KISS MEANS CONTROL

haat! I had forgotten all about this idea! Now I remembered I'm happy! Enjoy!

They fought. And fought and fought and fought and it seemed like they had been fighting for eternity. It felt like there was little more meaning to anything other than fighting. Whatever that meant, Ichigo didn't know.

He hardly understood what things meant anymore.

"You don't have what it takes to be king. You're not strong enough. You have no killer instinct."

What was instinct again? He felt there was something he needed to do. As if this ritual of fighting that had become so normal needed something else.

He was slowly losing control, losing identity, losing his mind. He wanted to laugh. And he wondered briefly what he'd be like if he was crazy. Just like his hollow counterpart?

"Do you want to know what I am, aibou? I'm your darker side I am your evil. You have a dark heart."

As far as Ichigo was concerned, nothing mattered. He could go on fighting and fighting and it wouldn't matter. This could continue forever, and it still wouldn't matter. Or maybe that was someone else speaking? That hollow trying to put words into his head?

I know every little inch of your soul. Those things you feel aibou, do you understand them? Do you think you can stop me?"

It didn't really matter. Though, the thought of that creature knowing even his most intimate and private business made him angry. Who was he to go snooping around his brain?

"No killer instinct to be king at all. Because you can't do that one thing."

As the hollow was about to grasp the pure white Zangetsu that was stuck in his gut, but Ichigo took hold of it. It turned black once more.

There was something he needed to do. There was just something that had to be done, or nothing would ever be accomplished. If he didn't do this now, though Ichigo hardly even knew what it was, he knew his hollow would only come back and torment him once more.

He speared his hollow through the stomach, gazing apathetically at the shocked bone white face. He leaned up, joining their lips as blood splattered over them. His hollow kissed back forcefully, and for a moment he didn't really understand what he was doing.

All it was...It had to be instinct...

And that kiss could have continued forever. It really made no difference.

When he broke away, his hollow graced him with a tiny smile that grew wider as he disappeared.

"A warning before I go king. Kiss means control remember that."

Didn't really matter. Nothing really did. He had won, that's all he cared about. Because it could have gone on forever. And it would never make a difference.
