Hey! I'm posting an Ichiruki fanfic for my friend! Hope you enjoy!
Asylum Hauntings
Chapter 1
"Hey Rukia, do you have your reports on patient fourteen?"Renji called.
Rukia strode over to him, handing him a small stack of neatly organized papers. She smugly replied,"Why would I not have them?"
Renji sighed,"You know, you work way to hard. You should take a break. You are working with crazy people after all. If you're not careful, you'll become one yourself."
"Renji I'm fine. Perfectly fine. In fact, I just got a new patient. See you,"She called walking down the hall.
It was true. She worked with crazy people. An crazy house, some called it. Most people pretended it didn't exist. It was, after all, an asylum. Rukia didn't think about it that way. She mainly just turned off her brain, working without thinking. That was the best way to get the job done. Besides, after work she had no life.
Usually she'd walk home, or sometimes Renji would drive her when he felt like being nice. Occasionally she'd take the bus. By the time she got to her apartment, she was always extremely tired, and almost never had any messages on her phone. Most of the time she would make herself something to eat, pull out the futon, and fall asleep to the buzz of the t.v. Then a new day would start.
Rukia sighed, almost wishing she had some kind of friend. Any kind. Just having someone would be nice. She shook the thoughts out of her mind as she strode into room fifteen.
To her surprise, she saw a carrot-topped boy sitting there. He must've been just around her age. He wasn't beating against the walls or screaming to get out. Instead he just sat there, looking down, hands folded on the table.
She slid into the seat across from him. He slightly tilted his head, as to see her. His eyes were a great amber color, but were filled with pain and misery. They would look so much better with a hint of happiness, Rukia thought to herself as he tilted his head back to its original state.
"Do you know where you are?"She mumbled, returning to her routine.
He nodded.
"Do you know why I'm in here with you?"
He nodded again.
She sighed,"Who sent you here?"
He shifted. She was worried that he'd come up and slap her like patient 43 did. He took in a deep breath, then mumbled,"I did."
His voice was amazing. Something so beautiful, yet so broken and hurt. She then realized what he said. She mentally kicked herself for letting herself get into that kind of daze.
"Why did you do that?"She asked, a puzzled look upon her face.
He looked up, an image of fear and heartbreak all tied into his expression,"Is it a mental illness to hurt everyone around you? To not be able to protect them?"
The boy sounded so desperate for an answer. Rukia didn't have one. He clenched his fists and looked down again, mumbling,"Even if it is not, I don't want to hurt anyone anymore. I don't want to watch them die for me."He looked up to find Rukia just sitting there with no emotion on her face. He grumbled,"I didn't expect you to understand anyway. Just lock me up in a corner and leave me to die."
"You came to hide yourself from everyone else. To make it so you couldn't hurt anyone."She managed to say. The boy began to shake. She lightly touched his arm,"What's your name?"
He stopped shaking, surprised,"Kurosaki. Kurosaki Ichigo."
She quickly jotted down the name and scrambled out of the room. For the rest if the day she was unable to get any work done. For some reason the boy kept haunting her mind. He was so different. So... Strange.
After work, Renji drove her home. Neither one of them talked. Renji was never good at starting conversation, and Rukia had nothing to say. She thanked him for the drive and idly walked into her apartment. After a nice dinner of cheap noodles and spaghetti sauce, she fell asleep.
"Are you going to help me, Rukia?"The boy mumbled. He ran his fingers through her hair,"Are you willing to help someone so different?"
He started to lower himself closer to her. Closer and closer until they were almost touching lips.
Suddenly Rukia awoke to the sound of her alarm buzzing. She quickly threw on her uniform and brushed her teeth and hair. She dashed out if the house, munching on a granola bar.
After checking up on the gruesome Grimmjow, she headed down into the file room. The room was filled to the brim with papers. Boxes and files, boxes and files. She rarely walked down here, for fear she might get lost, but found this to be a special occasion.
"Kurosaki, Kurosaki, Kurosaki..."She mumbled searching through the papers in the section "k."
Still she searched on until finally she prevailed. She could tell the file was just made. The papers were still all in the folder and the file itself was brand new. Snatching up the papers like a trophy, she sound a chair and sat.
Ichigo Kurosaki
Age: seventeen
Hair color: orange
Eye color: brown
Occupation: None
She smiled,"Yeah, that's him."
She suddenly realized her grin, and, surprised, wiped it clean off her face. She continued to read.
Parents: Masaki Kurosaki and Isshin Kurosaki
Masaki Kurosaki: died in a construction accident
Isshin Kurosaki: murdered
Siblings: Karin Kurosaki and Yuzu Kurosaki
Both murdered
Rukia furrowed her brow. She flipped the page to find their deaths in more detail. She skipped passed Masaki's, more interested in Ichigo's father's and sister's deaths.
While Ichigo Kurosaki was out getting groceries for his family, Aizen Sosuke sneaked into his house and killed Isshin, Yuzu and Karin. When Ichigo got back, Aizen was just killing his sisters. Aizen finished the sisters and attempted to murder Ichigo as well, but Ichigo put up a fight. The police caught them in the act, saving Ichigo. Aizen is now being held in the Karakura asylum.
"Aizen killed them?!"She yelled.
Aizen, she though. The Aizen located in room 137? The Aizen that is being held in a straight jacket? The Aizen that is perfectly calm and collected even though he will be held inside that room until he dies? That Aizen?
Seeing Renji and a few others heading her way, she put the file under her arm and calmly walked away.
So, did you like it? If so, review and my friend will write a second chapter :)
