Having ichigo in the house is a bless. At least for Renji, the boy never made a snarky comment on anything he did. Ichigo help with chores and good at cooking too.
"you saw what Rukia did, didn`t you?" the red haired asked him one day.
Ichigo nodded and slowly munching his toast
"don`t you want to asked something about it?"
"…."
"aren`t you curious?"
"are you the same like her?"
"yes, I am also a vampire"
"but you go out at day"
"because we wear magic accessory to prevent us from burning from the sunlight. Mine is this" he show him a silver chromed ring on his pinky finger "it`s contain a spell done by a witch."
"is that why she wear the sunglasses?"
"no, it`s her bracelet. She wears sunglasses because she`s a bit douchy." He snorts at his own comment. "Some vampires having a physical change when they turns, that`s why she wears the sunglasses, to hide her weird eyes. Also to prevent being hunted by others"
"hunted?"
"not everyone are okay with the presence of vampire you know"
"how old are you?"
"I was 24 years old when I was turned. A hot summer in 1864.. so now I`m… 151 years old"
"How do you know Miss Rukia?"
"you know she`s messing with you with the 'miss' thing right kid? You can call her Rukia. She won`t mind. I`ve known her since 90 years ago. She helped me on my darkest time and kind of healed me"
"how old is she?"
"about 350 years old. She`s around 26 I guess"
"are you going to eat me one day?"
"do you want us to?" Renji raised one eyebrow and Ichigo only shakes his head in fear "relax kid, we have enough blood bag on our storage. I think it`s enough to feed whole city" he chuckles
"what it tasted like?"
"blood bag? It`s like canned food or instant ramen. Not as good as real food but it`s allright ." He wrinkled his nose
"but I saw you two eat pizza. One pan each"
"kid, who could say no to pizza? We can eat human food too you know, unlike blood, they won`t keep us long, eating human food is like eating bag of chips. Only works as snack"
"was daddy are… like you?"
"vampire? No. he`s something else. I can`t tell you that now, not my place anyway"
"what is it like to become vampire?
"we can`t die unless direct sunlight or wooden stalk impaled to our heart. All of our senses are heightened, faster, stronger… but there`s a price to pay"
"how to become a vampire?"
"you have to die with vampire blood in your system. Now finished your breakfast, she`s going to take you to your school" he ushered the boy. Pointing his own ears when Ichigo give him a look "vampire super hearing"
Several years later
"I can`t believe it he`s going to high school today, it feels like yesterday he came to our house and I bought his first clothes… my baby are grown up now" the red haired man sobbing and wiping his eyes with a table cloth when Ichigo walked to the kitchen wearing his new high school uniform
"snap of it you`re embarrassing us both" Rukia cringe at him "kid, you sure you don`t want me to take you to school?" she add facing the boy
"no! I can go myself. Beside going to public school with that fancy car by an older woman is embarrassing"
"and now he`s on his rebellious stage" Renji cries even harder
"did you just say i`m embarrassing you?" rukia smirked amusedly, ignoring the red haired man
"no, not that… it just… I don`t want anyone to see me riding an expensive car on my first day of school." He blushed
"which one is more embarrassing, my fancy car or this grown up crying in front of your school gate?" she pointed Renji with her chin
"I can`t hear you, i`m going to be late, bye" he ignored the question and run away to school
"that kid is getting smarter" she beamed with pride "stop crying, he will help you with house chores when he got back from school. Told him to clean the porch and clean my room. I won`t go home until midnight" she said and put on her sunglasses
"that kid is not your servant"
"he likes doing chores, something you both have in common" and she`s already outside few seconds later ready to leave
A few days later
Ichigo was asleep when Renji went to his room waking him up in panic and horror on his face
"kid, wake up. I need your help"
"what is it?" he answered half asleep
"it`s Rukia, I need your help"
Ichigo couldn`t believe his eyes when they rushed to Rukia`s room to find the woman lied on her bed with dark green exposed wounded flesh oh her right hand. She screams in pain and her body shivered and covered in sweat, gripping sunglasses on her other hand almost broke in half.
"rukia I bought Ichigo here, hold on"
"NO!" she screams and squirmed knocking a glass filled with blood on the night stand
"you have no choice. Drink his blood or you die"
"I said no! i`ll figure something else" her eyes turned red and several green veined appears around his eyes
"kid, I need your blood. Just few drops. Come here help me"
"I kill you if you come closer Ichigo!" she snarl
"what happened?" ichigo sacredly took few steps back
"she got bit by werewolf and I need few of your blood. Please help her" Renji pleaded and pinned the woman underneath him
"DON`T YOU DARE ICHIGO! I`M NOT LETTING YOU NEAR ME!" she screamed louder
Ichigo looked scared but without thinking he grab the shattered glass under the nightstand and begin to slice a narrow cut on his own wrist. Rukia who are getting pale and almost green can`t control herself and drawn to the smell of the tangy fresh blood. She inhaled the blood and finally she stabbed her fang on the wrist sucking more blood. Ichigo wince and hissed when the fang made contact with his skin. it feels weird and uneasy feeling your own blood flows and dripping on the sheet under them. He glance at the scar on rukia`s hand, the dark green flesh slowly turn red again and the opened wound begin to close itself.
"Rukia that`s enough" Renji voice wakes him on his train of thought "Rukia stop!" Renji pulled Ichigo`s hand and separate the two, staining few more drops of blood on the sheets. "here kid, take this" he bite his own hand and feed the boy his blood "relax, you`ll heal in no time" while Rukia laid palely on the bed, green vein slowly fade away from his face
"what is wrong with her?" ichigo asked when he got his voice and sense back
"werewolf bite. Their venom is lethal to vampire. The only cure is to drink your blood"
"but I thought you have blood supply on the storage room"
"your blod is…. Special" Renji hesistate "Now help me look after her. I need to make few calls. I`ll be right back. Can you do it?" the boy nodded and within two seconds the shattered glass and the stained blood sheets were gone replace by fresh linen sheets and a sealed bag of blood were laid on the nightstand "feed her the blood when she wakes up. And It`s normal if she got fever after the bite, so just ignore her mumbles" Renji ordered and flew away
An hour later Rukia weakly opened her eyes, shakily she tried to stand up but failed.
"I don`t think you should move for now" Ichigo help her sit down and offered her the blood bad
"you shouldn`t bleed yourself in front of vampire like that kid" she weakly tore the blood bag with her teeth and sipped the blood
"you were dying" he frowns "beside, you promised my old man to take care of me, how are you going to face him if you were dead today?" he add and pull the blanket closer to her when suddenly rukia grab his hand
"stay"
Ichigo said nothing but he let a thin smiled and watch her sleep, and not for long time he fell asleep on the floor with their hands still tangled together
Few months later
Ichigo work up in the middle of the night felling thirsty, after his short trip to the kitchen he heard a strange voice from Renji`s room. Curious, he tiptoes his way to the room to find it unlocked and showing a glimpse of the inside and he widened his eyes. On the bed he found Rukia sitting on top of the bed riding down her body impaling herself to equally naked red haired man under her. She moans in extacy and stabbing her long neat fingers on both of his shoulders until it`s bleeding only to heal in no time and leaving a trails of dried blood on his skin. she quicken her move, to let a final sigh hair drenched in sweat and glowing under the light. Ichigo couldn't blink at the sight and like any normal 13 years old teenagers could think of, he rushed back to his room and wrapped himself with the blanket. Forcing himself to sleep unable to forget the image how beautiful Rukia was when she glowed and writhing under the bright light. And by the next morning, Ichigo woke up with uneasy feeling and caught himself trapped on sticky situation between the sheets.
