Okay everyone, on to part two!
So Ichigo is now without powers, but luckily (or not) he still has his memories. Since there is no Urahara anymore, Ichigo doesn't know how he will be able to break into the Soul Society. He figures that he is in a dead end here and starts to be depressed. Unfortunately his university life is about to start and his friends without memories Keigo, Tatsuki and Mizuiro are more than eager to cheer him up, although they have no idea why he is downXD Again I don't own Bleach, Vampire knight, Ai no Kusabi or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles;)
Beep : Good morning Karakura Town. Finally for all you newbies out there, it is your first day at University. Get up and start the day with some good energy and a healthy:Booohaha! Bad spirits be gone!
Dear God, Ichigo still hated it when he did that. He violently hit his alarm clock in order to shut the annoying voice down. Although Kanojin doesn't remember him and therefore stopped hanging around looking for his "students", he still manages to get on the boy's nerves. It got even worse after his show became popular again and he got his hands on a radio programme...Great, now Ichigo had less chance escaping him. Escaping the past...
He did not want to think about it, yet it had haunted him in his dream again.
It had been two month since he woke up in the Karakura hospital. Some neighbours heard loud noises coming from the Kurosaki clinic and called the police. The police broke into the house, only to find it completely destroyed from the inside and a male student lying wounded and unconscious in his bed. They took him immediately to the hospital. He remembers waking up there and finding Tatsuki and her parents sitting next to his bed. Their severn faces when they told him that his house had been destroyed and his family had gone missing were still visible in front of his eyes. When he asked about Orihime, Chad and Ishida, they looked at him puzzled. "Who is Orihime?" Tatsuki then asked, making Ichigo look at her in horror. "Tatsuki, if this is a joke than it is not funny. You know who she is. You two have been best friends since middle school!" She just looked at him as if he had just told her that his name is Leonardo, the teenage mutant ninja turtle, and his comrades Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo had gone missing( Yay, movie comig out this year;))
Finally he remembered: Tatsuki's memories were sealed. She doesn't remember anyone.
The same happened with Keigo and Mizuiro, who came to visit him later. They all forgot about the Soul Society. Now they would be able to live their normal everyday life like everyone else. Like they should. Like Ichigo should.
Still with his memories and knowledge still present, Ichigo could not relax. What if a Hollow showed up and he would not be able to sense it? If it attacked anyone near him before a shinigami would be able to purify it? He was no longer able to protect the ones he cared about. That was the worst.
Slightly followed by the feeling of being left behind by the persons he once called his nakama in battle. He felt betrayed. And with his bond to Rukia, that was still untouched, it made it unbearable. Ichigo missed all of them, but mostly his sisters and his dad. Although he was sure that nothing bad would happen to them, he missed them so badly. He was alone, all alone in his own personal hell with no way out.
Somehow after laying in bed for a while, he managed to push these thoughts away and to get up. Since there was no crazy dad to wake him up in the morning, he had to use his stupid alarm radio and since there was no caring Yuzu, he was forced to reduce his breakfast to toast and other easily and quickly prepared snacks. Also he didn't live in the Clinic, that had been almost destroyed, but in a little appartement. It wasn't that bad, considering the price.",Well, anyway after one year I will definitely leave Karakura and move to Tokyo.", he thought while taking a sip from his coffee.
Today was a special day: Ichigo was supposed to start his freshmen year at University of Tokyo.
So he finally took off, leaving behind an empty apartment and heading towards the station.
It would have been so much easier to just place himself inside the underground train to Tokyo, put on his headphones and ignore everyone around him. No, that would have been too easy, wouldn't it?
"Goooooood Moooorrrnnniiinnngg IIIIccchhhiiiiigoooooooooooooo!" Keigo announced while rushing towards him. " Yeah, good morning Keigo, Mizuiro. Where is Tatsuki?" he mindlessly asked, completely ignoring Keigo, who crashed into one of the pillars, expecting Ichigo to stop him before.
"HEYYYY! Ichigooo-".
"She said she would be here a few minutes later, so we should wait for her." Mizuiro answered in his calm voice, ignoring Keigo as well. Latter one fell into a state of depression after realizing that his friends' attention wasn't on him.
Tatsuki arrived a few minutes later, panting heavily and swaying her hand in apology:" Sorry you guys, my mom was so excited this morning, that she fired up our kitchen, poured milk on my shirt and made a mess out of my papers."
" Wow, sometimes I am happy that I just live with my psych-sister", Keigo sighed, " but still sometimes I wished she would disappear as well. Just yesterday.." He was cut off by Tatsuki's elbow in his ribcage and a death glare from Mizuhiro. That's when he realized what Ichigo must have felt upon hearing those looked up to his orange-haired friend, whose eyes were focused on the railways in front of them. Keigo slapped himself mentally and looked away.
At 7:30 pm the train arrived. It was luckily still empty( for japanese standards) and all four were able to find seats without being squeezed like sardines.
While Keigo, Tatsuki and Mizuhiro were quickly engaged in a conversation about not having to wear school uniforms in university anymore and all those new things awaiting them, Ichigo was somewhere completely different with his thoughts.
After three weeks, that felt like eternity, the docter allowed him to move, nothing could stop the teenager from running to his house. He ran as fast as he could. His heart was beating against his chest. He could feel his lungs burning. His limbs shaking. But it did not matter. Ichigo only wanted to arrive home and see his family. 'They are still there. They cannot be gone from his life. Impossible'. Finally he reached his destination, only to find it empty and abondend. No light, no sound, no noises came from the clinic. On the entrance, Ichigo could see a letter, explaining that the clinic was closed. It was true, they were gone. His family was kidnapped by no other than the people he once fought for. Without taking proper time to catch his breath, he hurried to Chad's flat, to Inoue's and to Ishida's, although he had already heard in the hospital that the chief of Karakura hospital, Ishida Ryuuken, had disappeared. Accordingly all of the appartments were closed and the light was out. His last hope was the Urahara shoten. Using all of his stamina left, the student ran towards the shop, praying that he would find something that would help him, allow him to go to the soul Soul Sciety, to clear up this mess. But his hope was smashed after seeing it. It was closed. No one had been living in it for the last few days, meaning Ichigo was alone, with no hope left. The following month, he tried to distract himself with his final exams in high school and application for University. He knew that many people worried about him, but-...
"Hey Ichigo, wake up! We are here! Come on!"
Tatsuki was suddenly shaking his shoulder, trying to bring him back to reality.
"Oh yeah, yeah I'm awake." he replayed, rubbing his eyes.
The four friends had to fight their way through the mass of people and hardly made it out of the train before the doors shut. They hurried out of the station towards University.
Luckily the first day consisted of lots of information and being guided around the campus. There were no classes for the first years today, so they only had to focus on memorizing where everything was. Although they eventually had to part ways because of their different branch of studies, they planned to meet again during lunch time in front of the Cafeteria. Ichigo saw only a few faces he knew, though a lot of his former class went to University of Tokyo. So no wonder he saw Chizuru, Ryo, Kenichiro, Jinpei, Mahana and Michiru.
Still Ichigo was alone in his field of study, perhaps Ishida would have chosen medical science...no, he should not think like that.
Eventually after he had visited the library and was given loads of information, he met up with his close friends. Just after they had lined up in the queue in front of the cantine, Tatsuki turned towards Ichigo:
" Hey Ichigo, I wanted to ask you something or rather my mother wanted to ask whether you would like to have dinner with us during the weekdays. She is worried about you since you are now going to university and not to high school anymore. So, what do you say?"
She looked up to him with a big grin plastered on her face. "Oh wow t-thanks Tatsuki, but I'm fine. Really you can tell your parents to stop worrying." He returned her smile yet without it reaching his eyes. His obvious charade didn't pass Tatsuki. Now he had crossed her acceptance line.
"May I ask you something? Just what do you think I am to you?". Ichigo felt a slight feeling of deja-vu creeping inside of him and if he remembered the incident occurring after Orihime's disappearance two years ago well, it won't end WELL for HIM.
Before he could say anything, Tatsuki yelled at him:" Why won't you tell us anything? You know something about your family' disappearance, don't you? Were there any sorts of threats? Had your father some sort of debt or- "BAM!
Everyone immediately looked at the source of this painful sound, then finally finding a young man sprawled on the floor, his face covered with his plate full of curry.
"Wh-h-hat happened?" Tatsuki asked her friends with a guilty look on her face and staring down to the stranger on the floor and her tray.
"Allow me to explain", Keigo cleared his throat," while you were so busy complaining to Ichigo, this young man passed us from the opposite direction. Because of your momentary ignorance towards everyone around you and your complete focus on Ichigo, you swung your tray around in a dramatically way and therefore hitting this unknown student with your tray, causing him to fall and have his freshly paid meal landing on his face."
During his explanation, Tatsuki's facial expression changed from guilty to annoyed, probably because of Keigo's stuck up way of talking. First and foremost, the girl wanted to give the latter a piece of her mind for treating her like a fool and acting so though and mighty, but halted her action when she heard a muffled grunt coming from the floor. She could already feel everyone around looking inculpatory at her. Shit, she had forgotten about the student she just hit. Of course she had to apologize. Eagerly she got to the ground, pulled away the plate from the boy's face before she took the handkerchief, Mizuiro offered her and wiped away most of the curry from the beaten boy's face.
Suddenly the boy, who hadn't done anything until now except grunting, started to move and spit food out of his mouth, then wiping his eyes.
"I am sooo sorry" Tatsuki began, starting to wipe the boy's face again, "I will definitely pay for your meal and for the cleaning of your clothes."
" Well, I would consider—mmmpfhh- forgiving you if you would—mphffmm- stop wiping my face as if I were a toddler." he answered before he grapped the handkerchief to stop her from continuing this embarrassing act she learned from her mother.
"Hey, I am trying to help you here" Tatsuki defended herself.
"Yeah, because you were the one to throw me your tray into me out of nowhere in the first place."
" And then I helped you by cleaning your face." she countered, trying to defend herself.
"Well yes, but you could have helped me up first, apologize, and then help me clean myself." he complained.
"I could have but-"
"Guys, Guys please. You may continue your quarrel later. Everyone is already staring at you." Keigo whispered to the fighting couple on the ground.
"Oh hehehe. Great idea!" the student on the ground chirpped before he jumped up, pulling Tatsuki with him.
" I guess I shouldn't be so unthankful to you." The stranger said to Tatsuki and began to pick up his tray and plate before asking the cashier for a broom and dustpan.
"By the way I am G-Dragon. Nice to meet you." the student introduced himself while cleaning up the mess.
"G-what?" Tatsuki asked, helping him of course. All of her friends had already ordered their meal during her talk with "G-Dragon" and luckily Ichigo took two meals, one for him and one for Tatsuki.
"Ashiruga G-Dragon, my brother named me. And you are?"
"Oh, I am Arisawa Tatsuki. Nice to meet you and sorry again for hitting you."
" It's okay, I shouldn't have acted in such a childish way." G-Dragon grinned at her with the most childlike grin in his face she had ever seen.
After returning the broom and the dustpan, G-Dragon followed her to the table, Keigo and Mizuhiro had chosen, and sat down with them. Not until then, G-Dragon realized that he had no food anymore: AHHHHH! My foooooood!Noooooooo! Oh God, what am I gonna do? Food,Food,Foood,Foood. I neeeddd FFOOOODDDDD!", he screamed, ruffling his fingers through his hair.
The group of friends just stared at him, all thinking the same." Did he really just realize it now?" Ichigo sighed, ready to offer him half of his meal, but was stopped by G-Dragon yelling towards a bored looking blond guy standing in the queue. "HEY! Norris! Could you do me a favor? Get a meal for me as well."
Said boy's eyes shot immediately towards G-Dragon, who was waving enthusiastically. He mouthed a silent "Why?" on which G-Dragon answered: "Mine landed on my face." The guy called Norris eyed him or mostly his dirty clothes before he facepalmed himself.
"Okay," G-Dragon turned around," problem solved!". He pulled a chair up and sat next to Ichigo.
"So, I haven't introduced myself to you boys, right? My name is Ashiruga G-Dragon and I am a first year student And you three are..?" he asked, pointing to Ichigo, Keigo and Mizuiro.
" My name is Mizuiro Kojima. Nice to meet you."
"Keigo Asano. Whassup?"
" Kurosaki Ichigo. Nice to meet you."
After that they started a lively conversation with the new acquaintance, talking about university life, video games, TV shows and other random staff. They found out that G-Dragon lived in Tokyo, studied economics and had a girlfriend named Ayane, who lived abroad.
Norris, who was one of his friends, passed them when he brought G-Dragon his food, joking that if they want G-Dragon to stop babbling, they just have to hit his head again, blinking in Tatsuki's direction.
A/N:
Yay, 2nd chapter is done! Perhaps, some of you recognized the two characters;) I won't describe them in detail, because i suck at it and want you to have room for your own imagination as well when it comes to appearances of OOC Characters. Butif you want to know, how I imagine their looks, you can check out the (yaoi) anime called "Ai no kusabi" for Norris and the anime "Vampire Knight" for G-Dragon ( the character is called Hanabusa Aido).
Don't worry, this won't be a yaoi fiction;)
So I hoped you enjoyed it!
