Disclaimer: I do not own any of Bleach nor its characters. And to add, this is an AU but I hope you like the story.

An hour after the operation on Nel, Ichigo went outside the hospital, taking a break in the nearest coffee shop. Sipping on a cup of creamed cappuccino, she did not notice Ulquiorra enter the shop as well before he approached her.

"Hi, Ulquiorra." Ichigo greeted as she took another sip. Her current boyfriend greeted back and took a chair, sitting at her table. "I'm glad that we were able to save Nel." The teal-eyed doctor said, munching on a large melon bread. "Yeah. If we wouldn't, who knew what would happen to Grimmjow?" She said, thinking about the outcome if ever Nel died instead."

"So you still care about Grimmjow?" Ulquiorra asked. "Well, obviously. We used to go out and he is a childhood friend and well you know how close we were. But I don't care about him in THAT way anymore." She answered, paused then continued, "I only feel a little love for him as he was my first love but I don't believe we'll ever get back together."

"Look, I talked to Grimmjow a while ago and he doesn't blame you or anyone for what he had been through for the whole time when he thought you were really dead. He still loves you, and I know that even you won't admit it you love him more than you think you do."

"You're right." She answered and Ulquiorra was a little confused. "What?" He raised an eyebrow and the orange head lowered her head, her hands holding tightly on the coffee cup. "Even up to now, I still love him so much but either way even though he blames me or not I feel really guilty. I love him so much which is why I am letting him go, letting him live a life without me."

Ulquiorra wanted to say otherwise but understood her pain and let her drink, then they went back to the hospital without talking to each other. Grimmjow already left, heading back home to prepare things for the time when Nel can go back home.

Five days passed since the operation, and Nel was completely fine; finally able to go home with her brother. The others who were in the same train that she did were alright as well, recovered and released from the hospital. It was just that Nel suffered the most painful injuries.

Ichigo sighed out of relief, now that they could go back home to their lives and she could go her separate ways, living her life without them. This is my last visit, she thought as she entered the room where Nel was just preparing to leave, her brother helping her.

"Hi, guys." She greeted in a low voice, walking towards them. "Hello, Ichigo. It's been a long time." Nel greeted in a hoarse voice from not talking for a while. "Yeah. Well I just came here to say goodbye." The orange head replied to the green-haired girl."And I hope that you won't get into anymore major accidents. I heard that you became a lawyer. You lived up your dream." Ichigo complimented, not wanting to make the moment too simple and quick.

"You too, and one of the most famous doctors in all of Japan. I should say I envy you." Nel complimented back, her brother just listening and looking at them. Most of his looks were towards Ichigo, and his blue orbs were filled with sadness.

"Well you two have a good life and I'm happy. Wow, six years and the three of us became very successful. I am surprised. Nel, you go win some more cases, and Grimmjow, keep on using your genius computer skills and get a girlfriend who will love you till death. Until next time then." Nel was sad but did not show this and nodded. Ichigo turned to the bluenette. "Grimmjow, go have fun on your own. It was only a while, but well whatever." She bid, Grimmjow saying nothing and only giving a small nod. He was very sad as well.

"Goodbye." There would be no next time, Ichigo thought and hoped as she walked right outside the door. Wanting to take a break she notified the people upstairs about her having a break for one whole day. They allowed her and she left the hospital, thinking that she'll never see them again and that they'll live on their own, never to bump into each other again.

Opening the door of her house she yawned and took out a can of Coke, drinking it whole in one gulp. She went back up to her room and turned on the light as it was already eight in the evening. Eight o'clock, the time when the fireworks were released into the sky and when she had her first kiss with Grimmjow; as a girl of course.

She removed her coat, tossed it into the bed and took a hot shower, soaking away all her stress. When she was already relaxed enough she went back to her room and fell down on the bed, sighing out of the relief that she just felt from the bath.

Darting her eyes around, she noticed an old frame at the top of her closet that she hasn't looked at in years. It was a picture of her, Grimmjow and Nel that was taken while they were hanging out at the Flurry of Fireworks Festival.

She quickly looked away, not wanting to remember it again as it wold just make her upset, upset that their friendship did not last forever but she had to end it anyway. She buried her face in her hands, remembering the break up. Soon she went to sleep after staring at the ceiling for minutes.

Her dream took place in the river where she would always cross in the past. It was in the mid-afternoon, the sky was orange-pink and the clouds were light gray. A woman appeared in front of her, with strawberry blonde hair. Ichigo was surprised to see her. "Mom?"

Hotaru: Well the next chapter will be about Ichigo talking to the spirit of her mother in her dream. Keep reviewing because of you do, I'll give this story a sequel. If you don't there won't be one. Thanks for reading!
