Is our love strong enough?(Ichigo Kurosaki sequal)

Chapter 8

Ichigo’s P.O.V

“Do you think that Kensei knows how big you’re screwing up?’ Hichigo questioned, a chuckled escaping his lips and echoing throughout my head. I rolled my eyes at him.

“Would you just shut up already?” I questioned seriously. He was really starting to get on my nervous. All last night he wouldn’t shut up and wouldn’t let me go to sleep until I finally spilled why I wouldn’t make things with Kaya official even though we were already acting like we were. And then even after I told him and he promised that he would let me sleep after I told him, which I should have known from the beginning that he wouldn’t have kept that promise, he continued to yell at me telling me how big of an idiot that I am. Even though to be honest with myself, I am the biggest idiot on the planet right now. I love Kaya, she means everything to me and she always has and always will. I want to be with her more than anything. But ever since she left, I realized that I couldn’t just stand around and wait around for her anymore. Which is exactly what I did, I didn’t wait around anymore, I moved on with my life. And I regret every single moment of it.

“As you should” Hichigo growled, interrupting my thoughts.

“I thought I told you to shut up already?” I asked him, my aggravation for him showing more and more. Hichigo let out another low and threatening growl. I shook my head slightly back and forth, releasing a low and long sigh.

“Ichigo, hold on a minute.” I stopped dead in my tracks. I recognized the voice and knew who it was before I even turned around to see who was behind me.

“Shuhei, I didn’t realize that you were here” I told him as I slowly spun around to face him. Shuhei Hisgai was the lieutenant of squad 9. His captain, who betrayed the soul society along with Azien and Gin, was Tousen. And because of that I kind of grew leery of Shuhei. I know that I shouldn’t judge a person by their captains’ actions, but I still do with Shuhei.

“Or maybe it’s because he’s Kaya’s ex. And unlike you, he would actually treat her the way that she should be treated” Hichigo said. I let out a low growl of my own at him. But instead of intimidating him like I wanted too, he ended up bursting into laughter at me.

“Let me guess, conversation gone bad with your hollow?” Shuhei questioned me, snapping me out of my thoughts with Hichigo. He was standing there, eyebrow arched in a questionable manner, studying me.

“Yeah you could say that” I mumbled, placing my hand on the back of my neck and rubbing it slightly. It was a nervous habit that I tend to do when I was placed in a situation such as this one. “But anyways, I didn’t know you were here” I repeated. Shuhei’s eyebrow lowered, his face turning serious.

“Yeah me and a group of soul reapers came to the world of the living to prepare for the upcoming battle with Azien” Shuhei explained. I nodded my head slightly.

“Yeah everyone has been running around like chickens with their heads cut off preparing for the battle” I said more to myself than him. Shuhei let out a slight chuckled and nodded his head in agreement.

“That they have” He said. We really didn’t say much of anything after that. Me and Shuhei have never really been friends, maybe it is because he is Kaya’s ex and I don’t feel comfortable with that. But it’s also because we never really hung out and got to know each other. Don’t get me wrong, Shuhei seems like a really nice guy. But with him having been with Kaya, I like to keep my arms at a certain length with him.

“So what is it that you wanted, Shuhei?” I asked him, breaking the silence that was now becoming awkward.

“Oh yeah, that. I was wondering why Kensei looked like he wanted to kill you? I mean I know I haven’t really known him that long and I only met him one other time before this, but it seemed pretty obvious that he doesn’t really like you right now” Shuhei questioned, his face becoming once again serious. I shrugged my shoulders.
