Prompt: Promise

Title: Let's Talk More, Okay?

Bleach(c) Tite Kubo

Story (c) Yours Truly


"I want to ask you a favor. . .I'll be born again as a human, so, if we meet again, then, let's talk more okay?"

The young woman smiled at him as she was taken away by the petite shinigami and Ichigo nodded in agreement to her request, waving goodbye.

The years passed, Ichigo lived his life as a normal teenager, grew old, and died happily


*many years later*

A little girl, whose caramel orange hair was adorned by blue flower pins, hid behind her older brother as she entered the classroom on her first day of preschool.

"Come on now, there's no need to be shy. I'm sure you'll make lots of friends."

She pouted, "But Soraaaa."

"No buts," he chided. "Look, why don't you sit by that young boy over there?"

Sora pointed to a little boy who stood out among his classmates because of his bright orange, unruly hair. His brown eyes were warm and kind, and as he smiled at his mother while he waved goodbye it seemed to brighten the room.

The little girl went up to the boy as he sat down and began to color messily with his crayons.

"Um, may I sit with you?"

The boy looked up and smiled, "Uh huh, sure," He scooted over so they could share the bench together.

"Would you like to color with me?"

"Please."

The two of them talked about all sorts of things and before they knew it school had come to an end and it was time for the two of them to go home.

"My name is Ichigo. What's yours?"

"Orihime."

"Let's sit together again tomorrow, okay Orihime?"

She smiled, "Okay, Ichigo."


Author's Note:

Day Two of IchiHime Month!

Today's prompt is "Promise", and I was inspired by the pilot chapter in Bleach (Did anyone notice?)

Reviews are appreciated :)

Take care and God bless,
