Alright, so this is what happens after Ichigo dies and reaches the soul society. Erm, I guess it's the sequel to the last drabble I wrote. Some people wanted me to write what would've happened once he reached there so I figured why not? Plus, I was planning on doing that anyways ;)
Years later….
Finally made it. Ichigo smiled as he walked down the streets of the Rukongai. It had been years since he made that promise to Orihime at her grave. He had died of old age and he lived til he was about a hundred and four. He was a pretty stubborn old man. He hadn't even lost his virginity either. He made one promise that he never broke.
It was Rukia who had come to perform konso on him. He kinda found it ironic how she came to do it because she was the one who had given him shinigami powers to begin with. But he honestly thought that Orihime would've done it.
His eyes wandered around everywhere, trying to soak in his current surroundings. Looks like nothing changed. He kept walking, avoiding bumping into little kids that were chasing each other happily. He didn't look like an old man when he got there. Instead he looked the same when he was in high school. Rukia explained to him that it was probably due to his huge amount of reiatsu that kept him from becoming an old man. Not that he cared though.
"Looks like you finally made it huh, Ichigo-kun?"
Ichigo spun around to see Orihime standing there, a big sunny smile on her face. Her looks didn't change from when they had last spoken. The only difference was that she was wearing a captain's haori.
"What took you so long? You kept me waiting all these years."
He chuckled. "May I remind you that you told me to live my life to the fullest?"
Her smile never faltered. "I guess you're right. But I've been growing impatient! I was tempted to kill you myself so that we could finally be together. And to think I had the whole thing planned out…"
"My, my, my. Someone has gotten more violent over the years. I didn't expect you to have such bad thoughts Hime."
She walked up to him, her eyes locked with his. "Well can you blame me? It took you so long to die! I wasn't expecting you to live until you were a hundred and four! And besides, if I killed you, it's different than someone else killing you."
He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his forehead against hers. "How do you figure that?"
She giggled. "If I killed you, it was because I'm in love with you and I didn't want to wait any longer. But if someone did, it would be because they just wanted to kill someone for the sake of murder."
He sighed. "I hope you realize that your logic still confuses me."
"That's because you're too serious, Ichigo."
Their lips locked and it was the sweetest reunion they had ever had. Nothing could ruin it. If there was an attack, they would be too lost in their world to even notice. It didn't last long either. They pulled away and Ichigo hugged her tighter than normal. He never wanted to let her go. But he knew he would have to eventually.
"Oh and Ichigo?"
"Yeah?"
Orihime smiled. "Welcome to the Soul Society."
