Their bloody fingers were tightly entangled as they lay limb amidst the rubble, robes torn, bones broken and eyes glassy, reflecting the setting sun in their crumbled depths.
As Aizen died, the Hôgyoku within him had sucked everything in its vicinity in like a black hole, and Ichigo, standing so close to him had very nearly fallen victim to the sucking void had Rukia not gotten a tight grip on his hand, holding him in place long enough for the imploding Hôgyoku to calm down.
Already relaxing in the belief the commotion had ended, they failed to notice the explosion occurring seconds later, there not being enough time to distance themselves as they were thrown against the pavement, bones breaking as the splitters pierced muscles and vital organs, yet their hands never losing the others' grasp as the life was ripped from their souls.
The cruel beauty left deafening silence behind as they faded away.
-o-
You never go
You're always here [suffocating me]
Under my skin
I cannot run away
Fading slowly
-o-
Air hit his back whilst he fell, fell into a black void he knew was no escape from. His robes were fluttering with the wind as his whole body was limb, his right arm outstretched before him, fingers grasping onto nothing but air instead of what he knew had been in his tight grip only moments (seconds? minutes? hours? years?) before.
Feeling the familiar tug of Reiatsu at the back of his mind and recognizing it as a desperate Inoue trying to reclaim his life he shoved it away harshly, already knowing that his existence would feel empty upon waking up to a world without the little menace his arm was fruitlessly grasping for.
Rukia...
It was over and he knew it.
-o-
I'd give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
-o-
Amber and amethyst met across the cafeteria, a sense of nostalgia overtaking the owners of the eyes as they stopped in their tracks, just staring into the others' pair of jewel-colored eyes, the world around them dissolving.
"Oi, you alright, Taiyô?" The boy with the bright hair blinked, the ban that had kept him locked to the eyes of the girl across the hall broken as he turned towards his friend. He smirked, voice cracking slightly. "Y-yeah, I'm... fine... I think," the last part was murmured under his breath as he turned his head back towards where he saw the girl with the amazing violet eyes last, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Across the room the girl with hair as white as the moon searched the crowds of students with her eyes, frantically, looking for the blond-haired boy that had kept her gaze glued to his, the nostalgia overwhelming her system as she felt her hands get sweaty in something like panic. "Tsuki?"
She whirled around, smiling nervously. "Yes?"
Her black-haired friend frowned. "You alright? You were spacing out on me just now."
The white-haired girl nodded. "Y-yeah, I'm just fine!"
-o-
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now
-o-
The second time their eyes met they bumped into each other in the hall, her books flying everywhere as they rubbed their aching rear ends and shoulders, eyes opening and once again getting glued together.
The blond teen was the first to get himself together, quickly picking up all her books and holding them out for her. She blinked, blush creeping up her pale cheeks as she mumbled a thank-you and took her things from him.
She jumped when she heard him speak. "Sorry if this sounds lame, but do I know you?"
Tsuki did everything to not look him in the eyes. "No, I highly doubt it. Gotta go. Bye." With that she was gone, fleeing from him and the sudden thoughts and feelings invading her troubled mind.
-o-
My best defense, running from you
I can't resist, take all you want from me
Breaking slowly
-o-
The third time they met, he saved her from a bunch of guys trying to drag her off. The fight didn't last 12 seconds and he slowly made his way towards her covering figure. "You alright?" Her amethyst eyes that held him captive this time around as well snapped open, meeting his and all fear leaving their mesmerizing depths.
He smiled. "I hope you won't run off on me again this time. I'm Taiyô." And he held out his tanned hand, the sunlight beaming on him seeming to give him an ethereal glow as his light blond hair shone orange.
When she took his hand something akin to electric currents shot through them, eyes once again fixing on each other as they hesitated, a strange sense of Déjà Vu coming over them. She blinked. "My name's... Tsu... ki..." Suddenly her name didn't sound right coming from her tongue anymore, and to his ears it felt like a sad excuse of what was once the most loved sound.
The bright-haired male shook his head, and with a tug he had brought the girl to her feet. Not suspecting the sudden change in stance she lost her footing, crushing right into his chest, hands still clutching tightly at the others'.
Shocked expressions made their way on their faces as they stared at each other not realizing their fingers intertwining.
-o-
I'd give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now

They just stared at each other, unable to look away for the nth time. As they stared into each others' eyes their faces grew closer without them noticing, and only when they began breathing the same air did it occur to them what was happening, a dark blush marring their complexions as they jerked away from each other, not meeting their gazes again, in fear of not being able to stop this time.
They met everyday from there on, despite the weird feelings taking possession of their minds when they were close, they thought nothing more of it then them being hormonal teenagers. And after two months it didn't faze them anymore when their eyes locked on one another's, world narrowing down to the others' presence.
And when they first kissed, it was just that. Hormones. They desperately shoved away any thoughts of lost time and nostalgia away in the backs of their minds, not daring to face the unknown that would surely mean losing who they were.
It was just that they knew it would be inevitable.
-o-
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now!

"Hey, Tsuki?" She looked down at his relaxed face, eyes closed as his head lay on her lap, her hand stroking through his blond tresses. "Hm?"
"I still think I knew you from before." His eyes now opened, and it was once again only him, only them, the rest of the world nothing but white.
Here they were, 28, and it seemed the inevitable had crushed down on them.
Her hand stilled as her lips parted in a silent gasp, eyes pleading him to stop because that suffocating feeling was taking over her again.
But he would have none of it.
Because despite the sinking feeling that this would destroy the little perfect world they had, he just knew it would be worth it, and he was willing to take that risk as he sat up, pressing their lips together in a searing kiss, as he willed her to accept that sense of knowing something that was long since a thing of the past that had been buried under layer of thick layer of time.
Because the thing he valued more than his perfect little world was her, something he knew he'd never lose again, not through this sickening nostalgia, not through death.

You're all I'm reaching for
It's already over
All I'm reaching for!
It's already over now

"... and they remembered those days where they fought everyday to survive. But it didn't faze them as they continued to live to the fullest, even more so now that they what had been lost. End."
The little, white-haired girl clapped her tiny hands as she beamed at her mother, an exact replica of herself. "Again!" Her mother laughed as she ruffled the girl's hair. "I already told it 3 times today, now it's time for you to sleep, Lucia, you have a doctor's appointment early tomorrow!"
The girl pouted but went to sleep anyways.
-o-
I'd give it all to you
I offer up my soul
It's already over, already over now!
-o-
As she closed the door to her daughter's room she felt two strong, warm arms wrap around her waist, drawing her into a broad chest, the spicy scent of her husband invading her nostrils. "That story again, Tsuki?"
The white-haired woman shrugged as she leaned back into him. "What can I say? She loves their story."
Taiyô pecked the top of her head, a smirk sound in his words. "You mean our story, Rukia."
-o-
Give it all to you
Letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
-o-
She shrugged. "So what? We aren't Ichigo and Rukia now."
"True, but we are still the moon and the sun, doesn't change even though our names and appearances change, right?"
Tsuki rolled her eyes. "Bad pun, really."
He nuzzled her neck. "Says you."
"No, says the person of us who actually has humor."
-o-
Nothing left to lose
Loving you again!
I know it's already over now!
-o-
"I love you, wo de yuè."
-o-
It's already over now!
-o-
She smirked. Leave it to him to come up with Chinese. "Love you, too, wo de rì."
-o-
Uh, yeah, no good songfic without death, it seems^^"
'Taiyô' means 'Sun', 'Tsuki' means 'Moon', 'Lucia' is nothing else but 'Rukia' in Latin :/
'wo de yuè/rì' is Chinese for 'my moon/sun' (Thanks amehoshi141 for correcting me)
I KNOW HOW SAPPY AND CLICHÉ THIS WAS! DON'T RUB IT IN :/
