Yes, some people were kind of pissed that I left the last chapter as a cliffhanger. Well this one's the chapter that will end it all. I don't feel like splitting the ending since it's like mega short. Anyways, back to the action!!!!

At The Beginning

"Wanna bet!!?" Somebody cried from afar.

Aizen's head whipped around right at the time Ichigo slugged him in the face. Aizen stumbled back a bit and glared at him, holding his throbbing cheek. Ichigo withdrew something from behind and prepared to bolt at Aizen. With nothing out to defend him, he held out his reliquary just as a pitch black long sword knocked it out of his hands.

"No!" Aizen quickly dashed after the rolling reliquary.

"Ichigo!" Rukia cried as her hands on the stone pavement slipped.

Ichigo dove out onto the broken section of the bridge and grabbed Rukia just as she was about to fall. He pulled her up high enough for her to regain her grip back on the bridge. Rukia frantically grabbed onto the muscled arms of Ichigo as he continued to pull her up.

"Ichigo! If we live through this, remind me -"

"I know, save it for later!" Ichigo interrupted her as he struggled pull the girl up.

"Move away, you nuisance!" Aizen growled and sent Ichigo far away from Rukia as possible.

Ichigo felt his body slam against the hard cold stone of the bridge and he felt something rocky crushing against his chest. Cracking open an eye, he caught sight of a statue of a phoenix crushing its talons against him. Bearing it no longer, he finally let out a scream in agony and pain and struggled to break free.

"ICHIGO!!" Rukia cried out once she heard him. Slowly, her hands started to slip from the stone pavements again.

"This is goodbye, Rukia." Aizen grinned as he reached out and clenched his hand around Rukia's neck. He pulled her up and met her eye to eye. "Sayonara." He whispered and promptly dropped Rukia down.

Nearby, Naori's body fell limp as the vines strangling her overtook her. She closed her eyes, hoping to not see the gruesome effect afterwards. Suddenly, she felt something being cut and the grip started to loosen around her legs. She nervously opened an eye and caught sight of a boy with white sparkling hair.

'H-Hitsugaya Toushirou?'

"Stay still." Hitsugaya commanded and he sliced right through all the vines from Naori's chest down to her knees. He than made an uppercut slash with his sword, making precise cuts to be rid of the vines on her neck and mouth. Naori gasped and stumbled right down to the cold ground.

"Are you okay?" Hitsugaya asked, concerned.

"Don't worry about me! Rukia!" Naori brushed off and tried to stand up.

"Onee-chan!!!!!" A cry was heard and threw itself right in between Naori's bare legs.

Naori clenched her teeth, irritated, and slammed Kon right back down to the ground with her heels. "Really Kon! At a time like this!!"

Hitsugaya narrowed his eyes at Aizen and started sprinting at him with his sword aimed right at him. He reached out and stabbed Aizen right at the leg just as Aizen had dropped Rukia. Aizen grimaced in pain as the blood ran down from his leg. Rukia fell down, but luckily managed to grab onto the main bridge just as the dangling broken portion fell down into the river. Aizen ignored the searing pain and glanced to see who did that.

"Stupid brat." He muttered and sent Hitsugaya flying right back at Naori.

"Toushirou!" Naori cried out and she ran up to Hitsugaya as he skidded towards her with his body landing face up against the ground.

"You're next little girl." Aizen menacingly said, chuckling as he headed towards Naori.

She pulled Hitsugaya closer to her and positioned her sword, ready to defend. Kon whimpered in fear and hid behind her body. She felt a sweat drop rolling down her forehead and onto Hitsugaya's pained face.

Aizen pointed his reliquary at Naori. "Long live the Kuchiki's!!" He yelled into the open air and the reliquary prepared to attack at Naori.

"Right!" A female voice called back from behind Aizen. Rukia stood at the edge of the bridge with her glaring centered right on Aizen. "I couldn't have said it better myself!"

Rukia charged and rammed Aizen to the ground. She tackled him, trying to make a grab for the reliquary in his hands. Aizen tried his best to make it out of her reach and he tried to tackle back as well. Soon, he pushed her off and sent Rukia rolling back out of his way.

"Toushirou! Hang on!" Naori cried out for her fallen friend.

Hitsugaya winced and opened an eye. "Naori." He managed to say and she breathed a sigh in relief. "Naori. We need to get that thing out of his hands."

"How?" Naori cried out.

Hitsugaya struggled out his explanation but he couldn't say anything. Instead, he made a grab for Kon and struggled to get on his knees at least. "Make yourself useful!" Hitsugaya grunted and threw Kon right at Aizen.

"Die!" Aizen yelled and held his reliquary high in the air.

Right at that time, Kon flew right by the reliquary and knocked it right out of his hands. It flew out and dropped down onto the ground, rolling right under Rukia's awaiting foot. Rukia narrowed her eyes and pressed down against the object.

"No!" Aizen frantically dove and tried to release his reliquary.

With no mercy, Rukia pressed even harder against the thing, cracking the glass along with it. At that moment, the vines behind Naori crumbled and so did the phoenix that was keeping hold of Ichigo. Though the rocks shattered and knocked him right on the head. An unconscious Ichigo, bruised and battered, fell down onto the ground. Rukia gasped at the sight of him and pressed even harder, almost shattering the glass.

"This is for Ichigo!" Rukia cried and slammed her foot right on the glass, scraping it against the stone. The glass was only one foot stomp away from completely shattering.

Naori stared at her sister, completely amazed by her courage. Hitsugaya sighed and fell back down with his head caressed in Naori's arms.

"This is for my family!" Rukia shouted and stomped even harder. "For Naori and for Captain Hitsugaya!!"

"No!" Aizen angrily yelled.

"And this…" Rukia paused and glared down at the man. "This is for you, Sousuke Aizen. Sayonara!" Rukia pushed down as hard as she could and shattered the glass completely. Shards flew out in all different directions and the top and bottom parts flew out away.

A green light shot up from Aizen's body and started to overtake him and everything around him. Rukia quickly ran back to Ichigo and shielded him from the blast. Hitsugaya weakly closed his eyes and in turn, Naori shielded him with her own body as well. The light shooting out from Aizen suddenly stopped and drew back. A huge explosion was heard and fragments of dust and stone flew out from it. After that, nothing was left of Aizen except for his white robes. It's over now.

When Naori heard only silence, she looked back up to see nothing again. Hitsugaya opened back up his eyes and nodded that it was safe now.

Rukia uncovered Ichigo from under herself and stared down at his calm, closed face. He didn't even show signs of waking at all. Noticing it was too late, Rukia turned around and softly cried into the folds of her ripped up dress. Naori softened her gaze at her broken sister and turned away to not cry too. Rukia continued to cry, now that Ichigo was gone, now no one was there with her. She was all alone without him.

A groan suddenly sounded from behind Rukia. Surprised, she suddenly whipped around and her flinging arms slapped Ichigo right on the nose just as he was getting up.

"Ow!!" Ichigo winced and grabbed for his nose in pain.

"Ichigo!" A tearful Rukia cried back and fiercely hugged him tight, causing him to fall back with Rukia on top of him. Ichigo couldn't hold back and he loudly groaned from all the pain in his chest. Noticing this, Rukia quickly pulled back. "Oh! I'm sorry!"

"I know. All men are babies." Ichigo grunted and tried to get back up.

"I thought you went back to Karakura Town." Rukia asked, helping him up on his knees.

"I know…"

"But why-"

"I couldn't" Ichigo said gazing into her amethyst eyes with his own.

"Why?" Her eyes slowly started to tear up.

"Because…I…"

Rukia moved her finger to his lips and made him stop talking. She unconsciously moved closer with her lips heading to his. Ichigo caressed her cheek and also moved as well. Their hearts beating louder and louder and beating in sync as well.

"Rukia…" A soft voice suddenly broke it up. Naori stood above them with Rukia's sparkling tiara in her hands.

Ichigo took the tiara back and he stared at it with a silent solemn look. He glanced back at Rukia. "They're expecting you…" He said in a whisper.

Rukia slowly took the tiara back, staring down at its familiar gleam. It's shimmering jewels and sparkling gems. The thing must have worth over millions and millions of yen. Something that only Kuchiki's could buy. Somehow, Rukia could only see it as worthless.

Byakuya entered the sitting room of his palace. Even though it was adorned with lavish curtains and fancy furniture, it felt empty once he spotted a familiar tiara and note. Renji stood by the tiara and awaited for his captain's presence.

Dear Nii-sama,

We'll be together in Seireitei someday. Take good care of Naori in my place. I know she and you will miss me. I love you all! Good-bye!!

Love,

Rukia Kuchiki

Yoruichi peeked over the shoulders of Byakuya, also reading the letter. "My, my…" She mused on and snatched it out of his hands. "I guess this is the happy ending."

"No." Byakuya paced up to the balcony and stared at the stars. Maybe Rukia was doing the same…wherever she is. "I believe it's a perfect beginning."

'Rukia…'

Naori sadly stared up into the stars in her place at the bridge. The river shimmered below her and it perfectly reflected everything up at the sky. The wind suddenly blew by her ripped dress and bare legs causing her to greatly shiver. She clicked her teeth in the cold when she suddenly felt something placed over her shoulders. It was soft, white, and had a number ten written on it so it was probably Hitsugaya's.

"You miss her already?" Hitsugaya asked.

"Yeah." Naori nodded and pulled his captain's haori closer to her body.

Hitsugaya gazed at her before looking back up at the stars.

"You know though…" She suddenly spoke, causing him to turn back. "I believe it's for the best. It's about time I stood on my own two feet."

"That is if you don't crush the earth under your two feet." A smart remark came back.

Naori haughtily glanced at him, annoyed, "You never get tired of that, do you?"

Hitsugaya shrugged and smirked at her. "Not once."

"Shiro-chan!!!!" A happy call for his nickname sounded. Hinamori giddily ran up to her best friend from all the way from the ends of the bridge.

"Hello Bed-wetter Momo." Hitsugaya replied back in the usual insulting matter.

"Hello Lieutenant Hinamori." Naori greeted.

Hinamori slightly blushed and waved her hands out for no. "You don't have to be so formal Kuchiki-hime. You're a noble and nobles don't have to call the lower ranks by their titles." She glanced at the haori on Naori's back and her still shivering bare legs. "Oh my! You must be freezing! I'll escort you inside if you like?"

"No, it's okay Lieutenant Hinamori." Naori replied. "Besides, I'm going to have to wear those same robes of yours in a couple of days."

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Hinamori blinked, confused.

"Lieutenant Hinamori!" Naori enthusiastically exclaimed and reached out for Hitsugaya's arm, pulling it close to her. "Meet my new captain, Captain Hitsugaya of 10th Division!!"

"What?"

Both Hinamori and Naori doubled in laughter and they giggled in complete unison. Hitsugaya just stared on at the two, completely confused and maybe slightly happy.

Meanwhile, a boat coming from under the bridge they were on honked its horn as it passed by. Rukia happily leaned her snowy white sword against the seat and pulled Ichigo to come out. Ichigo took her hand and followed after her. The two started dancing through the night. Twirling around, spinning, dancing in each other's arms. Rukia spun and danced around him in complete grace and she finished landing into his arms. She stared deeply into those eyes. Those brown hazel eyes. Slowly reaching up, she caressed the palms of her hands against his cheeks and brought herself up close to him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her up. This time with no further interruptions, their lips slowly met each other. Rukia wrapped her arms around his neck and his hands traveled up to her back.

Kon happened to be passing by. "Damn you Ichigo!!" He growled, clenching his paws. He sighed and unclenched them afterwards. "Well, I guess I'll let him off this once."

They both broke their kiss at the same time. Rukia gave a simple smile with her clean face shimmering in the moonlight. Ichigo smirked at her and picked her up high in the air. He twirled her around and around, bridal style, with Rukia happily chuckling with him. Her arms grasping onto his strong shoulders and her tattered, but still beautiful dress trailing with her.

In the seats where they once sat, there laid a beautiful snowy white sword with a long white ribbon coming out from the hilt. That was Sode no Shirayuki. Crossing blades with it was a pitch-black sword with no sense of other colors and a chain coming from the hilt. A sword that Byakuya had given to Ichigo, taking it as trash. That's Zangetsu. Two very different blades, yet very beautiful when they're together.

Gin grinned down as the boat passed by his bridge. "My…what was I thinking to split these two up?" He mused on, as they were happy in each other's arms. "They're happy. That's good."

"Gin?" A female voice tiredly called out to him.

"Hello there. Ran-chan." Gin waved at the blond woman just as she tearfully ran back at him, crashing into his arms.

"You came back…" She tearfully cried.

"Sorry." He placed a reassuring hand on her head.

Then Gin glances at you. Yes, he's looking at you. The one sitting on the chair and their hand is on the mouse…or keyboard. The one looking at him and reading these very words. "Story's over. You can click the review button now. Bye bye!"

Matsumoto kisses you good-bye as well and Hinamori and Naori waves good-bye to you from their bridge across the river. Hitsugaya just gives his usual glares at you and points at the review button.

Gin's up to his antics as I like it. Including breaking the fourth wall. Well that's the end of this story.
