Fate Never Says Why

"Thank you, Ichigo. The rain has finally stopped."

Why did she do this? Why did she do this for me?

The rains pouring down hard against my back. I lick a droplet that was hanging on my lip. It had a salty taste. I haven't cried since my mom died. And now I'm crying cause she might die. Life just seems to like to see me happy one moment, then crush me the next minute. I was cradling her in my arms. Usually she seems so strong but right now with her breathing ragged and heart slowing down by the minute, she's just so defeated. 'Of course she's defeated! She just had a sword shoved through her stomach! A very big sword.' I thought to my self.

'Dammit what is wrong with me? Why cant I just pick her up and take her Urahara?' I thought to myself, unmoving from my position. In my head a laughter of a mad man echoed. 'cause you know she's already going to die.' The voice told me. I feel to weak to respond to him even though physically I'm unharmed. All I'm able to do is just watch the life of her drain out. I hear the sound of foot steps hitting the wet pavement. I still kneel there unmoving with her dying in my arms. They saw it, I figured out from the gasps behind me. "What? What the hell happened?" I hear her best friend ask.

Why does this always happen to you? Why must you always pay the price?

I felt her reaistu start to get fainter by the minute. I ran here as fast as I could. Obviously the others had felt her spirit waver as well. But the thing was I could feel his powerful reaistu as well. When I got to the scene I saw him on his knees holding her. Immediately I yell out "What? What the hell happened?" He doesn't answer his eyes just continue to stare at her bleeding body. Something behind him catches my eyes. It was his sword with blood rolling off it on to the ground to mix with the rain. I look at him and wondered who's blood it was, surely he wouldn't have done that to her.

Then I glance at her, she's holding something white in her hand. On closer inspection, it looks like a white broken piece with three red streaks on the side. The only thing that came to mind was a hollows mask. But why would she have that? I stare at her hand that's holding so tight on to it that her knuckles are white. Is it even possible to do that while unconscious. I look at her face, 'I guess so' I thought.

Why did this happen? After everything we've gone through this shouldn't have happened. After everything they went through.

I started running when I felt her spirit slowy start to diminish. I saw Abrai-kun ahead of me. Tatsuki-chan was also behind me running. She was calling my name probably wondering why I suddenly took off on her. I ran as fast and as hard as I could. If she died Kurosaki-kun would die with her. I couldn't let him die to. 'No' I thought to myself I'm not doing this because Kurosaki-kun cares about but because I care about. She started out as someone I envied, then she became my friend and some one I admired and truly respected.

I saw Abrai-kun stop at a corner. I saw his eyes widen. As I looked around the corner my eyes widen and I gasped. I heard Tatsuki-chan stop behind me and gasp too. I heard Abrai-kun shout but I was focusing on the words I just merely looked at my friend dying in my high-school crush's arms. Hours, minutes , seconds. I don't know how much time passed. I finally started think properly. I rushed over to Kurosaki-kun and asked him to place her body down on the ground. For the first time, (I think) I saw Kurosaki-kun crying. I couldn't tell because of the rain but his eyes had red rings around them and looked a bit puffy.

As I began to heal her I felt something I hadn't felt since I had just began using my powers. Fear. Over the years of using my powers I gained confidence in them. But I had never healed someone so near death.

Could I reject death?

What? Why is this happening all of a sudden? How can things change so suddenly?

One minute I'm trying to get out of eating one of Orihime's insane food (if you can even call it that) the next minute I'm chasing her down the street in the rain. I call out her name desprately trying to get her slow down. 'When did she become this fast?' I wondered as I attempted to catch up with her. Eventually I see a guy in a black samuari get-up in front Orihime running to what seemed the same destination Orihime was heading to. I recognized him as Abrai. I didn't fully understand the whole shinigami thing. Kuchiki , Abrai and Ichigo didn't exactly tell me much. After Orihime had gotten back from that Heuco Mundo place, she spent most of the time trying to make up for lost time, so she didn't talk very much about it. Also that creepy guy with the sandals and the hat didn't give straight answers.

Orihime stops and stands next to Abrai. I hear her gasp and eventually I hear myself gasp to. I stand behind Orihime and look around as I try to catch my breath. I see them. Ichigo is on the ground kneeling with her in his arms. I saw Ichigo's eyes. I turned away quickly. All I saw in Ichigo's eyes was regret and sadness. Almost like when he lost his mother. Almost. Back then Ichigo lost a mother. This time it was a lover. Everyone seemed to know that they were in love except them. I think they were to thick headed to realise that. I didn't really know her that well but I was there on those many occasions when they were together. From what I could she and Ichigo were similar in personalitys. So I knew that when I saw the looks that Ichigo gave her when he thought no one was looking, on her face as well I knew that they were in love.

I saw Orihime run to the two. I guessed she then told Ichigo to place her on the ground. Then I saw the familiar glow of Orihime's powers. Ichigo was crouching now, right by her side. I was avoiding looking at his eyes. She seemed to be getting better and eventually her wound was healed…..but something wasn't right. Orihime was kneeling and when she stopped healing her, Orihime's hands dropped to her side. Like she had given up…

Renji

I'm sorry I wasn't always there for when you needed me most.

Inoue

Thank you for everything you have ever done. You have taught me many things about my self. I will never forget you.

Ichigo

I wanted to let you know. I love you.

Tatsuki

Despite Orihime's healing she still died. She died in front of me, her two of friends and the man that should have been her lover.

She can never be replaced.

And so fell the sword of fate
