Hichigo sat down across from Ichigo in the inner world within the boy's mind. Golden-black eyes shimmering out of anger and disgust, for the orange haired Kurosaki had just submitted to the fact that he was definitely in love with Orihime.

It was sickening on all levels for the albino, jealousy raging inside him as he crossed his arms stubbornly.

"So...ya really like 'er, don' ya, King?" he sneered, eyes narrowed while his pure white brows furrowed depressingly.

Ichigo nodded slowly, "Well, yeah...I mean...she's always been so worried about me and," He swallowed the lump in his dry throat, trying to ignore the Hollow's glare, "she told me she loved me, so..."

"Tch, whateva, King," Hichigo hissed angrily, "jus' be sure t' warn me when yer 'bout t' kiss th' crap outta 'er." A pang of guilt then weighed inside both look-a-likes' chest, the albino turning abruptly and slamming his eyes shut, biting on his lower lip harshly, drawing thick crimson liquid. "I don'...I don' care 'bout ya and that...that -"

He was supposed t' be mine, the albino thought as his heart sank, he was s'posed t' love me...me.

Ichigo slowly rose to his feet, stepping over to the depressed form and sitting down next to him, placing a reassuring hand on the white attire wearing form's shoulder, offering a warm smile. Yet, the white figure smacked the hand off of his broad, yet frail, shoulder.

"Don' touch me," he growled venomously.

"Hic-"

The Hollow abruptly stood, turning and walking off as he licked the blood up from his lower lip. Tears stinging his eyes.

How come she gets what I've wanted fer so long? Why?

He veered over his shoulder swiftly, seeing Ichigo's scowling face, his auburn eyes gazing into his own golden-black.

"You are jealous,"

"No I'm not!" he shouted, gasping as he quickly lifted his left hand up to cover his mouth from the sudden outburst.

Denial...

He breathed heavily as he released his mouth, chewing on the wounded, bleeding, lip. "I'm...not jealous of Orihime..."

That outburst... Ichigo thought as he watched Hichigo back up slowly. He denies it...but he is jealous of her.

Hichigo turned and quickly walked away from the shinigami.
