I smile at her. "I'll be fine... Thank you for your concern..." I said, softly. She smiles happily at me. Slowly I begin to talk more with everyone here. With just one thought inside my head.

Is this what friendship is?

-Hanging Out With Ichigo-

Y/N P.O.V

Its weekend... Meaning, there's no school. Then I can have time for myself. But what should I do? I won't stay all day in bed. I want to do something.

I glance over to my guitar, leaning against the wall. I smile to myself. Maybe I could find a peaceful place to play some tune. Yeah, I could do that.

Once that's settled, I decide to get up from my bed. Then head towards the bathroom for my morning routine.

After my shower. I walk over to my wardrobe to pick an outfit for the day. "What should I wear?" I say to myself.

(The one in the middle... Or you want to choose a different one... your choice😊)

Since I'm not a girly type of girl. I'm settled with a pair of shorts. I give myself a nod of approval. I grab my guitar and leave my room. Then I continue my way out of the apartment.

I walk around the town, with a guitar slung over my shoulder. 'Hm... I wonder where I should go...' I thought to myself. Then my eyes lit up. "I know!" I said. Then I make my way to my destination.

This is an open rooftop garden. No one really came here... This garden is abandon. So this place is perfect. I game a seat on the bench. Then I place my guitar on my lap and start playing a soft tune.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

I can sense someone here with me and I know exactly who it was. But I just ignore him. I keep my eyes closed as I continue playing.

Ichigo P.O.V

I wanted to the take a walk around the town. As I walk, I spot Y/N coming out from one of the apartment. 'So that's where she lives...' I thought to myself.

Then I realise she's carrying something in her back. 'Looks like a guitar...' I thought. I decide to follow her. I try to be as silent as possible. I realise she's heading somewhere.

'How did she know this place? This place is abandoned...' I thought to myself. Then she take a seat on an old wooden chair.

I stay silent as she takes our her guitar. Then she starts playing a soft tune. My eyes widen when the plants react, and the dead flowers starts to come back to life.

I look around in shock. Then I look back at her. She's emitting a soft glow from her body. 'What is she?' I thought to myself as I stare at her as she continue play her guitar.

She stops playing, then the plants becomes dead again. I move to hide, in case she looks my way. "You can come out now, Ichigo... I've always knew you were following me since I came out from my apartment" I heard her say. My eyes widen in shock after I heard what she just said.

I walk out from my hiding spot. She have her eyes set on some of the dead flowers. "How did you know?" I ask. "I can't tell you..." She said. I frown and walk forward. I sit down on the seat next to her's.

"How did you do that?" I ask, as I look at her. She turn her head to look at me. "Do what?" She said. "I saw what you did... When you play a tune from your guitar... The whole garden came back to life" I said. She laughs "you're being delusional..." She said. "Y/N... I know what I saw..." I said, looking at her with a serious expression. Her expression change as she looks away from me. There's a moment of silent.

"I know what you are..." She said, not looking at me. I look at her wide-eyed. "W-what?" I stutter. She turn her head to look at me. "You are an interesting man... Shinigami..." She said. My eyes widen in shock. "H-how did you k-know??" I said. "I can't tell you... But I have a feeling that you'll find out soon..." She said. Then she gets up. "I have to go now... See ya later, Ichigo..." She said. Then she starts to walk away.

"Wait!" I exclaim. She stops and turn to look at me. "What is it?" She said. "Wanna hang out?" I ask. She stayed silent for a bit. Then she start to smile. "Yeah... Sure..." She said. I let out a sigh of relief, I almost thought she'd refuse to hang out with me. I can use this chance to get to know her better. Maybe find out the secret she's been hiding.

Time-skip

Y/N P.O.V

Ichigo end up coming to my apartment. I open the door. "This is my home... Nothing special... And I lived alone..." I said, letting him in.

He looks at me "alone? Wow... It must be really lonely..." He said. I shrug my shoulder. "I've always been alone my whole life... So I'm pretty much used to it..." I said. He frowns as he gives me a knowing look. "That's why you've been acting so cold..." He said. I look away from him "yeah... You could say that..." I said. I place my guitar down next to the couch. I rented a fully furnished apartment, so I have everything I need here.

"What do you want to do?" I ask Ichigo, who is sitting on the couch. "Don't know... What do you do on your free time?" He ask. "Nothing... I would just read books... Play some music..." I said, shrugging my shoulder. "I see... So... Can you play some more?" He said, gesturing to the guitar.

"I never played indoor..." I said. "Why not?" He said. "You know why... My music affect our surrounding... Just like what happened to the plants back in that abandoned garden..." I said, not looking at him.

"You're so mysterious, Y/N..." He said. I just smile at him. "Not so mysterious if you knew the truth..." I said. "So are you gonna tell me?" He said, looking at me expectantly. "No... You will know soon..." I said. He lets out a huff in frustration. I just laugh at him, making him blush.

"Y-you laugh..." He said, blushing slightly. I raise my eye-brow at him. "Is that wrong?" I ask. He shakes his head "n-no... Y-you should laugh more... I-it suits y-you..." He said with a nervous tone.

We end up just talking. Getting to know each other. Turns out his whole friends are similar. All of them have their own ability to fight.

It's getting late. "You should head back... Your family would be worried..." I said, looking out the window. He follows my eyes and nod his head. "Yeah... You're right..." He said. He get up, and I walk him to the front door.

I open the door for him. "Thank you for your visit..." I said, smiling at him. He looks at me for a while. Then with a quick movements, he place a soft kiss on my forehead. Then he run away, but I can see the blush in his cheeks. I can feel my own cheeks turning red. I place my hand on my forehead, where he placed a kiss.

My heart starts beating in a rapid pace. What is this feelings? Is this what humans called love. I never knew I'm capable of having an emotion... Such as love.

I shrug my shoulder. Then I head towards my room. I lay on my bed, I close my eyes. With Ichigo on my mind... I drift of to sleep. Not knowing someone is watching me.

Unknown P.O.V

'Well... Well... Well... It looks like I've found the substitute shinigami's weakness. This will be a great information for the boss' I thought as I start to laugh. Then I leave the place. I need to get this information to the boss.

The substitute Shinigami have a weakness... That girl will be the key to his downfall.
