That Time (Bleach Love Story)

Chapter 5

"Thanks for letting me borrow your notes, Chad." I said, as I handed Chad his notes from first class.

"No problem, Blossom." Chad waved as he left with Mizuiro and Keigo.

Ichigo and I walked the opposite direction of them.

I know that Ichigo could feel those heavy air too. But, nothing seemed to be troubling him. I guess he didn't feel the heavy air at lunch.

It wouldn't hurt to ask.

"Ichigo, at lunch did you feel that heavy air?" I asked.

Ichigo looked at me and shook his head. "I honestly didn't feel any of the heavy air today. Aside from the monster actually."

"You felt the monster give off the heavy air?" I looked at him confusingly.

He nods his head. "I know it came from the monster, because when that girl killed it... The air returned to normal."

Maybe that heavy air, it could have come from that man. But, he's not a monster. Should I tell Ichigo? No, it's best if I keep this to myself. He would probably worry.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow?" Ichigo asked, as he stopped in front of my house.

I laughed and gave him a smile. "Of course."

He smiled as well and gave me a hug. I returned the hug as well.

After Ichigo walked to his house, I walked inside mine and locked the door. I closed my eyes, as I leaned my back against the door.

(flashback)

"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" I yelled.

I remember seeing their faces smiling at me everytime I arrive home. Welcoming me back home. How can such happy people...

The day we went out to celebrate my birthday, was when we ate out. We didn't have a car so we walked.

After eating out, we walked back home around midnight. Only to be stopped by a man. He asked for money, which my mom gave. Then, asked for my mom. My father got angry and attacked the man. Soon, my mom helped.

My eyes widened as I heard gunshots. I felt blood splatter on my face. I was afraid. Frozen in fear.

My parents were killed in front of me. The man pointed a gun at me, I just closed my eyes. But, nothing happened.

"Stupid." I heard someone say.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw the man knocked out. I looked at the guy who had his foot on the man's face. It was a classmate of mine, Grimmjow Jaegerjaque. He saved my life. Even though I never spoke to him at school.

As I cried during my parents grave, rain had poured. No one showed up at the funeral, except for the priest. But...

"Hey, you're going to get sick." Someone said.

I turned around and saw him. "You're... Grimmjow Jaegerjaque."

He nods his head and covered me with his umbrella. I then realized he was wearing a black sleeveless top and black baggy pants.

I then stared at my parents grave, the grave of the people I would never see again.

Grimmjow pats my head out of nowhere. "Listen. I know I'm a total stranger. Just classmate and all. But.. Shit. Hard to explain. There's this song. The lyrics was, 'When you're feeling lost and don't know what to do-"

"Just look and see me... Calling out to you... It's that song called, Serenade." I spoke softly.

The moment those lyrics were said, I realized Grimmjow wanted to be there for me. He wanted me to go to him if everything was going tough.The one I can depend on.

(End of flashback)

"KARIN!!" I heard someone yell.

I opened my eyes and quickly got up. I had fallen asleep on my door. It was already dark outside. But, who was yelling?

I opened the door and felt the air get heavy. I froze only to see a giant monster in front of my home. Not only that, Ichigo and that girl who attacked the monster earlier was there too. She looked injured.

"My name is, Rukia Kuchiki." She said.

"Ichigo Kurosaki." He said.

She handed Ichigo something, I couldn't tell what is was. But, Ichigo was suddenly wearing the same outfit as the girl and was holding a giant sword.

The last thing I saw, was Ichigo jumping in the air and attacked the monster.
