"I'm carrying a loaded rifle in one hand. 
I'm heading for you with quicked steps, knowing you're shaking  and shivering.

Tick tock, tick tock go the hands of the clock. 
They just spurred my flustered heart on. 
Tick tock, tick tock go the hands of the clock. 
They keep moving forward with  no sign of stopping.

Sealed in  a room devoid of others' warmth 
I'm stretching my cold hand forward. 
No one else knows where I am.

Tick tock, tick tock go the hands of the clock. 
It's the border-time,   the time between end and beginning. 
Tick tock, tick tock went the handsof the clock. 
They've all aligned!

I was waiting there speechless 
for a sorrow so deep it would  make me laugh. 
I was waiting there speechless 
for a joy so great it would bring  me to tears.

Tick tock, tick tock went the hands of the clock. 
As if to hound me 
Tick tock, tick tock went the hands of the clock. 
for not wanting to spend my days 
Tick tock , tick tock went the ,hands of the clock. 
desperately trying to weather the coming storm. 
Tick tock, tick tock went the hands of the clock. 
They've all aligned!

ONE WEEK LATER:

  Ichigo POV:

"Hey, Ichigo, it's morning get up! I warn you if you don't get your butt out of bed I will hide in your backpack and go to school with you so everyone will laugh about you !" Kon said  while Miyu stood up, punched him in the face and sent him flying.
"I can't have you starting the day like that. Act like a really toy animal and shut up!" she said annoyed. I would have probably said the same still my sister woke up a little moody today.
"I will not stand for this commotion. I like to dress  in peace." Rukia said as she opened the closet door and  started arguing with Kon...sometimes I have got this feeling that I am living in a nutshouse I was thinking when Yuzu said
"Knock Knock ....Ichigo, Miyuki I am coming in !" then she entered  the room to announce that  Keigo  and Mizuiro  were waiting for me.  I managed  to hide Rukia and  Kon in time  but I stopped  in a weird position.
"Just what are you doing?"
 "Me? What am I doing?...I'm doing yoga, you know stretching myself in new ways...I feel like I slept on a bus banch. " I lied nervouse while Miyu was laughing her heart out. We hurried and got dressed.  When we were ready to leave, Miyu said "Hey, Ichi-nii, I know it's weird but I just feel like I have forgotten something really important...do you know by any chance what?"
"No, but now that you mention it I kind of have the same feeling" I said while putting my watch on then it hit me
"It's tomorrow" I said. Her expression changed then she didn't answered anymore. Even on the way to school she just nodded here and there... although I can't blame her. She kind of showes her true emotion by being emotionless at least for those who truly know her...I mean me. I guess it's one of those times when she locks herself inside  and doesn't speak for days or hours not even to me although to me she would still answer some words.... but they weren't really needed after all looks were enough   to understand what she wants or what she's thinking about. While she lockes herself in I do the opposite although it's not willingly.

Miyuki POV:

...........................................................................

Orihime POV:

                          
As Ichigo and Miyuki entered the room I screamed:
"Hey good morning Ichigo, Miyuki!"
While Miyuki ignored me completely and just took her seat Ichigo to my surprise and other girl's too turned around
"Hey Orihime! How is it going?" he said while smiling...a fake smile, that I could tell. Tatsuki explained after asking what day today was, it is June 16th,
"Sometimes Ichigo hides his true feelings. He isn't  in a good mood ...he's acting nice but he's really tense today.... both he and his sister. It is just  that they express it in different ways.While Miyuki shuts everyone out except from maybe Ichigo.... Ichigo puts a mask on. I bet tomorrow neither he nor Miyuki will come to school"
I wish I could figure Ichigo too like Tatsuki...I never know what he is thinking or how he is feeling.

 Someoneelse POV:

 After they got home they made a family assemble to talk about tomorrow's event. While they were all speaking and sharing tasks for tomorrow's event they were also trying to cheer Miyuki up although they knew there was no point in doing so. She didn't speak at all, not even Ichigo is able to take her out off her mood although I'm sure he is the only one who can make her speak some words here and there and maybe even a smile but that's all. After the meeting was over they went in their room. Miyuki left to take a shower while Rukia was talking to Ichigo
"That sounds like fun!" she said
"So instead of going to school tomorrow you are having a family picnic...but I don't get something what's up with Miyuki?"  
"Rukia...I know we have serious responsibilities as  soul reapers but  I was wondering if we could  take tomorrow off?"
"What??? Are you crazy ?You two act strange all day and now you bring this up?"
"It's the anniversary of my mom's death...well actually it's not just the day she died .... it's when she was killed!"
After saying that Miyuki entered the room and went directly to bed. She crawled in and didn't say another word.... not even 'Good night'. Ichigo knew why but Rukia was confused. That night Miyuki and Ichigo had nightmares and they didn't close an eye  the whole night. She was sitting with her head on his chest and just listened...listened to his heartbeat, he was playing with her hair while both were remembering that day over and over again. Rukia heared them whispering but she wasn't sure if they were talking to each other or if they were just sleeptalking in the nightmare. But of one thing she was sure...she heard Miyuki  screaming
" No, No please don't !"
And after that she  heard them leaving the room and going on the roof. That was their favourite spot especially for nights like this.They just sat on the roof and watched the moon and stars until the sun rised.
