As I awoke, I noticed all the girls huddled around me. Then I saw him. It was a shock, seeing him here. I noticed he was dressed, as he would have if he were in our school. It was Ichigo Kurosaki; the man I never knew still lived. He was in his Gigai form, because his human form must have passed. His Gigai held his soul, and his soul held darkness… and I was the only one around me who knew it. He edged closer to me and said one word, "Son." I immediately went into a state of shock and he pulled back as if in fear.
When I awoke again, he was gone. The girls said to me "Yaruseki, are you sure you want to find him? He left when you passed out, and your still bleeding." "Still bleeding?" I thought, and I realized Hollow wounds never heal without the help of soul reaper magic. My mother had the ability to heal others with her shunshun-rikka.
Yes, my mother was Orihime Inoue.
AUTHOR'S COMMENTS: It was fun to write this chapter, as I discovered more of myself in this Yaruseki character. The title will be explained in the next chapter. And maybe you guys can see the pairing now. Ideas are always welcome!
