Perfection For Us (Bleach Story) Ch.83 The End Or Merely A Beginning

It was finally over. Most of the repairs had been made to the soul society. Long afterward they had the funeral. Every lost solider was honored. Hizume’s grave was separated on the Mai plot since Ishi refused to bury her alone. Ishi sighed again as she clutched her head. She was still very unstable, but she was hanging on. Toshiro then appeared from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close. He stroked her hair. Ishi sighed as she breathed in his scent.

(Next Part is in Ishi’s thoughts. Bold are images)

So this how it ended. I lost Hizume. Hizume’s funeral flashes. And I lost a son I never got to raise. Them finding the baby corpse. Well Hizume this sure isn’t how we expected it to end for our friendship huh? I still remember that day in the rain. Hizume and Ishi looking at each other pale watered down blood streaming down Ishi’s face. The day you and I forged and began our friendship. I remembered always laughing and smiling when we were together. How I would force you to eat my share of food. So you would grow strong. I always protected you. Sometimes I couldn’t though. Ishi finding Hizume bloody and beaten on the ground.  But I taught them a lesson. I always made sure that they never messed with you again. I never let anyone hurt you. When we were separated from each other during the short period that we were captains we were betrayed. Then together we took on the role of the squad 1 lieutenant. Ishi and Hizume tying on the badges that marked them as the lieutenants. We fought long and hard side by side. Then Montanoso and Mariposa appeared. Together we beat them. Along with our new friends. Hizume and Renji under the cherry blossom tree. Ishi and Toshiro together working.  We had so much fun didn’t we?

Even when times got hard and we wanted to give up we kept fighting. No matter what. Then we disappeared again. After a hard loss.  The golden light stealing Ishi, Hizume, and Kyoa away. But we came back. And then with our new friends the Broken we made a squad. And we fought together until the very end. Ishi killing Mako. Now everyone’s still grieving. Even Ichigo and those in the world of the living are. Yoruichi suffered along with Soifon on your loss. I remember when we first met them still. How come it is you always put up with me? And my stupid acts. That I always wonder. Now Renji is watching after Aichi. Aichi calls me Aunt Ishi and Toshiro Uncle Toshiro. I’m happy, just a little.

Your memory still hurts to think about and your loss still weighs heavily on my heart. But when I look at Aichi. So alive and filled with joy. I remember the kind of life you would want me to lead. I don’t think I’ll try for another child, I couldn’t bear a miscarriage. But promise I will look after him. A little boy with blue hair stumbled over to Ishi and she picked him up. Hizume….can you tell me. Is this the end? Or is it merely a beginning?
