Disclamier: Yea... I dont own Bleach...
So this is an idea I would like to thank sblack13 for. This chapter is sort of just a prologue about what happened. The overall story is going to be that Ichigo feels betrayed by the Shinigami so he is going to end up working with Aizen. Possible insanity... Possible Hollow Ichigo... and Possible GrimmIchi ;)
Anything that you really want to see? Just tell me. Oh, and review. If you don't review I swear I'll end up haunting you in your sleep o.O
There is too many.
Ichigo can only lay useless on the ground, unable to move. He desperately tries to push himself up, forcefully trying to make his torn body work. Blood spills from his many wounds, rendering him unable to even prop himself up on his elbows. He stays on the ground, forced to watch through tear stained eyes as his world is destroyed.
From where Ichigo is held to the ground by his own blood, or lack of, he can't actually see much. But he knows. He knows what is happening all too well.
He can hear Yuzu's crying.
He can hear Karin's false reassurances.
But he can't do anything.
The only thing Ichigo is capable of doing, is watching his Father fight an impossible battle.
And help was nowhere.
A swell of bitterness fills his mangled body as he watches the Hollows surround his family. He feels close to puking when his Father gets cut down, falling to his knees but still trying to guard his daughters. He wants to disappear as he sees in clear view now Yuzu and Karin's terrified expressions, as they scream out in fear.
Why was no one here to help?
"No…" Ichigo chokes out, blood and despair escaping his mouth.
The Hollows tear through his family. Blood seems to fly through the air in slow motion as it lightly rains to the ground, a drizzle.
"Stop!" Ichigo cries out, his useless hand reaching out shakily to try to do something, anything.
His families torn bodies fall to the ground, their eyes open but lifeless. His Father's expression is so empty, not it's usual liveliness. Yuzu's is a snapshot of her dying fear, not the strong independent young women she had become. And Karin's a faraway look, not the usual down to earth young women she had been.
It all was so wrong…
Why had nobody come?
A roar that isn't human sounds, shaking the whole ground with its power. It is of rage… of despair… of regret… of betrayal.
Ichigo isn't even aware that the roar is coming from his mouth, or that he had gotten to his feet. All he is aware of is how much he wanted everything to disappear, to just end. Everything. And the Hollows seemed like a mocking symbol.
A good place to start.
Then everything gets hazy, distorted. It's too red. Blood rains to the ground, flying everywhere. It isn't a drizzle, no. It pours to the ground, staining the earth scarlet. The Hollows fall amongst it, their faces surprised.
They disappear, fading away, leaving only a lone, orange haired teen. Something catches Ichigo's eye, a hand. He stares at it curiously, noting the blood color that soils it. As he is staring it twitches and reaches out. His eyes open in wonder, and then it dawns on him. He finally realizes that it's his own hand.
Ichigo glances around, his eyes turning unemotional as he takes in the scene of carnage. Something rustles above him and he lifts his head. Dark shapes are flying in the sky, fleeing. A swell of bitterness and rage swells within him, they are probably going to ruin someone else's life. His sword is out without him even thinking. A dark blast of energy makes the shapes disappear in the time span it took him to blink.
His hand drops limply to his side, still holding his black sword. Something wet drops on his cheek. Again and again, until it becomes a steady rhythm. He lifts his other arm and wipes his cheek on the torn cloth. He just stares as he sees the red stain glistening.
Ichigo glances up, more of the red stuff, blood, falling from the sky. He smiles, it is a deranged, raw thing. A laugh shakes his body uncontrollably, all of his sanity pulled thin.
He had been betrayed.
No one had come.
He had failed.
The thin string of his sanity snaps as everything goes black.
