I do not own bleach or its characters
CHAPTER 1
It was three weeks after the defeat of Aizen, and there was finally a time for peace. Well….for most of the shinigami. A lot of people were surprised when I decided to stay in Soul Society when my brother said I had permission to leave. But I couldn't go back into the real world with him. It would just hurt more. To see him and know thathe doesn't feel the same way.
I should've known he would like Inoue. She was pretty and kind and more importantly…she was human. Ichigo and I would never have worked anyways. We were the complete opposite. He had a warm glow that surrounds him even with his always visible scowl. Me- I was just plain cold. He was alive, I was dead. It just wasn't meant to be.
I knew Inoue liked him- everyone did. But no one knew if he returned her affection.
'I guess I know now how he feels', I think sadly. It happened just three weeks ago.
FLASHBACK
Ichigo was fighting in Ulquiorra in the tower. After I had finished of my opponent, I snuck into the tower to make sure he was alright. Apparently, I had just came in time. I had just walked inside the hall the fight took place in when I saw it. Ichigo had just defeated Ulquiorra and finally rescued Orihime. Orihime was on the ground dusting herself off as Ichigo was sheathing his sword. I was at an angle so they couldn't see me. I saw Ichigo walk over to her and gave her a hand.
" Are you ok, Orihime?" Asked Ichigo. Orihime looked up at Ichigo with surprised. Ichigo had never called her by her first name before. I was also surprised at this
" H- hai Kurosaki-kun, a- arigato", Orihime stuttered out blushing. I saw her slip her petit hand into his. He gripped it tightly and gently helped her to her feet.
" That's good, because I don't know what I would have done if something happened to you", Ichigo said warmly, looking tenderly at Orihime. He then swiftly pulled her into a hug holding her close with his head placed on her shoulders. Orihime gasped in shock. After a couple of seconds, her trembling arms slowly returned his embrace.
"K-Kurosaki-kun", she whispered silently before burying her head into his chest.
End of Flashback
At that moment, I pretty much lost my will to live. It was like curse that cast over me. Renji, my childhood friend and also best friend, also deserted me when I truly needed me. And my brother, who I have the most respect for, doesn't even glance at me let alone love me.
And now Ichigo. I don't know when exactly I started to fall for him but all I know is that when I did, I fell for him hard. I still remember the way I had felt at that time. When I saw them embracing…..I-I j-just couldn't hold it in anymore. I felt tears stinging at my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. The lump in my throat grew bigger and it was getting hard to swallow. I knew I had to get out of here- anywhere away from those two.
So I had run out of the tower. The passage way between Hueco Mundo and the Soul Society had been repaired and the shinigami could now leave the place. The passage way had conveniently just been opened so I hurried through it, leaving the other shinigami confused. I soon then found myself sitting on the floor in the corner of my room in the Kuchiki Mansion. And now, after reminiscing of what happened three weeks ago, I could feel the walls that I had built that kept my emotions hidden slowly crumble.
I wrapped my arms tightly around my knees when I felt tears steam down my face. It had been so long since the last time I had cried and the feeling was unfamiliar to me. As more and more tears fell down, I tried to control my half shocking sobs from escaping my mouth. But my efforts were in vain. I lowered my head and started weeping loudly. I had been stabbed effortlessly by hollows, but never have I ever felt as much pain as I feel now.
