~Life Lessons With the Strawberry~

AN:
I have decided to start this story instead of starting up 'Reaching Out', because I've had this story in my mind for a few weeks now. Before you start reading this, there are a few things you should know about this story:

It can be read in any order [except you should read the prologue and epilogue accordingly].

It was totally original, but inspired by you guys! ^^

This whole entire story is told in Rukia's POV, unless you are told otherwise. This story is a collection of snapshots of Ichigo and Rukia's daily lives together after Hueco Mundo, and what he is teaching her unknowingly.

You can ask if you want me to include something Ichigo taught Rukia by messaging me.

Ahem… okays… anything else?

Oh, yes.

I don't own Bleach.

Life is like a lesson

We learn as we go

Sometimes we fall behind

We can sometimes move ahead

And pass those around us

But ignorance is bliss

And move too fast,

You'll find yourself in utter solitude.

Being alone is hard

There is no one to lean on

No one to listen

Life is like a maze

We walk around

Uncertain if we are taking the right path

Until we reach a dead end

Life is like a boat

It rocks back and forth with the current

With the wind

As life rocks with circumstance

Too deep for our own understanding

Life is like a season

It comes and goes

Quickly and stealthily, as if it was never there

Life is like raindrops

It falls from the sky into my palms

They are little packages of happiness

But little packages of sorrow

Life was like a box for me

An enclosed and tight space

I couldn't breathe

I was trapped…

…until…

I found a certain Strawberry

I could count on

One that made me happy

One that pissed me off

He taught me things I thought I learnt

And burned them into my heart.

My sky used to be filled with grey

But now I can see the blue

My eyes can see differently now,

I've learnt the truth.

I had a little Strawberry

Who was always there for me

I've learnt so much

I swear I've learned to touch

The sky with my fingertips.

AN:

Corny little poem there, eh?

It may be corny, but it's essentially what this story is about. Go on, Review please. This story should be as good, or EVEN BETTER, than the True Will of the Heart. Trust me…

And… for those who were wondering… my profile pic is Domo-kun!!!
