The Last part.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything assoicated with Bleach

This is the night.

When Ishida was already outside his apartment complex, he stopped and hesitated. He asked himself 'What am I doing?'

It was not the late hour of the night and the fact that he was outside that bothered him. Being alone, having no parent to restrict him, he was used to going out at this hour and without fear. He went even later during the time when he felt two shinigami presences with Rukia, that night when he almost died to try and save her. He smiled at the memory. Abarai Renji almost killed him, but they are currently on good terms now.

He smiled at how cocky and self-assured he seemed to be back then, even though he felt the difference in ability. He wouldn't have done it any other way, and would do the same given another similar situation. It was his pride as a Quincy.

And so he just stood there outside his door for a few minutes, deliberating whether he would go or not. People are somehow indecisive like that.

The cold night air brought him back to his senses. He looked at his watch to see what time it was, it was five minutes before eleven. He did not want to go back inside, since he just wont be able to sleep, and just continue staring at the ceiling, and maybe, and a big possibility at that, be confronted by the same images that led him awake this night.

So, after having thought about it, he decided that he will just have a few minute walk. He hugged his gray windbreaker to his slender form and started on his way. He did not notice it when something really small fell from the pocket of his windbreaker. He was walking aimlessly for about ten minutes, when unconsciously, his feet, began to take him to a familiar reiatsu, Tatsuki's reiatsu.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, another figure was shuffling in the dark, dressing up to leave and also deciding to take a late night walk. The person in the shadows walked to her window slowly and quietly and lifted the windows up, making sure they would not creak and would not wake anyone in the house. She slid out of her window, stood on the first floor roof, closed the window, walked to the pipes on the side of the house, and slid down. She ran across the lawn, grabbed hold of their fence and jumped lithely going outside of it. It was an easy thing to do for Tatsuki, it was not the first time, nor the second, that she escaped the walls of their home at this hour.

On another side Karakura, a girl was just finishing up cleaning up the kitchen while she was watching a late night comedy show on TV. After the show was finished, Setsuna closed the lights to the kitchen, and headed to her room. She picked up a book to bring herself to sleep.

On the streets of Karakura, a mob of men were walking and laughing and enjoying each other's company. They did not notice it when they trampled on a little white thing, not that you would notice such small white pill on the street with only the dim street lamps illuminating your way. So the laughing men crushed the pill with their feet, without them knowing the gravity of what they have done.

Ishida abruptly stopped in his tracks. He felt something change in the air, it felt heavier. He found the feeling familiar, but can't actually remember where and when he felt this. He thought hard, then his eyes widened.

"Oh no." He gasped. He recognized the feeling of the activation of the hollow bait. He remembered the same feeling when he had broken the pill to challenge Ichigo. As if to confirm this feeling, he heard the gut wrecking cry of a hollow. He broke into a run where he felt the nearest hollow is.

"Oh no." He repeated when he realized the location where the first hollow appeared. He tried to even run faster then.

On three different locations in Karakura, another three people shot up from their sleep as they heard the cry of a hollow. One immediately took his representative Shinigami badge and pushed it to his chest, then immediately jumped out of the window. Another girl changed from her nightwear to a sweater and a floral skirt, and dashed out of her apartment building. Another big guy wore his sleeveless muscle shirt and similarly ran out of the building.

All of them ran where they could sense the nearest hollow is to them.

A blue arrow broke in the air as Ishida summoned Ginrei Kojyaku, his six pointed bow. Everytime he eliminates one, another appears in front of him, ever delaying him from reaching his destination. He probably already took down 25 hollows in a span of less than 5 minutes.

'Does this ever end?' Ishida thought as he shot his arrows. He hasn't moved from his position and he would probably be too late if his pace keeps up.

So, he allowed his bow to dissipate form his hands, and he reached to his back and pulled out two Seele Schneiders, one in each hand. Yes he was paranoid like that, bringing his weapons with him when he was just going for a stroll. Actually, it was a habit of his, something that came from his long years of training. He can't allow himself to be defenseless when the time calls for it, and now was the time. And it was actually proved to be good habit.

So he summoned the Seele Schneiders and a bright blue light appeared and stretched out from each of their tips to form sword like light. He held it as if he was holding short swords and ran ahead.

Two hollows appeared in front of Ishida and he slashed his 'swords', swinging his hands from each shoulder. As it went through them, the hollows disappeared. He repeated this motion whenever hollows appeared in front of him. It was actually faster because he just runs thru the enemy and stabs them, and he was constantly in motion.

Then as he neared his destination, Ishida became surrounded by hollows. Her apartment was already in site, just a few more meters and he can check whether or not she is alright. But then these hollows, and big ones were on the way.

He backed up a little as about 20 hollows edged closer to him. He was not backing up because he was afraid. He was backing up because he had a plan, like he always does. He was allowing them to come closer to him so that he can take them all in one swift motion. As they formed a circle around Ishida, he felt himself make a self-assured smirk. He leapt high up in the air, did a three-sixty turn, all the while, outstretched both his arms outward while holding the Seele Schneider, so that in the air, he looked like a double bladed glowing helicopter rotor blades. He rolled as he landed on one knee, his arms still outstretched outward and back, still having the smug smile on his face. He did not need to check if he finished them all, he knew he did.

As he was standing up, someone spoke from the trees on his left. "You did not need to show off you know, nobody saw you anyway, 'cept me."

Ishida turned to look, he saw Ichigo holding onto Zangetsu and he looks like he had also been fighting.

"Is this your doing?" Ichigo asked, giving a glance at the sky.

"No." Ishida answered as he started to walk towards the apartments.

"It sure feels a lot like your hollow bait." Ichigo followed behind him, his eyes narrowing.

"I know, but I did not do this. I don't commit the same mistake twice." Ishida answered without looking at him.

Ichigo's eyes trailed to the two blue 'swords' on each of Ishida's hands. "When did you decide to use a light saber, I thought you only use a bow and an arrow?"

"I only use a bow and an arrow." Ishida answered as the energy particles on the Seele Schneider on his right hand dissolved in the air, he again placed it on his back, under his shirt.

"What are you talking about, isn't that a sword?" They were now only a few feet from the apartment door.

Ishida swung around summoning his 6 pointed bow on his right hand, and aimed it at Ichigo. Ichigo's eyes widened at the gesture.

"Seele Schneider isn't a sword." Then he released it and it whisked only a few millimeters from Ichigo's cheek. Then again Ishida smiled at him in a cocky manner, "Quincy only use bows."

Ichigo looked behind him and saw a rather large hollow disappear into thin air. He looked back at Ishida, and smirked "Show off."

Ishida used hirenkyaku to retrieve the used Seele Schneider when he heard a scream inside the apartment. His head whipped to that direction and saw that Ichigo was already running inside. Ishida immediately stood up and ran to follow Ichigo. There was no one inside and Ishida felt for the reiatsu. He dashed towards the back door and Ichigo followed him. They saw Setsuna being held in the neck by a hollow and another was standing near it.

"Getsuga Tenshou." Ichigo screamed out as he slashed his zanpakuto in the air. The white fang-like light quickly eliminated the two hollows, as Ishida ran towards Setsuna as the hand of the hollow gripping her vanished. Ishida caught her before she fell to the ground. Setsuna was crying and shaking as he held her.

"Wha…What was that?" She asked, her voice trembling. Her hand gripped Ishida's arms tighter.

Ishida did not know how to answer. Before he could open his mouth to speak, Ichigo already answered for him.

"Those are hollows, they go after soul and spirits to eat them. Though they sometimes attack people with high spiritual pressure."

Setsuna turned to look at him, noting his traditional black kimono. "What are you?" She asked Ichigo, while still holding onto Ishida.

"I am a Shinigami, we protect the people and the souls that were being attacked by the hollows." Then as if something hit him, he looked at her in disbelief. "You can see me?!?"

"Uhmm… Yes. Why?" Setsuna asked, her brows knitting in confusion.

"That's what I have been telling you," Ishida said as he started to get up, Ichigo just looked at him, "she has a relatively high spiritual pressure, she can be easily attacked by hollows."

"Oh." Ichigo said.

Setsuna just looked at them, becoming even more confused.

"You really can't detect reiatsu much even if it meant your life, can you?" Ishida said, with a tone in his voice that is almost teasing. Both Ishida and Setsuna were already standing at this time, her still clinging to his arms.

"I'm sorry I am not that great." Ichigo answered.

Then the sky cracked open a lot bigger than before.

"Menos." Ishida gasped, as he looked in that direction.

"And two of them." Ichigo said as he started running in that direction

Ishida was about to follow when he was tugged in his left arm. "Please don't leave me." Setsuna looked at him pleading. She was absolutely terrified.

Ishida knows very well that he can't just leave her alone, not with this many hollows appearing here and there.

"Hold on." Ishida said as he grabbed her wrist and summoned reishi in his feet. He then disappeared with hirenkyaku as he towed Setsuna with him.

"Shit!" Tatsuki said as she was leaning against the building wall in an alleyway, gasping for air. She had been running and leaping this past fifteen minutes since the first hollow appeared behind her. She has been trying to escape, but as she outran one hollow, another appears in front of her, leaving her in this never ending cycle of chase. She wasn't that tired, it's just that as of now, there are already four hollows in site, and she was surveying the area to decide where she would run next.

She looked up at the sky and she saw a blast of white ball of energy every now and then from the south. She was trying to head in that direction earlier, but was now even farther from it as her chase with the hollows were leading her away from it. She does not know who it was but she believes that whoever it was, she would be safe there. She also thought of going to Orihime, but with this kind of situation, she assumed that Orihime would not longer be in her apartment and she would also be fighting about. If only she could contact and reach her. She thought of how stupid she was to have left her cell in this dire circumstance.

She was still pondering on her possible courses of action when she saw something move in the corner of her eye. She immediately turned to look in that direction and saw another hollow, different from the four that she had just been looking at seconds ago. She was really in a pinch. Her heart pounded so loudly that it felt that it was going to rip out of her chest, but she did not feel that, she only saw the hollow that was slowly nearing her. She immediately brought herself from her daze and charged the lone hollow in front of her. She brought her legs up to kick the hollow, and she was successful in removing it from her way as it toppled and slid to ground from the force of her kick.

Tatsuki smiled smugly as she saw the result of her work and again ran as she emerged from the alleyway. Without thinking, she ran heading to the west as she saw that this coast is clear. After running for a few seconds, she tripped, only then did she realize that her right leg, the one she used to kick the hollow was hurting really bad. She was now sitting on the street as she examined her leg. It had a very large and ugly bruise already forming and visibly purple under the illumination of the moon. She tried to stand up, but the pain was excruciating. She was already standing and limping her way when the suddenly in front of her, the horizon cracked from the sky to the floor, and two large hollows, the size of a ten story building, appeared.

Tatsuki fell and her butt hit the floor. She gasped and stared as the two large hollows came into view from that black slit in the air. She tried to move back, dragging her leg while she was sitting. She did not know what they were called, but she knows that they are even worse than all those hollows chasing her combined. She had enough sense to move, only she can't, the pain she is feeling compounded by her fatigue was already making it impossible for her to do so.

She saw as one of this large being looked down at her. Its mouth slowly opened while at the same time, a ball of red energy was forming in front of his mouth. She saw as it enlarged, her eyes widening in response and as sweat trickled down her face. She had no where to go, she knew, and even if she was able to stand up, she wouldn't be fast enough to avoid a blast that big. Time moved in slow motion as she saw the creature release this ball of energy it was forming.

As the red laser like beam was about to hit her she felt something warm around her shoulders. She also felt someone hold on to her wrist. She looked up and saw his face, Ishida, illuminated beautifully by the moonlight, as he was looking ahead at the large creature, while he put her right arm around her shoulders, and lifted her off the ground, bridal style. She unconsciously lifted her left hand and held onto his shoulders, so that she was hugging him while he was carrying her away from her imminent death. He just saved her, the knight in shining armor as Orihime described to her, was now for her to witness.

This only occurred in a matter of seconds but Tatsuki remembered everything, every feeling associated with it.

Time again went to its normal pace when she heard someone scream, "Getsuga Tenshou." Her eyes squinted at the sudden appearance of a bright white light. She felt tiny rubbles fly to her as the ground from where the bright light went past them was split. She again looked at Ishida's focused face, and was suddenly self-conscious as she felt his hands holding tightly at her legs. She also did not fail to notice that the hand that was carrying her near her chest was also balled into a fist. She smiled at the gesture. Even at these kinds of situation, Ishida is still a gentleman. She almost forgot about what happened earlier that day when she saw Setsuna only a few meters away from them. She frowned.

Then suddenly, Ishida skidded to a stop. He suddenly leapt backwards, with a red laser beam appearing only a few millimeters away, them barely escaping. Ishida landed on his knees, still holding onto Tatsuki as he hugged her to his chest, shielding her from the debris that were flying towards them. Tatsuki still can't help but notice their proximity, and she felt herself blush, despite herself.

She saw Ishida lift his face to look around. She also looked around. She saw Ichigo was fighting the other big creature. Disappearing here, appearing there, and slashing as he did so.

"Stay here." Tatsuki heard Ishida say as he eased her to the ground.

She was watching Ishida's back as he was walking away, and then he suddenly disappeared. She searched and saw him appear in the air in line with the creature's skeletal mask, holding as six pointed glowing something in his hand. She hadn't seen Ishida fighting, but now as she see him, she can't help but be awed by how graceful he moved. He leapt from the building, spinning in the air, aiming with determined eyes. A barrage of arrows came out from where he was holding what Tatsuki now assumed was a bow. She can't keep up with the speed that Ishida was moving in the air, dodging all attacks made by this large creature, swiftly avoiding that red beam as it aimed at him.

Ishida continued delivering the volley, as Tatsuki saw that this hollow was already on its knees. Tatsuki saw that it was about to be defeated. Ishida ceased firing his arrows, and he reached for something in his back. She saw as this elongated into something akin to a sword. He posed to fire this sword -like thing in his bow, the final blow, Tatsuki noted.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere behind Ishida becomes hazy, and then it split. A large hollow, but not as big as this one that he is fighting not came out in high speed that it toppled Ishida. But it fell squarely on the tip of Ishida's 'sword' as he turned around to face it and it disintegrated in the air. But what happened next, he wasn't fast enough to dodge.

Ishida's looked past the hollow that was impaled by his Seele Schneider. He immediately stood up upon seeing that the Menos in front of him had already been able to form a Cero, and it was descending upon him. He tried to avoid the attack, but he was still caught by its edges. He summoned up some reishi particles to shield himself so that his left leg and some of his left lower abdomen won't be obliterated by the attack. The left side of his body was caught, but he was still alive. He got burned on that side and it hurt like hell.

Tatsuki saw that Ishida did not escape fast enough. She willed herself to stand up, when she saw in the midst of smoke and rubble that Ishida was kneeling, and he was faintly glowing with blue light. He disappeared after that and all of a sudden, she heard the large monster scream in agony as a bright blue light went thru its head. It similarly disintegrated like the one that was stabbed by Ishida moments ago.

Ishida saw as the Menos slowly faded. He looked around and saw that Ichigo was similarly finished fighting the Menos that he was up against. He was breathing heavily now from the pain that he felt coursing through the left side of his body. He fell to his knees, and as he was collapsing, he saw Tatsuki limping towards him, screaming his name, but the sound came as if it was from far away.

"Ishida!" Tatsuki screamed again as she went towards him, as fast as she was able to. She was holding onto her leg. She was able to reach him and as she did so, she knelt beside him held his face to wake him up. "Ishida!" she repeated.

Ishida grunted in response.

Tatsuki examined the area which got caught in the blast. The way it was charred on some parts and how other parts were already blistering and red, a very visible contrast to Ishida's naturally pale complexion. It looked really hideous but Tatsuki was not really thinking of that an the moment. She was only happy that Ishida was still able to respond, and that he was alive.

She heard footsteps running in her direction. She was about to turn her head to look, but suddenly, she and Ishida were enveloped by a warm, orange dome-like light. She saw Orihime standing outside the dome, with her hand outstretched, she was smiling gently at Tatsuki. Sado, Ichigo and Setsuna were behind her, watching them inside the dome.

Tatsuki felt as if there was someone soothingly massaging her right leg, she looked at it and saw that the bruise was slowly becoming smaller. Her eyes then found Ishida's face. She saw as the burnt area slowly restore its skin, the charred area fading, becoming a meaty red, then the usual pale skin covering it appeared. The same went to the rest of his body, it was visible as part of his clothing was also burned by the beam. Tatsuki saw as the eyes behind the lids move, and they slowly opened.

Ishida saw Tatsuki's face, but for all he could know, this could be the face of an angel smiling at him. But what caught him were her eyes brimming with joy, and also tears. He then noticed that they were both under Orihime's healing power. His eyes went back to Tatsuki. He tried to sit up, and was about to ask Tatsuki if she was alright when suddenly, her face got close to his and her lips was on his. Ishida was shocked and was unable to move, and so were those watching them from outside.

Tatsuki broke from the kiss when he heard Orihime giggling behind her. She had already retracted her healing dome. She looked at her, and then a blush formed on her cheeks. She again looked at Ishida, who was still at the moment, wide-eyed and speechless.

"I'm sorry." Tatsuki began.

Ishida just stared at her.

She started to stand up, but then she felt someone hold her hand. She looked at it, then saw Ishida's hand holding onto her.

"I—" Ishida began, but then closed his mouth as he was not able to find the right words to speak.

"Don't worry about it, just forget it," Tatsuki said, she was wearing a sad smile, "let's just say that was my thank you for saving me." Then Tatsuki stood up, and walked away, Ishida's eyes following her retreating back.

At that moment, Ichigo face palmed, Sado shook his head, and Orihime sighed.

"Go after her." Everyone was snapped out of their musings and they looked at Setsuna. She said again, with a gentle smile to Ishida "Go on, she's getting away." Ichigo, Sado and Orihime did not miss the tinge of sorrow in her tone.

Ishida just looked at her, then looked again at to where Tatsuki had been, then he stood up, and ran after her, leaving the group behind.

"Arisawa-san!" Ishida called.

Tatsuki could have thought she was hallucinating. She turned around to see Ishida running in her direction. She blinked again to check whether this wasn't a mirage of some sort.

Ishida slowed to a walk as he came near her. "I—" Ishida again began, as he looked to his side, somehow looking bashful, "I came to tell you that I may have been wrong…"

Tatsuki now rubbed her eyes to see if this was real.

"… that I do like you and," he looked Tatsuki in the eyes, and did something very uncharacteristic of him. He bit the side of his lips, as he blushed and looked at Tatsuki thru his lashes, now looking very shy "and also the kiss."

Tatsuki smiled, the widest smile that she could manage. She couldn't help it. This was by far the happiest moment of her life. How she had imagined the afternoon to have ended. Before she could think, she threw her arms around Ishida and hugged him tightly.

Ishida was again caught by surprise, but now he was able to respond, as he brought his arms around her slim waist to return her hug. He can't help but notice how nice Tatsuki smelled, yes like a rose, and he couldn't help but remember how soft her lips were when it was on top of his own. It was his first and he would like to repeat that and maybe more.

Tatsuki broke from the hug, and grinned at Ishida, a shade of pink dusting her cheeks, "So what now?" She asked.

Indeed what now. Ishida took her hand, a gesture that also surprised him, but he did not remove his hand. He just looked at it and marveled at the feel of another's hand on his own. And he liked it.

Tatsuki just watched him silently as he studied their intertwined hands. His eyes lifted to meet hers, a silent understanding passing between them.

"I'll walk you home, it's really late." Ishida said to her.

She just nodded, and tightened her hold on his hand.

"Hold on tight." Ishida said as he collected spirit particles in his feet and they disappeared.

It was Tuesday, and yesterday was quite an eventful day to some, and we know who. But what was special about this day wasn't the events of yesterday, of course no one knew about that. No one knew that Tatsuki admitted his feelings for Ishida only to be left heartbroken that afternoon, only to be again thoroughly happy that same night. No one knew about the appearance of the multiple number of hollows, whose cause was still unknown even to the party involved. Those who only knew this were the once with spiritual awareness and they could be quite a few.

What was special today was the biggest rumor, or was actually the 'in' news of today. It was that Ishida Uryu and Arisawa Tatsuki was already a couple. They arrived at school early this morning together and they were holding hands. They were talking to each other as if they were the only people in the world.

When they were in sight, there are whispers that you could hear. Such as:

"The two of them? Really?"

"What an odd couple?"

"I never thought Tatsuki would go for such a guy."

"I did not know this guy had it in him."

Or "Wasn't he gay?", or the other side "Wasn't she a lesbian?"

Ishida and Tatsuki heard it all right, but they just dismissed it and didn't bother with it.

And so did their friends, they were actually very happy for them, as they looked very happy when they are together.

It was already lunch break, the people were breaking out in their groups, Sado was standing outside the door waiting on someone. When she emerged at the door, Sado straightened up and walked by her. She gave him a welcoming smile, but there was still a tinge of sadness in her eyes.

"How have you been?" Sado asked her.

Setsuna just looked at him, then looked down, "I've been better, but I am alright really. I'm really glad that they were able to get around their feelings for each other. I mean, I could always see how Ishida looked at her, but I tried…" Setsuna trailed off.

Sado just looked at her. After walking in silence, Sado spoke "You'll find the one for you."

Setsuna looked up at the kind giant that walked by her, and saw that he was getting a bit red in the cheeks as he turned his head to the side as if to hide the blush. Setsuna smirked, and noticed how he was walking with a Mr. tall dark and handsome. She edged closer to him as they were walking.

Meanwhile, Orihime approached Ichigo who was sitting at the rooftop, he was gazing down at somebody below. Orihime followed where he was looking and saw Ishida and Tatsuki sitting under a tree, talking.

"Hi Kurosaki-kun!" Orihime's cheerful voiced startled him.

"Oh, hey Inoue."

"They look really cute together don't they?" She said thoughtfully, there was a satisfied smile grazing her lips. "Are you still worried about Tatsuki?"

"No," Ichigo answered, " I am just amazed at how fast things happened. Only yesterday afternoon Tatsuki was crying and saying he hated boys, now, look at them." He said as he jutted his chin towards them.

"I think that they go well together, and… and if you like or love someone, nothing could stop you from going for them, unless you are the one that makes them unhappy." Ichigo looked at Orihime as she spoke, surprised by her seriousness, then she flipped her head towards him, "Isn't that right Kurosaki-kun?" Then she beamed at him her angelic smile.

Ichigo all of a sudden found himself lost in her smile, and something dawned on him. Orihime again turned her face to look at the new couple. Ichigo was still looking at her, mentally slapping himself, how could he be blind and stupid for so long. How could he have not seen the beauty that was her.

"Yes you are right." Ichigo answered Orihime. They silently watched the couple for a moment.

"Are you doing anything this afternoon?" he asked her.

"No. Why?" She looked at him with a questioning look. He returned her a knowing smile.

Under a big tree, two persons sitting under it were receiving many looks, of different kinds.

"They really couldn't just let it go couldn't they?" Tatsuki said.

"I guess they can't" Ishida answered.

"Well, let's wait after a few days pass to and they will get used to it."

Ishida just smiled.

"What do you have in your bento?" Tatsuki asked peering over Ishida.

"Nothing much, just plain onigri and a few crab sticks, and you?"

"A lot of things, my mom really like preparing me food." She said as she showed her bento full of food to Ishida, it has maki, crab sticks, steamed salmon with sauce and some sticky rice on the side. "You could have some if you'd like."

And so they shared their meals while they talked.

"I just have to ask though, what were you thinking when you were looking at me back then? I always catch you looking at me funny."

Ishida almost choked on his onigri, then looked at Tatsuki, he was blushing, something Tatsuki found really cute.

"I really don't know," Ishida began, "I did not know I was looking at you differently, maybe I was already fascinated by you yet I really don't know it yet. An unconscious thing."

Tatsuki just smiled. "But…" it was now Tatsuki's turn to blush, "did you know I liked you?" She was smiling shyly now.

"No, if you did not tell me, I wouldn't have known. But I am glad you did." He answered smiling at her.

They ate in silence for a while. Then Ishida asked something, "Why…" he paused as if contemplating if he would continue, "how did you come to like me?" This really puzzled Ishida. He never would have imagined anyone liking him that way.

Tatsuki stopped eating and looked in the sky, with her brows furrowed, as if thinking deeply. Ishida watched her as she did so.

"I don't know," she finally answered, then she looked at him "Maybe because of all the guys, you have been the one who made me feel as if I was a girl, and not just any kind of girl, a special girl." She finished with a smile.

Ishida took her hand and held it.

It made Tatsuki smile. She did not know if this will last but right now, she was happy. She can't help but remember that only a few weeks ago, is someone told her that Ishida and her would become a couple, she would have thought that person insane. She also couldn't have imagined herself with him, only a few weeks ago. Now, she doesn't care if everyone thinks that this is just some young love, some high school fling, but what matters to her was that right now, her hands were held by the man she adores, and right now, they belong to each other. That's all that matters, and she prays it will last. She doesn't see the possibility of an end to it.

And so does he.

END.

A long ending chapter… How did you find it? Like it or not? A bit cheesy? but aren't all love stories are...Reviews reviews….

So I really don't know what timeline this happens, I just decided to use the abilities that they currently have, so maybe this could happen after this current arc, but I don't know, could be an AU. Sorry If I got you confused, it also got me.

About Ishida bringing the Seele Schneider, I think it is a plausible thing. Remember how he hides his secret stash of weapons his body when he was powerless? He had those tubes around his arms and inside his shirt so I really think he'll do this.

You know what? Writing and describing a fight is quite difficult. I only hope you didn't get confused and you understood what happened.

Many thanks for all those who read and commented from the start up till now. Really did not think I could finish a chaptered fic, but I did.
