Ichigo's Point Of View

I have committed a great taboo…

I have fallen for one of my enemies. I don't know how, when or even why I did, but when I fought him I found that I did not want to hurt him. I did not want to fight him, even if it meant betraying those that I cared about, betraying all that I had known.

But still, I fought him. Every time we crossed paths I hid my feelings and did as I was supposed to. And during our last fight against each other…

He died.

Since then I cannot forget him, I can't get the memories of him out of my head. I still think about him every day. I still remember the look on his face when he died, his soul fading. I miss everything about him. His condescending smile, which I had found so annoying in the past, that I had wanted to swipe it off of his face, was now so dear to me.

It brought me to tears on multiple occasions when I thought about it. His eyes, 'those damned eyes' that showed such animosity, were and still are so important to me. They were so beautiful. Those eyes that were so precious to me I would never see again. Those eyes haunted me and were a constant in my dreams; they were gone without the owner of them knowing how I felt.

I sighed and started walking to the meeting hall in the Soul Society. I shook my head, trying to rid myself of these memories. The Soul Reaper Captains were gathered there to decide the fate of a soul in front of all the squads' high rank seats. They had asked me to watch the proceedings and give my opinion. Sure, it was boring but I was curious as to who the soul was and why the other Squad Captains wanted my insight on what should happen to that soul. I walked through the doors to find the Captains, Lieutenants, Urahara, and other squad members arguing.

I made my way through the squabbling shinigami, surprised to find that even the calm and regal Byakuya Kuchiki was in a heated argument with Kenpachi Zeraki. As I got a glimpse at the soul from the crowds I saw locks of spiked sky blue hair. I felt my heart beat painfully in my chest, hammering against my ribs. 'This feeling…' I thought while clutching my hand to my chest.

I've felt this way before but only when I saw… I squeezed through another pair of arguing lieutenants, desperate to see the soul for myself, finding myself mere feet away from him. 'Those eyes', they were looking straight at me. "That's not possible." I whispered to myself in complete disbelief. The soul whose fate was being decided today was the person that I have loved for years.
