"We might sin from time to time, Ichigo, and we might regret these sins, but we mustn't tie ourselves to them, or we will dive our souls into the depths of the unknown, life isn't about what have you done, it's about what you're going to do, humans and shinigame were created to forget for a reason ...to forget the pain."
Sunny, a little bit of cool air, steps of running kids, and cars passing by.
"Seems like another boring day" Ichigo's words spoken out of uninterest in going out in such a day...or any.
"Are you talking to your self?" Rukia popped out of his closet, amusement clear on her face.
"I was talking to you" Ichigo said with his face still pinned to his open window, reminded by the reason he had to keep on with everything he has...her.
"Oh, how did you know I wasn't sleeping?"
"I heard you moving and rolling around in the closet, something a quite sleeper like you won't do"
"Okaaay, how do you know that?" Some will say she's asking out of fear from Ichigo's inner-pervert, but she had a completely different reason.
"I couldn't sleep since that day...and at night I'm stuck to doing and hearing nothing."Ichigo filled with pain,sorrow and regret.
-FLASH-BACK-FLASH-BACK-
everyone looked at Ichigo, unable to speak from the horror they are seeing.
"ICHIGO!STOP IT!"
"KUROSAKI! THATS NOT YOU...WAKE UP AND DON'T LET YOUR HOLLOW CONTROL YOU"
"Hollow? I AM Ichigo" He said with pure venom out of his mouth, everyone looked stunned at the unbelievable words.
"He's right I'm not sensing any hollow riatsu from him"
"But...why?...WHY?" Riruka said with endless tears on her face.
"He deserved it, you can take him now, I'm finished anyhow" Ichigo threw the remains of Ginjou's distorted body at his friends, with half his body somewhere and his eyes cut just like he did once to ichigo...and destroyed as if the intent of his murder is to erase his existence.
-FLASH-BACK-ENDS-FLASH-BACK-ENDS-
Ichigo turned around to look at Rukia.
'she looks beautiful'
"I'm scared Rukia, I'm scared from myself" tears almost falling if not for Rukia's sudden embrace.
"It's okay Ichigo, I'm with you now, and I'll always be with you."
"Thank you Rukia." Rukia cheeks slowly turning red from ichigo tightening the embrace.
"Oh...ummm ,how about we go somewhere today if it's so boring after all." rukia trying to get out of Ichigo's grip and change the subject.
"Ok, where do you wanna go." Rukia's plan to make him let go worked.
"How about the park? You need some fresh air after staying here for so long."
"Ok." "Great, lets get ready before-"
"ICH-I-GOOOOOOO!"
"Oh boy."
