I Remember

by Frozen-Void

Hitsugaya remembers the day he died.

I Remember

I remember a time when I was alive.

I remember my father and mother.

But I can't remember their faces.

I remember the colors red and white.

I remember it was cold.

So cold.

I remember the red staining the white.

I remember looking at my hand and seeing red.

Then I didn't know what the red and white were.

But now I do.

Red was blood, my blood, the blood my father stained his hands with.

I remember that it wasn't only my blood, but my mothers, too.

I remember hearing her body hit the floor.

And watching the red pour onto the floor.

I remember running outside.

Into the cold.

Into the snow.

I always loved snow.

I remember not getting far.

I remember getting pulled.

I remember a sharp pain in my stomach.

And then I fell back to the ground.

I remember watching my father fall to the ground.

I remember he wasn't breathing.

I remember getting up, clutching my stomach.

And walking.

Just walking.

I remember laying down.

On the snow.

I remember the sound the wind made.

I remember closing my eyes, allowing the wind to lull me to sleep.

But I don't remember,

Waking up.

My name, is Hitsugaya Toshiro.

I'm the captain of Squad Ten.

I'm the only one who remembers how I died.

And every time the snow falls in the world of the living.

I visit my grave.

Remembering the day I parted from this world.

The day I left my old life behind and started a new one.

I'm Hitsugaya Toshiro.

The boy who died in the snow.
