They had all decided to stay at Urahara's that night because it had gotten late and they didn't want to deal with any possible attacks. Plus nobody felt like driving, so Urahara led them to the basement which was a hidden hatch in the corner of his office that they climbed do to the basement, it was huge so they had gotten a few blow up mattress but others got the floor mats that where used for yoga. It wasn't ideal but they dealt with it. Ichigo laid there, looking at the ceiling and thinking about earlier in the day. He put his hands to his face and sighed.
Ichigo looked around, there was a extremely dim light on so that if they woke up they could see were they were going and not trip on each other. Ichigo saw Shiro leaning against the wall, he had opted for one of the yoga mats. He looked tired but worried, Ichigo decided to get up and walk over to the man and sat next to him on the floor. "Why are you awake?" Ichigo whispered, looking at the albino.
"Can't stop thinking is all." "Same here.." Ichigo sighed and leaned against the wall. Shiro watched him, Ichigo sensed this and looked at him. "What?"
"...Nothing." "No, don't do that. Tell me." Shiro chuckled and shook his head. "Just you." "Me?" "
Shiro nodded and looked down. The silence grew uncomfortable and Ichigo shifted, finding the mat really interested..until he realized it looked like he was staring at Shiro's ass from the side. His cheeks flamed up and he looked up. Shiro looked at the flushed man and chuckled. "Why are you all worked up?" "No reason.."
"Riiight." "Shut up." Shiro grinned and nudged him, making them closer than they were originally. Ichigo looked at Shiro in the eyes and leaned his head on the wall. "I'm sorry about today."
Shiro said, keeping eye contact with the younger. "It's not your fault." Shiro shrugged "I guess you would've found out sometime.." Ichigo nodded. "Exactly. See i don't think i would've found out any better.." Shiro nodded, knowing from experience.
"I know you wouldn't have liked the way i found out." "..How did you?" Shiro stiffened at the flash of memory. "You don't have to tell me." Ichigo said, rushing to make the conversation turn from the heavy tone it had just taken.
"No..No you should know." "Are you sure?" Shiro smirked softly at the concern and nodded. "Yeah, it'll be fine."
{7 years before}
Shiro came home from school, right behind him was his twin brother Rei. You wouldn't even be able to tell who was who if it weren't for Rei's long hair and the piercing Shiro had on the cartilage of his ear. Their mother, who was a pale woman with nearly platinum blonde hair and hazel eyes was in the small kitchen of their small apartment, she smiled widely at her two sixteen year old sons. They both towered over her 5'4 frame with their 5'11 frames. She complained about it weekly and mourned the lose of her little boys.
"Hey Mom" Shiro said and kissed her cheek. "How was your day?" Rei asked and kissed her other cheek before he went to grab something to eat after the long day. "It was alright, i met up with Yoruichi and we had lunch."
"Isn't she trying to set you up?" Rei asked and Shiro groaned. "Please don't." Their mother shrugged and grabbed a glass and pour some water into it. "I have you two and that's enough for me."
"Awe, i'm touched." Shiro said with a grin. His mom, Aria, nudged him and rolled her eyes. Rei chuckled and shook his head at the two. "So are you two going out with Nel, Grimmjow and Ulquiorra?"
"Yeah, and Nnitora." "Isn't he into Nel?" "Yeah, and too stubborn to admit it." Aria chuckled "He'll get it."
Shiro shrugged. "Well..I'm gonna take a shower before we go, Okay?" "Alright, are you guys gonna eat while your out?" "Yeah" "Alright, i'll just make me something."
Shiro nodded and walked to the small bathroom after grabbing some fresh clothes and shut the door. It felt amazing when he got in and the warm water cascaded down his back, he soon finished and toweled dried his hair before putting on his clothes. He soon heard a blood curdling scream, he ran out to find a creature that look straight out of a nightmare holding his mother by her neck. The thing had Rei by his neck with his tail and against a wall. "MOM!" Shiro yelled, the beasts eyes flicked to Shiro and it growled.
"Sh-rio..Run.." The beast began to squeeze her neck and she made a noise that it caused Shiro to act on sheer instinct. Shiro grabbed a hammer that Aria had left under a freshly hung picture. Shiro sprinted forward with his newly found weapon and almost landed a blow before he was knocked into the wall. Aria clawed at the beasts hand, tears falling from her face as she looked to both of her sons. Rei was desperately trying to escape the tail of the creature and reach his family.
Shiro tried to get up but the hammer had worked against him, the pointed side lodged into his leg. The thing finally had had enough apparently, he growled at the woman. "Lucifer doesn't need you, you may be his bitch but he just needs his spawn. He says thank you for the healthy Twins." The demon laughed at the terror on the woman's face.
"F...uck..Y-ou..De..mon" She managed out, spitting in his face. The demon roared and slammed her into the ground, blood spraying from her mouth. She screamed, Rei and Shiro both called out for their mom. Shiro looked at Rei, who nodded. Shiro cried out as he pulled the hammer from his leg and threw it to his brother.
Blood spilled faster from Shiro's wound and he felt lightheaded. He could care less. The Demon growled in her face and slammed her again then roared at the feeling of something being stuck into his tail. He whirled on Rei and tightened his tail around his waist. "BRAT." The door burst open at that moment, Ulquiorra and Grimmjow sprinted in with looked like masks on half of their face or head that looked like they where made of bone.
Each held a katana, the Demon saw them and their accessories, Cursing it opened a black hole and disappeared into it. "REI!" "SHIRO!" A weak Rei slipped from the abandoned woman on the floor. "Grimmjow, go check on Aria." Ulquiorra told the taller and ran to his friend.
"Ulqui..?" Shiro said, not having the energy to finish his sentence. The blood was still pouring as Nnitora and Nel ran in, looking the same but different as the other two. Shiro didn't remember much but he heard Ulquiorra yell for him and he passed out.
{The Present}
Shiro had taken Ichigo's hand and held it tight somewhere along the way in his story. "My mother was taken here..She died later. We couldn't go after Rei because..well they had entered Hell.." Shiro felt sick and he leaned his head back against the cold wall of the basement. "Everyone had know about us, it was my mom trying to protect us."
Ichigo squeezed Shiro's hand. There storied were similar, except it had been a normal man and Kaien had come and swept him away from it all, him screaming to take them back. "Our stories sound about the same.." "Do they?" Ichigo nodded.
"..Tell me later." "Bu-" "I can wait, Ichigo." Ichigo looked into Shiro's face again, Shiro stared back. Shiro leaned forward suddenly and kissed him. Ichigo's breath left him and before he could respond to it, Shiro pulled away. "Shi-"
"No..I shouldn't have done that." Shiro got up. Ichigo watched, he was at a loss for words. "Forget that happened." "Why?" Ichigo, finding his voice, demanded.
"I don't have to explain myself." Ichigo grew angry and stood up, looking into the albino's eyes. "Is it because you think i'm gonna get hurt? That's already happened and if you say you don't want me dragged into this. Don't, because i'm already involved in this."
Shiro stared at the younger, almost believing him before he shook his head. "It just doesn't work, alright?" "Alright, well maybe you shouldn't kiss me after telling me some deep shit." Shiro rolled his eyes and went to go upstairs. "You still barely know me."
Shiro turned his head to look at the man behind him, eyes red on black. "I'm closest to Satan you're gonna get other than your bastard of a sperm donor. I suggest not playing with the damned. You may think you're not different than us now but you are so don't sit high and proud ready to protect everyone you can, and don't think i don't know that's what you wanted cause you seep it." With that, he walked up the stairs leaving a frozen Ichigo in his wake.
Ichigo looked down and gritted his teeth, he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to look up at his red haired roommate. Ichigo sighed "Did we wake you up?" "I was already sleeping like shit so it isn't your fault." Ichigo nodded, the chill of the albino's speech lingering in his spine. Renji noticed this and it was his turn to sigh.
"He's probably just stressed out, Ichigo." "So, am i but i'm not a dick about it." Renji nodded, agreeing. "People deal with shit differently." This is part of the reasons he was friends with his small circle. They knew that Ichigo was stubborn and just needed blunt honesty while they listened.
Renji and himself both hated beating around the bush. So they had made a promise when they became roommates to be honest and blunt with each other. "Come on, lets try and get some sleep." "Alright..I wanted to walk around. I'm not gonna sleep" "i'll go with you then."
The group remaining woke up the next morning to find three missing. They went upstairs to find Shiro up there but not Ichigo or Renji. He was picking at some food, Tatsuki walked over to the man. "Where's Ichigo and Renji?" Shiro looked at the woman and rose a brow.
"What do you mean?" "She means when we woke up they were gone." Rukia stated, worry not hidden well in her eyes. Shiro's eyes widened "Gone..?" The man looked at his plate as their hosts walked in.
"Good morning!' Urahara cheered before he felt the tension. His happy demeanor disappeared. "What happened?" "Ichigo and Renji are missing." Orihime provided and looked to Chad who remained silent but still had the signs of worry.
"Missing? Do you have any idea where they would've gone?" Yoruichi asked. Shiro had been silent the entire time, he felt sick. Grimmjow looked at his boyfriend then his old friend. Nel was the first to speak.
"Did something happen, Shiro?" Shiro nodded slowly and began to tell the events of last night. Ulquiorra shook his head at the other and grabbed the car keys. Grimmjow watched him and nodded. "Lets start to look for any signs of them before we assume the worse." Grimmjow said, seemingly reading the mans mind.
The room agreed and they all started looking, they all hoped for the best.
Ichigo woke up chained to the wall, his eyes refused to focus as he looked around. Upon further inspection he saw Renji next to him, in the same condition. The room was dank and there was no windows in sight. The door was heavy and locked from the outside. His entire body hurt and he found that he was only in his boxers along with Renji.
Despair settled in his stomach as the door opened and four figures stepped through.
AN: Muhahahahahaha. You're all gonna hate me~
