A drabble/not!fic from this verse, because sometimes, people reblog/like my old stuff and then I get curious about what they’ve reblogged/liked so I go back and reread snippets of my never-to-be-finished crap and end up adding to it. Possibly to make it even crappier, but hey, it’s fun when I get the inspiration and everyone needs a hobby.
Maybe Muramasa’s been wandering around for a long time without Kouga, sick and obsessed with freeing his wielder. He stumbles on a ten-year-old Ichigo when he’s wandering around the Human world one day, and he can sense the ridiculous amount of reiatsu Ichigo has, and it’s interesting enough for him to stick around for a little while. It isn’t as if Karakura has a shortage on Hollows either, and he’s careful to stay out of sight; someone with that much power would be able to see him if he showed himself.
He watches Ichigo buy groceries and drag them home, watches two little girls even younger than the boy latch onto him at the door, watches him help them with homework and walk them to and from school and tuck them into bed. Muramasa isn’t exactly an expert on children but this strikes him as a little odd – shouldn’t there be parents around to take care of them?
And then Muramasa finally sees the father, and he only needs a few moments to place that face. Shiba Isshin should not be playing house in the human world; as a Shinigami, he should be in Soul Society.
Why the fuck do I gotta make one of these posts? This literal exact same post has been made a million times. Is this like a right of passage?
“Enter here, ye who would carry the mantle of IchiRuki, prove thy worth and test thy might.”
Fine, fuck it. Briefly, and by no means comprehensively:
If you and someone you have a “deep bond” with look at each other like this (and they regard the people who hurt you with murderous rage, or vice versa) then you need to have a serious conversation with your Significant Other.
(Also, Rukia, please, “I forbade you to come!” Talk like that shouldn’t be used in public, especially not in front of your brother.)
While I’m here:
Ichigo equated death with the end of his suffering, and felt that Kisuke had made a mistake in rescuing him, as he wasn’t worthy of living after failing to protect Rukia. Succeeding in doing so also ended his suffering and reaffirmed the value of his life.
They saved each other’s lives physically several times, but much more importantly, they saved each other’s lives spiritually and psychically. They each
asserted and affirmed there was value in the other’s life.
