Bleach: Sayonara :Shonen ai:

<sub>Ichigo met Renji's gaze. "Four weeks," Ichigo's voice was low and rough. "If you can't make it…" His reiatsu flared briefly, but was quickly soothed as Renji's energy bolstered him. "I'll come back instead to help. Extra paperwork and classes be damned." Ichigo tried a smile.

"We'll manage somethin'. We always do." Renji sounded as confident as always, his tone conflicting with the tiredness in his face from responding to the midnight alert.

Ichigo swallowed his guilt; he had no choice. He pulled his lover into a rough embrace, memorizing as he always did the feel of the arms gripping him back so strongly and the warm lips that pressed swiftly against his.

"Right." His eyes held Renji's one more time, eyes that mirrored the loss he felt as their reiatsu separated.

Ichigo stepped through the portal.</sub>

So this is for you Akuni Thanks for writing a(n) awesome story(s) (lol plurals)

and hot damn its been a long time since I drew in Taito's style. it was hard D;

plus, Emo Ichigo is sexy (sometimes, other times its just irritating)

this was also to take my mind off of a personal moral crisis, which Lyndi IS NOT HELPING WITH THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >(
