EPILOGUE: 5 years later
"Karin!" turning around my old friends from high school were waving at me. I had recently started collage and hadn't seen them since graduation but today wasn't the day I wanted to hang with them. When they finally caught up with me I had to force a smile onto my face.
"Hey guys, what's up?" tucking the lose strand of hair behind my ear I started thinking of excuses as to make them leave.
"Wanna come play a game with us?" nearly losing my smile I just shook my head.
"Sorry guys, I already have plans for this afternoon but I'll call you up on that game another time," turning around I head in the direction of the hill where I had first talked properly with the youngest Captain of the 13 Court Guard Squads of the Soul Society. It had been 5 years since Toshiro had died and every year I came to the spot on the hill where he said he had the best view of the sky. Sitting in the very spot he had been I looked out as the sun began setting. "Hey Toshiro, another years gone by, I've started collage and am study to be a soccer coach. Ichigo and Rukia have finally started dating and Yuzu has decided to stay at home until Ichigo and I move out," continuing to talk into the wind the sun soon dipped below the horizon. "So Toshiro, in advance, if I stop coming every year its cause I am moving on, that doesn't mean I'm forgetting you, never but I need to stop missing out on things because I can't stop thinking about you, so, see ya," picking up my bag I turned away but as I did snow started to fall. Looking up I smiled to myself and started running home, ready to live my life looking forward.
