Alright moving on. Read, review & enjoy.
Chapter 1
It's pretty lonely without Karin, Yuzu and goat-face around, thought Ichigo as he sat on the sofa flipping through T.V. channels. Ichigo was a 17 year old boy with bright orange, unruly hair and beautiful amber eyes. His figure was lithe and slender, with beautiful unmarred sun-kissed skin. Well nothing can be done, they are away for 6 month. In fact I should be happy, I have the whole house to myself for 6 whole months, Ichigo thought but couldn't cheer himself up.
Maybe I should practice my violin, Ichigo fingered his violin which was beside him on the sofa. Or maybe not, he thought sullenly.
Ichigo was a violin prodigy. Ever since he was little he had a talent for music so his father got him a tutor to teach him music. Ichigo learned to play the violin quickly. And even though violin is a hard instrument to play Ichigo mastered it just as easily as breathing. Everyone in his school admired how well Ichigo could play violin even at such young age. His whole life was set for him, after high school he would go to a music school and then become a professional violinist.
But something changed. I can't find my inspiration anymore. I don't like playing violin now, Ichigo thought. Although he was sad but he couldn't find will to play his violin anymore. Maybe because my life is way too monotonous. It's like all the colors have been stripped away from my life and all that is left is black and white.
Ichigo shook the depressing thoughts away as he turned off the T.V. and went to kitchen to make some dinner. He looked towards the clock to see 8.00 o'clock written in bold red letters. It's already 8. I should hurry or else I won't have time for homework, Ichigo thought as he started preparing his dinner.
x—x—x
After dinner and homework Ichigo went to his bed. Already fast asleep, Ichigo could not sense any movements around his house at all. A loud noise woke him up from his sleep. Ichigo woke up startled and quickly grabbed his baseball bat as he ran towards the source of the noise. He ended up in his backyard and saw a figure dressed in black standing over what appeared to be a giant centipede. The figure looked at him and Ichigo's breath caught in his throat.
There standing in front of him was the most amazing guy Ichigo had ever seen. His skin was pale white and his hair were silver, which illuminated in moon light. He wore a black pant and a black button up shirt, the sleeves of which were rolled up to his elbow. Few buttons near his collar were undone showing off his well-toned chest. He had a black, very thin sword held up right above the neck of the monster. His lips were contoured in an angry snarl.
But what made Ichigo stop in his tracks were the stranger's eyes. It would be an understatement to say his eyes were mesmerizing. His iris were golden more like molten gold itself, surrounded by raven black sclera. His eyes radiated anger and hate yet all Ichigo could see was strong passion behind it. One glance from those sinful eyes made Ichigo's knees quiver.
Ichigo's heart skipped a few beats as the stranger leaped towards him. "What are you doing! Get the hell away from here you fool!" his harsh words broke Ichigo's trance and Ichigo noticed that the stranger had a chilly echo to his voice. Ichigo clutched his bat tightly.
Ichigo saw the giant centipede crawl towards the stranger who was close to him. What the hell's going on over here? Ichigo thought. Is this even real or am I dreaming? Was that a monster? And was that boy trying to kill the monster with his sword? Many questions ran through Ichigo mind. But whatever it is the boy cannot kill it alone. I have to help him.
"Hey you! What the hell is going on?" Ichigo asked stepping towards the boy.
The said boy snarled at him, "Don't you understand! Get away from here before you get yourself killed!"
The centipede took the advantage of our distraction and quickly crawled towards the stranger. The boy quickly leapt high in air and sliced one of the centipede's legs. Well he is good at this I guess, Ichigo thought. Perhaps he really doesn't need my help, maybe I am getting in the way.
Ichigo watched for few seconds to see if the boy would be alright and then he went inside his house and closed the door behind him. Is all this really happening? Is all this real? He thought to himself, but try as he may he couldn't believe any of this. Up until now Ichigo didn't believe in monsters whatsoever. He always thought they were fiction, never in his life he would have imagined monsters to be real.
Ichigo was lost deep in thought and he failed to notice blood red eyes looking at him from the window. The eyes held nothing but bloodlust in them as the thing slowly crawled inside the room Ichigo was in, through the window.
Ichigo noticed too late as a tentacle grabbed his foot and pulled him towards itself. Ichigo was startled and scared as he let out a loud scream, "Ahhhhhhh!"
The next events must have happened in few seconds but Ichigo could see each and every detail clearly like everything was in slow motion. The pale stranger from earlier was in the room and he cut the tentacle which was curled around Ichigo's leg. He gently pushed Ichigo behind him and stabbed the monster with his sword. But another tentacle shot passed the stranger towards Ichigo; Ichigo quickly took few steps back and fell on the ground. The stranger sliced the tentacle again. But it was just a decoy as another tentacle raced towards Ichigo. With his sword still etched in other tentacle, the stranger leapt in front of Ichigo.
Ichigo saw horrified the stranger tried to block the tentacle using himself as a shield, but the tentacle pierced through his right shoulder and made a hole in it. The tentacle continued racing towards Ichigo through the stranger's pierced shoulder and Ichigo brought his right hand up to cover his face out of instinct and closed his eyes ready to take the impact.
The tentacle shot through Ichigo's arm and stopped right before his eye. Ichigo stared wide-eyed, scared even to blink. The hole in his hand made by the tentacle was forgotten due to threat of fast approaching death.
"Don't you dare harm him," the stranger said in his chilling voice. Ichigo slowly gulped and pulled himself back. He blinked slowly the pain in his hand now very noticeable. He made a pained sound as the tentacle was pulled from his hand as well as from the stranger's shoulder.
After that the stranger killed the monster with a single swing of his sword and fainted. Ichigo sat there for few moments still in shock of what had happened in just a few seconds. The pain in his hand broke his trance and he winced as he got up with quivering legs. He took a shaky step towards the boy who was on the floor and thought, He must be in lot more pain then I am.
Ichigo switched to his 'doctor mode' and tried to lift the boy but his own injury and the weight of the boy prevented him from doing so and instead he dragged the boy towards his bathroom. He removed the boy's shirt and started washing the wound with cold water. In his pain-hazed state, Ichigo wrapped the stranger's shoulder with bandages and then nursed his own wound. He dragged the boy towards his room and somehow managed to lay him on his bed. He pulled the covers on the stranger's form and walked towards the body of the monster lying on the floor in other room.
Ichigo removed the sword from the monster's body and tossed it aside. He tied a rope around the monster and dragged him from his room; too afraid to touch it. He reached in his backyard and saw the giant centipede lying in the middle of its own blood.
Gods what am I supposed to do with these bodies, Ichigo thought miserably. Just as he was about to drag the body towards the forest, both the bodies started to disintegrate slowly. The bodies become dust slowly until there was nothing left of them but ashes. The dust blew away with the wind leaving no evidence of anything that happened during the night.
But it wasn't a dream. Because the stranger sleeping in my room is very real, Ichigo thought walking back towards his house.

The next morning Ichigo woke up due to severe headache and pain in his hand. He opened his eyes and blinked few times to realize that he wasn't in his bedroom. What am I doing on the sofa? He thought for a moment. Did I watch a movie and fell asleep on the sofa? He thought until he remembered the events of last night. Oh yes that's right monsters in the backyard and the mysterious boy in my bed.
But is that really the truth? How can you be sure that your mind is not playing tricks on you Ichigo? Or maybe it was a movie and I ended up having a nightmare. Ichigo continued to think of any possible explanation to rationalize the situation. Because no matter what happened Ichigo refused to believe in monsters or supernatural beings.
Ichigo got up from the sofa and walked towards his bedroom. He had to make sure the boy was really sleeping and it was not him going insane. He walked in the bedroom to see the boy sleeping in same position as Ichigo had left him last night. Ichigo continued to look at him with events of last night displaying before his eyes. He really did save my life, Ichigo thought.
Ichigo tore open the bandages on his hand and saw the gaping hole in his palm. He winced and the pain made him even more aware of how real the events that occurred were. Everything is real. The boy is real, the pain in my hand is real so that means the monsters are real too.
Ichigo re-wrapped his bandages carefully and was about to leave the room when his eyes landed on, a thin black sword that he carelessly tossed aside yesterday night. He picked it up and looked at it carefully. It was well kept; it must be important to him, Ichigo thought and carefully carried the sword with him to the bathroom and cleaned it thoroughly. He placed the sword on the table beside his bed and walked out of the room.
He entered the kitchen to make some breakfast. It's already past my school lunch time. No use going now, might as well take a day off and rest, Ichigo thought as he brewed some coffee.
Ichigo ate his breakfast quietly all the while thinking about the pale albino in his bed. I wonder when he would awaken. But that's not possible, after a wound like that he would most probably knocked out for days, Ichigo thought. Maybe I should change his bandages.
Ichigo entered his bedroom again, with a fresh set of bandages, towels and medicines in his hand. It is a good thing that goat-face is a doctor or else all these things won't be so readily available, Ichigo thought as he walked towards the bed and started removing the stale bandages.
Maybe I should have taken him to hospital instead, Ichigo thought. But that wouldn't help the situation at all. How can I explain the wound in his shoulder? Undoubtedly the cops would be involved and things would get only worse.
But I am not a doctor, Ichigo thought sadly. Alright if his wounds become infected or he doesn't show any signs of getting better I will take him to hospital, the explanations be damned. His life is more important.
With that decision made Ichigo quickly redressed the wound and left the stranger alone and went in kitchen to prepare lunch. The rest of the day Ichigo spend flipping through the T.V. channels and taking naps several times due to fatigue, all the while his thoughts concentrated on the golden eyed stranger.
