Disclaimer: If IchiRuki is confirmed, Bleach becomes a shoujo manga with the odd fight here and there which makes no sense and all the characters are Mary Sues, you'll know it belongs to me. Till then all rights to the great Tite Kubo.

Later, when she argues with him on the bridge while her brother stood gazing at them nonchalantly, she can't help feeling that maybe, just maybe, it's not too late after all.
