Well, let's get started then

DISCLAIMER: Come on, everyone knows I do not own bleah, TITE KUBO does.

Happy reading ;)

All the buildings were upside down, dark heavy clouds kept running fast trough the sided sky and thick icy rain came streaming down his face. The place looked familiar but he could not tell for sure where he was until he heard the insane maniac laugh of his inner hollow. Then it became clear to him. This was his inner world, and it was completely flooded. A shiver ran trough his spine as he walked to his hollow wondering how long have been raining inside of him; of course, he already knew the answer...

"How's it going King? Long time no see," Shiro said bitterly looking into Ichigo's hazel eyes.

"What are you doing running so freely around here, where's Zangetsu?"

"Oh King, haven't ya heard? Old man just hates the rain, and you got us on constant rain ever since..."

"Tell me where he is" Ichigo did not want his hollow to continue because he knew it was going to start talking about her.

Knowing what the King was trying to pull off, Shiro evilly smirked

"Why did ya do it, King, why did ya left the Queen over that...thing" Shiro said gripping his white zampaktou tight.

"D... Don't t...talk about Inoue like t...that" Ichigo wanted to yell at his hollow but his voice came out ragged, and as soon as he finished his last sentence, Shiro was at him gripping his throat, digging his sharp black nails and dripping blood out of Ichigo's flesh.

"Ya'r pathetic King, did ya know that?" Shiro's hot breath was tickling Ichigo's nose, he felt the white Zampaktou pressing against his right side, only at this moment did Ichigo realize that he did not have his black zampaktou with him, we was facing his hollow completely unarmed.

"Ya'r about to wake up next to that sorry ass girlfriend you replaced the Queen with, and when ya do, remember one thing, King" Shiro tightened the grip on Ichigo's throat and lowered his face till their foreheads where pressed against each other.

"I will have my Queen back, no matter what you do, and if you dare to stand in my way" He looked deeply inside his King's eyes, and was pleased to see them clouded by fear

"I will destroy you"

With this Shiro released Ichigo, who fell on his knees. Ichigo looked up and saw Shiro standing about ten feet away from him, with his huge white zampaktou resting over his shoulders.

Then he did something Shiro did not expect, he started to laugh sadly.

"Weren't you there when she left us?" He asked bitterly

"Weren't you listening when she said that she was to be in soul society, and I was to remain here and live a normal human life away from her, away from Renji too?"

Ichigo was in deed bitter, but he was also angry. He was angry at his hollow for reminding him of how much he needed her back in his life, for taking him down to his inner world just to show him what he already knew but refused to accept: that it had been raining ever since she left.

"Oh I was there King, and I saw right trough the Queen's lies. She lied to you so that thing you just fucked would not get hurt, she lied to you because she thought it was the best for you, she lied to you out of love, King. And you were so eager to take the easy way that you fell for all those lies".

Shiro's words were ripping Ichigo's heart apart, for he knew all of them to be true.

"We are fed up with the rain, King, we are fed up of being without her" And as Shiro's voice faded Ichigo woke up.

He sat on his bed, hugged his knees and cradled his head between his hands. Looking to his left, he saw Inoue's sleeping body. Her long orange hair splayed over her bare back and her huge chest waving up and down peacefully, at that moment, he felt deeply sorry for the girl beside him, for the only one he could think of and long for was certain petite, raven haired, indigo-violet eyed shinigami called Kuchiki Rukia.-
