CHAPTER FIVE: CENTURIES
-Ichigo's POV-
Argh! I really really want him dead. What be did was unforgivable. Dom may never be able to hate him for long but I will always hate him.
And I will with good reason.
I can still hear Letty's and Mia's screams when we found them echoing in my ears. The screeching of my car's tires as I had tried to follow that car.
That pure white car. Jameson's car.
About a year ago Dom helped him off the streets like he had helped a lot of us. Jamison had quickly become one of the family, only for some drug runners to be holding us at gunpoint a few weeks later because they needed money and wanted the best racers in the city to win it for them. If we refused they were going to shoot Mia.
Worst of all Jamison was the one who led them to us.
We had given them the money after we had won it and as a goodbye present, Jamison decides to run Brian and Dom over with his pure white Corvette.
They were layed up in the hospital for a month. Dom was in a coma for 3 of those weeks, and Brian couldn't speak for the entire month.
The whole time they were in the hospital I was worried for their safety. Even though our records where whipped clean that doesn't mean that the majority of the cops out there have a grudge against us.
Luckily Sarge heard about it and made his way over. Even though he is a cop, I and Dom both kinda consider him a little bit as a family and I think his thoughts are around the same area. He had stopped the wet behind the ears cops from taking Dom to a prison's hospital while he was still in a coma and Brian to a cell.
I was never more thankful to him.
When Dom woke up he had forgiven Jamison after a week and a half. 'He is still family always will be.'
I had gotten angry with him that day and left in a rage. I went on a rampage in my soul for killing hollows.
30,456,798. After 30,456,798 hollows I still was able to calm down. I went back to where Dom was and apologized to him for getting angry, he just smiled at me.
Sometimes I think he is too kind for his own good.
I sighed and looked to the time on the dashboard. Seeing as it was an hour and a half since I left school, I decided to pick up the pace a little.
I sped up weaving around cars and passing by green lights a split second before they turn red.
I still feel the Shinigami following me. I need to get answers for why they are here.
But I can't do that now. Looking away from the road, still weaving in and out between other cars, I picked up my phone and dialed Dom.
After 2 rings he picked up.
"Hey."
"Hey, Dom. I'm on my way back home."
"Good. Did everything go alright?"
"Ichigo."
"Yea. It went fine Dom. I got the parts. Though he is going to have to replace all the glass in his garage."
He sighed, "Ichi."
"I know, I know. Not the smartest thing. If he starts hitting on you for money for it I'll pay it. Nothing to worry about, just a little slip-up."
"...Alright. Again I'm sorry for making you go over there to get them."
"Don't worry about it. I agreed to get them anyways."
He hummed over the phone and I could hear childish laughter in the background. "Brian, Mia, and Jack are still there?"
"No. Brian and Mia went out for a while left Jack with Uncle Dom. Right now he is asking to talk to you." I could hear the smile on his face.
I smiled, "Give him the phone."
A beard some shuffling before a childish voice came through, "Uncle ICHI!"
"Hey, little man! Whatcha doin'?"
"Playing with my cars!"
"Really! That's awesome little man! Which are your favorite today?"
"The mustan'!" He said not quite pronouncing it correctly.
I fake pouted, "Oh man. It's not the Tron this time. I bet Uncle Dom is pouting just like me."
He giggled I heard Dom chuckle. "Hey, Jack you excited to watch your Uncle's beat you dad in the race tonight?"
He giggled as he replied, "Naha! Daddy's gonna win! Then you and Uncle Dom and Aunt Letty will have to get the pizza for me, and mommy, and daddy!"
"We'll see about that little man. Either way, someone's gonna get your pizza so you have nothing to worry about." I replied chuckling.
"Hehehehe Yea!"
"Hey, Jack how about when I get there I give you a ride."
"YEA!" He sounds so excited for a ride on my shoulders.
"Alright I'm almost there so can you give the phone back to Uncle Dom?"
"Ok!...Here Uncle Dom! Uncle Ichi is almost home!"
"Thanks, buddy...Ichi?"
"I'm here."
"Good. You know you're going to have to keep that promise?"
"Yea I know. I pulled in now so I'll let you go."
"Alright." I hung up and pulled the keys out of the ignition.
I grabbed the box and shut the door behind me. I got to the garage to see Dom having his head inside the car. I leaned on it and looked at what he was doing.
"UNCLE ICHI!" I heard Jack yell and run up to me from the backyard.
"Hey, little man," I said as he lifted his arms up. I picked him up and put him on my shoulders, "You have a good day today?"
"Yep! I even helped Uncle Dom!"
"Yep, you did. Big help too." Dom said he probably just brung him tools but hey what's the harm and sugar coating it.
"That's awesome Jack! You want this?" I said holding out a dumdum lollipop for him.
He smiled and took it popping into his mouth after the wrapper was gone. Dom and I chuckled.
"You know Mia is gonna get you for spoiling him."
"Oh, what's the harm, besides you are just as bad."
"No comment." It was my turn to laugh as he went back to work.
I watched him for a second and eyed a scar on his neck from when the incident with Jamison happened.
And all I could think of was how I wasn't able to protect them.
