuous minutes. She left... The only person that was keeping me alive...
Was she ever coming back...? Who knew. I sure didn't. I did keep looking, no, feeling for her every minute, every second possible.
Ever since then, it wouldn't stop. It just wouldn't...
I saved her... I saved the world... I saved everyone... SO WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? WHAT?!
I don't care if it makes me ill, if I lose a limb or bone, if I die, if I can't speak, eat. I don't care. I need my light. I will go find her.
The light of my world. My ray of light... I need you...
I went to find you. Demanding of every single spirit to know of your whereabouts.
But when I finally found you, I now realized why you left me...
Why didn't you tell me...? WHY?!
I needed to be by your side. You needed me by your side...
You look so peaceful... So beautiful... I love you... I love you...
Just like that,
My Light vanished from this world...
Rukia's point of view.
I had to leave you... I had to...
"You don't need to leave me..."
My time was running out. My heart ached.
Found. What does that word mean to me? To me, it meant having found you, the person who taught me so much...
Why did I care about you so much? Even I can't give a concrete answer.
I left for us both. You felt the same way about me. I did not want to see your crying face when my time was up.
I ended up seeing it either way.
Ten years. So lonely... It continued inside me. I wonder if it continued in you as well.
When my time came, I shed tears. I did not want to go. I wanted to stay. No. I needed to stay. I needed you by side.
I need you by my side. I love you... I love you...
I left... But I still felt you. Next to my dead form. And you cried. But your face wasn't the only feature crying...
I saw it... Your heart... Your heart... I'll always be in your heart...
Your heart cried,
I laid in your arms,
...And the rain poured on.
*sniffs* Rukia knew she was going to die. But she didn't tell Ichigo. Ichigo did not go to find her sooner because he always believed she would come back. Now, he found her dead. So sad... I'm sorry it's very, very short. But I felt that words were not enough to describe how they felt. Don't hesitate to ask if confused. Might not reply immediately, but I will sooner or later. (Count on later.)
