Disclaimer: I still don't own any of these wonderful characters. (discreet sobbing)
This is the sequel to 'Can I Set You Free?' Thank you:
narakunohime: That's so sweet.
Drop of the Sweetest Poison: Well, here is my second story with this pairing.
Tek Sonay: What dreams? And yes, I can be stubborn.
seasnake.756: He was, wasn't he?
roxel-: Now there is! I hope you like.
KivaEmber: Actually, I don't know if he does. I agree sitting in Ichigo's inner world must get a little boring.
Within my body lies a heart,
A frozen blackened heart.
None could reach it,
None could free it.
Desperately I struggled,
With the blackness of my soul.
Only succeeding in entangling myself,
Further in the net of my inner turmoil.
A voice called to me.
It used my name.
I felt the ice that incased my heart,
Begin to slowly thaw.
And the threads of my self-woven net,
Were fraying at its command.
Someone once asked me a question.
One I never expected to answer.
'Can I set you free?'
Yes, you already have.
Hichigo resisted the urge to grin. His thick headed king had finally caught on. Of course, Ichigo didn't manage this on his own. Hichigo had come out and told him in the form of haikus. Even then, Ichigo still didn't get it right away.
It was alright now. Ichigo had finally figured it out and had publicly admitted that the feeling was mutual. Yes, Hichigo was having a good day.
In the real world, Ichigo was staring at the eighty-three that adorned his paper. He had worked hard on that poem. 'Why couldn't the teacher see that?'
"I think it's sweet king."
For once Ichigo was actually glad to hear his hollow's voice.
"Hey king,"
Ichigo set the paper down and lay back on his bed. 'Yes hollow?'
"Come visit me."
Hichigo asked it casually, but his unbeating heart constricted slightly at the possibility that his king would say no.
'I don't know how to enter my inner world.' Ichigo sighed. Zangetsu was always the one that took him to the deserted-city like place.
"I'll go find 'im for ya."
Ichigo paused before recalling that his hollow could read his thoughts. 'Don't be long.'
Hichigo cocked his head within said inner world before standing up.
"I won't."
The hollow shot off towards the Zanpaku-to's pole.
"Freedom is sweeter when we're together."
Thank you for reading and feel free to tell me what you think. I enjoy your comments. They make me smile. I was overjoyed that some even put my last on their favorites. Thank You!
