Chapter 8: Rain And Memories

Kanda's POV

'where is the Beansprout?' Kanda thought angrily slashing at the Tease. Then he saw a flame go up around burning the Tease. "I don't need your help, Rabbit." I snapped at the crazy rabbit that was Lavi.

"But Yu you can't be mad at the fact that I got rid of the annoying pests for you." Lavi said grinning.

"Che..whatever...AND DON'T CALL ME YU!" Kanda screamed. Lavi was about to say something else when Tyki interrupted him.

"You know you should really pay attention to your enemy than fighting your own allies." I turned around and stopped Tyki's arm from hitting me.

"Tch." I pushed Tyki back and positioned Mugen to my right and yelled "Second Illusion: Double Illusion Blades!" A blue light came from Mugen and went across my back to my left hand making a second Mugen. I jumped and slashed at Tyki with my two swords he kept dodging then Tyki got in a attack adding to my serious injures. I filched at the pain in my right shoulder Tyki kicked me into a nearby building.

"Yu!" Lavi yelled at me. I tried to get back up but I couldn't I knew that my wounds would heal because of me being a second exorcist but I also know that they won't heal as quickly as any another time. Because I was still recovering from the battle with Alma even if it was 6 months ago. 'Alma I'm sorry but I can't die yet I'll live for you, Alma and for our promise.' I got up despite the wounds.

"I'm not gonna die yet." I said coming back to join the fight with Lavi.

"You exorcists don't give up even if your almost dead." Tyki said with a crazed grin. "That's good."

Ichigo's POV (In Road's dream world.)

"W-Why am I here?" Ichigo said looking scared and frighten he wanted to run away but then he remember that this is the enemy's doing and he has to fight his Hollow. He reached to his back to find Zangetsu wasn't there.

"Relax King I'm not here to fight you." I doubted that every time I ended up in my mind it always ended up with me fighting my Hollow.

"Then tell me why are we here?"

"Ichigo don't you remember this were you KILLED your mother."

"I know! But why did she send me here?"

"Didn't you hear? King this is the mind breaking game. She promised me that I could take you over by breaking your mind." Shiro laughed crazily. "I'm gonna love seeing the fears in your precious family and friends when I tear them to pieces."Ichigo clenched his fists.

"I'm never let you take over." Shiro laughed again.

"Fine but this time instead of beating me with your sword it's gonna be your mind." Suddenly right before my eyes I watched as the young me was walking with mom. The young Ichigo suddenly started running toward the girl trying to save her. I was screaming at him to stop that it was all a trap. "They can't hear you, King. These are just memories of the past." I watched as the gruesome scene kept replaying over and over again. I was on my hands and knees screaming for it to stop. I tried not looking at it but I could still hear it and when I closed my eyes I could still see it. "You kill her King you were the one who went after that girl. Trying to save her but instead of saving someone you killed someone."

"No..No.."

"Yes! You did kill her! You lead her into a trap king."

"I...I know that I've been living with that my entire life. And Mom has been dead for a long time. So this doesn't bother me." Ichigo said standing up with confidence in his eyes now.

"So you have that much strength left. I'm suspired since I know your mom's death is a touchy subject. But...what about your friends."

"Wh-" when Ichigo opened his eyes he looked down and saw the corpses of his friends all...dead and at the hands of Azien. I knew that this was just an vision that Road was showing me but I couldn't help it Mom's death over and over again and then my family and friends are dead at the hands of my enemy. I fainted from the shock of it all letting my Hollow become the king.


A/N: I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. It was pretty hard trying to write Kanda's POV and writing the part about breaking Ichigo's mind. I've noticed that when I write stuff it's a lot slower than when reading it. About the Alma part I'm not going to say that Kanda knows about Alma being his long lost love ( Which still kinda creeps me out. How can a girl suddenly turn into a boy and love kanda still and want to kill him and also be friends with him?) I mean I know Kanda's first kiss was that creepy old guy that gave him Mugen but I didn't know Kanda was bi. (no I'm only joking.) Anyway thanks to everyone who favorited or story alerted this story. Next Chapter: Ichigo's Resolve. R&R.
