Thomas looked at the window on his right side. It was another day, another sunshine waking up with him. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Shinigami still didn't find Ichigo. They didn't even have an idea where he could be. He was worried about him. Another deep breath and he opened them.

He was alone in this room, what surprised him was the fact that Shinigami let him live, even healed his wounds. Of course the room was sealed from the outside so he couldn't escape but he thought it would be worse.

Someone knocked on the door and walked through.

"Good morning." Unohana greeted him. "How are you feeling?"

"Did you find anything?" He asked. She didn't answer so he did first. "I'm alright."

"We've found something but I can't inform you right now." Thomas nodded. "Anything hurts?"

"Not anymore. Thanks." He looked at her. "Do you really want to help him?"

"You mean the boy?"

"Yes." She looked at him. But didn't answer at first.

"We'll discuss it when we get him. But right now, he's our top priority."

"That's good." He closed his eyes again. Soon she left the room so he could rest more.

Ichigo was breathing hard. It was getting harder and harder to breathe and every breath hurt.

"Still nothing?" Someone asked him, his mind stopped registing anything a while ago and his whole attention was on surviving.

His head hit the ground again. His ears were ringing and the blood was coming from his mouth and nose. His body tensed when another kick hit the back.

Ichigo felt like he was dying, like they were going to kill him but before they did, they wanted him to suffer. And he suffered greatly.

He was turned around and he looked at the blond haired man. Soon he was released and fell on the ground. His head lulled to the side and he closed his eyes. He hoped whoever was going to save him would hurry. Or he wouldn't make it.

"Here. Eat." Someone woke him up from his dreamland. Before he noticed who was it, that person was gone.

He looked at the trace with a food and a glass on water on it. He slowly reached for it but stopped in a half way. Ichigo wasn't sure if he should eat it. But he couldn't wait any longer, he had to eat.

His hand slowly grabbed the food he was given. It wasn't that bad but he missed his home-made food. He sighed, he wanted to go home. If he knew, if he only knew he had to leave, he would tell his parents how much he loved them. But he couldn't say it, it was too late for it.

The water felt wonderful to his sore mouth. He closed his eyes trying to remind himself why he was doing this. He was doing it for his father and he hoped his father survived.

He heard the voices outside. It didn't sound like it was the same guy that wanted 'information'. He huffed.

Ichigo slowly grabbed the cross. No way in hell he was going to give it without fighting. He quickly hid it again and closed his eyes. He had to wait.

"So you have him?" Yhwach asked while sitting on his throne in Silbern.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The king smirked. "He's in one of the camps in Japan, sir."

"Tell Haschwalth I won't wait anymore." When one of the messengers left, he got up.

Was this going to be so easy now, Kurosaki Isshin? You thought you can let him go and escape without me noticing? You've already forgotten, didn't you? I saw everything, every way you could choose and you still thought you can escape my Mightiness.

He smirked, his guard which he didn't really needed shivered. The King was Their Mightiness, Their Power and Soul. The guard looked down, couldn't make it anymore. Soon he passed out from the pressure.

"Your Majesty-."

"Shall we go?"

"W-Where?" They understood nothing, nothing at all. Their Majesty didn't look back, didn't have to. Who didn't follow him, die. It was as simple as that.

"Prepare the army." He ordered. No one asked questions, no why, no how, just bowed and they were all gone.

But he still stood in his throne room. He slowly made it to the small altar.

"Show me him, Masaki."

"No time to waste." Ichigo said to himself. He hold his whole life in this small object, he had to succeed. He took a small breath and thought about his mom. But not about Melanie. No, she was his mother but she wasn't his mom. He didn't remember her well but his heart did. And somehow thinking about her calmed down his heart more than anything in this world. He opened his eyes and smiled a little.

He turned his head to the source of the sound. Someone was shouting outside, it was his chance. He quickly fell on the ground and started coughing and acting like he couldn't breathe, soon someone came to him and when the guards saw him, one of them quickly ran to him and the other ran outside for help.

When Ichigo knew he was alone with this guy, he attacked. The guard didn't expect it and he was laying passed out on the ground. Ichigo didn't waste any more time he had left and grabbed the weapon the guard had with him.

It was a bow, it felt too light for his liking but he couldn't take any different weapon. He heard another screams, he shook his head. He didn't have time for that. Ichigo hid his hair with a hood.

He walked to the door slowly opening it. The enemies were too distracted by something, he started running the same way they were running but after a while when someone shouted to him to get help, he ran away. Ichigo didn't wait for the enemy to realize his mistake so he ran. But when he felt a strong pressure on his chest and heart and mind he stopped and looked back.

"Finally I'm able to see you in your true form.

My Son. Born In Darkness."
