Death: First Part

Ichigo watched the scene unfolding before him, his eyes dazed. He could see people running everywhere, chaos surrounded him, but he couldn't move.

He could only watch.

He couldn't even remember how he got to be there.

All he could recall was a blinding light, enveloped by darkness.

He watched paramedics carry a covered body on a long stretcher.

It was his.

Unable to cry, he turned and headed towards the flickering light of Kakura Town.

He found himself standing outside a familiar building.

He looked up and froze. Tatsuki was sitting on a small balcony outside her room. She was crying, clutching a picture frame to her chest.

Ichigo felt his thoughts begin to clear as he watched her.

He wanted to go to her and hold her in his arms. He approached the balcony, staring. Tatsuki looked up and saw him there. Her eyes filled with shock and joy. They were the most beautiful things Ichigo had ever seen.

They filled him with fear and sorrow.

He turned and faded into nothingness as the darkness enveloped him.

A/N: Sorry if this is bad, I just edited though. My friend gave me some tips but I don't think I used them very well. I'd love if you could tell me what you think! This is a two-part story, so yeah. I guess it could almost be a Tatsuki X Ichigo thing, but that's only for a second. Anyways, all the characters belong to Tite Kibo! ENJOY!!
