The Mysteries of This Life
Chapter 29: Restart the Young Love
I picked up the house key and started to silently open the door. My mom appeared behind me. I stopped my actions once I felt her presence.
"Where are you going?"
"I was going to make a surprise breakfast but I need to buy some ingredients."
"Go find Uryu," she told me simply.
"But I!"
"No buts. Go find him." My hands fell to my side in reply. "What's wrong sweetie?"
"He's probably moved on by now."
"Oh, come here sweetie." I turned around and walked over to her tender voice. She grabbed my shoulders and started shaking my body violently. "You are 25 years old! I shouldn't have to give you boy advice!"
"Ahh! Ok, ok!" She stopped and I left to go change. I came down in a skirt and button up shirt. "Bye."
"Bye! Enjoy finding your little boyfriend!"
"Mom!"
"Bye Yamasorrowichi!" I frowned and left. I walked around the town, thinking for a while before actually starting to look for him. He wasn't at Sunflower Seams or any other place I knew he liked. Around noon, I stopped at a convenience store to buy some onigiri and a few juice boxes. I left and ate in the park nearby. I got full quickly and fed the local birds onigiri rice while couples walked by and gave me weird looks.
"Yamasorrowichi!" I looked at the voice to give Orihime and her two children a smile. She walked up to me and stood in front of the bench.
"Hi Orihime. It's good to see you here." The angry child from when I had been to their house gave me a glare like Ichigo would. "You are definitely your father's son."
"What are you doing here?"
"Feeding birds."
"Why?"
"I don't want the food."
"But you're always hungry."
"When I exert myself. I just did a little walking." She sat on the bench next to me while her two children ran around playing tag.
""What's wrong?"
"I'm lacking courage and knowledge in boys."
"You've fallen out of love with Uryu?" she asked quite loudly.
"No! I! I still love him. I'm just too scared to go find him and tell him." I stared at the birds.
"Yamasorrowichi, I always remembered you as strong, smart, beautiful, and, most of all, one of the bravest people I have ever met. You can handle this." I gave her a small smile.
"Thanks Orihime," I told her with a small smile. "You've changed so much in those ten, long years I was away." Her grumpy son ran up, followed by his bubbly sister.
"This is my son, Haru. He's five. This is my daughter, Michiko. She's turning four next week."
"They're cute."
"I'm not cute! Boys aren't cute!"
"Actually, they are. The boyfriend I had in high school was really cute." I sensed a hollow nearby and looked in the direction. I stared and started to run with a wave and a goodbye. I found the hollow quickly and popped out of my body. Yami and I stood there as our usual soul reaper, zanpakto team.
"Hyper erotic mode was activated! This could end badly!" I froze at the voice.
"What the hell is hyper erotic mode?"
"Boobalicious!" I screamed and jumped away from the offending forearms.
"Leave me alone so I can kill the hollow!"
"Chizuru! She's not the enemy!" I jumped in my body and glared at her.
"I remember you! You're such a beautiful woman!"
"Touch me with that boobalicious thing again, and I'll sick Tatsuki on you. Now I'm going to pop out of my body to kill that hollow so don't move a muscle until I get back in!"
"Alright," she told me with a hint of disappointment evident in her voice. I popped out of my body again and stabbed the hollow in the back of the head. It disappeared to the soul society since I had cleansed it. I jumped back in my body and gave Chizuru a glare.
"Now I'll deal with you. Chizuru! You attacked me with something called hyper erotic mode! That was inappropriate and totally uncalled for!" I took a deep breath and looked at Karakura Cop's lame team while they realized it really was the person that left ten years before. "Does anyone know where I can find Uryu? I've been searching all day long."
"I'm right here." I turned around and saw him standing in the entrance to the alley.
"Uryu! It's you!" I ran forward and wrapped my arms around him. "You're finally real and not a dream. I hate that I was gone for ten whole years,"
"Are you really here or have I finally gone crazy?"
"I'm really here Uryu. I got my memories back a short time ago. Today is the first day I didn't have to rest from the strain it put on me. I just wish I had never lost them."
"I'm just happy you're back now." He wrapped his arms around my waist and held me close.
"That monster was attacking this defenseless spirit!"
"Can you help us Miss Yamasorrowichi?"
"Of course Ururu." My body went limp in Uryu's arms. I pulled out Yami and knelt in front of the frightened spirit.
"No. Please. I'm unfit for the life of someone in hell!"
"I'm sending you to a nice peaceful place called the soul society. Just calm down and relax. Close your eyes and you'll be there before you know it." I gave him a gentle smile and lightly tapped Yami's hilt against his head. He started to disappear. "Now pass on and enjoy."
"Thank you." He disappeared in the ground. I got up and looked at Tatsuki.
"Have you seen Orihime's kids?"
"Yeah."
"Aren't they just absolutely adorable?"
"Yeah." I skipped over to my body and slipped in after she answered. Uryu had slowly lowered me to the ground. I jumped up with a bright smile. "I want ice cream! Does anyone else?"
"Can it be just me and you?" Chizuru asked in a flirty way.
"If no one else wants ice cream." I looked at Uryu with a pleading look.
"I'm not hungry for ice cream though," she said.
"Then don't come. I want ice cream so I'm getting ice cream."
"I'll go with you," Uryu said before Chizuru could continue flirting with me. She continued anyways. I didn't care as long as I had Uryu.
(A/N: I graduated from high school! Finally! I may have more time to write in college. I actually got an A on my final for precal. I still had a C overall though. Oh well. I did my best. I'm just not good with math. Anyways, boredom inspired me to write a new chapter for this. I hope you enjoyed! Review? I only own Yama-chan (cause I'm too lazy to spell out her whole name). I never have and never will own Bleach.)
