Ichigo and the Big Bad Wolves :Part I
Once upon a time in a little village there lived a young boy with striking red hair, and a more than striking personality. Even so, he was always teased because of the color of his hair, and he had gotten into quite a lot of fights because of it.
10 year old Ichigo was tired and would always run away into the woods to rid himself of the teasers.
One particular day as he ran in to the woods he accidentally ran into someone or something. "O-ouch" he said holding his pounding head and looked down at who he was sitting on.
"Watch were you're goin-" the one under him looked up at him with wide eyes. "I-I'm sorry!" Ichigo hopped off of what he thought was another boy.
What he saw was a half wolf, half human being. He was quite beautiful actually. Pale skinned, dark haired, bright eyed boy. "Oh~", he said out loud in surprise.
"Oh to you too" chuckled the wolf boy. He reached up with his clawed hand to touch the magnificent red hair, and he touched the bruise on the other boys cheek. "Does it hurt?" he asked.
Still staring at the wolf it took him a while to register what he was saying. "No-no…I've been beaten up so many times that…", Ichigo looked down at the wolf who was staring at him
looking as if he were about to cry. "I'm so sorry" the wolf boy caressed the red head's cheek carefully. Leaning into his hand Ichigo smiled and then shrank away. What was he doing? This
creature…what was he. "W-what are you?", Ichigo asked, not meaning for it to sound so rude. "I'm a human, and what are you?" the
boy smiled.
"I'm a human too" Ichigo laughed. They both laughed. "My name is Ichigo", the red headed boy put his hand on the wolf spirit's paw. "That's such a pretty name", the wolf said.
"What's yours?" Ichigo asked his back brown eyes getting big. This took the other boys breath away. For a human he thought he was exceptional. "Uryuu" he whispered. He felt an urge to
inch closer to this boy and kiss him on his cheek.
Ichigo glanced to the side and Uryuu took that as a perfect opportunity to lay a peck on the red head's wonderfully soft cheek. "Hey~" Ichigo mumbled touching his face and looking at
Uryuu in question.
"I couldn't resist" Uryuu chuckled, tail swaying from side to side. Ichigo felt tired and saw the sun was going down, it was his time to go home. "I gotta go now" he murmured to his new
friend. "May I walk you home?" Uryuu asked standing up and helping Ichigo to his feet as well. "Won't you get stared at?", Ichigo asked pointing at his ears and tail.
"Y-YOU CAN SEE THEM?" Uryuu yelled attempting to hide his ears with his paws.
"Well, yes!" Ichigo said raising his eyebrow. "No one is supposed to see my true form!" he said. "I noticed it the first time I saw you," Ichigo said. "What are you really?".
Uryuu sighed. "I'm a wolf", he said. "What? Wolves are extinct!" Ichigo said surprised.
Uryuu pushed up his glasses and said nothing, he just patted his wolf tail on Ichigo's leg.
"Shall I walk you home then?" he asked. "O-okay," Ichigo chirped. Uryuu didn't know how this boy could see him, but he found it quite strange.
Soon they arrived at Ichigo's little cottage where he lived with his dad and 2 little sisters.
"Thank you for the walk home", he said quite grateful and blushing. "Ichigo…" Uryuu then grasped his hands. Ichigo looked at him with those big brown eyes he fell instantly in love with. "If
your ever in trouble…just call my name, and I'll come to you", he only just met this child and knew him for a few hours, but he felt a strong urge to protect him. He seemed special.
"Okay" Ichigo said, his eyes searching the other. "Thank you Uryuu" he waved before opening the door to his cottage. The little wolf smiled. "I'll see you again someday", he said before
running back off into the woods.
Eight long years passed, Ichigo had went from a young boy to a man.
With age, his hair seemed to have had grown brighter, more vibrant, and unlike when he was a child. People loved him now. Admired him. He had grown to be a wonderful citizen of the
village, helping when he could and handing out justice whenever it was needed.
He had become the local vigilante in the village. Known as 'Red'.
Donning a red cape and hood to hide his hair and face, he would give punishment to those who deserved it.
Ichigo's family were the only ones to know of his secret vigilante life and they were equally worried for him. Especially his two young sisters.
One night Ichigo prepared to go out. His sister Yuzu, who also had equally beautiful brown eyes looked upon him worried. "Why don't you stay home this evening" she said holding onto his
sleeve, looking up at him. His eyes looked down upon her worried little face. He bent down onto his knees to be on her level. "Yuzu, you know I must go" he said squeezing her shoulders.
"But-but brother! Please don't, I had a horrible dream last night!" she cried crashing her damp eyes onto his chest. He held her whispering reassuring words while rubbing her back. "I
promise Yuzu, I'll be extra careful tonight" he whispered. She looked up, rubbing her teary brown eyes. "I don't want you coming home bruised up like the last time!" she warned. "Okay"
he smiled warmly ruffling her wheat colored hair as he stood up to his full height.
He put his hood on and winked at her. "Now, go back to sleep little lady" he said before leaving out the door.
Ichigo stepped quietly on the grass, his whole body alert as he attempted to find any crime happening in the late hours.
He ran swiftly behind walls and bushes when he suspected anything. But tonight it seemed, there was nothing. He sighed happily as he made the decision to cut this night watch early
since nothing was going on until he heard a scream. He turned quickly around and tried to find the source. He almost wished the one in danger could scream again so he could accurately
find them, and as if on queue they did. He turned a corner of a cottage and ran, he ran quite far to the woods that he was so familiar with. He heard another heart wrenching scream and
took a deep breath. He had never been into these woods at night before. "I'm sorry Yuzu, but I have to put myself in danger" he thought and ran in, his cape flapping wildly behind him.
When he went in he heard more screams, closer this time. He passed a big willow tree and several other trees, branches and bushes until he came to a clearing. Where he saw something
quite terrible.
A young woman in a red dress and cape was on the verge of being attacked by a large white and grey wolf. He frowned. All his life he had been told that wolves had gone extinct, and
twice now he had found a wolf of some kind.
What was this young woman doing out all by herself? So many questions ran through Ichigo's head as he tried to think of an attack strategy. He spotted a basket of goods thrown viciously
behind the wolf and he came up with a plan.
Slowly he crept nearer to the basket until he was close enough to grab it.
The wolf was so hungry and preoccupied with the girl that he did not hear Ichigo slam the wicker basket over his head.
He held it there as the wolf savagely thrashed, growled and clawed his way out.
Ichigo tried holding it with all his might, looking at the girl, he yelled for her to run.
And she did. Leaving Ichigo to handle the monster. When Ichigo thought her far away, he let the basket loose, and jumped far away drawing his dagger.
The wolf shook the basket off and looked at Ichigo with a wolfy grin, then oddly it spoke.
"How dare you interfere, human!" he said. Voice raspy and deep. "An innocent girl was in trouble, so I made it my business to interfere" he said smirking his stance in attack mode.
"So, you must be the one they call 'red'?" The wolf asked. "That would be me" Ichigo answered back slyly. The monster gave a wolfy chuckle. "Oh, when I'm done with you that name will
stand true" he said and lunged at Ichigo, mouth open, ready to bite his head.
Ichigo slashed his dagger in the air and cut the wolf in it's shoulder. It howled in pain as it shrunk back. He growled angrily, it's grey eyes speaking the word 'murder' to Ichigo. But the one
named 'red' was not afraid of such a threat. The wolf made a long howl to the moon and soon several other wolves appeared from the shadows.
Ichigo really said his sorry to Yuzu. He knew he was going to get hurt tonight.
The injured wolf stayed behind as the others circled Ichigo. They growled and snarled livid. Two of the wolves lunged at Ichigo and he could only stop one, while the other bit hungrily into
his shoulder. Drawing lots of blood. Ichigo punched the attacking wolf in the muzzle and stumbled back, holding the shoulder that wouldn't stop bleeding. He slashed his knife but more of
the wolves edged closer and closer to him.
Now he was scared, frightened. He didn't know what to do. Never would he have dreamed to be fighting against all these wolves just to save one woman.
Oh, how he wished he'd listened to his wise young sister.
All this ran across his mind. He stumbled against a nearby tree, hitting it tiredly. He had lost quite a bit of blood from the shoulder wound and was about to give up hope. He then thought
of the other wolf he had met in his life. What was his name? Oh yes, "Uryuu" he whispered. "Uryuu!" he yelled. He remembered the promise the wolf made to made to him when they were
young. If he were ever in trouble, to call his name.
It had been eight long years, the wolf probably had already left the village.
Ichigo felt drowsy and was about to give himself to the hungry dogs when he saw two of them savagely thrown to the side. He tried opening his eyes, but they wouldn't stay open.
The last thing he heard was this, "Ichigo, little Ichigo. I'm here".
Little Ichigo? He wasn't little any more.
'Red' felt something warm, and wet on his shoulder which caused him to wake up abruptly.
He slowly sat up, his body aching all over in what looked like a makeshift bed in the middle of the woods. "How are you?" asked a concerned voice. He looked beside him and saw
shockingly handsome young man, with dark hair and equally dark eyes and glasses. He then noticed his wolf ears and a wagging tail. "Uryuu?" he smiled. "Ichigo, you should know better,
than to go into these woods at night," he peeled back the bandages which consisted of leaves and aloe on Ichigo's shoulder and continued to lick the wound disinfecting it more.
The red head winced not in pain but the strange ticklish feeling he felt when the hot tongue scraped over the raw wound. "A girl was in trouble" Ichigo explained. Uryuu raised a
questioning eye brow. "So you've grown up to be a vigilante I see?"
"I HELP people, it doesn't matter what you call it" Ichigo huffed. "Putting yourself in danger like a shining knight I see" Uryuu continued sarcastically returning to lick the wound clean again.
It still bled just a bit. They were arguing like they knew each other for years yet they didn't. Ichigo shrugged his shoulder away from Uryuu's mouth and stood up only to fall back down. He
was quit dizzy.
"You've lost a lot of blood Ichigo" Uryuu informed holding onto his shoulder.
Ichigo moaned in disapproval. Uryuu stared down at the injured red headed man.
He smiled. He surely was a man, quite different from the boy he met 8 years ago.
Ichigo's cheeks were lightly flushed as he looked up at Uryuu staring back at him.
"See something you like?" he asked jokingly. "Yes actually, I do," Uryuu smiled he leaned down and kissed the flushed cheeks lovingly. "Red is my second favorite color," he whispered.
Ichigo's face became even more flushed as Uryuu's wolf eyes stared of him enamored. "Oh yeah? What's your first?" the wounded man asked wanting to know.
Uryuu made sure the more aloe was placed on the wound. "White" he mumbled. Wincing at the coldness of the gel Ichigo put his shirt back on after Uryuu was done mending the wound.
"I-I need to get home" the injured one attempted to sit up again with great success.
"I'll escort you," Uryuu offered. "No, it's okay I-" Ichigo winched at the horrible pain in his shoulder. How bad was this bite?
"I insist", the wolf 's tail swayed as he spoke. "Alright" Ichigo nodded. He looked down at the wolf's tattered clothes then back up at the man in question. "If there is any, would you like to
stay over for dinner?", the red hooded man asked. "I…would you happen to eat raw meat?" the wolf asked back. Scrunching his nose in disgust Ichigo shook his head. Laughing Uryuu
shrugged. "I will gladly join you if it's no bother". He helped the young vigilante to his feet, draping him in his red hood, and supporting him on his should as they set out to take him back to
his cottage. Ichigo was not excited to hear Yuzu and Karin's disapproving cries when he got home. He knew he wouldn't hear the end of it. "I heard you calling names in your sleep last
night," the young wolf stated as they trekked through the wolves. "Probably my sisters names. I have two" Ichigo said. "Ah, are they as lovely as you?" the wolf wrapped his tail around
the others waist. Ichigo's heart began to race now and his face was almost as red as his hood. He swallowed audibly. "They are quite the c-cuties" he smiled sheepishly. They were silent
the rest of the way there. Uryuu decided to not ask any more questions or flirt with the bashful human as he heard the poor things heart beating against his chest unforgivingy.
Finally they arrived at the small cottage and Ichigo gave his thanks to the wolf.
"Before I go in, I want to tell you something," Uryuu said. "What is it?" Ichigo looked at him in wonder. "Those wolves that attacked you…", Fear suddenly ran across the young man's face.
"They will come back, and I just…" he took the 18 year olds hand in his clawed ones. "I must protect you, they're bad and they will kill you," he said desperately. Squeezing his hand.
"Uryuu…", his eyes grew wide and he then hugged the taller man. "Thank you for saving me" he whimpered he almost felt like crying at what he said.
"I barely know you," he whispered. The wolf smiled as the human nuzzled into him closely into the hug only to be interrupted by a young girls voice. "Ichigo?", the wolf looked down at one
of the cutest humans he'd ever seen in a long time. Ichigo released his friend from the hug. "Karin!"
Tsuara: This was inspired by a fan art I did and vigilante Ichigo is inspired by all the Batman shit I've been reading all this time! XD Did little red grow up and get almost eaten by wolves? Maybe. Part one is over! Part two soon to be up! It's been so long since I've written for fun! Jeez, only in fairytales can you meet someone once and be life-long friends. I'm glad I can get away with that here. Well, hope anyone who's reading this likes it.
After 'Ichigo and the Big Bad Wolves' I'll be doing a IshiIchi version of 'Sleeping Beauty' for you know who out there~ ~_^ Sorry for the long absence but things have been awesome. Going to Japan at the end of August~ wee! I wonder how it'll be like to write fanfics in Japan? Ah, I'm being silly. Anyway, see you all later!
