Moment Twelve : Ichigo (Bleach)


Kagome closed her eyes watching as Ichigo moved around as if on auto pilot, it had been three days since he lost all of his powers.

Three days since her Ichigo lost his spark.

Three days since he was able to see her.

Three days since she was able to speak to him.

A bitter smile made its way to her face. It seemed like destiny really didn't want her to keep her loved ones.

"Kagome" turning she saw her Rukia, she gave her a sad smile which Kagome tried to return.

"Hello Rukia." it was whispered as Kagome continued to watch the man she loved finish his homework, or try to as he kept looking back out the window as if waiting for something but it never came.

"How are you doing?" Rukia asked, eyes looking at the orange haired boy with a fond smile. Rukia would miss him, he had become a big part of her life.

Kagome stayed silent for a few moments, "I will be...eventually" She knew it was true, she would heal. She always did. It didn't mean it hurt any less.

Rukia sighed, "The Commander sent me here." She paused seeing Kagome stiffen, "He wants you back in Soul Society. He doesn't want you lingering here anymore."

It hurt for Kagome to hear it, but she knew that it was going to come sooner or later.

She let her hangs cover her eyes, "I understand." With what needed to be said Rukia gave her a small smile and disappeared after she gave the boy that had started to feel life family one last look.

Kagome took a deep breath, she knew she was needed elsewhere, as Rukia had said, and she couldn't stay no matter how much she wanted too.

"Goodbye Ichigo..." She paused looking at him one last time before she jumped out the window, the last word hanging in there air making Ichigo snap his head to where Kagome had just been.

If only she stayed a second longer.
