Wow! I haven't updated this story since August. Well, I'm updating now so enjoy!

Alternate Ending #3: Dearest Ichigo...

Dearest Ichigo,

By the time you read this letter, I'll be long gone. I'm not going to Soul Society—not Seireitei or any of the 320 districts of Rukongai. I'm not going to Urahara's shop. I'm going somewhere where you would never find me, where no one can find me.

Ha...as if you care.

I know about you and Inoue. I saw you guys, actually. I was waiting for Renji and I heard people talking. And when I got there... I don't want to go into the details. The thought of the event ever occurring makes me cry. It's just too gruesome. No...gruesome isn't the right word. Horrific? Terrible? Dismal? Dreadful? Sad?

Depressing. Yeah, that's the right word. Depressing.

You hurt my heart, Ichigo. You ripped it out and split it in two and stepped on it and laughed in my face. For two whole hours after that incident in the park, I waited for you. I thought maybe you'd come into the room with my heart all fixed up on a silver platter and a red rose by its side.

But my heart can't be mended. At least not here.

I'm not mad, Ichigo. You remember that. No matter how foolish or stupid it seems, I still love you, even after Inoue. I will always love you, no matter what, but there is nothing I can do that will make you love me back.

I've come to learn that I can't stay. I can't just blank this out and continue to be your friend. I'm not strong. my love for you has made me weak, so weak, and I can't this anymore.

I hope you and Inoue have a nice life. I hope you're successful and that you guys stay happy and safe. I hope you two stay together forevrer. "Til death do we part," and all, huh, Ichigo? And if Inouedoesn't work out for you, hey, there are other fish in the sea. Keep on catching 'em, kid, and maybe you'll catch one who loves you as much as I do. Dive into that deep ocean, catch all those fish.

Just not me.

But I'm okay with it. Really. Sure, I do hope that one day, you look at Inoue, and instead you see my face. I hope that you'll look back and see all the care I showed for you, and you'll really miss me. You'll really wish that it was me behind that tree park, not Inoue.

So be happy, Ichigo, be safe. Wherever I may go, whatever I may do, I will always remember, miss, and care for you.

I love you, Ichigo. No kiss in the park can change it. But I have to go. I will never regret leaving, even if I feel physical pain every day I'm not near you.

I love you.

It's heartbreaking. It's pitiful. It's painful. But it's the truth.

Signed,

RUKIA

Who You Shall Never See Again


Rukia's original note was only like a paragraph long. I didn't want it to be too short so I beefed it up with a lot of useless stuff. I must have said "I love you" about ten times...
This sounds rather sad and depressing. It sounds a bit like a suicide note, so, just to clarify, Rukia did not kill herself. She just ran away.
Anyway, part of the credit goes to my sister for helping me out when I got stuck.
