Faults
She couldn't believe that she had ever forgotten. The children entered her mind on a regular basis. She missed them dreadfully. She wanted to see Homura and Shizuku again. The urge to be at their side was unexplainable and irresistible. She wanted something that felt impossible but her heart could never believe that it was.
That was when she recalled Ichigo's words. After that unfortunate incident he tried to comfort her. His words struck a chord and she thought of them fondly. That she might find the siblings again left her with hope. However, there was no trace of such an event occurring in Shinigami history.
She re-counted their faults. Homura was stubborn. She was naïve somewhat, quite selfish and single-minded with a deadly determination. Shizuku was his own person. He stood apart from Homura in many ways but he was just as flawed. He was dark. He always held a despondent air. What she remembered most about him was how he was willing to fuse with his sister. The possibility of 'death' hadn't stopped him.
The possibility hadn't stopped Homura either. They were deadly and held onto their ambition of being with her steadfastly. Most condemned them as insane or simply as evil. She could never stand those who spoke of them like that. At least when they fought to keep her she was wanted. She was more wanted by them than by anybody else.
That led her to thoughts of her own faults. She was desperate to be wanted. That was a large enough fault. Her entire existence seemed to circle around that one truth from the moment she realised that. She strived to better herself. She strived for improvement. They would all notice her if she improved.
She even let her mind wander once. She hadn't intended for the thought to arise but it had. She knew that villains were always given attention. Traitorous villains were thought of in that respect even more so. The notion of becoming evil simply to gain attention was vile. She condemned herself but that only seemed to make her want it more.
Rukia cursed quietly;
Those stupid faults… Why couldn't they all be so imperfect?
Author's Note: I struggled with this. I've never seen the movie. I did the research on wikia. That isn't why I struggled with this though. These are meant to be fun and free. All I've been doing is forcing myself to continue. I'm not enjoying this at all. My writing has too many faults and my attention is too far away. However, that being said, I do hope, with a tiny portion of my soul, that you enjoyed my work. I thank you wholeheartedly for sparing the time to read my tale. I apologise if you are discontent with this.
