Missing Link

Disclaimer: Tite Kubo. I don't own BLEACH.

Summary: This is not a mere romantic story. This is just about a little slice of each other's understanding during the beginning and the end of everything – and I found the heart.

Author note: This is my first English fanfic, so please be kind (suggestion, critic, are welcome. I don't accept flame). I love Ulquihime. Maybe the 'HEART' theme happens to be so mainstream about this pairing, but I love the idea about 'HEART' itself. So please enjoy


What is the true, absolute definition of something everyone calls 'heart'?

.

.

Wondering about something I never thought before, the pure weakness that builds, and rules the entire world. Attraction between night and day, dream and reality, now I feel hole – somewhere inside me – is dying through the understanding. Is it my strength, or where my flaw lies?

.

.

She still believes and be hopeful through the madness of the battlefield. She greeted me with smile and a flicker of anxiety in her eyes. She scolded me as she wiped her own rolling-down tears on her cheeks. I couldn't help but stood, with no expression.

.

.

Oh such a life, how much she has taught me through any ways, without got much attention of mine.

.

.

This is not a drama, yet not a mere romantic story. This is just about a little slice of each other's understanding during the beginning and the end of everything. But why does it happen to be so true?

.

.

She said that it was because of the heart.

.

.

"The world, the universe, everything is full of differences. But, everyone belongs to each other because heart exists within everyone," she said.

.

.

I hung my head in disbelief.

.

.

Battle is the only one thing that burns me with excitement. Battle with logic, obeying whatever Aizen-sama says because there's a part in my dream that encourages me to always fighting. In fighting we don't need heart at all, because the only one we need is insanity. And it was born when we were born. Together.

.

.

But I understand.

.

.

As I vanish into ashes, I look at her; still with no expression.

.

.

As I vanish into ashes, our fingers try to reaching each other.

.

.

As I vanish into ashes, my fingers are no longer reachable, but I can feel

.

.

As I vanish into ashes, I find the heart.

.

.

As I vanish into ashes, I take my heart away with me.

.

.

As I vanish into ashes, there's no missing path anymore.

.

.

.

.

Author note 2: Yeah, I've tried to keep Ulquiorra in-chara but it seems that I'm heartbreakingly failed T_T Ulquiorra's characteristic is quite difficult to write! But… I've tried.

Review, please?
