Chapter 4

Ichigo sung his zanpakuto and one of the hollows who jumped up in the air while the other one came from below and attacked, he blocked but the one from before came from above and scratched his shoulder. He used flash step then sliced at one of the hollows, cutting of its arm.

"just for that I'm going to kill that little creature behind me, she has strong spiritual power and should be a lovely meal, what do you say brother?" said hollow number 1 without an arm

"I fine but we need to looked after soul reaper first"

"ICHIGO LOOK OUT" I screamed but it was too late the hollows had surrounded him and had ripped though his flesh.

He fell forward barely able to stay on his feet. The hollows were preparing for the finishing blow any minute now Ichigo would be dead and it was all my fault.

"it doesn't have to be that way, didn't you want to protect not be protected?"

Without even thinking I ran towards Ichigo, even if I couldn't save him I could at least buy him some time by giving up my own life, sorry mum but it's about time I went home.

I closed my eyes and the next thing I knew my body was on fire. I could feel the pain surrounding my wound but I didn't care, I knew that this would anger Ichigo and then he would kill them, well I hoped anyway.

I felt the pain in my body disappeared and then nothing, I felt no pain, no blood pouring out of my wound all that I felt was the war arm s surrounding me – wait what. I opened my eyes and nearly jumped out of my skin.

'"ICHIGO"

"Sorry, looks like I couldn't save you"

I looked down and saw that I was not wearing my school uniform but a kimono. I was light blue with clouds, lace around the neck and right in the center was an eagle, just like my old one, but the most reassuring thing was that I still had my mother's necklace and unlike before it was now visible to the world around it.

"ICHIGO ARE YOU OK"

I looked up and saw Ichigo group of friends running towards us.

"Yer but" he mumbled

I saw everyone's eyes upon me but I didn't care because now I could go home.

"Yuki, I'm sorry" he spoke

"Don't worry, I think this is what I have always wanted, because now I can go home" I said smiling

"Yuki, you don't have a chain, why?" pointed out Rukia

"Well it's because I was never human, sorry but could you please not mention this to anyone, it's kinda a secret"

They nodded.

I stood up and went towards Ichigo

"Thank you, but do you mind sending me off now, I don't want to really get eaten by a hollow, besides there is something I have got to do"

"Alright, don't move this shouldn't hurt a bit"

"Why do you look so sad, this wasn't your fault, but could you please tell my mother thank you for looking after me for all these years and not to worry, and can you hide my body?"

", but why, aren't you shocked that your dead, that you could never see her again and doesn't she need some closer ALL YOUR DOING IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR HER"

"Its ok, because once I become a soul reaper I can come back here and visit, and then maybe I can finally fulfill my goal, so thank you"

I closed my eyes and felt the hilt of his sword on my forehead, then everything when black.
