Bleach is not mine.

A very short one shot...

………………………………………………………………………………………………

There was something wrong inside Kira Izuru's head. It was veiled with distant and reserved demeanor, but everybody noticed it. His footsteps were light and quiet; he disappeared completely, hidden behind his Captain's back. He felt safe.

His childhood memories were a blur. He could only remember a fraction of it; the bad parts, the fear.

"Izuru,"

Kira looked up. His light blue eyes shifted to his sword. The night was cold.

"Kill him."

He saw the young man in front of him, kneeling with his head hung low. Blood was everywhere. He could be treated, there was still time. Back-ups would come soon.

"Taicho…" His thin voice filled the air desperately.

Ichimaru snorted and turned his body around. He walked to Kira and wiped off some blood on the vice-captain's pale cheek. "Can't you see? He's in so much pain." He explained lightly, as if he talked to a child. Kira only managed to look at the bloodied grounds.

"Don't you want to make his pain go away?"

Soi-fon arrived at the scene, only to find a corpse. The body was chopped into seven pieces. Her vice-captain and subordinates felt sickened by the amount of blood. She caught the sight of Kira and Ichimaru; they were standing nearby. Soi-fon sighed and walked closer. Kira, his face was calm, stepped in front of her.

"Explain." She asked.

"Nine Hollows were exterminated. One of them was more powerful than expected, we lost a member." Kira looked at the corpse and then back at Soi-fon again. "Sagara Hijiri, the tenth seat. He fought bravely."

Soi-fon eyed him closely and then her eyes shifted to Ichimaru, who was standing behind Kira. Ichimaru smiled wider and waved his hand casually. Soi-fon looked away.

"Your job is done here." She said.

"Alright then…Let's go, Izuru."

Kira followed him from behind again.

"I feel like eating some rice-crackers." Ichimaru said.

"I will prepare them immediately when we arrived home." Kira answered automatically.

Ichimaru snorted.

Kira smiled and they both disappeared, leaving a confused Soi-fon.

There was something wrong inside Kira Izuru's head, something very wrong.
