Ichigo's POV:

I Love You

When we first met,

I had my suspicions,

I couldn't trust you.

You said you were a death god,

A mystical being I had never heard of,

Who could believe?

I sure couldn't.

But then,

What you called a hollow came,

It had attacked my family.

I was angry that it had hurt me,

I was blind with anger,

You protected me,

You sacrificed yourself for me.

That instance I trusted you,

I knew that I could've died without you.

My whole family could've died.

You were weak after that,

You were all bloody and in pain.

From that moment I knew I had to protect.

But the way I was right now it couldn't be possible.

You gave me the power,

The strength,

The will,

I was triumphant,

The hollow had died,

While screaming in agony.

From that day on,

You were always by my side,

We were together a team,

I hid my feelings away from you.

When you left me,

Crying those tears I never thought you would cry,

I fell onto the ground in agony,

That was when I realized,

I love you.

I love you more than anything in my life.

I would die for you.

I would do anything just to be with you.

Anything.

Then why,

Did I not protect you?

While you left threatening,

That you will never forgive me if I followed,

Why did I not listen?

Why did I not heave my bloody self up to be with you?

Why did I let them take you?

I love you so much yet I couldn't protect.

I will get stronger.

This won't happen again.

I will never let you die again.

Please stay by my side.
