Yay, chapter 8 is here. I'm glad I got this chapter in early. I was thinking about taking a break from this story, and starting another Ichi/Ruki story. Depending on how many reviews I get, I may put off making another story and continue to work on this one. Right now I'm debating on two stories, I want to write. One of them is more drama and humor (and romance too, because it's an Ichi/Ruki story). The other is filled with (lots) action, and romance, with slight humor (and also is a Ichi/Ruki story). I would tell you the summaries for them, but I want to make it a surprise when I write it, plus I'm afraid someone would copy my idea, like someone tried to do with this story.
A/N: This chapter may have some changes done later, because I'm still deciding how to do some parts, but I'm pretty sure everything is planned out good (I hope…) I really Like this chapter's title, "After-bite," referring to like "after-taste," but this is a story about vampires, so it fits better.
Please enjoy!
His Fangs
Chp. 8 After-bite
"The moon is red…But yet, no one seems to notice…" Karin gazed up at the Halloween, night sky. "What's going on…"
Ichigo…?
Flash Back
"Ichi-" Her voice left her, as his head lifted up to her level. His pupils burned with yellow, as the rest of his eye was black. His breath was ragged, as his mouth hung open, relieving two long fangs, too big for his mouth. Rukia's eyes widen, as she tried to break from his grip. 'His eyes, just like at the festival…' Rukia winced as his grip tightened around her wrist, 'but they seem so scary now…'
"Rukia…" His hot breath ran over her chin, as his head moved to the side of her head. His orange locks brushed her right cheek, making her almost giggle, but she only tensed, feeling his tongue lick her neck playfully. She was about to speak, but gasped in pain, feeling as if two needles suck into her neck. 'This feeling…' Rukia's head slowly lifted upwards, causing her bunny ears to slip off her head, 'where have I felt it before…?'
So sweet… Ichigo mind buzzed, as he enjoyed the warm liquid going down his thirsty throat. He could hear a whimpering noise next to his ear, but his mind was too lost in pleasure, that he couldn't tell it was coming from Rukia's quivering lips.
Rukia could feel her neck become wet with blood. Her blood. 'My blood…' Her minded started to become foggy, as she felt her energy leaving her. He released her arms, and held onto her shoulders, as her hands fell limply to her side. Rukia felt so helpless. She couldn't move. She couldn't speak. Her eyes squeezed shut, then open again, trying to clear her site, that seemed to be seeing her surrounds in a pink tint. Looking up at the moon, and realizing it was the cause, as it now was the color of blood red. 'This feeling, where…' She tried to search her mind again for an answer, but her thoughts were failing her. 'Where…?' Her eye lids become heavy, 'in my dream…'
'... Dream…?'
End of flash back
Ichigo knew he should stop, but he didn't want this feeling he wanted so long, to end. His whole body had been screaming for days on end, for more since the day he licked Rukia's finger. Rukia…?
Ichigo eye's shot opening, pulling his fangs out of the skin he punctured, and released his grip around the persons shoulder. Taking a step back, he licked his lips, and then wiped some of the blood with the sleeve of his suit jacket. No…Rukia…
Ichigo stared in horror, at the girl in front of him. Her face was very flushed, and her eyelids were half shut, as if she was in a daze. Blood was covered all over her neck, dripping down her shoulder.
All she remembered, was the feeling as if something was being pulled out of her, and the sudden chillness of the air touching her wet neck. Looking up one last time, she saw a satisfied looking man, but his face quickly changed to a fearful one seeing her clearly.
"Ichi…" She tried to take a step, but her knees gave way, as darkness over took her. Vampire…
Rukia's raven head fell into the terrified, teen's chest. She began to slide down, when Ichigo caught her, and pulled her up, picking up her limp body princess style. Ichigo placed a hand over her mouth to see that she was still breathing, good…
"Rukia… I'm so-" Suddenly a sharp object flew through the air, hitting Ichigo. Giving a cry of pain, Ichigo looked down to see an arrow sticking out of his right shoulder. He struggle to hold Rukia and clasp his hand over his wound that was bleeding large amounts of blood. Ichigo's eye's darted right and left to see where the arrow came from.
"Looks like I came a little too late," Said a man dressed in white and blue, coming out of the shadows of the tree's, holding a bow. "Vampire…"
Off in the distance…
From afar, a bat hung from a tall tree, gazing down at the parks center.
"You finally have given into your desire Ichigo… But now you have to face your first enemy," Yoriuchi stretched her large, purple wings, taking off, finding a place with a better view of below. "The red moon signifies your full wakening… now use your hidden power."
Park center…
"Ishida!?" Ichigo stared in shock, at the other teen, who was drowning his bow again. Another arrow was shot, just missing Ichigo's head, as he sifted his neck to the side, but it left a large scratch across his cheek. "You knew the whole time, didn't you!?
Ishida just smirked, not responding again, as he charged towards the orange head, bow drowned. Ichigo felt anger boil inside of him; he gritted his teeth in pain, as he pulled out the arrow in his shoulder, and snapped it in half. An arrow came strait towards his head, but he didn't move, as he caught it, in mid air, with his blood covered hand, and then threw it to the side.
"You knew…" Ichigo hissed, seeing Ishida back up, taking a fighting stands.
"Of course. I would bring shame to my clan if I didn't know," Ishida replied, pulling an arrow out from his backpack. "I've known since the day I met you. I was trained to tell the difference between people, and vampires."
Suddenly Ishida, charge again, shooting an arrow again, but then taking a side step, turning and reloaded, and appearing behind Ichigo, arrow pointed at his back. Ichigo eyes widen at the quick movement of the other teen. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion, as he turned his head around, seeing the arrow coming towards him. Move! Ichigo heard his mind scream. Awaken…
"Oh…" Ishida watched as his arrow soared through air, claiming nothing, but a tree. Smirking, he turned around, looking up to Ichigo, who was up top of a lamp post, holding Rukia's body by her waist, to his side. "I see. Your powers have finally come. This might be harder than I thought."
Ichigo was very surprised to see himself atop a lamp post, practically balancing by one foot. It was so strange, his body seemed to act on it free will, jumping off the ground into thin air, then repairing in a totally different spot, before the arrow could manage to hit him.
"Who are you really?" Ichigo asked bitterly, his eyes beginning to glow, staring down. He no longer cared where he was, or how he got there. He was furious and wanted answers. Now!
"Jeez, Kurosaki, I thought I told you before," Ishida said, pushing up his glasses. He could see Ichigo's face twist with more anger when he said his last name. "I'm a hunter, or to be more specific... Last member of the Quincy clan, Vampire Hunter."
"What!?" Ichigo cried in disbelief. "So, we were never friends. It was all an act, to watch me…"
"Not necessarily… I was friends with the human-side of you, but humans don't suck other humans blood," Ishida could see the regret wave over the bewilder vampire above. "You're nothing now than a beast in human form."
Ichigo felt as if he had been punched in the gut a dozen of times. Beast… The word ringed in his head over and over again.
"Poor Kuchiki-san…I always known you wanted her, but I never thought you would give in. You proved me wrong, and she was your first," Ishida said, almost in a sad tone.
Ichigo felt as if he wanted to cry. He gave up balance on his leg, and let himself fall off the pole, holding Rukia to his chest, letting his back make contact with the cement. Blood coughed out of this mouth at the hard impact. Ichigo dazed at the sky, releasing the girl in his arm, causing her to roll to the side of him. He turned his gaze when seeing an arrow being pointed to his head, but didn't hesitate to move.
"Do it…" Ichigo said in a distance tone, closing his eyes.
"I should kill you…" Ishida paused, shuddering slightly. "But I won't…"
Ichigo opened his eyes, to see the arrow retreating away from his face. What!? I should die for what I have done…
"Why…?" Ichigo confused face scanned Ishida's face that seemed confused as well.
"I guess… I still have faith that you still have that human part in you… That I was once friends with…" Ishida restrung his bow to his back, then gazed at the sky, frowning deeply. "I will show you mercy just this once… But if I see you ever lay your fangs on another innocent person, I will kill you… and remember, Kurosaki…"
"…I despise your kind." Ishida scowled, and then started to walk into the night. "You better find away to hide your mistake before I change my mind."
Ichigo lay there, motionless on the ground, not saying a word. Was I just spared?
"Ichigo, get up! You look like road-kill," Said a sarcastic voice, suddenly appearing over his head.
"AAAAAAA! What the heck! Don't scare me like that," Ichigo screamed, trying to scoot his head away for the others tanned one. "Eeeek put some clothes on too!"
"Gosh, chill out Ichigo, I was just trying to see if you were still alive," Yoruichi said, crossed her arms over her chest.
"What ever," Ichigo grumped sitting up and looking down at Rukia, who stirred.
"So what are you going to do about her? You can't just erase the evidence. It's written clearly on her neck," Yoruichi asked in a serious tone, bending down and examining the girl.
"I don't know… what should I do?" Ichigo asked sadly.
"Don't know, don't care. Your mess, you clean it up," Yorucihi shrugged her shoulder, standing back up again. Smirking, when Ichigo gave her a look of, "thanks for the help," and then walked away, waving over her shoulder. "I'm hungry, see you around, Ichigo."
"I wouldn't take her home though, Ichigo," Yoruichi warned, stopping in her tracks. Ichigo just looked up at her in a confused way, but didn't say anything, as he watched her walk up and behind a tree, to then see a bat flutter up into the sky from behind it
"What am I suppose to do with you then?" Ichigo sadly stared at the unconscious girl beside him. Picking her up again, he winced a bit at the pain in his shoulder, but was surprised to see it beginning to heal. So this is what it means to have your blood awaken…
Tightening his grip around her petite body, as he pull her closer, hoping to spare some of his body heat to her shivering one, he jumped back up on a lamp pot, then to another, and then leaping onto a near by build.
Ichigo smirked, thinking of how strange it would look if someone below him saw his leaping form, jumping to building to building, which no ordinary man could even imagine doing. But I'm no ordinary being… Frowning a bit, as his face redden, from the cold air rushing by it. He may not look it, but he was still very surprised at his sudden discovery of being able to move at very high speeds quickly. I'm freaking fly- Ichigo almost fall face first to the ground, after tripping on a building gutter. Scratch that though, He scowled, slowing down his pace, seeing he wasn't a natural at building hopping.
Before he knew it he was standing upon the roof of his home, debating on what to do with the thing in his arms. He couldn't just walk into his house, like this. Yuzu would probably freak out, thinking I killed someone (holding a body too, would make it look more suspicious), and his crazy father, would think he finally brought home a girlfriend after getting drunk with her. Releasing a long sigh, he opened his bedroom window, sneaking inside. I can't believe I'm doing this… Ichigo mumbled, laying Rukia's body on his bed.
Staring down at her sleeping form, she looks so peaceful; Ichigo brushed her raven hair away from her neck, to look closely at his mark. Sleep long Rukia… I don't know if I could live through the guilt, when I see the fear in your eyes…Running a hand through his orange locks, he pulled off his cape, and left the room in search of clothes and bandages.
"I'm so sorry, Rukia…"
Halloween party, in school gym…
"Oi, Rangiku-san!" Momo yelled, trying to get her friends attention, over the loud music.
"What!?" Rangiku yelled back, trying to work her way through the maze of dancing people in costumes, over to her friend on the sideline.
"Rangiku-san, have you seen Rukia-san? She was suppose to be here and hour again," Momo said, with a worried face.
"Your right," Rangiku glanced at her watch, and then stood on a table behind her, scanning the room for any signs of a raven hair.
"Maybe she got lost, or Ichigo-san never showed up, and she's depressed right now. Maybe she got separated when trick-or-treating with him; she probably doesn't know this town well since she just moved here, so she got lost on the street. What about she-"
"Momo-san, slow down, and take a breather," Rangiku hushed her freaking out friend, who was talking a hundred miles per hour.
"But… But she…" Momo tried to settle down, and catch her breath.
"I'm sure she is just fine. Rukia-dear probably stopped at Ichigo-san house to rest, and have a little fun with him," Rangiku said sarcastically, giving a grin to her now frowning friend.
"This is not funny," Momo pouted, sitting down in a chair.
"I know, I was just trying to make you feel better, but I'm sure she is fine. I bet she is at her house right now, as we speak," Rangiku said reassuringly, putting a hand on Momo's shoulder.
"Yeah… But she said she really wanted to come to this party. It doesn't make sense she would miss it for being tired. She very stubborn you know," She reasoned back.
"That is true, but-"
"Have you guy's seen, Ishida-kun?" Orihime interrupted, walking up to the two girls in her witch outfit. "He was just here a moment ago, but he disappeared."
"No, I'm sorry. We haven't seen him around," Momo answered back, shaking her head. Rangiku shook her head too, when Inoue looked her way. Ishida-kun not here as well, strange…
Kurosaki home…
"Grrr, where is it?" Ichgo growled, fumble his hand around in a cabinet, in the clinic. It was very hard to search for bandages, especially in the dark. He didn't want to awaken his, supposedly, sleeping family.
"Ichi-nii?" The light to the clinic room clicked on, causing Ichigo to jump up from his squat position, behind the examining table.
"Karin… shouldn't you be in bed-"
"Ichi-nii what happen to you?" Karin gasped, clasping a hand over her mouth, and taking a step back. Ichigo gave her a confused look, and then turned to look at the clinics wall mirror to see quit s scary image of himself. From his mouth down to his collar bone, was covered in dry blood. His scarf was stained red, and his right shoulder clothes, were torn with blood still soaked freshly into it. Scratches and blood, lined his palms.
"Uh, nothing…" Ichigo scowled at the gory sight. Any person in their right mind, would have turned and run seeing him, but Karin just stood their in shock. He could tell she was scared, and wouldn't take "nothing," as an answer. "I just got in a fight, don't worry, I'm fine…"
Karin just nodded and then quickly left the room to escape the horror image of her brother. She didn't believe one bit he was in a fight. Though he was covered in blood, the only injury she could see was the gauge in his shoulder, but it was barley visible.
Kurosaki home, Saturday morning…
"Mmmmm," Rukia gave a small moan at the achy feeling in her neck, as she slowly opened her tired eyes. Where am I? Rukia could tell she wasn't in her king sized bed, but in a very small bed, in a very small area. Am I in a box? Rukia questioned, observing the four corners in the dim room, that had no windows.
Tilting her head up slightly, she brought her a hand to scratch her neck, but was stopped with a thin layer of cloth wrapped around it. Reality smashed down on her, as she shot up, meeting the low ceiling of the small room, very quickly.
BAM!
Ichigo looked up from his book on the bed, at the closet where he heard a loud "bam.". Oh, boy, she's awake… Closing his book, Ichigo slowly walked to the closet that was now saying curses.
"God, that hurt!" Rukia grunted, holding her head. Now that she was sitting up, Rukia could tell she wasn't wearing her costume anymore, but a shirt that was way too big for her, more of a short dress. "Where am I …?"
"You're in my closest, midget," Came Ichigo's annoyed voice, as one of the walls opened up, in the small room. Rukia gave a "yelp" in surprise when the wall next to her opened, reviling a person with bright, orange hair.
"I-chi-go?" She questioned, with her mouth agape. She was looking at him with an exasperation of, "what the heck are you doing here!?" Suddenly her face held an alarming look, as she stared at him very intensely. With out warning, she flung out of the closet open door, strate at Ichigo, grabbing his shoulders. Ichigo's eye's grew wide as he lost his balance, falling to the ground with Rukia on top of him.
"What are y-ghack!" Ichigo gagged, as Rukia stuck her fingers into his mouth, trying to open it. He was so sure he was going to die from choking, if she didn't stop soon, Ichigo struggled, trying to pull her hands out. Then everything just stopped, and grew silent, as Rukia removed her fingers from his sore mouth.
"Fangs…" Rukia voice shuddered, as her eyes grew as big as plate, staring at the small blood on her index finger that pricked one of his fangs. "You… You really are a… Vampire."
Ichigo remained silent, feeling much guilt at the girl above him, who started to panic. Before he could think of anything to say, she scooted off of him quickly into a corner of his room, hugging her knees, and placing a hand over her bandage on her neck.
"Does it hurt?" Ichigo asked quietly, diverting his gaze elsewhere, as he sat up Indian-style.
Rukia didn't replay, as her eyes remained glued upon him, watching his every move, scared he might get closer. Ichigo sighed to himself, as he got up, causing Rukia to try to get more waged into her corner.
"I bet your hungry… I get you something to eat, just wait here," Ichigo said gloomily, leaving the room.
Rukia didn't budge, she didn't speak, and she didn't do anything, but stare in horror. She dared her eyes to circle around the room once, looking at her location. To the right of her was a desk, and to the right of that lay a twin-sized bed. Across the way, were some books shelves, and some other random cabinets with accessories upon them. There was a wall filled with huge cracks and dents in it, made her wonder a little, at the cause of them. Even in her much shock state, she still could come to a conclusion, that it was probably his room, and that it was very boring.
A few minutes later, Ichigo entered the room, holding a tray of food, and then setting it down on the desk next to the corner, she was frozen in. Heat rose to his cheeks, realizing he could practically see a full view of her pink panties, at the angle he was standing at.
"You should eat something," Ichigo turned away, as his face became brighter red.
"…" Rukia did not speak, or move an inch. Not even blink, as she just looked at him.
"Look, I know your hungry," Ichigo tried to convince her. Still no movement or sound of any kind came forth from the petite girl. Ichigo began to twitch under her gaze that was starting to boar holes through his back. Turning around he bent down to her level, scowling at her stubborn state, trying not to strangle her. "Darn it, Rukia. You have to eat something. You need energy after losing blood, so you don't faint or get dizzy again."
Rukia's pale hand suddenly, came in contact with he's annoyed face, causing him to fall backwards, again. That was complete unexpected…Ichigo stared at his ceiling, rubbing his sore cheek. Rukia stood up, letting the shirt to come to its full length (which Ichigo learned that his biggest shirt wasn't even long enough), reviling her long, soft legs. She stomped over to his desk, and started to chow down the food, very rudely, and quickly. Raising an orange bow, he proceeded to sit up, but was thrown back again, when Rukia chucked a fork in his face.
"Their! You happy!? I ate something!" She yelled, sitting down in her corner, pulling her knees up again…
"You're welcome! And I can see your pink underwear when you sit like that!" Ichigo barked, sitting up, pulling the fork out of his hair.
"You pervert!" Rukia screamed, jumping up, and began digging her ankle into his chest.
Just below Ichigo's room…
"Sounds, like Ichi-nii is wrestle with someone," Yuzu stared up at the ceiling, watching the light swing back and forth, at each "bang," for above.
"He is probably throwing his alarm clock at the wall again," Karin replied, giving a "thanks" to Yuzu, who placed a plate of eggs in front of her.
"Not the alarm clock again?" Isshin wined, pacing around the kitchen, waiting for his breakfast.
"Here, and enjoy," Yuzu smiled cheerfully, as her father dove into a seat next to Karin, who was reading the morning paper.
"I'm going to see if Ichi-nii is hungry for breakfast," Yuzu untied her apron, and then placed it on a hook next to the staircase.
"Don't worry about breakfast for him, Yuzu. He seems pretty tired from last night. I'm going to let him miss school today, so he can rest," Isshin said calmly, sipping his coffee.
"Ok," Yuzu looked a little confused, but put her apron back on, and then headed back to the kitchen. He sounds pretty lively to me…
Ichigo's room…
"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww," Ichigo groaned, trying to peel his demented body off the floor again.
"Stop complains! Serves you right for all the things you done to me since last night. Oh, wait, I forgot," Rukia got off his bed, kick him in the gut, and then back on the bed. "That's for making me miss the party last night!"
"I'm sorry…" Ichigo said, his word being muffled by his face pressed into the floor.
"Sorry!? Is that all you can say? Sorry?" Rukia yelled, tears on the rim of her eyes. "You prevented me from going to the party, with my friends, who are probable worried sick about me right now. You kidnapped me to your house and you… You drank my… blood."
"I'm sorry," Ichigo said again, biting his lip, staring down at his hands. "I…I don't know what came over me last night. I tried to stop myself... But… My body just gave into it craving desire for your blood."
"You really are a pervert," Rukia sighed. She became a little more frightened, when she saw him licking his lips. "Are you going to bite me…?
"No… Oh, god, no," Ichio cried, with such sorrow in his voice. "Even as much as I crave for your blood, I would rather die than lay a fang on you."
Rukia was stunned by his word. He seemed so sad, with so much regret and guilt in his dim, amber eyes. How long has he wanted my blood…? Rukia questioned her self, recalling all the times he seemed to have a hard time being around her in school. He's been holding himself since we first met, Rukia remember the first time seeing him, when she came to his school, and how pale and scared he looked.
"I'm sorry-"
"Gosh, stop saying that!" Rukia shut him up, by throwing his pillow at his mouth. She could hear him say another "sorry," through the pillow, but decided to save her wrath for him later.
"So, you really are a vampire…I never thought they were real," Rukia fiddled with her fingers, changing the subject. I must know… Rukia pulled her hands away from each other and gripped the blanket below her. If I… "Will… I become a vampire?
Ichgio watched as she tensed up with worry, but he was glad he had an answer that would make her relax.
"Don't worry, you won't become one. I may be a full grown vampire, with my blood awaken fully, I still have a little amount of human blood in me. My mother was human, while my father was full and pure blooded vampire," Rukia let a huge sigh of relief. "If my dad bit you, you would have become one."
"I see. I didn't know vampires and humans could have children together. I wouldn't have guess you had a human mother, if I knew you where a vampire ahead of time. Can I meet her?" Rukia asked, but his face fell at the request.
"I take more off of my father's side. The only thing I have the same as my mother is my hair color," Ichigo paused, clenching his fist. "She died seven years ago…"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know…"
"No, it's ok," Ichigo try to give a small smile.
"Uh, Ichigo?" Rukia kicked her feet back and forth on the bed.
"Yeah?" Ichigo stood up, and taking a seat in his computer chair.
"Where are my clothes and why I am wearing, I assume, your shirt, and nothing else," Rukia asked in a very scary tone.
"Well, they were covered in blood, so-so I thought I would wash them and… And I didn't think you wanted to wear dirty clothes, so…" Ichigo chuckled, slightly blushing.
"You better of not dressed me…" Rukia dared, holding up her fist. Ichigo began to sweat bullets.
"Er… I didn't… Uh, really see anything, so…" I am so died…
Right below Ichigo's room (again)…
CRASH! BLOOM! WHAMP! SMACK!
"Jeez, Ichi-nii most really hate his clock," Yuzu smirked, grabbing her school bag, then walked out of the front door, making her way to her school. "I'm surprised it can still ring..."
Ichigo's room…
"Rukia," Ichigo suddenly became serious, waiting for her to calm down from her hectic state.
"What," Rukia snapped back, still being upset.
"Please, don't tell anyone that I'm a vampire…" Ichigo pleaded, bowing down before her. "Promise…"
"After all the shocking experiences you put me through. Your now begging me to promise, about who you really are? How many things do you want me to do? What do I get out of all this?" Rukia asked playfully, trying to lighten the heavily mood in the air.
"In return I will walk out of your life and never, ever, lay a fang on you again," Ichigo said flat out. Rukia's face surprisingly became sad, as she poked her chin, thinking hard.
Time seemed to pass lowly, as he sat on the floor, watching Rukia's expressions change every few moment. It was like she would come up with a solution, and then quickly discard it, frowning again. Does she not like my idea? Doesn't she want to say away from me…?
"Ruk-" Ichigo voice trailed off, as Rukia slid off the bed, walking on all fours towards his sitting self. He gulped, putting a hand back to lean on, as Rukia placed a hand on his leg, and chest. What!?... THUMP! Ichigo eyes widen, as he covered a hand over his mouth, trying to preventing himself from coughing, at the sudden dryness in his throat.
"I don't think your being very fair to me or yourself with that option," Rukia whispered in his ear. She could feel his rapped heart beat in his chest through, her palm on his shirt. "A lot has happen, but I don't want to lose my partner."
"…" Ichigo didn't say anything, as she pulled his hand away from his mouth, so she could see his two fangs sticking out of his mouth. Pushing her finger tip on the point of his tooth, blood began to stream down her small finger.
"Lick it," Rukia commanded. With out hesitation, Ichigo's tongue darted out, licking her finger eagerly. Rukia smirked, running a hand through his hair. "I don't want you to walk out of my life, but I don't want you to bite me either…"
Ichigo looked up at her, releasing her hand, losing total interest in it. He didn't want to walk out of Rukia's life either, but his lust for her blood was strong. It would be hard to hold himself down when being around her. Ichigo finally nodded his head in agreement.
"Deal…" They both said in unison.
Rukia is only wearing Ichigo's shirt, in his room, along with him! Hehehe… I hoped you guys enjoyed this chapter. It wasn't a very cliffy ending at all. Oh, well… I was ill while I was writing this chapter, so I was a bit spacey. So I'm sorry if it turned out funny… I was going to write more, but I decided I would save some of the other details for the next chapter to make it lengthy. There was a lot of talking in this chapter; I hope I didn't make any of you too bored.
A/N: I tried to make Ichigo's special ability, as a vampire who's blood is fully awaken, super speed (like in the real Bleach story, how Ichigo can do flash-step really well, in bankai form). I gave Ishida just a normal bow, cause theirs no magic or super powers granted to the humans in my story. I thought the part where Ishida didn't kill Ichigo was kind of lame on my part… But I didn't want them to both die… so, yeah, live with it. I also added some humor when Rukia wakes up and talks to her blood sucker. I didn't want it to be a really sad and scary atmosphere. Ichigo and Rukia still have a lot of things to do together. If Rukia was scared and paranoid for the rest of the chapters, it wouldn't be cool… Oh, I almost forgot, I am now only editing my papers (AAAA, run away), so please don't hate me too bad, if the grammar is extra bad. My friend, who does the proof reading, is too busy to edit my really long story, so I have to learn to do it myself…sigh…
I would like to give credit to my favorite vampire manga, "Vampire Knight," for the quote I used in this chapter, "You're nothing now than a beast in human form," (except I changed it a bit.).
Important note: In my next chapter, "New Student 2," I will be bringing in a new character, but theirs a problem… That's where your help comes in! I need you to vote on these two people, Kaien, or Renji, and give a little reason why too, I should add that certain one. I will not tell you what roll they will play, but depending on which one you choose, they could be an enemy in the story, or only last in a few chapters, or maybe they would be bad at first, but become good later. Chose wisely! Whatever one you chose, the person will cause one of the most important events to occur in the story, but in a slightly different way, depending on person. Thanks!
Question time: Yay, it's that time again!!!!
I have started a thing called, "Questioned time," where you can leave a questioned for me to answer in the next chapter (I will post your name and question).
Rules: I will chose at least two or more questoned to answer, for each chapter. I will not answer stupid questons and thing that are rated above PG-13 ( I prefer things at a PG level)…sigh. Leave your question in a review you give me, thanks.
Ex. Question: "Why is Ichigo's hair orange, in your story?"
I really want to hear some of your thoughts, even if their just simple or funny.

(Q): Really good chapter. He finally bit her!! So is he going to turn Rukia into a vampire? I assume that he is not going to kill her:)
(A): Very, VERY, good question… But no, she will not turn into a vampire (at least, if he's the only one that bites her…) Hehehe… Rukia is not going to die (as you can see in this chapter), Ichigo stopped before he had too much, even though he wishes he could have more. Thanks for the question!
ParadiseWolf14
(Q): There's a web site that sells fangs, I could get you the address if you want it. So, I know you said Urahara, Yoruichi, and Ichigo's family are all vampires, but is there going a place like Soul Society thats for vampires? And one last thing, since Ishida is a hunter, is there a special way to track what he hunts? Like how shinigami have red ribbons?
(A): I was thinking about putting in something like "Soul Society," but decided not too, because it would be hard to fit into my story, plus it would change a lot of events I had planned. So sorry, but no. Well… No… Their isn't really a way for Ishida to track vampires down, besides the fact he was trained to know the difference between humans and vampire (this was one for the things I didn't really plan that well in this story…. I feel very pathetic…) I know my answers were not that great, cause I didn't really have a good answer for them, but I hoped it helped a little. Thanks for your questions!

(Q): ooh ichigo bit her! DRAMA! I LOVE IT! and that did answer my question. thanx! will the whole biting of hisana thing ever get explained in more detail? and a sequel would be awesome! ichigo and rukia are so cute together!
(A): The biting of Hisana by Urahara, will indeed be more explained in future chapters. I think I actually might some of the explanation of this past event ion the next chapter. See, I am waiting to put it in when Byakuya talks to Rukia about vampires, when… I can't tell you. You have to wait. Thanks for the question!

(Q): uh! ichi bit rukia! wwo! are you going to kill rukia with the bait or are you going to transform her into a vampire? if she transforms, what's going to happen with byakuya? is he going to kill (literally) ichigo?? wowsh, so many questions XD and if you don't get what i'm saying is because i'm not good at english... n.nU... (blush)so embarrassing! T.T later...
(A): Please read my answer for "akirk85029" (up above) for your first second part, of your first question. I'm not sure how I would use bait in this context, but no, I'm not. Well, since she's not going to transform into a vampire, nothing will happen with Byakuya, unless he see the bite marks on Rukia's neck. Don't worry (EVERYONE READ THIS SO I DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER IT AGAIN), Ichigo won't die in this story. He might get badly beaten up in some parts, but vampires are much harder to kill than humans. So he will survive, he has to survive! Thanks for your questions!

(Q): Awsome! Can't wait to see what happens next? What will happen when Byakuya finds out Ichigo bit Rukia?
(A): What will happen? Well…Er…AAAAA(pulling out hair)AAAA! I won't to tell you, but I don't want to give it away yet. Let's just say Rukia tries to hide it from him (only hint I'm giving, so be happy!) But thanks for the question!
Thank you everyone that participated in "Question Time," event. I enjoyed answering them, and I look forward to answering more in my next chapter.
Now…
Review!
I love you all!
