Chapter 5 – Senna, The Reality
"Was yesterday just a dream? No, it was not yesterday actually. It was just hours ago, the sweet dawn when I met him." I spoke to myself. Besides, it was not a dream also. I gained my shinigami power again. I took some of Ichigo's actually.
The more I contemplated the matter, the greater the feeling of uncertainty grew inside my heart. Could it be really him? We had been separated for years, yet we met again. It was like an event that came only for once in a blue moon. Nevertheless, I could not run away from the good fact that he was real, neither an image nor a phantasm. His eyes, his look, his eyes on me were all the same, very identical as before. He even protected me again from that strange being and sacrificed himself again to safe me. His sense of justice to protect people even the ones he did not even know, including me, had never changed.
"When would we be together? A unity which would never break to rupture even when the sands of time had ended." a question conjured up inside my mind. "What are you thinking about, Senna? You are not going to involve him once again to this complicated perilous destiny of yours. Not again! You have to bear the full responsibility of it, yourself… It is your destiny, your fate and your life after all." I spoke to myself, again. The only way for me to make him uninvolved was to avoid him. I should not meet him again at any cost. I should not resurrect the trigger which would recover his memory. He should not know, he must not know.
Just few seconds after my meditation finished, there was a huge explosion. The gargantuan explosion was so strong that even I who was few kilometers away, I think, could feel the heat, the aura, and lastly I could feel a deep feeling of anger. The sound of the crash was so deafening and loud that it could break any glass. Wondering what was happening just outside, I ran towards the terrace to see the situation. It was an irony. While the sun shone brilliantly, emitting its golden glow which spread across the sky and chased the dark clouds away, yet, a dense curtain of black miasma came up from a huge thing which had crushed the earth.
Just then, I saw Ichigo and a girl, I did not know who, running swiftly towards the explosion source. Was she coming here to meet me? No. "Why should a person of high sense of justice come to this Northern Area just to see a girl? He did not remember who I was after all." I murmured desperately, forgetting the fact that there had been a strange explosion.
