Child of the Wind

by SennoTsubasa

Ever since his mother had died, Ichigo has heard the wind whispering to him with a siren's call. He's always refused because his sisters have to taken care of properly. And so he spends his days ignoring the wind swirling around his legs. But one day he listens, and there's nothing but silence at home, so he packs his bag, and finally sets off into the world.

"Wahhhhh!" a large gust of wind blows in as Ichigo cries.

"Awww, is my little Ichi-chan hungry?" a beautiful woman with shockingly orange hair cooed.

"Gah!"

"Yes, I'm your Kaa-chan, Ichi-chan!"

Ichigo smiles at her as he babbles.

"…Awwwww!" Masaki squeals "You're adorable!" she huffs a breath before turning to the table. "Now, do you want apple, or peach?" holding up two bowls of food.

"Ah!" Ichigo cried, eyes sparkling as he tries to reach for the bowl of bright orange puree.

Masaki giggles as she sets the apple down and reaches for a spoon. "No need to be impatient, Ichi. You'll get your food. Now, say ahhh." As she spoons a tiny mouthful of food into Ichigo's mouth.

"Mmm!"

"Does my little wittle Ichi-chan want more?"

"Peh!"

Masaki feeds another spoonful to Ichigo.

"Ah~," Ichigo smiles happily.

Masaki squeals as she grabs Ichigo and sparkles.

"Aren't you the cutest thing ever? Aren't you? Aren't you? Are-n't youuu? Mwahh!" kissing him on the nose, she spins with Ichigo in the air.

Ichigo giggles happily; prompting more squeals from Masaki.

"Kaa!" Ichigo pats her face and giggles.

Masaki stares at him for a moment, stunned, before bursting into more laughter and kisses him some more. Masaki rests her forehead on his,

"I love you Ichi-chan," she sighs, "I love you."

-【3】-

"K-K-K-KAAA-CHAN!" Ichigo is wailing, as he runs as fast as he can towards his mother.

"Ichi?" Masaki's eyes widened as Ichigo practically tackles her legs in fear.

"Ichi." Masaki repeated, "What's wrong?"

"KA-CHAN! SCAWY PEOLE ISH WIRD RWE WATA THINY AN-AN-AN…"

"Woah, Ichi" Masaki laughs "slow down there, darling. What's going on?"

"We're sorry," a pair of bleeding twins hung their heads dejectedly as they floated towards Ichigo. "It's just there's no one to play with now and we're-"

"-Just-" a girl dressed in a expensive, blood splattered stormy gray kimono with a large silvery blue moon design with clouds on the back raised her head.

"-Kinda-" a boy, in a gray tinted white and black hakama with a sunset depicted in pale oranges, and faint pinks and purples raised his head.

"-Lonely." They finished together.

"-Sorry again-"

"-We'll-"

"-Be-"

"-Going now." they finished as they start to float away.

"W-wai!" Ichigo cried, suddenly unsticking himself from Masakis' skirt, adult forgotten. "I'm sawy for be-wing a nas-y? Meany. ...Um, stay?"

The twins suddenly looked hopeful. "Really?"

"You want to-"

"-Come-"

"-With us?" they chorused, eyes suddenly shining

Ichigo stared, slightly apprehensive.

"Wait,"

"-Does that-"

"-Mean-"

"-You're-"

"-Our friend?"

"Y-y-yesh?" Ichigo squeaked

"YEAH!" they grabbed Ichigo's hand and started spinning in a circle.

"Oh." they paused, letting go of Ichigo.

"We forgot to-"

"-Introduce ourselves."

"I am Tsukiko, call me Tsuki" the girl curtsied.

"And I, am Haruko, call me Haru," The boy bowed

"Me is I-chi-go." He smiled at the two

"Now this boring stuff is over,"

"-C'mon,-"

"-Let's-"

"-Go play!" they cried as they dragged him down the street.

Masaki stared, before shaking her head and giggling.

"Have fun Ichi! And remember to come home before five!" she called

"Un!"

-【5】-

Ichigo is nervous. Like, really, really nervous.

"Ichi-chan, are you excited?" Masaki asks, smiling kindly down at him.

Ichigo doesn't respond, only getting paler.

Masaki giggles. "Ichi-chan, no need to get so nervous, it's just the first day of school."

Ichigo just stares at his mother disbelievingly as if she has just grown two heads.

"Just the first day of school," he echoes. "Right. Just the first day of school with other children who aren't floating. And dead. And bleeding. And-"

"Okay, okay, I get it Ichi, no need to be mean. But really Ichi," she kneels down and takes his hand. "You're a sweet and kind boy. They'll love you and if anyone bothers you just call Kaa-chan and she'll take care of it for you, or," she glances around before whispering into his ear "If they're really big meanies, call Tou-chan."

"I don't think you have to do that, Kaa-chan, really. I want to make friends, not shoo them away." he said, slowly backing away from Masaki and her suddenly evil aura that tells of mad scientist-esque plans and sounds strangely of evil witch cackles. He shivers. "Kaa-chan, I think you made the people run away."

"Oh?" she exclaims, surprised, "Oh well," she shrugs, leading her precious Ichi-chan to the front door."Have fun Ichi! And don't forget Tou-san! See you later!"

~5~

"Okay, class!" the kindergarten teacher clapped her hands, her bright voice stopping all the children currently making a mess in the room.

"Gather around!" she said, gesturing to the rainbow colored rug in the center of the room. "Okay! It's time for introductions! I'll go first. My name is Nakahara Hatsuye , you can call me Nakahara-sensei, but if it's too hard, just call me Naka-sensei and i like cake." passing the ball she had literally produced out of nowhere, she tossed it to a girl.

" Uh... I is Minamori Chiyako. I like apple." a pale girl with braids fidgeted.

Twelve children later it's Ichigo's turn.

"Uh, I-I am Kurosaki Ichigo, and I like my Kaa-chan" Ichigo timidly stared down at his shoes. "Thank you."

~5~

"Alright class! It's time for lunch so you can now go outside to eat and play! But make sure to stay on the playground kiddies!" Nakahara-sensei clapped her hands cheerfully.

Just behind the crowd of stampeding student, Ichigo spotted an old ghost in traditional hakama leaning on a gnarled, old walking stick.

"O ho ho." he chuckled, "Youngsters these days."

"Ano, who are you, Oji-san?"

"Ara? you can see me?" he asked, cracking a brown eye open. "Well, curious indeed, it has been a while since i saw one of your kind..."

"What do you mean, Oji-san" Ichgo tilted his head, tugging on his montsuki haori only to back away as he started rambling about the history school and how it had been oh-so-long since he has seen an omnyouji potential, and why, the last time was when he was a youngster who had just opened up the school, and...

Walking away, Ichigo rounded the corner, not seeing the three boys that were peeking out.

"Watch where you go." a high voice snarled

"Yeah, you're so clumsy" a thin, reedy voice piped up.

"U-huh" another voice agreed.

Ichigo stood up and brushed himself off and looked up to see three black-haired boys.

"I'm sorry." Ichigo murmered and started to walk off.

"Well, well,well," Main bully flashed a smirk at his cronies "If it isn't mama's boy. What are you gonna do? Tattle tale to mama?"

"I'm not." Ichigo glared at him.

"But how would we, know." Main bully motioned his cronies to surround him. "And besides, we should have a chat, crazy."

Ichigo glared mutinously at the ground, "Why should i talk with you? You're just a big meanie."

"Says the crazy. What? Thought nobody was looking when you talked with your fake friend?" Min bully smirked as Crony one and Crony two nodded from around Ichigo. "What if I tell your mama? She'll say you are crazy too." nodding his head imperiously.

"Yeah, crazy, you'll be so crazy not even your mama would want you" Crony one mocked

"Yeah! And you're maybe stupid too! I mean what not-dumb person would talk to air." Crony two crowed.

"I'm not crazy! And Mama will still love me so SHUT UP!" Ichigo cried as the winds picked up in crescendo.

" A-Aito, I think there's something wrong... Aito!" Crony one was panicking

"Shut up, Kaizu. You're just being a sissy. And you are crazy, and you know what they do with crazy people? Do ya? They put them in a crazies prison" the newly named Aito continued.

"R-Really Aito l-lets just stop! I'm getting scared!" Crony two shrieked.

"Not you too, Hiku, there won't be... anything... wrong?" Aito squawked as the winds picked up even more.

"What are you doing! Stop it F-FREAK!" Aito yelled, without any self- preservation.

Ichigo didn't say anything, all he did was stand there glassy-eyed. The last thing the bullies saw or felt was a burst of wind slamming into their stomachs and the sight of Ichigo would terrify them for years to come.

~5~

Ichigo instantly became the outcast, the pariah of the school, and would be without any friends untill his mother signed him up for karate classes with Arisawa Tatsuki who instantly beat up his new bullies and strong armed her way into being his friend.

Masaki marries Isshin, right? And I feel like at least some of his "Tendencies" get transferred over to Masaki.

And, I think if they have a happy personality, in the Kurosaki family, they have the ability to sparkle. I mean even thought I can't seem to remember Isshin sparkling, or Masaki, but they feel like they should sparkles and if you search up Yuzu sparkle bleach, you see her sparkle.

Until Masaki dies, (that would be age 7) if you haven't read child of the wind oneshots) its mainly going to be fluff. …what? I like fluff? Anyways, baby talk is challenging. (Woo, you learn something new every day) I'm like is it blah? Or is it ah? Or bah? And I hope I didn't make 3 year old Ichigo too smart, the writing errors are intentional, they're children for gods sake and that means bad grammer and stupid insults and random bursts of emotions, heck when i was 7 i bust my recorder hitting my brother over the head beacuse he ate my yogurt... totally

Thanks! Now bye.

P.S. the writing style is going to change alot (i think). and when i say alot, i mean alot. so yeah, just a warning

P.P.S. would you mind terribly if i asked for a review? i kinda feel bad but the no reviews is literally making me depressed as hell. i mean, i've been skulking in the corner all day and my brother says any more and i'll be growing mushrooms (thumbs up if you get the anime reference!)and taking anti depressants
