// Ishida's POV after Ulquiorra's death //


So this is what death feels like, huh? How sweet.

I never thought it would be painless.

I can't feel, but it still hurts. I can't breathe--much less speak now--but I know you understand.

Don't worry about me.

"Ishida? Ishida!!"

It's okay.

"Ishida-kun!"

Please don't cry.

I'd like to say that I'm going to a better place.

But I'd be lying.

Don't look so torn, Kurosaki. It doesn't suit you.

I wouldn't want my look of you to be an unhappy one.

I failed to protect Inoue-san when you told me to, Kurosaki. Please take care of her for me.

Do what I couldn't and let her out of harm's way.

Please.

You're not the reason for all of this, trust me. You have nothing to be sorry about.

We both knew that you were always the better man. I'm very glad I got to know you, Kurosaki Ichigo.

I mean that.

So much for pretending to hate Shinigami all the time.

Stupid pride.

+

Please stop crying, Inoue-san

I'm not worth your tears.

You have Kurosaki.

And he's more than I could ever be for you.

So don't make this any more harder for me.

And you.

"Ishida-kun! I--I'm so sorry.."

No, don't be. I was the idiot who fell in love with you when I knew you loved him.

And I regret not letting you know that sooner.

I'm sorry.

+

It was too bad, that man.

I never got to know who he was.

He was very interesting, too.

I'm grateful to you, Espada.

And who knows? Maybe I'll get to properly thank you in a while.

Though, I am curious.

Why didn't you kill me when you had the chance?

I assumed you were the one who gets rid of pests without thought.

Well, I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

We're both going to the same place.

+

They say right before you die, your life flashes before your eyes.

Who would've thought they've been right?

I can't really say my life was anything of significance, but some may think differently.

I doubt that.

Ryuuken was right.

I am a fool.

"So this... is what death feels like."

Some would call it bittersweet, but what's the point of being negative now?

How sweet. Yes.

"How very sweet."
