That Time (Bleach Love Story)

Chapter 53

We all arrived in the middle of the underground area.

Everyone was there. There were even a lot of people I have never seen before. It looked like everyone's zanpakuto manifested.

I spotted Ichigo sitting down with Orihime. She seemed sad and was talking to Ichigo who wasn't looking at her.

"Oh, Ichigo's family..." Rangiku paused and looked at me sadly.

My eyes widened and I ran to Ichigo.

Ichigo's family.... No...

"Ichigo..." I paused once I reached him.

Ichigo looked at me, it looked like he was crying for months. He looked at Orihime, who just nods her head and left.

"Ichigo, what happened...?" I asked, as I sat down by him.

"Yuzu, Karin and my father... They're gone... Not only that. Head Captain Yamamoto too... Everyone who lived in Karakura Town and in the Soul Society... Are dead." Ichigo explained.

I would ask how he knew this. But, Captain Ukitake was the first one to wake up. Along with Soi Fon and a few others.

"Ichigo. There is a way to stop Aizen." Someone said.

In front of us, was a man dressed in black. He had long curly brown hair and he was wearing shades. He even has facial hairs.

"Zangetsu, it's too late already..." Ichigo said

I stared at the man, who was Ichigo's zanpakuto.

Hakure and Yui arrived. From the looks of it, Hakure seemed pissed off.

"What's wrong, Yui and Hakure?" I asked.

Ichigo stared at them.

"U-Um... You see... Hyourinmaru found a way to get to Aizen." Yui answered.

Ichigo stood up and grabbed Hakure by the scarf. "Tell me!" He yelled.

Everyone had stopped what they were doing and looked at Ichigo.

Hakure pushed Ichigo back. "It's in the surface. Hyourinmaru spied on the Hollow guards and over heard them mentioning the Hyougoku."

Toshiro walked to us, behind him was a man with long green-blue hair, a scar on his face... Hyourinmaru.

"They said that they didn't know what a Hyougoku is. Or how it's spiritual pressure would go." Hyourinmaru said.

Haineko wrapped her arms around Hyourinmaru and smiled.

"We figured that you could go through the surface area and go to Aizen. But, Hakure burst a fit." Haineko giggled.

Hakure turned to her and glared at the zanpakuto. "I will not allow her to go there alone!"

Yui tried to calm Hakure down.

"Why are you the ones giving orders? Blossom is going." Ichigo said.

I sighed and just hugged myself.

"Ichigo..." Orihime said.

I was in the corner and thought to myself. The others were setting up plans to distract the Hollows if I got caught.

Byakuya sat next to me and looked at me. "Blossom, I have been wanting to talk to you."

I gave him a small smile. "Is it about that kiss in Kyōka Suigetsu's world?"

He laughed a bit and nods his head. "Even though it was not real. I do wish for it to be real. One day, I do hope you would feel the same for me."

"So, you finally sort of understand that it may not happen?" I asked.

He nods his head again and his smile disappeared.

"Ichigo, he's focused on getting revenge. That he's going to risk your life." Byakuya said.

I smiled and poked his cheek. "I'm glad that I can be of use now."

He glanced at me, then looked at Ichigo. "Even though, you're helping him for the first time. That first time, you can die?"

"No. Ichigo... In the illusion world that we were in. Said I helped him a lot of times. I'm happy to be of help to him, truth is..." I looked to where Orihime was, she was with Rangiku.

"Orihime has feelings for Kurosaki?" Byakuya asked.

I nod my head. "I have seen her feelings for Ichigo. Orihime is such a good friend to me, that's why I have been rejecting Ichigo."

"Blossom, it's time." Mayuri said.

I took a deep breath and got up.

In my mind I was nervous but, excited to see him...
