Song: Life After You
By: Chris Daughtry
Requested By: the eville pie
///
The rain was falling hard on the earthy way below him, his sandals, socks and clothes were already soaking wet, clinging to his running form creating a nasty sensation on his naked skin underneath. The white cloth wrapped over the sword on his back had become see-through, the silver blade glinting in the light from occasional lights in windows. His breath went labored, his body ached like he was about to break down but he didn't stop, not even when he tripped and fell into a puddle, soaking his already-wet robes even more.
He didn't care.
He just needed to get to her, make everything right again after he so stupidly made everything go wrong and downhill.
He just needed to reach her.
At all costs.
///
Ten miles from town
And I just broke down
Spitting out smoke on the side of the road
I'm out here alone
Just tryin' to get home
To tell you I was wrong but you already know
Believe me you won't stop for nothing
See you so I've started running
///
He had been so stupid. Ruining the one good thing in his life because he allowed someone to get to him, make him doubt.
And now he was about to lose the person he cared most for.
He wouldn't allow it.
"Stupid midget," he ground out between clenched teeth as he quickened his pace, forced his feet to shunpo even faster, strained his tired muscles to go on and on albeit them being about to rip apart.
He had to go faster.
Because if he lost her he'd cease to exist.
///
All that I'm after, is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you, (I think that...)
All that still matters, is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'cause I know there's no life after you
///
He knew it was all his fault, he wasn't denying that.
He just wished she'd fought a bit more.
Doesn't this mean anything to her at all??
Flashback
The words he was about to say burned in his throat, his eyes hurt but he willed all those feelings back into a faraway corner of his mind. She frowned at him. "What did you want to talk to me about, Ichigo?"
He took a deep breath, chanting in the back of his mind how that was the right thing to do, the best thing to do for both of them. It never occurred to him that his friend giving him this advice might want to do him damage.
How stupid he had been.
"I break up."
She blinked and panic crept into those deep amethyst orbs of hers he loved so much. "W-what?"
He didn't know how he managed to make his voice sound so cold and uncaring, and he wanted nothing more than to swallow each word he said to her. "I said I break up with you, it's over."
She took a step towards him. How he wished he could embrace her. "I... I don't understand." Hadn't he said he loved her only yesterday?
"Not my problem, just get lost." It felt like he was stabbing himself. He was losing her again and this time it was all his doing.
Flashback End
What the fuck have I done?
///
Last time we talked
The night that I walked
Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
I must have been high
I say you and I
Weren't meant to be and just wasting my time
Oh why did I ever doubt you
You know that I would die here without you
///
He could vaguely make the outline of the huge Kuchiki estate out in the dark, blurry night, only his memory and the Reiatsu that had itself burned into the deepest depths of his soul serving him as a guide in the monotone black and blue world around him.
The orange-haired Shinigami-daikô felt a flicker of hope rise in his numb, cold chest as her aura drew nearer, grew dominant and filled his senses. So strong he thought he could hear her breathing, smell her scent of roses and cherry blossoms, feel her skin brush against his when it was only her Reiatsu creating those sensations in his mind, easing his despair slightly, faintly.
He didn't care about anything besides her at that moment. For all he cared he could come down with the worst case of flu ever, he just wanted to be near her again, erase his faults from existence, press her against him and never let go again.
He wanted to feel that happiness again.

A lightning cracked up the sky, enlightening the dark night as well as his wet, tall figure standing in her room, right in front of the window he just climbed through. She was sitting on her futon, staring at him with white, open eyes filled with shock. "I-Ichigo, what-" But she never got to finish her sentence as he swept her in a bone-crushing hug and pressed his lips on hers like a starving man.
He had caged her between his body and the thin futon his wet clothes cold on her skin, his own burning every time he touched her, his lips needy and desperate as they pressed against her face, neck and collarbone, biting, nipping, licking every inch they could reach, his calloused hands roamed her body as if they were to map it, memorize it deep into his brain.
///
You and I, right or wrong
There's no word to run
After this time we spent alone, ('course I do believe that)
A Man would die to be so blind
Thinking 'bout the better times
Must 'a been outta my mind (so all that I can tell you)
///
"I'm... so sorry, Rukia." She bit back a moan as he bit down on her pulse, his hands coming up to her chest. Instinctively she buried her fingers in his orange tresses, dragging him nearer. "Why?" Her voice was little less than a breathy whisper but due to her mouth so close to his ear he understood her just fine. As if on cue he pressed his body closer to hers – as if possible – nipping on her ear. "I had thought it was better this way."
She felt warm liquid run down her neck as he cried into her, his voice shaky as he continued. "Someone... said the way we were our relationship wouldn't last... that in the long run distance would break us apart... I don't even know why I cared... I just panicked and thought it'd be prefer I end it now... and explain later." The way he emphasized 'later' she knew he meant 'when I hit the grave'.
"Stupid..."
"I know," he breathed before reclaiming her lips, shoving his tongue past her lips and down her throat. She moaned into him as her arms wrapped around his neck.
///
All that I'm after, is a life full of laughter
Without you God knows what I'd do
Yeah, all that I'm after, is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you, (I think that.)
All that still matters, is love ever after
After the life we've been through
Yeah, I know there's no life after you
///
Her lips went for his own neck making him moan as she opened his gi and threw it in some corner of her room roaming her hands over his bare skin. "Don't do shit like that ever again, you hear me?"
///
No, there's no life after you
No, there's no life after you
No, there's no life after you
No, there's no life after you
No, there's no life after you
No, there's no life after you
///
He grinned into her hair. "Promise."
///
No, there's no life after you, yeah
///
