Will these memories go on forever?

(An alternate ending to the bleach manga.) Following the years after the thousand blood war, once again peace returned. But is this 'future' really what everyone expected? Everyone is happy. Orihime married her high school crush Ichigo Kurosaki; he runs his father clinic and they settled down and started a family. Rukia married her childhood friend Renji Abarai and had a child as well, not to mention she is the new Captain of her squad divison. Uryu became a doctor taking his fathers place at the Ishida hospital. And Chad became a star boxer known through all of Japan and Mexico. But as for Ichigo, for some odd reason, his time feels like it stopped. He feels empty inside. As if time has rippled at one point in his life; a moment that would change his future.

Authors note: This is entirely non-canon story and yes it revolves around Ichigo and Rukia in a romantic relationship. I entirely respect Tite Kubo and his amazing work. I do not intend to offend readers, I respect all opinions. As for the ending of bleach I believe so in my opinion was left off too rushed and with mutiple questions unanswered, so by all means I decided to step up and write a deserving ending of my own. It may not be perfect but it was fun to write.

All canon characters (main characters of original story) belong to the owner and author Tite Kubo. All names and characters do not belong to me, except for the completely original characters I create.
