“Keh—”

A smirk suddenly appeared on the Sexta’s face. It was a strange gesture considering his insides were boiling with rage at the sight of the long lost Kurosaki.

His hand slipped up Ichigo’s chest, closing around his throat and forcing the back of the orange-haired substitute’s head to bump against the wall. He might be applying too much pressure to the Shinigami’s trachea, but he didn’t give a crap. Kurosaki was too strong for it to be a problem. 

“Make me feel better?” The hollow repeated. He stared at the teen and that smirk didn’t reach his eyes. Nails dug into Ichigo’s flesh, as if he intended to rip the kid’s throat out.

“Did you forget WHO I AM?”

Ichigo failed to notice the smirk on Grimmjow’s face nor his large hand that suddenly preventing the teen from breathing and beat him against the wall. For a moment it was daze until his hands found the others arm, trying to get free from the deadly strangle.

He started to get difficulties to breathe, his sight became a bit hazy though he still could hear Grimmjow’s words—which he couldn’t answer.

He did not like this at all. He wasn’t that weak. He didn’t like to lower himself, begging for Grimmjow’s mercy despite the problem.

So he glared, like he always did. It was his natural habit, the instinct to not give up. He coughed as it became harder for him to breathe. But his grip tighten even more around the Sexta’s arm. One of his hand moved away to grab Grimmjow’s hand that strangling him, trying to get it away and free his throat.

jaegerjaquez—sexta:

Sorry? Sorry…?

Grimmjow wanted to punch this kid.

Who the fuck did he think he was? A simple apology meant nothing to the Sexta. Words meant nothing. They only made everything worse. Sure, Kurosaki left. He wouldn’t give a crap. In fact, Grimmjow didn’t care until the goddamned substitute showed his face back on their once shared room.

Physical contact was, nevertheless, other thing. When Grimmjow felt those fingers burying in his hair, he seemingly calmed just a little. But that was it, just a little. He seemed to relish, just a tad, in the feeling of having Kurosaki pressed up against a wall, defenseless and at his mercy— or so he saw it in his mind— and actually apologizing for leaving. But soon enough, the Sexta was smacking Ichigo’s hand away and stepping back, glare fixated on chocolate eyes.

“I… missed you too.”

“I don’t give a fuck.”

“Oh.” brown eyes glanced away. “Of course you don’t.”

At that moment he realized that, even though Grimmjow is a hollow he still could feel. He was a mixed of hollow and shinigami afterall, just like the teen was. If Grimmjow didn’t have feelings, he would already left or killed Ichigo.

The teen knew he already hurt the Espada. Too much. Too long.

“I know I’m wrong. I’ll leave if it makes you feel better.” Though he still didn’t dare to look at his lover—if Ichigo still deserves him that is.

jaegerjaquez—sexta:

“What?”

Eyes narrowed, head tilted, but anger didn’t leave. There was fire in the Sexta’s eyes, but as always— at least the times when he met the Shinigami in past battles— he held back. This wasn’t the place. Of course, Grimmjow didn’t want to ruin his room, the only thing that once he shared with the orange-haired teenager.

The hand that was loosely wrapped around the blue hilt of his Zanpakutou dropped to his side, but the defensive stance Grimmjow took moments before didn’t disappear. He took a step forward.

And another, and another.

Cornering Ichigo. It was some kind of ritual, something he’d come accostumed to do whenever the teen decided to show up. And when he was close enough, Grimmjow grabbed the front of the substitute’s uniform, yanking him closer, making their bodies collide.

“Whatever the fuck ya gotta tell me, make it fast, Kurosaki, ‘cause I’m about to rip yer fucking tongue out.”

Ichigo didn’t like—never liked it whenever Grimmjow cornered him, brought them closer to each other. For a second his mind was blank when their bodies met.

He hated how physical contacts with Grimmjow lowered his guard.

“Sorry, for making you wait.” So he said, the best answer he could think. Ichigo carefully raised his hand to the other’s untamed azure hair. It made him shiver when his skin touched the surprisingly soft hair, despite the look. Then he started to gently stroking it. Grimmjow might cut his hand, but Ichigo noticed that this kind of touch would calm the angry Espada down.

Pink hue appeared on his cheeks. “I… missed you too.” For once, he should say something honestly, right? Despite how embarrassing, how his pride always held him back to not show his needy side, how it might raise the Sexta’s ego to the point of annoyance.

Grimmjow is really mad. Somehow that makes Ichigo feels guilty and happy at the same time.

It’s Ichigo’s fault leaving Grimmjow too long (more than two weeks? Three? A month?)  without any news because—well he’s a busy student and has his humanly life. But to know that the Sexta is still waiting and got mad instead of being heartless like how hollows are, the young shinigami sure is really happy.

Words are empty without actions. He got to make it up.

“What should I do?”

douceancora:

I usually put posts like these under the read more but this time I won’t. 

Going through the IR tag, I’ve realized that I may have blocked too many people since I can’t see anything else than my fellow IR shippers comments XD. But really guys, why even bother with the nay-sayers? Manga canon doesn’t lie.

Canon fact 1: Kubo has connected Rukia and Ichigo through the rain and this since the very beginning.

• The very first traumatizing event in both their lives happened under the rain, the loss of someone dear to them. The chapters are both titled “Memories in the rain” 

Kaien-Rukia

Masaki-Ichigo

• In the very first arc of Bleach, the first 2 major moments of their relationship (besides the meeting) also happened under the rain:    

MITR

1st separation 

• Metaphorically, Kubo used the rain to illustrate when Ichigo’s in trouble. In the same way, he’s also made Rukia the one makes Ichigo feel better.  He’s called her the white moon who dries the rain for the black Sun (Ichigo) and he’s drawn it too. 

2nd separation

Man in my heart speech

Rukia’s words from Ichigo’s mouth

459 reunion

 All of those are times where Ichigo’s “rain” went away thanks to Rukia.

May the rain be physical or metaphorical, Kubo has always connected Ichigo and Rukia with that element. It’s canon fact repeated over and over. 

Canon fact 2: The destiny theme with IchiRuki. Ichigo and Rukia have had the theme destiny since the very first arc, as well as the unbreakable bond.

• One boy, one shinigami the story of destiny begins

• When the two that share destiny parts and reunite beyond the frame of time, the ceased clock will awake and start to tick once again.

• Unbreakable bond

 

Those are canon facts that whining and denial won’t ever change. You know part of this fandom is going to be in denial over IchiRuki forever. Heck if Ichigo and Rukia were ever to kiss one day, they would still call it a platonic sibling kiss :). So why even bother with people who love using selective reading?

People screaming and trying to convince themselves that rain hasn’t been associated with Ichigo and Rukia, or that the destiny theme is false, won’t change the fact that those are established canon facts Kubo gave IchiRuki only.  Just like they won’t change the fact that the theme destiny Kubo had first associated with IchiRuki, he’s also given to Isshin/Masaki, Ichigo’s parent, now. 

The last chapter reminded some of us IR shippers, of Ichigo and Rukia relationship, because of some obvious parallels between Isshin/Masaki first meeting and the IchiRuki bond? We’re free to talk about it all we want because hey they’re there. I couldn’t care less about being accused of “not reading the manga like a true fan” *snorting*, I’ll say things as I see them, period. 

Don’t let people try to make you feel guilty over ” U bad people stealing Isshin and Masaki moment by making parallels with IchiRuki” facepalm over how ridiculous this sounds. The manga is still there, the Isshin/Masaki moments are still there for anyone who wants to read. Talking about obvious parallels doesn’t change that, it doesn’t make Isshin and Masaki’s moment go away.  

Let’s just enjoy our favorite couple, enjoy the parallels  and talk about it  in our IchiRuki tag. You see any of those people pop up in the tag, the ignore button is your friend and spare you from reading too much non-sense, well you’ll have to see some before you block.

This was my long comment, I’m out. Remember denial doesn’t change canon. 

amy-core:

I believe I’ve blocked dozens of people in the span of 24 hours.

This… this is unbelievable.

Is it really that hard to understand WHY IssMas mirrors IchiRuki? Oedipus and Inoue’s “IMMA CREY BECAUSE K-KUN” face don’t even go here. 

Kubo is a fine poet. Have people forgotten the symbols and themes he uses so lovingly in his manga? Like, you know, The Heart, The Rain, Different Worlds, DESTINY, et cetera?

The fact that he gave IssMas the themes he had previously applied to IchiRuki is a huge deal. If, for example, IssMas had the whole “You stopped the rain” implication too (which is plausible at this point), then IchiRuki would be automatically canonized. There would just be no way around that parallel, no matter how much one would want to twist shit. Poetry and symbolism in Bleach are that significant.

Also, how hard is it to understand that IchiRuki fans only mention the age argument after this chapter to poke fun at the idiots who used it against IchiRuki quite seriously.

THE PEDO AND NECRO GENES MUST RUN IN THE FAMILY, EH?

I’m ready for more Masaki. Bring it on, Kubo. Up next is her badassery. Like, you know, she was the kind of girl woman who didn’t take shit from anyone and complimented the oh-so-handsome Isshin ONLY ONCE. And he fell in love with her.

Oh, this is gonna be fun.
