IchiRuki: Only Almost Here

_{And now I'm with you, I'm close to tears
'cause I know I'm almost here
Only almost here
~Delta Goodrem, Almost Here}

I had an urge to make a depressing pic after I've read Chapter 423 of the manga. It was really sad, I almost cried. But I do know that it isn't over yet, and IchiRuki is well on the way to becoming CANON! *jumps for joy*

IchiHime fans, please don't bash me. I'm definitely a big IchiRuki fan, and this is how I feel.

Anyway, the title. I immediately thought of this song because it's fitting, for me. To keep me inspired, these three songs were played over and over: Almost Here; Eyes On Me; 1000 Words. XDDD

I wanted the "fading" effect on Rukia, like she IS there, but only ALMOST there. Err, okay, that was confusing. ^__^; (I'll probably make a second version using a different coloring style, but I think I'm happy with this one.)


CREDITS
Aerith and Zack's moment for the inspiration. (I actually watched and paused the video XD)
Puppetarium for the texture.
This for the Rukia reference. She has boobs, people. XDDD
BLEACH and Kubo Tite for being awesome. (And err, I kinda copied Ichigo's room from an episode. ^__^)


I know I still have to improve on a lot of things, and that's why I really welcome and appreciate your comments and criticism. (And tips, too!) I do hope IchiRuki fans like this!
