Chapter 1033 Your Reality

I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.

Recorder was at school with Natsuki in the club room.

"So what do you do anyway, outside of reading?" She asked him.

He thinks about it, he tries to think it a answer that makes him be more normal.

"Be with my friends." He said.

She raises an eyebrow. "You have friends? Like real ones?"

"Yes." He nodded.

"Okay, I didn't expect that." She said. "It must be nice having real friends."

He looks at her and she has a frown.

"Look I need to go." She goes out before he grabs her arm.

"Wait." He tries to stop her but she pulled him and it caused both to fall down.

He was on top of her and he noticed her scared expression.

"What?" He stares at her.

From his data memories he knows that look, it's the look of someone that was abused.

"Did someone hurt you?" He asked.

She got surprised. "How?"

"Your own expression." Recorder answered it.

She looks to the side. "It was my father."

They were now sitting against the wall and she had a sad look.

"He is a drunk and slob, after my mom was gone he hit me and even destroyed things that I like because to him it's worthless." She told him.

"So that's why you keep your manga here." Recorder said.

She nodded. "It's the only place it's safe, and if I don't come back in a certain, he'll get angry, this place is the only time I feel safe."

He then holds her and she got surprised. "I'll keep you safe."

"Really?" She asked.

"Yes, I can't let you go back to that place." He said.

She smiles at his words and hugs him back.

Recorder told her to get her stuff from school and he'll take her after class.

He goes out and he saw Monika. "Well it seems you've been helping her."

"She needed someone to help." He said.

"I understand it's very nice of you to do it. You know, I have nothing better to do, would you like to help me out again for a few stuff for the club?" She asked.

She always asks Recorder to help her out since she can trust him, they've hanged out many times and she got very happy being with Richard.

"I'll have to see, since I got something to do." Recorder said.

"Oh okay, we'll see you tomorrow." She said.

He walks away as she stares at him with her smile but theres a bad feeling coming off of her.

Later

Natsuki arrives at Recorder's house with her bag and she knocks on the door. "Richard?"

He opens it for her. "Welcome Natsuki."

She goes inside and looks around. "Well it's nice."

"Thank you." He said.

She goes to the couch and sits down with him doing the same.

Natsuki relaxes a bit and she feels safer here than at her own house.

She smiles and said: "Thanks for letting me stay here."

"I can't let a good friend get hurt." He said.

She turns the TV on and saw many dresses for a cosplay store.

Her eyes widen and he stares at her. "You like cute things?"

"What?! No of course not." She looks away.

"Theres no shame to it, your allowed to like what you want." He said.

"Well okay." She said.

She gets call and answers it. "Hello?"

"Where the Hell are you?!" Her father yells inside of the phone.

She got surprised to hear him while Recorder narrows his eyes.

"You better come back or i'll-"

Recorder takes the phone. "She won't be coming back."

"Who are you little bastard?!" He demanded.

"I have no reason to tell you my name, but she won't be coming so you better stay away if it's good for you." Recorder threaten him before ending the call.

Natsuki got stunned to see that he stood up for her.

"If he comes here, he will get it." He looks at her.

She smiles and hugs him. "Thank you."

He smiles and hugs her back.

She stays at his house for the day, Recorder was resting on his bed and he saw Natsuki come on wearing a white shirt that belonged to him since he didn't have much clothes for her.

"Richard... Can I stay with you?" She asked.

He stares at her and smiles before he made space for Natsuki, she lies down and rests at his side.

"Remember when I said that stuff if your really like them?" She said.

"Yes." He nodded.

Natsuki smiled. "I... Really like you."

She holds him and he held her as they slept in the bed together.

Next day

Natsuki wakes up and gets up to see she's in Recorder's room.

"It wasn't a dream." She said.

Natsuki goes outside and saw Recorder at the kitchen, he was cooking and looks at her.

"Hey." He said.

She smiles and sits at the table. "I didn't expect you would cook for me."

"It's the least I can do." He gives her a plate and they went to eat.

They heard police alarms and he goes to a window to see the fat slob that's her father with the Police.

"Inside this house he kidnapped my daughter so get her out." He said.

Natsuki got scared and Recorder looks at her. "Go to my room."

She nodded and runs to hide.

Recorder goes to the door, Natsuki's father goes to the door but then it opened to see Recorder with his arms crossed.

"Got a lot of nerve coming here." Recorder said.

"That's what you think, get him!" Slob looks back but saw the Police were in a trance. "What are you doing?! Get him!"

"Leave." Recorder said as they left shocking the so called father.

"What?" He looks at Recorder before he saw that his body changed to it's true avatar form.

The man got scared seeing him since it looks like a demon staring down at him.

"You will not survive." Recorder said.

The man screams before he gets turned into dust.

Natsuki waited before Recorder came back in his human form.

"It's over." He said.

She smiles and hugs him. "Richard, I don't know what to say, I love you."

He hugs her back to make her happy.

Natsuki char. Deleted successfully.

He then saw her vanish and he screams. "Nooooo!" He reaches out but she was gone leaving only a poem.

Your mind is so full of troubles and fears

That diminished your wonder over the years

But today I have a special place

A beach for us to go.

A shore reaching beyond your sight

A sea that sparkles with brilliant light

The walls in your mind will melt away

Before the sunny glow.

I'll be the beach that washes your worries away

I'll be the beach that you daydream about each day

I'll be the beach that makes your heart leap

In a way you thought had left you long ago.

Let's bury your heavy thoughts in a pile of sand

Bathe in sunbeams and hold my hand

Wash your insecurities in the salty sea

And let me see you shine.

Let's leave your memories in a footprint trail

Set you free in my windy sail

And remember the reasons you're wonderful

When you press your lips to mine.

I'll be the beach that washes your worries away

I'll be the beach that you daydream about each day

I'll be the beach that makes your heart leap

In a way you thought had left you long ago.

But if you let me by your side

Your own beach, your own escape

You'll learn to love yourself again.

He holds it and looks down. "Natsuki."

Then something happened as the world changed, he appears in his uniform sitting on a desk and in front of him is Monika.

"Monika?" He said.

"Yeah, it was me Richard, but the reason for this is because I love you." She said.

He got stunned and noticed the world outside was like the void of space, what did she do.

"I've been trying to make you happy and the others, but I couldn't resist it, so Richard will you be my boyfriend, don't you love me?" She asked.

He looks at her and said: "I do..." That made her smile. "But I don't want the girls to vanish."

She got surprised at that. "What?"

"Monika, I can understand you felt alone, but taking everything away won't much, all you did was make me feel bad." He said.

"But... I did this for us... What should I have done?" She starts to cry.

"You should have been truthful instead of forcing others to be what you want, you have all these powers and you abused them." He said.

She looks down. "How can we even bring them back then, they're gone."

He changes to his normal form surprising her.

"You couldn't manipulate us because this is a avatar." He shows a portal and she saw his true form.

"So that's why... You were more special than what I thought." She smiles.

She saw crystals that have the bodies of Yuri, Sayori and Natsuki.

"My memories of them will always last." True Recorder said.

"Then we can still bring them back." She said. "Also before we go."

She makes a piano appear and starts to play a Song.

Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you

In my hand is a pen that will write a poem of me and you

The ink flows down into a dark puddle

Just move your hand - write the way into his heart!

But in this world of infinite choices

What will it take just to find that special day?

What will it take just to find that special day?

Have I found everybody a fun assignment to do today?

When you're here, everything that we do is fun for them anyway

When I can't even read my own feelings

What good are words when a smile says it all?

And if this world won't write me an ending

What will it take just for me to have it all?

Does my pen only write bitter words for those who are dear to me?

Is it love if I take you, or is it love if I set you free?

The ink flows down into a dark puddle

How can I write love into reality?

If I can't hear the sound of your heartbeat

What do you call love in your reality?

And in your reality, if I don't know how to love you

I'll leave you be

The world then flashed, Recorder was in his human form with the girls including Monika smiling at a table together.

The two managed to restore the world back to what it was with the girls inside the club room like nothing happened.

And he was happy to have them all together.

"Well girls we have a long work ahead of us, so let's do our best." Monika said.

"Yeah!" The three said.

They then hugged Recorder and he smiles as they all loved him with all of they're hearts.

Note: Doki Doki arc is done, Recorder cared for Monika but he wasn't going to let nobody else die.
