Hoo boy! It's been ages since I've written anything or even updated! And after watching this anime...I decided to try a fic for it! So i hope you like it my loyal readers of my Bleach fics and those of No. 6 fandom! :D Sorry some of it may be similar to the anime/manga, but it'll be different I promise!
Chapter 1
Rain pelted the ground from the clouded night sky. Puddles rippled as raindrops fell in the dim lighting of the city. A loud howl of pain was heard, along with gunfire as the puddles were suddenly slammed into by bare feet. A young man, no older than 14, ran for his life, panting and holding his side.
It was a grazing...but if...if i don't get some blood...it could worsen... He thought as he hid in the shadow of a convenient store, gazing at the large, rune covered wall beyond. Gh...won't make it there in time. He growled, his lips curling to reveal sharp fangs. What can I do?! I refuse to die in this hell! He slumped. Shit...getting dizzy... He looked up when the door opened and his gray eyes widened briefly. Perfect...he's close to my age...so... He saw him pull out an umbrella, holding a bag of groceries and texting before picking up the phone.
"Yeah mom, I got them!" He said, his voice light and happy. The young man stopped a moment. "I'll be home soon, promise! ...Ok...love you too mom." He hung up and began to walk away.
Sadly...no you won't! The young man lunged from the shadows, knocking the boy to the ground.
"Ow!" He pinned him by the neck and held a clawed hand over his face when he stopped. Wide brown eyes stared at him, his brown hair wet from the rain. "Hey..." His face was young, almost baby like in apperance, and instead of fear, his eyes were full of...
Is he...curious?! When I'm about to end him?! He thought. He coughed and fell back as the world tilted in his view. He collapsed against the young boy, his breathing heavy as the boy stood. Shit...what's he going to do?!
"H-hey! Oh no...you're hurt..." The boy leaned over and moved his shirt up. "This looks painful...can you stand?"
The young boy looked into suspicious gray eyes with his own, worried brown ones. "Can you hear me? Or understand-"
"I can understand...j-just fine..." He coughed and struggled to stand. The boy grabbed his umbrella and groceries, keeping it over the young, injured man. "Wh-what the hell...are you doing?"
"It's raining and you're soaking wet...and hurt." He frowned. "Follow me, but be careful ok?" He lead the young man down the street to a nice apartment complex. "My room's on the fifth floor. Just give me time ok? I'll open the window for you!" He raced inside, dropping the groceries off and opened the window. Using a rope from the closet, he held it down as the other climbed up, struggling every once and awhile. "Here, wear this. I'll dry your clothes ok?" The young man didn't argue, too weak to try. "Oh by the way, my name's Shion. What's yours?"
"Why the hell are you helping me?" The young man glared at Shion, his fingers tipped with sharp claws and fangs bared. "You know what i am. I can see it...so why?"
"...I knew it. You're a Werecreature, right? You're not a vampire, your hair and eyes are still normal." Shion commented lightly and wrapped a blanket around his wary guest. "That means you'll need blood to heal it, right?"
"Answer my question-" Shion covered his mouth when a voice called.
"Shion, sweetie? Is everything ok?"
"Y-yes mom! Just cleaning a little before studying!" He replied, much to the young man's shock. She walked away and he sighed. "Not so loud ok? My mom doesn't know you're here."
"Oh, lying to your mommy now? Such a naughty little human you are." The young man teased and Shion blushed darkly.
"A-am not! I just...don't want her getting in trouble either." He admitted softly and the young man nodded. "Wait here ok?" He left the room and ran downstairs. He fixed two bowls of soup and went to his mom. "Hey mom? I uhh...need my blood." His mother nodded and handed him a bag of blood before he headed upstairs. The moment he entered the bag was swiped and greedily sucked down. "You're welcome." He watched the young man down i greedily, sighing as he licked leftover from his lips.
"Why...why did you even have this?" He asked as he took a bowl of soup. "That's not something normal humans would have."
"I usually donate my blood to hospitals, and a friend of mine has the same type...and I uhh...have a disease that causes me to bleed a lot if i get cut. So I have them for backup." Shion explained, feeling slightly embarrased. The young man laughed and let his long, violet hair fall down, almost past his back. "You're hair's so long..."
"Do you ever stop talking?" He huffed and climbed into Shion's bed, curling up. "Hope you don't mind, since you're now aiding a criminal and all that."
"You're a criminal? Did you kill someone?"
"So what if i did?" Shion flinched a bit and shook his head.
"No you didn't.
"And how do you know?"
"Because i would be dead too." He shrugged and smiled. "But a Were huh? That's so cool! How much of your body can shift? Are you a wolf, a cat or-"
"Rat." Shion stopped and blinked big, brown eyes.
"H-huh? A rat?"
"Yes...and it's my name too. Rat." He looked at him from under the covers. "Problem?"
"No...it's just an odd name is all. I like it though." Shio hopped on the bed and sat with him. "So...where are you from?"
"...West District...beyond the rune wall." Shion sighed, nodding. He'd expected that. Were creatures and vampires lived outside of the city, forced into a rough life beyond the wall. "Why ask such a dumb question?"
"I just wanted to know is all." Shion plopped down on bed next to him and gasped when Rat rested on top of him. "H-hey!"
"You're...so warm..." Rat yawned and quickly fell asleep on his human pillow. Shion blushed darkly, but felt himself snuggling up to Rat.
He...smells like a breeze...He thought sleepily. "Mmm...night Rat." He mumbled.
"Night...Shion...weirdo..." Rat said and Shion let out a chuckle as he drifted off to sleep, feeling oddly content.
Rat snuck out in the early hours of the morning, having taken another bag of blood and dry clothes. He looked back to the open window. He had watched Shion sleep for awhile, his face peaceful and serene. He's so pure...too pure for my world. And yet...i dragged him into it... He thought with a frown. Shion...I'm sorry. Be careful...and good luck. He was about to leave when he heard a voice.
"Hey, Rat!" Rat looked up and saw Shion at his window. His brown hair was a mess, eyes still red from sleep but he was smiling. "I'll see you later, ok?! Be careful!" He waved to him with a bright eyed gaze.
"You dumbass! Get back inside!" He yelled back when he heard voices. Shit! He ran off as Shion called to him one last time.
"We'll see each other again! I know it!"
Again...i don't want to...and yet...yet I... He spared one last glimps at the young boy. Shion, the boy who showed him kindness despite their differences. I need to make sure...he's safe later... He then retreaded into the early morning shadows.
