Author's note: Alright, I said this was going to be oneshot, but I wanted to include the confession-while-watching-the-sunset scene. That will be the final chapter. Before that, though, there will be these short narrations of the changes in Soul Society and about the war. The reason I didn't put these narrations in one whole chapter is because it might get too long. So here goes the narration.
Disclaimer: Bleach belongs to Kubo Tite, who resurrected my love for anime.
From Chapter 1:
From that day forth, the sunset witnessed their relationship. The sunset witnessed words of apology, words of pain, words of depression. And yet, the sunset also witnessed words of forgiveness, words of acceptance, words of happiness.
Today, many years after Hinamori gave life another chance, the sunset is about to witness words of love.
It has been 10 Earth years since Hinamori decided to give life another chance. Things have definitely changed around Soul Society. Mostly, things changed for the better.
As Hinamori woke up today, she felt warm and cheerful. It was a sunny day and the rays of light that entered her room and danced around amused her. She got off from her bed and stood up. She stretched her arms and happened to glance at the pictures on her bedside table. The pictures were of her and her best friend, Shiro-chan. She smiled as she remembered her name for him. He had let her call him that after she woke up from her coma years ago.
She stared at one picture. It was a picture taken back in the Shinigami Academy. She had one arm over Shiro-chan's shoulder and she smiled genuinely. Shiro-chan, who was much shorter than her that time, seemed annoyed. As far as Hinamori could remember, Shiro-chan wanted to take the camera from Kira-kun and smash it to bits. She had scolded him and he ended up doing nothing. She laughed at the thought.
She stared at another picture. It was fairly recent and it was during the Sakura Festival in Soul Society. Shiro-chan had definitely grown and become a man. He was taller than her and his build was perfect for his height. Hinamori stared interestingly as she noticed that Shiro-chan was smiling. She blushed.
She took the picture, sat down on her bed, and continued looking at it. She felt herself still blushing and she felt her heart beat a little faster. She knew why she felt that way. She loved him. She loved Shiro-chan. She had realized it that day when Aizen died, when the war ended. It was about 2 Earth years after she woke up from her coma.
Next chapter is a very short narration of what happened after Hinamori woke up from her coma. Reviews are very much appreciated!
