This is a lead-up to one of my new stories for bleach, feel free to guess who's POV it's in or who's being talked about.

I don't own Bleach.

Enjoy!

I hate this, how everything was just dumped onto the shoulders of four teenagers. That uncaring shrug that you gave them when one of same teenagers gave up the very thing he cared for most. How can you care so little for the lives of your allies?

I hate the fact that you didn't even have the heart to ask them to help, knowing full well that they would have agreed to fight your war. That condescending glance that you all threw at him when he asked you a simple question.

I hate you, and your race and that smirk that rests upon your lips. The quiet sound of feet walking along wooded floors, I know well that they are yours.

I hate how you dropped contact with them when their usefulness ended. They were just tools to you, weren't they? Things to be tossed aside when there no longer existed a reason for them to fight at your side?

Despite the fact that I hate you and all that you stand for I find it impossible to not miss how things were, when he would come into the room with a spring in his steps, a purpose glinting in his bright eyes.

Now I sit here watching as he passes by, hair limp and dull, lacking the life that it once held, eyes dark and shadowed with sorrow and regret and fear. This is a man who is defeated and broken and dying, and how could you not notice that? This is a man who was defeated by those he trusted most, his allies and friends and nakama. Broken by his own side more than the tortures that the enemy forced upon his frail shoulders.

A boy forced to fight a war not his own.

This above everything else that you have done makes me hate you. Taking a life so thoroughly that this man, so young as to be a child yet standing against horrors that would make those twice his age cower in the corner, makes a dead corpse appear lively and bright in comparison.

You took advantage of him, of all of them, yet you care so little as to abandon such a willing ally. For this I hope you rot Hell.
