It was a very pleasant evening. The sun was sinking spreading orange light all over. Mild breeze blew over the trees. Small children could be seen leaving the park with their parents – hopping and jumping. Everyone was so happy. Everything was just so good. Only a girl sat on the farthest bench of the park. Rukia Kuchiki. She sat there watching the small children leave the park, their faces full of happiness.
Sadness gripped her. Ichigo…..
Soul society would be all draped in celebrations. Now there was no threat on soul society. Everything happened so quickly. She had tried to save Ichigo from soul society by surrendering herself. But his indefatigable efforts, he had entered Soul society and tried to save her and he succeeded. Before heading for the inevitable he had come to meet her. Their last talk still rang in her mind.
He had said, "Don't worry. They won't kill you. You are safe." "But what about you?" she had asked. "It was a deal, but still I won't leave you. I will come back. I promise Rukia." And with thathe was gone.
She had been banished from Soul society and here she was back in the human world. She was here safe and sound but he never came back. He broke the promise…..
Orihime,Chad and others had escaped from the Soul society unharmed with the help of Kisuke Urahara. They all had tried to explain her but she could not believe it. They had said that that a big explosion had taken place and a whole building had come down on Ichigo. But it was reported that his body was never found.
It had almost become dark now. Hot tears started to trickle down her eyes. Now the world seems to be nothing to her without him. She admitted she didn't him very much but slowly she started to like him, but never confessed it. But now nothing could be done. He would not return.
The park had almost emptied now. She was the only one left. She said out loud, crying "Ichigo I loved you so much. You promised you would return."
She heard a ruffling of leaves. Clouds had gathered. A voice spoke, "I love you too, Rukia." Rukia first thought she might be hearing things. But the voice was the one she knew perfectly. It just can't be a dream.
It came from behind her. Rukia stood up and turned. Without thinking she just ran and hugged that person, her certain orange haired guy - Ichigo
