In The End
I was left all alone, away from my family and friends, just staring at the grave where he now lies. Inside the dirt, away from me.
Ichi-nii told me that it just... happened. That he just got hit by that car. But I think it was my fault. After all, I told him that I could care less about what happened to him.
Ba-BOOOOM!! Dripdropdropdripdropdropdripdropdrop... Plinkplak...
I look up towards the dark grey sky. Lightning strikes and rain falls, so I grab my navy blue umbrella. I open it up quickly, still staring at the dull grave stone.
"You're really glad now, aren't you?" I ask quietly, looking at grave. "I mean, being away from me, more likely back at the Soul Society. I told you to leave, and never come back, but I was angry. I didn't want you to get killed by a car." I squat down, still holding the umbrella that was keeping me dry.
"It surprises me that you got hit by a freaking car. You fought off... 'Hollows', and you get killed by a little car," I said, my tone raising as I clench my hands. He had better hear me.
"Did I really offend you? Did you really take the things I said so seriously? I... I told you... I liked you more than a friend. You were my first love, and I t-told you I didn't care... It's my fault you left..." My hands must be bloody by now, since my fingernails are digging into the palms.
"D-damn you!" I cry out angrily into the depressing day, pounding my fists into the ground. "You didn't have to die! You shouldn't have! You left me behind! I-I didn't mean those things I said!" I yell sadly at the ground, my eyes tightly closed.
"I loved you..." I whisper in a hoarse voice. Like expected, no response. "I SAID I LOVED YOU!!" I scream. A flashback of me and him replayed in my mind, where we were on our first date. And another flashback showed me yelling at him.
The same conversation that he gave out his last words to me before he left my life forever.
"Karin-nii-chan!" a familiar voice calls out from the distance. I jerk my head up before whipping around. Yuzu-chan is running towards me, her innocent, soft face looking so... so sad.
"Yuzu..." I stand up, trembling.
"Karin-nii-chan," Yuzu-chan pants as soon as she runs up to me. She grabs my wrist lightly. "Please Karin-nii-chan, let's go." I look towards the ground.
"In a sec," I respond quietly, turning back towards the grave. I kneel down, wanting to yell at the grave. But Yuzu-chan would think I was going crazy. Maybe I was, but I'm not going to let her see it.
"Kari- One sec, I said," I reminded her, placing sakura flowers on the mound of dirt that now covered him. I look up to see Yuzu and I strain to keep a smile on my face.
"Now let's go. Ichi-nii and 'Tou-san must be goin' crazy," I inwardly mutter. Yuzu-chan nods, turning around to run towards the car. I look back at the grave and read the headstone.
Hitsugaya Toushiro
May he rest in paradise for the rest of eternity
A picture of Toushiro was on the top of the stone with this message on it. His turquoise eyes shone beautifully in the warm sun in the background, even though his eyes were half-open. His smile was a half-way smile, none of his pearls for teeth showing.
He wore a black T-shirt and his white pants, looking so normal and happy. I close my eyes, to try and keep that image in my mind forever.
"Bye... koi..." I say slowly and, strangely, in a calm voice. I open my eyes and turn around, putting the umbrella away. I wipe my face with the back of my sleeve, a smile creeping its way onto my face as I walk away.
You know people, if you really stop and think, it's actually a bit funny right now, on the most depressing day of my life;
How can my face still be wet when it stopped raining so long ago?
