Longer than Forever [ BLEACH FANFIC SEQUEL]

Critical Moon

" The Hougyoku is a small, bluish-purple orb thought to have been capable of dissolving the boundaries between Shinigami and Hollow, allowing one race to attain the powers of the other. However, its true power lies in its ability to sense the hearts of those around it and materialize their deepest desire. There once exist two incomplete Hougyoku. One was created through Urahara Kisuke's hand, which had given light to my birth. The second was through Aizen Sousuke's hand, which had given light to your birth. However, Aizen Sousuke eventually merged us together and create the perfect Hougyoku stone for himself. We both become one, though we were once a different life, now has become one entity. The one who eventually created the perfect us, was Aizen Sousuke. Thus we acknowledged him as our master. When we both become one with him, we recognized his deepest wish. And thus, that's the reason behind your birth, the identity of your human soul, Hasu Tsukiko. "

Pointing his finger on me, as good as pointing his gun at me. The words he tells, are as painful as his bullets. And the pain I get, it's no different.

I bleed an invisible blood, from a dry wound.

One could go as far as wishing to destroy their eardrums just so they won't hear the truth. However, if that's the case then sewing my eyelids would be the next thing to do after that.

The truth, is truly painful than any blade.
The truth, sometimes can be stranger than fiction.

"... This... Could not be a dream, could it? "
I broke a desperate smile, clenching my fist.

" No, it's real. "

My clench getting harder, and the pain which resulting from it make my heart goes into disarray— for realizing the pain is real, thus this is not a mere dream.

Then the questions begin to knock on my head.

" Why... Is it has to be me? "
Hanging my head to the ground, I can feel warm tears welling up in my eyes.

" Fulfilling our lord's wishes, isn't that our sole reason to exist? Though we have become one entity, you still created through Aizen Sousuke's hand. This is your utmost duty to fulfill his wishes. "

" But... You're part of me too aren't you? Why is has to be me?! Why is it has to be me who fell for him?! Why is it has to be me who got hurt like this?! WHY NOT YOU?! "

At the top of my lung, I shouted at him, grabbing his shoulder tightly and carelessly. Upon seeing him in closer look, I find his expressionless face start to change the moment he about to answer my rage.

" ... Milord Urahara Kisuke, feared my existence. Hence he tried to hide me—us, into someone else's body. My creation, compared to you, was all for naught. "
If my eyes truly blinded by the gold, then perhaps what I saw was his purplish lips turn into an upward melancholic crescent moon.

I loosened my grip on him.

For a strike moment back there, I thought I've felt the urge to cry as my heart feels like torn into pieces when the boy said his reasonings. What in the world is this feeling? It's so sad... Agonizing... Miserable, it's so unpleasant.

" You are feeling what I feel, Hasu Tsukiko. Because we are one, it could not be helped for you to feel the same as I do and vice versa. "
