Fipp: I'm a little disappointed that Kon simply disappeared before the Hueco Mundo Arc, and hasn't been seen since. I'm always liked his character, and I wish he at least been mentioned in the Fullbringer Arc.
This is why I'm loving the Gotei 13 Invading Army Arc, due to how important Kon became in it.
Only Kon
Cold and icy rain fell from the sky, piercing the spindly branches of the forest. Mud covered the paths, dotted by several large puddles covered the ground below.
Within in the middle of one of these paths, someone was screaming and yelling.
"GRAHHH!" A stone sat in the middle of the path. Upon this stone was a small stuffed-animal, held to the stone by three small and shinning lights at its shoulders and waist. "C'mon! C'mon!" it yelled, frantically against the lights, trying to move.
This stuffed animal was Kon.
"Ichigo!" Kon screamed, "Stop being a lazy bastard and GET THE HELL UP!"
From his face-down position in the blood-stained mud, Ichigo didn't respond.
"ICHIGO!" Kon yelled at the top of his lungs, furiously glaring at the boy. "GET UP! GET UP! GET UP!"
Ichigo still didn't respond.
"ICHIGO!" Kon banged his head and legs against the rock so hard small tears appeared at his seems. "You have to get up! That bastard Inaba took Nozomi! You have to get and SAVE HER!"
Kon then suddenly stopped struggling, and his body went limp. "Ichigo, please!" This time, he cries were filled more with sorrow than the previously seen rage.
The Mod Soul saw that Ichigo's robes were not bleach white, instead of pitch black.
Did, did he lose his powers already?
Kon knew that it would only be a matter of time before he did, but did it already happen? He had felt Ichigo's spiritual pressure slowly fall over the last few days, and then drastically drop during the last battle with that bastard. Now, Kon couldn't sense even the most minute wisp of energy from him.
"Dammit Ichigo!" Kon resumed his frantic flailing. "You better not have lost your powers already! You can't lose them until she's safe!"
Still, Kon received no response.
Kon screamed in aggravation. "Fine! If you're going to be that way, then I'll-!"
It was then that a horrifying realization came over him.
Ichigo no longer could use his Shinigami powers. No one knew if the captain were alive or dead. The vice-captain were all taken out, each one badly injured. Renji, Ishida, Chad, and Rukia all were in no better condition then they were.
And even the old geezer, who everyone said couldn't be beaten, was indeed beaten.
That meant there was no one left to rescue Nozomi.
Except him.
But, what could he do? If all those people were beaten, then what hope did he have of going to Soul Society, fighting his way through all those Regai, beating Inaba, and rescuing Nozomi all by himself?
Sure, if he was put into a better body, he probably run faster then anyone else, but nothing beyond that.
Tears stung Kon's eyes, before they broke free, before being absorbed into his already soaked stuffed body.
There was nothing he could do. He wasn't strong. He wasn't fast. He wasn't brave. He wasn't big.
The best he could do was throw a rock, and even that didn't do anything but leave a small bruise at best.
Nozomi would suffer whatever cruel fate Inaba had planned for her, and Kon had absolutely no power to do anything. He couldn't even break this weak kido spell that trapped him to the rock.
Soft sobs went unheard, covered by the sound of the falling rain, as Kon cried over his own weakness, his own inability to do anything, his own powerlessness.
After all, he was only nothing.
He was only Kon.
