Chapter 10: Trust is to Betrayal

There has got to be no way! Why is Byakuro standing in front of the store that I had great difficulty finding in this fucked up dimension, his face mysterious but definitely sinister and holding a mirror shard in his hand which bled lightly, red drops dropping on the dry ground?

Unless... NO! He couldn't have...

"Before you go and say it... I did break the portal. Now you can't go away anymore." he sneered while grinning, his pearl white but feral teeth showing and making me shiver that all my hair stood up.

"What the fuck..." I snarled, going backwards when he walked forward. There was nothing to pick up and point against him, but his other hand was holding a hammer which I bet he used to smash the mirror.

"You really think that I would let you go back there and not come back anymore?" he mocked. "You guys are just an illusion that the mirror gave. That's it." I persisted, stopping when my back softly collided on a stone wall.

He walked closer and closer, and my legs suddenly turned too stiff to let me run anywhere. He cornered me and dangerously leaned close to my face, his eyes mesmerizing but scary.

"Illusion or not, I'm standing in front of you." he laughed, and caressed my face. I flinched greatly and tried to slap his hand off me but his other hand grabbed both my arms and pinned them above my head.

His grip was strong and tight, that it was hard to get them off his hold. "I can touch you. So I'm real, but not existent in your world. That's what you're supposed to say." he taunted, his lips shutting me up before I could spit at him any spiteful word that was ringing in my head right now.

I had to get out of here, but the heat of the kiss seemed to be too familiar to me. It was as if he kissed me not once, but way more than twice.

That was to be expected, since he did do that... despicable thing... to me.

But I can't let this happen again. Whether I was aware or not I don't want him to touch me with those, hands of his.

I knew there was no more point in resisting since he already destroyed the mirror, but I won't let him dominate me.

His eyes were glaring, and it was commendable that though I plunged my tongue in him that heated look didn't go away and close. So when awake, he has more resistance than last? All the better.

I ripped his shirt off, which is technically mine, but he was wearing it anyway. And he didn't close his eyes, and would only do so if he would blink.

I felt his member turning hard and he groaned in disgust, mostly because he felt himself getting turned on but he just wouldn't let his mind give in to this. Just from getting a hard-on, I know that he wanted this as much as I do.

There wasn't anything that I had to worry about, for I don't think people would go here. They'd rather be in the messy but public areas.

His fingers trembled so I eased my grip and he slowly gave in through moaning in the kiss that I haven't broken since a few minutes ago. But when I saw his chest rising and falling out of the need for air I reluctantly pulled our lips apart and he glared at me with more hatred than before.

All the better. Before I could unbutton the pants and go further with what I always did with him these past few days, something made me stop.

You didn't break the Tcelfer, Byakuro Shirosaki.

The deep voice boomed in my head and it made my body halt for a moment. I turned left and right and saw no living soul there, and I tried to continue but the voice spoke up again.

You must not let him stay in the reverse forever. And you won't be able to keep him here no matter what you do. Because soon enough it will be time for him to return to his world.

A whoosh followed and the pain in my head from the voice was gone. Now, I guess I lost the want to fuck Ichigo so I didn't do anything indecent to him anymore but kept him pinned to the wall.

Taking this as a chance to give him no choice but to stick by me, I growled in his ear.

"If you try and run from me, everyone will see you as their prey and will do worse things to you than I do. So you have no choice but to stay with me or you'll be dead meat in a couple of minutes."

He hissed and spat, "Fuck off."

All of a sudden, his body started to fade and I reached out to see if it was an illusion but I couldn't feel him, like he was a ghost that phased through my hand. He vanished and he also seemed fazed by it but I couldn't see his face anymore.

Before rage would run in all my blood, the voice came back.

Now, thanks to your efforts, he would have to go back to this world at the exact time when the Tcelfer absorbed him and at the day when it happened. You created a distortion in the two worlds.

I snorted, and was relieved that he wasn't entirely gone. "Oh well, is there a way to keep him here permanently?"

You alternates are only a fragment of the soul which contains the opposite of who your counterpart is in their world. He's a human, while you're incomplete and merely able to move and talk like a human would. Unless you make him feel exactly like you, you won't be able to have him. The humans and their alternates must always feel the opposite for the other, but if they feel the same then they would become stuck for all eternity.

Glad enough, the voice merely warned me but is on no one's side. This would be fun. Quick and weird enough that it all happened in a minute, but I guess I would have to do something more evil.

Oh well, evil's in my personal resume.

= To be continued =

A/N: Don't get the wrong idea. Ichigo will be back in the reverse soon but I won't say anymore than that, and if you're going to ask me how and when... just wait and see. :D Thanks for reviewing and I really want to give you all a big, big hug.
