It was happening again.

Ichigo had lost control, his Hollow had taken over. As the casualties mounted in Hueco Mundo, Rukia had been injured once again by Ulquiorra, Ichigo just couldn't hold him back any longer.


I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind.

I left my body laying somewhere

In the sands of time.

But I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon,

I feel there is nothing I can do… yeah.


Floating in a sea of black, Ichigo was lost. One thought running through his head; I couldn't protect her.

He failed, and she was hurt.


I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon,

after all I knew it had to be something to do with you.

I really don't mind what happens now and then

as long as you'll be my friend at the end.


His Hollow laughed maniacally, slaughtering Hollows, Arrancar, even Espada with apparent ease. Ulquiorra fell, Yammy fell. Halibel was impaled upon his entire arm.

And then he was in front of Rukia.


If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?

If I'm alive and well, will you be there a-holding my hand?

I'll keep you by my side

With my superhuman might; Kryptonite.


Her arm was sliced open, her opposite shoulder torn to pieces, and yet there she was, standing quietly before the hollow.

His Kryptonite, the one that kept Ichigo King of his World. Now was the time.


You called me strong, you called me weak, but still your secrets I will keep,

you took for granted all the times I never let you down.

You stumbled in and bumped your head, If not for me then you'd be dead.

I picked you up and put you back on solid ground!


Those amethyst eyes rose to meet the black tinted ones, an air of defiance about her.

He retched backwards, screaming in pain. Ichigo saw. He knew he had intended to kill Rukia. The epitome of perfection in Ichigo's eyes, the one woman who could keep him King. And there it was, the resistance.


If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?

If I'm alive and well, will you be there a-holding my hand?

I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might; Kryptonite.

Yeah!


Her Superman, the one that always swore to protect her. The one she never thanked. Ichigo.

The one man she trusted with her life.

He would not be forestalled, his claws shot out, raking her upper arm, she didn't flinch.

She moved closer, unaware of her imminent death. She couldn't believe it. Ichigo would never let his hollow win. His power. His confidence.

His promise.


If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?

If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand?

I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might; Kryptonite.


Zangetsu lashed out, slicing into her cheek, splattering blood on the ground as it dribbled down her porcelain skin.

She took another step, lifting her arms apart and taking him into her embrace.

Hichigo couldn't move. Couldn't breath. This woman, what was she?

She leant up, holding him tightly.

"I love you."


If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?

If I'm alive and well, will you be there a-holding my hand?

I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might; Kryptonite.

Yeah!


The mask shattered, his right arm, enveloped by hollow bone, fell to the ground. His arms lifted, amber eyes staring into hers, and he enveloped her in his strong arms.

"I love you too, Rukia."


My first One-Shot. I was listening to the song Kryptonite by Three Doors Down, and realized it represented Ichigo and Rukia's relationship very well. I present to you, Kryptonite.
