Don't Take Me: Hichigo Shirosaki

Silence, silence that seemed to stretch on for miles. Like this deserted road that we're on. Where the hell are we going anyway?

"Where the hell are we going anyway?" Nothing, just a shrug of his shoulders and a cocky smirk. Whatever not like I can actually do anything anyway. I'm the one being the whiny bitch. I looked over at Hichigo, his gaze intense on the road. He suddenly slammed his brakes and whipped his head towards me. We locked eyes and I almost crippled under his gaze. He said nothing, but his gaze said it all. There we go that cliché crap again. He wanted to know, wanted to ask, but wouldn't. He wasn't scared, oh no, he just… respected me. He inched closer to me and my breath caught in my throat. He stopped mere inches from my face.

"Whatcha in fer, King?"

King? What kind of-

"Aww! Yer blushin'!"

"I am not!" Shit!

"Denyin' it only makes it more true," he said in a sing-song voice.

"Fuck you!" Bad idea.

"Ya would like tha'."

I just sat there gawking like an idiot while he shifted back to the driver's side of the car, cackling like the mad-man he probably was. My gaze shifted to window. There was nothing out here. The road stretched on. An endless abyss of black and yellow. Black and gold. Who is this man? He came out of nowhere when I needed someone, when I needed to get away. I was jolted out of my musings by a flash of light, followed by a loud clap of thunder. Great.

"Looks like a storms comin'. I nodded my head but I didn't want the silence to continue.

"Hichigo wha-"

"Shiro, call me Shiro."

"Alright, Shiro," the name tingling on my tongue, "What were you in Omaeda for?" The rain started as a slow sprinkle and picked up to a harsh downpour. Shiro switched on the windshield wipers just as another flash of lightning lit up the sky, a clap of thunder following soon after.

"Ya see Ichi; I had some business ta take care of down 'ere. My boss decided it'd be a good idea to 'ave me oversee some shit bout some guy owing 'im some money. I figured I could visit ma 'cuz down 'ere also. Ever meet 'im? His name is Ulquiorra."

I shook my head although the name did seem familiar. At least I knew why he was in the city. But, was he in a gang or something?

"Don' worry, I ain't in a gang or nothin' he owns a business an' can' stand when people try ta jip 'im."

Mind reader? Even though, I heaved a sigh of relief, at least I don't have to worry about that. It got quiet as the rain continued its steady beat on the car. I looked over at Shiro as a flash of light illuminated his face. He looked calm, almost serene. I turned away and watched the storm as the seemingly endless road stretched on and on. I began to feel my body relax, my mind going numb, the rain's song and the dance of the car putting me to sleep. I glanced one last time at Shiro before my mind succumbed to glorious sleep.

`~D~T~M~`

"-chigo. Ichigo, wake up. WAKE UP, FUCKIN' LAZY ASS STRAWBERRY!" I jolted awake hearing that unfamiliar yet familiar voice.

"What the hell do you want and my name ain't Strawberry!" I snapped.

"Shu' up. We are almost there King."

"Where, and what the hell is up with you calling me king!"

"You'll see an' maybe I'll tell ya lata," he said with that cocky smirk of his. With a huff I plopped back and sank into the seat, He just couldn't wake me up when we got to wherever the hell we were going? I closed my eyes just as I felt the car slow. Then it stopped. Curious, I opened my eyes to see we were at a gas station.

"Ima fill up. We've been drivin' almost four hours it's almost eight," he told me. Really almost eight? That means I ran away about four and have been asleep for about an hour. I stretched out my sore back. Does Shiro need to sleep? Why was he there in the first place? Why-

"King, ya alright?"

"I'm fine. Shiro? Why were you there?"

"Where?" Ok, that's just a good way to piss me off.

"You know where, a block away from my apartment at four in the morning!" I nearly screamed at him. This dude is really testing my patients.

"I was takin' a walk," was his simple reply. Wonderful.

"Are you tired?"

"Nah."

"Go take a nap."

"No."

"Shiro, go take a nap."

"Who're ya, my ma?"

"Shiro!"

"Alright, alright fine I'm goin'. We'll park it 'ere and take a nap together. Sound good, ne? Oh, and Ichi? Yer blushin' again," and with that he began cackling, making my red face even redder.

"Sh-SHUT UP!" He moved the car to a spot on the side of the gas station so we weren't in front of the pumps. He climbed in the back-seat pulling it down and grabbing two blankets in the process. Looks like he has slept in the car before. He handed me a blanket and snuggled into his own, quickly falling asleep. I leaned my seat back quickly following suit.

`~D~T~M~`

When I woke up the car was moving again.

"Morning Kingy!" He was way too chipper. I glanced at the clock to see that it was almost three.

"How long have we been driving?" I asked.

"'Bout an hour," he replied. I nodded my head, throwing the blanket into the back seat and putting all my attention to the outside world. We were getting close to some sort of land 'cause there were cultivated land and farm animals in the distance. I glanced over at Shiro to see that he had quickly turned his head. Was he looking at me? What for? I just shrugged it off and turned back to the window. Not much to do in a car… At that moment I felt something vibrate in my pants. I have my phone? I grabbed it just to see it had died.

"Fuck!"

"What's the matta?"

"I don't have shit! No clothes, food, nothing! My phone is even useless because I don't even have my charger!"

"Lemme 'xplain somethin' ta ya Ichi. You're runnin' right? From what, I dunno, but when you run, ya don' keep a phone. Ya go place ta place, ya only keep a handful a clothes, and ya don' keep sentimental things that'll slow ya down. I'll take care a ya, don' worry."

I just stared at him shocked and nodded. I noticed a sign coming up in the distance and I strained my eyes to see what it said. My eyes widened, my mouth going slack as the words became clear. Anywhere! Anywhere but here! Fuck! No!

"Welcome to Karakura"
