My Love My Life (Ichigo Kurosaki)

Part 13

"How dare you defile her memory by bringing her into this, you disgusting freak, you make me sick!" Ichigo yelled running towards Grand Fisher getting ready to strike, but his Mother appeared in front of him, "Ichigo you mustn't do this, you mustn't hurt your Mother, please son you must put your sword down" she begged him making him stop, Ichigo then suddenly felt pain in his shoulder, where Grand Fisher had pierced it with his hair.  Jasmine's heart was breaking at the scene in front of her, but she could still feel something in the lure, it suddenly hit her on what it was, "and now with my next blow, I'll finish you off" Grand Fisher said getting ready to strike. Jasmine moved so quickly that Rukia didn't even notice, until she saw Jasmine appear in front of Ichigo and put a hand on his Mother's head, making a blast shoot from her, Jasmine kept her hand on the lure's head, and then reached out and held Ichigo's hand, and then he saw her, the real spirit of his Mother, "Mom, is that you?" he asked looking at the spirit as Jasmine kept a hold on them both, "what is she doing?" Ichigo yelled towards Rukia, "the lure must of recorded her last thoughts, at the very moment she was killed, The Red Reaper is releasing them for you Ichigo," Rukia explained amazed at what Jasmine was capable of, "her dying thoughts were recorded?" Ichigo asked looking at the Red Reaper, and then to his Mother, "Ichigo" his Mother began, "my son, I'm very proud of you, you and your Father, Karin and Yuzu, I am so lucky to have had those years with you all, and I know that because of the love that all of you share, you will always keep the family together and strong, even without me, Ichigo, live on my son, never lose that smile, the smile you always wore when you looked at me, thank you for loving me" his Mother said with so much love in her heart, and then she disappeared, Jasmine then let go of Ichigo's hand, and saw how in shock he was, "Mother, now I know what your last thoughts were" he said and drove his Zanpakuto into Grand Fisher slicing away, "curse you Soul Reaper, you haven't seen the last of me" Grand Fisher yelled and vanished, "coward!" Ichigo yelled at him as he watched him go in anger, he plunged his sword into the ground to hold himself up, "Ichigo it's over" Rukia said running up to him, "no it isn't, it won't ever be over until I've killed him, I have to, I have to avenge my Mother!" he yelled but then he started to fall, and Jasmine caught him as he fainted into her arms, "oh Ichigo" she sighed as she lowered him down to the ground and had his head in her lap.

"Jasmine" Rukia said with sadness in her voice, "I know, it won't be long before Byakuya finds me" Jasmine said as she stroked her hand on Ichigo's cheek, "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have called you, this is my fault" Rukia said lowering her head, "don't ever think that Rukia, I'm glad you called me, I would have been mad if you hadn't" Jasmine said looking up at her smiling, "but you released your spiritual pressure, it was so strong it would be impossible if Byakuya didn't feel it" Rukia said, "and I would do it again, if it meant you and Ichigo would be safe" Jasmine said looking back down to him, "Jasmine" Rukia sighed, Jasmine let a tear drop from her eye as she stared down at Ichigo, "I did it because I'm falling for him" Jasmine said and Rukia's eyes widened at what she said, "Rukia you have to promise me something" Jasmine said looking up at her with tears down her cheek, "I don't know how Byakuya is going to drag me back home, I can only imagine the worst, but when I do go, you have to promise me he still won't know the truth, he has to believe I just vanished, and he won't see me again" Jasmine said as she cried, "but Jasmine, he will be heartbroken" Rukia said as she couldn't believe what Jasmine was asking, "please Rukia, it's for his safety," Jasmine begged her, and Rukia nodded looking down. Jasmine looked down at Ichigo, and leaned down to kiss his forehead, "I'm so sorry Ichigo" she whispered. 

The next few days Jasmine has been on high alert, she knew any day now her brother would come for her, and she was running out of time to tell Ichigo how she really felt, "Jasmine? Are you coming to school today" Orihime said knocking on her bedroom door, "yeah, I'm coming" Jasmine said as she finished getting ready, she then left her bedroom and walked with Orihime to school, "so did you tell him?" Orihime asked, "I haven't had the chance yet" Jasmine said letting out a little giggle, she didn't want Orihime to worry for her, she wouldn't only miss Ichigo, but she would also miss the first friend she made here, "well you need to tell him soon, or he will think your not interested" Orihime said tapping her head. Once they reached the school, they went to their usual spot on the roof, where Jasmine saw Ichigo talking to his friends, but when his eyes landed on Jasmine, he gave her a smile, and told her to come over. When she was standing next to him, Ichigo leaned down and whispered in her ear, "follow me" he said, she looked at him and saw he had a smile on his face, she nodded and followed him to the other side of the roof. "I need to ask you something" he said and Jasmine waited for him to continue, "have you ever herd of a Soul Reaper called the Red Reaper?" he asked, Jasmine was shocked he brought it up, "I may have, why you ask?" she said looking out into the distance, "she helped me a few days ago, to reconnect with my Mother, I take it you herd of the Grand Fisher, he used my Mother to get to me, but this Red Reaper helped me to listen to my Mothers last thoughts, I wanted to thank her" Ichigo explained, "I'm sorry, I don't know her personally" Jasmine said feeling guilty, "I'm sure she knows your thankful" Jasmine said to him, and Ichigo nodded. 

"There was something else as well" Ichigo said catching her attention again, "I know we already had a conversation about how I feel about you, but let me take you out somewhere nice, to prove how much you mean to me" Ichigo said looking into her eyes, "Ichigo" Jasmine sighed about to tell him she may not be able to make it, "please Jasmine, just one chance" Ichigo said taking her hand in his, Jasmine felt her heart melt as he did this, and she just couldn't say no, and some alone time with him will give her the chance to tell him how she feels, "ok" she said giving him a smile, "that's great Jasmine, I'll come by your home tonight, and take you out, it's a date" he said smiling, which Jasmine gave one in return, "it's a date" Jasmine confirmed.

"Orihime what do you wear on a date?" Jasmine said going through her clothes in her wardrobe, "ok we need a serious makeover" Orihime said going into her room and coming back with a dress, some make up and a hair brush, "let's get to work" she said sitting Jasmine down and doing her hair, then a little bit of make up and made her put a blue flowered dress on, "Jasmine you look amazing, he is going to love you" Orihime said admiring her work, "you think?" Jasmine asked looking into the mirror, "absolutely" she said, then the door bell rang, it was time. 

Meanwhile

"When should we strike captain?" a certain red haired man said, "tonight, let her have her fun, because she will never see that boy again after tonight"
