Ichigo's home videos

Chapter one: June 17th

"Ichigo wake up"! A very annoyed Rukia screamed in his ear while he was still asleep.

"I'm up I'm up" he said in a morning voice while he was sitting on his bed, scorching his neck and yawning . He then noticed Rukia was the only one in his room. There had been no good morning dad attack. He then stood up and looked around the room. When he saw no sign of his dad he yawned then he starting to speak.

"Where my dad Rukia"? She gives him a sad look that is very rare, and worries Ichigo. "What"! Ichigo says confused as to why she looked at him like that.

"Ichigo he's getting ready for tomorrows visit to your mother's grave ever year it's June 16th today". Don't you remember? She says softly.

"Right no I forgot what with everything going on." He faked a laugh, which she knew was fake. Then he says. "Okay now that I know why my dad didn't come to wake me up. Leave so I can get ready for school Midget". He knows that kick in the back of the head is from Rukia for calling her a midget, and shake's he's head when she screams.

"Don't call me that!" while walking out the door. "See you down stairs." She whispers to quietly, that no one but her could hear what she said.

His rub his head where she kicked him then starts gets dressed in his school uniform. He looks at the calendar and frowns. He knows he wasn't the one that killed her. But he couldn't help but still blame himself for her death, because he couldn't stop the hollow that day.

He remembers last year when he met Rukia that night and he became a soul reaper. Then he found what really happen that day of his mother death. How a hollow had killed her, but the hollow was intending to go after him. But then she got in the way. "Why mom"? He whispers to himself, wondering why she had to die.

After getting dressed he met Rukia down stairs so they could walk to school together even though they both knew there would be no talking or screaming on today's walk to school like normally.

As they walk to school when they are just two blocks away from the school, they are joined by Renji. But Ichigo does not take noticed of him, and just keeps walking Renji was about to make a smart ass comment when he felt a kick in his back. He's head snaps to who kick him from behind. So he turns to Rukia and said "What the hell"! He says to Rukia. She just shakes her head sadly and Renji knows something off. When he looks to the front where Ichigo was a minute ago but then he notice's Ichigo is no longer in front of them. "What the hell Rukia, what is wrought with him"?

"He just depressed" she whispers in that sad voice again. "Well then like beat him so he's back to himself again, like you did last time". The redhead soul reaper said with a wicked smile and glint in his eyes.

"No Renji this is not the time for that it won't change anything I know. He does it every year". She stop in front of the building 'just act the same please but do it without the smart ass comments of your or else I beat you got it". She started out in a caring normal way but ending in a warning type of voice that means do what I say or else you die type of voice." Okay I'll try". He said a little scared of her voice and worry for his friend.

When they walk in Renji see's Ichigo sitting and staring out the window, with a sad express he never wears. "Weird I wonder what going on this time". He says to himself.

Then he hears Rangiku screamed Rukia's name. He walks up to her and waves. "Hey Ran" he says to the busty soul reaper. "Hey Renji would you, Rukia and Ichigo go with Ikkaku, Yumickia, Captain and me, to skip school tomorrow and hang out and explore more of the town". She asks and turns to look at Rukia for her answer.

Rukia smiles and says. 'Sorry but tomorrow Ichigo and I have some where important to be". Ichigo comes suddenly walk up to them with a weird type of a smile and says. "No Rukia I'm the one who has somewhere to be you go somewhere, and have some fun with Lieutenant Matsumoto and lieutenant Abarai and Captain Hitsugaya". He said with a smile. The whole group of Ichigo friend's freeze "I'll talk to you more after school." He goes back to his desk while every stare's at him in confusion except Rukia and Orihime who look sad. Rangiku thinks 'I'll ask Orhime later'.

After school and trying to talk to Ichigo more, but him being creepy nice and polite and smile when people are looking. They finally leave him alone and Rukia couldn't have been happier about that. So when the school bell finally rings everyone had enough waiting so when Ichigo start's walking home. They all head over to where Orihime is even Toshiro who was worried because he never once called him Toshiro. He only called him Captain Hitsugaya today and that is so not normal.

When they all reach Orihime, Uryuu and Chad, Rukia tagging along just to make sure no one kills anyone. They saw Orihime in tears when they reach her.

"So what has Ichigo done this time Orihime?" spoke up Rangiku. "He hasn-."Rukia was about to say in Ichigo defense. But then, Orihime said "oh he's not at fault it those stupide hollows" she said with venom that no one ever hears come from her. Then she glares and then looks to Rukia with a soft expression on her face "he blames himself you know Rukia he thinks it still all his fault, that he couldn't save her him when he was just a young boy". She state's in a sad angry voice and ended in a hollow empty voice.

Ikkaku laughed "who hasn't Ichigo save that wanted to. He's saves everyone that I know of so far. He just acting like a wuss and emotional for no reason."

Rukia can't take it any longer and finally snaps and looks at Ikkaku and said "He couldn't save the person who meant the world to him. Who always will. Did you know before she died he was a whole another person. His father has shown him some of their home made videos things you can watch on a box. When she was alive he was so full of laugher and joy and such a cry baby." Rukia finishes with a huff and everyone all look at each other trying to image Ichigo crying. Rukia didn't take notice of them so she starts talking again. "Then when she was gone he stop smiled or laughed, he was always angry and now wears that scowl. He always believed he was one to have killed his mother, but just last year he found out a hollow was the real cause of his mother's death" They all gasped and looked at one other in shock, Toshiro Hitsugaya looks shock.

"But every year he and his family go to her grave early in the morning. For has long has school. Then comes home and do as they normal do. Expect Ichigo who come's home and sits in his room and does not yell scream or act annoyed just sits on his bed and stares at the wall." The all are looking at her with this awe sort of looks. "What" she snaps at their looks of awe "I only know because I was here for it last year."

."Wow poor Ichigo, kid goes through a lot doesn't he?" says Renji. "I know!" Rangiku snaps her fingers. "You guys let's do someone for Ichigo and his family tomorrow. Like throw a party. You guys all in?" She said in her excited voice.

Rukia nods while Uryuu Toshiro and Ikkaku look reluctant, before they too nod their heads. "Well I think that is a beautiful idea Rangiku I am in" Yumickia is the first to speak. Chad grunts his approved and Orihime beams at the idea Renji just shrugged knowing he'd be dragged into it anyway.

"Okay then Rukia". Rangiku turns to Rukia "you have an extra house key, hand it over and while you go with Ichigo to the grave we're sneak in and set the place up." We're grabbed the home made video's put those out." While Captian and Chad go to get the snacks chips and ice cream dip candy and something I believe is called soda."

Orihime and Renji will set up the house." While I go out with Uryuu to buy some picture's to go and copy and set them up around the house. While decoding the house the Iikuku and Yumickia can go out and buy some present. So what do you all think?" Rangiku asked about her plan in hope's that everyone agrees to it.

"Oh and one more" thing she says before anyone can answer."Rukia can you call before you guys leave the grave site so we know when we have to start." Rukia says with a beaming smile "I think that a good plan and I will call you before we leave for the grave site." After they all agree and they all head to their home or the place where they sleep while on this mission in the world of the living.

When they all about to go to sleep that night they all think the same think poor Ichigo. Hoping that tomorrow will be a good day and fun for him. They all fall asleep.

They next morning when Orihime runs to the store in runs into Ganju and Hanatoru and invites them to come. They of course say they would be there right when they shift ended.
