Chapter Two: Mind Games

Can you hear me yet little one under my symbol? Are you still unable to hear my call that is softly echoing out word to you? How can you still be asleep even when your body has hit the stage of awaking? Do you wish to run from your destiny? You know full well you cannot run from destiny… we are all bound to this force this force that is now me. Must I force you awake by making you remember the worst day of your life? Must I stoop to such a level to make a dent in that shell you have put up around yourself? We live and breathe as one for you have been born as a being under my symbol the Forgotten. This dance happens again but I think I will add a second dance partner this time around… Altering the first course is always amusing but how will it do I wonder?

Dream now and remember events which have already passed my blessed one. Remember what one person may consider a gift can also be considered a curse by another. Nothing in this dance called life doesn't have a second side everything is a double edged sword…

….

"Where am I?" calls out a voice still thick with sleep. Rubbing his eyes Ichigo is greeted with nothing but pure black. The floor the sky the walls all the same color, nothing around is he floating? "Hello?" he calls out but nothing answer's him back not even an echo of his own voice almost as if the darkness has eaten it whole.

Ichigo rubs his neck confused by this room. He never dreams often and even this is way too strange to be a dream I mean nothing but him alone in absolute darkness that isn't typical even for him. Holding his hand up Ichigo can see each of the fingers clearly nothing missing or being blocked. Meaning he isn't in the dark or at least that is what Ichigo thinks.

"Can't you hear me?" A voice unlike anything Ichigo has ever heard before in his life calls out. Soothing and calm almost like a drug. Nothing setting off Ichigo's fight or flight response, is this voice calling out for him in the darkness?

"Who are you?" Ichigo calls out in a rather relaxed way. Awaiting a response to his question, rather odd though wouldn't he be able to see another in this darkness.

"You can't yet can you?" the same voice calls out this time sounding far more distant than before. Wait the voice is moving away I don't want to be alone in this place. "Perhaps memories are blocking us…" the voice speaks again though Ichigo can hardly hear it now.

"WAIT! Don't leave me all alone here!" Ichigo calls out panic now starting to settle into his brain. Alone in absolute darkness and no one is able to hear him. Nothing to pull him out of this abyss he has somehow managed to slip into. What did the voice mean by memories blocking them from communicating with one another? Slowly Ichigo closes in on his self, holding onto his body in a tight ball afraid of the darkness around him.

He starts rocking back and forth trying his best to block out that he is alone in the darkness that is all around him. After minutes turn to hours or at least that is what it feels like rocking alone in the darkness his forehead comes into contact with something solid and refusing to budge. Slowly Ichigo lifts his head off his knees a door sitting in front of him.

"Wha…?" Ichigo mummers out confused by the appearance of this door, no wall just a door that is almost a blood red color. Everything about the door giving Ichigo a bad feeling, but is that feeling worse than being completely alone in this abyss of darkness? No the abyss is worse that this doors vibe that much is for sure Ichigo starts to stand again in front of the blood red door. He places the whole of his palm upon the door still unsure if he should open the door or remain in this darkness. I don't wanna be alone anymore…

With all of his strength he can muster Ichigo pushes on the door. Hoping and praying that the door will not just fall over. The sound of creaking wood answers back for Ichigo's effort to open this door. Move please move…. Please open up. The creaking gets louder before the thing Ichigo has been hoping for happens. The door ever so slightly moves the door starting to open no doorknob to pull it closed again if it opens fully.

Pushing on the door harder the wooden seal gives way the door swinging fully open, meeting Ichigo is a swirling aura of orange and yellow. Backing away from the odd aura Ichigo now wants nothing to do with the door that was once shut, the bad feeling in full effect now making Ichigo's flight response over write his fight. I have to get away from this door… now! He turns to run only to be grabbed by a shadowy hand.

The hand more demon like than human mangled long claws and has a hold of both of Ichigo's legs, causing him to fall flush to the floor. There is no escape from the grip of this demon shadowy hand if it wanted it could break the bones and render Ichigo's legs useless, but for whatever reason it isn't harming him just holding onto Ichigo.

"LET GO!" Ichigo screams out into the abyss horror fills his voice and fear consuming his rational thought. Ichigo is trying to claw at the floor to find some kind of purchase to pull out of the grasp but finds none.

Cometh this darkest hour as darkness falls across the land…

Slowly the hand and arm start to drag Ichigo toward the doors opening. Causing Ichigo to dig his nails into the floor below trying anything to slow down or even stop himself from being pulled into the door. Anything to save him from being killed he doesn't want to die!

The midnight hour is close at hand as mortals be here…

"Let me go! Someone help me!" Ichigo screams out again the elbow of the hand is starting to disappear back into this door.

Thee darkness is not which you should fear even as creatures crawl in search of blood… To terrorize your whole neighborhood…

This can't be real it can't be happening… not like this! Using all his strength to do anything to stop or slow the hand which is drawing him closer to the opened door. Now the lower arm is half way back inside this door.

Yet still you stand with frozen feet… as the true monster stalks you at every beat…

Now just the wrist and hand left…

You try to run….

Knuckles up left…

You try to scream…

Upper half of Ichigo's chest left…

But no more sun…. you'll ever see… as the white one of flames burns all to a crisp.

"NOOOOooooo…" is all that is left before the door slams shut with Ichigo now pulled into the vortex of orange and yellow. Seeming to know it has the boy with in a dark demonic laugh sounds a watery echo hinted to it the only sound left in the Abyss…

…..

The next time Ichigo wakes up he is in his room… but it isn't his room at the same time. This room is decorated like back when he was sixteen. A ratty old stuffed lion on a rather cheap work desk but built well enough to endure for many years since he was six years old. Posters of bands and of shows that he likes located on the wall three posters max nothing too crazy.

Getting up slowly even the bedding isn't what he is used to now it's cheaper and this one is cotton instead of the silk bedding he is used to now. His bed small only suited for a single person to sleep in and the room also smaller than he is used to. The window right next to his bed looking out its night the moon is a yellow-gold, harvest moon? Just what is going on here?

Swinging his feet over his bed he gets up, also noticing that he has no dog beds in his room and no dogs to be found his door shut. Was everything before just one crazy dream? Ichigo thinks to his self before the sound of yelling from down stairs obtains his attention. Tilting his head he walks over to his door before opening it, narrow hallway greeting him with nearly no decorations or tables. Wait this is Ichigo's old home this is over seven years ago!

How can this be!? Ichigo questions before walking out into the hallway dark due to the lights being turned off. Slowly he rounds the hall to the staircase leading to the down stairs the voices once muted by the distance now much louder but still not close enough to understand what words are passing just yet. Whatever is going on his father and mother a very pissed, the third voice is cold though chillingly cold.

Maybe if I go to the base floor I will be able to hear them… Ichigo then carefully makes his way down each step without causing the wood to creak. Halfway down the voices become clearer and now he can hear two new voice's belonging to both his younger sisters, what on Earth are they doing up so late?

"Ichi-nee is not going with you!" both of his sisters shout together beyond the word pissed off. Something is going on and it is about him.

"He will and you've no say in the matter…. You humans are quite annoying ain't you…" The voice says in the same cold and indifferent way. Something about the guy doesn't sit well with Ichigo. Like he already knows something bad will happen if this guy manages to get him away from his family. Though he is not sure where this feeling is coming from just yet.

"Bullshit! My son is staying here now get out of my house before I call the police on you!" Ichigo's father bellows out he has never once known his father to lose his temper like this. Nor has his father ever cussed at least in front of his kids but right now whoever this stranger is he could care less what his kids hear. Nothing like his father who usually thinks before he speaks being a doctor he learned that quite well.

"You sir, have over stayed your welcome, I suggest you do as my husband demands…" This time the voice belongs to Ichigo's mom. Though her tone is just as chilling as the man's something he has never thought his mom was able to do. Warm hearted and kind as well as down to Earth but this tone is one that would match a killer.

Instead of listening for a moment longer Ichigo goes into the living/family room section of the house. "Mom, Dad what's going on?" My how different his voice was seven years ago, I was one of those late bloomers so to speak. I didn't really have a voice change or grow into a man till a few years later, I got picked on for my hair color no one seemed to notice that I wasn't as mature as other boys just yet. I wonder what my family would think of me if they had lived to see me when I hit that awkward stage of development, I grew stronger and more built not creepy buff like those body builders that's gross! No I have a six pack and follow that build all the way through my body. My voice also got slightly deeper to the point of being a singer but that's not what I wanted to do in my life to much drama.

"Ichigo did we wake you?" My mom walks over to me hugging me close to her, "Dear I know you wanna know what's going on but I think it is best if you go wait in your room till this man leaves." Her voice leaving no room for arguing I hum in understanding getting ready to leave before.

"Where do you think you are going?" I can't help but be frozen in place by that tone something is off about it I don't like it. I stare at the stranger who is now standing and looking right at me. The man has very cold brown eyes and a hair color of brown-oak. He wears strange looking cloths that are mostly white with some silver and blue engraved into it. I don't like this man at all he also doesn't look to be native to Japan either maybe more towards France or England. His skin pale-peach a very light tanned skin color meaning he doesn't go out much.

I only look at the man blankly not understanding what I've done wrong. I don't even know this man why is this man so hell bent on me? My family isn't going to let me go anywhere with this man doesn't he get that much from what was said in the conversation I've missed most of. A cruel smile slides up his pale pink lips giving my body an even worse feeling that something really bad is about to happen.

"I told you to get out!" My father states this time manners be damned. He had stomped his foot on the ground after getting up. His body is ridged as hell he is holding back from beating this man up, the one who wants me but why?

"Hades does not need to listen to you human, If you wish to live I suggest you hand the boy over to me now." His tone the same as before an evil shine in his eyes. Who the hell would name their kid after a Greek god anyways and the one who rules the Underworld at that? I back away more for this man I wouldn't be going with him even if he had found me first. I watch the smile slip into a frown as he sees that I will not come with him willingly. "Very well then… Doom hound it be time to play, enjoy this easy meal." Hades says in an annoyed huff snapping his middle and thumb together.

A summon rune of black writes itself into the floor at blinding speed. This one has many odd looking symbols and such and unlike most of this stuff Ichigo has seen in text books for history and such it is diamond. Turning from pitch black to an Electric blue hissing as if the rune is molten hot steal being dipped into water to temper the steel being crafted, creepy whispers of many voices come from the rune as well. Something bad was about to happen something very bad that would forever change Ichigo's life.

Seeming to melt out of the ground below a large paw like foot with large reptile claws goes straight up in the rune before slamming onto the floor just outside of the diamond. A second paw joining in much the same manner as the first but on the opposite side, both paws and arms rocking back and forth pulling up a massive back of the beast in the rune, with a ridge of hair running the back of this beast, the skin ugly and naked looking much like it was covered in third degree burns the wriggling of both front paws helping more and more of the upper back of the beast come loose from the floor beneath it.

All of Ichigo's family backing away from the beast coming up through the floor, not one sure what is going on or just what the man named Hades truly is but one thing is for sure he is not human he hasn't budged and is starting at Ichigo pleased with the reaction of the humans to this beast rising up. Long ears now seen from the beast a few more tugs and the upper half of the Doom hound is freed from its binding, large yellow teeth pure black eyes gazing at the family in front of it before growling, the growl distorted and overlaid by a hiss sound that belongs to a serpent. Digging large claws into the wooden floor it starts to pull its lower body out of the rune. Snapping its teeth at the humans in front of it ready for a taste of a long awaited meal, starving and ravenous food put teasingly in front of it, if only it could remove itself from the damned binding faster that it is.

"Ichigo run you need to get out of here now!" He hears his mother shout and she pushes him as both his little sisters are pulling on his arms to make him move back to the kitchen and out the back door exit. To shocked to say anything he is slowly drug away by his sisters both determined to get their older brother by one year away. Numbly he is running with both his sisters knowing deep in his gut that this is where he is going to lose all of his family. Something deep down saying that whatever that monster is it will kill everyone who was in that room when it started rising up.

"Are they gone Masaki?" The man known as Ichigo's father asks. Knowing full well he is only going to be able to buy his daughters some time to get Ichigo to the safe zone that no Underworld being may step upon. Sad truth is no one will ever know what happens to him or his wife but perhaps just perhaps his actual children will be spared from this fate.

"Yes Isshin they are heading to hollowed grounds as we speak." Masaki speaks watching as the dog snaps its teeth more and more at them. The beast nearly freed from the rune only the rest of the rear legs left the tail free and whipping around. Knowing full well the fate they were told if they chose to take in the child given to them by a masked being. They never saw the man again the mask looking more like a hollowed out skeleton skull eyes a glowing green color.

"Here it comes!" Isshin says as the monster called the Doom hound breaks loose of the rune at long last free the beast is free to feed and feed well it shall. Charging at full speed at the woman jumping to chomp into her head or at least that was what it was going to try to do. While in mid jump Isshin had grabbed the table and swung it around knocking the hound into the building wall, the building wall unable to support the massing weight and force crashing into it crumbles the beast going right through. "Like either of us are going to make it that easy for you to kill us you fucking monster." Isshin laughs out.

The beast growling before slamming back through the wall not pleased with the human man. When it tries to attack the man it is again hit but by something sharp and made of blessed white silver. The hound yelping at the pain as the weapon, a sword of some sort leaves a large cut running the length of the beast's body, knowing full well that Hades is tailing the three leaving it up to the hound to remove these two from the picture.

These humans unlike most others move together as one and do not fear it, so that means they have gone through something close enough to this before. Killing them is going to take time one thing this beast has is all the time in the world tire them out and it is free to feed upon the two. It should be able to out endure two humans anyways they are only mortal and have only so much steam to them. Or if it can get in a hit that ends up being fatal it will end faster.

Whipping its tail much like an agitated cat the dog settles on waiting out the two. Strike by strike each attack carefully planned out by the hound though the fight lasts much longer than even the Doom hound was expecting it too. The two humans earning the hounds respect and instead of making their deaths last it would kill them in a single attack, sure he is a creature of Tartarus but he respects those who know how to fight and as well as these two do. Both Isshin and Masaki breathing heavy and about to collapse unable to hold a weapon any longer they both slide down to the floor back to back. The have bought their kids both related by blood and by bond over three hours without the hound trailing them it is bad enough the man named Hades is after them if the Doom hound had joined they would not of stood a chance.

"Most impressive humans… I've not found any who have made me work so hard for my meal in a very long time." The hound speaks his demonic voice holding praise for both humans. Instead of just slaying the duo on the spot the beast lays down showing respect for them. Cocking its head to the left watching as both humans keep an eye for any attack, "Worry not humans I'll not cheap shot ya, not after you have both earned my respect. I am going to kill you that much is for sure though." The Hound states its tail in plain sight for both humans relaxed the beast is though the humans refuse to drop their guard.

"Why do you continue to toy with us?" Isshin asks still breathing heavy from his fight. Masaki humming out in agreement with her husband surely no beast from the Underworld would do such a thing before killing its prey items.

"You didn't run… you stood and fought and quite well. We beings of Tartarus hold great respect for people like you… I'll give you both a quick death together, you don't deserve to suffer for your combat skills." The hound speaks again still calm about everything. "You have earned the right for a Death wish… name it and it will be done before I take both of your lives."

"Then don't go after our kids all three of them…" Both humans say at once looking at the hound together.

The hound now standing up before bowing before the humans, "It shall be done I'll stay here and enjoy my meal rest easy humans…" those words pass the tail piercing through both chests of the humans they die together quick and painless. The hound then once sure both are souls are gone goes about to eating its meal holding its word to not go after the kids of some of the finest warriors it has fought since the dark ages of the human past. The same however cannot be said for Hades not far behind the children.

"I grow weary of your games children!" The man shouts out its bad enough his hound has yet to join him still lost in battle. They are getting far too close to the holy grounds that Hades cannot set foot upon. If the boy makes it onto those grounds he will not be able to get him this time around and will either have to send his monsters to fetch him or wait eight years before he can get the boy. Something about the boy is different a soul unlike any he has seen before and he wants it for his self. The boy's soul is calling out to others of his kind and even his brother and those other gods above in Mount. Olympus, like hell he will let those assholes get their hands on the boy first.

"We are close to safety!" One of the sisters shouts just a few blocks away from the holy grounds. If only they could run faster or if only it was closer each of them are so tired and yet even with their legs burning and lungs burning they know they can't rest. So close yet so far away from their goal.

"There you are." The man calls out now he is gaining on them. His expression is displeased with having to chase the three of them for just over three hours. Using some unseen force he gains hold of Karin.

"Don't you dare stop you two keep going!" She yells struggling with the unseen force. Before being ripped apart by the same force blood splattering all over the place and her inner organs spilling upon the street below, watching his sister die as Yuzu keeps a tight grip on his wrist making Ichigo have to keep running her eyes hard knowing that even at the cost of her own life Ichigo must make it to the hollowed grounds. Her sister did not die in vain they are only inches away from those grounds.

The man firing something at them which takes the ground out below the both of them, this causing both to fall to the floor. "Ah-ah you are not going to set foot upon those grounds." The man says as he stands at the edge of the hole he had made just behind Yuzu and Ichigo.

"You are wrong asshole!" Yuzu shouts as she with inhuman strength grabs Ichigo and throws him onto the hollowed grounds saving her brother from the man. The expression on the Hades' face is darker than any Ichigo has seen before in his life. Suddenly gone then reappearing in front of Yuzu he drives his hand through her chest, though the expression on her face is not what is to be expected it's a smile as she looks back at her brother. "It's alright brother… you will be safe." The man drops the body of Yuzu getting closer to hollowed grounds knowing he may be able to get the boy out before the grounds do too much damage to him. Before the man has a chance to place his foot down a darker growl sounds from the shadows causing Hades to freeze in place.

"Go ahead set foot upon our grounds and find out just what shall happen to you… I assure you we don't need you to rule hell for a while replacing you will be a simple task…" The voice comes from the shadows but something Ichigo cannot understand they are not words from these parts. Hades spits to the side before going back to the depths of the Underworld knowing he has missed his chance. Seeing Yuzu dead now Ichigo can't help but scream out into the darkness of the sky… pain unlike anything he has ever felt before his whole family gone in one night from a single man… The Harvest moon turning a blue color though going unnoticed by the boy…

….

"Wake up Ichigo!" Keaghen calls out holding Ichigo down to prevent Ichigo from being able to harm either of them.

"Huh? Ke… Keaghen?" Ichigo chokes out noticing his voice is very raw and dry. A dream it was all a dream of Ichigo's past it is entirely his fault his family died that night seven years ago. If he wasn't born they would all still be alive and living out their lives as they should be now, it's all his fault guilt overcoming everything else. Till he hears the whining of his dogs both whimpering and worried about their master.

"About time ya woke up…" Keaghen sighs out releasing Ichigo and sitting on his bed watching as Ichigo sits up. Looking at Keaghen with confused eyes not understanding what has happened or for that matter why a shirtless Keaghen was doing in Ichigo's room. "You've been screaming bloody murder for past ten minutes your dogs were going nuts trying to wake you up when I walked in. Guess you were having a nightmare…" Keaghen sighs out holding a cold glass of water up for Ichigo.

"Thanks…" Ichigo says before taking the glass and taking a good long drink of the cold liquid. The dry scratchy feeling soothed away and no longer bothering him once he downed three-quarters of the glass. Before pulling the glass away from his lips again and handing it back to Keaghen. Both dogs on his bed with ears down showing that they are worried for their master, Ichigo pets both dogs for a good while showing them he's okay and it was just a dream though Keaghen has yet to leave. Now that he thinks about it this is the first time he has seen the full body of this pale man and damn him for being built so well on top of being so damned tall.

"Ya know keep staring at me like that and I may get the wrong impression." Keaghen chuckles out. This causing blush to creep across Ichigo's face, had he really been staring that long at this man like that, damn it that dream really threw him for a loop, "So ya going to be alright for the night if I go back to the guestroom?"

"Yeah… thanks again." Ichigo sighs out rubbing his face with his hand. Feeling the bed go back to normal he watches as Keaghen heads out of the room after nodding. Damn Keaghen for being so well built and what a body… he looks even better than I do fucker has an eight pack…

I want him. Wait what? Why the hell did I just think that? Ichigo had completely frozen after that thought had passed his mind causing him to become confused.

"Perhaps get to know him? Then he might let you 'have him'." A voice whispers making Ichigo whip his head around. And now you are hearing things Ichigo… okay time to go back to sleep no dreams this time please…

Slowly a sweet smell wafted up making Ichigo open his eyes. The smell is Cinnamon and bacon making Ichigo get up out of bed. It has been ages since he had smelt cinnamon like this making his way down stairs he is greeted by Keaghen wearing one of his plain white aprons cooking French toast in one skillet and bacon on the grill top for a stove. The man has been cooking for a long time you can see it in the way he handles himself in the kitchen, a calm air about him. Again the thought of Ichigo wanting this man goes through his head making Ichigo shake his head trying to rid himself of such thoughts.

"Ah good morning sleepy head I was just about to call for ya." Keaghen smiles over his shoulder to Ichigo causing Ichigo to feel that pull stronger this time around. Something has to be wrong with him or maybe it's just pent up tension from always being alone, Ichigo has never dated because he just hadn't been interested in anyone male or female. That is before this man showed up. Now his mind has made a point to tell him it wants this man who isn't even native to these parts and he hasn't a clue which way the man swings let alone which way he himself swings.

"Morning." Ichigo says trying to ignore his body and his mind at the same time. He takes his seat at the counter top which doubles as a table. "So you save me, then put up with my night terror and chose to make breakfast?" Ichigo asks clearly this man doesn't seem to get that it is Ichigo who should be cooking for dealing with him.

"Well ya were sound asleep so I figured what the hell." Keaghen chuckles out flipping the French toast with a flick of the pan while pulling the now crisped bacon off the grill. Turning the back burners off to allow the grill to cool down to be washed at a later time, he places the bacon down on a plate before grabbing two plates and putting four pieces each on a plate. After putting the plates at the counter table he walks to the fridge to pull out butter and some other things for the French toast as well as for drinks.

The two ate in silence Ichigo noting the fact that Keaghen had chosen to drink milk of all things. A pale man drinking milk was he the only one who found that funny? Ichigo had picked orange juice liking the taste of the citrus fruit since he was a little kid. French toast is something easy to make but this guy knows how to cook because it has a soft citrus tang to it not from the orange juice it is a tad bit more sour like lemon.

After finishing the French toast Ichigo noticed something. Something he should of when he first got downstairs greeted by the sight of Keaghen cooking. His injuries were gone, now way in hell those deep wounds can heal overnight like that! Why didn't he notice that sooner?

"Keaghen…" Ichigo says slowly.

"Hmm what is it?" Keaghen asks back looking over at Ichigo from the sink washing his dishes and putting them into the dishwasher. Manners long practiced and a hard habit to kick even though it has been a very long time since he has been a guest in any household.

"Where the hell are your injuries? That kind of stuff doesn't heal overnight!" Ichigo growls out now completely confused by the man in front of him. No human can heal that fast, no way no how.

"What are you talking about? I wasn't injured last night you offered me a place to stay after I took out some thugs, remember?" Keaghen speaks calm and clear his golden eyes locking with Ichigo's warm chocolate brown eyes. For some reason with their eyes locked like this Ichigo wants to believe what Keaghen says is true but something deep within is yelling lair and won't stop. For some reason Ichigo's mind is hazy and he is becoming dizzy.

"No… you were fighting some…. some…. some kind of deformed dog." Ichigo states shaking his head trying to rid himself of this fog trying to cloud his mind. "You had bite wounds and a large gash." Ichigo continues this time brining his hand to his forehead and rubbing his temples. I know what I saw last night my dogs attacked it and he ran a sword through the damn thing, it turned to ash and was blown away by the wind.

"It appears ya are strong willed…." Keaghen speaks. Ichigo lifts his head to meet with the pale man who somehow ended up only a few inches from his face. Ichigo couldn't help the squeak that left him as he jumped back. No one has ever been able to scare Ichigo like that before even though he knows they are close but how'd he get so close without him noticing?

"What is that suppose to mean?" Ichigo asks now watching the larger man carefully. Something strange filling the air what though Ichigo cannot name. Backing away till flush on the wall behind him next to the living room, a large window looking out into Ichigo's yard a large Oak blocking most of the view, the Oak tree imported to give the home a much more exotic look.

A true black crow seated upon the branch overhanging by the window. Large phantom green eyes seem to be watching Ichigo carefully. The crow's head jerking a bit and moving in practiced fashion as though on an old movie reel projector with the strange lag effect. Something is not right about that crow at all that much is for certain.

A pale hand grabs hold of Ichigo's chin making him turn his attention back onto the man. "No one has ever been able to resist my 'Persuasion' in these times." Keaghen mummers keeping their eyes locked on each other. "Though I have only used the vocal and eye contact version I wonder if you would be able to resist my physical version…" Ichigo then notices just how close his face is to Keaghen millimeters away, is this man going to kiss Ichigo? Keaghen getting closer still… Ichigo's heart now beating so fast as if trying to escape his ribcage, so close so very close and Ichigo doesn't seem to want to fight it. Just as their lips are about to touch… the large screen TV turns on out of the blue….

~Author Notes~
