&. SUDDENLY , HE IS MADE OF GLASS. see through , reflective , making his soul visible to someone who very clearly wishes to peer into ichigo’s depths &. laugh at the ambition igniting his soul like a match to gasoline. her voice is haunting , that of a spirit who has yet to find peace ( &. when the world is this unkind , would she ever ? ) , crawling up the length of kurosaki’s spine unlike any horror or arrancar have managed before. perhaps that is why he feels his heart trembling behind sanctum of ivory ribs. it almost makes him wretch , seek freedom from his gigai &. wildly draw his sword against an enemy unknown , &. he refrains despite. in spite maybe. he doesn’t want to give her that beastly reaction she’s so desperately trying to yank from him. breathe in , breathe out. refuse to be a lamb in sacrificial garb for the sneering wolf ; defy her mouth of sharpened fangs with your own &. snarl. ichigo clenches his fists , grits teeth as mocha hue grow wide in their sockets. a fatal flaw has always been trying to harbour sympathy even for those undeserving , who wear the title of ‘ evil ‘ like a second skin , &. to deny eto knowing such a thing would be a bold faced lie. some people are just too far gone , yet it’s so hard to accept such cruel facts. ❝ shut your MOUTH ! ❞ he finally snaps , metaphorical embers sparking off silver forged tongue. when he glares then , it’s sharp &. dagger - esque &. he has to refrain from donning shinigami garb right then &. there. ❝ i’ve lost myself before , i don’t hide behind it or some bullshit mask while i runnin’ my mouth ‘an i’d do it all over again to protect the people i care about the most. ❞ ah , how could he ever forget ? the monstrous screams while hollowfying for the first time , before conquering that inner demon &. coming to terms with the two souls merging &. becoming something vaguely whole ? that’s where she’s wrong ; ichigo still knows who he fights for , his purpose , recognizes his reflection in the mirror every day despite the faint flecks of neon yellow in his eyes via hollow influence. this sacrifice . . . he’d repeat it forever if he had to. he has these powers for a reason . . . right ? to protect. to fight. &. ichigo doubts the owl could ever relate to such a concept. ❝ you’re nothin’ i haven’t met before , ‘an i’m tired of hearing you run that damn mouth like you know a single thing about me. ❞ &. we are nothing alike.
