hello
Every one is doing song fics nowadays, and it really makes me want to do some. I was listening to my iPod, and this song came on when I realized that I really really liked it. So I am doing it for this paring.
Title: Hello
Paring: Hichigo/Ichigo
rating: work safe? no sex, yes to swearing.... nothing suggested.
Warnings: Character death (I know, I'm sorry), ficcage in hopes to make you sad? (bonus points for me if you cry!)
Summary: What would have happened if Grimmjow and Orihime hadn't come to save Ichigo? (not saying this is what WOULD have happened, that was just a question... <.<)
Song: Hello- Evanescence
Play ground school bell rings.... again
It wasn't sure what had happened, but It knew it wasn't good. It had been locked inside the teen for the longest time, It no longer new what was happening outside of this inner world. But It could hear. It could hear gasps of pain, and laughter much like It's own. Laughter that sounded too much like a bell. "King... why are you laughing?"
Rain clouds come to play... again
It was raining, as usual. God how It hated the rain. It had thought they would have been gone longer then this. Clouds never came when the king was fighting nowadays. But It supposed rain was good right now. Rain would wash away this blood that seemed to be seeping out of every nook and cranny there was.
Something. Was. Very. Wrong.
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
The king must have plugged ears or something. It could hear shouts of "You're lying! Rukia can't be dead! Move out of the way so I can save her, Ulquiorra!" She was dead, It knew that and It knew the king knew that. He was just very much in denial.
But that was before the fight. Now, now there was only silence. Silence of the rain, silence of the blood, silence of... everything.
Hello, I'm your mind, giving you someone to talk to...
"King!" There was no answer, which was funny, the white being thought, because he usually answered to that with a 'shut up!'. "Aibou, what is going on out there? Let me out already! Stop just using my powers and let me fight!"
Still, silence. This was getting most frustrating for the inner creature, one could observe, as it paced and tensed it's fists angrly. It could feel the presence of that espada moving away, and growled. "Why is he leaving, king?! You haven't killed him yet! Kill him before he leaves! God DAMN it let me OUT!"
Force, the hollow realized, is what it took to call the teen out. It heard the familiar thump of his king landing in their world. Which meant he had lost, obviously. And now, It was seriously pissed. It turned around to yell at his foolish partner but stopped.
Hello
He wasn't moving. Why the hell wasn't he moving? Why was there so much blood? Why wasn't he in bankai any more? The hollow wanted answers. "OLD MAN!" It called. It wanted to speak to that sword. It knelt by the body and shook him slightly. "Ichigo... common you twat, fucking talk to me!"
More silence, which was starting to make It twitch. Did the king not realize by now that It was here to listen to him? The hollow would always be here for him. "Hello!?"
If I smile and don't... believe
"He's gone, Shirosaki." That bastard Zangetsu always picked the best times to show up. "What are you yakking about?" The man closed his eyes. "I said, hollow, he's gone. Leave him rest in peace."
It was a minute or two before the white being replied, smiling fake-ly. "I don't believe you. That doesn't make sense!"
Soon I know I'll wake... from this dream
"If he was dead, we would be gone too! Stop making up bullshit, you stupid fucking sword! He's just passed out. Soon... he'll wake up... and-and he'll get an ear full from me for being so fucking weak!"
Zangetsu said nothing, and started to disappear. The hollow jumped and grabbed for him. "Where are you going?! I haven't finished talking to you yet!"
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
There was initial shock, of course, when the hollow turned Ichigo over. It's eyes kept sweeping over him like a hawk, wondering why there was such a large hole in his chest. There shouldn't be one there... It knows there shouldn't be one there.
"This is.... this is easily fixable! What the hell was that guy saying? I'll just... yeah.. and then we are going to have a nice chat about how to properly treat this body... you HEAR me?!"
Hello, I'm the lie, living for you so you can hide...
The lie hurt more then it should have. But It really didn't want to hear the truth. It didn't want to listen to the truth. "We had just begun to understand each other, king, and now... you ANSWER me! I want to HEAR you aibou! COME ON!!"
The silence hurt more then the lies ever would. It's face was scrunched into a very distraught way. It wouldn't break, fucking hell It wouldn't break...
"King..."
Don't cry
"...Please, don't die... please... Ichigo!"
It wasn't crying. Hollows don't mourn. And IT certainly didn't cry. It was the rain, god damn it, not tears running down the pale cheek.
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
"I thought.... we had a deal! We had an understanding! You weren't supposed to die before me! I was always supposed to go first! Your.... You're Ichigo for fucks sake! Every body's fucking hero... the knight in shining armour... my... life."
Hello, I'm still here
"You said you wouldn't leave me, king! You said so... and then you fucking kissed me! You promised me! Look what your doing to me you fucking bastard! I'm a hollow! I shouldn't have feelings! I shouldn't be crying! I shouldn't love you!!"
It dropped its head onto the body, already growing cold. It was sobbing silently now, squeezing the shinigami's hand. "I'm still here, king, I'm still here. Not with you... just here.... please... take me with you already! A horse is nothing without it's king!"
All that's left of yesterday...
Particles were slowing disappearing. Everything around them was going. This world had no reason to stay anymore. No reason to exist. The hollow didn't watch as everything around them disappeared until it was only only the two of them.
-"Hichi, you know I love you, right?"-
-"What ever you say king."-
-"Stop calling me that! We are equals now, you hear me? Call me Ichigo!"-
-"Ichi...go."-
Slowly, ever so slowly, It started on It's way as well. It looked up quickly, still clutching his partner's limp hand, and pulled him close as they both broke away into nothing.
"I'm here.... I'm right here with you aibou..."
-"I love you... Hichigo"-
"I love you... I love you, Ichigo!"
