The Eternal Rain: pilot
A/U Hey people, this is my first fanfic, like, ever, so I'm still getting the hang of things. My story is about Rukia remembering her sister, Hisana, and how Ichigo remembers his mother, who was killed by a hollow, and how they help each other through the pain, and become very close because of that.
As I said, I'm new and I'm sorry for mistakes that occur because of that fact. Oh and by the way this is an ichiruki. They may sound really cheap and tight fisted with their money. That, I am afraid is a reflection of my own personality. It's just how I/they are and are going to be
Basically, the story is set at the time of rest between the bount filler thingie (I think it's a filler at least) and the giant Aizen fight part two, in Hueco Mundo. Ichiruki is the main pairing, with some others in the background, matsutoshi a bit (I think it's called, see told u I'm new), and Uryuu and Yoshino (the bount, in my story, she isn't dead). So… enjoy!
Chapter 1: Commiserations
Rukia's P.O.V
The new cherry blossoms fell as I stood before the memorial in front of me. I could feel myself tearing up. I knew the others were watching, but I didn't care. I let all the tears stream down my face and that strange liquid that comes from your nose that isn't quite snot and not quite water
'Why am I even thinking about this right now' I wondered to myself 'I'm standing in front of Hisana's memorial and I'm thinking about snot! Focus Rukia!'
"Hey, you okay Rukia?" Ichigo! When had he arrived?
"y-yeah" I said, my voice breaking up and then I burst into a fresh flow of tears. As I cried, I felt Ichigo put a comforting hand on my shoulder
"I know how you feel, I have felt the same pain inside of someone in my family dying and I know it's hard to get over, but we're in this together." I looked up to see him gazing at the grave where his mother's remains were buried with that same perma-scowl on his face. Maybe it was my imagination but he looked as if he was about to burst into tears himself but as soon as it appeared, it vanished.
The eternal rain, falling on our hearts, on this same day. Each year it is the same, but somehow we find ways to keep living.
I turned around to find that everyone else who was present a few minutes ago had disappeared
"We've been here for half an hour and it looks like it's gonna rain, come on, midget"
"Half a… wait, who are you calling a midget" *KRACK*
"owww" Ichigo moaned from the ground before getting up and following the petite girl back down the hill.
So folks, wadda ya think? I know it's painstakingly short but I need to know whether it's worth continuing, as soon as I get 10 reviews, I'll continue, and I promise you, it gets much better…
He he he he he he…
