Chapter 4
Natsume Persuading Ichigo
Kurosaki Ichigo. A boy with orange hair with chocolate brown eyes was seen lying down staring at the blue skies with a girl none other than his childhood friend…Kuchiki Rukia that he recall as a bother. The wind was caressing his face until the silence was broken by the sound of a machine. Why must somebody always break the peace and quiet I can have? Who the heck is it this time? Ichigo's soon had shadows over him which also blocked his view.
"What do you want? Can't you give a man a chance to enjoy?" Ichigo stated irritated at the fact someone was disturbing him. "I want your blood," was the flat reply from the owner of the voice. Ichigo immediately sat up to have a clearer view of the person. Ruby eyes…Fearless yet empty. "Kouhai, don't tell me you want to fight with your senpai?"Ichigo simply said that while snickering. Natsume just gave him a blank stare and repeated his statement, "I want your blood."
"You want to fight with me, Kouhai? Do you know…You have a low chance of survival? 0.01 percent if I'm not wrong…Wait…Maybe it's none at all," Ichigo said while smirking at him, challenging him. Natsume who was of course annoyed with this but simply shook his head and said, "I want you to D-O-N-A-T-E your blood, brainless man," Natsume stated it this time stressing the word donate as if he doesn't understand what he wants.
"Hn? For what?" Ichigo's answered surprised." Cause you finished the entire supply in the hospital, dumb ass, remember your last mission," reminded Natsume in a bored tone. Ichigo blushed at that statement as it was humiliating and it really was him who finished the supply as he was deeply injured during his last mission and needed blood. This man could fit gallons of blood. "You do not need to say it out loud in front of a woman you know. Later everyone will now…"Ichigo wasn't able to finish his sentence as the dandelion he was holding was burning now by a fire that can never be put off. "Kouhai, you better learn to show some respect to your elder, or I'll call your favorite teacher," Ichigo stated not bothered by the flame at all grinning, challenging him.
"Donate your blood, senpai" Natsume muttered with his bang covering his eyes. "Now that's more like it! Well…I can't, Kouhai," commented Ichigo. "Why?" interrupted Rukia. "I have this CHEMICAL X in my bloodline, and no one knows about it until now, if I donate the blood, the person may die if the body rejects the blood however if it receives the blood…it's practically a different story." Explained Ichigo. "If the body receives the blood…What will happen?" questioned Rukia determined to know. "The body may be able to produce another Alice and make the person far stronger," Ichigo stated coolly.
"I didn't give you a choice senpai. You can't say no, no matter what," Natsume was now beginning to burn the tip of his hair. The fire however was put off somehow put off by Natsume himself unwillingly. "Now…now…kouhai, when I say no…I'm serious, there's a possibility that the person may die. I'm just being thoughtful of the person who's going to receive the blood," Ichigo stated again.
"That idiot won't die from your blood," blustered Natsume. "That idiot?" Rukia repeated giving Natsume a questioning look while grinning. "You are actually helping someone, Natsume?" Ichigo smirked at the thought of it. "Get on the bike," muttered Natsume…his head bent down and bangs covering his face.
"This person must have really meant a lot to him. He's that desperate to even seek help from me…even though the blood might reject the body, Natsume's being reckless," smirking at the thought of it.
"What are you smirking at?" Natsume snarled feeling uneasy with the actions of Ichigo.
"Her death is not my responsibility, it's yours, remember that," Ichigo announced after putting his request into thorough consideration. "However, I'll donate the blood under one condition… Tell me who's the lucky person," Ichigo prattled which was getting Natsume on his nerves.
"… A girl that's the same age as me," muttered Natsume glowering at the two with words on his face describing you-better–come–as –you-promise. "Hmm…? Girlfriend of yours? That's rare. I didn't know a guy with your attitude could attract a girl at all. I think I better add one more condition about you introducing me to the girl," Ichigo continued prattling while laughing meanwhile Rukia was giggling by his side.
"Whatever," Natsume grumbled irritated by the second. "Get on the bike, we're going to the hospital NOW," Natsume sputtered specifying the word NOW. "What's the rush, Kouhai, I'll donate later," drawled Ichigo. Natsume shot him a glare which sent his spine shiver. "Alright! I'll go. I'll go, Rukia, I'll catch you later," with that said Ichigo jumped on the bike and waved goodbye.
