I walked down the long road that I walked every day. I sighed and ran my hand through my long blonde hair that reached my waist. I wore a black tank top and a dark purple plaid skirt and black converse. I had bandages wrapped around my right upper thigh to hide my…scars.
I froze as I heard my name being called behind me.
"ALYSA, you stupid bitch! Give me my money, you whore!" I turned to see the three guys that beat me and stole from me every day, but today was different…this time the leader, Kyo, had a crow bar. I panicked, I didn't know where I would go but I didn't have time to think as they started down the road towards me. I turn tailed and ran as fast as I could. They ran after me shouting insults and threats all over the place. I closed my eyes tight to hold back tears.
I came into contact with a firm chest and fell onto the ground in front of them. I slowly pried open my eyes to see a guy with white hair and wearing a red shirt with a white flannel over it and dark blue skinny jeans. I blushed realizing he was really handsome. The thought left my mind as a hand grabbed my bicep and threw me across the road. My back came into contact with the brick wall and I gasped as all the air left my lungs. I coughed up a small amount of blood onto the ground.
"Itai" I said as I looked up. Kyo was walking over to me with his crow bar firmly gripped in his hand. I stood up and leaned away from the wall with my blank face unfazed. I stood proud and with my head held high I turned away and started walking. He growled behind me and I heard him raise his crow bar above his head and swing it down at me. It struck me on my shoulder blade making it throb and me to stumble. I gripped my shoulder with my opposite hand. I turn back to look at him and he called his two friends over and told them to hold me down. I slapped their hands away and glared at them.
"What do you want, Kyo?" I asked in my darkest voice laced with ice. He smirked and replied.
"Give me what I came for and I won't give you any broken bones." He replied snidely. He raised his hand and brought it down on my lower jaw making it make a sicking cracking sound. I simply glared at him and shifted my jaw with my hands and brought it back into its designated location.
"Hmph is that really what you want to happen, huh, Alysa, or should I say the most hate person in all of Tokyo." He said laughing at me he slapped me across the face then brought his crow bar around and smacked me across the stomach making me cough up more blood. My breathing came out in ragged pants as I clutched my stomach in a kneeling position trying to make the pain subside. It didn't work and I shot up crashing my head into Kyo's chin. My head pounded with pain as did most of my body, but I stood my ground. Kyo's friend pulled out a blade and I dodged it the first time but he slashed me across the face and waist the second and third time.
I continued to hold my ground as they all came at me with weapons. I shut my eyes and waited for them to make impact. Then I heard a clap then another and another then one more then they stopped and I opened my eyes to see Kyo's gang glaring at the guy I ran into earlier. I looked with wide eyes as he stood up and gracefully walked over to us. His piercing blue eyes bore into my own blue eyes and I felt my knees grow weak but I didn't intend to fall, not right now! I slowly stood into a standing position and continued to watch as the guy took out all of Kyo's gang knocking them out then as he was about to kill Kyo, I screamed.
"NO, don't kill him!" I looked down as he dropped him onto the ground and walked towards me. I stood my ground as he walked right up to me. he studied me for a moment, then I turned and started walking away.
"Where are you going? That's not the way to the hospital." He spoke in an extremely smooth voice. I shivered the looked back at him.
"The hospital won't treat me. I'm leaving." I said looking back ahead.
"Then come with me. You have no place to go right?" he asked with no emotion. I sighed just by looking at him I could tell I would get no where fast.
"Fine, but I will leave when I want to." I stated and walked back towards him as he started walking away. We walked in silence for a while as I walked next to him now. We must have walked half way across town before we finally came to a stop in front of a shop. There was a girl and a boy fighting to the side of us as he opened the door and slipped his shoes off, I followed suit and we walked inside.
We got to the back and we were met by the sight of a older man with a green and white striped hat and shaggy blonde hair. He looked up at us and gave us a sly smile and said in a slow yet steady voice "well, what do we have here?"
Suddenly all eyes were on us. A girl with long orange hair with a pretty face and large breasts, A man with bright orange, spiky hair and a average face, a man with brown shaggy hair and a Hawaiian shirt and he was huge! Also a man with black hair wearing a white and blue outfit, I made my first impression….weird.
"Toshiro, hey it been a while." The boy with bright orange hair greeted my white haired savior.
"Toshiro, huh, a fitting name" I thought to my self, as I seated myself in the far corner of the room. I winced a little as my shoulder came into contact with the wall. Toshiro looked around for a moment before his eyes landed on my broken body.
"Alysa, this is Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Urahara, and Ishida." He said pointing to each one. I nodded in greeting to them as a whole. They each said hi and Orihime came running over to me with watery eyes saying that I should be in bed resting with such injuries. She pushed Ichigo out of the way and set up a traditional Japanese bed for me and helped guide me over to it laying me back down on it. I hissed at the pain running through my body with each step and different pressure on my body. I tensed as she began lifted my shirt up to see my injuries I slapped her hand away sitting up as the room went quiet. She smiled at me for a moment before practically kicking everyone out, but Toshiro saying that he should brief her on my injuries and help her hold me down while assessing my injuries. She ran to get the first aid kit and I laid back down and stared at the ceiling.
"Why are you helping me?" I said without removing my gaze from the ceiling.
"Because you need help…and because I want to." He said not removing his gaze from my face. I looked back at him and sigh looking back up at the ceiling.
"You're not as young as you look…but other than that you're a mystery to me…" he tensed as I spoke my sentence.
"Heh, you're the first to know I wasn't. What gave me away?"
"You hold yourself in a regal manner, like someone in high authority. Just like me"
"Heh, that's nice to know." He said finishing our little conversation as Orihime walked back in with the first aid kit.
