Ichigo groans and shifts. He slowly sit up, his temples throb in pain. He cracks open his eye, a blinding ray of light forcing him to close his eyes. He winces in pain, rubbing his eyes. He cracks them open again, and notices dark brown eyes. He jerks back with a hoarse cry. His head flares in pain and his back arched he grips his head. Something bumps into his head and he looks up, face twisted up in pain. A massive jaguar stares at him with wide brown eyes. Ichigo scuttles away.
"Pantera!" A deep calls. It sounds far away. The jaguar rumbles and turns. It hops off the bed and scampers out the room. Ichigo looks around. The room is mostly bare save for the bed, dresser, and nightstand. Ichigo slowly climbs out of the bed, noticing he is sweatpants and a shirt.
"You bastard! Gimme back my wallet!" A shrill, watery voice screeches. Sly laughter soon follows and Ichigo exits the room, only to enter a small hallway that has another door on the left that leads into a bathroom. He looks down, the laughter and shouting louder. He heads to the stairs, wincing and holding his head with a hand. He uses the wall as support. He ambles forward, hearing voices. Many voices and it puts Ichigo on end. He slowly walks down the stairs, trying to be silent. He plops down on the bottom step and peers around the corner. A massive room open ups before him. Door are open on the opposite wall, and as far as Ichigo can see there are four doors. Three bedrooms and one full bathroom. Right next to him, leading down, is another staircase. Most likely leads to the basement. the room is a living room and kitchen combined. Nine people mill around. Two women and seven men. Three of the men Ichigo have seen before.
There is a black haired man with pasty white skin and large green eyes. His face is blank and he is dressed in gothic clothing. He is at the table with a computer in front of him. Next to him is a pink haired man with amber eyes, pale skin, and is dressed in dark navy scrubs with a lab coat on. He pushes white framed glasses up on his thin nose and purses his lip. He glares at a super tall man with shaggy black hair, a bandana over his right eye and his left is a steel grey He grins widely. He is dressed in jeans and a shirt. Zangetsu punches Shinso's shoulder, scowling a they stand by the sink. The blue haired man sighs and shakes his head. The two women sit on the couch, between them is a brown haired man with grey eyes, tan skin, and a lean build. He closes his eyes, slouching. He is dressed in sweatpants and a sweater. On his left is a green haired women with silver-wheat colored eyes, tan skin, and a busty build. She is dressed in a green dress. She pulls her hair back. On the right is a blonde with ice green eyes, warm brown skin, and in her hair is three braided locks that are longer than the rest of her hair. She is dressed in cargo shorts and a tank top that frame her curvy build. Ichigo shifts, trying not to be noticed, but that is hard when a jaguar suddenly appears in your face.
Ichigo jerks back, trying to shoo the large feline away silently, but the blue haired man spots him. Ichigo gulps and shrinks in on himself. Everybody stop and looks his way. Ichigo turns and scuttles up the stairs, the jaguar follows him. Ichigo hisses at it, but it only stares at him with wide eyes. Ichigo makes it to the top, and he is happy….until he is lifted up by his waist. He flails and screams.
"Knock it off! I'm not going to hurt-ow!-you!" A deep voice snaps. Ichigo freezes, head flaring up in pain. Ichigo moans and goes limp. He tries to wiggle his arms out so he could rub his head, but the thick arms around him hold him in a vise like grip.
Ichigo wiggles some more, scowling. "My head hurts!"
"Well, then stop!" That deep voice snap. Ichigo turns his head to see the blue haired man. He gives Ichigo a dark look. Ichigo frowns and scowls at him. He is set down, but a heavy hand is placed on his shoulder. Ichigo is guided semi-roughly down the stairs and towards the bathroom. Everybody watches them. Ichigo growls at the other people as they stare. The man behind him sighs. Ichigo grumbles and crosses his arms over his chest. He is pushed into the bathroom. The man slips by him and opens the medicine cabinet up. He grabs out a small cup and a bottle of painkillers. He fills the cup and hands both the cup and bottle to Ichigo. Ichigo takes them happily. He sets the cup down on the small beauty table right beside him and opens the bottle. He shakes out two pills and sets the bottle down. He puts the pills into his mouth and grabs the water. He tilts his head back, the water filling his mouth and he swallows, the pills going down with the water.
Ichigo sets the now empty cup down and sighs. "Thank you," He says softly.
The blue haired man nods, and smirks ferally.
"Now, lemme introduce ya to my family," he says, grabbing Ichigo's arm and dragging him, uncaring of the open bottle of painkillers left behind. Ichigo protests loudly, trying to get away. He just wants to leave and find Renji and Rukia before they freak, if they are not already. Ichigo doesn't like this all. These people seem different. The pink haired man stares at him with searching eyes. Ichigo shivers, trying to edge away. Suddenly he is being pulled away from the leader of these guys and is face to face with the man that looks like him. They stare, and then scowl.
"He looks like me!" Zangetsu says, glaring at Ichigo, who glares right back.
"I think we have noticed," the black haired, emo kid says, giving Zangetsu a bland look.
"I don' like it," Zangetsu snaps.
"Calm down. I am sure there is a reason for this," Shinso says. Zangetsu is smacked upside the head by the blue haired man. He grabs Ichigo by the scruff of his shirt. Ichigo is pulled away from the man.
"Okay guys, chill out," the boss says. Everybody goes silent.
"Tell him our real names. He will trust us more," the pink haired man says, nose in the air. The boss nods and points.
"Pink haired fairy is Szayel. He is our medic and scientist. Emo is Ulquiorra. He is our main hacker and informer. Tall lanky guy is Nnoitra. He is a fighter and patrols our border. Nel is the green haired one. She helps Hallibel, the blonde, with getting us weapons and they specialize in weapons and figuring out which weapon is best for each member. Starrk is the lazy man between those two and he is another fighter, but he deals with our canine unit and keeping track of the illegal things in the city so we can monitor them. Shiro is the white bastard that looks like you. He is our torturer and one of the best fighters. Next to him is Gin. He is our spy and knows more than most people. I am Grimmjow. I run this gang," The blue haired man says.
Everybody waves. "Oi! Don' ferget 'bout Shinji! He is a small blonde with a grin like Nnoi's. He is a talker an' likes ta befriend anybody. Crazy too, but jus' 'bout everybody here is crazy," Shiro says.
Grimmjow grumbles.
"Oh yes, Nnoi an' Shin are together. Hall, Nel, and Stark are together. Shiro is all mine! Boss already says ya will be in his room, the only room upstairs!" Gin muses, leaning forward. Ichigo scowls, hands clenched into fists. He is ready to punch this man. Ichigo does just that, thinking it is a good idea. Gin quickly pulls away, still smiling like mad. Ichigo frowns, upset he didn't hit the other man. Shiro quickly gets in his face again, grinning like an insane mad man. Ichigo thinks Shiro is mentally unstable.
"What's yer name?" He asks, yet there is something strange in those inverted eyes.
"Why should I tell you?!" Ichigo snaps.
"His name is Ichigo. He just moved here. No special record or anything," Ulquiorra says.
Ichigo reaches out and grabs a pillow off the couch that is right next to him. He throws the pillow at Ulquiorra. Nnoitra grabs the pillow before it can hit Ulquiorra. Ichigo glares at them both. He huffs and crosses his arms over his chest. The jaguar, Pantera, saunters up. Ichigo twitches away. Grimmjow raises an eyebrow.
"Oh yes, and the house-cat! Pantera. She is also our guard animal. She don't bite unless you make her," Grimmjow chirps.
"That thing is a big feline that could eat me!" Ichigo screeches.
"She hasn't yet," Grimmjow pointed out. Ichigo frowns at him. He grumbles and glares at his feet.
"Does anybody here own a phone?" He then asks, at least hoping to try and call Rukia to give her an update. Grimmjow holds out his phone. Ichigo swipes the smartphone and hurries away, quickly dialing Rukia's number. He presses the phone to his ear as he climbs up the stairs, his breath stuck in his throat as he waits. Three rings go by and Rukia finally answers.
"Hello, this is Rukia. How may I help you?" Rukia greets warily.
"Rukia!" Ichigo breathes out, entering the bathroom on the second story and slamming the door shut. He locks it just as Rukia gasps.
"Ichigo?!" She breathes. "I thought you were dead! Are you okay? Did they hurt you? Where are you?!"
"Rukia chill out. I am fine. I have no idea where I am at though. I was taken by one of the gangs. I have no idea where I am at. I think I am in their main building. I wasn't awake when they brought me here. I was knocked out," Ichigo quickly explains, turning on the sink.
"Is this the gang that killed the businessman?!" Rukia gasps.
"Yup," Ichigo sighs.
"Okay, give me a name of the gang and I will do some research. Try to figure a way out so Renji can give you your phone that you left here," Rukia says.
"Okay. One of the gang members is Shiro," Ichigo says. He hangs up and turns off the water. He presses his ear to the door, listening for somebody on the other end.
"He sure is smarter than we thought. He could be a spy for Aizen," A smooth voice mumbles. A deep sigh follows.
"No. Aizen only hires monsters. This kid isn't a monster. If he was, he would have attack Gin and Shro in a more brutal and frenzied style," Grimmjow mumble. Ichigo holds his breath.
"True, but Aizen is smart and likes to think of everything as a pawn," Ulquiorra mumbles.
"Besides, Szayel said he found an orange feather by the boy hours before he awake."
"Could that mean…"
"Yes. I should have known they would be here. I forgot they still send people," Grimmjow growls
They walk away and Ichigo slips into the hallway. He yelps when somebody lifts him up and slings him over a bony shoulder. Eerie chuckles fill his ears and Ichigo turns to see a head of silver. Ichigo growls. Gin only smiles, and saunters on. He dumps Ichigo into the large recliner chair. Ichigo growls a Pantera lays down across his lap. Shiro points and laughs. Ichigo growls, bristling, as he glares at the man. Gin holds up Grimmjow's phone. "Ya sure are smart, Strawberry," Gin hums.
"I like to careful. Learned that from my insane father. Yet I am sure you all are more insane than him!" Ichigo retorts.
Gin pouts mockingly at Ichigo. "Rude," Gin says.
Ichigo uses that moment to snatch the phone. He looks at them before turning away. He sticks out his tongue childishly and texts Renji. He will have to make sure Ulquiorra can't track the text nor find it. Thank god Ichigo is amazing with computers and phones. Once the text is sent, Ichigo sighs dramatically and turns around to give them a sulking look.
"I will need some clothes since ya all kidnapped me," Ichigo says.
Grimmjow sighs. "Gin, Shiro. Go out with him. Make sure he doesn't do anything that would harm my gang and keep a close eye on him," Grimmjow orders.
The two men salute and then grab Ichigo under his arms and drags him out. Ichigo struggles for a moment before giving up and walking beside them. Gin and Shiro loop their arms through his and Ichigo gives the air in front of him a disgruntled look. Shiro snickers. Ichigo turns to glare at the man that could be either a clone or twin of his. Yet that would be impossible. He was the only child from his mother who died at childbirth. He has two twin half sisters, but that is it. He would know if he has a twin and he does not. His father would never lie about a child. Ichigo elbows Shiro in the ribs. Shiro grunts and whines. He scowls at Ichigo, who smirks back at Shiro. Gin pats Ichigo's head. Shiro starts whining at him. Ichigo listens to them bicker. More like Shiro whining at Gin, who only gives Shiro sarcastic and witty comebacks.
They walk a few more blocks before Ichigo drags them into the clothing store he saw, and the one he is making Renji come to. He is gonna hope Renji won't be stupid when he stops by. Ichigo enters the store and looks around. He walks towards the men's section, Shiro and Gin following him. They talk to each other, and it is nothing but babble to Ichigo. Ichigo tunes them out as he looks at pants first. He pages through the pants, grabbed out a few, studies them, and then either puts them back or drapes them over his arm. Gin and Shiro have started to wonder, but not to far. Ichigo looks around, watching a familiar face walk in. ichigo smiles and continues to act normal, looking through the clothes and moving on. Renji walks around at first, trying to act natural before the two change course to brush against each other. Ichigo gets his phone and a simple smile before Renji moves on. Ichigo smiles, happy that for once Renji isn't fucking everything up. Renji grabs a few shirts, then pays and leaves. Ichigo slips his phone into his pocket, knowing full well Rukia would have added some apps to help keep his phone undetectable.
Ichigo moves onto shirts and grabs a few before heading to the small dressing rooms in the back. He looks over his shoulder before entering an open dressing room. He sighs softly and pulls out his phone. He checks his messages. Only one. From Rukia.
'Still researching on the gang, but the boss says to stay and act as a spy in the gang. So those are your new orders.'
Ichigo sighs and pockets the phone.
"Well, it was bound to happen. These guys looked like they didn't want to let me go."
Ichigo stares at himself in the mirror before closing his eyes and smiling humorlessly.
"Oh the way fate works."
