Another Orangey in Town Pt. 2
Meanwhile, back in Kaibara, Tohru and Yuki stood in place staring at the spot where Kyo had vanished. Tohru dropped the umbrellas she was carrying, and then she fell to her knees. She felt the hot tears leaking out of her eyes, and she couldn't stop them from coming out. She sat there sobbing, putting her face into her hands. Yuki knelt down, putting his umbrella over her so that she wouldn't get wet. He then, slowly as to not frighten her or transform, pulled her head onto his shoulder. She grabbed his shirt and cried into it. He stroked her head to help her relax, and she started to calm down.
"Let's go back, Honda-san," he said.
He picked up the umbrellas, closing the one that Tohru was using ("I'm surprised that it didn't get blown away," he thought), and then he walked her to the house.
When they got to the house, they took off their shoes and put the umbrellas out to dry. Shigure came out of his room, looking at them strangely.
"Ummm…" he said, with a confused look on his face. "Wasn't the point of going back out into the pouring rain to get Kyo-kun? Where is he?"
He looked at Tohru, who was now hiccupping, with tears still coming out of her swollen eyes. Then he looked at Yuki, who was now looking concerned. Shigure gave him a stern gaze.
"What happened, Yuki?" he asked.
They went to the living room and sat down. Yuki told Shigure the events that took place in the forest. Tohru stayed quiet next to Yuki on the couch, looking down at her hands. She had finally stopped crying, but she was shaking really badly and was still hiccupping.
"Oh my," said Shigure, after Yuki had finished, "this really is unsettling. I had felt something earlier after you two had left to get Kyo-kun, but this…"
"I felt it too," said Yuki. He too looked upset. "It must have something to do with our…condition."
The kettle in the kitchen started whistling and Tohru jumped.
"Oh, I should go and fix the tea now," Shigure said, getting up and going to the kitchen, leaving Yuki and Tohru alone in the living room. Except for the small noises in the kitchen and the rain pattering outside, all was quiet.
Yuki looked at Tohru. She was still looking down ant her hands, still shaking and hiccupping. He put a hand on her and she looked up at him. He was startled to see that her face was distraught. He remembered that look. It was the same look that he saw on her face on the day she had received the news about her mother, though he didn't think of it too much at the time. Then again, he didn't know her during the time. This made him want to hold her close to him, to hug her, but he knew he couldn't. He looked straight into her beautiful blue eyes, and then he smiled one of his kind and prince-like smiles.
"Don't worry, Honda-san," he said. "We'll find him. I promise."
Tohru looked at him in surprise. Then she wiped her nose, nodded, and smiled.
"Thank you Yuki-kun."
He blushed, and then tried to keep his cool so that he wouldn't turn into a rat. He didn't really care too much about Kyo, but Tohru did. He wanted her to smile like this more often, and if that meant finding Kyo, he might as well. To hide his still-reddened face, he looked down at the watch on his wrist. 15 minutes had passed since the incident.
He suddenly stood up and looked toward the front door. Tohru looked at him, startled by his sudden action.
"Yuki-kun?" she asked.
Shigure came out of the kitchen with a tray of a pot of tea and three teacups. He had a stern face on.
"…Shigure-san? What's wrong?"
"…It's back," said Yuki. "Come on."
Yuki and Shigure put on their jackets and Tohru did the same. Yuki looked at her in shock.
"Honda-san, you should stay here. It could be dangerous."
"I'm coming with you," she said. She wasn't going to take no for an answer.
They grabbed the umbrellas and ran outside. They saw the giant tear of darkness and lightning of hell in the sky above them. The saw the one bolt shoot down and they ran faster. It went back up and all was calm again, except for the accursed rain. A boy collapsed on the ground. He had orange hair.
"Kyo-kun!" yelled Tohru, and she ran towards the figure.
"Wait, Tohru-kun!" Shigure called after her. But she was already by the boy's side, turning him over.
But it wasn't Kyo.
He looked younger, maybe Hastuharu's age. He wore a white t-shirt with blue short sleeves, and he wore blue jeans and white tennis shoes. His hair was spiky, not like Kyo's hair, but it was the same orange color. What really caught Tohru's eye was the fact that he had cuts and bruises everywhere, and his left arm was bleeding from a long and deep cut.
"He's badly wounded!" she yelled out. "We need to bring him inside."
"Yuki-kun," said Shigure when they were standing next to Tohru, "help me put him on my back.
Yuki did what he was told. They picked him up carefully and put him onto Shigure's back, but the boy yelped in pain when Yuki bumped his arm.
"We need to hurry," said Shigure.
Once inside, they laid the boy on the couch and Shigure called Hatori while Tohru and Yuki did their best to clean and bandage up the wounds. After treating him, Tohru and Shigure went to change out of their wet clothes while Yuki changed the strange boy out of his. When Yuki took off the boy's shirt, he was frightened to see that there was a giant bruise on his stomach. He carefully patched it up. When Shigure came back, Yuki went to change out of his own clothes. Soon all three were in the living room and Hatori was at the door. Hatori treated the wounds some more and changed the bandages on the arm, the boy wincing while he did so. Tohru fixed Hatori's tea and gave it to him.
"Thank you, Honda-kun," he said, smiling to her.
"You're welcome, Hatori-san," she said, also smiling. Hatori noticed that something was bothering her. But before he could say anything about it, she left to go upstairs and do the laundry. Hatori looked exhausted when he had finally finished.
"His injuries were serious," he said. "Especially that stomach wound. Whatever happened to him, he could have died if not given medical treatment. He's going be alright now; he's just going to be out for a while." He turned to look at Shigure and Yuki. "Would someone care to tell me who this is? And where is Kyo?"
Yuki made sure Tohru wasn't listening, and then he told Hatori the details of what happened. Hatori took in the details, looking worried and upset during the story. After Yuki had finished, Hatori looked up at the stairs, thinking about Tohru.
"This explains the strange feeling I had earlier," said Hatori. "The others may have felt it too. Maybe even Akito-san."
"Yes," said Shigure. "I think you may be right Haa-san."
That's when Tohru came running down the stairs and ran into the living room. She was holding something in her hand.
"I found this *huff huff* in his pocket *huff huff*," she said, breathing hard from the running.
"Hey, it's a wallet," said Shigure.
This got everyone's attention. Tohru gave the wallet to Shigure, which was made of black leather. He opened it up. There was about ¥ 3500, a few pictures, and an ID.
"Ichigo Kurosaki," started Shigure. "He's 15 years old, according to his birthday, and he's a first-year student in Karakura High. He also has orange hair and brown eyes."
He's the same as Kyo.
"So," said Yuki, "now we know more about him. He's from Karakura."
"Yes, so it would seem," said Hatori. "But why was he brought here by a hole in the sky? He could have just flown here by plane."
"Ha ha ha !" Shigure caught everyone by surprise. "You actually made a joke Haa-san!"
"It wasn't a joke."
"Umm…maybe he's from a different Karakura?"
Everyone turns to Tohru, who now looks very excited, and nervous.
"Uh, umm, like maybe…and alternate universe?" she said, getting quieter.
They kept looking at her, and she got even more nervous.
"Umm…I read a book once, and there were other universes, and dimensions...I'm sorry…I'm not making any sense…"
"…I guess it could be possible…" said Yuki.
"Maybe…" said Hatori.
"Yeah…" said Shigure, and then he looked as if he were fantasizing. "If this is, say an alternate Kyo-kun, then I can just imagine an alternate Tohru-kun…my, what beauty…"
Then Yuki and Hatori hit him upside the head, giving him two large bumps. Tohru, as usual, looks clueless and surprised.
"Uh…ummm…! Are you alright Shigure-san?"
"Don't worry about him Honda-san," said Yuki. "He'll be fine."
"Oh Tohru-kun!" said Shigure, crying to Tohru. "Haa-san and Yuki-kun are soooo mean! It hurts soooo much! Can you kiss it to make it better?"
"Eh?"
Then they hit him again, giving him two more bumps and knocking him unconscious. His eyes turn into little swirls.
"EEHH!?!"
"Don't mind him Honda-san," said Hatori, looking even more exhausted.
"Yes, please don't mind him, Honda-san," said Yuki. "You should just relax. We'll have to wait until this "Ichigo" wakes up."
Yuki picked up the wallet that Shigure had dropped. He looked at the photographs that were inside. One was a picture of the boy with three other people: a tall, goofy-looking man in his mid-forties, black hair and beard, striking a pose and a thumbs-up at the camera, a black-haired girl around maybe thirteen with a small smile on her face, and a shorter girl with light brown hair, around eleven possibly, with a big smile on her face. Ichigo was smiling also. They're standing in front of a clinic that says "Kurosaki Clinic." On the back of the photo, it shows the date to be last year, and was written the words "Dad, me, Karin, and Yuzu in front of the clinic."
"This must be a picture of his family," said Yuki, handing it to Tohru. The next picture was one of Ichigo and a tall, light brown haired woman, around her mid-thirties. Ichigo was a small boy at the time, and he had a big smile on his face, and was wearing a martial arts uniform. This picture took place seven years ago. It says, in messy handwriting, "Mom and me after martial arts practice."
He handed this picture to Tohru also. After a while, she goes "Maybe he lost his mom too." Yuki looked up at her and she had a look of sadness on her face.
They all looked at the strange boy. Who was he, and where is Kyo?
Meanwhile, in Hueco Mundo
The Arrancars are standing in front of Sosuke Aizen, who is sitting in his throne in the middle of a large and dark room. Noin is kneeling in front of him, his arm now bandaged up at the wrist.
"My lord," he said, "I have brought what you seek." Then he took out one of his eyes, and visions of what occurred two hours ago poured out. "I had tricked them like you had ordered me to, my lord. I stayed hidden while they thought I had left. As you see here, Karlan was too cocky, and was obliterated. And right here, Ichigo Kurosaki vanished."
"Interesting," said Aizen with a smile on his face. "Very interesting. Thank you Noin. You have made yourself worthy of being called an Arrancar."
"Thank you, my lord."
"So," thought Aizen, "where are you now, Ichigo?"
