A/N: Sorry this took awhile. I was going to unload sooner, but there were two different ways I was thinking of to continue this story and I couldn't decide which one. But now I have! I hope you guys won't be too mad at me for my choice…
Btw- Anyone a fan of The 100? I'm thinking of doing some stories for it. I'm thinking of a bellamy/murphy fanfic with a grounder!bellamy twist. :)
Chapter 9: Somethings not alright
Previously:
We stumbled out the back way and into an alley. The person let me go and I backed up against the opposite wall, my heart pounding.
" P-please… don't hurt me…"
The person's face was covered with a black hoodie, but a soft voice whispered," I'm not going to hurt you my Ichi."
" What? Who are are you?"
Pale hands reached up and pulled the hood down. Skin white in moonlight, bright golden eyes and snow white hair.
" Shiro…."
"Shiro?"
He nodded with a small smile on his lips. " I missed you Ichi. So much."
My breath caught in my throat and I wrapped my arms around him tight, burying my face in his chest. He hugged me tight.
" I went to the place to see you, but they said you had already checked out. When you didn't come to see me I thought…"
Shiro pulled back and brought a hand up to push a lock of my hair back.
" I'm sorry," he said," I didn't mean to make you sad or to worry about me. I had some… stuff I needed to do before I came to see you."
" Some stuff? What stuff?" I questioned.
He bite his lip." A place for us. To be alone. Together."
I frowned. " We can be together here."
Shiro shook his head angrily. " No. No we can't. People won't like it. They will try to keep us apart again!"
" It's ok. They won't. I won't let them. I promise." I said softly, laying a hand against his chest. He put his hand over mine.
" You can't promise that. The only way we can truly be together is if we go away."
" Go away? Shiro, I can't go away. I have school, an apartment here, and my friends…"
His hand tightened around mine.
" Shiro…"
" I thought you loved me?" He growled.
" I do! I love you! But I have a life here. We don't have to go anywhere Shiro. We can be together here. I know you don't think so, but we can. I won't let anyone come between us again."
His expression saddened. " So that's a no?" He whispered.
" I'm sorry, but we can still… Ow! Shiro you're hurting me!" I gasped as he gripped my hand tight, digging his nails into my wrist.
He grabbed something white from in his jacket pocket before shoving me up against the brick wall behind me. He pressed the white piece of cloth over my mouth and nose. I struggled, trying to push his off me. He was too strong.
My visions started getting black around the edges. I could feel my heart thumping fast as I started to slip into unconsciousness.
" I won't let anyone come between us again either, Ichigo." He said softly.
That was the last thing I heard.
I woke up to a white ceiling and a headache. I groaned and sat up, looking around the room.
It was a small room. Big enough for the twin sized bed I was laying on, a bedside table, and a wooden dresser. The window above the bed flooded the room with soft, golden light. It was peaceful. Quite.
" Where am I?"
I swung my feet off the bed and onto the floor carefully, lifting myself out of bed. I noticed I was bare foot and only wearing an oversize t-shirt and underwear. I walked over to the wooden dresser and pulled opened the top draw. It was filled with socks and underwear. The one below it had shirts and the bottom one had jeans. All in my size. Wierd…
I quickly got dressed and slipped on the pair of sneakers that were beside the dresser. Also in my size.
I put my hand on the door handle of the room and twisted it. It clicked open. Outside of the room was a hallway with three more doors. I walked to the first door and opened it. It was the door to the bathroom. The door right next to it was a closet stocked with towels and other bathroom supplies. I moved on to the door across the otherside of the hall. I open it to find a room much like my own. It must be Shiro's room. I walked down the hallway and into the living room. It had a worn sofa and an old TV. The walls were a pale yellow and there were dark wooden floors. Leading from the living room was the kitchen. It was like the rest of the house, decorated in yellows with wooden floors. A small table was sitting in the middle of the kitchen. It reminded me of a farm house.
The kitchen had a screen door leading outside. I made my way to the door. It was unlocked like the other doors in the house. I pushed open the door and stepped out into the yard. It was warm and sunny outside.
As far as I could see there was only trees and green grass. Off to the side of the house there was a faded red barn. I walked to the old barn, but as I approach the door I saw a silver padlock on the handles. The barn was the only thing locked in this place. I heard a noise behind the barn. Sounded like squawking. A bird? I walked in the barn and saw some silver metal cages which had a few chickens in them. I walked over to inspect the cages. The chickens squawked loudly as I walked over to them.
" Shh. It's okay chickens. I'm not going to hurt you." I bent over and stuck my finger in one of the cages to pet one of the chicken's feathers gently. Something bumped the back of my thighs. I spun around surprised. I look down to find a small white goat in front of me. He looked up at me with his blue eyes. He was so cute.
" Aww look at you. You're such a cute small little thing!" I squatted down to to put his soft fur. He rubbed his face against my hand.
" You found your way outside. I wasn't certain how long you would be asleep." A voice behind me said. I stood up fast and turned around. It was Shiro. He was dressed in a white T-shirt and blue jeans with black work boots. He smiled at me gently.
" You kidnapped me, Shiro!" I yelled.
He frowned. " No I didn't…. I didn't… I mean I… I didn't want to hurt you, but you wouldn't come with me. I had too."
" That's kind of the definition of kidnapping! Where did you take me? Where are we?"
" Somewhere safe to be together. It's ok."
"It's ok?!" I scoffed," It's not ok! You kidnapped me and brought to god knows where! You can't just do that! Are you fucking crazy?!"
" I'M NOT CRAZY!" He screamed, his eyes burning with anger. He grabbed my arm and pushed me against the chicken cages. They fluttered their wings anxiously.
" Ok, ok. I'm sorry, Shiro… it's ok." I gasped.
" I'm not crazy. Don't say that to me!" He said roughly.
" I'm sorry…" I said. My hand touched something metal next to the chicken cage.
He stopped squeezing my arm. " I'm sorry. I didn't mean.. AAHHG!" Shiro screamed in rage as I brought my knee up between his legs. He dropped to the ground and I picked up the metal I felt, a shovel, and swung it towards his face. He whimpered and clutched his face as he was laying there.
I took off running behind the barn and climbed over the fence. I kept running till I got into the forest of trees. I leaned against one of the trees, breathing hard.
" Shit."
Where was I supposed to go? All I could see was trees and I didn't even know where I was.
I don't know what the hell happened to him, but he wasn't my Shiro anymore. Whatever they did to him at that hospital… It changed him.
" ICHIGOOO!" My head snapped up. Damn it!
" WHERE ARE YOU? YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME! I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU!"
I took off running in one direction, tripping over the ground as I went.
Shit, shit, shit! Where do I go? I looked around, but didn't see anything but trees. " I hate trees.." I mumbled.
Just then I saw a few lush, green bushes behind one of the many trees. I perfect hiding spot. I crawled underneath the bushes, my heart beating fast. I tried to calm my breathing.
I heard footsteps coming towards my hiding spot. He was close.
" Ichigo! Where are you? You can't leave you know. We're in the middle of nowhere! I made sure of that. You won't be able to leave on your own. Not before I find you."
I shifted my foot and heard a small crack. Fuck. I froze. Shiro was silent. He had heard me.
I darted out from under the bushes to run again, but before I could strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist in an iron grip. I screamed, struggling and thrashing in Shiro's arms.
" Let. Me. Go!" I pushed and Shiro threw me to the ground. Pain shot through my head as I slammed into the forest floor. I touched my hand to my head. My fingers were stained with dark red blood.
Shiro stepped towards me.
" N-no…" I whispered. My head spun. He lifted me up on his arms and started to walk back.
" Why would you do that to me, Ichigo? I love you. You shouldn't have ran from me." Shiro said.
After a few more minutes of walking I saw the red barn coming into view. Shiro walked around to the back of the barn.
I shook my head. " No… Please…."
Shiro tsked. " I'm sorry. I wouldn't have to do this if you hadn't run away." I heard the clink of a chain.
He walked down some stairs. Is this a basement? A cellar?
It was dark inside and smelled like damp earth. Shiro lowered me down onto the floor. I could feel dirt underneath my hands.
" Shiro…" I turned my head to the side.
" I'm sorry for this." He stated. The stairs creaked as he walked back up them. He turned around to stare down at me. " You're going to stay down here until I think you've learned your lesson."
" Until you're ready to be my good boy…"
