BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

Ichigo was silent in doubt. He sat for almost an hour watching Cenora's window, which was still lit.

"Ah, to hell with anger. I can't be mad at you!" Ichigo cursed to himself and in an instant jumped high across the fence of Cenora's house.

Ichigo's heart melted as he looked at Cenora who was sleeping while sobbing.

"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to upset you," Cenora mumbled and occasionally sobbed, "Don't be mad…" she continued.

"You stupid! Who can be mad at you? I just can't live without you, why should I be angry and stay away from you, huh?" Ichigo grumbled with a smile.

Slowly, he lay down beside Cenora's body. Ichigo hugged Cenora gently from behind.

"Go to sleep, honey… I'm sorry for making you scared and sad. I didn't mean to rape you even though I wanted to. I wouldn't do that if you wouldn't let me do it. So don't doubt my feelings for you anymore."

Ichigo whispered in the ear of Cenora who was fast asleep in the Hybrid's arms.
