Ichigo's world had never been perfect. There had always been something he wished would stop, that he wished would change, that he didn't want to happen. The time before his mother died didn't really count; he couldn't recall that time really anyway and he'd had Tasuki whipping him at every practice.
The last three months had been the worst with the absolute chaos that had been his life ever since that annoying bitch had first broke into his room, then tied him up and drew on his face. Normal life was a welcome relief.
So why couldn't he believe that?
All of his friends were here, were safe. They all came out okay. He never had time to be lonely, between his crazy ass family and Kon.
But still it seemed that chaos was the closest to paradise he'd ever been. Perhaps, if he told himself enough times, he'd begin to believe that one short was close enough to satisfy.
