Kish punched the wall next to him.

"It's All your fault. ITS ALL YOUR DAMNED FAULT!" Kish yelled into the darkness.

"You caused them pain Ichigo. You are the cause of their death. Not me. It's You!" Kish rambled to himself crazily.

"You made me do this Ichigo… You made me like this.. So you Have to pay! Don't blame me Ichigo. Don't blame me for loving you so much!" Kish whispered, his words dissolving in the wind..

Chapter 3- Illusion

Ichigo woke up with a startle in the middle of the night. The wind howled outside her window, and the glass rattled violently. Her heart beat was pulsing so loudly that she thought it would explode.

Ichigo shivered in the cold. She thought she heard a wail outside in the darkness of the night. It seem to be out to get her, haunting her, slowly torturing her.

Her lips quivered as her eyes became moist. She breathed in deeply. Ichigo stared up at the ceiling, battling the flow of tears. She can't let this kill her. She needs to stay strong. She needs to be there for the world, and not selfishly indulging in the world of pain and emptiness.

She threw down the covers of her bed and searched for her slippers in the dark. She threw on some warm clothes and left her room, and out the front door of her house. The night is cold, the air around her, attacking Ichigo as she walked down the path. She doesn't know why she's out, or what shes doing here. All she know is that she needs to be out, need to escape from that cage. Perhaps the cage is inside her heart, perhaps she still hasn't really let herself escape from all the guilt, but she's trying… trying to forget, trying to just let go.

……………………….

Kish was deliriously happy today. He felt free, free of the guilt that nagged him for the past 2 days. He has finally convinced himself that what he did was not wrong, and Ichigo would soon understand.

The air around him shimmered as Kish teleported back to what was café mew mew. In his hands, he held a white rose. White… the colour of simplicity, purity, innocence and freedom. The colour of snow…, the colour of a forever lasting life…

He gently threw the rose down on the ground before him. It landed smoothly on a large boulder. Kish smiled to himself and gave the place a goodbye kiss.

"Goodbye my friends…. Rest…in peace…" he grinned to himself as he teleported out.

………..

Ichigo found herself on a large park bench, with the birds peeping down at her. She sat up, and rubbed her eyes.

"hmmm….must of fallen asleep" she sighed as she attempted to got up. She felt better after a walk during the night. She felt as if something left her heart. Nothing big…but a small part of that load of guilt. She smiled to herself.

Thankyou Rettasu….i'll… be strong…..
