It was dark. Her kiss on his cheek still felt as warm as ever. She leaned back, and finally said it, "Ichigo, I'm pregnant." He stood back in fear, and this time more of his anger burst out. "Whose child is it?" he spat. "Yours," she said, almost ready to burst out in tears. His eyes widened in shock. In the blink of an eye, he hugged her, kissed her warm forehead, and left.

Now where is he? I couldn't get the thought out of my head. I ran to the park, nothing. I ran to the town center, nothing. I ran all around town, and then I realized where he might be. I ran to his old house, and there he was. Next thing I knew, I had a sword going through my heart and I was coughing up blood. "You're too weak," he spat, and I knew he was in his Hollow form. Then all I remember is passing out.

I woke up, and I realized I had a sword on my back and I was wearing black robes. The sword had a black crystal in the hilt, and it was made of fine silver. The hilt itself was gray, and the layout of the sword was a rapier. I heard clapping behind me. "Well done son! You've become a soul reaper!" called a voice behind me. I wanted to KILL that voice. That was the voice of my Hollow of a father, Ichigo Kurosaki. "You killed me! Now everyone's going to my funeral, and all you can do is say 'well done son!' I hate you, and that's final. Now everyone is going to find out some maniac guy from our school stabbed me to death!" I screamed. "Calm down, you still have your Gigai form," he said. "Huh? I have a Gigai? I thought those were for disembodied soul reapers?" I questioned. "No, young Yaruseki. A Gigai is a body for any disembodied soul. Well, everyone has a Gigai, because it holds your spirit." He quietly said to me. He nodded, and then spoke, "Yaruseki, there's something I have to tell you, but we can't talk about it here."

I was scared and then, he told me we were going to see the sunset and he would explain it there. Where were we going to see the sunset? I didn't know.

When we got there he wanted to say one thing, "Yaruseki, I haven't been around for most of your life, and I never knew you as you were growing up, and… well… I wanted to say 'I love you' for the first time in your life." Then he gave me the hug I would never forget, and all of the sudden, his spirit shattered and flew off in the wind. Once again I heard his voice, "Yaruseki, I love you." He was leaving me, just as soon as he had come. He was wishing me luck from the Soul Society, where we called Heaven, on my way as a soul reaper.

I entered his house, and there was a woman standing there. "Welcome to the Soul Society, Yaruseki Kurosaki. My name is Rukia, and that's all you need to know." I shoved her out of the way, fell onto my late father's bed, and cried.
