Longer than Forever [ BLEACH FANFIC SEQUEL]

Golden Faith Suvarna

I believe my brain has dropped into that state which only care for 'surviving' at this moment. Being inside this situation is another thing when it comes to the realization that I've become like a wild animal that has gone rebel.

One thing after another.

Right after my brain still in the process of thinking what should I do with the suspicion on me, a boy's voice speak right into my mind and succumbed into panic of not wanting to be tied down anymore, I trust his voice.

Sphatika is the word for this crystal-orb-like which surround my body completely. From what I witness—when Urahara-San tried to tie me up with his Bakudou— this crystal orb work as a defense for me.

But not only as a defense from the outside, but inside as well. Because, the golden string which tied my hands before now had gone when Sphatika envelope me completely.

" The first prayer is Sphatika, means avoidance of wrongdoings. What we think as wrongdoing shall not thrust this absolute shield by any means... "
The boy speak right into my head.

" W-who are... You? "
I throw the question which was thrown at me by Urahara-San a moment ago.

" We should not introduce ourselves first in the middle of this battle. However, you may trust me just as you believe yourself. "

"..."
He's right. We will talk again after me and Urahara-San came into an end on this misunderstanding.

Urahara-San stands meters away from me, underneath this unusually bright moonlight, everything seems so clear. As clear as this long hair which truly has... Turned silver.

I know I can't go away with this misunderstanding anymore, it has go beyond my reach. But... I won't give it up just like that, I will fight for my freedom—the least thing I can do for Sousuke-San whose given me this freedom.

" Urahara-San, I know that my appearance and this... Unknown power make your suspicions even become bigger than before. However... I'm not an animal nor a person who has lost their mind. As someone who is both smart, how about we talk this nicely with cold head? "
I show my firmest gaze at this point, hoping that this last plan will get accepted.

Urahara-San seems to think what I've said for a moment before he look at me back with his ... Normal gaze. The same kind of gaze which I though the real Urahara-San when he's alone with me...

Does it still mean something at this point now?

" Whew, I thought you just lose control for a moment there. Good to know that you're still that same smart kid from usual. "

I'm glad, even though that supposed to be my line. I don't care anymore what kind of face are you showing to me now, Urahara-San, but I'm just really disappointed to myself for getting hurt by the way you treated me as a prisoner before.

I should've known that all the time we've spent together is just a small fraction of your job.

" Right, I'm still the same Hasu Tsukiko. I don't know myself what happened to me though, but if you promise not to hurt me or tie me up again, I'll contribute to whatever inspection the higher-up will have for me, nicely. "

"... The decision is not up to me, Hasu-chan. You know I'm just a mere candy shop owner. "

How I'd love to throw a bull crap on his face right now, but I know that's not going to make the situation get any better.

" Okay okay... Whatever you say, Urahara-San. But... Just promise me not to touch or anything to hurt or tie me down. "

"... Deal. "
