Julian's POV

"Courtney!!" I called out as she fell to the ground.

"NO!! You won't die! I won't let you!" I said, holding her.

"It may be too ..... late.." Courtney said, struggling to breathe.

"No...." I said to myself.

I put my hand to her side, and my hand started to glow.

".....what.... what are you doing?" Courtney asked, weakly.

Tears streamed from my face, as I received the pain she had in her wound.

"Remember, use this ability ONLY, and only in a life-or-death situation. Okay?"

"Okay, Yoruichi. I will."

That memory played through my head as Courtney's wound disappeared, and re-appeared onto my side. It wasn't that bad. The wound healed, though. Much quicker than anyone I know.

"What happened?" Courtney asked, scratching her head.

"I took your pain away. And since I'm a fast healer, I don't feel a thing." I said smiling.

"Why are you smiling?" She asked, tilting her head.

"I remember now. Everything. My past... everything. And... it's all thanks to you." I said, smiling again.

"You mean, you remember what you tried to figure out?" I nodded.

"Come on." I said, helping her out.

"We need to get back."

The real world...

When I woke up, I took a look around me.  A white room, with a window behind me. I'm in a hospital.

I noticed the bed to my right. Courtney was waking up as well. She stretched, and let out a yawn.

I walked over to her bed, and said:

"Morning, sleepyhead." I messed her up a bit, before she fixed it, and replied with a smile.

"Morning, Julian."

Her smile would cheer up anybody. Even if they were in a bad mood.

I helped her stand up. When she stood up, Rangiku walked in, and was surprised. So was I. I was surprised, because well, I never expected to see her up this early. It's about 7:30.

"I never thought you two wouldn't wake up! I'm glad you're up and walking about!" She said, hugging us.

"Rangiku! You're smothering us!" Courtney and I said, in unison.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" She said, letting us go.

"So, when's the beach party?" I asked her.

"Oh, actually, that's what I wanted to talk about! It's tomorrow at 12'O clock! See you then!" She said, waving as she shut the door.

"Come on, Courtney." I said, holding her hand, as we walked out of the door. When we reached the hallway, I pulled her onto my back, and ran down the stairs. When we reached the lobby, I spoke to the person who was working, and they said that we can leave. I thanked her, and walked out.

When we were at the front of the building, I put Courtney down. I suddenly realized somrthing. My hands! They're real!

"WOOHOO!!!!!" I yelled, punching the air.

"What is it?" Courtney asked.

"My arms!! They're real!! You have no idea how long I wanted to be able to feel! YEAH!!!" I jumped into the air, doing the heel click.

I touched Courtney's face, testing if this was a dream. It wasn't. Her face felt smooth.

"What are you doing?" She exclaimed, blushing.

"I can really feel...." I said, blushing also. I took my hand away, feeling akward. She twisted her strands of hair in her fingers, nervously.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" I asked her, breaking the silence. She nodded, smiling.
