That Time (Bleach Love Story)

Chapter 56

Only I can save one of them? Why should their lives be in my hands?

'There's a way to prevent all this... Hakure and I have been hiding this from you. We can take you back in time. We can help you change one moment of your memory. But, in doing so, Hakure and I will cease to exist.' Yui told me.

I don't want you both to disappear though. You're my zanpakuto...

'Well, it's better than this. Do you want to change everything? All you have to do is close your eyes.' Hakure told me.

I closed my eyes.

'Now, remember that time. The time you want to change. The time that you think can change this.' Yui said.

That time... What time could have actually changed this...? I felt like no matter what I think of, I would always end up in this situation...

I suddenly felt rain pouring on me.

Then, when I opened my eyes, there was no Byakuya. No Aizen.

I looked down only to notice the uniform I was wearing. It was from...

I was about to cross the street and I didn't. I watched as the truck that caused the problem pass by. Not long did I hear the noise. The noise of the Hollows.

I felt someone touch my shoulders. I turned around and my eyes widened.

"Hey, you. Did you decide to wait up for me?" Grimmjow asked.

"Grimm..." I just stared at him.

Grimmjow bopped me on my head. "I'll take that as a yes. I got my jacket. But, I now realize that I should have brought an umbrella instead."

I smiled a bit at what Grimmjow said.

"Grimmjow, about the Karakura High..." I paused and looked down.

Grimmjow gave me a grin. "You know what? Screw this town. I'll go with you to Karakura Town."

I was shocked to hear Grimmjow say such things.

Then, it hit me. Would I still be friends with them...?

2 months later....

"Perfect. Grimmjow! I fixed my room!" I yelled happily.

Grimmjow let out a loud sigh and placed a box down. "Glad you fixed your room. This is the last box."

I smiled brightly and looked out the window.

I'm happy but...Why...?

"Ichigooooo!" Ichigo's dad yelled.

Why do I feel hurt inside...?

"Damn it! What kind of father are you?!" Ichigo yelled.

Why do I have to remember them all...?

"School starts tomorrow, right?" Grimmjow asked.

I nod my head and I watched Ichigo and his family argue.

Grimmjow poked my cheek. "Sucks. We got the noisy neighbor." Grimmjow groaned.

I looked at Grimmjow.

I was happy, that he's still around. Even if he is a Hollow already. Even if in the end, I will join Aizen.

"Get some rest. Tomorrow is our first day of school." Grimmjow told me.

"Right..." I smiled a bit.

After unpackng the last box, I chenged to my pajamas. I laid down on my bed and tried to sleep.

Everytime I'm close to going to sleep, I could feel a Hollow's spiritual pressure getting closer.

I sat up and looked out the window. Only to spot Grimmjow kicking a Hollow's face.

Next door, I saw Ichigo. Our bedroom was across from each other.

Ichigo was reading a book and scratching his head. He then looked at me and I froze. But, he just smiled and waved.

Stupid Ichigo...

I smiled a bit and waved back.

The next morning, Grimmjow and I were ready to go attend Karakura High but...

Grimmjow opened the door and scratched the back of his head. "Hey, you're that neighbor... The noisy one."

"Noisy one? I'm Ichigo Kurosaki." Ichigo introduced.

I walked to Grimmjow only to stop and frown.

"Ichigo..." I said.

Ichigo looked at me and gave me a goofy grin. "So, you ARE attending Karakura High. I was right."

I squinted my eyes and looked at him. "You were right?" I asked.

"Yeah. I saw you change into a uni... Well, when I looked out my window I saw you... I mean I... Forget it." Ichigo sighed.

I tried to avoid Ichigo, to prevent myself from ever meeting him and the other Soul Reapers. But, I felt like we were meant to meet no matter what.
