DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
Ichigo sat in class quietly gazing out the window. It was a nice day outside. The open window allowed for a gentle breeze to float in through the open window. His rough orange hair gently swaying in the early august air.
Ichigo fantasized about being outside playing some basketball with Chad. Ichigo sighed and faced forward no need to fantasize about things that wouldn't happen. After school he had to go out on patrol for a few hours and by then it'd be to dark for that.
Even worse was that he was on patrol with Rukia that day and lately to say the least things between them had been strenuous. Just then the end of the day bell rank out with a shrill cry singinalling the end of the long day.
"Rise, bow," said the class rep sternly.
Ichigo sat at his desk gathering up his belonging when Rukia came over to him.
"Ichigo Urahara said he needed to speak to you after school," said Rukia crisply.
"Huh, what for?" said Ichigo looking up at Rukia.
"I don't know idiot, he just told me to tell you he need to give to you and talk to you."
Ichigo sighed "whatever."
There was pregnant pause. Rukia and his relationship had been different ever since Ichigo had walked in on a half naked Rukia and Renji kissing intently. Ichigo had nursed feelings for her quite a while now and had decided to try to bring their relationship up to the next level but, she was with Renji a shimagami exactly like herself. Where as he was a human with soul reaper powers. He'd age and she'd be forced to watch as he age and slowly died, where as Renji wouldn't age he'd always be there now, and for the rest of eternity. It was Rukia who spoke up first.
"Listen Ichigo about what you saw..."
"No, no , it's my bad for not knocking sorry, anyways I've got to get going to Urahara Knowing him he'll through a fit if I'm any later.
"Yea you're probably right."
Ichigo stood up and left the class. Rukia soon sat down at Ichigo's desk and hit her head against his desk silent tears running down her cheek, " he wasn't suppose to find out like that damn-it," she said out loud to the empty room at large.
…
Ichigo arrived at Urahara's shop 15 minutes later and as Ichigo had predicted he was throwing a fit.
"Your so late!" said Urahara pretending to cry "am I so unimportant that you couldn't use your flash step?"
"Shut up and give me what ever you called me over here for," said Ichigo kicking him
Fine wwwwwhat ever you say party pooper," said Urahara.
He handed Ichigo a small square pill dispenser. Ichigo opened it to reveal a five small white tablets.
"What are these?"
"Presenting to totally new and innovative hollow pills," said Urahara dramatically.
"Ok so what do they do?"
" They allow you to go to your inner world and talk to your hollow."
"Why would I want to talk to him?"
"well just an observation but you may want to check on the stability of your inner world after all you did suffer a huge mental blow when you walked in on Rukia and Renji."
Ichigo blushed red.
"How did you know?"
" I have my ways," said Urahara covering his mouth with his fan.
"Whatever," said Ichigo pocketing the pills and turning to leave.
" Oh and don't take too much or you'll hollow could take control for a while,"Said Urahara.
" what eve," said Ichigo not really paying attention
