Quetzal - and with the recent revelations in the manga 'in the darkness' returns with more angst for all! (please excuse me while I go stick more pins in my kubo voodoo doll, he must suffer for his crimes)

Despondent
In the wake of ichigo getting his powers back 'zangetsu' contemplates the lie that is his existence, and the ending that he knows is coming.

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me, it could be for anything
I didn't ask for money or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you
One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you, one more day
One more day - Diamond Rio

Quiet. A contented silence permeated ichigo's soul. Zangetsu was not so contented however. More now then ever before, the pure trust ichigo had in him felt like a betrayal. For a few moments after the girl had revived ichigo's power he had almost been able to forget, forget that he wasn't, and never would be 'zangetsu'. This lie could not go on much longer.
Nearby the 'hollow' stood, watching him, his usual sneer absent from his face. If anything, a deep enough look in those sharp golden eyes would have revealed only pity. "Well old man? Ya finally going to tell him the truth?" the hollow asked, 'Zangetsu' closed his eyes, the other was entirely to perceptive sometimes, but he remained silent. There really wasn't anything to say.
The hollow sighed and shook his head. "You should tell him now, don't wait for him to find out himself, old man. You honestly think he won't forgive you?" 'Zangetsu' didn't even look at him, he wouldn't be forgive for what he had done. Not once Ichigo really thought about what he'd lost thanks to his deception. He would rather have what little time remained for him.
In the end he would be destroyed as the interloper he was, he would just be a black mark in Ichigo memories, everything he had ever been to the boy, just a web of lies. He was glad his back was to the hollow, the real Zangetsu unable to see the tears sliding down his face.

Quetzal - I just made myself cry... P-P there will be at least 3 more of these following the events of the manga probably more as we go. And I may start one from the real zangetsu's point of view as well. Theres some interesting ground to be covered there.
