Epilogue

Several years later

It's amazing how one can stay faithful to another. Especially in the case of one Chad Yasutora and Rukia Kuchiki.

Considering they both were from to different worlds. Seeing each other over the years hadn't been easy on them.

Even though they had so many close calls of their relationship ending it never did. Yes they had never married, only because technically they couldn't.

However that didn't stop their loving from growing and staying all these years.

Even now as he laid on his deathbed, she was here. She was still very young looking while he was grey and wrinkly. She still stayed by his side though it all.

However a heavy cloud of gloom hung over them. The chances of him remembering anything from his life were slim.

That is what unfortunately happens to one when they enter the Soul Society.

Both were fearful of the outcome. Rukia feared that Chad wouldn't remember her. For him he was afraid he would make her cry.

"Try to be optimistic love" he rasped out,squeezing her hand.

She gazed down at him and gave a small smile and squeezed his hand tighter.

"I am trying my love" she replied. The words it's difficult laid unsaid.

He understood. Though he was positive that he would retain his memories. At least he was 85% sure.

He felt that the end was near. He closed his eyes and let a tear fall.

Squeezing her hand one last time he told her "I love you. Wait for me Rukia".

"I love you to and yes I will" she said as she laid a kiss on his lips.

With that everything faded into darkness.

-linebreaker-

She frantically looked for him. How could they get separated like that!

She felt him nearby. She quickly flash step to him.

After all she promised she would be there waiting for him.

Stepping out from behind the row of trees she nervously called out "Chad".

He heard someone call his name and a wide smile at the person. His breath hitched slightly.

The person fidgeted under his stare. Hesitantly she kneeled in front of him and cupped his face.

"Chad,do you remember me?" she whispered warily. She bit her lip waiting for the man in front of her to respond.

He chuckled and his smile grew wider. "Of course I do, Rukia. Though I was afraid you abandoned me when I woke up alone".

She sobbed happily and embraced him. "I am happy you remember and I am sorry that I wasn't there. Forgive me?".

He held her tightly in response. He could never be mad at her.

"It's alright now. Everything will be fine" she whispered.

He smiled. Yes everything will be fine. As long as they had each other.

From the very beginning you have always been here, my love.
