It was a cold December night as Ichimaru Gin sat comfortably in one of Rukon's small Hospitals. He watched, bored, as wet rain fell sloppily to the moist, grungy dirt.
Gin, bored by the tap, tap, tapping of the water on the windowcill, turned his attention to the nervous and fretfull nurses behind him at the front desks.
"Do you see that boy, over there?" The first nurse, Ayano, whispered to the younger nurse next to her, Kazue.
"The white-haired one? Hai. He's so creepy; just sitting there doing nothing makes him look scary. And what a horrible smile!" Kazue replied, not being as quit as Ayano had been.
"I know! And he's a rapscallion, too!" Ayano conspired.
"Really?! Not a suprise, but what could he do?" Kazue squirmed, not comfortable near him. The woman had every right, Gin supposed. After all, people like Kazue and Ayano were raised under a simple beliefs and givings. When they looked at the waterfalls, cold liquid fighting even colder liquid and the crashing of titans as it impacted the lower waters, sound of the roaring rivers battling in a peacefull stream, to fast to take in, all they saw was... A river. A waterfall.
So when they saw him, eyes squezed shut in an uprooted fashion with his skinny smile that resembled an opened tin soup can, bloody silver-white hair like moon rays, they saw a kid. a kid with a not-quite-right smile.
"The young girl, the pregnant one? He's the father!" Ayano yelled, but still, at the same time, whispered. "And there she is, probably bawling her head off as she delivers, and there he is, not even caring how the baby comes out!"
"What?! That poor girl! Do you think the baby will come out deformed?!" Kazue practically screached.
"It'lll probably turn into a monster-!"
Crash!
The two nurses heads snapped up at the sound of broken wood and glass, the side of the building marred now with a giant hole, some of the glass at the bottom of the window fallen off.
Gin slowly walked up to the two frozen nurses.
"Don't... Don't you dare talk about my child like that..." Gin's voice rung throughout the waiting room. The nurses just stared at him. Their ugly faces contorted between horror, fear and shock.
"You have no right... To speak of them on the day of their birth..." He stared at their feet for a secant, and, befor they could blink, he was gone.
Rangiku hadn't been awake for the birth. The pain knocked her out. But it was okay, Gin felt, as she didn't need to be awake for something so painfull.
The doctor had long left, Gin saying he would clean the baby (the doctor had already handled the cord). Once finished, Gin opted to sit next to Rangiku, baby in his arms. It was a boy, who already had a tuft of white hair on his head.
Gin had swaddled him in one of his ShihakushÅ, only his head coming out. The baby snoozed quitley, not seeming bothered by his father or mother.
"You're cute," Gin said aloud to the infant. Said baby didn't even stir.
"I know you're asleep, but I just want you to know that it's okay." Gin explained to the baby, "The world must seem big now, but I assure you; it's worth it. Even if, sometimes, it seems like it's not, it is. You'll get to do and see things you never thought possible, and can't even comprehend. But I'll help you enjoy it to the best of my abilities."
"Sometimes," Gin's voice grew softer "You won't enjoy it. You'll be sad, and the world will seem so horribly written and maimed... But please remember, that even when you're upset, I'll feel even worse. Because your my responsibility, even when I'll be old and wrinkly, and you'll be most likely married with your own..."
Gin seemed to stop, thinking for a minute. But the baby regained conciousness, looking at his father with not-so-open eyes and blinking.
"Hmph, look at me. You'r an hour old and I'm already afraid you'll be unhappy..."
Gin slowly opened his eyes and gave his son a small chuckle.
"Now," He grinned.
"I don' wanna keep calling you 'The Baby'; so how about I just call you... Shiro-chan. Until Mommy wakes up?"
"B...buah," The baby gurgled.
"Well, then... Welcome to the family, Shiro-chan!"
First Chapter of the newer, and hopefully better version of "Welcome To The Family Shiro Chan!".
Above all, I think it went very well. I'd really like to hear your opinions on it. Any suggestions and ideas would be grately appreciated. But..
PLEASE don't tell me I need to correct my spelling. It's not likely to happen.
So... Like it? Dislike it? Give your opinion and tell me why. And feel free to rant. I honestly prefer longer reviews, be them upset or happy.
Ciao!
