CHAPTER 5
Uryuu held on to Ichigo's hand and ran aimlessly for what seems like hours before they both ran out of breath and collapsed on the ground.
"N-Nandaio, Uryuu! I can understand why he wanted to kill us, but why was your dad at our clinic?" Ichigo panted
"Like hell would I know, Bakka!" Uryuu snapped, "He had always suspected something between us, I guess he just had a hunch I was with you when he tried to visit me tonight, he's scary that way!"
"And was it just me, or does our dads seem to have a long history together?" Ichigo asked again.
Uryuu eyes widened at Ichigo, so he caught it too?
"What the hell are you saying, Kurosaki?"
"Bakka, don't tell me you didn't catch wind of what they were saying to each other, before we were too far away, I heard my old man saying something about settling an old grudge?" Ichigo demanded
Uryuu closed his eyes and swallowed hard, refusing to let the tears surface,
"You don't want to know Ichigo, trust me, it's better that you don't."
Now Ichigo was really pissed, and at the same time an unsettling thought about his dad's and Ryuuken's status came to him,
"You sound like you know what happened Uryuu, tell me."
Uryuu shook his head fervently,
"No! just please, stop asking Ichigo!"
Ichigo went over to Uryuu and held his face,
"Hey, what's wrong Uri-kun, talk to me."
Uryuu shook his head sadly,
"No Ichigo, it would be better if you don't know."
Ichigo furrowed his brow, and gave Uryuu his infamous Doom Glare,
"You know that just makes me want to know even more, right? Now spill it!"
Uryuu started to protest,
"Ichigo it's better if- -"
"I know what's better for me, and if this is something that has to do with my dad, don't you think I deserve to know?"
Uryuu opened his mouth to object but caught Ichigo's intense chocolate eyes boring into him and gave in
"Ok, I'll tell you, but only if you promise not to hate your dad afterward."
Ichigo was taken aback
"Why would I? was what he did that bad?"
Uryuu sighed,
"It's just that, what I'm about to tell you is the reason why I hate my dad, and I'm miserable for it; I don't want the same to happen to you and your dad, you two have a funny way of showing it, but I know you love and look up to him very much, and he treasures you. I don't want this to ruin your relationship."
"Okay, like I've said before, let me decide that, just tell me what you know, please?"
Uryuu closed his eyes and let out a heavy sigh,
"It was seven years ago, right before mom got into the accident, mom and dad were fighting again, they thought I wasn't around but I was hiding in the closet, crying….."
Seven Years Earlier, Ishida resident
"Yui, let's talk about this, let me explain!" Ishida Ryuuken called out to his wife, holding her back from packing her bag
"What is there to talk about, Ryuuken? This is what you want right? He's free now, so I'll free you too, I'll take Uryuu and leave, and you can run to his side!" Yui shouted tearfully
"Yui, this is crazy! Would you listen to yourself? There is nothing going on between that man and myself!" Ryuuken raised his voice
"LIES! Don't you dare look me in the eye and lie to me, don't you tell me there's nothing going on when everyone at the memorial saw how you two looked at each other, how you HELD each other!" Yui cried more hysterically
"I was merely comforting a friend! Kurosaki just lost his wife, Yui, it's only natural that he totally broke down, and Masaki was a very good friend of mine, It's only natural for me to mourn her death!"
"It was not merely comfort! How tight you were holding him, the intense sorrow in your eyes, You've never even TOUCHED me that way!"
"You've never ALLOWED me to touch you that way!"
"NO! YOU have never allowed yourself to touch me that way, how can you when you don't even love me!"
"Stop it, Yui, why would I marry you if I've never loved you?"
"BECAUSE YOU FELT OBLIGATED! BECAUSE IT'S YOUR DUTY! Admit it Ryuuken, Our marriage, our family, our son, it was all out of obligations! It's your duty to produce an heir for the Quincy line, so you got married and bore a child; I doubt you even love our son-"
"Now you've gone too far, woman! How could you even think that? Of course I love our son!"
"LIES! You don't love him, you're barely even a father to him! Since he was an infant, have you ever carried him? Talked to him? Look at him for more than a minute!"
"You know I'm busy with work, I'm the Dean of Kakara Medicine, woman!"
"That's just your excuse! If you wanted time with your family, you would make time for your family."
Ryuuken brushed back his hair impatiently and turned to leave
"I've got work to do, I don't have time for your estrogen-induced rabid nonsense!"
"YES! LEAVE! Walk away from me! Walk away from your family! Go run into your lover's arm! Maybe this time it won't be a repeat of 13 years ago!" Yui taunted.
"ENOUGH!" Ryuuken cried, as he turned around and struck his wife across the face, without even thinking. But it was his son, not his wife who he had struck, and now laid on the ground. Ryuuken froze as he realized what he had done, throughout their rocky marriage, there has been much fighting, but Ryuuken had never laid a hand on his wife, let alone his son. His eyes immediately filled with horror and regret as he looked down at his wife and son.
Without them realizing it, little Uryuu had been hiding in the closet crying the whole time his parents were fighting. He had peaked out from the slit in the closet, and witnessed the whole fight, and when he saw that his dad was about to strike his mom, he had jumped out between them and cried
"YAMERU!"
"U-Uryuu...I—I….what were you doing in the closet?" Ryuuken stuttered
8-year old Uryuu stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, the whole time glaring at his dad with pure hatred.
"I heard you two fighting so I hid in the closet, and just as well, I was able to protect my mom from you!"
Ryuuken eyes widened in shock and hurt as he looked down at his only son, who now looked at him as if he was a monster. Uryuu turned to his mom and helped her up,
"Come on mom, we're leaving."
Back to the Present
"Me and mom ended up going to Grandpa's. If you remembered, mom filed for divorce before confronting your dad the next day."
"Yeah," Ichigo responded, "I still remember Dad sitting me down and telling me that Yui-obasan had joined Mom in paradise when I woke up the next day. From the police report, she was distressed and wasn't paying attention and walked right in front of a car in the middle of the road."
"Yeah." Uryuu responded weakly, bowing his head to hide the tears threatening to flow.
"I'm sorry, Uri-kun, Ashiteru." Ichigo said softly as he wrapped his arms around Uryuu's from behind.
"Bakka, I told you, Love mean not having to say sorry, and it wasn't as if it was your fault."
"Okay, I know….Aishiteru."
Uryuu laid back against Ichigo's chest,
"Aishiteru, Ichi-kun."
They laid there on the grass in silence for a while before Ichigo's mind came back to his original question
"So, Yui-san believed that our dads was in an affair huh?"
"Yeah," Uryuu responded softly, relaxed in his boyfriend's arms.
"What do you think?" Ichigo asked suddenly,
Uryuu sat up and looked at Ichigo,
"What do you mean?"
Ichigo rolled his eyes,
"what do you think I mean? Do you believe that our fathers had an affair?"
Uryuu pondered for a little before responding,
"I believe my mom had a good reason to believe they were."
Ichigo rolled his eyes again
"Jeez, calculated and deflecting as always."
Uryuu gave a small chuckle
"Sorry, I know it annoy the hell out of you. But what do you think?"
"I don't believe it was an affair," Ichigo responded, "I believe they were together and very much in love, and for some reason it didn't work out, and it happened before they got together with our mothers."
Uryuu raised his brow at Ichigo's detailed answer,
"Wow, didn't realize you were capable of such thoughts inside that thick strawberry head of yours. "
"Shut up." Ichigo snapped affectionately
Uryuu gave another chuckle,
"But what makes you think that is so?"
Ichigo shrugged,
"I don't know, call it hunch? Either way, it does explain a lot."
Uryuu was confused again,
"What do you mean?"
Ichigo shrugged again,
"Well, it explains their friendship, and why your dad hates my dad, and why he is so strongly opposed to you being with me."
Uryuu chuckled,
"How are you sure it's not just the fact that you're a guy, or the fact that it's just you he don't like?"
"Because," Ichigo answered seriously, "if your mom was right, that would make him a big hypocrite, and you've told me before that your dad knew about you and Chad, and he was okay with Chad, so it's not the fact that you're gay, and c'mon, why else would your dad hate a nice boy like me?" he added playfully.
Uryuu laughed,
"THAT, is totally subjective."
Ichigo smiled, he love making Uryuu laugh,
"Aishiteru, watashi no Uri-chan."
Uryuu smiled softly up at Ichigo in return,
"Aishiteru, watashi no Ichi-kun."
Ichigo kept his eyes on Uryuu as he lower him back down on the grass and laid on top of him. They started kissing and as Ichigo's lips traveled down Uryuu's neck, his arms went under Uryuu's shirt and started up his body…..
Back at the Kurosaki clinic; in Ichigo's room
Ryuuken pushed Isshin into a wall, and started for the window
"Get out of my way!"
Isshin grabbed Ryuuken's shoulder and slammed him back into a wall
"Like hell I will!"
Ryuuken pushed Isshin off him, and tried to go after the boys again
"I will not ask again. LET ME GO"
Isshin grabbed him and pinned him against the wall again,
"And I will not tell you again, I'M NOT LETTING YOU HURT OUR SONS!"
Ryuuken managed to push Isshin off again
"I will not allow my son to make the same mistake I did, I WILL NOT LET ANOTHER KUROSAKI HURT ANOTHER ISHIDA!"
Isshin managed to pull Ryuuken back and pin him down again, this time, on Ichigo's bed.
"And I'm telling you, KUROSAKI ICHIGO IS NOT KUROSAKI ISSHIN, AND ISHIDA URYUU IS NOT ISHIDA RYUUKEN!"
Ryuuken did not understand why he did what he did next, but at that moment, Isshin looked so sexy he couldn't help but kiss him passionately. Ryuuken was alarmed at his action but decided to use it to his advantage, as Isshin's body softened under the kiss, Ryuuken took the advantage and rolled Isshin under him, breaking off the kiss almost relunctantly.
"Now," he started breathlessy, "If you'll excuse me, I got two dead young men to go after."
Isshin gave him a lecherous grin and tightened their embrace,
"sorry, you'll have to escape from me first."
With that he flipped them over so that Ryuuken was once again under him, and started kissing him roughly, working to remove Ryuuken's shirt and his own. By the time they broke the kiss breathlessly, Ryuuken had been stripped completely naked, and Isshin was down to his briefs.
"We seriously need to talk." Isshin panted through a lecherous grin.
