I was planning to write this in a while after I'd finished some others but I just couldn't wait! Anyway the first chapter may be confusing but when the next one appears it'll all become clearer. Anyway on with the story!

Darkness...
Silence...
Misery.
This was all that surrounded her as the girl lay curled up in a ball naked crying till she had no more tears to cry. Her breathing was raspy and her eyes glassy, she lay in total darkness.
However... this darkness wasn't the kind found upon earth, it was the type that brought out all your worst fears and trapped you with an invisible binding rope making it impossible for any living thing to escape.
Around the girl were pools of blood mixed with tears, her body was covered in cuts and bruises from old to most recent.
She wished for the pain to go away, she wished for it to disappear. But no... it merely grew more each day, not that she could tell when a day had passed as nothing could be identified through the darkness.
There was only one person who could make the everlasting pain fade and they were nowhere in sight. But the girl still had one thing that kept her hanging onto her tiny amount of existence and from ending her life.
Hope.
That and one word that no one else besides her could ever understand how important it was. One word only, just one...
Kisshu.

Ichigo stood on the pavement as the rain came pouring down from the heavens and landing upon her.
She ignored the rain soaking her clothes and hair, by now her skirt stuck to her legs and her shirt was almost see through as it clung to her skin, her hair was in it's usual pigtails however from the never-ending rain it was more lower down and the many strands of strawberry coloured locks fixed themselves to her shoulders and back of her neck.
Where is he?
She lifted her head up trying to not appear sad and let out a deep breathe as she stood up straight hanging onto the bag in front of her with both hands.
Where?
As a car drove past it sent water droplets showering Ichigo's feet and legs, she sighed and looked to her side for any trace.
Why?
Suddenly her eyes fixated on a black figure in the distance running through the rain, her hands clenched tightly on the handle of her bag and her heart raced wildly in her chest.
Please...
Her eyes widened and she turned so she was facing the figure who was coming ever closer through the downpour.
...let it be him.
As the figure finally got within a few metres she spotted the raven hair, the chocolate eyes and the expression on the face.
"Masaya." she whispered faintly.
Masaya stopped in front of her trying to regain his breathe, "Ichigo..."
Ichigo stood silent as Masaya addressed her, her lips were now almost blue from the freezing temperature however she continued to ignore it and merely kept her eyes focused upon the boy stood before her.
After what seemed to Ichigo like a silence of infinity Masaya finally spoke, as his eyes locked with her's and her reflection shone in them he spoke the few words she had longed to hear...
"Ichigo I lo—"

Ichigo walked along the pavement, the rain was still falling and yet she was still unaffected by it. She held her head high and gripped her bag in her left hand as she walked on.
As she walked through the park she suddenly heard an echo on her footsteps as if for every two steps she took, someone else took another step suggesting someone larger was following her.
Uneasiness settled over her as she continued to walk and yet everytime she looked behind her there was nothing.
Nothing.
The word seemed to haunt Ichigo as if something was missing, but what? What could possible be missing.
Suddenly the echoing footsteps ceased which caused her to become even more unsettled, she froze on the park path and stood waiting for something to happen.
When it finally did it was not something she expected, on the back of her neck she felt a hot breathe breathing down on her suggesting someone was behind her. A haunting chill swept over her entire body and upon her neck goosebumps appeared.
She stood still for a moment before daring to turn her head to the right, her eyes widened upon seeing no one there at all.
She gulped in fear and turned her head so she was facing forward only for her to be struck by terror, a tall dark figure stood a few feet in front of her. She seemed to be paralyzed with fear; two blood red ruby like eyes taunted her and a pair of dagger like fangs revealed themselves. Her breathing suddenly became unsteady and she felt her eyes widening to their limit. The figure smirked showing more of their fangs before leaping forward and bringing darkness.

Ichigo sat up and was instantly swept with dizziness; she put a hand to her forehead and winced in pain. What had happened?
She tried to recall on what had happened but was only met by a blank space in her mind which unsettled her.
Turning her head she found herself on a park path in the middle of the night, lifting her head so she was gazing into the sky she was met by a thousand diamonds in the night glimmering.
She sat there for an unknown amount of time staring in awe at the stars until she was finally met with realisation. Standing up she swept herself down and tried to recall where she was.
Dad will kill me.
Looking around she began walking at a quick pace only to sense something, although her mind was hazy she knew what to do this time.
Turning around she glared at the figure stood before her however her eyes softened upon realising it was a small girl.
Taking a few steps forward she crouched down so she was level with her, the girl appeared to be wearing a white summer dress along with a straw hat. Her blue shimmering hair came down to her waist and her fringe covered her eyes for the moment.
"Hello?" Ichigo asked sweetly trying not to frighten her.
The girl looked up slightly however her hair remained covering her eyes.
Ichigo was full of questions as to why such a young girl was walking by herself at night, then again... was it night? It could be early morning as she was still unaware herself.
Shaking the thoughts she focused on the task at hand and asked, "What's your name?"
This time the girl looked up fully showing two amber eyes which seemed to bring back memories of a green haired alien. On her forehead was a Japanese symbol for the word 'water' in blue lettering similar to her hair colour.
A sudden breeze flew by knocking the girl's straw hat from her head and onto the floor, her blue hair blew slightly before settling and revealing two elf-like ears.
Ichigo's eyes widened and she stood up taking a step back, "You're..."
The girl stared at Ichigo, her golden eyes burning into her very soul, "Hello" she greeted in an icy tone that seemed to freeze Ichigo on the very spot. It seemed to be full of hatred and any other vile emotion Ichigo could ever think of.
"Momomiya Ichigo you shall come with me." she added.
"Huh?" Ichigo murmurred, before she knew what had happened the girl had leapt forward with incredible speed and had a secure grip on her wrist. Within an instant she found the scenery around her disappear and replaced with a room where it was so dim, it strained the eye to look at it.
Suddenly Ichigo sensed movement, looking in front of her she saw the young girl making Ichigo realise the girl still had a grip on her wrist.
"Who are you?" she asked.
The girl stared back at her, "I'm sorry." she replied, unlike last time her voice was not full of hatred but sadness instead. Almost pitiful.
Ichigo tried to make sense of what she meant but was soon interrupted in her thoughts by a hit around her head knocking her unconscious immediately

The girl stared down sadly at the human lying motionless on the ground, looking back up at the taller figure who had been stood behind Ichigo she said, "Kaji, take the human to the room where the others are."
The figure nodded, "Hai Mizu." he replied in a firm tone, his hair was a blend of red and orange mixed in fierce tones and his eyes were the same golden colour as the girl's.
His clothes consisted of a pair of black pants with some boots to match, his shirt was similar to that of Kisshu's except it was red and had no sleeves revealing his muscular arms. He had the same two elf ears and two red bands were on his wrists and on his forehead was the Japanese symbol for 'fire' in a violent colour of red and orange. He appeared around nineteen if not older and quite muscular.
Bending down he picked Ichigo up bridal style and stared at her face, "I still can't understand how Kisshu fell for such a simple being."
Mizu bowed her head, "Even so we must respect his decisions and the girl, now take her."
Kaji nodded, "Very well."
Within an instant he teleported away leaving the girl called Mizu to stand in the dim room alone. Standing still she stared at the floor a few feet ahead of her for a while before sadly teleporting aswell.
--
Kaji appeared in an even darker room, waiting for his eyes to adjust he then found himself in a large room with a single bed and a few pieces of furniture in it. Floating over the bed he gently rested Ichigo on the bed and then teleported away.

Okay I know it may be a bit boring at first but I intend it to get better as it goes on. I think this is the most... mature... chapter I've ever written as reading through it I couldn't believe it was me who wrote it lol!
Translations:
Hai – Yeah
Kaji – Fire
Mizu – Water
And for those of you who haven't figured it out yet, the two OC's of mine were named after the word on their foreheads. I think those of you who are smart enough will know what other character's are coming in and what they'll be called but let's just keep that a secret from the others shall we? Bye.
