Longer than Forever [ BLEACH FANFIC SEQUEL]

Hougyoku, Before Madness

.

.

.

I'm... Awake?

Eh?

I'm not... In contact with Sousuke-San? But I'm only able to talk to him when I'm half asleep. But given the situation this time, it's not possible.

I was having a deep breath of the anesthesia, I should be in deep sleep and not able to feel anything. But I'm... Aware in my sleep?

Can I called out Sousuke-San?

" S...Sousuke-San? "

" No one is here to answer the name who you called. "

The voice is... That boy's! It came from behind me—

...

No words... Can explain... The feeling which overwhelm me the moment I lay my eyes on him. Body as slim as a girl yet masculine like a guy. Enchantingly pale skinned face with glistening strands of hair falling onto his face. He has a face... That is too gorgeous for any guy to have.

Beautiful, gorgeous, enchanting, mesmerizing, not even the fanciest words can do justice for him.

" You are not connected with that man, Aizen Sousuke, this time. I'm the one who called you out to my dimension. "

It took me longer than what I expect to gather all my composure back to answer him. He's steps away from me, yet I can hear his voice as if he's talking right in my head. Well, that's nothing new.

" W-who... Are you then? "

" ... My very own being doesn't have a name to call. However, you and me are of the same being, with a name to call. "

" Huh? Umm... You and me are the same? But my name is Hasu Tsukiko... Then does that mean... "

" Hasu Tsukiko is your own name, not our name. "

This boy talks in a puzzling way and it's as if he's waiting for me to ask the questions rather than explaining the whole things to me.

However... I just can't seems to hate this guy... It's almost... Pitiable of him.

"... T-then... What's our name? "

" Hougyouku, that's the name of you and me bear. Though we have a different birth, we are still the same. "

Hougyoku...? What is that? I've never heard that name before... Maybe there's something about it in the library. I'm going to check it again later.

" What is... Hougyoku? "
I asked beforehand.

" It's a creation made from people's wish of their deepest heart, which eventually born in the form of a crystal orb. That's our true identity, but our given birth, is different. "

" W-wait... What do you mean a stone? You're saying we both are a jewel? "

" Precisely. "

" That's... Not true. I'm a human... I had a family and I know very well that I came from my mother's womb... "

I feel like I want to shout at how ridiculous he is and what a lie is this. But... I know exactly that that is not true... Yet I still don't want believe this... Just right on the bat like that...

" You are a special existence born from your master's wish. Hence you were born as human but having the soul of a Hougyoku. While on other hand, I stay as a Hougyoku as part of your soul. Thus I dwell inside your body when you came into this world through death. "

T-that's... Too sudden... Wait... Actually...

His words... Now that I think about it, suddenly I remember Sousuke-san's words...

______
" Hasu, your name means Lotus. Lotus often associated with reincarnation because the way it's living through death and will die again to continue the next life. I thought how befitting that philosophy is. "
_____

That....

D-does... Sousuke-San know about this?

How peculiar, I feel like I'm out of breath but actually my breath is just fine.

" W-who is... My master then? "

"... Your master is, that man who create you, Aizen Sousuke. And my master is, the man who create me, Urahara Kisuke. "

....

... Madness... This is madness... And I'm a centimeter away before I fell into madness.

Sousuke-San... Just... Who am I exactly?

HEYHO everyone! Sorry to cut this chapter so short cus I'll save the bomb for the next chapter, EHEHEHEH.

Btw, here's the full picture of the beautiful boy ❤️

Forgive me if the drawing is not up to your expectation, I tried my best and actually I'm pretty proud of him. I'll give him a name later on, so we all can call him easily. Since Hougyoku is an entity for both Hasu and the boy.
