Ichigo Love Story

.:You Can't Open A Lock Without A Key:. (Ichigo Love Story)*Chapter Sixteen*

Chapter 16

I sat up, immediately screaming as pain throbbed in my head. I looked around, seeing barely anything besides blurs.

I rubbed my hand over my eyes, realizing I was crying hard core. Large sobs escaped my mouth as I gasped for breath, which didn’t seem to help me any.

I stumbled up, out of the bed and ran to the door, throwing it open, collapsing outside of my room, in the hallway.

Pain shot threw my body again, but this time from hitting the floor so hard. “D-damn it…” I muttered between sobs, pushing myself up to stand.

I looked around, seeing no one around, anger rushing through my pain filled head. “Where is everyone?!” I scream, pounding a fist against the wall.

“Hayai.” A voice says. I quickly spun around, seeing the pink haired man, holding a small bottle. “Take one of these.” He demands, walking over to me, grabbing my hand, placing a pill in it, and then pushing a cup of water in my other hand.

I looked up at him, questioningly for a second, and then I took the pill, hoping it would cease my head ache.

“You will be better in five minutes.” He says, pushing me foreword. “Follow along and don’t get lost.”

“Where are we going?” I ask, wiping the tears away, hiccupping slightly.

“To see Lord Aizen. He wished to speak with you, and since I had to give you the pills he is having me escort you to him.” He replies, running a gloved hand through his hair.

“I have a question.” I say quietly. Szayel looked over his shoulder at me to show I had his attention so I ask, “Why do you wear glasses? If you are a scientist, wouldn’t you do something else for eye problems?”

“I don’t have eye problems.” He responds, chuckling slightly. “And these aren’t my glasses, they are my hollow mask.”

“YOU’RE A HOLLOW?!” I scream, stopping short in my step, holding onto my head. When the pain seemed to loosen, I let go, stepping foreword again.

“Yes.” He responds, watching me now.

“But hollows are a shinigami’s enemy. Why didn’t Aizen kill you guys?” I ask.

“He needs us for his plan.” He responds, as if it was something I should have known.

“His plans…” I repeat, thinking to myself. “He needs me for his plan.” I say.

“Yes.” He responds. “You are the key to success.”

I raised a brow, not truly understanding what he meant. “What do you mean?”

“It’s truly a simple statement. You can’t open a lock without a key. He needs you to get past the lock.”
