Okay, so here's the next chapter. I'm not a very fast typer but I'm working on it. I'm also drawing some manga for each chapter so take a look at them. Here's the link: http:/bleachigoxrukia(dot)deviantart(dot)com/gallery/d4acmb6 Well here's chapter 1!
P.s. I used some Japanese words this time.
Kon ban wa - Good Evening
Baka - Idiot
Mata ne - See you
I DO NOT OWN BLEACH! Tite Kubo does.
Chapter 1
"Urahara? Yeah, this is Rukia, can you come pick me up?"
Ichigo woke up head feeling dizzy. He sat up, put his hands on his head and rubbed his eyes but felt something. 'What's this, bandages, ban-aids?' Slowly, he remembered what had happened to him. 'My old man probably did this' he thought, removing his hands from his eyes. Looking around Ichigo noticed that he wasn't in the clinic or his room, 'where the hell am I! Wait….. when I was walking to school I got beat up, but this girl helped me. What was her name again? Riruki, Rakiu, Raiku….' Just then the door opened and there stood the girl who had helped him.
"R-Rukia…."
They both met each other's gaze and just stared at each other, they both realized what was happening and simultaneously looked away from each other. Blushing, Ichigo thought of the look in Rukia's eyes. ' they we're filled with relief and worry, but why does she keep looking at me with worry in her eyes?' Realizing the silence between them Ichigo looked at her again, but she had sat down by a wall and was watching the leaves fall.
"Rukia?"
Rukia turned her attention away from the leaves and looked at Ichigo.
"Where am I and what happened? I mean, I know I got beat up and all…."
Ichigo looked away and stared at his hands.
"..but what happened after that?" He asked looking at her again. 'Well at least she doesn't look worried anymore.'
"Well first of all, we're at Urahara Kisuke's house…"
"Urahara?"
At that moment the door opened and a man wearing clogs and a green and white hat slammed the door open and jumped in.
"Speak of the devil.." Rukia mumbled, but only Ichigo heard because Urahara had started speaking nonsense.
"Kon ban wa Kuchiki-san! I see your boyfriend woke up now!" Urahara cried joyfully.
Rukia quickly looked over to Ichigo to see his reaction but he just raised an eyebrow. Noticing Rukia was looking at him, Ichigo turned his attention to Rukia and sent her a smirk. Rukia felt herself blushing, but she go a hold of herself and sent Ichigo a glare that said 'shut up.' Ichigo got the message, but he kept smirking as he saw Rukia turn her attention to the man across of her. Urahara who had been watching them let out a small shriek when he looked back at Rukia. 'Damn, that's one deadly glare. It's like hell itself looking at you!' Ichigo thought.
"U-uhh…I-it's n-not what y-you think Kuchiki-san." -Urahara waves his hand franticly- "I-I meant y-your friend that's a-a boy!" Urahara stuttered as he slowly backed away to the wall opposite from Rukia. Ichigo was chuckling at the sight gained Rukia's attention as she gave him a confused look. Ichigo knew she wondered what was so funny.
"You know when I first met you I thought you were a sweet kind girl, but turns out it was all just an act for first impressions, turns out you're a devil midget, and what makes you think I would take what that man" -He points at Urahara- "says seriously?' Ichigo asked looking back at Rukia. She had raised an eyebrow and was now striding towards him.
"Who says I took what that baka said seriously?" she asked standing in front of Ichigo. Kneeling down she punched him hard on the stomach.
"That's for calling me a devil midget," she said as she heard Ichigo groan in pain.
"and you're a weak strawberry" Rukia retorted poking him hard on the chest with every word until Ichigo was lying down again. Rukia stood up and started walking back to her seat.
"you're not a devil midget, you're a scary devil midget" Ichigo mumbled to himself, Urahara smiled hearing Ichigo's comment, 'you're lucky she didn't hear you!' All three of them sat there in silence, listening to the wind whistle and the leaves rustle. Rukia was looking our the window watching the leaves fall again, lost in thought.
"So?" Ichigo asked
"So, what?" Rukia asked back as she turned to look at Ichigo.
"Are you going to finish explaining or not?"
"Oh, right. Well, we're at Urahara's house. He as family friend of ours…"
'Man, she cooled off fast, she sounds so calm. Did we even have that argument earlier?'
"…and that's how you ended up here. Urahara patched you all up so I think you should at least thank him for helping you."
Ichigo didn't really care that much on how he got here, he just wanted to break the awkwardness between them.
"Oh, thanks Urahara"
"It was no biggie, I didn't even do that much. When I got there you already stopped bleeding, all I did was clean up the blood all over you."
"It doesn't matter to me how much help you did, just the fact that someone helped me is more than enough" Ichigo replied as he sent a quick smile to Rukia.
Blushing, Rukia excused herself saying she had to go to the washroom. The moment the door closed Urahara quickly crawled over to Ichigo. All the goofiness suddenly went away, Urahara had looked more serious and urgent on saying something.
"You know, when I got there Rukia's uniform was ripped and full of blood. If I didn't know any better I don't think the bleeding stopped on it's own, if you know what I mean. She also looked very worried, I guess it reminded her of some memories before she moved here…." They both heard footsteps coming. Crawling as fast as he could Urahara went back to his spot trying to make it look like nothing happened, but Ichigo lay there thinking of what he just said. ' what happened before she moved here, does that have anything to do with the way she always looks at me?' Rukia walked in,
"It's 1:30 already?" she asked herself
"1:30? I better go home, I need a good excuse on why I didn't go to school."
Ichigo stood up from the futon he was lying on.
"Hey midget! Where's my bag?"
"Stop calling me midget baka! Your bag is near the front door!" she yelled angrily.
"I'm sooo glad this is the last time I'll be talking to that strawberry." she mumbled
"Where's the front door? And don't think I didn't hear you, miiidgeeet" he yelled back teasingly
"Ughhh, you're such an annoying idiot!" Rukia said as she walked into the kitchen, Ichigo turned around and greeted her.
(A/N: He's in the kitchen because Ichigo is a clueless boy and could not find the door =P)
"Konnichiwa" he greeted with a grin on his face
"Konnichiwa my ass! Just get out of here already. Your such a handful!" she grumbled
They walked to the front door where Urahara stood holding Ichigo's bag.
"You guys argue like a married couple" Urahara pointed out as he handed Ichigo his bag.
"SHUT UP URAHARA! And take that stupid smirk off your face strawberry!"
Turning around Ichigo had a smirk on his face and winked at Rukia.
"Just leave already, I don't want to have to see that stupid smirk of yours ever again" she said more calmly as she tried to hide her blush 'is it just me or did that idiot just wink at me? I really hope Urahara didn't see that or else he'll keep bugging me about it.' Ichigo had already started walking, Urahara and Rukia stood at the front door watching him.
"You want a ride?" Urahara yelled.
Turning around Ichigo replied
"Nah, it's alright. I know how to get home from here, it's not too far away."
"Ok, if you say so. Mata ne!"
"Ya, see you" Ichigo said as he waved goodbye. "Thanks for all your help!"
Walking home Ichigo had been thinking about Rukia 'man, she's one tough midget, I wouldn't want to pick a fight with her. Hopefully I won't be seeing her anymore, I've already gotten on her bad side, that's for sure. But she's so cute when she's mad, so small yet has a glare that would even scare a man…..wait, did I just call her cute? Does she feel the same way about me?' He stopped his tracks as Urahara's words echoed in his head "Rukia's uniform was ripped and full of blood…."
"No, she possibly can't!" Ichigo yelled. People walking by had started giving him weird looks. Looking down on the ground Ichigo kept walking pondering. 'Urahara could've easily mistaken what he saw, he just seems like that kind of guy.' 'But why would he say it so seriously, and what happened in Rukia's past?' he thought in the back of his mind. 'Why am I even worrying about this, I won't even be seeing her anymore. Pushing the thoughts of Rukia aside Ichigo thought of two things. Get home, do homework, actually, more like catch up on homework. Walking up to his door step Ichigo turn the knob and walked in.
"I'M HO-" he got cut off from a kick to his face that sent him flying against a wall.
"WHAT THE HELL DAD! Is that any way to welcome your own son!"
"No it isn't, but it's your fault."
"My fault? Well then I'm sorry that I have a crazy father that thinks he's in grade school!"
Grabbing his bag Ichigo stomped up the stairs. When he reached the top he heard his father call to him.
"Hey Ichigo, I received a call from your school saying you weren't there. Would you mind telling me why?"
"Something came up..." Ichigo replied as he walked to his door and stared at the '15' on it 'stupid midget, I was too busy thinking about her I forgot to think of an excuse'. Slowly, he reached for the knob but was interrupted by a punch to the face and went flying to the end of the hall. In front of him stood his father.
"Was this something by any chance a….girl?" he asked with a smirk on his face. Seeing Ichigo's reaction he started speaking nonesense.
"Oh, I'm going to be a granddad, what about the wedding we need to pick out clothes….." his father said gleefully
"Stupid perverted father" Ichigo cussed under his breath.
"I ALREADY TOLD YOU! Something came up!" Ichigo yelled as he kicked his father back down the stairs. Running his hands through his hair Ichigo growled in frustration. He picked up his bag and went in his room. He threw his bag on his chair and slumped down on his bed. 'ugghh, this day is getting worse by the minute! I guess I'll just take a shower, do some homework and go to bed early.' With that in mind Ichigo went to take a shower. Turning the tap on he took off his clothes and went in.
"Stupid father, he seriously needs to grow up…" he mumbled to himself. Sighing Ichigo thought of his homework and teachers. Their words echoed in his head, "If you want to get A's then you'll have to do an outstanding job on your tests, homework and do extracurricular…." Trying to calm down from all the stress Ichigo let the warm water go down his body and down the drain, hoping it would take his stress with it. Once he was calmer he washed up, got out, and dried up. Wrapping the towel around his waist Ichigo got out of the bathroom and went into his room to get changed. He got changed into a comfortable shirt that had 'Speaking is NOT Communicating' and sweatpants. He took out his books and tried to decide what to do first. 'What should I start with?' Ichigo asked himself as he scanned the books placed on his desk. 'Math, socials, science, English…..' Ichigo sighed, 'I guess I have to start with English, it's the one I'm most behind in.' Picking up the book for English, he started reading. Slowly getting tried Ichigo fell asleep with the words 'sacrificed death' stuck in his head from the book.
"Ichigo, Ichigo, Ichigo where are you?"
6 large men stood in front of the lady.
"Hey guys, let's continue what we were going to do to that kid on this lady."
"No, no, nooo!"
Ichigo woke up eyes wide open full of fear and worry.
"Argg, why 'that' nightmare and why 'that' person?"
Rubbing his temples Ichigo tried to forget the nightmare. Looking over at his alarm clock it read 12:15. 'I guess I fell asleep reading the book for English.' Walking towards his door Ichigo went downstairs, he took a cup from the cupboard and opened the tap. He waited for the water to get cold and put his cup under the tap. Waiting for his cup to fill up. Ichigo thought about the nightmare only to have his thoughts broken by the cold water trickling down his arm. The cup had been overflowing. Turning off the tap Ichigo drank some water and made his way back upstairs to his room. Finishing his water Ichigo put the empty cup on his desk and went to back to sleep.
