The Mysteries of This Life
Chapter 13: Another Day Out on the Street (Yamasorrowichi's point-of-view until I say otherwise)
"And the way he killed the hollows so easily was amazing."
"Yoko, I know that everything that happened yesterday was amazing but please stop repeating everything that you said about it. You've been saying the same things over and over again."
"Well you didn't notice his reaction to you kissing his cheek so I guessed you didn't notice anything else that had happened."
"Him stiffening and blushing is not exactly something very noticeable for me."
"He did more than that though."
"And what else was that? What else did he do?"
"He reached towards you as if he was going to pull you against him but decided against it. His eyes closed in a gentle and peaceful way. His face took on a blissful look. His mouth was open the whole time too. It was open before you kissed him, but the second you did it opened in a shocked and happy way."
"You're very descriptive. No more reading books over my shoulder."
"What were you dreaming about last night?"
"Why?"
"You kept saying that you missed Yu-kun. Who is Yu-kun? Is it a boy that Uryu needs to be jealous of?"
"No. He's my best friend from second grade. Ever since I arrived in Karakura, He's been in my dreams. It's been helping me remember a lot of things that I forgot. The dreams told me everything about those things." I pointed at the shelves that had the things from the package I got my first day here. Yoko looked at them.
"That explains a lot. You seemed to have a connection with that Yu-kun boy so I was worried that it would tear you and Uryu apart. You two are so happy and so cute together."
"You saw us on our first date which is rumored to be the easiest. Anyways I have to go soon to meet him for our second date."
"Where are you meeting him?"
"Why?" She just looked at me innocently. "You can't come with us Yoko."
"But my chain is attached to you now. I have regrets related to you after meeting you so my chain attached itself to you so now I have to follow you."
"I have a crazy idea. Why don't you deal with your regrets and pass on. I'm sure that you'll go someplace nice."
"But I want to stay with you."
"Well you can't follow me everywhere."
"But I have to."
"Settle your regrets. The longer you stay here, the more hollows you attract. I don't want one of them to eat you. So just pass on."
"I'll try."
"And I'll be going." I got up and left. I met Uryu at the fair we went to yesterday. He smiled the moment he saw me. Once I got to him he hugged me.
"Hi Yamasorrowichi. It's great to see you."
"It's great to see you too Uryu. What's the plan for today?"
"Well I thought we'd stay here for a while and then go for a walk. After the walk I'd take you home and see you at school tomorrow."
"Sounds great. Let's get me home before 10 today so I don't get in trouble though."
"Alright." And that marked the beginning of our date. We went on a lot of rides again. It was a lot of fun. After we had our fun on the rides we went for a walk around town. We didn't really pay attention to where we were going and we ended up at the river. "This has to have a gravitational pull to it or something. We always end up here," I said as I hooked my arms to Uryu's. I smiled as he stared off in thought.
"I guess it does. Maybe it has a special value to it."
"Well this is the place where we went at the beginning of our first date together. And before that we had both gone for walks here with our best friends. Of course we can't remember their names but it's still special that we remember walking here with them."
"That's probably it." I sighed and laid my head on his arm. The sun was starting to set and I stared at the colors of the sky.
"Isn't the sky beautiful Uryu?"
"The whole scene is beautiful." I looked at the river and the way the sky melded with the building on the other side. I saw the reflection in the water.
"It really is." I closed my eyes and felt the wind blow. I listened to the running water of the river and opened my eyes in time for the most colorful part of the sunset. I watched with interest as the colors painted the sky many different colors. The colors faded away and it got dark. "It's very dark right now. The lights aren't really lighting up the banks of the river so it's hard to see."
"The moon and stars will be out soon."
"This is the best place to look at the stars. The lights don't reach here in the best way so it's easy to see the stars. The only bad part is coming at the right time of year. Right now it's late autumn. The nights are going to be getting cold soon. This is one of the better nights to come out here." He just stood there for a while before agreeing with me. He might've nodded before but I couldn't see it if he did. We stood there for a long time. It slowly started to get brighter as the moon and stars came out. I looked up at the lights of the night sky. They were beautiful to look at. We started walking again after a while of looking at the stars. I got closer to him and held his arm tighter. We walked for a long time occasionally stopping to look at the stars. It started to get cold as it got later in the night. He turned around and started heading back to my temporary home. I went along with him. We got there right when Urahara poked his head out the door to look for me. Once he saw me he went back inside and closed the door without locking it. "Looks like we made it just in time."
"Does he always do that?"
"If I'm out at night he does that before locking the door. Well goodnight Uryu. I'll see you tomorrow at school." I let go of his arm and walked to the door. When I reached for the door, he called out to me.
"Yamasorowichi-chan." I stopped dead in my tracks. I couldn't move as I thought of my best friends from my childhood. Yu-kun had always called me Yamasorrowichi-chan in my dreams. I snapped back to my senses and slowly turned around to face him. I was confused about why I had freaked out over him calling me that. A lot of people had in the past and even since I had started school here at Karakura High School. Once I was fully facing him, he surprised me by giving me a quick kiss on the cheek. When he pulled away from me, he just turned and left waving goodbye to me. I blushed furiously about the kiss and touched my cheek gently with my fingers.
"What was that all about?" I yelped at the sound of Yoko's voice behind that which just made the little spirit girl laugh at me.
"Don't scare me like that Yoko!"
"Sorry. Hahaha. I didn't mean to. Hahaha." Urahara appeared behind Yoko.
"Yoko has been waiting for you all day Yamasorrowichi," he said as he placed a hand on her head. "So has your guest."
"My guest?"
"Yes. The mystery caller."
"Mystery caller?"
"The person that had called for you a couple of days ago."
"Oh. And who is that exactly?"
"It's me of course." I straightened up and stopped breathing at the sound of the voice. I looked behind Urahara at the man standing there. I started to breathe in short ragged gasps at the sight of him.
"Dad," I breathed. I couldn't believe my eyes. He simply nodded at me. I walked past Yoko and Urahara and jumped into my father's arms with tears of joy streaming down my face. I felt as if I hadn't seen him in years when I had just seen him a little over a month and a half ago hadn't I? He hugged me tight and held me close as I cried into his shoulder about how much I had missed him. That night he told me why he had taken so long to come to Karakura to find me. He told me that the next day, I would have to go to our old house after school. I nodded as he told me about his plans to move my things back to our old house. After he had gone to sleep in another room of the house, I packed my things in boxes with great care and closed them. I laid down and curled up in a ball like I did when I was little. It took me a while, but I eventually fell asleep and had dreams about my dad and my best friend from my childhood.
(A/N: So that was chapter 13. How was it? Please review and tell me if you liked it of hated it or want to kill me for make it so bad. I need reviews! And when I say I need them I mean I NEED them to not cry myself to sleep at night. Ok I won't do that but please review. I don't own Bleach or its characters. I only own Yamasorrowichi, her dad, and Yoko! In case you can't tell I like Yoko. She's my favorite one to write about at the time being. The song I listened to for this chapter is Slow Dance With a Stranger by Danger Radio. I don't own that song either. Please review so you can get a virtual pie. Have a great day!)
