Hero
Everybody thought that Ichigo was a hero. Ichigo knew he is not.
Everytime he went to Soul Society everyone bowed when they saw him. At the beginning Ichigo had smiled and said they don't have to do that. Their keep doing that even tow years after the war.
He did not pay attention anymore. It pisses him of.
He was NOT a hero.
Sure, he had fought with Aizen, but he had lost the fight. He had knelt before Aizen, totaly defensless. Ichigo would be dead if not Urahara has saved him. The blonde shopkeeper appeared out of nowhere and saved his ass. Kisuke had fought Aizen with a murderous glare. Ichigo just knelt there and watched until Aizen got sealed away. It just seemed perfect. They had survived.
Kisuke turned around to smile at the redhead.
Sadly, Aizen was not done.
With his last power the bastard grabbed Kisuke in a death grip. Both were sealed. The last thing Ichigo remember to see and hear from the blond was a pair of shocked, grey eyes and a cry full of fear.
And he just sat there and watched. This eyes, this cry, it followed him in his dreams.
It was not your fault Ichigo. C'mon you saved us! They would say.
As Aizen gripped Kisuke, he knocked his hat off. Ichigo took the hat with him. He kept it next to his pillow.
Kisuke Urahara, his teacher, his fiend, his lover just saved him and paid a huge price.
No one paid attention to that simple fact.
Ichigo will just go every day to that seal and sit there. Orihime asked him why.
He shrugged his shoulders and said "Because I can feel his presence there. It's not like he is dead."
The girl just looked at him with huge eyes.
Ichigo was not in grief because of a dead friend. He was in grief because of a lost friend.
This friend just gave up his life for him. He sometimes wondered how it is to be sealed away. To can't move or speak. Can't breath. Perhaps Kisuke can see and hear. The redhead hopes that he can see him.
Because he is not dead. And Ichigo is not a hero.
