Forgotten? Or Forever?

by Seien Iro

This is a very short story of how Rukia may have felt over the time she spent away from Ichigo. Also I did it very Bleach style so you don't know if they are just friends or something more. This is a spoiler for chapter 420 read at ones own risk.

I do not own Bleach if I did you would not be reading it on .

By the way this is my first fan fiction it is really short but I like it. Reviews are highly appreciated, even if it's all about how you hated it, you still took the time to write it. :)

My name is Rukia Kuchiki. I am a soul reaper, sister of a great captain, mourner of a close lieutenant, and a forgotten friend of Ichigo Kurosaki.

Renji fills the void he has always been close, I still feel like there is something wrong. I was happy at first when I thought this would undo some of the damage I had caused, but he started to move backwards rebuilding the walls we all worked so hard to make transparent so at least we could see through them.

He fakes it. Putting on a smile for his family and friends, when his considerate enough to do it. I cant let him slip I wont. I see these people with him telling him they can get his powers back. Ichigo why cant you be happy as a human they are not leaving you behind, you're the one running in the opposite direction!

Just this once, one more time I will yell your name. Scream for you to stop. Admit that I must save you because I could not save him. Tears that you will not see will run free, and I will turn back and accept to the defeat.

"Ichigo! Please live! Just live a happy life! God Damnit! Why don't you ever make the right decision! ICHIGO YOU ITIOT! If not for you then for your family, your friends, your teachers, and Ichigo for me. Please just forget!"

I was to ashamed of my tears to open my eyes to see that he was in front of me hand against my cheek. "Rukia? Is that you or am I talking to the wind? I wont forget do hear me you're not someone that I could lose. I must protect the people I care for and I must thank you if you are here. Then you wait and see. I'll be the one who you saved. Thanks midget."

"Great way to ruin the mode jackass." Leave it to Ichigo to make every thing seem alright with a few well spoken words." I move his hand off my face. He looks at it shocked but then it settles into a rare smile, one of calmness and perseverance. I open the gate to the Soul Society. As the doors close I say words that even I don't fully know if it was encouragement or doubt. "We'll see Ichigo, we'll see."
