This is my first Published fic, originally it started as a prompt to an English Class in High School, but then I decided it was just too awesome to keep to myself. We all have to start somewhere right?

Now Let The Story Begin!
Chapter 1.
It was a beautiful day to be taking a walk. Ichigo pondered how it could be so, after all hadn't his world just recently crashed down around him? Sighing he brushed back his dark amber hair, revealing heavy chocolate eyes . It had almost been a month since the accident that took his mother's life, and the effects were still being felt by his brothers and him. In fact the one who suffered the most, he surmised, was his younger brother, Lee.
Lee had been a normal, if a little energetic, kid with an unholy love for the color green and exercising. His raven hair would bounce behind him, while his dark eyes sparkled with utmost joy. At least that was until the accident, Lee had been in the car that dark melancholy night his mother crashed, and he had barely survived. Thankfully, whenever he or his older brother asked, he had no recollection of that time. The doctors had said that the trauma had just been too great, and that his brain shut down to prevent further damage.
Arthur, his older brother, said it was a blessing in disguise. After all, did they really want to know what happened that terrible night? True enough he supposed, but there were times late at night when he couldn't help but wonder what had happened. Did his mother drive off the road intentionally? Finally driven crazed by the loss of her husband's? Not that she was married to them all at the same time, but the evidence was right there. Showing in their appearances and their last names, as she wanted to be able to remember the men she had loved.
Arthur's last name was Kirkland, his father had been an English gentlemen that their mother had met at a poetry reading. Arthur had inherited his blond hair,emerald eyes and accent, as well as some of his quirkier traits from what Ichigo had heard. His father died after being mugged by a former pirate friend of his. Ichigo's own father was a doctor that his mother had met after tripping down some stairs. His last name was Kurosaki, the only thing he inherited from him it seemed was normal eyebrows, brown eyes, and a penchant disregard for the rules. Of all his brothers he was the only one to have his mother's hair color, which he was grateful for because his other two brothers inherited her bushy eyebrows. His own father died saving a young girl from a gang. Funnily enough, he mused, it was only after their mother swore off men did she meet Lee's dad, at a gym no less. His last name was Kaoru, and he loved being active. It was from him Lee gained his looks, exempting their mother's eyebrows, and his passion for being fit. Lee's dad had died in a tragic boxing match. The opponent hit him too hard, and his neck snapped under the pressure.
Ichigo pause for a moment letting it sink in. How could it be while most people never went through tragedy in their lives, they had their parents taken from them one by one until only they remained? How long would it be before they themselves died? Suddenly the sound of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" rose from his pocket. It's Arthur, flipping it open he presses it to his ear before speaking in his nonchalant voice, "Yo."
