Deadly Dishonor
"Sasuke, you just have to try this on!" Karin squealed with excitement. She threw many different pieces of clothing at her dear Sasuke, making him growl in frustration. She had already found clothes for the other men in her team, but now Sasuke had her full attention. As she sailed through the many aisles in the store, Sasuke mumbled curses as he looked out the store window, hoping to see the orange haired teen.
"Sasuke, try this on!" Karin yelled out loud from across the store. With inhuman speed, Sasuke was right at her side, snatching the red shirt and black pants from her grasp. Again, with that inhuman speed every ninja possessed, he started to change into the chosen outfit. He tore loose his previous clothes and slid on some very tight black pants. As he slid on his red shirt, a few different accessorizes flew into his changing room.
Picking up the accessorizes, he started to put them on without a fuss. He stepped back and examined himself in the mirror. Only until then did he ever notice the black writing on his shirt. It stated, 'Haters Love me'. Though, instead of the written out word love, it was replaced with a black heart. Sasuke stared at the shirt, seeing how ironic it was.
The outfit consisted of: very skinny black pants, a 'Haters love me' shirt, two spiked belts (one red, the other normal silver color), black/red fingerless gloves, and a pair of red and black mismatched pair of converses.
Sasuke nodded once in approval before buying the outfit and venturing to other stores, wearing the outfit handpicked buy Karin herself.
As the party of four sat down to rest and eat, Sasuke couldn't help himself as his mind went back to the orange haired teen. Sasuke couldn't help but smile to himself as he remembered the blush that was plastered onto the angry teens face. As he rummaged through his memory of his first encounter of the berry boy, he realized that he was no father than an each away from kissing him.
A light feeling of wings against his stomach shocked him as he recalled the memory. To be able to kiss him…would he be able to do that? Somehow, Sasuke imagined it happening, and it felt so right. Sasuke stopped himself right there. He was not going to think like that. All he wanted to do was play with the boy. Break him if possible! He could see it in the teen's eyes that he felt something for him, that's why he wanted to play with him. Because… Sasuke was just cruel like that.
I admit I am intrigued by his power and stupidity, but…to want to kiss him…now that's another story. Unless…it's the same just like with Naruto…NO! Hell NO!
Sasuke shoved the thought away vigorously, thinking no more of the blond twerp he left behind. Pushing his tray of food away- no longer hungry-he made an excuse to use the bathroom. The others glanced at one another, knowing full well that Sasuke wanted to be alone for the rest of the day. To tell the truth, they were surprised that Sasuke lasted this long with them without bolting out long ago. Nodding to their leader, they watched in concern as he walked out of the mall, not even going near the bathroom like he stated he was going.
Sighing, Sasuke stuffed his hands into his recently bought hoodie. He pushed the door of the mall and walked out side, and into busy streets of Karakura town. Pushing people aside as he walked, Sasuke kept close eyes on every little detail, trying to find anything that was 'odd' about the place. Earlier, before deciding to journey to Karakura town, he heard some rumors and gossip about the strange occurrences happening here. Some unknown string led him to believe it would be worth his time.
As he walked past the busy streets and people, he found himself at the entrance of a large park. Paying no attention to his surroundings, Sasuke plopped himself down on a near by bench and relaxed. The cold august wind brushed up against his cheeks, sending a chill down his spine.
If only Ichigo's warm lips could cure me…
Sasuke's eyes widened in realization; at his thoughts of Ichigo. He cursed himself again, shoving the thoughts out of his mind. He was not going to think of Ichigo that way even if it killed him. He was annoyed that, no matter how many times he shoved it away, Ichigo's face reappeared in his mind over and over again. His large brown eyes full of curiosity, his luscious pink lips and his flawless fairly tanned skin reappeared in his mind. And what a sight to see! The orange haired beauty had made a mark in Sasuke's mind that he can not ride of it. He was all he could think about to the raven haired teen. Sasuke no longer tried throwing him away, but now accepted and loved the thought of Ichigo penetrating his mind.
To see him one more time…just one more time, and I will be happy. Yes, truly happy!
Sasuke could not believe himself when he thought of this. In all his life, no one has been able to make him think in this way. No one made him want to search for happiness. No one…yet, a random range haired fool came and changed that. How, you ask? Not even Sasuke knew. Sasuke guessed that it was a chance of fate. That is, if he hadn't heard the rumors of this town, he would have never met Ichigo. Would that be a good thing, or an excessively bad thing?
Imagining the outcome of not meeting Ichigo was easy. He would continue his murderess plans on killing his brother and die of loneliness. But if he stayed, what would he do then? Would he continue the search and leave Ichigo behind, or stay here? What if Ichigo offered to help? What if.., what if…
But the first problem was to know if Ichigo has the same feelings. Sasuke had no doubt that Ichigo had a thing for him, but it is the fact that he would tell him. Now that is the problem Sasuke fears. Sasuke fears that Ichigo would deny his own feelings and would not admit, not only to himself, but to Sasuke himself. Right now, he wants only to hear the sound of Ichigo's voice, telling him words that would send him to high heaven. Just three simple words…
I love you….
An ear piercing roar echoed through Sasuke's ears and mind, making him quick and alert, just waiting for trouble. Hidden from human sight, he brought out his short sword he had gained when training with Orochimaru. The soul piercing cries continued, although growing louder and longer, indicating that it was coming closer. The earth shook under Sasuke as the monsters feet penetrated the ground. Though the monster had seemed ferocious and evil, its strength was horribly low, almost sickening to Sasuke. He hated weak enemies.
The monster took no notice of Sasuke as it chased after a lost human soul. Its wide masked face opened its wide mouth as he went to attack the child but was stopped by a short sword that sliced off his arm. The creature screamed in agony as it waved its left over arm in the air, causing blood to splash over Sasuke and the child soul. Sasuke sensed that the creature was going to attack again, and quickly grabbed the boy.
With hi ninja skills and strength, he brought up his sword, jumped, and pierced the black monster right through the head. The creature screamed one last time before evaporating into thin air. Pleased with the kill, Sasuke dropped the boy, wiped the blood off his sword, and cleaned himself off of the blood. Sasuke tossed the rag to the boy and he as well cleaned the blood off without a fuss. Sasuke silently observed the boy who he recently saved with eyes full of curiosity.
Till now did he realize that the boy had a broken chain on his chest, linked to his heart? The boy was the age of ten to eleven and looked physically active. He had short brown hair and wore a blue shirt with a dark pair of brown shorts. His eyes were a light hazel color and were stained with tears. Looking closely as his face, Sasuke then realized the boy was crying. Not knowing what to do, Sasuke continued to watch the boy cry.
However, the boy didn't have much time to cry, as another hair rising scream penetrated the awkward silence. The boy shakes uncontrollably as he hid behind Sasuke, trusting him to kill the new Hollow. Sighing, Sasuke waited patiently for the next creature to make his move, so he can kill it again! Not bothering to pull out his sword, the black creature with a white death mask made its appearance, screaming to the high heavens. Sasuke, again, sighed as he slowly started to walk up to the creature.
This time, as Sasuke pulled out his sword once again, an orange haired man in what seemed like a black kimono jumped in front of him and attacked the hollow with his large sword. Sasuke shrugged, walked back to the kid, and grabbed the boy's hand. The boy did not turn away or try to get free from Sasuke's grasp; rather, he tightened his hold and held onto the edge of Sasuke's hoodie. Sasuke said nothing about the action but watched as the man pierced the monster through the mask, the monster evaporating into dust moments later.
Sasuke watched in amazement as he realized that the man in front of him was Ichigo himself. The same boy who made Sasuke the happiest man alive; THE Ichigo Kurosaki.
Ichigo looked back at Sasuke with wide eyes, his face forming a blush instantly. Smacking it off, Ichigo walked to Sasuke and stared at the boy clutching on to Sasuke for dear life. The boy shivered and went farther behind Sasuke, hiding from Ichigo's sight. Sasuke growled at Ichigo, warning him to stay away from the child. Ichigo looked at the glaring eyes of the raven haired boy.
"I need to see him. I'm the only one who can help him!" Ichigo growled.
"Leave him alone." Sasuke replied with a glare, though inside, butterflies fluttered.
"Come on" Ichigo yelled, making the boy shiver once more.
"Leave him alone." Sasuke repeated, taking one step back.
Ichigo couldn't deny being surprised. Though he only met Sasuke for an hour or so, Sasuke didn't seem to be a person who cared about others. From their first encounter, he seemed like a cold person who liked to play with others emotions and feelings. He seemed full of hate and anger from the way his eyes always seemed to say. To see him concerned about the young human soul surprised Ichigo. Sighing, he now addressed the boy, but still kept a glaring contest with Sasuke.
"Hey kid, did you die alone or do you have any dead relatives?"
Sasuke was shocked from Ichigo's question but tried very hard not to show it.
"Y-y-yes…m-my m-m-mother…a-and f-f-f-father." The boy whispered, only hearable by Sasuke.
Sasuke nodded to Ichigo and repeated what the boy said. Ichigo sighed, nod, and then smiled. The boy took a quick glance from behind Sasuke, saw his smile, then hid behind Sasuke again.
"I'm here to help you Kid. I can have you see your mother and father again. You can't be scared anymore." Ichigo pressed but kept his kind smile on.
The boy came out from behind Sasuke but kept a firm grasp on his jacket and hand. "Y-you can?!" Ichigo grinned at the poor child and shook his head. "Yup! Just don't be scared anymore, k'ay?"
The boy stayed put in front of Sasuke, not trusting Ichigo.
Sasuke sighed, picked the boy up, and brought him to Ichigo. "If you can get this boy back to his family, than do it now!" Sasuke yelled, not allowing the kid to run.
"I-I'm scared! I can't go! I don't trust him! Please!" The boy cried, wrapping his pale arms around Sasuke's torso. Feeling awkward, Sasuke padded the boys back and reassured him with soothing words.
"I bet your parents miss you a lot kid. Go to them." Sasuke whispered, pulling the boy off of him and pushing him to go to Ichigo. Ichigo stare with curious eyes as he watched Sasuke's whole face change when talking to the kid about family. At first glance, it held concern. But when you really looked at them, they held pain and sorrow; a deep un-regrettable feelings inside. Ichigo could only stare in awe.
The boy reluctantly let go, said his good byes to Sasuke, and then stepped in front of Ichigo. Ichigo smiled down at the boy, grabbed his Zanpak-to and placed it on the boy's head. Bright light surrounded the boy, and soon it engulfed him. Seconds later, the boy was gone. Ichigo placed the sword on his shoulder, smiled and blushed, "That's the job of a soul reaper for you!"
