The force of the blow stunned me...
I was falling...
Falling...
Falling...
Falling through time and space...
The nothingness enveloped my body as I fell...
Down...
Down...
Through all eternity I fell...
Getting further and further away from him...
Further...
Further...
It was getting colder...
The more distance there was the colder it got...
Colder...
Colder...
The ground was rushing up to meet me...
It was getting closer with the passing seconds...
Closer...
Closer...
I braced myself for the impact...
Forcing my eyes shut as I waited...
Waited...
Waited...
I realised I had stopped falling...
I opened my eyes slowly hoping he was there...
Slowly...
Slowly...
I was safe in his arms...
The love in his eyes was melting the pain away...
Melting...
Melting...
The battle was over...
He lowered me gently to the ground...
Gently...
Gently...
A member of squad four attended to us...
His hand in mine was soothing...
Soothing...
Soothing...
Nothing could keep us apart...
As time passed our bond grew stronger...
Stronger...
Stronger...
I will never forget that day...
The day when I realised that I loved Shunui Kyoraku...
