GONE

It had been two years since Ichigo's mother had been killed on a mission. Isshin had taken it really bad and steadily began to sink into depression. No one ever thought he would take it so far though.

Ichigo clenched his fists. He couldn't believe it. It couldn't possibly be true. He spun around and ran from the room. He ignored all the shouts for him to stop. He ran until he reached his house.

It was completely empty. Ichigo scoured every room for any sign of his father and sisters. He found none. It was almost as if no one but himself had ever lived there.

"It-it's really true. He really did leave."

"Ichigo"

Ichigo didn't turn around. He knew who it was.

"Aizen, why did he leave?"

"No one knows for sure. There's going to be an investigation."

"Really." It wasn't a question.
