Chapter 10: I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry...

Author's Note:

Author: I hope I don't cry as I'm writing this.... My parents will think I'm crazy...

Ichigo: You are crazy, you're talking to yourself....

Kira: (Writes) Well, this will truly be a sad chapter, won't it?

Author: At least he wasn't in his Vasto Lordes form.....Honestly, that scared me in the show at first...

Kira: His what?

Ichigo: It's nothing! Just forget what she said!

Kira: Okay.......

Kira's POV:

I ran to up the steps that led into the house. I frantically ran to Ichigo and I's room, panting and sobbing. I slammed the door shut, locking it. 

I curled under the sheets of Ichigo's bed, tears staining the sheets. I kept reepeating the same line over and over in my head:

I'm sorry......I'm sorry.....I'm sorry, Ichigo...

I can't believe I was so mean to him. I probably broke his heart. But, those eyes, those abnormal eyes...

They seemed to pierce right into my soul. They....They were the eyes of a killer. They didn't belong on someone with such a kind heart, like Ichigo.

"Kira-Chan!" Orihime's sweet voice called from the hallway. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

I grabbed my Dry-Erase board from the floor and scribbled "Go away." on it. Then, I threw it across the room where it clattered to the floor and slid underneath the door.

"I-I know how you feel, that mask, those eyes....They don't seem like Ichigo's!" I gasped as she spoke the words that I was precisely thinking a moment ago.

"A few months ago, when I saw those eyes for the first time, I was scared too." The girl continued. "But, then I thought about how Ichigo must feel. He exposes himself to that frightening power to protect us. Ichigo is probably scared of it too, but he's using it for us!"

Tears started to fall from my cheeks again. I've only been thinking of myself haven't I?

I turned to the door when I heard the soft taps of tears on the wooden floor.

"So, how would Ichigo feel if we were scared?!? If we didn't appreciate what he was doing? Appreciate that he's protecting us with all of his power!" Orihime sobbed.  I opened the door to see her on her knees, sobbing into her hands. As tears cascaded down my face I hugged Orihime and she gasped from my sudden appearance.

Then, she too, wrapped her arms around me. We both sat there in the hallway for a moment, crying together. However, the sound of footsteps interupted our moment. You can guess who stood in front of us...

Ichigo...

Orihime looked to see who it was and her face softened. She shook out of my embrace and stood up.

"I'll...give you two a moment." She whispered before heading down the stairs.

Ichigo and I stared at each other, both of us wearing solemn expressions. Then, Ichigo stepped forward, breaking the silence.

"Kira, I-" He started but, I stood up and dashed at him. I then wrapped my arms around his chest.

I started sobbing into Ichigo's bare chest, breathing into his chest. He smelled like warm rain and vanilla, a very calming scent.

Ichigo knew, without me telling him, that I was apoligizing. His arms wound around my waist and he hugged me tighter to him. "It's okay, Kira. Don't cry, please."

However, as my sobs lightened I felt warm drop fall onto my shoulders.

Don't you cry either, Ichigo...

Aww, I was in a really sad mood writing this. It's such a cute moment between them...

I really love this story, I hope you do too
