Sooo..New story; only spawned here because of my lack of typing. I wanted to type SOMETHING and I did. This story. Not a crossover this time..Though I would find it interesting to type...Hellsing x Bleach ; Death Note x Bleach ; Fullmetal Alchemist x Bleach...I think that's it. But that's for another day. All seem to clash with each other..xDD I can so imagine Shiro as Alucard from Hellsing..xDDDD Plus I have a craving to type a Light / Raito x Ichigo story...o-O! Still..That's for another day. So..I'm typing this story..with hardly ANY ideas, so I'm rolling with it.

Lets get started..8D!

Ichigo's Point of View

It was night time and he was just getting ready for bed. He sat on his bed; doing so made his bed squeaking at his weight. He slipped under the cozy covers and rolled onto his side. His eye lids slipping shut, releasing a content sigh as sleep took over him soon after.

Inner World

His eye lids opened to find he was in his inner world. Blue sky with sideways building and those messed up clouds. He sat up and looked to his left and right; blinking in confusion.

"Hey aibou," a watery voice said from behind him. That could be only one per-...thing..His hollow. The one thing he resented. "What? Not happy ta see me aibou?" the hollow giggled.

"When am I ever happy to see you hollow?" Ichigo asked with a snarl. He got up and whipped around; instinctively in a defensive position.

"Aww..Tha' hurt," the hollow says, placing a hand to his 'heart' in mocking pain. Ichigo frowned deeply, his eyes narrowing.

"Why did you bring me here..to fight or something?" Ichigo asks.

"Nah..I brought yeh here ta congratulat' yeh on a job well done on not gettin' yerself killed yet!" the hollow paused for a moment. "But...If yeh feel like fightin' I'd b-..."

"NO! I'm good," Ichigo cut him off, his defensive stance faltering ever-so-slightly. His glare was the second to falter 'ever-so-slightly' into that of confusion. "Wait..When have you ever been 'nice' enough to admit something like that?" The hollow shrugged and grinned widely.

Awkward Pause. Oh how he hated those.

But a thought soon came to mind. "Hey..You said you didn't have a name before...right?" Soon that grin turned upside down into a rather large frown.

"Ya..so what of it?" the hollow asks bitterly.

Pause.

"Would you like one?" Ichigo asks shifting his gaze to the side; in slight embarrassment.

"Yeh actually willing ta give me one aibou?" There was a small silence. Then a mumble of a 'yes' was said finally. "Then go righ' ahead..As long as it ain't retarded or anythin' " Shiro states with his normal wide, insane grin. Ichigo grumbled slightly at the 'retarded' comment and started pondering on a name. 'Shiro' came to mind..As well as a part of his last name...'saki'..And he guessed his first name with a twist; since his hollow was the other half of him...After all.

"How about...Shirosaki Ogichi?..But this is only if you stop calling me 'aibou'." Ichigo grumbled in irritation. The hollow now known as Shirosaki Ogichi aka Shiro grinned widely at his acceptable name.

"Now what do I call yeh? King, hmmm?" Shirosaki giggled. Ichigo growled lowly in his throat.

"NO!" he shouted, shaking a fist at Shirosaki.

"Then what?"

"Ichigo, just Ichigo." he says sighing heavily. Shirosaki blinked; for once having one of those confused 'cute' moments. But composed quickly by smiling a true smile.

"Why thank yeh Ichigo," Shirosaki says. Ichigo blinked; on the inside he was gawking at that smile, on the outside he just stared at Shirosaki in silence. In turn making Shirosaki curious as to why Ichigo was staring.

Shirosaki's Point of View

An idea formed in Shirosaki's mind. "Ichigo..Did yeh know Shorty Kuchiki and Big Boobs Girl like yeh?" Shirosaki asks or more like states; as if it was nothing important. Ichigo snapped out of it and blinked.

"Well..sure they like me...?" Ichigo says; unable to comprehend the actual meaning of Shirosaki's words. Shirosaki almost thought to smack himself on the forehead in annoyance, but refrained himself from doing so.

"Nah...They jus' wanna get into yeh pants?" Shirosaki responds sarcastically. And then the meaning dawned onto Ichigo; his eyes wide with pure terror; not to mention a beet red face.

"WHAT?! How do you know that?!" Ichigo's arms flailing. Shirosaki raised a pale brow.

"Thought it was obvious ta yeh," Shirosaki coughed, lying. He knew Ichigo wasn't good with girl's feelings, so why not tease him about it?

Ichigo twitched in annoyance and maybe even disgust? Who knows? He sure didn't care. "I'm going to leave before you destroy what dignity I have left for...Rukia and Inoue." Ichigo pointed his index finger, blaming him for his current misery towards the two girls. He snickered in amusement.

"It's not nice ta point Ichigo," Shirosaki stated in a sing-song voice. Ichigo growled.

"I'll beat the living crap out of you later!" Ichigo threatened, soon fading into nothing.

Shirosaki snickered some more before grinning insanely towards that messed up, blue sky.

Ahh..Just made him wonder what would be in store for..

The King and His Horse's Relationship


Out of the Inner World of Ichigo...

Ichigo's Point of View

He awoke to the birds chirping and the sound of cars speeding by his home. Which just added to his sour mood. Stupid Shirosaki ruined his views on Rukia and Orihime. Now he'll feel very awkward around them. He counted this as taking a step backwards in his friendship with them. Three steps for Rukia actually.

He just..didn't feel that way about them. Only thought of them as friends and that was it. Buttt..In one point of his life he almost thought he had a crush on Rukia. But when he thought about the age difference she mention when he first met her..He found that liking her was sorta...creepy.

He shook his head and pushed those thoughts in the back of his mind and slid out from under the cover; placing his feet on the wooden floor. Standing up then fixing his bed, he wandered over to his school uniform placed neatly on his desk...

After Shower

Ichigo got dressed and went downstairs, only to be attacked by his idiotic father. Fending off the man's attack easily and leaving him to twitch on the floor like a squished bug.

"Good morning Ichi-nii!" Yuzu states cheerfully. Ichigo grasped a piece of toast that was on the table; nibbling on one of the corners.

"Mornin' " he mumbled. Karin raised a brow towards him.

"Don't talk with your mouth full," she grumbles bitterly. Ahh..Good ol' cranky Karin. He munched on the last bit of toast as he got on his shoes, deciding not to respond to Karin.

"I'm leaving." He opened the front door and waved to Yuzu and Karin.

"Bye! Have a nice day Ichi-nii!" Yuzu yelled.

At School..

He made his entrance into his homeroom, greeted by his friends as he walked in.

"Ichigooooooooooo..! My friend!" a familiar, annoying voice says, hopping on his back. He grunted and shook the male known as Keigo off. "Ichigoooo.." Keigo whined, overly dramatic tears developing in the male's eyes. "How could you be so cruel?!" Ichigo rolled his eyes.

"Hello Kurosaki-kun!" He heard from behind him. And he tensed because he knew that voice that went along with the name she gave him. He turned around and blinked. "Hey Inoue." She smiled widely. "How are you this sunny day?" she asked. "He slouched slightly. "Um..Fine, you?" he lied.

"I'm just perfectly peachy!" Orihime chirped. "Good," he said shifting his gaze to the side.

Soon the bell rang and class started.

Well, after periods one through three..Ichigo was now in his own little world by period four. Mulling over what Shirosaki said to him about...Rukia and Orihime liking him. Why would he even mention it..? Must have been to scare him or something. Yeah, that was it.

...

He couldn't have meant anything by it...Right?

And then the bell rang signaling lunch time. He stood and wandered off to his normal eating place; the roof top.

Roof Top

Ichigo plopped down infront of a wall and leaned against it. His friends all in a circle; chatting amongst themselves.

But he was lost once again in his little world of unexplainable thoughts and reasoning.

"Ichigo..?"

No respond.

"Hey Ichigo!" He snapped out of it and looked to the source of the voice..Who was Keigo. "What?" "Everyone's left already, lunch is over," Keigo stated, blinking. "Oh..." he mumbled while getting to his feet. There was a heavy sigh from Keigo. Ichigo raised a brow and gave him a questioning look.

"Ichigo..I have something to tell you..." Keigo says, almost in a whisper. Now this wasn't like Keigo. "Okay..Who are you and what have you done with Keigo?" Keigo frowned slightly.

"This is serious Ichigo..For once." There was a small pause before Keigo talked again. "Ichigo...I've been noticing things...That normal people shouldn't see..I feel like I'm going insane, plus I have a new perspective on relationships and dating.." Could Keigo be...Spiritually aware? and what did he mean by a 'new perspective'?

"What do you mean?" Ichigo asks, slightly confused.

"I mean...I think I like you Ichigo."
