Chapter Two:
Ichigo was staring at the sky as he was walking towards his house as school was over with. He was taking the path by the river thinking about how the past two months had been so monotonous. After saving Rukia everything went back to normal which, at first, was fine. Now though, he was bored. There was nothing to do, and even the occasional hollow attack was becoming a bore. All he wanted was some excitement!
As he walked, Ichigo was pulled out of his thoughts as he felt a strong pulling presence nearby. He noticed that in the sky the air was beginning to become distorted. Soon there was a purple vortex swirling in the sky. Ichigo tensed up, slightly starting to panic when he realised that he had no way to change into his shinigami form. Suddenly, Ichigo flinched as something shot out of the vortex and crashed beside the river not even ten feet away from him. When the dust settled and Ichigo saw that nothing jumped to attack, the orangette slowly made his way to the new crater that had been formed.
As he got there, Ichigo stared in shock for a few minutes at the sight of a young boy that was unconscious in the middle of the crater. Ichigo finally was able to gain enough of his brain faculties to go and pick up the boy. He then headed to a certain place to let the boy heal. Funnily it wasn't his family's clinic. It was a shady little candy shop that was really a shinigami dealing shop in disguise. As he rushed that way he took in the boy's features. The only terms that came to mind was cute, and small. The boy looked to be no older than two, three if the child was naturally small. He had unruly bright blonde hair, and whisker marks on his cheeks. The boy was wrapped in some sort of cloak and was clutching what seemed to be a mask and scroll. Other than being unconscious and a couple bruises the boy seemed to be unharmed. Though the boy was also very light.
He shook away his worries as he neared Urahara's shop. It wasn't a surprise to see Kisuke waiting outside the shop for him. The man always seemed to know when he was going to show up. Though, pleasingly enough, even the hatted man seemed to be shocked by the boy. That shock was quickly hidden behind the hat and fan just as fast as the emotion showed.
"Well, it seems as you found yourself in some more trouble Ichigo." Kisuke said in that sickenly fake happy tone. He then led Ichigo with the boy that was still dead to the world inside.
They got the boy in a spare room and went to have some tea in the living room area. Ichigo sighed slightly as he sipped his tea," The boy seemed to be just sleeping. He was breathing normally, and didn't seem to be in any kind of pain. Besides that, he may be neglected. He was way too light. When I looked over him, I could see his ribs, so I know he is malnutritioned. Weirdly enough, he has a tattoo on his upper arm." he finished his findings to the man across from him. His perpetual scowl was even angrier. Ichigo absolutely adored children and hated child abuse and neglect. This fact actually surprised most people. Ichigo guest it just came from helping raise the girls.
Kisuke sighed slightly," You said he came out of a purple vortex?"
"Yeah,why? Do you know where he came from?" Ichigo asked curiously.
"Maybe…" Kisuke said,"...there is something that not a lot of the shinigami know of. Only the head captain and I knew at the time. It isn't even recorded in the archives. There many more worlds that exist than just ours. We actually had portals to travel to those worlds, but then something happened and the portals closed, trapping any shinigami within whatever world they were in." he explained to the teen.
"So you think this boy came from one of the other worlds?" Ichigo stated. His thoughts was completely on the blonde boy. He just felt that the boy was important to him somehow. He didn't know why yet.
"Exactly, though which world, will be hard to decipher until the boy wakes up." Urahara muttered in a inquiring voice.
Ichigo just stared at his tea cup for a while before looking up at the shop owner,"I would like to stay here until the boy wakes up. If you don't mind Hat n' Clogs, that is…"
Kisuke smirked," Why Ichigo, you should know always know you're welcomed in my shop. I would never try to stop your mother-hen tendencies!" his smirk grew wider at the blush that graced the teens cheeks.
Ichigo could feel his blush and just pouted," I do not act like a mother-hen….I'm just making sure the kid isn't going to become another of your experiments you weird old man."
"Ah, Ichi, you wound me." Kisuke made a dramatic gesture of both hands clutching at his heart.
Ichigo just snorted at the ex-soul reaper's antics. He then got up, set his teacup down, and headed towards the front door. "I'm going to get some clothes, and tell goat-face that I'm staying with a friend for a while. I'll be back in a bit. Make sure to keep a close watch on the kid." Then Ichigo left with the ever smirking man watching him leave.
"Not a mother-hen my ass, sorry Ichigo, but I could read you like an open book. The moment you saw him, you became attached." Urahara spoke softly, once the shop was void of the orange haired teen.
When the teen finally came back, he was blushing more and seemed to be more irritated. "S….stupid goat-face…always gotta think dirty things...why does he act so…" Kisuke could hear Ichigo's grumbles and just ignored them.
He showed Ichigo the spare room that was beside the kids," This is your room while you're here. My room is two doors down, the kids is the room beside yours on the left. Tessai, Jinta,and Ururu are away to pick up some things for the shop, they won't be here for at least another two weeks."
Ichigo nodded, and that was that. For the next week, Ichigo began to live with the shopkeeper and they had something sort of a routine. In the mornings, Kisuke would get the tea ready while Ichigo went and checked on the kid to force feed him some soup. Then after tea, Ichigo would go to school, while Kisuke kept watch over the boy. Ichigo still worried over the boy, which got him concerned looks from his friends when they saw something wrong with him. Later, Ichigo would go by the grocery store before going back to the shop. He learned the first night that Urahara couldn't cook. He could certainly almost burn the house down, but cooking was a skill beyond him, and while Ichigo wasn't as good as Yuzu, he still knew how to cook pretty well. Then, after dinner, Ichigo would go feed the boy again, take a shower, then go back to the boys room. He had gotten into the routine of reading the boy Shakespeare, before going to bed.
It was the Monday of the second week, when his friends grew too curious and they found out about the boy. They all laugh at his embarrassment for being caught reading his favorite stories to the comatose boy. The girls all thought his mother-henning was adorable,this caused him to pout. After that they always got him back on track in school when he let his mind wander back to the boy.
Finally, it was that Wednesday when it happened. Ichigo was finishing pouring soup down the boy's throat and just sat in his designated chair until he had to go to school. Then he noticed the kid starting to move a bit. Then he could see his eyes move behind his closed lids.
Rushing over to the door, Ichigo yelled," Kisuke, hurry I think he's waking up!" he then went back to his chair, not looking back when he heard the door open and closed again. The boy's movement started to increase, and then his eyes started to flutter. Ichigo leaned forward in anticipation.
Finally, after so long, the boy's eyes opened. Ichigo heard both him and the boy gasp. He could honestly say, the boy had the biggest, bluest eyes he has ever seen. The boy slowly took in his surroundings, and then his gaze locked onto Ichigo's. Ichigo could feel the bond was more prominent now. It was stronger, and Ichigo just knew that this boy was his, his to protect, his to care for.
The blue eyed boy then spoke. In a small voice he called Ichigo," Mama..."
A/N: Okay so I need to say something important, I'm not gunna make any more pairing polls unless I absolutely need to. I have noticed that I tend to partially already pick the pairings. It's just not fair to the reader's if I give them choices then already have an idea of who I want them with. For that I apologize. To the readers who already voted, I really did, think hard about each pairing, and thank you for your input. I do hope ya'll like the story regardless of who I pair together.
