Miyu smiled sitting down on the blanket next to Jushiro and rested against his chest. She smiled as his arms held her tightly. "Jushiro..." She whispered. It came so naturally and sounded so nice on her lips.

He laughed slightly and leaned back against the tree. His grip loosened and he closed his eyes relaxing. Miyu looked over at him and smiled.

Jushiro... She snuggled closer and felt happier than she ever remembered being. She blinked hearing a small noise and slowly sat up looking around. She tensed thoughts going instantly to Aizen.

"Miyu?" Jushiro asked opening his eyes.

"It's nothing." She said calmly relaxing against him again. She flinched as her neck throbbed again. She gripped at it as it started burning.

"Miyu?!" Jushiro sat up and tried to pull her hand away to see what was wrong. He froze seeing her small red crystal. "Miyu!"

She collapsed her head against his chest, body shivering. He clutched her close frowning. "Ju...Jushiro..." She whispered.

"It's okay Miyu... It's okay..."

She looked up at him tears in her eyes. "Am I dreaming?" She whispered. "Or am I dead?"

"No. You're perfectly fine." He ran his hand through her hair.

She sniffled. "But... how..."

He blinked confused. "Miyu?"

"You're alive..." She whispered.

He froze looking at her. "Mi... Miyu?"

"You're alive... I ...i didn't kill you."

He tightened his grip and held her closer. "No Miyu... You didn't... you saved me." He kissed her forehead gently. "You have nothing to worry about."

She looked at him and sniffled. "But..."

"Miyu I'm okay." He leaned into kiss her, but she pulled away touching her crystal. He blinked. "Miyu?"

"I... My crystal."

"I don't care." He smiled wrapping his arms around her. "I'm not going to touch it." He leaned in and kissed her. She was hesitant at first, but slowly began to kiss back. He smiled happily and whispered in between kisses, "I love you Miyu.. I always will."

"Jushiro..." She whispered happily. She pulled away and smiled at him. "I love-." She was interrupted by a hollow swiping at them and separating the two.

"MIYU!" Jushiro gasped getting up painfully. He saw the blue haired espada picking her up and charged, but the hollow blocked. "NO! MIYU!" He yelled slicing at the hollow. By the time he had killed the hollow, Miyu was gone. "No... Miyu..." He collapsed in shock and pain. He had just gotten her back, and now she was gone.

Miyu gasped as she was thrown to the ground roughly. She got up slowly and flinched as her body screamed out in pain. She looked up and glared at Aizen as he stared down at her. He got up slowly and walked to her. "Miyu..."

"Go die!" She hissed at him.

He smirked. "I see you are back to normal." He gripped her arm and pulled her to her feet and touched her crystal. "Red..."

"Go die!" Miyu growled trying to pull away.

He frowned. "I'm starting to miss that loyal Miyu.."

Miyu glared at him. "She's not coming back!"

"She will." Azien smirked. "Slowly she will."
