A Note From Gioll:
HIYA!!! Thanks to you all for taking time to read this, it's my first fic, so please be gentle with the constructive criticism I hope you will all give me!
Enjoy!?
Ichigo sat on the ground, zangetsu by his side, panting. He'd done it, he'd won, he could feel her eyes on him, he'd felt them throughout the battle and it was finally time to meet her gaze. The problem was… he now couldn't turn away, he saw the concern in her eyes, the pain at the sight of his wounds, her eyes mesmerised him.
He knew a quick visit to 4th squad's base would heal him fully, but what about her? How could he heal her wounds??
No breaking eye contact he pushed himself up off the ground, using zangetsu as a crutch and wincing at the pain, and then again when he saw the pain reflected in her eyes.
He walked over to her slowly, sorting out how he felt, what to say. He loved her, he'd realised the first time they came to soul society, and he couldn't stop it.
Another step. Did she feel the same?? She seemed to try so hard to protect him, was it duty? Or could she? If she did, would this heal her?
Another step. His eyes were still locked with hers, he'd decided, it had to be done.
He finally reached her, slamming zangetsu into the ground, he leant on him, bringing himself closer to her, and finally broke eye contact, nervous
"Ichi….go" she whispered, confused by this erratic behaviour, unaware how her voice had affected him
Don't you dare back down he thought You Will tell her Ichigo turned his head up, locking blue, determined eyes with her shocking violet ones
"Rukia……I….I Love you"
Soooo, whaddid you all think?? Don't be shy, the link's just down a bit
I'm thinking about the possibiltiy of continuing this into more than a one-shot, opinions anyone?
