Author's note: Story told in Hinamori's POV. It's short coz I got this sudden inspiration. Reviews are welcome.
"I… I love you."
And with that, the light in his eyes was gone. I felt my heart split into two. If only… if only I had been stronger, I would've protected him. I stared into his blue eyes which were now lifeless, and stroke his blonde hair. Kira-kun was important to me, and I loved him, more than I loved Shiro-chan, more than even Aizen. It was just that… I didn't realise how important he was to me, how much I loved him, until he lay there, dying in my own arms. He died to protect me, to protect me from Aizen, and what had I done in return? I did nothing but sit there and watch and questioned who I would help – my best friend or my adored former-captain which I realised long ago was my enemy and betrayed Soul Society.
I cried inwardly to myself but no tears came out of my eyes. I was a monster. I let so many people die. I let my own captain betray Soul Society. I let the one I truly loved die to protect me. I was really a monster.
"I love you too," I whispered to Kira-kun's ear, and looked at him one last time. I was going to kill Aizen, and if I couldn't then… I would die, by Kira's side, and hopefully repay everyone's help to me in the past few months and not be a burden to them anymore. I raised my sword and cried, "Hajike, Tobiume!"
I rushed to Aizen, screaming. Goodbye everyone. I… really hope that you can win the winter war now that I am no longer standing in the way.
And then, all I could see was a blinding white light and blood.
Author's Space (soz I just felt like doing this):
Izuru: How DARE you make me die?? That doesn't happen in the real storyline.
Me: Hehehe. Don't worry, its just a fanfic. You know that Tite Kubo won't let any of his main characters die... even if they look it. (it's actually true)
Izuru: Still... :(
Hinamori: Why am I such a wuss??
Izuru: AND IM NOT THAT CORNY EITHER!!! This author needs to tell the difference between dead and alive.
Me: Arent you guys both dead already???
Hinamori: Good point.
