Chapter 1: It All Ends Here
"I'm done, it's over... I can't keep doing this..."
Rukia...
"So you're just gonna run away!? Just like that huh!?" He yelled.
"I'm not running away!" She retorted with the same angry tone as his.
"Then tell me what's wrong and we'll fix—"
"Fix!? We can't fix it Ichigo! 'Cause you know what the problem is? It's us! We're the problem!"
Rukia...
He forcefully grabbed her hand and she struggled to pull it back, "Let go of me!" She ended up slapping his face causing him to let go. She rubbed her now free arm.
"You know, I kept telling myself I want to stay, but you keep giving me reasons not to... I'm tired of ignoring all these things... I'm sorry Ichigo."
And just like that, she's gone.
Rukia...
He slowly fluttered his eyes. Once his view cleared up he realized that he was in a hospital room. The he began to hear voices...
"He's awake!"
"Oh thank God!"
"But how do we tell him?"
"We don't!"
"But he deserves to know!"
"He's been knocked out for three days do you think it's a good idea to—"
"Sshh! Shut up!"
"Ichigo... Hey, how are you feeling?" A young woman asked standing beside him on the bed.
"Rukia?" He asked in his hoarse voice.
"N-no, it's Tatsuki," She said correcting him.
"Where's... Rukia?" He asked barely a whisper but the silence made it echo throughout the room.
"Oh my god, I can't do it, you guys tell him." She said trying so hard to keep her voice from cracking. She turned to the others feeling the tears well-up in her eyes. Ichigo carefully sat up and watched his friends argue and pin point at each other but soon someone finally found the courage to speak for everyone.
"Ichigo... There's something you need to know..."
"Wait Keigo—" Tatsuki tried to stop him but he went on.
"Rukia... She's gone..." He said looking down.
She's gone... yes... she left him. He knew that but... Ichigo's thoughts were cut off when Keigo handed him a newspaper. Puzzled, he took it and read the article, something about a plane crash and confirming that everyone on board died. His hands began to tremble.
"Are you telling me that she... got on this plane...?"
"We're so sorry Ichi—"
"BULLSHIT!" He yelled throwing down the newspaper. "IS THIS SOME KIND OF FUCKING SICK PRANK YOU'RE TRYING TO PULL ON ME!? IT'S NOT FUNNY KEIGO!" He gripped Keigo by the collar and the others tried to calm him down.
"I... B-but it's true..." Keigo tried to reason. He didn't try to break free either, he just looked away. He knew how hard this would be for his friend.
"Ichigo! Let go of him! It's true, Rukia's gone." Tatsuki yelped trying to push down her friend.
"No! She can't be gone! We talked yesterday! We had a fight and... ah..." He rubbed his bandaged forehead when he felt a pang of pain in his head.
"Ichigo, you were out for three days... the plane crash was two days ago..." Tatsuki explained.
"No... no... no... NO! You're lying!" He kept saying more to himself than to her then he began to remove the hospital equipment stuck on his body.
Rukia...
You can't be gone... no...
I don't know what I'd do without you...
"Ichigo! Are you crazy!?" His friends began to restrain him.
"Let go of me! I need to see Rukia!"
"But you're not in the state to... ah! Chad! Help!" Tatsuki called out then a big man came in the room to help hold down the patient. "Mizuiro, call the doctor!" The small young man nodded quickly running out of the room while Tatsuki, Chad and Keigo try to control their raging friend. Soon nurses and a doctor came inside the room. Everyone was holding down Ichigo as one of the nurses gave him a shot on the arm. Ichigo cursed when he felt the needle pierce his skin and his vision began to blur. Soon enough, he was unconscious once again.
When he woke up, he was alone. He glanced at the side table where he saw the newspaper Keigo gave him a while ago. He stared at the plane crash article but ended up shoving it away from the table. He lied down with his hands covering his eyes. He can't help but feel the tears well up in his chocolate colored orbs.
Why Rukia...?
Why couldn't it just be me...?
I kept telling myself I want to stay, but you keep giving me reasons not to...
Just one more chance...
I'm tired of ignoring all these things...
To see her...
Hold her...
Hear her voice...
I'm sorry Ichigo...
Please... Just one more... I'd do anything... so that I could tell her...
"Is that really your wish?" Ichigo turned to look at the mysterious pale blonde man who suddenly spoke. "Who are—"
"You didn't answer my question," The man pointed out putting back the newspaper to its original place. Ichigo observed the man's appearance. He was wearing a green janitor's outfit.
A janitor? Ichigo figured.
But what the hell could this person want?
The mysterious man smiled. "Close your eyes," he said and for some reason, Ichigo found himself complying with the said command.
After a few moments he opened his eyes again. Did he fall asleep? It felt like that, like he just woke up from a very long slumber. But when he sat up, he wasn't in the hospital room anymore but back in his old room—the room he had when he was a teenager. Confused, he stood up. His wounds were gone, same as the bandages and bruises. He ran towards the mirror to observe himself. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at his fifteen-year-old self.
All he could say was, "What the fuck?"
