Stay. My Heart.

Rangiku, Toshiro, Ichigo, Annabelle

Annabelle walked with Ichigo as they headed back to her old house.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. I'm good." She said. Her home was being tarred down. For real.

But she did have a second home. With the Soul Society.

Toshiro had let her stay with him in the tenth devision, and now, she was losing her home.

Her brother is dead. Her mother alive but can't be found anywhere. She was part of the Society, asfter they stood up to protect her from the other reapers.

Passing the gardens and all the houses around her block, that were now empty.

Watching the house she died in, grew up in, lived in all her life, was now being torn down.

After it was over, her and Ichigo walked through down to meet Rangiku.

Ichigo was only a sub, she he couldn't live in the Society with her.

Saying her goodbyes, and a promise to always visit, she left Ichigo and walked with Rangiku into the Soul Society.

"I know this is hard for you, but I'm glad your staying. At least you'll keep me, the captain, and many others in line." Rangiku said.

"Um...It's mostly just you, Rangiku." Annabelle laughed.

Finally, walking through the soul farm, up to a small cottage, Rukia, her brother, Renji, and Toshiro waited for her.

"Welcome home!" Renji shouted.

Rukia rolled her eyes. "This will be your special home." Rukia said.

"We hope you like it." Rangiku smiled.

Annabelle smiled.

Toshiro walked up to her, took her hand. "Stay?" He asked.

"I'm home." She replied. In her heart, she knew, this was her home. And that her first one, will always be there, in her memories. But now, she wanted her own family. Here in the Soul Society.

The End
