Misuitii Hi No De: All will be explained in due time, I promise you that. Maybe this chapter will clear some things up for you! And thanks for letting me know! XD

I am so glad that everyone liked the last chapter despite its obvious juvenility and horror. (thanks for pointing out, Miszxbrii! XD) Anywho , this chapter is going to be short, and it's really just a conversation between Ichigo and Shiro. So here's Chapter 6!

Chapter 6: Not part of your world…

Shiro's POV

When I got to his inner world, I was a little surprised. Despite the cloudy sky and a few cracked windows, it was relatively ok. So it is going to take more than that to knock him down…

"Hey, Shiro." I turned around to see him staring at one of the cracked windows, trailing his finger along the crack.

"Ichigo…are you…" he held up a hand and I stopped. I wasn't exactly sure how he was because I wasn't in here when…all that happened, so I have no idea exactly what kind of turmoil he's in. If there's one thing King is good at, it's hiding how he feels. He didn't look my way and went back to staring at the window.

"Do you ever get scared?" he asked me. I actually wanted to smack him.

"Of course I do. Especially when your inner world starts falling apart." I scoffed and folded my arms. Despite all the shit he just went through, I swear he was the same thick-headed King I loved too damn much. He chuckled lightly and stood up. He took me complete surprise when he wrapped one of his arms around my waist and tenderly kissed me on my neck. All of my sudden aggravation at his stupid question evaporated immediately.

"Sorry, stupid question…" he whispered and I just sighed.

"You do a lot of stupid things, Ichigo…" I turned around rapidly and kissed him full on the mouth. God, I loved him so much… "But I'll put up with it." I said as we parted. He huffed slightly and I smiled. I broke it a little too early for his liking, I guess.

"You tried stopping him…" He almost sounded stunned. To be honest, I was a little surprised by my actions too. I knew I couldn't be seen or felt by others except Ichigo.

"Well, someone had to try and save your sorry ass from Grimmjow." Oops, wrong thing to say. It instantly started to drizzle and I felt what he was trying to hide. He was scared of Grimmjow now. Not of the Espada himself, but of his unpredictability. The guy could do anything he wanted with Ichigo like this, and just that fact alone scared Ichigo, hell, scared me too. "Look, I didn't mean to say it like that…I-"

"You just…passed right through him…like you were a ghost." He actually seemed startled by that. I sighed and held him close to me.

"I am a part of you, Ichigo." I told him. "I can only be seen by you…heard by you, even felt by you…"

"But when you're in my world, I can't touch you." He looked up at me with sad brown eyes. "Why?"

"Because I am not part of your world Ichigo, I told you that." I released him and turned around, waving my hand around the entire place. Yeah, I looked stupid, but I was trying to point something out to the still slightly shaken teen here. "This is my world, Ichigo…and this is where I exist, wholly and truly." I turned and flashed him a smile I knew he wasn't going to resist well. "Your world, the real one, is a place I'm not supposed to be." I was surprised when he suddenly hugged me, burying his head in my chest.

Ichigo's POV

The look in his eyes when he said all that…it was sad, unbearably sad. I don't know if he noticed the way he sounded, but his voice had so much longing in it, that I couldn't bear it. I ran up and held him close, burying my head in his chest, washing myself in his scent. It's hard to describe it, and I don't feel like sharing, but it was a refreshing scent that made me feel…a little safer. "I wish you could be…" I told him, flat out and simple. I wanted him in my world, like I was in his. He gave me a small chuckle and his chest shook with it.

"Oh really? The last couple times I've seen you, you didn't even want me around." He said.

"That was before…" Before I fell in love with you…I just couldn't finish my sentence. He pushed me away and gazed at me with those beautiful golden eyes.

"I know, my King, I know…" He pulled me into another kiss and I felt a tingle go straight down to my toes. I tried pulling him into a deeper kiss, but he let me go again and I sighed. "No, you're exhausted." He told me. Right after he said that, I realized that he was right. Even more cliché, I started to fall over because I was so damned tired. He caught me in his gentle arms and lowered me, laying my head on his lap. I was more than content to just stay there…

"If…if Grimmjow does…you know, again…I want you to stay in here…" I told him quietly. He gave me a shocked look but I ignored it. "No complaints."

"B-but Ichigo-"

"What did I just say?" I looked up at him and he sighed. "I…when you're in here…I feel stronger sometimes…if that sounds odd in any way, slap me now…" I grumbled that last part and he smiled.

"That's because I exist within you, therefore, my presence here makes you stronger. I still am what I am, my Ichigo…" I squirmed a little bit at that part. I mean, try having a hollow call you 'his'; guarantee you it'll make you squirm somewhat! But I loved it too, and I couldn't help but smile. "If you insist, then I shall stay…" He leaned down and kissed my forehead gently. "Please, sleep Ichigo…" He didn't need to ask me twice. I fell asleep to him humming quietly and stroking my hair…

Shiro's POV

I have no idea what I did to deserve Ichigo, but whatever it was, I'm glad I did it…I'm glad he's here.I couldn't have asked for anyone better… not in his world or this one… But there was still something bothering me. Grimmjow couldn't see or hear me, yet he knew I was there. It made me wonder…what is it they really want with Ichigo? Or is it me they want? I couldn't tell, but I felt something churn in my stomach.

Things were only going to get worse…tonight was proof of that…

Chapter 6 end…

I know, it was really short, even for me! But I hope y'all enjoyed the fluffiness! Because I can promise you, it's only going to get worse from here on out… Please review, you all know it makes my day! XD Also, there will be no 1 sided UlquiIchi, sorry, but no. I have worse things that Ulquiorra gets to do...
