I present to you the final part of Snow…. That is right folks Snow Ice and Peach is actually a three-part story. Each story will chronologically co-inside with each other. Yet they can stand alone as separate stories. Therefore, I am going to warn you they will be some death scenes and it was really hard for me to write this chapter. Almost cried in public (almost but held it together like a boss) so I put my heart and a kidney for this chapter. Read and review. Oh and by the way, thank you fellow readers who stay committed to ma stories you guys or gals are beautiful.
Petals
Life is like petals
They scatter in the wind
Dying out in the sun
But help the land

"How did you-"
"Simple Tessai let me in," Roku responded.
I held on to Lyle for dear life. He sensed my tension.
"Relax fighting women and children are not my thing," Roku walked towards me his weapon drawn out.
"Behind you!" Roku shouted as one of those things lurched towards us.
"Strike Four times Goryu maru," his sword extended four times its length impaling the creature….
"Wow kid what is your name," I sheathed my sword after the abomination was slain, "watch yourself."
They were a menace not my enemy I had to get Kota before it is too late.
"Remember the promise we made Kota," I prayed that he did not stray too far from the path.
"Its Orihime by the way,"She looked at me with those beautiful eyes,"Thank you."
"It's nothing let's go," I blushed as we entered the new room…
"Getsuga Tensho!" I fired another volley at the mannequin finally destroying its. This body cannot really take much more. I felt fatigue hit me, as my eyes were droopy.
"Tiwed," the floor looked very comfortable.
"Are you alright Ichigo?" Chad asked.
"Just sleepy," I yawned.
"Well you're just a baby." If Uryu says one more thing about my age, I will KILL HIM!
"Shad up." I shouted grumpily fisting my eyes to remove the sleepiness.
"Aww so cute." Who the hell is this guy?
"Long times no see Quincy," he hissed.
"Oh it's you," Uryu raised his bow, "mind if you like to be my target practice?"
I was half-asleep when the sudden spiritual pressure changed.
"Enough! Four eyes Stand down remember your promise." The guy with the four swords shouted.
"Yes, to protect and follow you my Lord." Four eyes flashed step back to his master side.
"Quincy I'm not here to fight," he shouted.
"How do I know," Uryu replied his bow still drawn.
"Because I wouldn't care if these two got hurt," my heart sunk as I saw Orihime holding a sleeping Lyle.
"Orihime!" I (tried) ran or toddled over to him but Chad held me back.
" lemme go!" I screamed.
"It's ok Mijo calm down," Whatever Chad said put me to sleep….
The Kid fell asleep good he seemed tuckered out. Honestly, I was more concerned about the Quincy. Last time we fought, he kept me at a distance. I would have activated my bankai nut the blue haired brat caught me off guard. It took me weeks to regenerate.
"Okay let's put our weapons up" I sheathed my swords soon Roku followed.
"Look jugs you're not being held captive so you can go." My 'eyes' couldn't believe the sight of those-
"Four eyes behave!" oh shit it was Kota.
"Uh guys Kota could be coming soon." Roku sensed him too and we escaped into another classroom….
"What the hell is this place?" I asked four eyes. From the outside, it was a classroom but it looked like a place full of beds.
"I think this would be the rest area before we fight a huge boss." Orihime asked. I was unsure of what she meant by games. I wonder if it is His doing or Its idea.
"We should rest up we might not make it." I suggested looking at the two sleeping children. Funny I could kill them no and be done with them… Never mind they are Father's problem and not mine.
My eyes turned towards the bed I needed to rest.
"Four eyes stay on guard till I awake." I commanded.
"Yes my lord," my body felt relaxed as sleep took me to the past.
"Kota what do you want to do when this is over." I asked
"I want to use my power for good." He responded while creating a toy from his Kido.
"What about you Four eyes?" Kota asked his attention drawn away from his toy.
"All I want to do is follow my master, never to betray him." Back then, four eyes was just a mod soul housing my power that I did not want. The power of fire HIS power.
"As for me, I want to fight and see your dreams come true." We sat there under the moonlit sky laughing but Kota voice grew serious.
"Roku, if I ever lose control or lost my way to the point past redemption I want you to kill me." His voice was grim as if he was serious.
"Why do you say such things Father would help you," I wondered.
"Just say yes for our friendship!" Kota shouted.
"Ok, but I want you to do the same for me." I asked.
"Me too," Four eyes shouted with much enthusiasm.
"Four eyes…" Kota and I sighed.
"Master wake up!" Four eyes stirred me awake the others were awake as well.
"You looked as if you had a dream." Four eyes stated
"More like a vision from the past….."
Master must have been thinking about the promise we made. Surely I was. This feeling of death has been lurking within for a while. Now it is much grimmer as we entered the other room.
I could not believe what I have seen. It was a hollow being controlled by puppet strings.
"Be on your guard he is strong." I warned them.
"Four eyes let me take care of them." Roku withdrew his sword from his sheath.
"Strike four times Goryu Maru!" four swords appeared and he grabbed them with his feet.
"Flea stance," He was amazing he way he fought it was sheer poetry in motion. He quickly dispatched the monster.
"Too easy," Roku shouted but I knew otherwise. I actually saw the kido strings moving.
"Master," I quickly shoved him out of the way. The strings dug into my flesh the pain I felt. I rather fight madam butterfly than this I screamed as I felt His control over me.
" AwWw LoOkIe HeRe!" Damn Kota.
"Master kill me-"arghhhhhh…
Kota has gone too far!
"Fight it I know you can," my hands were shaking my arms they did not want to move.
"Please do it," Four eyes begged suddenly orbs start protruding from his body. He was hollowfying at a rapid rate.
"FlICk oUt yOu'Re ToUnGe-"I had to do it. My blades bisected his body destroying his core in the process his blade in my hands.
"Sorry," the power of my father was returning as a tear shed from my face.
"Kota! I shouted pillars of fire fuming from my body…
"He'S AnGrY HoW FuN," I whispered the spiritual pressure rising as Roku arrived to my door.
I will stop you-
No YoU WiLl NoT I am In CoNtRoL NoW!-
The other half fought adamantly but it was my body now not his.
"You came-"Roku kicked me into the wall…
Tears escaped my eyes. Usually I would have my emotions in check but not know.
" Hime Put me down I have ta Help!" I begged.
"You're in no shape to fight." Orihime shot back. She was very adamant on protecting me.
"It wasn't your choice," I flashed step towards the area. The battle was intense.
Roku was not holding back. The heat of his bankai was radiating from his Zanpakuto almost like …. Yamamoto?
"Are you going to stand there or do you need me to change you?" Zein asked.
"Not now I'm fine I think," I wondered what she meant.
"No not like that more like this," I felt my body glow brightly as I appeared in a much older form.
"That's what you meant," I grabbed my staff to channel a new spell that popped into my mind.
"All things burn and cease to move as the divine wrath shouts. Calling from the heavens into solid form hado Nil Meteo,"
A huge rock was hurled from a gate colliding head-on with Kota. The force of the explosion destroyed the space around us…
"Gah get off of me Ichigo!" It was a full-grown Ichigo in his soul reaper outfit. Uryu was under him. I laughed although he was very cute I miss the old him.
"Orihime can you help me he is still asleep," Uryu asked me.
"OK!" I smiled. His face I can almost-
"Wake up!" I whispered I was not ready yet…
"You kept your promise," I whispered blood suffocating me. I was finally at peace. No more nightmares, no more pain, I was free.
"Big brother can you sing me a song." I asked.
"Sure," he drew breath…
Sweet memories bitterly blowing
Like the flower petals gently blowing
In the twilight dancing petals
Rest my brother your service is done.
Close your eyes go to sleep…"
His eyes started to close for the last time, his body went limp as I finished the last of my verse.
"Rest child," his body started to glow white and scattered like the petals in the sun.
"Kota Four eyes," I screamed in sorrow tears running hot from my eyes. I lost two people that gave a damn about me. Kuro will pay…
"Kuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr oooooooooooooooooooooo!"
End SNOW
So what do you think of the snow ice and peach saga so far. Empty your minds tell me everything. Oh and the song was made up for the occasion.
