wow it's been a while scince i last updated a story, i didnt have internet but i wanted to put soemthing up just in case anyone was waiting on me so here is a quick little chapter.
Remember to comment and review! A NEW FRIEND Yuzu was laying in Rangiku's bed trying to understand what emotions she should be feeling right now as she clung to the white sheets that were shared between her and Toshiro. Looking over a the ragged white hair falling over Toshiro's closed eyes it mentally hit her that she had actually gone through with having sex for the first time. There wasn't much to remember about it because of the alcohol fogging her memory but what was able to be pieced together about the sex wasn't bad but it wasn't as good as she imagined it to be either. It hurt a lot and even though it was probably a good thing for Toshiro's male pride it lasted a really long time. For her first time she though it would have been romantic instead of the random movement of drunken teenage lust and sloppy kissing. Now it felt like a wasted precious milestone in her life that she gave away as easily as someone would a stale piece of bread. She slipped from beneath the sheets making sure not to wake up Toshiro to grab her clothes that were thrown around the room. She didn't want to speak with him now and was grateful he had fallen into a deep drunken sleep not long after he had finish. Tipp-toeing back into the living room she whispered Karin's name but stopped at the corner of the small hallway to see her sister sprawled on the floor underneath Jinta. Karin's eyes were closed tightly as she let the few tears that leaked through roll down her face and onto the floor. Karin never allowed herself to cry or outwardly show pain but this was the last straw of bad events and this one broke her. Before she had even fully realized it her virginity was gone and she felt like a slut. Jinta had been a close friend for years but had never been the one she meant to give something so important. Jinta's mumbled her name showing he was half awake "Karin we-we should get out of here …Ichigo must be worried about us." she stayed at the corner as Karin dragged herself from underneath Jinta's limp body. She hurriedly put her clothes on and lead their way out the front door and onto the busy street filled with the familiar faces of kids they knew from school. Karin didn't mind leaving Jinta naked and alone at all with him being the horny dog that thrusted himself on her in the first place. Jinta was an immature prankster who she loved in a brotherly way and with this stupid sexual encounter between them she wasn't' quite sure she would be able to picture him as her family any longer. This was just too awful. Boys from the soccer team saw the girls and ran to catch up with them from the video store they had been browsing in after school had ended. They boys asked Karin and Yuzu where they had been all day but Karin just looked in the opposite direction to keep them from seeing the tears in the brims of her eyes. These were her team mates and they thought of her as a leader and idol, crying was something peopling in her position did not do. "We went back to the doctor. We thought there was something wrong with Ichigo this morning so we took him to the hospital and now we're busy so I'll just see you guys at the next game" she grabbed Yuzu's hand and waved goodbye as they zig zagged through the crowded street. Karin didn't stop running till Yuzu was short of breath and gasping for air. They were in the park not far from the apartment but they didn't want to go home knowing Ichigo would be mad and probably could tell from the looks on their faces what a mistake they just made because he had made the same face months ago. "Karin, how are we going to explain to Ichigo where we were all day?" "I don't know we'll just tell him something we have a good chance of him believing." she played with a blade of grass, twisting it between her fingers till it fell apart "It's not like it's going to matter anyway. He'll care more about our second strike than where we actual were.""Oh yeah… I guess we messed up a lot today." "Yeah but if we follow the rules from now on and keep out of trouble we might be ok." they sat in the park watching people enjoy their leisure time taking their children to the park or jogging with their slobbering dogs. It was windy and chilly in the shade of the line of trees the girls were sitting but they just sat in silence thinking. What would they say to the two boys they had given their virginity to so hastily? Jinta had been a good friend all these years to the both of them since Renji and Ichigo began being friends their first year of high school. But now the relationship between him and Karin would be awkward having this memory lingering over them. Adding that because Karin was Yuzu's sister she would have more loyalty to her than to Jinta so she most likely would avoid him if that was what Karin asked of her. Karin had decided to sweep all of what had happened today under the rug like her other issues knowing the inevitable of it blowing up in Karin's face. Problems aren't easily forgotten in situations such as this. Before today Karin had not even known Jinta had been interested in her that way ,she had always been sure he felt that way for Yuzu the way he always thought so highly of her. At school he always voted in Yuzu's favor when she was going out for clubs or sports and always wanted to be grouped with her for projects. It was true that Karin was more equal to him in athletics and interest but she always assumed that was why it was such a natural easy going friendship. As for Yuzu she really had just meat Toshiro. She didn't even know anything about him people in love or in a relationship were suppose to know about one another. What was his favorite color? Did he like animals? For god sakes was she even the first person he had ever slept with? Karin had the comfort of knowing she and Jinta were both healthy and lost their virginity to each other but Yuzu didn't know any of that. They always kissed more than talked when they were together so if they did have time to speak it was usually to say good-bye or that they heard Matsumoto or Ichigo coming and should stop what they were doing. The age difference between them made their relationship have to be a well kept secret so when ever Toshiro was left alone with her he had to stay on guard in case someone else came in and he would have to pretend nothing was going on seconds before he or she had entered the room. After the chill became a bit too much for the girls they went to the only person they thought wouldn't be furious at them, Orihime. She left a message tell Ichigo where the twins were and that she would find out what the two of them had been up to all day. Ichigo had been told to go home and wait for Karin or Yuzu to come home but there was something he felt he had to do first. He went to see if parents for the first time alone. He just needed someone to listen to his problems with out a response or questions he had no answer for. Their graves were at the top of a steep hill that he had to take a few breaks between his climb but when he got there it was the same as it had been the last time on the day of the funeral for his dad. The two headstones shined brightly in the afternoon sun reflecting on the gold lettering spelling out his parents' names. He sat in front of the two structures and watched a line of ants pass by his shoes as he started having his conversation with the only people he wished to talk to. "He mom, hey dad. You guys know I'm terrible at this type of stuff but I guess you're the right people to come and tell all my problems to I guess. After all you are my parents …even if you're dead." It was a little harder than he expected it to be to find the right words but it steadily got easier. "I have the feeling Karin and Yuzu are being rebellious or whatever you would call it when preteens start acting like kids having a sugar rush mixed with crazy hormones and a broken family. But if I don't figure some way they might be taken away to live with total strangers. I could use some of that crazy stupid advice you always gave right about now dad." Pouring out his entire list of problem made him feel better and seemed to make his anger toward his sisters not as bad as it would have been for them. But deep down he knew he was not mad but more likely that he was upset that he might be right about the gut feeling he had about why his sisters decided to skip school today. Back when he was fooling around with Grimmjow he would do anything the guy wanted from staying away from home for days at a time to going along with Grimmjow when he wanted to steal stuff .So he knew first hand how it felt to act like a puppet to please someone else. He was praying though as he made the long way home that his assumption of his baby sisters losing their virginity was wrong. They were just kids and they didn't need to be doing grown-up things like having sex. Hell if he could he would take back him having any sex. Finally making it home which seemed to take forever with his weight and sore feet making him move twice as slow as he usually moved lately. He fumbled in his pocket to find the key to the door among the other useless junk like pens and random change when an unfamiliar voice spoke up from his right. "Hi I'm Nel Tu Oderschvank. I moved in early this afternoon and I think I might have made the mistake of ,well boxing up my key with my clothes; and I was wondering if I could use your phone to call someone to help me" she was a cute girl dressed in a light green dress that matched the color her hair was dyed and a noticeable scar that came down between her eyes. "Uh…. sure you can use my phone and I'm Ichigo Kurosaki by the way." he found the key in his pocket letting Nel enter before him while she gave a smile showing off a pair of larger than average incisors. They were sort of like vampire teeth in a way but they looked good on her, strangely complementing her innocent appearance. Her teeth also helped in giving him something to focus on other than her large chest only being held back by her thin strapped knee length dress. Another symptom lately was his increase in feelings of sexual need so he couldn't even look at Yoruichi who was practically his mom now without thinking something perverted and if that was bad looking at Nel was twice as horrible. But then he noticed she wasn't wearing any shoes. "Where are your shoes?' "Oh I don't know I didn't really notice I didn't have any on. I was running late to register for school and I must have just forgot them." she shrugged and dialed a lock smith. Ichigo wondered to himself how she could have walked the three blocks to the school without noticing. "The man said the earliest he could make it would be tomorrow morning so if I'm not intruding I was wondering if I could stay with you?" "I don't mind weirder things than having a new neighbor stay over have happened." "That's so incredibly nice of you!" her face light up and she jumped in place having complements spill out of mouth to show her gratitude. "My room's over there you can look around and find something to wear to sleep and after I call around to see where my sister's are I'll get you a tooth brush ." Nel skipped off to his room as Ichigo sighed to himself and checked his messages. Hearing the message Orihime had left this afternoon he decided to call and check up on them since it was pretty late in the night now. "Hey thanks Orihime you're doing me a huge favor by doing this for me. Did you find out where they where all day?""Uh they didn't do… much. They went to the arcade and some other places." it was hard for her to lie to Ichigo but the twins had begged for her not to tell what they had done. "No big deal…Rukia will be here in a minute and we thought we could have a sleep over at my house. That's if it's alright with you after all Ichigo if you want me to send them home I will. Rukia said that she thought it would be better for us to talk to them for a while though." "Yeah maybe she's right you guys know more about them lately than I do. Tell them to call me in the morning and that I …you know… love em' and stuff." "Night Ichigo I'll make sure to tell them that. See you at school." "See you at school." Now he had the security of knowing his sisters were alright but now he had to deal with the girl he said could stay with him. "Nel you find something to wear?" he walked in to see her in nothing but her bra and panties that were dark green bent over browsing through the pile of shirts Rukia had brought for him. "Where the hell are your clothes! You could have at least told me not to come in if you weren't dressed yet!" "I'm not naked I have my underwear on." she said this as she snapped the waist band. "Pulse were old enough now to handle being undressed in front of people of the opposite gender." she saw in the corner the baby on board t-shirt Ichigo had thrown there this morning and crawled across his bed to get it "This is cute you should wear this and I'll take one of the ones on the bed." "No it's not cute it's stupid and as long as you wear any clothes I'm fine!" he was blushing hard which made the baby painfully start to kick and swim around from his excitement. "Come on Ichi it be fun!" she held the shirt up to him and pressed herself against him at the same time as he protested "Your blushing Ichi that's so sweet. But if you don't put the shirt on I wont put one on either." She backed up and stuck her tongue out childishly. Unclasping her bra and shaking her hips from side to side she said "And I'll really get naked and make you even more uncomfortable!" He threw on the shirt as fast as he could saying as he pulled his head through the hole "I'm starting to regret letting you in." "Oh you don't know how many times I've heard someone say that to me but I promise I'll behave now. I was just messing with you; you're so adorable with your face all red while you're sexually frustrated." She found the smallest looking shirt in the pile which was still pretty big and put it on. It was a plain blue one that was still short enough to make Ichigo insist on her wearing a pair of his sweats to cover herself. They ordered something to eat and sat on the couch watching TV and slurping noodles. Nel told Ichigo how she had been living with her grandfather in a town not far from Katakura but felt she was burdening him because he was so old and shouldn't have to be worrying about her all time. So when one of her other family members said they wanted him to go and live in their house without Nel she moved to Katakura where she grew up with the money she had been saving from working a couple of odd jobs for the neighbors who was a small buisness owner. "Why didn't they want you to come and live with them too?" Ichigo slurped a noodle "Did they not have enough room or something cause it's sort of rude to just leave you on your own like that." "No I expected that. My family is really small and my grandpa is the only one that sees any good in me anymore." "What is that suppose to mean ? You seem pretty nice to me a little on the crazy side but nice." "You wouldn't want to hear about It." she took the rest of the left over food into the kitchen but Ichigo was still prodding her to go on with her story. "Come on if were going to be neighbors I should know more about you than you eat a lot and wear green underwear." "Ok but just don't judge me on account of who I use to be alright." Nel up until two years ago leaved in Katakura town but attended a different high school than Ichigo and the others so they never meet till now. She had a normal childhood but when she was ten her parents got a divorce when her mom found out her dad had been having affairs with other woman since she got pregnant with Nel. That never was patched up. So After they were separated they kept trying to show the other who was the better parent buy buying her whatever she wanted and spending every penny they could on whatever they thought a girl her age would want. But Nel was a simplistic person who didn't need a lot of possessions to be happy and felt more like a prize than a daughter so she went looking for the affection she longed for from random men who were perverted and didn't mind that she was only a child. They told her how beautiful she was and how good she smelled to them but it still wasn't the right type of affection or thrill she wanted. She didn't want to be a prize or a slab of meat for horny dogs to fight over. She wanted to be taboo. An object no one could tame or predict what she would do next so she became every type of woman men longed to have but never could keep as she developed into teenager. The party girl, the sex icon, the uncontrollable whirl wind. All of these and more she mixed into a cocktail personality that was irresistible or everyone that saw her walk down the conservative streets of Katakura in tight shirts and high heels. That's when she reeled in the attention of Grimmjow Jabber jack. She had been flirting with a man trying to get him to buy her a necklace she saw in the glass case. She didn't really want it but just knowing she could make a complete stranger do what she wanted without lifting a finger was amusing. It was a purple butterfly, set inside a silver flower on a short chain sitting inside the glass case accompanied by other quality pieces of jewelry. The man was in his mid thirties which isn't old but getting attention from Nel made him feel younger and sexier than he had in a few years. In the process of pulling out a wad of money to buy the necklace the man was pushed aside as Grimmjow reached into the case as soon as the jeweler opened it, snatched the necklace and took Nell's arm and ran. He had been watching her from behind the large glass window outside and seeing the chance to impress her he ran inside. They ran into an alley that was untouched by the summer sun where Grimmjow dragged the cool metal across her cleavage before clasping it around her neck. She hadn't felt a rush of adrenaline like that in her life and that day she left home to live among the Espada. She thought of that time as a gangster to be the best and worst years of her life. On the good side she became a highly respected member, number three in ranking, and had a man that fulfilled all of the needs she thought needed to be filled. But on the darker side she had never been a violent person and being a Espada made her have to hurt a lot of people she might not have known but that had family and friends that would have to later find out their loved one was left for dead in the harsh streets because of her. And even though Grimmjow said he loved her and truly meant it he didn't feel like the one. The person you know was meant especially to be with you make you have emotion that runs through your body like fire and drives you to the point where you just want more and more. Grimmjow was cold .So when the thrill had warn off and the heavy weight of guilt for past crimes wore her down she had to get away. And one day she just picked up her bags from the trashed interior of the abandon warehouse she and others had made their nest of felons and petty criminals kissed Grimmjow and said " I'm leaving and if you drag me back I'll just run again and again till you get sick of coming after me." Then Bolted up the stair and into the night with out a sliver of moonlight to guide her through the empty streets. Grimmjow was never one that got use to not having what he wanted and he wanted Nell all to himself so as she expected he sent his thugs running after her ordering they bring her back or to not come back until they did. She ran for hours eventually dropping all but one of her bags to keep up speed and because she was much smarted than the people following her she was able to shake them off her trail and jump on the first bus she saw heading out of Katakura Town without leaving any clue of where she would have gone to. Ichigo looked dully at Nell. This girl had been with Grimmjow before him. If she hadn't of fled she would have been still with Grimmjow and he would have never had anything to do with the guy aside from that one fight they had together. He wouldn't be pregnant and his dad wouldn't have been alone at the clinic and died because of the commotion. "Ichigo you promised you wouldn't hold all of that against me so why are you looking at me so evilly?" "I didn't promise you anything." Nel gave a look of disappointment. "I should have expected as much from you. Everyone thinks I'm still that girl that was confused and screwed everything that walked then went from house to house taking what she wanted and bringing it back to her gang leader. But you don't know me and I don't need anything from you either!" Nel stripped the sweats off and throw them in Ichigo's face "I don't need your clothes, your food or your stupid couch to sleep on I'll sleep in the freaking park!" Ichigo felt ashamed as he pulled the sweats from his face to see the poster of his mother hanging on the wall behind Nell's head. His mom would never have accepted him treating someone this way because he wanted to push the reasons for his problems on someone else. Even if Grimm had stayed with Nell doesn't mean everything that has happened would have been any different. "Here Nell I'm sorry I just have some issues of my own that kinda fit in with some of yours." "Like what? I already found out about you and Grimm when I was at the school but that's no reason to get mad at me!" "You know about that?" "Duh you have a watermelon for a stomach and I would be ok labeling Grimm as a sex addict so two and two together means your having his baby. So just cuz me and him had a thing for each other doesn't mean I'll be stepping on your toes or anything to get him back. I don't want him he's cool but he would be a better friend for me than a lover." Ichigo made a sad look at Nel ,"We are not together and I don't want him. He told me to get rid of it as soon as he found out about it and when I didn't he broke in and punched me. He's an a-hole and I don't want him around." Ichigo sat on the couch remembering the last time Grimmjow decided to visit and how the bruise on his side still hadn't fully gone away. Nel pulled him by his hand to make him stand. She was a lot stronger than he imagined her to be with being as petite as she was and was lead to sit on his bed as she switched on his desk lamp and made herself comfortable. Ichigo propped himself on his pile of pillows and tried to not look at the pair of panties that were in full view now without Nel wearing his sweats any more. He could also see the number three tattooed on her lower back surrounded by wilted flowers. "Grimm told me he dreamed of having the perfect little family before he started the Espada group. He wanted to live in a good sized house with a son to teach how to fight and a daughter to see what it would be like to have a girl he could walk down the aisle on her wedding day." Ichigo was surprised by that. He could never picture Grimm to actually want to be a father the way he had acted. "Back then he thought that would be me. The woman he loved and could raise a family with. Or maybe he just hoped all of those things would pull him out of the messed up life he has. But to get there he actually wanted me to get pregnant so I don't know why he would reject you this way." she moved herself to share the pile of pillows and rested her head on Ichigo's shoulder tracking the words baby on board on his t-shirt. " I do know though that he has a lot of personal demons that no one but him can fix but he doesn't think there's a problem. So Take my advice and don't hold your breath in thinking that he won't try and hurt that baby if that dream has changed but also know you have me now as a friend and I'll do my best to make sure nothing happens that you don't want to happen." Ichigo felt better having Nell with him. She may be crazy and have a past she held from people from fear of their judgment but she willingly cared for him as much as his friends he has known for years. "Ichigo we let ourselves in Rukia mentioned today that you wanted to hang out so we got some food and some movies and what the hell?!"
