Ichigo's POV
How? How can she do this to me? How can she, so powerfully, stop me like that? I wanted to protect her? I wanted to keep her safe. I just wanted to be there for her. Like she's been there for me. But she stopped me. She stopped me in my tracks. In the end, I couldn't protect her like I wanted to. In the end, I couldn't be there for her. In the end, it was she who protected me. Like she always has. Am I really this weak? She was being attacked. She was in danger and I wanted to be there to protect her and save her. I wanted to be there for her. To keep her safe. But I couldn't. In the end, she knew that she had to save me. Not me save her. Why was I so weak? She was snatched from me so forcefully. She was taken from me so soon. She was gone before I even knew it. So why can't I be there for her? Why can't I go after her? Maybe I can get stronger. Maybe I can become better. Maybe I can save her. Maybe I won't be the one that needs protecting. I don't want to be the weak one. I don't want to be the one always needing help. I don't want to hold her back anymore. I don't want to be her burden to bear. I will become strong, stronger than I've ever been. Stronger than the biggest mountain. Stronger than anything. I will become better. Better than anyone could imagine. Better than even I could dream of. I will bring her back. I will. I have to. No but's, what if's, or anything like that. I will do it. I know there will be a time when I can protect without needing help. When I can save others without having to be saved myself. When I can truly become strong and powerful. To help others. To protect those I care about. My family. My friends. I just want to be there for them. For her. But I can't do it alone. I can't just train like an amateur. I need a teacher. A teacher that's great and powerful himself, one that can test my limits and truly make me the strongest person ever. A teacher that will challenge me, one that will help me accomplish my goal. I don't know if the man I have in mind will help nor do I know much about him, but if he can help me do this, then it doesn't matter. What matters is saving her and being there for her when she needs it the most. When her darkest hour comes to her, I want to be there and make all the darkness disappear. When the rain falls on her heart, I want to be there and make the rain stop and make the sun shine. So please, teach me well.
so here's another drabble. it's from ichigo's POV and these are his thoughts after rukia gets taken away by her brother and renji. so i guess these thoughts are going through his head in school before he meets back up with Urahara to begin training. if you notice, all you bleach fans, that in the actual manga, ichigo really does say, "teach me well." where i got this from. oh, how clever. anyways, please read and review! thanks:
