New girl in neighborhood!
Ichigo and Keigo were greeted with a scene of a worker, pinned under a trunk. His leg is twisted in a way that both the legs are heading the same direction. "Are you ok, mister?" Keigo asked as Ichigo moved the trunk from his leg. "I don't know I can't feel my leg. Can you please hurry? I am dying here." Ichigo ignore the comment and lifted the trunk with his full strength, straining as he do so. "That's some heavy trunk. What kind of junks are in there anyway?" he mumbled as he messaged his back after letting the trunk slip down to the road with a loud thud. The middle aged man with black short hair stood up, holding onto Keigo's hand. "Thank u. I need to get to the hospital." He said, grimacing from pain as he limped toward the truck. "Yeah, we…" "What happened?" a shout came out of the house and soon their brown haired sensei run out followed by a short girl behind her.
"A trunk falls onto him. I think his leg is broke." Keigo said as the man groaned. Ichigo just stood beside them in silence with his hands tucked in his pockets as the teacher walked to them. "Keigo? Ichigo? What are you two doing here?" Misato asked pushing her glasses up her nose as she looked at two of her students. "We were just walking pass here and we heard the accident, so come to help." Keigo explained with his face shining with pride. Ichigo scoffed under his breath and rolled his eyes as Keigo goes on about the accident, in detail.
His attention was drawn to the short black haired girl standing behind Misato sensei. She seemed to be new because he had never seen her around here, but then again he had never been good at remembering people, so maybe it was just he didn't notice her before. She had big dark blue eyes with dark hair that fall around her small face and to make it even tiny, there is a stand of hair fall between her eyes. Ichigo thought how she could stay with that stand of hair between her eyes. Doesn't it itch? Unconsciously he scratched his nose, as the thought start to make him itchy.
She wore a plain white dress and sandals on her feet, he had never seen someone that small before. His examination was interrupted as he met the girl's glaring eyes. He cleared his throat and turned his attention to Misato sensei and Keigo. "Thank god that you two were here. I was busy in the back, unpacking the stuffs, I didn't hear it. I will call for an ambulance right away. Wait here. Rukia, can you stay with them? I left my cell phone inside." "Yes, go ahead." The girl replied with her hands crossed over her chest.
Misato sensei runs back to the house, quite uncharacteristic for a teacher. "Hi, are you new here? I haven't seen you before. I am Keigo Asano." Keigo greeted as the girl stood before them. The girl smiled shyly and tucked a stand of hair behind her ears and said with a small voice. "Yes, Nice to meet you, Asano kun. I…I am Rukia Ochi. I just moved in from out of town." Ichigo frowned as he watched the girl shyly smile and bowed lightly. There is something wrong with this scenario, he thought. She was glaring at him a while ago like a wolf and now, she is all girly and shy?
Keigo the idiot was flabbergasting on and on about how nice it is to meet her and how the weather is fine today. Goofy, creep. He thought to himself and sighed. "And who are you?" Rukia asked softly, batting her lashes at him. Ichigo felt a shiver run down his spine and cringed back a little. "Kurosaki Ichigo." He replied with a fake cough. She smiled widely and clapped her hands together. "Nice to meet you too, Kurosaki kun. I heard you both go to Karakura high, is that right?" "Yeah, we both go there. Are you going there too?" Keigo asked pushing Ichigo out of his way so he could stand in front of Rukia.
Ichigo frowned annoyingly and turned his back at them, ignoring the shrieks and skin crawling laughter from those two. What a troublesome day this is. I should have stayed at home. He thought as he looked up the clear boring blue sky. "I called the ambulance. They are going to be here in a couple of minutes. Are you ok, mister?" Misato sensei asked as she came back out of the house with a cell phone in her hand. "Yes, yes. I will be ok, I think." The man replied as he looked down at his swollen leg. "Oh, I see, you all have introduced to each other. You guys, this is my niece Rukia. She will be going to our school starting from Monday." She said as Rukia stood beside her in the most creepily lady like way that Ichigo had ever seen. That girl is faking. He thought as he shifted on his feet.
"Well, since you guys are here why don't you…" "No we can't, Misato sensei. We were just headed home. And now that everything is ok here, Keigo and I will go now. Good day, Misato sensei, Rukia." Ichigo interrupted her as he sensed if they don't go now, they will be trapped with this aunt and niece for the rest for evening. "What? Why…we just meet…"Keigo protested but Ichigo grabbed him from his collar and dragged him behind as he quickly walked away from the truck. "Rukia chan…I will see you at school."Keigo still shouted as they crossed the road. "You boys take care. Watch out for cars." Misato sensei shouted back and waved at them. She deserved to be the P.E teacher, with voice loud as that. Ichigo thought as he rubbed his ear.
"Man, Rukia chan is really cute." Keigo said as they walked back to the house. Ichigo closed his eyes and swallowed the urge to strangle him on the road as he has been talking about Rukia this and Rukia that all the way. "She is not Inoue san cute but still, she is cute and lovely." He said cheerfully as he punched his palm. "Whatever. This is my exit. Good bye." Ichigo said and for first time in his life, he was happy to see his house. "Oh, really? Well, I guess I'll say good bye then. See you on Monday, Ichigo." He said as Ichigo headed into the house quickly before he gets another idea. "I'm home." He announced as he closed the door behind him and sighed with relief.
"Ichi….Go…." a shout came out of the house and in a flash his bearded father appeared with his feet aimed at Ichigo's face. He stepped aside and let him hit the door. "Nice, you could avoid Daddy's kick." Isshin said as he stood up and dusted off his doctor coat. "Good, isn't it? So I can do this." Ichigo shouted and throw his fit at his father's face. "Yowww…" Isshin shouted as he fly into the house and landed face first before the stairs. "How dare you attack your own son who had come back from spending such a terrible time outside?" Ichigo shouted his brows twitching as his anger reddened his face. "Can you two, please stop? I am making dinner here. Not to mention we have a guest." Yuzu said as she stood over her groaning father on all fours and pointed the spoon in her hand at Ichigo.
"Who?" Ichigo asked taken by surprise at the word, "guest". They rarely have guests in their house as most of the neighbors know how goofy his father is and well, other legendary Kurosaki traditions. The only people come here often are Ukitake san and his nephew. He thought to himself as headed to the kitchen, walks pass his still groaning father. "My own sonnn…growing up…Mother, are you proud?" he heard his father idiotically crying out behind him. "Stop it, Dad. Get up and go take a bath. I will make the dinner ready." Yuzu ordered him and followed Ichigo into the room. He spotted a white haired kid sitting on the stool at kitchen counter.
"Oh, it's Toshiro. He is not guest." Toshiro looked at him sternly with his arms crossed and said, "Technically, I am. I don't live in this house." "Yeah, yeah. What are you doing here? Karin is out." Ichigo said as he grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge. "I know. Yuzu told me. We are supposed to do homework together." Toshiro said looking down at his watch. "Well, she will be back soon. You can stay for dinner if you don't mind to watch Kurosaki family's traditional dinner fights. Anyway, I am going to wash up. Today been a very long day." Ichigo mumbles and headed back to his room leaving puzzled Toshiro in the kitchen. "I told you to go wash up, Dad. Stop hugging at mom's poster." Yuzu's tiny voice filled the Kurosaki family house as the evening starting to grow high on the outside.
So Rukia's introduced and Toshiro too appear in this chapter. In next I will continue on another character rather than Just Ichigo. So everyone got a roundabout of all the characters.
