TUNNELS OF LOVE ~ Red-eyed Mist
~ BLEACH
Ichigo couldn't help but be happy. Now that he had the tunnel routes to his classes mapped, he could avoid the 'Hollows'. He was heading to his last class which was history, and was going up the tunnel. He put his ear to the wall and listened. There was no sound so he pulled the lever and went in.
The boy's room was empty and the passage door slide close. He walked out and went into the classroom. He took out his notebook as the professor started the lesson. Pausing, Ichigo snuck a peek back and spotted Gin in the far corner. The silver haired teen saw him and waved to him.
Ichigo returned his gaze to the front, Gin was being nice to him now? Then again, he did protect him from Aizen and helped him out by making him copies of yesterday's history notes. 'I don't get it, why is Gin being nice to me?' thought Ichigo. "Okay, now, for the rest of class, I want you to work with someone and finish up on this packet, it's due at the end of class." said the professor. 'Are you shitting me?' thought Ichigo.
He passed them out and Ichigo saw another name on his packet. 'So he picks the partners.' thought Ichigo. To his shock, his partner was Gin Ichimaru. He sighed and saw Gin take a seat next to him. "Looks like we're workin together, Berry." said Gin.
"Shut up, my name is Ichigo, NOT Berry." sanpped Ichigo. Gin chuckled and they opened the book and started looking for the answers. The teen looked at the older teen and sighed. "Gin, why are you being nice to me?" asked Ichigo. "Hm, what do ya mean?" asked Gin.
"You protected me from Aizen, then you make me copies of yesterday's notes, plus not to long ago, you waved to me." said Ichigo. "It's simple, I hate bein in a gang, but I can't leave since no one leave sthe 'hollows'." said Gin. Ichigo nodded, feeling bad for the older teen. "Plus, ya look like a nice kid, so i thought I'd try ta be friends with ya, but, with Aizen around, I can't." said Gin. "I see, i'm sorry you can't be your own man." said Ichigo.
"Thanks but, eventually I'll be free, just gonna take time." sighed Gin. With that, the chat ended and they got to work. Soon, class was over and the two passed in the packets. "Bye." said Gin. He left and Ichigo sighed, he could actually believe he and Gin could be great friends.
He shrugged and went to the boy's room and disappeared down the tunnel route. He walked slowly down the river way listening to the calming sounds of the rippling water. He sat down and let out a sigh and dipped his feet into the chilling water. He wished he could help Gin, but, gangs were held together and were hard to break free of. Ichigo laid back, staring at the dirt ceiling.
He had to leave, who knows how long till the dorm room became full and he couldn't sneak in. He got up, put his shoes back on and ran the rest of the way to the dorms. He listened, hearing nothing and went in. The lobby of the dorms was empty and he closed the fireplace, running upstairs and into his room. He laid on his back and let out a sigh before burying his face in his pillow.
'This school is too much, wish I could of gone to M-university.' thought Ichigo. He let out a yawn and shut his eyes deciding to take a nap. He curled into his blankets and fell asleep.

A loud scream brought Ichigo out of his sleep and he saw he was out for three hours. He ran out of his room and into the lobby to see the other boys there. Screaming, on the ground, was Luppi. "Hey, calm down, it's okay." said a teen. Luppi only screamed more and started beating the teen, making blood flew and Ichigo was horrified.
'What's happening?' thought Ichigo. Luppi soon stopped and the teen was no longer moving, it was obvious to see he was beaten to death. Luppi then gazed at Ichigo and the teen was shocked to see the whites of the feminine man was full of blood. Luppi screamed and ran to Ichigo. Before he could move, Luppi's hands were around his throat.
He tried to push off the man teen but it was to no avail. Suddenly, Luppi's grip went slack and he dropped to the floor like a sack of potatoes. Ichigo checked for a pulse to find it weakening more and more. "Hey, someone get the nurse." said Ichigo. Two teens ran off and the others picked Luppi up and put him on the couch. They even moved the dead, beaten teen to the other couch.
The nurse soon arrived and took Luppi to her office while a morgan came and took the dead teen. The hollows were present but none showed any emotion. Though, Ichigo did notice Gin's look of horror. The lobby soon emptied and Gin looked to Ichigo. The teen saw him and Gin dropped something on the floor.
Once he left and Ichigo was alone, he picked up what Gin had dropped. It was a piece of paper taht read 'Listen on Mr. Carso; Red-eyed Mist'. Ichigo was confused but pocketed the paper and went to the fireplace. He shut it and ran down into the tunnels and looked for the passage that'd lead to the man's office. 'Damn, I knew I should of explored all the passages.' thought Ichigo.
Just as he stopped, he heard a loud noise. He followed it into a passage to a door, but, noticed a peek hole. Ichigo slide it open to see books in the way. He pushed it away lightly to see Mr. Carso's back and the nurse. 'This is the bookcase.' thought Ichigo.
"This has gone on too long, Red-eyes Mist is too dangers to let loose, you need to destroy it." said the nurse. Ichigo was shocked, Mr. Carso MADE it?! "I will not, it just needs to be inproved, once Luppi gets up, he'll test the next batch." said Mr. Carso. "IF he does, he's in a coma and is slowly dying, plus, even if he does wake up and makes a full recoery, he beat a student to death!" said the nurse. Mr. Carso shook his head and the nurse went to leave.
"I'm ending this now." said the nurse. "No, you won't." said Mr. Carso. He reviled a gun with a silencer and Ichigo's eyes widened. He pulled the trigger and the bullet hit the nurse, killing her in a second. Mr. Carso pocketed the gun and picked up the nurse's body.
He then dropped it into a metal door that read 'incenerator'. Ichigo was horrified and closed the peek hole and ran down the passage to the main tunnel. Ichigo couldn't believe what he saw. He then looked back. "Still, what the hell is this 'Red-eyed Mist'?" wondered Ichigo.
