This is just a Drabble of thoughts spoken by JB to Ichigo... This takes place during their fight when his zanpakuto broke... Imagine Isshin told Ichigo about his mom b4 he went to soul society and Ichigo finds out the truth about his sword from JB..and this story comes after...it's random has no structure.. I felt like writing it.. This can become a full blown story if people like it or see potential and make suggestions Italics is narration... I appreciate feedback :)
It burns... The rush of a thousand burning embers have found its way into his heart. He can't stop shaking. The image before him constantly questions how could he not see it? How could he be so weak?
"...You've been a simple toy spinning at the whim of others? Why did I think so much of you?
... "A blind man makes for an easy target. You don't belong in this jungle there are lions here."
..."Let me teach you all the things your father couldn't"...
His mind...the words... They all burn... How could it be this whole time...
"Give me your hand and let me guide you out of the darkness..."
It doesn't matter what the cloaked figure says.. His ears are shot to hell those embers spread, multiply, and burn everything in its sight. Nothing left but blood... Which took the place of tears when his body could make no more... He was done...
"Your mother wouldn't have wanted it this way, but look at what you have done... She cries for you because of all the things you cannot see."
He's drowning now... Into unknown depths... He will not rise alone.. He will not overcome... Because he has never been able to do so alone.
"...You always loved the rain... It excited you and brought out something unique... It was a beautiful thing... But beautiful things need to be protected...shielded from a world that won't understand...but there she was willing to embrace it... and you loved her for it... So much so you couldn't contain yourself..."
"Don't you remember Ichigo?... Don't you remember what you had done?"
He lies there motionless barely breathing unable to comprehend because his mind has left him...
His mumbles barely audible, but if you listen closely repeated whispers of 'no..no..no..' are carried into the air a clear illustration of his refusal to accept.
"I will make you see. I will tear you down to make you whole again."
"...it is fear that brings pain... I will have none of that. You will come home to where your mother was born and you will be with her again...take my hand..."
"...she embraced it because she understood that in this world things like you... me...us should not exist..it exceed the bounds of reality and causes chaos...so she was willing to make that sacrifice... one less monster..."
"I am here to cleanse you and bring you back to righteousness...take my hand so I can quench the fire in your heart...I will not fail you like the others...at the brink of darkness there is light"
His footsteps are light but demand a sense of authority. "In order to overcome you must accept the things you have done" With a hand outstretched he towers above the broken boy...waiting to be accepted...
