'Owww…. My head hurts' I get out of "my bed" 'wait. I live alone unless I can sleep walk I should have woken up in the computer chair.' I scrunch my right eye. 'God it's bright in here what time is it?' I look around the room and can tell right off the bat that this was not my room, for the walls were a soft beige color and in the room was a desk, a rolling chair, the bed and a sliding door closet.
*CREEK* I heard the door squeak quietly "good your up, you know you gave us a scare there." a man walks into the room
"Huh? Who are you, what are you talking about and where am I?" I asked
"Well for starter I'm Isshin kurosaki, and we believe you got hit by a car" the man explained
my eyes widen in slight fear. Isshin saw this "hey! Your fine just got a little roughed up, that's all." he reasured me
"But you said I got hit by a car!" I shouted
"Well you were covered in blood and scratches but enough about that, and for your final question you're at the kurosaki clinic." Isshin smiles "so kid what's your name? Are you hungry?"
"Uhhh, my name is Ryu and I'm no-" *growl* (I don't know what sound a stomach makes when it growls or what not…) Isshin and I sweat drop.
"Uh I guess I am hungry! Hehehehe….." I tilt my head towards my lap blushing slightly from embarrassment.
"Hey Ryu it's okay that you're hungry, do you want to call your mom and dad I mean they must be worried about you, you were out for 2 days from blood loss." My eyes widen suddenly. Isshin must have realized he struck a nerve because his eyes widen in concern as my body starts to shake.
"Ryu? Are you okay?" he asked. I shook my head saying I'm fine. "I don't believe you what's wrong? Is it because of your parents?" "Yes" I finally mumbled. "You know if you're willing to tell me what's wrong, I'm willing to listen."
Once Isshin said that I felt like I could trust him, so I told him how my parents died along with my little sister at the age of seven, how I became suicidal, how I nearly killed myself but didn't have the guts to finish my self-off, and Isshin just sat there and listened to me.
He just listen and had a sympathetic look on his face. And when I finished he wrapped an arm around my shoulder and said. "Ryu, I have a proposition for you,"
"What is it?"
"How would you like to stay here with me and my three kids, one is you're age, and the other two are younger and their twins."
I thought for a moment, 'I could stay here but I don't want to be a burden and just get in the way, but then again I have no place to go im not at home I have no money and I don't have a job either.' *sigh* "Isshin, you sure you want me here? I mean I would just be a burden to you and your family, I would be another mouth to feed and all…."
"Ryu?"
"yeah?" I asked
"You're an idiot." Isshin stated bluntly causing, My eyes to widen. "You're not goanna be a burden besides you need a place to stay, and from what I concluded that you have nowhere to go and you have no family." 'Wow he must be physic,' I though sarcastically.
*sigh*"alright I'll stay, but if you don't mind telling me why did you not mention your wife unless you adopted your kids-" Isshin cut me off,
"My wife, she died" Isshin started.
"I'm sorry,"
"it's okay it's not your fault, but when she died it really affected my son, he would try and be strong and keep his emotions locked inside and he blamed himself for her death. Ichigo thought if he put himself through the burden of being alone and took all pain it wouldn't affect me and my daughters, so they wouldn't feel any of the pain and the burden he did, but instead his actions did the opposite of what he had hoped, my daughters worried about him constantly, and he would just say 'I'm fine really,' and smile.
And that just had them worried even more. That is until Ichigo was staring at the spot in which my wife died, me and the girls were on a walk and we saw him, the girl took off running and hugged him tightly and told him he didn't need to go through all the pain alone. That we were there for him, and that we were a family. Now do you see I don't want you going through this pain alone like my son did?"
I was speechless. What he said really had me thinking of my friends, how they would try to cheer me up when I was sad how they each took turns taking care of me whenever I was sick. And when I wasn't old enough to live on my own, they each let me stay at their house for as long as they could till their parents said I had to go.
'Guys I miss you, where are you? I need my family, my two homosexual sisters and my "gay" twins and the only other sane person besides me.' I though sadly
My eyes started to tear up. "Isshin I- I think I will stay here, I know how it's like to go through pain all alone, that is until my lifeline saved me." Isshin was confused about my 'life line?' "Whats was your life line?" he asked.
"My family" I said, now it was his turn to be speechless. His mouth was opened wide. "Isshin I don't think you want to catch flies right so I would close your mouth, and what I mean is my family is my friends, they all took care of me just like a family would."
Isshin switched his utterly shocked face with a sincere smile and soft eyes.
Isshin and I then talked about life and our Family for a while, I'm not sure how long we talked, but after what felt like an hour or two we both heard a young girl's voice announcing Lunch was ready. "Wow we talked for a long time" Isshin exclaimed.
"Yeah but you know what they say time sure fly's when you're on the memory lane,"
"Hehe, I guess you're right. Now how about we get you some food, and then you can meet my kids." Isshin smiled. He then asked, "Ryu can you stand up by yourself or do you need help?"
"I'm fine," I reassured him. "I just might take a little bit."
"Here, let me just help you so we can get some food in you quicker."
"*sigh* okay but if I tell you I can walk just let go, okay?"
"Sure, now common." Isshin said ignoring me.
"Dad, you coming?" the little girl asked.
"Yeah Yuzu, I'm coming just give me a minute and is Ichigo here?" Isshin asked the girl, whose name I believe is Yuzu
"No he- oh wait he just came in." she answerd
*Down Stairs*
"Dad?" a teenage male asked.
"Ichigo, dad's upstairs" Karin told the young male.
"Why?" Ichigo asked
"Who knows but he's been up there for a while now, and I think I hear him talking to someone." the black haired girl answered
"He might be on the phone." Yuzu said
"Sure, but for this long?" Karin questioned.
"Guys I'm going to my room, to change real quick."
"Okay" both Yuzu and Karin said simultaneously.
*Back upstairs*
"GAHHHH! Isshin! How come you didn't tell me I didn't have a shirt on!?" I yelled/whispered.
"I though you knew." Isshin said inocently
"If I knew do you think I would still be shirt less?!" I screamed
"Well how could you not know you were shirtless?"
"Oh, I don't know maybe have bandages on my chest which, were quite stable until you tried to help me out of the bed!"
"I'm sorry my new son I didn't know you would get this embarrassed!" isshin cooed
"New Son!? I never agreed to that! And I'm not embarrassed!" i shouted with a face red.
"Then why are you yelling at me!?"
"Cause I'm angry! Isshi-"
A voice cut me off from yelling, "Dad…. who's this and what are you doing?" I was curious about who the voice belonged to, so I turned my head and saw a teenager with bright orange hair, chocolate brown eyes and a scowl imprinted on his face along with an irk mark. I then looked back at Isshin and saw his face was about 3 inches from my face….. And I was still shirtless…..
My eyes narrowed yet got bigger at the same time, my lip and eyebrow start to twitch, an irk mark appears on my cheek, and a gigantic blush grows wildly on my face.
Then before Isshin could possess what was going on a foot goes flying in the side of his head and starts getting his face smashed into the floor. While on the floor he feels an evil aura around the person crushing his face.
"*twitch twitch* Isshin I am going to give you in a slow and painful death." I said twitching, though at first you might not think I was intimidating because of the huge blush on my face, but let me tell you. When I make a threat I stick to it, just like how I stick to my promises.
"Rwu coulg yew gesh off mie vace." Isshin's words got jumbled by the floor.
"Uhhh, who are you, what were you doing with my dad and why are you in my room?" the teen asked 'I'm getting a strange sense of de ja vu' I thought.
"well for starters I'm Ryu Bakuto, I was arguing with your dad cause he pissed me off, and I was believed to have gotten hit by a car so I was knocked out and placed here." I stated bluntly pointing to myself. (Notice: Ryu still has the blush on his face but it's not as bad, he still has no shirt on and his foot is still crushing Isshin's face into the floor. He also has a very bored look on his face.)
"Ahh… well this is my room… and it's lunch time so you should probably get some food with my dad. And to get down stairs you just go down the hall and turn.
"Thanks, uhhh and sorry if that looked strange, and if you don't mind me asking, who are you?"
"Ichigo kurosaki, Isshin's son."
"I'm sorry" was all I said before walking out of 'Ichigo's room' and down the hall, but then froze. I turned around then walked back to Ichigo's door and knocked on it. Ichigo opened the door,
"Ryu you didn't get lost did you?"
"No… Could I barrow a shirt? I don't know where mine is." Ichigo then looked down to my bear torso, and blushed a tiny bit (Puppet: it's hardly noticeable almost not there.)
"Yeah let me get one for you," "thanks," I said greatfully
"No problem," I smiled.
'It's nice to know there's at least one sane person in this house.' Ichigo reopened his door and handed me a shirt. The shirt was purple, short sleeved, the sleeves and callor are red and the shirt says NICE VIBE and has a small star next to the 'E' in vibe. "Nice shirt," I said.
"Thanks" ichigo replyed
"your welcome," I told Ichigo
"Oh and if you want you can change in my room I'm heading downstairs." Ichigo offered.
"Okay thanks, Ichigo." i said walking into his room, as ichigo left so i could change into the shirt i was given.
Once I changed into Ichigo's shirt I went down stairs and saw Ichigo, Isshin, and two young girls all sitting at a table eating something that smells very good.
I stand there (near the table. No one noticed me yet.) Awkwardly, then clear my throat. One of the girls finally noticed me. "Hey Dad who's that, and whys he in our house?"
Isshin looked over at me, and then smiled. I glared at him. "Hey is it me or does this guy look like Ichigo?" the other girl said. (The first girl that spoke had short light brown hair and wore an apron. The second girl had chin length black hair and wore a baseball cap.)
"Well Yuzu, this fine young man is Ryu Bakuto. And for now on he is going to live with us." Isshin explained
"Wait, Ryu's going to live with us where is he going to sleep?" Ichigo asked.
"Ichigo, I could just sleep on the couch, so you guys can keep your own rooms how they are." i offered
"True, but are you sure Ryu?" Isshin asked.
"Yeah, cause I told you before I don't want to be a bother, and also if you want me to I can pay a rent I just need to get a job…"
"Nonsense." Isshin insited"Ryu you don't need to pay for rent, just help with the clinic and around the house when available. But how about you meet my daughters."
"Dad, you know were right here, Right?" The black haired girl said.
"Oh, right!" Isshin hubs the back of his head nervously. I sigh and ignore Isshin. I walk up to the girls; bend down slightly so I'm closer to their height as they sit on a chair.
"Hello my name is Ryu Bakuto, nice to meet cha."
"Hey I'm Karin, and this is my sister Yuzu." The black haired girl, whose name is now known, to be Karin said, as she pointed to the light brown haired girl, whose name is Yuzu.
"Hi there Ryu." Yuzu said in a polite voice.
Yuzu studied my face for a moment then muttered softly. "Wow Ryu sure has a lot of piercings."
I stifle a laugh, and say "Yeah Yuzu I do have a lot piercings, but I got all of them for a remembrance of someone or for an achievement." i explained
"Wow that's pretty cool" Karin said.
"Yep. And I also have this tattoo for all the people I love." I then show them the inside of my left wrist, which had the Kanji of love on it in red.
(Puppet: okay in the info I forgot to add some stuff, like how ryu blushes pretty easaly as you already could tell. And also I forgot to add that Ryu has two tattoos. 1) The kanji of love on his left wrist. 2) On his right shoulder a realistic looking heart with a knife through it, and around it has, "Love Is One of The Deadliest Weapons")
I then smile at the slightly shocked look on their faces then say,"Hey did you guys eat all the food or can I get some grub?" Isshin smiles as well.
"Yeah so, common Ryu Lets get you some much needed food."
"Alright!" I cheer
"Ryu what do you want to eat?" Yuzu asked
"what do you have?"
"Uhh," she pauses then grabs my hand and takes me into the kitchen to get some food from the fridge. "Here you can eat whatever you want from here and if you need something cooked just call."
"Okay thanks Yuzu." I smile down at her and pat her on top her head, while she blushes slightly from the praise I gave her.
Once Yuzu leaves the kitchen I see they have all the ingredients to make ramen, so I do. But I pack it full of meat and lots of noodles. And then about 30 minutes later the kitchen starts smelling amazing, from my amazing cooking skills of ramen. (If that makes sense.)
When my Ramen was finished I sat at the now cleared off table and basically swallowed food in one gulp. "Hehe seems like someone was hungry." someone says from behind me.
"Well how would you feel if you didn't eat for a couple days Ichigo?"
he smiles, "Well I actually think I would feel the same way ."
"Yeah. I have a question for you." I said to the boy next to me,
"Shoot,"
"Well how did your family not know I was in your house?" I asked curiously
"I think you might have been in a recovery room, but my dad put you in my room today hoping you would wake up or just wanting you to be more comfortable. Thats what i think anyway."
I shrug "Hmm…. All well just wondering."
Suddenly we hear the door slam open. "Ryu!" Isshin yelled.
"What!?" I shouted back. Isshin came into the dining area "I signed up to go to Karakura High."
"Really?" I ask.
"Yep, you'll get your uniform tomorrow, then you'll be able to go to school here. So I suggest tomorrow you look around Karakura for the day."
"Why?" I ask,
"Because you're going to live here so I thought you might want to know how to get to places."
"Okay, that's a good idea" I said smiling.
After I cleaned up my mess in the kitchen and had put away my dishes, I went into the living room and saw Karin sitting on the couch bumping a soccer ball on her knee repeatingly. I walk up to Karin. "Karin, do you play soccer?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I do, why?" she asked,
"Wanna practice with me?"
"For real?!" she shouted happily,
"Yep," I smile at her entusiasim.
"Awesome! Let's go to the soccer field to play!" Karin shouts happily.
"Isshin! Me and Karin are going out to play soccer!" I shouted informing My new 'Father'."
"Okay!" Isshin shouts back.
When me and Karin get to the soccer field we see some stuck up looking 6th graders. One off them says "Hey look its Karin."
"Really? Whose with her?" anthoer asked,
"I don't know but whoever it is can't be that tough." their leader said
"GRrrrr…" Karin growls
"What's wrong Karin?" I ask.
"Those Guys are total jerks to me and my friends." she explained.
"Really? Well they do look like they have a stick shoved up their ass… pardon my language."
"It's okay and what you just said is true. They think they're so great at soccer, so they bully my friends and me just because they are older than us."
Now it's my turn to growl. I hate it when People mess with my friends or my family's friends, such as Karin. "Ryu?" Karin asked,
"Do you just want to go to the park?" she asked me.
"What's wrong with this place?" I ask Karin.
"Well they're there and I don't think they will leave for us." karin explained once again.
"Oh, but Karin I see them leaving in the very near future"
"What?" She asks as she sees a Evil look come across my face. "Ryu?"she asked quietly. I tilt my head towards her and say, "Karin get ready to play ball." She was shocked but then she saw my features soften slightly. She then smiles "I'm ready."
"Good."
Karin and me walk down to the field and see the losers huddling and whispering to them self's. I bend down to Karin and told her "Karin when I say 'GO' drop the ball in front of me okay?"
"Okay." Karin said.
The kids separate from each other than their leader says, "Sorry Karin, but were not leaving for you or your blueberry haired friend."
Another person from their group was about to speak but I cut them off by shouting "GO!"
"Right!" Karin drops the ball fast, almost like it was about to burn her.
As the ball was falling I ran up to it them, and kicked it so hard it went flying towards the brats, and hit the leader right in the face with so much force he went flying backwards a couple feet. The kids were shocked and scared of what I just did to their leader. They then look at me and see a very creepy smirk on my face. "Boo." I said.
The boys then ran off screaming while they left their leader behind. I smile kindly to Karin "See Karin, I told you they would leave." Her eyes started to sparkle,
"Wow! Ryu that was awesome! Common let's get the ball and play!"
"Alright."
About 3-4 hours later me and Karin decided it was about time to head home. As we were walking back Karin asked "Hey Ryu what did you eat earlier?"
"Me? I made ramen, and man was that good." I started drooling mentally.
"Cool. And Ryu you're going to look around Karakura town tomorrow right?" karin asked
"Yeah why?"
"Just wondering, and before you said each of you piercings were for family, but is your family really that big?"
"Yeah, well all of my blood related relitives died so I had to make a makeshift family with all of my friends."
"Oh… I'm sorry; I didn't mean to bring that up." karin apologised
"Hey, it's okay not like you killed them but, never mind." Karin looked at me sadly.
"Hey what's with that look!?" I shout at Karin. Her eyes widen.
"Don't be sad Karin, it will make you mother upset, because she wants to see her kids grow up with smiles on their faces!"
"Your right I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry, I just don't want to see you sad again you hear!" I shout loudly
"Yeah I hear yah!" karin shouts back happily
The kurosaki clinic finally came into view, "Yo Karin!" I pass her the soccer ball in which I have been carrying. When she caught the ball I then shouted, "Race yah home!"
she was surprised then shouted,"HEY THAT'S CHEATING!" then chased after me laughing. Then just when I was going to open the door a ball hit me in the back of the head and made me smash my forehead into the door, then fall to the floor.
"God! Karin! Was that necessary!?"
"Yeah, it was." I then laughed and asked her about a tie, she agreed but said she would get me next time. I laughed at that,
"Now, now Karin don't go getting your hopes up."
"You wish." Isshin comes over to Karin and me and saw that we were sweaty and smirking.
"What did you two do?" Isshin asked. Karin then got really excited and told him about how I "beat up" one of the jerks who bullied her and her friends, along with the one-on-one game we played which was really close scored but I won. But I think I only won because I had more experience.
About 20 minutes after me and Karin got home; Yuzu announced that dinner was done. And when I went into the dining area I noticed that there was 5 chairs at the table and not just 4. I smiled to myself, the noticed all of the food on the table. My eyes got wide and I could feel myself start to drool, but kept the slobber in my mouth. The Kurosaki family came into the dining area and sat at the table. "Ryu, are you going to sit and eat or what?" Ichigo asked. I smirked then pulled up the chair to the table, and sat in it.
(Puppet: this is really random but that kinda sounded like Light Yagami "I'll take a chip, and eat it!")
"Of course I'm goanna eat! I mean this is the first dinner I ever had in Karakura town, so why would I wanna miss that?"
"Hehe, Ryu I hope you like dinner! I worked really hard on it!" Yuzu smiled
"Well now that you said that I know I'm going to like it!" Yuzu just giggles.
"Son I'm so proud of you!" Isshin shouted
"What?" me and Ichigo ask,
"Ryu thank you for beating up those kids who picked on Karin." Isshin says. My eyebrow starts twitching.
"Isshin! What did I tell you!? I never agreed to being called your son!" I yell as I stand you from my chair quickly then, kicked Isshin in the head.
(How people were sitting is from left to right: Ichigo, Karin, Yuzu, Isshin, and Ryu.)
"Ow! Ow! Ow! My son why do you kick me so much!?" Isshin cried
"Because you're a creep, that. And you're crazy!" I shout at the disterbing man beside me.
"Hahaha!" while Ichigo, Yuzu and Karin Laugh. Isshin sighs with me still on top of him.
"Welcome to Karakura town Ryu, I think you'll fit right in with this place." Isshin said.
"Huh what are you talking about?" i asked
"Hehe nothing let's just finish dinner, I mean you have a crazy day ahead of you."
"Yeah your right." I get off Isshin, and help him stand up. And let's just say this dinner has been one of the most craziest one's I've seen, of course I was a part of that craziness, but all well, it was fun.
But right now it's about 10:30 pm and Yuzu and Karin already have fallen asleep while we were watching this movie on TV. "*Yawn* Ichigo, Ryu I think it's time to turn in, how about you guys?"
"Yeah," Both me and Ichigo said.
"Isshin want me to put the girls in their beds?" I ask.
"Sure, but have Ichigo help you." Isshin replyed
"Okay then. Common Ichigo you pick up Karin." I said
"Okay," he agreed
When me and Ichigo get up stairs we get Yuzu and Karin tucked in bed, kissed their forehead and told the goodnight. Ichigo then walks down the hall to his room opens the door and says,
"Night Ryu, and welcome to Karakura town." I smile.
"Night Ichigo see you tomorrow." Then I walk down stairs, plop down on the couch. Get comfy and let the darkness consume me..
"NYAHAHAHAHAHA!"
