Wasting Time
Character: Hichigo (Hollow Ichigo)
You found me here, waiting for your chance
You would reach inside and take all of me
You watch your lies smother me again
But now you can't!
Did Ichigo actually think that by not going Bankai then he would be able to keep his dark half suppressed? What a stupid thing to believe. The Hollow wanted to throw his head back and laugh at the sheer idiocy of his King. If he thought that he could suppress his darker half by mere willpower than Ichigo was mistaken. Oh so very mistaken.
It gave him great joy, this constant struggle for dominance. He thought it was fun. He enjoyed seeing Ichigo grow weaker and weaker by the day. And when Ichigo was weak, the Hollow was strong. He liked being strong, the Hollow. In fact he relished in it.
Don't even try your wasting time
Jump back I'll beat you down and turn around
I'm fighting my way through you
Push you away, I'll never break
Come back ill beat you down
It's over now
I'm turning my back on you
"Poor, poor Ichigo," he thought as a maniacal grin stretched across his face.
"Go away," Ichigo said aloud, holding his head in his hands. "Go away."
"Go away?" the Hollow laughed, this time aloud.
Ichigo's eyes snapped, "You…"
The grin on the Hollow's face stretched even more," You see King, I have no intention of going
away. I'm going to swallow you up. I'm going to devour you until there's nothing left."
He could see Ichigo visibly gulp, panic stricken. A laugh rang throughout the Inner World.
"Just you wait, Ichigo. Soon I'll be in control, and there's nothing you can do to stop me."
I turn around, there you are
A blink and a flash back to you again
You push me down tried to steal it all
This time I pushing back!
"So you think those Vizards can help you, huh King?" The Hollow thought with amusement as the Vizards carried an unconscious Ichigo down to their training basement. "You're a fool, King. They can't help you. Did you not see how I nearly destroyed that annoying bitch? I would have succeeded to if the others hadn't got in my way. Still, what are you going to do when it's just the two of us fighting for the crown? Nothing. You'll do nothing. Because you won't be able to… because you can't."
Don't even try your wasting time
Jump back I'll beat you down, turn around
I'm fighting my way through you
Push you away, I'll never break
Come back I'll beat you down
It's over now
I'm turning my back on you
"Ichigo, think you can tell me what the different between a King and his Horse is?"
At the dumbfound look on Ichigo's face the Hollow wanted roll his eyes and punch, but he kept his cool. He might be a hollow, but he was level headed.
"And don't even think about saying some kid's riddle answer 'because one has two legs and the other four' or some shit like that.
"It's about the form, the ability and then the power! Almost like the two could have been the same existence at one point. But then, the one that fights to rise to the top becomes King. Whichever one is left over is to become the Horse, lending its power to the former.
"Now I ask you…what is the difference between the two?"
Again silence. It truly did amaze the Hollow at how brainless Ichigo could be, but he still continued.
"There's only one answer…
"Instinct! A vital tool for someone who has equal power but wishes to seek out more. A vital tool for one who wishes to become King.
"With this, the user will naturally be drawn to battles, be drawn to more power, and use such to mercilessly obliterate his enemies beyond any hope of recognition!
"Mangling them…slicing them to pieces. All of this brought on by an absolute raw hunger for battle.
"Our skin is peeled off, our meat scooped out, bones crushed, nerves nullified. Every part of us chiseled down to the very core. All in order to further sharpen our killing instinct!
Ichigo still continued to look dumbfounded. What was with him was his brain broken? Did the hollow hit him that hard?
"Something you have no knowledge of. Your instinct is too obvious, too normal. You only fight with reason and you always need a reason to cut down your opponents. Just who the hell did you think of attacking when your sword was vaporized?"
With his speech coming to a close, the Hollow thought it best to finally wipe the dumbfounded look off Ichigo's face.
"You see, this is why you'll forever be weaker than me, Ichigo!"
Go ahead and try to stop me
Go ahead and try to stop me
Go ahead and try to stop me
Go ahead and try!
He watched with fascination as the sword sailed through the air before piercing Ichigo in the abdomen. His face lit up with glee. Oh how he wanted to mock him.
"You must excuse me, Ichigo. You know, I really have no idea where that Zangetsu guy is, but there is no way I'll let a King weaker than me hop on my back and ride me around like a little bitch! I won't tolerate that kind of coexistence!
"You are weaker than me, so I'm going to destroy you."
Don't even try, you're wasting time
Jump back I'll beat you down and turn around
I'm fighting my way through you!
Push you away, I'll never break
Come back I'll beat you down
It's over now
I'm turning my back on you!
"And then I'll be the one and only King…"
Author's Note:
I just love Hollow Ichigo. He is by far the best character in the manga and the anime.
I want him to come back!
And speaking of the manga the last part of the story with the "King and his Horse speech" are direct quotes from the manga. Unoriginal, I know, but I thought it fit nicely.
On another note I highly recommend listing to the song "Wasting Time" by RED. It fits him to a T.
Reviews are always appreciated!
Take Care and God Bless,
