Hi from the lazy author! It's April 2020!

So yeah, I'm finally starting to gear up and revise this one. The ending will be quite hard though, since I'm missing the half of Chapter 12 and full chapter of 13 and Epilogue. Well, it will still be the same, just a few changes here and there. Of course, the grammatical errors need to be fixed.

I hope that even though IchiHime is canon in the manga, you'll still love Bleach and IchiRuki as much as I do!

So, here's the very short prologue.

LEGENDS:

"Normal Speaking"

Thoughts

Flashbacks

Flashback ends

"Normal speaking in Flashbacks"

Thoughts in Flashbacks

DISCLAIMER: Mari doesn't own anything. Well, she owns the plot and the scenes though.

OUR LOVE, TOWARDS THE FUTURE

By: Mari Kia Aishiteru

Prologue: Her Existence

It was dark.

Dark and cold.

She felt numb. She wasn't sure if it was from the cold or the pain. It was dark, but she knew there was blood around her.

She could smell it. It was around her. She was covered with it.

Her eyes wandered around the darkness.

Deafening silence.

Because of that, she heard the voices, the screams.

Tears gathered in her eyes again.

Her breathing labored, heart beating fast.

She struggled to place her right hand on her chest as she tried to place air in her lungs.

There it was; the painful feeling of losing them.

It was worse than the fear of death.

Her eyes dilated upon noticing the darkness getting closer and closer to her. She panicked and tears streamed down the side of her eyes.

It was getting closer… and closer.

A scream ripped through her rasped throat.

Violet eyes opened widely.

Her breathing was heavy, as if she ran a thousand miles.

She raised her upper body on the bed, taking in her surroundings. She was in her new room.

She placed a hand on her chest to calm her breathing.

That's right. I settled in yesterday.

She looked outside the window next to her bed and saw that it was almost dawn. She sighed and stood up from the bed. She went towards her new bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror.

She almost scoffed. "I look like a ghost." She muttered to herself. Her eyes had black bags under them, face all pale and her hair clung to her face because of the sweat.

She stopped pitying herself and started to prepare herself for the day.

Yes, I'm going to a new school today. I just have to be firm of my promise.

I will never let anyone get hurt again because of me. Ever.

I'd rather die.

.: END OF PROLOGUE :.

Note: This story is BACK! This story was first published in May 2010 with the title "My Love Your Love All the Way to our Future" . I can't remember the exact date. It was completed in 2012. I took it down though because of too many grammatical and typo errors and I couldn't bear it. I love the story though. That is the reason why I am going to revise this story and post it by chapter. To those who are familiar with this story, I hope you will be reading this again because there will be changes and additional scenes for this story. I hope I will be able to update this regularly unlike the others. This is not your normal love story (love triangle and all that), there was nothing like that in this story. But still, you will enjoy this. I hope, because I did.

This is my first ever IchiRuki story posted in since I joined. This story is really memorable to me.

Well, enough reminiscing.

Start reading and reviewing of course!

Lovelots,

Mari Kia Aishiteru
