STORY NAME: BABY PIN
Pairings: Ichigo x Kenpachi (don't like = don't read).
Warnings: some cursing, yaoi.
I don't own anything, Bleach and the characters belong to Tite Kubo. This is just a fanfiction! English is still not my mother language, so there will be mistakes, errors, grammar mistakes and much of it (sorry...).
First of all, than you for the reviews! Especially you, Dreadful Virtue! It's so nice for someone to give such a feedback even I now have pressures... :)
Secondly, sorry it took so long to write this chapter and sorry it is so short... I promise the next chapters will be longer and there will be more action! I know because I've already written some of the next parts. :) But, I hope you like and feel free to review whatever you have to say!

CHAPTER TWO – Dark summer nights
"Reports?" Ichigo frowned. "Oh, come on! I have my summer homework to do and you want me to write reports every week?"
Rukia sighed. She rubbed her forehead as if she would get a headache soon.
"One report every week to captain Unohana about captain Zaraki", she repeated her earlier words, gritting her teeth slightly. "You can give them to me and I send them."
Now even Ichigo was rubbing his forehead. He was not getting a headache but he started to feel depressed as he slowly started to realize that this was exactly how he was going to spend his short summer break: doing summer homework and writing reports about Kenpachi. Ichigo exactly was not that kind of guy who liked to write much anyway so this was...
"Geez, Ichigo", Kon said out loud. "You're really going be his nurse or something like that?"
"I'm going to nurse you down the toilet soon if you won't shut up", Ichigo gave a warning glare to Kon – who actually seemed to enjoy the idea about Ichigo's spoiled summer break.
"Oh, and captain Unohana asked me to tell you something about captain Zaraki now when you have to make sure he eats his medicines", Rukia said. "He – um... can be stubborn, so..."
"Figured", Ichigo sighed.
Ichigo was gloomy. It was nice, sunny day and the rest of Kurosaki family had went to the beach. They had asked Ichigo to come along – but since Kenpachi was supposed to get out from the hospital he could not. Even he had wanted to... He had made some lame excuse about headache and was now extremly sulky about it since he did not even know why he even had to be there. Kenpachi was now "home". He had not said anything to Ichigo, he had mumbled something to captain Unohana – yes, she had been there, but only for a brief moment – and had not even noticed Rukia.
Ichigo had tried to be friendly and had tapped Kenpachi on the shoulder: "See ya tomorrow, then!"
Kenpachi had not said anything. Not even looked at him.
"Curse you Seireitei..." Ichigo growled silently now when they were sitting in his room – once again.
"Actually, you can blame yourself for living next door of that house", Rukia heard him.
"Then, curse you urban planning..."
At that night Ichigo could not sleep. He laid awake in his bed. It felt strange to think that Kenpachi was now living next door. The more bizarre was that he had got mad when Ichigo had inquired him about why he was asinged to Karakura town. I have to ask Rukia about this again... I'm sure she will tell me if I ask her nice enough. At least I hope she will...
Ichigo sighed and sat up ("Geez...") and noticed that there was still lights on in next door. Ichigo could not see trough the curtains but saw light. Why he's up so late? Ichigo looked his alarm clock: 01:25 am.
After walking a circle in his room for about ten minutes Ichigo finally pulled a hat on his head and cursed quietly the whole way to the downstairs and out. He even continued cursing outside, mumbling something about assholes and summer break. He tiptoed closer to one window which he assumed was kitchen window. He could see anything trough the curtains so he tiptoed further – passed the front door – continued his maybe not so wise walk, climbed over a fence – it was not very high so it was easy – and found himself in the backyard of Kenpachi's house.
The backdoor was open when Ichigo tried it. He's too careless... He stepped inside and found himself in the living room. It was slightly bigger than the one in Ichigo's home. Lights were on even they were dim – and Ichigo did not see anyone – or heard, as he tried to listen if he could hear something; steps or -
BANG!
Ichigo felt pain, saw stars and found himself on the floor on his back. There was pulsing pain on his forehead: "Ow ow oww...!"
"Beh", Ichigo heard a familiar voice above him. "And here I was hoping it would be a burgral... I can't beat crap out of you, I would get scolded."
"Kenpachi", Ichigo opened his eyes and saw the taller man standing above him. He had his hair down and had only black sweat pants on (on the side there was blue Puma logo). Ichigo also saw the weapon he had used: a frying pan.
"You bastard", Kenpachi walked back to the kitchen where he had obviously came from. "The hell you're doing sneaking here?"
"I saw lights and was wondering if everything was okay", Ichigo made slight lie.
"I'm fine", Kenpachi threw frying pan to the sink; Ichigo gritted his teeth because of the noise. "Has Kuchiki told you something?"
"Huh? Rukia? No... Why you ask?"
"No reason", Kenpachi shrugged.
"Well, uh... You seem to be fine", Ichigo finally stood up. "Um... how's it going?"
"Fine", Kenpachi took a glass of water. He did not look at Ichigo. Ichigo did not say it aloud but Kenpachi seemed quite depressed. He spoke with a monotonous voice and had blank look in his eyes.
"You know", Ichigo cleared his troath. "I've never been in this house even I live right next door and knew the old lady who used to live here."
Kenpachi did not say anything. Ichigo changed the subject – even though he did not even know why he was still here.
"Can't you sleep?"
"The hell you care about if I sleep or not..."
"It's my job, remember!" Ichigo said.
"I didn't ask you."
"I know, I know..." Ichigo sighed.
Different subject, think about a different subject...
"Um, K-Kenpachi..." Ichigo cleared his troath slightly.
"What?" Kenpachi growled.
"Uh, I've been wondering for a while... Um, everyone else call you captain or Zaraki – like I should too... but how come you've never complained about the fact that I call you Kenpachi? I mean... Byakuya and Mayuri always tell me to show some respect if I forgot their titels."
Kenpachi twitched. Only slightly but Ichigo noticed it. The look on Kenpachi's face turned – somehow really scary and Ichigo swallowed and he shivered: pure rage. That was the expression which was on Kenpachi's face for an eyeblink. He turned his face away from Ichigo: "It's probably because they're both assholes!" he rasped.
"Okay..." Ichigo tried to smile. He did not want to continue this subject – even he did not know what he had done or said to make Kenpachi so... angry. Was he angry to Ichigo or perhaps to someone else? Byakuya perhpas...?
"I... think... I leave you alone now and... come back tomorrow, okay?"
Kenpachi shrugged. Ichigo was just about to leave when he had to stop for a moment: "You sure you don't need anything? You could always take a sleeping pill."
"Stop fussing", Kenpachi actually turned his head so he looked Ichigo straight into eyes for a brief moment. Ichigo blinked: he still had that blank expression in his eyes.
Well, at least he talked to me...
"Okay, see ya tomorrow", Ichigo said, stepped outside and closed the door behind him. Only then he realized that he had used the backdoor again and he had to climb over the fence once more.
He tiptoted back into his room and sighed as he sat down on his bed. He glanced out from the window and saw that there was now fewer lights on in Kenpachi's house. Ichigo did not know what to say or think so he just laid on his back.
Am I this worried about him? Why do I even care so much...? Oh, I would want to know what has happened to him.
Eventually Ichigo finally fell asleep – not knowing how hard the next morning would be...
...
Oh, god, it's short... Well, anyway, next one will be longer and more action (finally!). I can't promise when the chapter three will come out but please be patience. :)
