Ok...So I've been reading a bunch of 2nd POV stories, so I decided to write this. It sort of goes along with the 6th Chapter of my other fic, 'Dying Soul, Crimson Blade' But in another character (Ichigo's) perspective. This one didn't take me long to write, but it was a pain to put in all the '-' in between the lines....

This is really different from how I usually write, so please enjoy the story in this format! I hope some of you do like this, beacuse this is really odd for me, so it's sort of a wim story that I just started to write and grew into this!

I'd highly suggest listening to 'Never Meant to Belong' from the Bleach OST or some other sad piece of music if you can. Please read this slowly, it helps bring it out more, I think...

Implied IchiRuki, IchiHime beware!

Disclaimer: I don't own BLEACH...

Thump

Thump

-

-

-

-

It's warm in your hand, wet. As it pumps into your body...vital to existence.

Thump

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

You can hear it fade now, can't you?

-

-

-

-

Your life.

-

-

-

-

-

Thump ...

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

Thump ...

-

-

-

-

How easy it would be...to crush it.

-

-

-

-

To let someone else deal with the weight of the world.

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

It's slower now...You start to lull into the dream...

-

-

-

-

The dream you wanted before this happened.

-

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

They're dead...because of you... You're to blame.

-

-

-

-

-

-

You killed them.

-

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

The heavy burden, crushes you.

-

-

-

-

-

-

You've tried to carry it, tried to go on...

-

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

"...It's for my pride..."

-

-

-

-

-

"...It's for my bonds..."

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

'Why?' You had asked, what was the point of protecting those things...if you die doing it?

-

-

-

-

-

What was the point...of living...with out them?

-

-

-

-

-

-

No one to protect.

-

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

"I'm glade I knew you... I've always loved your face..."

-

-

-

-

-

-

More fade....they die by your hand...

-

-

-

-

-

Your claw...

-

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Then...It happens...

-

-

-

-

-

You lose again....lost in yourself...

-

-

-

-

-

"You bastard! You're not supposed to lose! You've always won! That was your resolve! Now fight it!"

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

You can not hear, you strike the chest...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Another falls....

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

Thump...

-

It's hard to bare...alone

-

You're alone now...

-

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

You try to fight back...before more are hurt...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

You run...you can not fight anymore...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump....

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

...Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

"What happen to you?! What made you so weak that you would give in to this! Fool!"

-

-

-

-

-

Thump....

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

You're lost...

-

-

-

-

-

Darkness is around you...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Crushing your soul...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Your heart...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

Warm light reaches you....A feeling you haven't felt in a while...

-

-

-

-

-

-

The light fades....

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump....

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

You hear a voice...

-

-

-

-

-

-

It's clear now...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

But weak...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

"Fool...Your not allowed to give up..."

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Your mind is won back...thanks to her...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

But you can not live with the guilt...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

So you tear out your heart...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump....

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Your grip grows tighter...the pain of their loss....it's too much....

-

-

-

-

-

-

Maybe in death....you will see them...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump....

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

....Thump....

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump.....

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

You close your eyes...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

And tighten your hand....

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Thump....

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

....Thu-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

It's done...

-

-

-

-

Your dead...your body falling back as your spirit floats above...

-

-

-

-

You see them...

-

-

-

-

-

-

They look fine...

-

-

-

-

-

-

All happy...All safe...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Your reach for them... You hand is just out of their grasp...

-

-

-

-

-

-

You wonder...

-

-

-

-

-

-

Will you be able to reach them?

-

-

-

-

-

-

Or will you sink to hell.... Where you belong?

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

A small hand grasps your own...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

"You're not going to hell....idiot"

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

She smiles...

-

-

-

-

-

You are brought to them...

-

-

-

-

-

You bow down...Shamed of yourself....

-

-

-

-

-

They yell at you...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

"It's not your fault!"

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

"I don't blame you..."

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

"Fool! Stop with that face! There's no need for that here! Come on!"

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

They lead you along...

-

-

-

-

-

Into the new world...

-

-

-

-

-

-

But you can't help but stop...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

They look back...All know what you think...

-

-

-

-

-

-

She grasps your hand again...

-

-

-

-

-

-

She helps you along...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

"I'm not going to be able to change your mind right now...Come on, we'll show you what it's like..."

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

You wonder...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

What is here?

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

She smiles once more...

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

"There is peace here..."

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Peace...you like that sound...
