Curious Chicklet B3 - Middle of the night
Ichigo woke with a start, gasping for breath as for just the barest of seconds he didn't know where he was. Then the world straightened itself and he was aware of his shirt sticking to his skin and the sound of his own breathing. Too fast.
Images of a world where the wall was down and the clouds rushed to the ground slowly faded, but the voice from his dream remained. Taunting him, pushing into every corner of his mind until Ichigo felt like he was drowning.
The darkness around him was crowding in on him and Ichigo needed to move. He needed to remember who he was right now, needed to feel Zangetsu's presence which was hard to remember over the sound of the thing inside his head.
He didn't fumble when he reached for his shinigami substitute badge and a few seconds later his body slumped down on the bed and Ichigo watched himself. He tugged the blankets over his body and he'd be back before anyone would notice he was gone.
[[Establishy since he's pretty much a spirit right now. The waking up in the middle of the night part is good for radio. The whole leaving his body thing isn't.]]
