I went to Aizen's room to see if he was there. Although I didn't find him I found my sword next to his bed. I positioned it on my back and headed to the throne room.
"I can't believe I forgot my sword," I said to no one.
I reached the throne room and opened the doors. Aizen was there with Gin and Tosen at his side.
I took a deep breath and walked towards him. He stared at me as I came closer. I slowed my pace, then stopped, unsure of what to do.
He stood up and walked over to me, wrapping his arms around me. Our faces are so close that our breaths intermingle. He pecked me on the lips.
At this point I'm sure I'm blushing, "Aizen."
He lifted me up, carrying me princess style. He carried me over to the throne, positioning me in his lap as he sat down.
I blushed harder as he kissed me again, only with more passion. There was something sweet about it. I wanted to melt into it, just melt into it and let all my troubles float away.
But I couldn't, I pulled away, "I have to ask you something."
He hummed, "And what's that?"
"Could Orihime be sent home?" I asked.
"Do you think she'll want to go back?" he replied.
My voice got caught in my throat, I couldn't answer.
"Even if she wanted to leave, where would she go?" he continued.
I was about to say Karakura town until I remembered. Again I wasn't able to say anything.
He smirked, rubbing my head, "Well her friends are here to save her, so you don't have to worry about that. However, I have to ask, do you think that they will leave without you?"
I looked at him confused, "What do you..." I stopped realizing what he meant, "I didn't think of that."
"What will you do?" he asked.
I got up, kissed his forehead, "I have an idea." I walked out of the room.
As I closed the door behind me, I wondered how I would find them. I mostly wondered around for a bit.
Eventually I happened to see someone in a Shihakusho and a shawl. As I got closer I realized who it was.
"Rukia!" I called out to her, running to catch up.
She turned around, hand on her sword. Her expression turn from serious to shocked. "Ichigo? What are you doing here?"
"We can talk later, come on I'll lead you to Orihime," I started heading towards her room.
"Wait Ichigo!" she cried out.
"Hurry up, we ought to go now if we don't want anyone to see us," I told her.
As I started running towards Orihime's room I heard her following me. We reached the room I stopped.
"She should be alone in there," I placed my hand on the door. "You'll have to take her and get her out as quickly as possible."
"What about you?" she asked.
I turned to face her, "I'm staying here," I told her.
"How come?" she asked.
I averted my eyes from her gaze unable to look at her, "Because I fell in love with him." I turned away from her, "Now go while you still can."
I feel a piercing pain through my chest. I looked down to see a sword sticking out of me.
"I'm sorry," Rukia said, "but this is for your own good."
There was a blinding white light and then everything went blank.
