Author Note: Meh, this quote was too good to pass up.
"My Little Children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."
I John 3:18, The Bible
"I owe her my life." That's all the information he would give to his friends. For someone so passionate and determined to save this one soul reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki had many muddled when he gave his reason.
Running through the battered streets of Soul Society, Ichigo wouldn't speak nothing more of Kuchiki Rukia to any of his comrades. He didn't have too. They all knew how important she was to him, even if he said he owed his life to her. They could all see the resolve in his eyes and the graceful movements of his limbs when he fought. For her, he would be at his best. For her, he would fight Lieutenants and Captains, fly through the air to the bridge of the Repentance cell, achieve bankai in three days, stop a fire bird from piercing her heart, and crush the very foundations on which Soul Society graced themselves on. He would break their necks, mock their laws, and make them grovel at her feet. All this for her, because he owed her his life.
But many people say, actions speak louder than words. And Love isn't just a feeble emotion to be pushed aside and messed with, to be twisted, or to be mocked. Love may come in many different forms, and it is the most desirable feeling among men.
"I owe her my life." Is what he said. Never mind that his deeds betrayed his tongue. Never mind that the exhilaration he felt when he fought wasn't due to the will of fighting, but due to the fact that every sword stroke brought him closer to her.
But all this was kept between his fighting comrades and friends. Besides, who were they to argue if he said that he owed her his life.
