Black n yellow-here

"I can be tough, I can be strong,

But with you, it's not like that at all."

You sat on your couch, eyes empty and heart shattered into a thousand pieces. The whole apartment was empty, just you, alone. You gave hichiro to orahime, you just couldn't have him aroundthey looked so much alike. Too much.

You looked blankly at the floor; it's been a full year since that day and you still felt crushed and empty. At first rukia would come over and try to get you back on your feet again, but you just couldn't. it felt wrong, almost perverted to do anything without him. You still kept yourself healthy, eating, drinking, and taking a daily shower. You talked to hichiro on the phone everyday. You wanted to die, just let it all go. The only thing that held you was hichiro. He can't lose anymore people; he'd feel 2x the pain you felt. After you did those 4 things you'd just sit here, with your heart aching and your soul slowly breaking. You sighed and stood up, ready for bed, tomorrow was Hichiro's birthday and you knew you couldn't miss it, that's the last thing Hichigo would want. You walked to your closet, opened it and crouched down. You faintly smirked at the small black, rectangle, gift wrapped present you had for hichiro. Inside was a silver chain necklace with a tiny hichigo mask you asked rukia to get for you. You placed it on your dresser, crawled into bed, and fell asleep into the first dream you had in a full year..

You floated in the darkness, eyes closed and naked as a strong spiritual pressure engulfed you. You slowly opened your eyes and flinched back at the giant hollow mask in front of you. The eyes came to like in a black and yellow, your heart skipped a beat, hichigo..

The mouth broke open in a grin "I'll come back. to you…" the next thing you knew you were falling through the darkness, your arm stretched out as you watched the mask shrink and soon disappear as a huge burst of white light engulfed you.

You screamed as you shot out of bed, your body drenched in sweat and your heart pumping wildly. You held your head , eyes wide and looking at your lap, Hichigo's words ringing in your hollow-fied ears. You climbed out of bed and practically flash-stepped to the bathroom.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" you fake grinned as you clapped and sang to your son. He may be one but he looked 4. "mommy! I missed you!" you hugged hichiro, swallowing down your sorrow and pain, then brought him out into the back yard. "I missed you too prince! You've gotten so big!" hichiro grinned "I got you something!" you knelt down and handed hichiro his present. "yay!" hichiro ripped it open and froze "mommy…" you pulled it out and connected it around his neck " if you ever miss your mommy or you.daddy j-just wear this it'll keep you safe." Hichiro smiled "t-thank you queeny…"you froze as hichiro hugged you. You laced your hands around him and hugged him back, tears finally making their escape. Hichiro pulled away "mommy, iI love you." Tears continued down your face "I-i love you too baby. Soooo much. N-now go party. I'll be inside in a minute."Hichiro nodded, gave you a lingering glance before he ran back in. you finally broke down into tears your barrier breaking down. You clutched your chest "p-please, make the p-pain stop. p-please." "queeny, didn't I say I'd come back?" you froze and slowly brought your head up, t-that voice

MUUUHAHAHA! MORE TO COME!
