Sorry for the wait, here's chapter three of the story. Thanks for the ideas everyone, I'll try to incorporate any that you have. I was away at Senica hills, which is an amazing christen camp for anyone who would ever like to go. If your interested about it, I would love to provide you with more information on it. Anyway, onto the story.
Shuhei slowly got to his feet, shaking his head. He quickly lost his balance and fell down onto his butt. Slower this time, he tried again, succeeding. The door then was slammed open and Shuhei jerked around to see Ikkaku and Renji. Shuhei glared at the two and tock a step back from them. "You still scared kid? Heh, pathetic!" Ikkaku said. Then he turned to Renji. "Really smart pick there Renji, he's a regular coward." he scolded. Shuhei glared even more. He wasn't a coward! He'd prove it if he had too. Giving a calm appearance, even though he was panicking on the inside, he picked up his sword again.
"If you think I'm a coward, then come and face me yourself." Shuhei said. Ikkaku grinned, but said nothing else. Instead Renji spoke.
"So, do you realize what all happened?" he asked. Shuhei stopped, to tell the truth, he didn't have a chance to think about it yet. What did happen? He remembered them biting him and forcing him to drink their blood, then he passed out. "I'll tell you, you're one of us now." Renji said.
"WHAT!" Shuhei was in full panic mode now. They turned him into a vampire!
"Calm down kid, even though you pretend you're calm, I can hear your heart racing." Renji said. 'How can he expect me to be calm at a time like this!' Shuhei thought in his head. Ikkaku shock his head and leaned back against the door, this may take a while.
"Let me ask you this kid, that tattoo on your face, where'd you get it?" Ikkaku asked.
"I got it when I was a kid." Shuhei said.
"Does the name Kensei Muguruma mean anything to you?" he followed. Shuhei shock his head. "I see, well out of all the vampires, there are ten great vampires, with twenty lesser vampires. After that is all the other vampires like you. The ten are Kensei Muguruma, Byakuya Kuchiki, Shunsui Kyōraku, Jūshirō Ukitake, Retsu Unohana, Yoruichi Shihōin, Shinji Hirako, Kenpachi Zaraki, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, and Kisuke Urahara. The lesser ones are Uryu Ishida, Ichigo Kurosaki, Nanao Ise, Rangiku Matsumoto, Renji Abarai, Chad, Soi Fon, Toshiro Hitsugaya, Yachiru Kusajishi, Izuru Kira, Momo Hinamori, Sajin Komamura, Tetsuzaemon Iba, Yumichika Ayasegawa, Mashiro Kuna, Lisa Yadomaru, Love Aikawa, Rose Otoribashi, Rukia Kuchiki, and me Ikkaku Madarame. Those are the leaders of the vampires. Unfortunitaly we don't get along and broke up into ten groups, each lead by one of the great vampires. I don't even think that many of them get along even today." Ikkaku said.
"Then you follow the one here?" Shuhei asked. Ikkaku laughed.
"No, I follow Kenpachi Zaraki, same with Yumichika and that pathetic excuse for a vampire Yachiru. We get along with Byakuya but we don't follow him." Ikkaku said.
"Why are you telling me this?" Shuhei asked.
"Because, first, you need to find out where you'r loyalties lie. Since Renji is the one who turned you into a vampire, you're loyalties should be towards him and his master, but it is you're choice after all. Next is you should know that as of right now, you're the lowest vampire there is, so everyone is your elder, epically the thirty I mentioned. They are the kind that you want to definitely be on the good side of at least one." Ikkaku told him.
"What if I don't want to be a vampire?" Shuhei asked. Renji laughed out.
"Too late for that kid, it's not something that can be reversed. You'll just have to learn to live with it." Renji said. Ikkaku shock his head, this wasn't going well.
"Byakuya is a decent guy. He said he'll let you go to an upcoming meeting where all thirty of the great vampires and lesser vampires are going to meet so you can see what they are like. You should count you're self-lucky, not many get an opportunity like this, in fact these meetings are so rare as they are, like I said, they don't get along." Ikkaku said.
"What if I would want to be on my own?" Shuhei asked.
"Then you'd be an enemy of everyone and I'm not sure how well you'll survive with all the vampires, humans, and vampire hunters after you." Renji barked. Shuhei nodded, he didn't really have much of a choice in this, and even if he did, he doubted that it would go over well. They did have a point that he couldn't turn back. It's going to be strange to have the very people that they were to look up to become his enemy's trying to kill him. Then the door flung open, and Ichigo stormed in.
"So he's finally awake huh. About time, it's been almost two days." Ichigo said. Shuhei's eyes got large, he didn't realize he was out that long. "The name's Ichigo." he told the stunned teen.
"What is your name anyway?" asked Renji. Shuhei hung his head, he felt weak and hated it.
"Sh…Shuhei Hisagi." he choked out. They nodded.
"Well kid, we're gonna leave you in here for now. Just try to make you're self at home." Renji said as all three left, locking the door behind them. 'Of course, they wouldn't want me running off.' Shuhei thought as he heard the lock click. He went over to a make-shift bed to lay down. Staring up at the celling, he begun to think about everything that they said.

"So, is the boy alright?" Byakuya asked when Ichigo, Renji, and Ikkaku came in. He was trying to ignore Yachiru who was sitting next to him and watch Rukia who was sitting on his other side with Izuru and Yumichika.
"Yah, he'll be fine, once he accepts everything that happened." Renji said.
"Well he's your responsibility now, so don't let any harm come to him." Byakuya said in a menacing voice. Renji nodded.
"What if Kensei does have some kind of connection to him?" Izuru asked.
"Then we may be able to use that to our advantage, he may agree to help us all in the future. The vampire hunters have been focusing on us for some time now and it seems like they are ready to attack, that is why this meeting has been called. I don't like using people, but the way things are looking, we don't have to many options." Byakuya said.
"That's why you're letting him go to the meeting, so you can see if it was Kensei Muguruma that he got the tattoo from." Rukia said. Byakuya nodded.
"That's actually pretty smart Kuchiki-sama." said Renji.
"What did you expect from nee-sama?" Rukia asked, slightly offended that her friend showed a lack of faith in her big brother, the very one that was supposed to keep them all alive and safe!
"Anyway, what else do you have in mind for the kid?" Renji asked.
"I have nothing in mind for him except what I have already said. There is no point in coming up with anything else. Whatever you think is appropriate I will allow." Byakuya said. The others nodded.
"We should try training him a little then." Renji said.
"I would be careful, if Muguruma did have some sort of past with him, chances are that he'll join Muguruma the first chance he gets. It's not a bad thing…it's just that it wouldn't be good for right now." Izuru said. The others nodded in agreement. They knew that was true.
"Just keep him out of the way." Byakuya said standing up and leaving.
-character change-
Shuhei decided to stand up again and move around. He tried the handle to find it was indeed locked so he couldn't leave. Heading back to his make-shift bed, Shuhei stared at the celling again. Deciding that he couldn't sleep he let his thoughts run loose. 'I guess they were right. I will have to accept the fact I am a vampire now. There's nothing else that I can do, and I won't quit living for this. What can I do anyway? Who would I join? Should I stay here with these people who forced me to become one of them, or go find my own way?' he thought.
Well there it is. I hope you enjoyed it. The next chapter will be the meeting so… Thanks for reading this and sorry for the wait again.
