Author Note: This came to m e after listening to Avenged Sevenfold Afterlife. I wasn't sure who to put in, so I chose Fem!Ichi. I haven't seen many Fem!Ichi and Renji parings, I see that mostly with Byakuya.

Afterlife
This was wrong. Everything here... it just wasn't right. He knew it, but yet he didn't wish to leave. Pale figures brush back orange locks, and she smiled. She never smiled. She was always scowling or frowning.
"Please Renji stay with me." She whispered brushing her lips against his.
He wished this was real. He really did. He didn't want to live with the memory of her body sailing through the wind shield, shards of glass embed into her flesh. He didn't want to see blood staining the ground and her.
"I don't belong here." He whispered. There it was, her frown.
"Why?"
It was his turn to frown. "Because Ichi... this is afterlife."
The woman before him scowled. "Ren I want you to stay!"
Renji sighed softly. "I wish I could... but Ichi... you died. I saw it."
The orange haired woman sighed softly, a smile gracing her usually frowning lips. "Renji, are you sure?"
"I am. I'm sorry, but.. you're my past Ichi... and it doesn't matter that I wish you were my future." He whispered hugging her to him one last time.
"I'll wait for you." She mumbled into his chest.
"Thank you." With his whispered words, Ichigo faded from his sight in a flash of white. He woke moments latter in a hospital bed, Rukia's tear fulled blue eyes the first thing that greeted him. He just wished they were Ichigo's amber...
I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife. Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here. Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you, this place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might take me back inside when the time is right.
