Chapter 5: The Flower Shop

The sun was shining. Ichigo was in front of the front door of the flower shop. The truth was that he had never stopped long to see it, it was a large shopping center, but full of flowers. He sighed the young man and stepped to turn the knob and enter.

When he was inside the gates of heaven seemed to open for Ichigo. He now he was in a small maze that seemed infinite. He grabbed determination of where there was none and went straight, there were too many types of flowers that they did not know but had in a striking sign: Dalia, Izote, Orquídea de la virgen, Sacunjoche, Monja Blanca, Guaria Morada. Nube, Flor de Cempasúchil among a lot of infinite varieties. Ichigo was afraid of getting lost over and over again, but he didn't lose the thread in remembering certain flowers so he could guide himself. The road was difficult, but he could stand his ground. . .but at that the voices began to resonate.

"Hello. . . What are you doing here miss? "

"Ow. You are very kind, but this is my home "

"What?! Seriously? A beautiful lady like you shouldn't be in all this rubble "

- What is this. . .? Who are you? - The young man touched his head with slight complaints.

"Don't be silly, I don't have many options where to go"

“Never say that miss. Here it may be rubble, but for some reason, there are a lot of sunflowers and the sunset goes very well with you. "

"What things do you say, hehe. Thank you, you are very chivalrous "

"It does not matter. People always deserve some attention and affection "

And that girl with honey-colored eyes was left seeing him shocked by the young man's words. The young woman smiled. . .

- ENOUGH! IT HURTS - Ichigo fell to the ground. . .thinking that the pain would end, but in that came more memories.

Young Ichigo couldn't contain those things that he saw in the gaps he had at that moment, for a minute he thought he was going to die, but then silence reigned. No sound other than air and the warm ray of the sun were present there. Ichigo slowly opened his eyes, he felt that someone was in front of him so he slightly decided to stand up and once standing he raised his head and everything happened.

The sun was bright, the wind blew lightly along with his brown hair. The girl smiled very sweetly, her tears came from those honey-colored eyes despite having the glasses on. The white shirt she was wearing pierced the light and you could see something of her bra, her humble shoes shone. The wind also lifted a little of her blue skirt, hand-sewn by her. Even her tears flowed from her, he laughed slightly and said:

-Finally. . .you finally found me. Ichigo. . . You still remember me right? Mai the girl with bright flower - and she finished with the same radiant smile as always.

In that the flashback occurred for both young people:

"It's a promise, really miss"

"Do not lie?"

"I'm not lying, it's from a Mexican heart."

"Ha ha. You're very funny Ichigo, but he's fine, he trusted you "

“Okay, I promise her when she grows up to get her out of here. I will not fail him! "

"I know. I will be waiting for you here, with the flowers. "

"Flowers. . . "

"Mai Kiri, you will never forget that name."

-Mai Kiri, is that you? - Asked the young Ichigo, the tears did not stop running down his cheeks.

-Ichigo Daisuki, that's how I am Mai. The same as ever! - Mai blushed slightly.

-It's you, so it was you. Or go, how long. . .- He couldn't say more, Ichigo had many questions.

-Quiet, come. - Mai spread her arms for an obvious warm hug.

Ichigo blushed, but continued the steps. The two were still crying, but in the end their arms crossed between the two of them. The hug lasted a long time, the slight sobs were heard, but the hug lasted.

Some time later they took off, the two looked at each other, but did not know what to say, in the end Mai broke the silence.

-Listen, I know you have terminal amnesia against you. You want to heal her and sincerely I want you to recover too. . I know it sounds crazy, but there on the outskirts of Tokyo where the heat does not reach and only the cold there is a forgotten world. "The spiritual world" calls itself, there they keep the biggest secrets that some of the elite keep for Tokyo and Mexico. There are the answers, there is where everything could be restored and have a better life. We didn't meet 10 minutes ago. . .we met 10 years ago, now is the time to act AND fight! - Mai exclaimed with a determined smile.

-You are right, by some strange coincidence in the local library they had a book of Mayan and Aztec mythology, if I know that such spiritual world I know how to get to it. . .and thus power what secrets they keep for humanity - Ichigo looked determined to Mai.

-Then do not say more, tomorrow morning we will leave- Mai said

- Are you sure? It is very hasty to go. Do you at least know where to start? - asked the young man.

-I have a small destination to find this spiritual world, a small house in the south are two archaeologists who were dedicated to looking for that spiritual world. He took a breath to sit on the edge of the table and stare at Ichigo.

-I understand miss, so tomorrow morning? - I ask with some embarrassment.

-That's right, I'll wait for you here- she smiled warmly

-Yes, here just. - Ichigo answered

Young Ichigo retired to his house, the afternoon was cold even though the sun was shining. Once Ai arrived she was asleep on the couch, that sister prepared some chilaquiles for her in case she arrived at night. Only the tears running off were the sound that was heard apart from the young man delicately eating those chilaquiles. Ichigo felt a twinge in his stomach, his guilt overwhelming him, but he calmed down by carrying Ai to bed.

-Do not. . fences you. . .brother . . .- whisper asleep Ai

Ichigo held back the tears, the cry that she wanted to hit "WHAT ELSE IF I FORGET EVERYTHING? It's just living a peaceful life with Ai. ”That thought was discarded when she went to sleep. The night seemed eternal for everyone, but the sun was the cause of the awakening that the youngest gave, everyone believed that the eldest was not there, but the youngest's smile was not erased when she saw that Ichigo was still asleep.

- Good morning brother! Ready for a rich breakfast? - Ai asked animatedly.

Ichigo struggled to get up, get dressed and smile one last time at Ai. She went to prepare Mexican eggs, while Ichigo prepared a small brown briefcase that someone had given her "Who was it?" she thought she, but she couldn't remember.

He ate slowly and enjoying every moment with her younger sister, Ai seemed to not realize that he was leaving to leave her. However, when he least expected it before leaving, Ichigo felt Ai's warm hand trembling. Ichigo couldn't hold back crying and burst into tears, with the last conversation with his younger sister.

"You promise not to take long."

“Ai, you know that I comply. I'll do it small. "

“PROMISE ME! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU "

". . . "

"Sure, heartfelt promise Ai. REALLY!"

"Fool. . . "

"Take care of the kitten that you always hid her, I love you so much sister"

Wait how do you know what? . . brother? . . . "

". . . "

“I love you too brother. . .fool. . . "

And the tears of the minor were lost in the garments of her clothes, the silence reigned and the young man left.
