Line on your face don't bother me
Down in my chair when you dance over me
I can't help myself
I've Got To See You Again
I could feel her staring at me, even if she wasn't really here.
I just knew. She was always cold and calculating when she looked at me, like she was staring down a child. Sometimes, though, like right after a fight or battle, she looked at me with nothing but concern and worry.
And then, there was relief.
Late in the night when I'm all alone
And I look at the clock and I know you're not home
I can't help myself
Sometimes, pure, utter relief wormed its way into Rukia's violet gaze, like… when I was with her, during her final moments.
And now, she's here during mine.
A brain tumor. Very ironic, seeing as how I'm a neurosurgeon. Really… Meningioma? I had already been warned by the Soul Society that I would not be going there when I passed. I would be going to wherever it was that dead shinigami went.
I've got to see you again
I could almost go there
I could feel her now, she was pulling my arm, her silent way of telling me, "Get the fuck up you lazy ass."
I laughed. This was just one of the many reasons I refused the surgery. Ishida, Chad, Tatsuki and Inoue begged me to go through with it. My stupid father, who would've been the first to tell me to get the damn surgery, was actually the only one who understood.
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream
The day I was diagnosed, he told me to say hi to mom.
I had laughed.
My eyes were heavy. Almost like I was tired, but I was too excited to be sleepy. After ten years, I'd see her again. I've got to see her again.
I'd never say I love her, no matter how much I do. It's just not the way we worked. She'd yell, I'd yell back. She'd hit me, I'd hit her harder, but not too hard, in fear of hurting her. But I knew she'd take it. She'd take it like the warrior I knew she was.
But no I won't go for any of those reasons
To not touch your skin is not why I sing
"Rukia…" I whispered softly, and the trees outside rustled, a silent response. For a full decade, now, I've lived with this… this 'almost-ability' to communicate with her. Her that's not really here.
"Rukia, I'm coming." My voice was hoarse.
The wind stopped, almost sad.
"I know, moron."
I laughed, and took my final breath.
There was light.
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again
"Rukia? Where are we?"
"Limbo."
I could almost go there…
"Limbo…" I breathed.
She shrugged. "It's actually better than this." The space we were in was all white, glowing. The silhouette of my hospital room was still visible. She continued. "I just came to pick you up."
"Pick me up?" I blinked.
No I won't go to share you with them
But oh even though I know where you've been
"Let's go, Ichigo. You're mom and Kaien are waiting."
"My… mother?"
Rukia grinned and nodded. "Let's go," She whispered, taking my hand. I pulled her close, kissing her.
I've seen her again.
I can't help myself.
We're home.
A field appeared behind us.
I've Got to See You Again…
