"Flying High Into the clear blue sky
Has left your wings fragile."-Unknown
Ichigo was struggling to escape from the doctors that mistook his body as dead. "I'm fine, let me go!" he complained "Sir we need you stay calm." said one of the doctors "What? I'm fine!" he complained again and started fighting harder. Finally Rukia reached in and pulled him out "I assure you that he's fine." she excused him and dragged him away. "Wait! At least let us check his breathing." another doctor cried out, but Rukia ignored him. Ichigo and Rukia had been married for 19 years. They married when Ichigo was 19. Ichigo was about 38 now yet surprisingly hadn't seemed to age very much. He looked like he was 25 at best. He got up and started walking next to her. "Thanks, I owe you one." he thanked Rukia. "You owe me five, but who's counting?" she retorted. They continued walking through town and went down to a restuaurant to get something to eat. "You need to be more careful when your using that pass." she said "That's the third time this week that I've had to pull you away from a bunch of doctors." she complained "Is it really more important for me to keep away from doctors than to kill hollows?" he shot back. "Point taken." she admitted defeat.
They left the restuaurant and saw a strange ghost-like soul wandering the streets. "What the hell is that?" asked Ichigo "I don't know, do you think its a plus soul?" she asked back "Could be." he said pulling out his substitute pass. "Use Kon for God's sake." she complained. He obeyed and swallowed the mod soul. He walked up the 'ghost' and tapped its forehead with the hilt of his zanpakuto. Nothing happened. Ichigo noticed many more of the 'ghosts' wondering around the streets. "Their not hollows or souls." Ichigo called to Rukia. Ichigo studied one closely, Rukia walked up behind him and watched. "It seems harmless, almost stupid." he commented chuckling, Rukia only rolled her eyes. Suddenly they heard someone yell "Bankai!" and a tornado came down destroying the 'ghosts'. Ichigo and Rukia turned and looked to where the voice came from "Stop, their not hollows." yelled Ichigo who suddenly froze. The zanpakuto, and the voice were both familiar. He looked at who was using Bankai. It couldn't be, but...it was. Ichigo's eyes went wide "Senna?" he said in a confused voice. "What? Senna's gone Ichigo." said Rukia in a sad voice. "But..." said Ichigo pointing at the soul reaper. Rukia's eyes widened and they both ran up to the soul reaper.
-Flash Back-
Ichigo and Rukia were training with their daughter Senna. She was becoming very strong very fast. She had been able to hold her own against both Rukia and Ichigo all at once. "Nice job Senna!" commented Ichigo after she cracked Zangetsu down the middle. Senna was 14 at the time and was just like her dad, she had a naturally strong spirit pressure and learned fast, maybe even faster. Rukia taught her to use kido while Ichigo trained her to gain bankai. "You still have a long way to go before you reach bankai though." "I know, but al that means is that I have train harder." she said cheerfully.
That was just like her, pumped up and ready for anything.
She suddenly felt a hollow. "There's a hollow coming." she warned. She was right as a large spider like hollow with bladed feet appeared. Ichigo and Rukia went after it. "Stay there Senna, we'll take care of this." said Rukia who went to attack the hollow who blocked her with one of its blades. Senna watched as her parents fought the raging hollow. Each time one of them was cut, Senna became filled with worry. When Rukia took a deep slice that left a large gash on her stomach, Senna was filled with rage. She drew her zanpakuto and activated bankai. She used the tornado to rip the spider apart. Ichigo and Rukia watched in amazement. After the hollow was killed she sheathed her zanpakuto "Way to go Senna!" yelled Ichigo in amazement. They went to take Rukia to Orihime. But that hollow wasn't finished, while it disentegrated it shot one of its blades over to Ichigo "No!" cried Senna who quickly drew her zanpakuto and jumped in front of the blade in an attempt to block it. The blade broke her Zanpakuto and pierced her stomach. "SENNA!" yelled Ichigo as the blade faded away. Senna let out pained whimpers and fell to the ground. She bled out fast and within minutes was fading away herself. "I did it.I saved you." she said as she completely faded away. Ichigo cried for the first time since his mom died, he cried along with Rukia.
Byakuya, Renji, Chad, Orihime, Hitsuguya, Uryu, Shunsui, Jushiro, and even old man Yamamoto came to Senna's funeral. They all knew her as if she were their own. Ever since then, Ichigo refused to have another child for he believed that he could never love anothr child like he did Senna.

"Senna, you're alive." said Ichigo with joy, yet he couldn't help but feel that something was different about her. "Of course I'm alive, but...How do you know me?" she asked "Don't you remember us?" asked Rukia worriedly "I'm sorry, I don't remember you." she answered. Just as he suspected, she didn't remember them.
