Bleach: The Authority to Protect

And time passes...

Ichigo... Did you know I actually could ride horses.

And time keeps passing...

Ichigo did you know I wanted a greener pasture to decorate your inner world...

And a long time passed by...

As despair engulfing my mind softly and gently lulling me in cold empty comfort.

As I've realized that I can't...

I can't stand to live a life without you in it.

Rest... The despair said.

Sleep... The despair prodded.

But I won't falter.

Not here.

Not now.

Ichigo did you remember what I said to you

when you fought Urahara Kisuke in his underground basement?

Cast off your fear and look forward.

Move forward and never stop.

Retreat and you'll age.

Hesitate and you'll die.

So I've said back then.

Ironically...

I decided to move backward.

Yes, I decided to do what you would've called Time Travel.
