Yo!
It's nice to meet you again for the pre-chapter greeting!
I'd like to dedicate this chapter to all my friends who take time to read my fics, including you guys! Arigatou!
You'll be blessed! xD I'm not just sayin'…
Standard disclaimer applies, no matter how awkward this plot gets! xD
Chapter 4
Still Ichigo's narration.
I remember it clearly… that night… The last time we saw her… Yuki was only 3 years old in summer. It was a hot day so we took Ichiyuki out for ice cream. Everyone was casual until the sudden attack of a hollow. Rukia and I were both alarmed, so we both took Ichiyuki to a safe place. More and more hollows gathered… I had no idea why until…
"Otou-chan, Okaa-chan! Help me!" my son screamed…
He was only 3 years old and he was terrified of having seen a hollow in such an early age… It would be impossible, but my son was an exception…
I released a huge blast of power in my bankai form, which killed all the hollows at once… My son had fainted by then so he didn't see his powerful dad… heh…
The smoke had cleared… But I couldn't find Rukia!
"Rukia…Rukia… Where're ya?" I searched for her…
"Ichigo!" she cried out… It started to rain…
"Rukia!" I went after her… The gates of soul society opened and she was being forced back even after our misunderstanding there was solved.
"I'm so sorry…" She sobbed. The past came to haunt us, when we were entirely happy… I knew this day would come and parting ways would be terrible… I couldn't be without her by my side… But I had no choice. She made her word in the first place to be able to stay with me, and now she's being forced back while there's nothing I could do… What I could do endangers Ichiyuki's life, and Rukia wouldn't want that.
I felt more than desperate and terrible… What would Yuki think when he finds out?
"Don't come after me… They'll kill you… They'll kill Ichiyuki… I can't bear that… Please try to forget, even if it's difficult… but don't forget you're the only person I was ever so close to… I'll keep both you and Yuki in my heart forever… I'll never regret any moment of it… Goodb-"
"This ain't goodbye yet Rukia." The last remark she heard from me…
The rain poured heavily. I clutched Ichiyuki as I painfully closed my eyes from Rukia having to leave, knowing there was nothing I could do…
It was the night when rain melted snow… When the past spoiled our happiness…
One of the shortest chapters I made ever!
Well, bye for now. Hope to be able to write to you guys in the next chapter! Thanks for reading!
