Once Ichigo stopped standing opposite him was Zuri, her back was facing him but he knew it was her by her pink hair.
Zuri turned around and looked at Ichigo, her eyes likes Hollows and fangs. It wasn’t Zuri, it was Demon Spirit.
“Took you long enough to arrive Ichigo” Demon Spirit whispered sexily “I want to thank you”
Ichigo grabbed his Zanpakuto
“If you hadn’t broken poor little Zuri’s heart, I would never have been able to take control of her again” Demon Spirit laughed.
Then she appeared in front of Ichigo holding his Zanpakuto, stopping him from moving.
“Now that you’re here, I want to play and have some fun with the Hollow inside you” she licked her lips
“Come on Ichigo, let me take over for a bit and play with Demon Spirit” Hollow Ichigo whispered inside Ichigo’s mind.
Ichigo grabbed hold of his head, should he let his Hollow take control “Fine”
Then suddenly the area they were in changed, they were in Ichigo’s soul. Ichigo glanced around confused, why were they fighting in his soul?
“Stand back, Ichigo” Hollow Ichigo spoke not taking his eyes off Demon Spirit
Demon Spirit licked her lips and fangs and smirked at Hollow Ichigo, “Ready?”
“As I’ll ever be!” Hollow Ichigo cackled grabbing the handle of his Zanpakuto.
Demon Spirit and Hollow Ichigo battled it out; they seemed to be evenly matched. At the same time they both released their Bankai and started going at it, evil grins plastered on their faces.
“You’re good” Hollow Ichigo smirked jumping down
“I would say the same about you, but I’m not going to” Demon Spirit cackled as blood oozed out some of her wounds.
Hollow Ichigo looked down and noticed blood dripping down from his chest; he smirked and looked up at her. She was good. He didn’t even know that she hit him.
Then once again they were in the air clashing their Zanpakuto against one another, turning everything around them into a blood bath.
Finally they stabbed one another. Hollow Ichigo was disappearing; his wound was in his stomach whereas Demon Spirit’s was in her shoulder.
“I win” she cackled
Then Ichigo blinked and saw that they were back in the real world, Demon Sprit stood opposite him unaffected by her wounds.
“Let’s fight Ichigo” Demon Spirit yelled pointing her sword at Ichigo “Make it fun, yeah?”
Ichigo gritted his teeth “Tch”
Without warning Demon Spirit launched her body toward Ichigo slamming her Zanpakuto against his. Ichigo didn’t want to fight; he didn’t want to hurt Zuri.
“Stop holding back Ichigo” Demon Spirit whispered licking her teeth “What did Zuri ever see in you?”
Ichigo growled and pushed her away from him. Demon Spirit smirked and licked her fangs. Now it was getting interesting.
Ichigo and Demon Spirit battled it out for different reasons.
Ichigo wanted Zuri back, he wanted to say sorry.
Demon Spirit just wanted to fight.
Ichigo slammed his Zanpakuto down on Demon Spirit’s shoulder, he made sure not to look into her eyes otherwise he knew he’d see Zuri.
Demon Spirit jumped up into the air and slammed down onto Ichigo. Ichigo’s eyes widened as blood splattered across his face.
Demon Spirit’s body was impaled onto his Zanpakuto, the blood forcing her to slid down. Her eyes changed to a blue.
Zuri looked up at Ichigo with weak eyes “Sorry Ichigo”
Ichigo released his sword and fell to his knees holding Zuri’s body.
Zuri smiled weakly “Good bye”
Tears welled in Ichigo’s eyes. What had he done? He just killed the one he loved. And the last thing he said to her was;
I don’t love you.
Ichigo closed his eyes as hugged her limp body as tears fell down his cheeks.
“Zuri, no I’m the one who should be sorry” Ichigo sobbed hugging her body “I do love you Zuri, I do.”
No reply. Zuri was already gone.
He killed her.
Ichigo looked up at the sky “ZURI I’M SORRY!! COME BACK TO ME!!!”
Yet again no answer.
“Zuri” Ichigo sobbed as he looked down at her body, the tears from his eyes landing on her face, it was too late.
Zuri was gone….
“Ichigo?” Rukia whispered
Ichigo looked up at Rukia and felt her reiatsu was fading along with her body. He couldn’t even feel his family’s reiatsu.
The part that killed Ichigo was that he felt his reiatsu fading; it wouldn’t be long now until he wouldn’t be a Shinigami anymore. He wouldn’t be able to see any of his friends. Fights hollow’s or even protect his family.
He even lost the one he loved.
The love of his life.
Zuri Watanabe.
This was good bye.
Zuri Watanabe.
“Goodbye” Ichigo whispered into the wind “Zuri Watanabe”
