I can't do it…

Ichigo looked up at the sky, droplets of rain then splashed over his face. He continued to walk silently, the only sounds to be heard were the sound of his footsteps splashing in the rain puddles forming on the ground.

I miss him…

Ichigo was soaking wet by now, from being out in the rain for almost an hour. He continued on very slowly, the pain coursing through his body only got worse with each step. Since the winter war his wounds still haven't healed completely, now he's been encouraged to use those damn crutches but he has abandoned them so long ago.

it's too hard…

He stopped and looked up at the sky once more, this time he closed his eyes and felt the cold liquid wash over his face.

I can't…

He took one more step and his knees gave out. He fell down to his hands and knees.

I…

"..why?.."

Ichigo asked no one. He yelled out and punched the ground with his fist, tears were now streaming down his face.

"Why? Why did he have to…?"

'You shouldn't be pushing yourself.' They all say. 'You're still in critical condition. Please don't do anything irresponsible.'

Ichigo didn't know why he wouldn't listen. His body was in pain then and it still is now.

'There's been some serious damage done to your internal organs. You really need...'

After a while he stopped caring. A life without him wasn't a life worth living.

I-I…miss him too much…

"Why!?"

Ichigo yelled out one more time to the invisible force that took the love of his life away. Right now…right now it was hard, no, impossible to hold back his tears.

I…

Ichigo tried to pick himself up, but stopped when he felt a sharp piercing pain in his chest. This pain hurt way worse than all the wounds and pains he acquired after the war.

"…Toushirou…"

Was the last thing he was able to say before blood clogged his breathing passages and eventually came out in a hacking cough. Ichigo collapsed on the ground, a combination of tears and rain clouded his vision.

"…Tou…shi...rou…"

Before his vision went blank he could've sworn he'd seen his lost love standing before him, with his bright snow white hair glowing and penetrating the darkness.

I'm coming to join you…

Before he took his last breath and closed his eyes, he smiled faintly.

because I couldn't do it without you.
