A/N Edward can't read Ichigo's mind like others. Ichigo is a mental mute like Bella.
CHAPTER 3: So, You're…
I awoke in a hospital bed…but I wasn't in a hospital. The walls were light and it felt like I was in someone's house. Wait, I was in someone's house. The only thing I remembered was a throbbing pain in my head.
"Ouch…"I said groggily as I put a hand to my head, an automatic response. Someone was whispering softly to another in the room.
"He's awake! Can you read his mind yet?" A soft whisper of a girl came from not too far beside me.
"You're finally awake..." I heard a soft but stern voice say to me. Where the hell was I?
Surprised, I jumped off the hospital bed and whipped the zangetsu off my back.
"Relax, not like I'm going to kill you or anything. "Something about this sentence made him chuckle softly to himself.
"If you don't mind me asking," the pale man asked me, raising a perfect eyebrow, "why did you bleach your hair?" Wow, if I wasn't a guy, I probably would've liked this dude.
"For heavens sake! Can no one in this world have naturally vibrant orange hair?!" I snapped at him.
"My apologies if I offended you……are you from Japan?" He asked me quietly. I had almost forgotten about the girl. She wasn't as pale as the man she was half-hidden behind, who suddenly looked very protective, "and please put down that sword of yours, it could seriously hurt someone."
Oops. I forgot about zangetsu. I swiftly put away zangetsu and looked down at my feet.
"Whatever, yeah, I'm from Japan. What's it to you?" I said simply.
"I'm impressed; Your English is very fluent." He said smirking, but had a confused face not long after, "Why are you here in the small town of Forks from Japan?"
"Thanks, I'm here to save this girl that I lov-…..My friend…My friend that is a girl" I said as the blush crept up my cheeks.
Rukia…Damn it….I need to find you!
"In Forks? Did you anger your companion?" he asked. I sat back slowly onto the hospital bed. Another question popped to my mind.
"Why do you have a hospital bed in your house?"
"We'll get back to that question later…why are you here?"
"She was….taken…from me…." I said as I clenched my hands into balled up fists.
The girl spoke just a smidge louder than a whisper. "What does she look like?"
"She your…Girlfriend?" The pale man asked me casually.
"….No…I wish…." I said quietly
"What is this girl really like to make you run over to Forks?" He asked.
"She's….amazing….She can beat up any guy she wants to….even me. She's my best friend and she's the happiness that I haven't felt in a long time. She hates me but loves me. We care for each other, she stands by my side to fight through everything" I said sadly. Both of them were listening closely.
"What's her name?" the pale man asked intrigued by my description of Rukia.
"Her name is Rukia Kuchiki, she's as tall as a meter stick…and she always has a stray piece of hair that hangs in front of her face…and she has the most roundest, biggest violet eyes" I said chuckling lightly.
"Sounds like you have a beautiful friend, my girlfriend is named Bella" He said, looking towards the pale girl sitting beside him.
"Cool, must be nice to have a girlfriend." I said, sad again.
"Well, she is the love of my life and I can't live without her." After he said this he smiled slightly gave her a quick kiss on the top of her head.
Wow. That sentence was pretty deep. I embarrassed myself by looking at him with my mouth hung open.
Suddenly, the soul pager was ringing, interrupting our conversation. Quickly, I pulled it out and saw a new text message waiting for me.
Glad to see you have arrived in Forks, Kurosaki Ichigo.
Want to see Kuchiki-san?! Figure out the location of my hideout and you might find her alive…
Aizen Souske
I was furious; No one was allowed to hurt Rukia. I should've been there…WHY WASN'T I?! I smashed my fists against the pillow on bed.
"What does it say?!" He asked, alarmed at my sudden outburst.
"Rukia….They're hurting her…I have to find that traitors hideout." I said angrily as I felt weak, defeated, and worthless.
"Traitor??"He asked once again, confused.
I explained to him the ways of the Shinigami, and the traitor of Soul Society, Aizen Souske. I explained how he had faked his death and betrayed Soul Society and had created his strong army of the Espada's and Aarancars.
"So, you're dead?!" He asked me with surprise. The girl didn't seem to be surprised, which was kind of weird. I wonder why she wasn't scared.
"Technically, No…but Rukia is..." I said, replying his question.
I wondered if he could get any paler after hearing this…
"So, Shinigamis are like….ghosts?!" He asked me.
"Kind of, but we reap souls…confused?" I asked. At this time my head started to ache again, which brought me back to the question of what hit me at the clearing earlier, "so, was it you that jumped me back there?"
"Um, yes, I apologize for that too. I didn't know who you were and…you know…Bella and I were there… " the pale faced man trailed off.
"What the hell were you two doing at the meadow, anyways?" I asked, confused.
The girl blushed bit her lip, blushed, and looked down while the pale faced man looked down at his feet, not blushing, but I was sure both were embarrassed. Okay, maybe I didn't want to know…
"So, what's your name anyways?" He asked me after the awkwardness wore off.
"I'm Ichigo Kurosaki…." I think I needed to know his name too. I couldn't always call him the 'pale guy'.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Edward Cullen and I have a secret to tell too."

My my, twilight is coming out in 2 days… I am so excited but scared of the mob at the mall. Hopefully I wont get squished or trampled over… or else there will be no more Bleached Vampires in the making :(
If you were wondering why the whole vampire thing isn't explained… it's because it would take a loooong time explaining the whole thing when you guys already know what the whole vampire concept is…right? LOL
R&R! Thanks again for reading! :]
