[✅] Ichigo & Kisuke: Forever and Always

Chapter 28 [The End]

"How long will it be before she wakes up?" Ichigo thinks to himself as he stares out the hospital window of your room. The sun is just beginning to set. The golden orange color of the sun casts a gentle glow on the whiteness of the room. His thoughts wander as his brown eyes focus and follow the sun on its setting path. Questions race through his mind at a hundred miles per hour that he barely comprehends as he stares silently.

"Will (Name) live?"

"Will we have a life together?"

"If she dies, could we make it without her?"

"Would I be able to move on with my life?"

"Would I be able to find another women to love?"

"Would your death ruin my friendship with Kisuke?"

"Would he and I be able to work past our grief together?"

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

"(NAME)!!" Ichigo whirls around as the heart monitor begins to beat faster and faster. His brown eyes widen as you manage to push yourself up onto the pillows behind you farther. Ichigo can only gape at you as you stare into the corner of the room. He strides over and grips your hand as you give him a tired smile. He begins to choke on the tears that fall... You stare off into the corner before bowing your head a little. His gaze turns in the direction you're looking at and he is totally puzzled... What are you looking at? No one is there. It's just an empty corner. Ichigo looks back at you with a curious glance and you just smile at him with your pretty (color) eyes glowing with thankfullness.

"What are you looking at, (Name)?" He asks curiously without really caring for an answer. You smile at him again before shaking your head.

"Just saying goodbye to a friend of mine..." You whisper so quietly that he dosen't hear you so instead he bends down and presses his lips to yours. Almost instantly your hand goes up to tangle into his long orange hair. Ichigo pulls back and rests his forehead on yours.

"I promised you that no matter who or what split us apart, I would find my way back to you again and again." He grips your hand tightly and kisses your knuckles as his brown eyes water at the rememberence of the promise the two of you made to each other years ago.

"I love you (Name). Always,"

"And forever." You finish softly before pulling Ichigo into another lovely kiss.

Fast forward 26 years:

"Did that really happen to you and papa, mama?" A young teenage boy with dirty blonde hair asks, hazel eyes wide with fascinstion.

"Yes, Ichigo. It was the most amazing feeling in the world... The feeling when you fall in love all over again with your soul mate."

"ICHIGO!" Your son, Ichigo stiffens visibly before jumping to his feet and sprinting out the front door. You laugh as your second husband, Kisuke, storms into the room while holding a skate board. His face is tinted pink with anger.

"Where did he go (Name?)" You shrug innocently as you beckon him over to you. He stalks over angrily before his eyes widen in surprise as you pull him down into a heated kiss. His anger melts away and he cups the back of your head. He pulls away with a small smile as he stares down at you.

"Even after all these years and you still make me melt." Kisuke murmurs before leaning down to kiss you again.

"We should go out and join the rest of the family." You and Kisuke head outside to join your large family of nine children, four with Ichigo and five with Kisuke, while holding hands. You slowly make your way out to the small grave site where all the children are waiting with a rose in their hands. As the sun sets, a ray of light shines down onto a single grave. The headstone reads,

"Here lies Ichigo Kurosaki. A beloved husband, father, and friend who was taken away from us far too soon. May his soul rest in peace."

And over his grave stand the children of both Ichigo himself and Kisuke. You let a single tear fall as you place your rose down. A black butterfly comes in to rest on the rose before it flies off into the setting sun. You watch it with a small smile. Kisuke squeezes your hand gently and you smile at him before saying a silent prayer for your deceased lover. Ichigo had left three years ago due to cancer but you know he's still around even though you can't see him. He'd keep his promise and find a way to come back to you somehow... You'd wait for him no matter how long it took. You turn away from the small grave and follow Kisuke back into the small house where you and him spend the rest of your lives until you pass peacefully in your sleep. A few days later, your children find Kisuke who had also passed away peacefully in his sleep in the spot next to yours on the bed. You were buried between your two lovers and to this day, your children claim they can hear the three of you laughing happily after finding each other again.
