Falling Into The Black
Urahara had seen it coming. Not this, but something similar.
He had guessed that he would not go out without an injury from the fight with Aizen, but that Aizen is doing this to him he had not counted on.
"My latest discovery" Aizen he had whispered in his ear just before he slit through Urahara.
He smiled when he saw the confusion in the gray eyes.
Urahara had tried to discover what Aizen could have done with him .
Until the day he began to hear the screams.
To feel the emptiness.
To be aware that it was his fault that everyone lost their live.
He had planted it just to Uraharas heart.
Guilt and despair.
They spread into his inner world and captured every other feeling.
Took every happy memory.
Stripped him of every dream.
Benihime tried to defend him desperately, to open the eyes of their master to give him a dream, yes, give a destination to life.
All in vain. After months of hard fighting she gave up. Uraharas Interior has always resembled a maze but now it was even more a black hole nobody can get out. Not even Benihime.
The master she once knew so well and appreciated was now nothing more than a depressed old man.
He don't even hear her anymore.
Urahara find no rest in his sleep.
In his dreams he saw all the faces of people he knew.
And their were dead.
It was a lot harder for him every day to hold his mask up.
Especially for Ichigo.
He did not know why, but the boy was able, though not quite, to see through his mask. He avoids it to see in Ichigo's warm brown eyes.
He knew he would see a questioning look and Urahara would respond with a imploring look.
The guilt feelings were ultimately eaten by despair.
He had everything under control. He hoped at least ...
"Urahara-san?"
He looked up. Orihime stood before him, an anxious smile on her face.
Ichigo and the others had come to practice. Jinta and Ururu cleaned the store.
Tessai made tea. He had agreed to come down to practice with Ichigo .
Chad and Renji were finished with their fight, Chad had won. Both looked exhausted.
Renji was covered with bruises and scratches. To top it he had a black eye.
He complained loudly.
"Hey Hat 'n Clogs! How about a fight?" Ichigo shouted across the trainings area.
"Fine." Urahara shrugged his shoulders and stood up. He pulled out his cane.
"Sing, Benihime!" He pointed his sword at Ichigo.
"Ready-Urahara-san?"
"Born Ready."
The two held nothing back. Ichigo has been strong, Urahara knew, so why hold back to the young who can tolerate this gross?
Their swords crashed into each other with such force, it caused little sparks.
Urahara blocked a blow from Ichigo as he heard them again.
The screams. They became louder and louder and he could nothing do but hold his ears.
The emptiness began to spread again.
Big mistake. Zangetsu cut trough him like paper.
His vision begun to blur. "Urahara!"
He heard Ichigo but he no longer saw the readhead.
The screams grew louder and the world went black.
Damn!
Ichigo could not draw Zangetsu back when it cut through Uraharas belly.
Blood spattered around him and he saw the blond shopkeeper fall on his knees.
He was still holding his ears. Ichigo saw fear in Uraharas gray eyes.
The blonde let out a scream." Urahara!" Ichigo screamed. He knelt beside the blonde, whose eyes start to cluod over.
"Orihime-san!"Paniced, he pressed the deep cut he had caused.
Red blood float steadily from the wound, staining the green kimono.
There was a large puddle on the floor and stuck to Ichigos hakama.
Oh God! Ichigo thoughts raced as Uraharas blood seeped through his fingers like sand in an hourglass.
The cut went right through the stomach and released red flesh.
Ichigo could smell the blood, he saw it, it was all around and far too much.
He could have sworn that he felt like it started to rain. Time seemed to stand still.
"Kurosaki-kun, what happened?" Orihime knelt against him, on her face was pure shock .
"I do not know ..." he whispered. The redhead just stare on the wound, the blood ran through his fingers as life flowed from the man he liked ...
"Kurosaki-kun, take your hands off please!" His hands stayed where they were.
"Kurosaki-kun!" He did not respond, just stared at the blood.
"Kurosaki-kun, please, or he dies!" Orihime pleaded. "ICHIGO!"
Two strong hands pulled down his from the cut and the blood flow out faster, until Orihime put her hands on it.
Orange light spread over Urahara and the blood circulation stops after a few seconds.
"What the hell happend?" asked Renji.
