Flowers. Bright yellow lilies, to be exact, placed in a glass bottle sitting upon the side of the concrete walkway.
"They're so pretty, mister!"
A gentle smile appeared on Ichigo's face, as the small 10 year-old girl gleaming happily up at him, despite she was just a ghost, stood beside the bottle of the delicate lilies.
"I'm glad you like them…"
Ichigo's face lit up with a small smile, placing his hand on top of the girl's head, as her big eyes met with his own.
He stood back up off his knees, and picked up his brown school bag, putting it over his shoulder, beginning to walk away.
The girl waved frantically with one hand, and then stepped forward a few inches, staring after him.
"Wait, mister! Will you come back tomorrow?!"
Ichigo stopped, and turned his head back toward the child, another smile appearing on his face.
"Sure.."
He then continued walking until out of sight, leaving the small girl there being happier then she'd been before.
She knew tomorrow he would come, just like yesterday and today.
