YAY! CHAPTER FOUR! XD
I know some of you were excpecting something...dramatic, but well...you'll find out soon enough! XD
Dicsclaimer: Bleach own not I do
In the distance he saw someone walking towards them, before everything went black...
Ichigo opened his eyes and found himself in a completley dark room.
"Wh-where am I?" He asked out loud.
"So you're finally awake, huh? A voice asked from the corner of the room.
"Mr. Hat 'n' Clogs? What's going on? why am I here?" Ichigo demanded.
"You mean you don't remeber?"
"Remeber what?" As soon as he said it the memories of the nights event invaded his mind.
"Is Rukia...and Renji...?" He started avoiding the shop keepers eyes, "Are they ok?"
"They're both in critical condition, but they'll survive. Good thing we showed up when we did though..." Urahara said, noth bothering to finish the sentence.
Ichigo already knew what he was going to say, Or else they'd be dead. Because of me!
"Well I'll let you rest." Kisuke said, leaving the teenage boy to wallow in his thoughts.
How could I let this happen?
How could I be so...weak?
It was that girl, Hinata!
Why would she do that? Who is she working for?
Does Kisuke know?
"ICHIGO!" Ichigo looked up as someone enetered the room.
"Orihime?"
"I just herd from Kisuke that you were awake!"
Ichigo didn't say anything, he just stared at the girl.
Unable to stop himself from thinking even after I nearly killed Rukia and Renji, she is still able to be in the same room as me.
"Ichigo? Are you ok?" She asked looking at him, concerned.
"It's nothing." Ichigo lied automaticaly.
Orihime didn't believe him for one second.
"Ok, Well if you need anything just ask-"
"Is Rukia awake?" He asked quitley.
Orihime looked down, Rukia. If I tell she's still out of it, he's just going to blame himself.
"Orihime?"
"No."
"Will you take me to her?"
"Sure...Ichigo."
Ichigo slowley got up, noticing the spot where Hinata had poisioned him was a pale purple and blue color.
Ichigo followed Orihime into the hall, and a few doors down.
"I'll wait here." She said casually.
Ichigo mereley nodded.
Rukia was lieing there covered in bandages.
She looked so peaceful, like she was simply asleep.
As Ichigo got closer he saw that the spot where her heart was, the bandages where red and bloody.
I did this. I did this to Rukia.
Ichigo thought while taking a seat next to her.
"I'm sorry Rukia." He whispered, taking her hand in his.
He sat there, peacefully, for what seemed like an eternity.
What he wouldn't give to sit that way an internity more.
But the universe had diffrent plans.
"Um...Ichigo? Kisuke would like a word with you." Orihime said hesitantley.
Ichigo imediatley let go of Rukia's hand.
He didn't say anything as he left the room.
Orihime followed behind him.
Ichigo found Kisuke in a small sitting room, sipping on, no doubt, tea.
"Ah, Ichigo! I was wondering where you ran off to!" He said, spotting Ichigo.
Ichigo took a seat across from Kisuke.
"What do ya want Kisuke?"
"Right down to business, eh? Very well than. I wanted to know who those people were before Rukia and Renji came."
"There names are Sakura and Hinata."
"Do you know what they wanted?" Urahara aske carefuly.
"Yeah. To poisione me." Ichigo said bluntley and bitterfuly.
"What do you mean?"
"That's what they came here for. They injected me some type of poision that stops all shinigami powers." He explained showing them the spot where Hinata scratched him.
"Hmm." Kisuke said examining the wound.
"What?"
"Well I was just wondering, why they'd want to release your inner hollow."
He said it so casually Ichigo was suprised he's said it at all.
"Wh-what do you mean? You think that's why they actually came?"
"Well why not? You're a legend Ichigo. Everybody knows about your power. As a shinigami and a hollow. Think about it, why else would they give you a poision that stops only shinigami powers. If they really wanted to hurt you, or any one of your friends for that matter, they'd try and come up with a poision for both your powers." Kisuke explained to the shocked teen.
Sometimes Ichigo, you can be such a moron.
"But who'd want to do that?"
"That's the mystery, isn't it dear boy?" Kisuke said from behind his fan
Somebody wanted Ichigo to loose control, who is it and why? Ichigo was going to find out.
So whatdya think? huh? HUH?
Seriously though, PLEASE drop me a comment!
It would make me eterniley happy! XD
