Chapter 2


Disclaimer : I do not own Bleach or the Bleach characters. (etc. etc. everyone probably knows the drill by now)

Beta's note : Okay, so I take full blame for the lateness of this chapter... umm apparently it's been sitting lost in my email waiting on a proof-read since last August... Please don't kill me?


Three weeks later...

Ichigo blinked as he pulled from sleep. He purred as he buried his face in the pillows that now littered his bed. The door creaked open slowly revealing his new friend Shiro. A tall, twenty year old, murderous albino. Ichigo whimpered and rolled over as Shiro plopped lightly on the bed. Pouting Shiro pulled the smaller back and ran his hands through short orange spikes. Ichigo let his head rest on the larger's lap and smiled. This place was paradise compared to his old home.

"You still wanna do this?" Shiro asked dangling an envelope over the teens face. Ichigo just grinned and snatched it from the others gloved hand. Ichigo opened the unsealed envelope and read over the small letter. He slipped it back in and a gloved hand snatched it back and used a newly bought rag to dab water activating the glue and sealing it making sure cotton fibers where caught. Ichigo followed as Shiro carried the rag, a bottle of blood, and the envelope.
Shiro slid on shoes two sizes too big with the bottoms filed flat and slid into his car beside Ichigo. Soon they arrived about three houses down from Ichigo's. Shiro carried a large cooler and Ichigo led him to his home.

Shiro pulled latex gloves over his black, cloth ones and popped open the cooler. He pulled out huge slabs of human and animal meat that had been marinated in the blood of cows and three well-known political men that he had killed a week before. Ichigo pulled on gloves with his father's prints on them and dipped them in the blood before pulling open the door to the cellar in his back yard. Shiro, now in a hair net, carried balloons of blood and slung them around smearing blood on the floor and walls. Then he ran a chilled chain across the ceiling. He then hung meat hooks with the slabs of meat on them. And set out new trays filled with saws and other items. Then he grabbed the cooler and poured a trail of blood up the stairs. He then sliced a balloon and let it drip leaving trails of blood leading to the cellar door. He splashed the rest of the blood right out side the door. He then dipped the rag around in the blood and left it laying. He grabbed his envelope and dropped it casually in the blood and then slipped it in the mail box. Ichigo grabbed the extra bottle of blood and ran in his house using a rag to smear blood on his fathers clothes, bed, and shoes.

He met Shiro out side and they gathered gloves and balloon remains and tossed them in the cooler and set them on fire.
They walked casually back to the car and drove away.

"Now to wait." Shiro said as he passed the mail man on the main road. Ichigo giggled as he pictured his father being taken away and accused of murder.


News cast

"Neighbors are stunned as Isshin Kurosaki is arrested today. A letter arrived at the police station today with the blood of political figures Ulquiorra Schiffer, Byakuya Kuchici, and Stark Coyote, along with his daughter Lilly. Those who live close by are horrified, but a few say they aren't surprised due to Isshin's drinking problem along with uncontrolled rage."

Shiro clicked the television off and grinned down at Ichigo. Ichigo sat smiling and wide-eyed.

"It... it worked." Shiro chuckled and pulled the child onto his lap.

"I told you to trust me."
