Chapter eight, at long last! Sorry for taking so long and thanks for reading, reviewing, following and stuff. Enjoy!
Mira's POV:
"Where am I? And what happened?" I ask, terrified of this unknown place.
"You are at my shop, Mira." Kisuke replies.
"Who the hell are you?" I shriek in fear.
"Oh my, this is serious." Kisuke says just before the others enter.
"Mira." Ichigo says as he sits down next to me.
"You know me?" I ask him, which earns me a confused look from Ichigo.
"Of course I know you, I gave you that ring." Ichigo says as he points towards my necklace.
"I think I'd remember something like that." I snap at him.
"Maybe I should check up on her." Inoue suggests as I look at her strangely.
"Yume!" I shout as I remember what she said.
"Interesting." Kisuke says.
"What do you mean?" All of us ask at once.
"Yume is supposed to be MIA, running for the Soul Society." Kisuke says.
"But she saved me years ago." I say.
"Maybe she passed her powers to Mira-chan here, that still doesn't explain her memory loss though." Kisuke states.
"Looks like her memories are being suppressed." Inoue says.
"That means that she was nearly dead before she came here." Kisuke then suggests.
"She did say that she'd save me again." I reply to Kisuke.
"I thought Yume was one of the Vizards." Rukia says.
"No, but she was close to catch that Aizen guy." I say, which earns me some confused stares.
"She was indeed on our side, although she was also considered an outcast." Kisuke says.
"By the way, I'd like to know the names of all of you." I smile apologetically.
"I'm Orihime Inoue." Inoue says.
"Ishida Uryuu." Ishida says.
"I'm Chad." Chad introduces himself.
"Kuchiki Rukia." Rukia follows.
"Abarai Renji." Renji informs me.
You seem familiar to me. Why can't I remember your name? Why do I feel so weird when you are so close to me?
"Sorry, could you tell me your name again? I kinda dozed off." I say as I look at him.
"Kurosaki Ichigo, I'm a substitute shinigami." Ichigo informs me.
I want to remember all of these people, all of my bonds and even all of my feelings towards them. Please let me be able to keep living with my memories.
I silently pray, hoping that Yume will understand.
"It seems your reiatsu is still intact." Uryuu informs me.
"Are you sure?" I hear Yume's voice ask me.
More than ever. I always hated to forget people.
"Fine, I'll give myself up for you. I'll always love you, my dear…." Yume's voice dies soon after, leaving me with loads of questions.
"Can someone give up their life for someone else?" I ask suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Kisuke asks me.
"Never mind." I reply before I stand up and head outside.
"Strange." They all say, although Ichigo has followed me.
"Do you remember now?" Ichigo asks me.
"I remember everything now, everything except how I got here." I smile at Ichigo.
