"Augh! Why did I have to be so stupid! Stupid! Stupid! STUPID!" The albino punched a nearby building. "Calling him weak?! That's not a good way to impress him! AUGH!" The inversed boy slouched. "I just... I just wanted to protect him... he was going to lose... I just want to..." He looked up to the sky. "We're the same person... so why can't I know what he's thinking? What he's feeling? Why doesn't he know how I feel..." The teen's eyes stung. "Troubled young one?" a deep voice asked. The snowy haired boy spun around to see where the voice was coming from. "Oh, it's you, old man." He said in a some what annoyed tone of voice. "Is that anyway to treat me? I let you out didn't I?"
"Yeah, and I made a complete fool of myself!"
"I thought you fought quite well..."
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" An awkward silence followed the young visard's outburst.
"... then, pray tell, what is the point?"
"It's... it's nothing..."
"...It has something to do with Ichigo, doesn't it?"
"Old man..."
"You've claimed that you were going to consume his soul, yet you've done nothing of the sort..."
"Zangetsu..."
"You haven't even spoken to him..."
"Just..."
"And I've seen you look sadly into the sky many a time..."
"SHUT UP!" the depressed boy screamed. A long pause passed between the two warriors. As Zangetsu was about to leave the confused teen asked, " Zangetsu?"
"Yes young one?"
"...can hallows feel?" he gave Zangetsu a hopeful look.
The elder man pondered for a moment. "In what way?" he asked, cautious not to crush the other's hope.
"Like, feelings?" the albino's golden eyes gleamed with a hopeful sadness.
"Hmm... well, not that I know of. But, humans aren't supposed to be soul reapers either."
"Thanks Zangetsu..." The boy tried to show that he hadn't been disappointed.
"...Are you sure you're fine young one?"
"yeah, thanks." The teen shunpo'd to a different building without a sound. Zangetsu gave him a long and pitiful look and turned away to return to his activities.
"Ichigo..." Hichigo looked up into the sideways sky, "sometimes I wish that when I'm sad, it would rain in your world... So you might know how it pains me... to know that you see me as a monster..." The hallow's eyes burned with the inevitable tears. "Ichigo... I'm sorry..." And with that he fell onto his knees, tears streaming down his eyes, "I'm sorry that you'll never know how I feel..."
"Huh," The red haired teen looked out his bedroom window, "it's raining... weird." And resumed beating up his insane father.
