Okay, I am very sorry for not updating in MONTHS! So I apologize... But hey, I have now updated :D I was inspired throug hearing Hero by Skillet, and no, this isn't a very fluffy drabble but I do still hope you like it. Well, I shall be quiet and let you read. :) Oh, and please review when you're done! Would be gretly appreciated. :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach nor the song that inspired me to write this drabble... T.T
Tears were streaming down her face; her words were like a broken record.
"No, no, no! Please, no, don't Kurosaki-kun…" Sobs escaped her lips.
"Inoue…" His voice slightly cracked at saying her name. Oh, how he hated to see her like this…
"I don't want you to… Please, let me!" Her large grey orbs looked through his strikingly brown eyes.
"You know I can't let that happen, it has to be me either way. Only I can defeat him, Inoue. And you know that…" She didn't respond. "I'm the one who has to save us all; it can't be anyone else. I accepted this a long time ago."
"Then I don't want you to be the hero, anymore! I can't stand to see you getting hurt anymore, I don't know what I'd do if you'd die! I don't know, I don't know…" She shook her head back and forth uncontrollably.
"Inoue!" Ichigo held her head between his hands and shifted it up towards him so that she'd look at him. "I am going to come back. And I will protect everyone, especially you. I have to do this. I will win. I will. Trust me, please…" He leaned his head against hers. Both of their eyes were closed. She sniffed and pulled back from him. Licking her lips, she sighed loudly. Then smiled. And nodded. Ichigo placed a soft kiss upon her lips. "This is not goodbye, okay?" She nodded again.
"I love you, Kurosaki-kun." She smiled sadly up at him as he stood up.
"I love you too, Inoue." And at that he walked away.
She watched his silhouette slowly fade away from her vision and bowed her head.
Please review! :)
