This story will be told in Ichigo's perspective.
I was going to have multiple chapters until I realized my idea for each is short.
So it will only have three to four chapters.
Disclaimer-I do not own Bleach. I own whar (eternal peace).
It felt like years since she left my life, since she disappeared. In reality it had only been one day. Everyone around me acted as if she didn't exist. I was almost convinced she was, but then I'd remember that red ribbon, that once belonged to her, was laying on my desk; a reminder.
Senna is real.
Though for some odd reason I felt as if someone was following to and from school. I turned around and yelled, "I know you're out there. Just come the hell out already!" But as soon as I said it, the presence disappeared, which creep me out.
When I got home that night, I didn't eat. My excuse? "I ate something on the way home." A lie. Yuzu will forgive me, I hope.
All I did was stare at the ceiling, wishing Senna was alive once more. A few moments before I fell asleep, a note appeared beside me.
Day 1
We fear that which we cannot see.
Before I could think any more about it, I was already dreaming.
When I woke up the next morning, the note disappeared. In its place was an autumn leaf, the same type that appeared when she used her zanpakuto. Being careful to not break the fragile object, I laid it on my desk.
I was out the door in less than ten minutes. I didn't eat breakfast again. "I'll eat something on the way," I told Yuzu. Another lie.
Someone's going to notice soon.
School was a blur to me, all remember is the last bell ringing.
As I walked home, I saw a little girl playing on the road. A truck came speeding toward her, yet she didn't notice. I was about to go push her out of the way until she jumped onto the sidewalk, just as the truck passed by.
The girl skipped around the corner, having no clue how close she was to death.
I thought about that miracle as I walked into my house. Sadly, supper was done. "I'm not hungry." Not a lie this time, but an excuse.
The only good thing that has happened to me this week was the leaf. Luckily it was still on my desk in the same condition it was when I left.
Once more I stared at the ceiling, but this time I thought about the girl.
Soon enough I became drowsy. When I did, another note appeared.
Day 2
People have hope
Because they cannot see Death standing behind them
"How ironic," I thought before falling into deep sleep.
Another morning, another note turned into a leaf. My routine was the same as the two days before, except it was raining outside.
"Don't forget an umbrella Ichi-nii!" Yuzu yelled from the kitchen
I rolled my eyes and grabbed one of the ones in the closet. Before I walked out the door I heard Karin mutter, "That is not our Ichigo."
School wasn't any better. Everyone questioned me. They all wonder why I haven't talked to them or my other friends. "I'm not feeling good," was my answer. Another excuse, another lie.
During class I sat by the window and tried to find the highest building through the rain. Senna loved high places. When I was in my 'trance' the teacher called on me, but I wouldn't move, according to one of my friends. The only thing I heard was the bell.
Home was still the same routine. Lying about eating before coming home, walking up stairs, and staring at the ceiling until I fall asleep.
Another letter appeared as usual.
Day 3
If I were rain
That joins sky and earth that otherwise never touch
Could I join two hearts as well?
And like usual I fell asleep.
I woke again with another leaf by my side. Just one question. Where do they keep coming from?
The rain stopped which was good. I walked downstairs, wearing my school uniform, about to leave when Dad blocked the doorway.
"Yes?" I asked.
"How's everything at school?" he asked.
"It's fine."
"Then why haven't you participated in class or turned in your homework?"
Shit. "I've been tired. That's all." Why can't I stop lying? "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going." I pushed past him and walked out the door.
School was the same. Not hearing anything and going home when the bell ringed.
Lying on my bed started becoming comfortable. Before going to sleep, the note appeared.
Day 4
We are drawn to each other
Like drops of water, like the planets
We repulse each other
Like magnets, like the colors of our skin
"Who are you?" I muttered everything going black.
Another leaf by my side, but this time having an orange hue to it.
I went to school quicker than usual. Someone texted me last night while I was sleeping. Our class would be going to a field trip today. They didn't tell me where, so I thought nothing of it.
Turns out the field trip was to the festival/amusement park; the same one she and I went to.
I didn't want to be here.
Everywhere I turned, I was reminded of her. Reminded how I let her down. How I couldn't save her.
It was past midnight when the teacher, I can't remember her name, decided it was time for us to go. As we left I couldn't stop staring at the Ferris Wheel, the ride she always wanted to go on.
I almost passed out when I landed on my bed. Another note appeared again.
Day 5
I can't protect you without a sword
I can't embrace you while holding a sword
Those words were sadly true for me.
But who keeps writing them?
