Hey guys! xD So I'm back to write it!
I was having a week with four consecutive days of practice exams for the state…
It was such a pain that it messed up my schedule to write. LOL!
Well I hope I can get to write more, and…
I'll get right into it.
Here comes the next chapter!
My Only Ray of Light Chapter 1
The squeaks of birds…
…
I'm about to get tired of hearing them every single day.
I sighed and looked out the window. It was very bright outside.
Inside the classroom was very noisy; since it was a break time we had right before dismissal.
I supported my arm at the windowsill and was watching the outside scenery.
When I heard someone calling my name, I jolted slightly.
"Ichigo-"
"Huh….Uh? Oh, Renji."
Just as I was about to turn to the owner of the voice
I stayed still when I caught a familiar spot of red at the corner of my eyes.
"What… Your reaction's so boring."
Renji had his hands shoved into his pockets as he stared down at me.
Even if we always debate he is a friend who stayed by my side.
He is one of the fewest lists of people whom I trust.
Whenever my moods change he is the first one to notice it,
And as he seats himself next to me he questions and makes me smile.
I guess today… is the same as well?
Heh- a soft smile leaked out from the corner of my mouth.
"What- you smiled easily today?"
Upon saying this I am guessing that the redhead didn't notice his own lips curling upwards.
"I guess- because you're here? LOL."
"What? Ha-ha!"
The playful laugh was spread out as we didn't try to hide it.
After laughing together a while, I stopped and started to think.
Just then I called Renji's name gently.
I said his name so softly that my mouth's rooftop was tickled.
"Renji.."
"Hm? What, Ichigo?"
He answers kindly.
I hesitate for a while before starting to speak.
"I… think that something's going on around me these days."
…
"Huh? What…do you mean Ichigo? You sick somewhere?"
Renji looked surprised as he took his hands out of his pockets and placed them on my desk. He stared at me with widened eyes.
"Uh…No Renji. Not that…"
Though I felt awkward I felt appreciation from Renji's worries.
'Yeah… If it's Renji I can trust him… He won't think of me as a retard…'
After I gave it a thought I decided at last to talk.
"Uh ya know… Lately I've having these bizarre dreams… and whenever I'm still I hear some weird voice… It definitely gives me spooky feelings. When I've told my dad a little of this he said…what… something about ghosts or some crap? What the hell was he saying that damn creep… And I was being serious."
Renji was listening quietly and started to speak.
His long red hair stimulated my eyes to stare at it.
"Maybe it's because you have a lot of stress these days?"
"No… I think there's more to it than that. But… it's not like some kind of weird creatures exist in this century… Then what is it? Am I really retarded?"
Renji sat on top of my desk and started to rub his chin with his fingers.
He seemed to be having a lot of thoughts, and then said,
"Well…It certainly should not be that case…. Anyways get a lot of rests… Don't study too much. Pff! Haha. If you shove too many things into your head that pretty orange hair of yours will turn white."
"Hey, shut up! I already have in consideration that my hair is funny! You freaky redheaded bastard! Are you in the position to make fun of my hair color?"
"L.O.L, you surely don't change… I think that you're C.O.M.P.L.E.T.E.L.Y. normal."
Talking as he gives off another annoying smirk…
I stayed put since I didn't have anything to say. The bell rang then.
The students flowed noisily out of the room like rivers.
I packed my book bag quietly and slowly, then got up from my seat.
As I was about to step out of the classroom, I heard Renji calling me and stopped.
"Ichigo- I'll drop you off."
"Huh? But Renji- Is it okay?"
Upon Grinning Renji answered; "Of course I am! I'm just worried that you might faint at the street while thinking of those useless concerns!"
"HEY! You think I'm that weak! I'm quite strong! Everyone knows that."
-That was a truth.
I was pretty good in P.E, and was known well in my school.
Well… I guess half of my being famous is because of the overly noticeable orange hair of mine.
I've got plenty of friends as well.
As I've mentioned before, the ones whom I truly trusted were only a few.
I wasn't so bad in studying either. My grades were somewhere in the high scores.
If you get in the top 20's in the whole school, it's not bad, is it?
"Anyways let's go! Ichigo."
As we were walking home we discussed about a lot of subjects.
School…Friends…Family…Insulting girls…
Most of the topics were considered to be the regular stuffs that all of kids our age would talk about.
As cool breeze of wind caressed my back I closed my eyes lightly at the pleasant sensation.
I guess that only lasted until Renji had to remind me that you never close your eyes when walking on a street.
"Thanks Renji, see you tomorrow!
"No problem, anytime. Well I'll get going. Take care of yourself, Ichigo!"
"I'm not sick or anything! Take care of your own!"
After I ranted out Renji wasn't seen in my view.
I sighed and went into my house, only to look around and find no one.
… There's no one at home.
My sisters, Karin and Yuzu, must be at school still hanging around with her friends.
Then…the goatface…
"huh?"
I spotted a crumpled piece of paper on the kitchen table.
When I picked it up and read it;
"My DEAR LOVED SON! Your daddy will be out to do some jobs. I won't be back until late evening.
Keep the house clean!
Take care of your LOVELY sisters!
Don't study too much, for you will become a nerd!
And- Even if you think you're going to die in agony of missing this wonderful father, just manage to bear-"
Before I finished reading the last sentence I ripped the paper into tiny shreds and shoved it into the trash bin.
"You just have to say necessary things, why does this guy have to blab all useless crap?"
After I gulped on some water from the refrigerator I went up to my room.
Right when I opened the door I threw my schoolbag in laze and threw myself on my bed.
When the soft and comfortable sensation touched my body my eyelids got heavy in tire.
Just when I was about to fall asleep…
Again…the voice, the anonymous source of voice was heard in my head.
"Didn't I tell you?
That I would...Definitely seek you again.
Then you...
…cannot run away anymore.
I will return all the pain I received from you.
If then...
You would have to...
Live your life in eternal vain."
Boku wa- Omae ni sagase.
Sagase to...omae wa itami ni watashimashita...
(I will search you. Search and… I will give you agony.)
…
...
GASP!
"AHH!"
Shocked by the sudden voice, I picked up my upper body and looked around in terror.
Chills went down my spine and I was..afraid.
'What…What is this!'
I grabbed my hair with a lot of force, than got up and walked to the long mirror which was next to my closet. It was used to take a look at your whole body.
The reason I got that was because the guy called my shitty dad had to blab some shit like "men have to maintain their beauty as well! Ichigo, you have to look at yourself and realize it!"… And so I had to leave one at my room too.
I looked at myself through the mirror.
My hair and face was soaked with sweat, which was just messed up.
What the hell…
Freaked out just because of that kind of crap?
What's wrong with me…
As I was scolding myself and rubbing my eyes, I wasn't noticing…
That the mirror before me was shining darkly…
Huh?
"Wha..What? N..o!"
The mirror started pulling me.
I tried to resist and stop myself with all my strength but it was no use.
"D..Damn!"
The force was too strong for me to stop.
…
The power got stronger and at last I got swallowed by the darkness.
I thought I would be staying in the mirror itself, but I didn't stop and was somehow traveling in a passageway in the mirror.
Contradicting my will to go back, by body was moving in a tremendous force, to the opposite side of where I came from.
The interior was dark, and the only thing found when I looked around was only the cold darkness.
"Shit- what kind of situation is this crap?"
Just then, I saw a ray of light in front of me and saw the outside.
The speed of my traveling got faster and eventually my body started to fly in extreme high speed.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly I was thrown outside from the mirror passageway, and I fell down at the ground with a thump.
"Ow…Ah..damn…it.."
The complaint of pain lasted only for a second, and I realized just then about the situation I was in as I looked around.
"W..Where is this? Why am I…how..?"
No one was around, and the place seemed like a forest.
It looked like some kind of location where the people perform action scenes for samurai dramas.
The scenery was very bright, and was warm.
The green trees and grasses pleasured my eyes.
Nevertheless…
A feeling of discomfort.
This place seems so bright, though it seems to be drowning in sorry… Why?
It's like…
A miserable soul is sleeping here somewhere…
Wait-
It's not the time for me to be thinking about such things!
Where is this place- and why the hell am I here?
The heck's that mirror?
What the hell's…
Damn it… smashing the goddamn mirror is the first thing I'm gonna do when I go back!
If I can go back at all, that is…
W..Wait! What am I jabbering about?
O..Of course I can go back!
I..I'm sure I can…There's gotta be a way…I can find it…
Ah…If only Renji was here with me…Huh?
As I was looking around with such thoughts I saw a…coffin?
What's a coffin doing in this kind of area?
I approached it as I raised my eyebrows.
It was a little spooky but there might be a clue to where this place is…
Slowly- and cautiously I advanced.
The coffin seemed to be made out of old wood.
Seeing from the spider webs and the dusty state of it, I concluded that it was fairly old.
It looked like one of the old century's coffin that I saw from a museum from my class trip.
"What is this?"
The coffin was located next to a giant and old tree, and things like tree roots were tightened around it.
"I can't even open it if it's like that…"
I sighed and took my hand to the cover of the coffin just in case.
Then-
The metal- like roots released the coffin at the same time I took my hand to touch it!
"Huh? Wha..What's…"
As I witnessed the surprising scene I stayed speechlessly.
"Is this…some kind of… creepy…"
I started to feel anxious.
I didn't know what would be in it, or what would happen if I open the coffin.
What should I do…
I already have done something at this point.
The coffin seemed to be left in the old position for a long time.
Yet I don't know how but I've moved the roots and made the coffin get exposed…
Damn it- I don't know anymore!
Without giving it a lot of thought, I moved my hand to the cover of the coffin.
Creak-
With a horrifying sound the Coffin was opened by my hand.
Though I was petrified I looked inside- observing carefully and quietly.
*End of chapter 2*
"Itai omoi wo sasete gomen nasai..."
(I'm sorry I caused you pain…)
OMG I'M FINALLY DONE WITH THE CHAPTER!
This story is going to be shorter in contents of the chapter, compared to the other fictions I'm writing. And plus the busy schedule, which I'm annoyed of

Well I hope this was alright.
This story contains plenty of genres…
Some serious angst, drama…fantasy…action…adventure…Yaoi Romance…
Sad ending or a Happy ending is a mystery at this poing xD
Well I gotta work on the next chapter…
And HOPEFULLY I do have the time that the test has ended…
