Well, never thought I'll update this fast, so here it is, the Chapter 2!
Enjoy!
Ichigo wanted to bang his head already because of too much pain, not to mention he felt so dizzy and nauseous. He sucked in a deep breath and sunk back on his bus seat, the rough road didn't even help at all. Still, it was dawn and they were finally on their way home.
He looked at his right forearm hastily covered with his hankie which was probably unsanitized. He didn't care though, as long as it stopped the bleeding, it was fine. But he wouldn't dare to say the wound would just close like that, since not only it was throbbing painfully, it also looked bad swollen. Oh well, an animal bite is an animal bite. It could be treated immediately when he went home.
Ichigo groaned as he resisted the urge to fall asleep. Everything felt heavy and hot. His whole body seemed so warm like a fever course running through his veins.
"Damn that wolf..." Unable to held back, sleep and wary overcome him, making his head lolled back.
Little did he know that his seat mate had been watching him a little while ago.
"Kurosaki-kun, we're here..."
Blink. Blink. "Inoue?"
The said girl smiled brightly when he woke up groggily. "We're here, but you're still sleeping so I woke you up." She suddenly frowned and looked worried. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah. I guess. Just tired, that's all." Ichigo looked around and scratched his head. "Maybe we should get out of this bus now. Sorry for the trouble, by the way."
"It's nothing."
Students flooded while stepping out of the vehicle, and going separate ways afterwards. Almost all were talking on their way home with some friends, some went individually and made their way home instantly.
Ichigo bid goodbye to some of his friends and slung back his bag, placing both his hands in his pocket. But when he reached for the right one, he felt his bloodied hankie he thought he used as a bandage folded neatly inside. He instinctively grasp his wound, which was now wrapped with a clean gauze. Not to mention, it felt better now.
Though that was odd, he never asked for a first aid before falling asleep. Which means... somebody bothered to nurse it for him.
Hmmm, probably the orange-haired girl since she was the worry wart type.
But her seat was too far from him, and the nearest one was...
Ishida.
Ichigo groaned at the thought. "Probably, Inoue. Yes, that's more possible."
Ishida sat on top of his bed. He was worried since lately. If what Ichigo said was true, then how did it happened? What if it was some kind of unencountered wild animal had bitten him that has a poisonous venom or some sort of rabbies that could kill him in an instant?
He sighed. Why was he worried, anyway? He probably even had no idea that he was the one who treated his wound while he was fast asleep.
Maybe he just pitied him after the other has lost his powers.
Yes, he only felt sympathic for his classmate. Nothing more.
After Ichigo settled for bed, he was overwhelmed immediately with dreams. More like nightmares, actually.
Black, it was all black and darkness Ichigo never imagined before. His body was so warm, so warm that it was so scalding. He wondered what was happening, because he never dreamed like that before. He was all alone by himself and crouching there in unbearable pain. And then he saw those eyes again...
The eyes of the mysterious wolf that had once stared at him.
Hey, sorry if this is shorter than the last chappie, but don't worry, I'll make it longer next time.
Review much appreciated!
