Yay I wrote another IchiIshi, though this will be multi-chaptered. It's Isame Kuroda's plot so the credit goes to her. I merely did some touch-ups. So, thanks to you, my dear. :*
"Okay, class, remember that you should stay closer to your friends and other classmates when we arrived to our destination. You might get lost," the annoying voice of their homeroom teacher reached Ichigo's ears along with her stupid reminder.
"Are we fucking pre-schoolers?" the orange haired teen muttered with some few curses. He really hated educational trips. So boring, especially for their age. It wasn't just him, anyway. There were also his friends like Kojima who only kept on texting whoever that was and beside him was Asano who, well, always bored if it wasn't about girls; there was also Inoue, who was trying to be modest, just chattered with Tatsuki who managed to get seated beside her; and then on the back of the bus was Chad who was staring outside blankly- all were obviously too much dreaded because of that trip.
Ichigo might as well talk with his seat mate, though that was also another thing. Who would want to talk with an Uryuu Ishida, anyway? He was more boring to be with than the whole trip. He wanted to kill whoever planned the seating arrangement.
"I'm so-"
"Bored, Kurosaki?" Ishida interrupted suddenly.
The former raised an eyebrow. "Yeah? How did you know? You are too, no?"
The Quincy pushed up his glasses. "Well, it's always the thing you're saying. As if the only fun thing to do is slaying hollows and saving the world." He turned to the next page of his book.
Ichigo snorted. "Are you mocking me? Just only because I've lost my Shinigami powers doesn't mean I couldn't do anything other than that."
"Then tell me what are 'the other things' you're pertaining," Ishida retorted back without looking from his book.
The ex-Shinigami clenched and unclenched his fist at the mention of the lost of his powers, the thing he didn't want to hear right now and then. It was already six months, and nobody mentioned anything about the topic, fearing they might hurt their friend's feelings. Though the only one who didn't mind was his current seat mate who seemed to enjoy snapping him more and more each day. Finally, Ichigo decided to keep quiet instead. "Why should I bother myself explaining to you. It's not as if you cared, though." With that, he stuck on his headsets and settled with listening to the music with his ipod.
Ishida closed his eyes shortly. "You're wrong," he whispered to himself and then continued reading his book.
"This is the sacred Mount Asuza which believed in the early times to be the habitat of most supernatural beings we heard mostly on urban legends and myths. Though these beings were abundant, there were also humans who were trained to be hunters or priests or priestesses in order to bring their race into extinction. And as according to old stories, mortals managed to won so the monsters we know were finally gone and wouldn't be able to eat our kind anymore," the teacher told everyone.
While the teacher kept on ranting and ranting about some bluff facts and histories, there were still some who had taken down notes for studies, and others who were trying to stifle their yawns.
The whole class was standing in the clear field of a forest. Others were sitting on the ground, while the rest was looking around for something interesting, namely hot springs or a temple with a young and pretty priestess.
Knowing that there would be nothing much to do around, Ichigo decided to separate a little from the group and wander on his own in the forest. He thought that some time alone would do some help.
After passing through some giant trees and stepping over a few roots that sprouted outside the soil, the teen managed to find a perfect place to settle for a while. He sat on a freshly cut tree trunk and began meditating.
But the a few moments later, the silence was suddenly broke by a howl.
Ichigo frowned. "Probably the rustling leaves."
As he went on concentrating, his senses suddenly awaken as a fallen tree branch broke, as if somebody stepped on it. When he looked around, he saw the least thing he was expecting to see.
A wolf.
It was looking strangely at Ichigo and then sniffed the air. The wolf has black and white color for its mane and a red streak criss-crossing its body. The color of its body looked weird enough.
Ichigo wasn't an animal lover, nor having interest on them, but he knew too well that there wasn't any kind of wolf looking like that.
Though it was like that, it seemed tamed, though. Never did it bark on him or hissed. It just stand there, like waiting for Ichigo to making it come forward.
Ichigo whistled, mentioning for it to come towards him. It did what he meant and then the teen began to pet its head. "Hey, there, buddy. Are you lost? Somebody probably owns you, hmmm?" He caressed its back to the tail that made the wold trying to snuggle on his lap.
The wolf looked up on him with its odd yellow eyes with blue circles adorning its orbs. Those eyes began to focus on Ichigo's, having an eye to eye contact between them. The teen seemed to be entranced too much for a few minutes that he didn't even notice the wolf's cuspids burrying themselves on his right forearm's flesh, making it bleed profusely, staining his jeans bright red.
Ichigo blinked at the sudden pain and looked at its source. His eyes widen in horror and shock, and he quickly grabbed his bleeding forearm and hissed in pain. "Ouch, you bad-"
The weird dog suddenly disappeared.
Grrr, now he have to nurse a wound, without even scolding the animal.
"Kurosaki, what are you doing there?"
Great. Right on a bad timing.
"You're not my guardian so you don't have to know why I'm here, Ishida." Ichigo glared daggers at him.
The said man paid no heed and noticed the blood flowing freely on the other's side. "Are you bleeding?"
"This is nothing. Just a scratch from an animal."
"You're lying."
Ichigo irritatedly looked at him. "How can you even say that? Psychic?"
"Two reasons: A scratch wouldn't look as bad as that; and also, there's no animal here. Our teacher informed us."
"Wow, never thought you're listening to her shitty lectures."
Ishida resisted to roll his eyes. "Would you stop changing the topic. What I'm saying is that you have to treat that wound immediately so it won't get infected."
Ichigo walked passed him, hitting on the smaller man's left shoulder. "Why bother?"
And with that, he left Ishida alone in his recent location on the forest.
Do you like the first chapter? Please, tell me what you think. I'll gladly accept it no matter how bad it is. :)
