Darkness and Moonlight | Arrancar! Ichigo Kurosaki

You woke up in a cold, dimly lit room. Your head was pounding, your body refusing to obey. The last thing you remembered was walking through the city at night, shadows, swift movement... and those golden-amber eyes, filled with a strange longing and desire.

"Finally woke up"

The voice was low, hoarse, but recognizable. You looked up sharply and saw him.

Ichigo Kurosaki

But not the one you knew

His red hair had grown long, and a sinister, broken Hollow mask had appeared on his face. His clothing had changed—now it was a flowing white cloak, a white hakama, and on his chest there was a gaping emptiness, a hole, like an Arrancar's. But the most terrifying thing was his eyes. His right eye was still that light brown, a reminder of his past, and the other, the one beneath the Hollow mask, was amber, with black sclera, but now a cold, predatory fire burned in them.

"W-what... what's wrong with you?"

You whispered, crawling back to the wall. He chuckled, slowly approaching

"With me? Everything's fine. But with you..."

he leaned down, his fingers touching your chin, making you flinch

"I liked you"

"This... this is a joke? You... you were protecting people!"

You shouted in a trembling voice, which only caused a mysterious smile from him

"Earlier"

His hand slid down your cheek.

"But now I realize there are things that are much more interesting. For example... you."

You tried to push him away, but he easily caught your wrist, pinning you to the wall.

"Don't be afraid"

He whispered, and suddenly there was something familiar, almost human, in his voice

"I won't hurt you. It's just… you're too bright. Like a piece of sun. And now you're mine."

You froze, feeling his breath on your face

"Ichigo…"

You whispered, not knowing whether to beg him or call for help. He closed his eyes, as if struggling with himself, but when he opened them again, the same darkness burned in them.

"No one will find you"
