A/N: Yeah... I had a bit of a hard time with this one, and the next one's gonna be no walk in the park eiher. x_x

Eh... enjoy... ^^;


Damn that Kurosaki…

He was a challenger in my kingdom. I was king.

Then he goes and kicks my damn ass! I dunno how the hell he was able to do it. All I know is that he had some sort of hollow mask and… it just… happened

I fought to win.

He fought to protect.

I don't really see the difference, nor do I care. Regardless of the reason, you're still just fighting.

Graah!

Stupid-ass shinigami! Had to go and make me look pathetic in front of that damn Quinto!

Well, more pathetic than I already looked…

I really don't want anyone's pity. That stupid Kurosaki just had to pity me, didn't he?

Why couldn't he just let me die in peace?!

I fought.

I lost.

Now, I have to deal with it.

Keh…

Easier said than done.
