In Memory of Maskai Kurosaki

By lilaznbabe

"Wow mom is amazing!" Yuzu was astound by the video and probably enthused. The rest of the children were having their compliments and questions but for once Isshin was silent. His eyes were locked onto the screen and all his countenance could only express was a smile. Yukita took notice right away. She placed a hand on her old companion's shoulder in order to comfort his hidden sorrow. "She always had the most beautiful smile." "She truly was an inspirational woman." Finally Isshin regains his composure and joins back in with the group.

"Do you have any other videos of our mom?" Karin asked. "Actually there is another video I would like to show you all, mostly you though, Ichigo." "Hm?" Ichigo had a puzzled expression.

Yukita placed a different tape in the VCR. "A few months after you were born Ichigo your mother came back into the studio and wanted to create one last album. There was a song she wrote mainly for you." Mr. Sullivan explained. "For me?" "Uh-huh Masaki use to encounter many difficult obstacles in her life, I don't know how she does it sometimes but you would never guess she would have any sort of hardship because she was always shining with that beam." Mr. Sullivan reminisced. "I would ask her Misaki why are you always cheery and she would say 'well Ryan this baby here I have in my arms; every time my problems seem so big just looking at him makes it all seem so small." Ichigo didn't know how but he held back the tears. He placed his head down because his guilt was piercing through his heart and he couldn't control his shaking. Rukia took notice and started to take his hand in order to comfort him. Finally the video stated to play and the first thing they saw was Masaki making an introduction.

"Hey all Masaki here," Giving her eminent smile. "I wanted to dedicate this song to my baby boy Ichigo." "Honey, I know you are but a little bundle of joy right now but as you get older you will face a lot of hardship and its gonna kick your ass hard." Misaki joked. Ichigo gave a slight grin. "But I want you to always remember that from any big struggle you go through, as long as you have faith and love those problems will all seem so small. I love you baby." She blew a kiss to the camera and the video transitioned her into the studio singing.


"Yeah, Yeah

What you got if you ain't got love

the kind that you just want to give away

its okay to open up

go ahead and let the light shine through

I know it's hard on a rainy day

you want to shut the world out and just be left alone

but don't run out on your faith

'cause sometimes that mountain you've been climbing

is just a grain of sand

and what you've been up there searching for forever

is in your hands

when you figure out love is all that matters after all

it sure makes everything else seem so small

it's so easy to get lost inside

a problem that seems so big at the time

it's like a river thats so wide

it swallows you whole

while you siting 'round thinking 'bout what you can't change

and worrying about all the wrong things

time's flying by

moving so fast

you better make it count 'cause you can't get it back

Ichigo was looking down in disappointment, it was like his mom was giving him a wakeup call. It was impossible for him to hold back his tears even with his sisters and father there, he didn't care.

sometimes that mountain you've been climbing

is just a grain of sand

and what you've been up there searching for forever

is in your hands

oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all

it sure makes everything else seem so small

sometimes that mountain you've been climbing

is just a grain of sand

Suddenly Ichigo felt multiple embraces two from his sisters, Rukia smile on her face as she joined in the hug and Isshin was rubbing his sons back to comfort him.

and what you've been up there searching for forever

is in your hands

oh when you figure out love is all that matters after all

it sure makes everything else...

oh it sure makes everything else seem so small

Yeah, Yeah"


At the end of the song, the video paused on Misaki's face. The room was silent as the family embraced each other and honored Misaki for she was not just a musician, not just a mother but an inspiration for friends and family. Thanks mom Ichigo's last thought.
