Ichigo rolled over again. He couldn't sleep. His mind kept wondering towards what happened.
Flash Back
The blue haired man punched the leader in the face. He stumbled back holding his nose ad blood gushed out. A guy with wavy brown hair worked on taking out the rest of the followers and two more stood in front of Ichigo and the pink haired man as a shield. One was a girl with long blond hair and the other was a short man with shoulder length black hair.
"Ouch." Ichigo jerked away and looked at the pink haired man beside him.
"Sorry." He pushed gently down Ichigo's bruised chest.
The blond haired girl scanned the ground close to them looking for any movement and at the sight of any she would knock the follower out. Ichigo sighed he got messed up in something he didn't even mean to. He closed his eyes and rested his head on the wall behind him.
"Look out!"
Ichigo didn't even have time to open his eyes when a searing pain shot through his upper arm. Ichigo watched as both the blond and pink jumped into action. The blond knocked the knife out of the man's hand and kicked him in the stomach before smashing her knee into his face. Once the man was down Ichigo turned his head to the pink haired man who was now applying pressure to stop the bleeding.
"What's wrong?" the blue haired guy called out after he sunk his knee in the leader's stomach.
"Nothing."
The blue haired guy grunted and dropped his elbow down onto the leaders back. The leader tumbled to the ground and didn't get back up. Running a hand though his blue hair the man made his way over to them.
"I thought you said it was nothing!"
Flash Back End
Ichigo sat up in his bed and pulled off the bandage and winced. He gently probed the skin around the wound. It wasn't big only about three inches long. The pink haired man stitched it up then gave him a lecture on how to keep it clean. Ichigo knew his dad would give him another one when he got home.
"Ichi-nii we're home!"
Ichigo rolled off his bed and went to the bathroom. He turned the taps on and looked in the mirror. He washed the blood off his face from his split lip and couldn't help but poke at the black eye that was forming. Lifting his shirt he groaned at the two large bruises that began to form across his abdomen. He dropped his shirt and finished washing up. Combing his fingers through his hair he left the washroom and went to see his sisters.
"Ichi-nii what happened?" Yuzu was a small soft hearted girl with light brown hair.
"Don't worry Yuzu they won't bother me anymore. Some people showed up and helped me." Ichigo nodded to his other sister Karin. She had black hair and loved to play soccer.
They were twins but looked nothing alike and acted nothing alike. Yuzu loved to cook and after their mother died she took over the role of cooking and cleaning. Karin was a tom boy she loved to play sports and soccer was her favorite.
"But Ichi." Yuzu pouted.
"It's nothing bad." He patted her head.
"ICHIGO!" Ichigo sighed and moved out of the way as their father crashed into the wall.
"Stupid goat man! What happened if you hit one of the girls?!"
"I would never!" the man pulled himself off the ground.
"You almost hit me the other day." Karin flipped through the channels on the TV.
"OH MISAKI I ALMOST HURT ONE OF OUR PRESIOUS GIRLS!"
"Shut up you hit me all the time!"
Ichigo kicked his father as the man cried next to the giant picture of his wife. Ichigo wince when he pulled on his bruise. The man stopped and stood up he looked his son over.
"What happened?" he lifted Ichigo's chin.
"A gang jumped me on my way home. I kicked most of their asses, but one got an upper hand. Before anything happened a group of people came and helped." His dad lifted his shirt and looked at his arm.
"You even have stiches." The man looked the over. "Who did them?"
"One of the guys had pink hair and he fixed me up."
"These are great."
"Wash up it's almost time for dinner." Yuzu called.
Ichigo pulled away from his dad to wash up
Ichigo tried not to bump into people in the hall way on his way to class. His arm burned with revenge for sleeping on it. The class slowly began to pour in. no one really seemed to care. Ichigo pulled out his books with his good arm and set them on the desk before him. When the bell finally rang Ichigo took note that Nel wasn't there. By forth block Ichigo was ready to go home and sleep. He was coming back from the washroom when he saw a group of guys surrounding a girl. Normally Ichigo wouldn't have bothered because being in a new school and all, but a flash of green caught his eye.
"What are you doing?" Ichigo walked over to them. They moved apart and Ichigo saw Nel. She didn't look too happy so Ichigo assumed they weren't friends.
"What do you want carrot top?"
"Don't Ichigo." Nel shivered.
"Oh so your name means strawberry? Maybe we should call you berry instead." They all laughed.
Ichigo hated it when people called him that. He tapped the one who talked on the shoulder. When he turned Ichigo punched him square in the face. The guy's friends held him up as he clutched his nose.
"Don't fucking call me that!" Ichigo shouted and glared.
One of the guys grabbed his injured arm where the stiches were. Ichigo grimaced but held on. Another guy punched him in the stomach. Ichigo felt more pain from the bruising then the hit itself. The guy holding his arm jerked him back into a straight position. Ichigo could feel tears building at the feeling of his stiches rip.
"Stop it!" Nel yelled out but not before Ichigo got a few good hits to the face.
"What's going on?" a teacher came over.
"If you want to talk to my brother then talk to him yourself." Nel ignored the teacher.
The guys grunted and shoved Ichigo to the ground. Nel glared at them and went to help him up.
"You okay?" she crouched down and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah." Ichigo did the mistake of leaning back onto his hurt arm.
"Did they cut you?" Nel placed her hand over the growing blood stop.
"No I got it from a fight yesterday."
"Come to my place. I have someone who could fix that."
Ichigo looked at her then sighed. He nodded and Nel smiled. She and helped him to stand back up before they left both ignoring the teacher.
"Come on." She held out her hand as they made it up the walkway.
"I'm not a kid Nel. So why weren't you at school?"
"Oh my brother got into a fight as I had to watch him." She opened the door. "You can sit in the living room while I go make the call."
Ichigo looked around the small house. An archway led to the kitchen and just outside it was a table surrounded by chairs. A hallway led to the back and past the stairs to go up. Turning to his left he passed under the archway into the living room. There were no pictures the walls were bare and the room was simple. It held a few couches and end tables a coffee table in the middle and a stereo along the wall with a TV.
"Hey Nel you home?"
"Yeah Grimm." Nel came in and sat beside him. The sound of footsteps could be heard. "You shouldn't be up." She yelled.
"I'm hurt not dying." The voice was closer.
Nel stood up and left Ichigo ran his hands over each other. The sound of water running and glass being moved drifted in. Ichigo recognized the voice but he couldn't put a name or face to it. It made him nervous thinking it might be someone from yesterday. He wasn't in the mood to get hit again. Nel came back and sighed.
"Take off your jacket before the blood dries." Ichigo shrugged it off and Nel pushed up his sleeve.
"You have a friend over?"
"You could say that." She looked at Ichigo and smiled.
"It's not another fuck buddy is it?" the sound of glass landing softly on metal made its way to Ichigo's ears.
"No I tried but he turned me down." Ichigo shifted his gaze from the door to Nel who winked at him. The doorbell went off. "Grimm can you get that?"
"sure." Ichigo could hear the door opening and people moving closer. It made him nervous not knowing who it was.
'Maybe I should run…to late' Ichigo watched as a blue haired man came into view.
"So why are you here?"
"Your sister called me."
Ichigo knew the blue hair from last night but he never thought it was Nel's brother.
"YOU!" the guy shouted when he saw him.
