Prompt #8 (I skipped two): The Heart; June 2011. Rating: G. A/N: Yeah, I don't even know. I was thinking about the final scene in the movie Places in the Heart.


The Heart


"The pain never really goes away, does it?" asks Orihime.

The waiter places the bill on the table and leaves the two customers in peace.

Rangiku smiles gently, resting the tips of her chopsticks against the corner of her mouth.

"The person never goes away." She presses two fingers against Orihime's chest. "He lives here, in places in your heart."

"They died so many years ago," sighs Orihime. "Don't you worry your heart will forget?" She picks indifferently at her noodles.

"Ah, Orihime-chan!" chides Gin affectionately. He sneaks an arm around Rangiku's waist.

Ulquiorra watches them silently, his eyes keen.
