Chapter 45

"Have you recovered Ichigo?" Brown eyes looked up at the older male. Zangetsu was floating in his spot as Ichigo laid back on the slanted building, staring up at the drifting clouds.

"I'm okay, I can feel Hichigo now too. It's faint, but he's there. He's going to be pissed when he finally gets out." Zangetsu chuckled. "That's to be expected. " Ichigo shifted his gaze to the ground, his hand gripped the front of his shirt. He bit his lip. 

His other hand moved to his eyes, covering it. Zangetsu watched as Ichigo's shoulders shook slightly. He didn't fail to see the small trail of tears that slipped down the side of Ichigo's face. Zangetsu turned his eyes to the sky.

"There is no need to worry. We'll find her. I know you can save everyone Ichigo. Just believe that."

Ichigo's mind trailed back to that conversation.

"You're scared." The orange haired male jumped at the sudden voice. Yuki gave a small smile, taking a seat next to him by the wooden table. There was no one else present in the room. Kisuke and the others were going over the plan. Toshiro being briefed on all that was going on so far.

Ichigo's shoulders tensed. Not that he was alone with her, he couldn't look her in the eyes. He almost killed her husband. Yuki noticed, placing a hand on his shoulder. "No need to be so scared. I-I heard what happened. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't angry. Nevertheless, Kai was in the wrong too. He had no right to take her from us. When he gets better I'm going to give him an earful." Yuki said playfully. 

Ichigo's shoulders relaxed but she could still see the conflict in his eyes. "I know you love her Ichigo, we will get her back. "

Ichigo's hand formed fist on the ground.

"Everyone is afraid I'll lose control again and destroy everything. They all..have that look in their eyes. Kai did, Orihime did....you do.. " 

Yuki's eyes widened as she pulled her hand back to her chest. She looked away ashamed. 

"I-I.." 

Ichigo shook his head. "It's okay, hell I'd probably have the same look. The only person who's never looked at me like that.. Is (Y/N). She always said she loved me no matter what I was. It's funny because when I told her how I felt, she thought she didn't deserve to have me. The truth is...I didn't deserve her." Yuki wasn't sure what to say.

"I'm a monster, there's no doubt about that. Whatever it is inside me, I know I can keep it under control. As long as she just looks at me like that again. I feel like I'll never have to worry about losing control. Cause she'll always be there to look at me, with that sparkle in her eyes."

Ichigo gave a dry chuckle. "Heh, I'm starting to sound like a blabbing idiot.

"I...I'm honored that you think so highly of my daughter Ichigo.." When he turned he flinched when he noticed Yuki was crying. 

"H-Hey! I didn't mean to make you cry, q-quit it!!" Rukia entered the room. She immediately noticed Yuki's tears. Soon everyone started to file in. Watching the ordeal.

"Ichigo!! What the hell did you do! Don't you think It's bad enough you beat the crap out of her husband. But you make her cry too!!"

"B-But I didn't-"

Kisuke shuffled in shaking his head. "Really have a way with words don't you Ichigo."

"Typical Ichigo." Yoruichi voiced.

Ichigo's head fumed as he yelled. "DAMN IT I DIDN"T DO ANYTHING!!!"

Time skip

Ichigo wore a scowl as he sat in the corner glaring at the wall.

"I didn't mean to make you look bad. I'm so sorry. I-I just get emotional sometimes. " Rukia patted her on the back. "There's no need to apologize. It's Ichigo's fault." An irk mark pulsed on his head as he turned. "Could we please just get started." he seethed with a deadly aura.

Yuki sweatdropped. "We should."

Kisuke walked forward. "We'll need to do this in a secure area. We should head over to Shinji's. That way the three of you can sync. The quicker this is done the better. There's no telling what (Y/N) may be going through. " Ichigo looked up. 

"What are you saying? He wouldn't do anything to put her in danger. " Kisuke nodded. 

"That's true but...the only place that Kai could have left her without us tracking is another plain, much like Hueco Mundo, or the Soul Society." Yuki clarified. Toshiro was leaned on the wall, Rangiku by his side. "Chances are she's still in an altered state, otherwise we would have felt her flaring reiatsu. If that's the case she's alone, and scared. In a sense she's stuck in a dream, and she has no idea how to get out of it."

Ichigo's fists clenched.
