Everything in Between

Bullshit

Terrible. Just terrible. You ever feel that way about your old writing?

"Orihime, the more I draw on my hollow, the less human I become, and if a day ever comes when I fully turn I don't want you to be there." Ichigo said solemnly. Did he love this woman so dearly that he would give up his humanity to protect her and keep her safe? Yes he really would. Did he love her so much that he would give his life and everything that he is to save her? In a heart beat. That was precisely why he had to leave, just in the case he was her end. He would always keep watch from afar, it wouldn't be the same as standing by her side everyday and every moment, but just enough for some closure. As Ichigo stood watching the hot tears well up in Orihime's eyes he knew he would never be able to completely leave his princess. She was everything to him, and he'd stay a little bit longer just for her. Ichigo pulled the young girl into his strong arms and held her tight saying, "I'll stay as long as I can for you, but if I begin to feel that I might be even a slight threat, I need to go." Orihime cried into his chest begging him to never leave her, but she too knew that someday he will have to leave. For now she basked in his presence, her only comfort for the mass of oncoming heartaches that she felt. Ichigo rested his head gently on top of hers, whispering quiet, comforting words that he won't leave her until the time comes. His arms held on even tighter as a new wave of tears came and crashed down upon him, leaving him unable to do anything but hold the distressed and crying girl. Ichigo pulled Orihime down onto her bed as her tears subsided, and dreariness swept in. She soon fell soundly asleep on his shoulder. Ichigo laid down on Orihime's bed with her in his arms, and soon drifted into dreamland himself.
