Hurt Chapter 2:
At Ichigo's House
Kisshu's POV
With the idea of saying goodbye in his mind, Kisshu teleported into the tree outside Ichigo's bedroom window, making sure her parents weren't around first. To his surprise though, Ichigo was sitting on the floor of her room, holding a piece of paper with writing on it. The thing that struck Kisshu immediately, however, was that Ichigo was crying.
Forgetting about himself, and his plan to say goodbye, Kisshu teleported into Ichigo's room. Ichigo looked up, and her eyes widened in shock.
Ichigo's POV
Ichigo looked up, and was shocked to see Kisshu, who was covered in blood, standing in front of her. The more surprising thing, however, was that Kisshu looked…. worried. "Why were you crying, Ichigo?" he asked.
Kisshu's POV
Kisshu was worried, actually. He didn't like seeing Ichigo cry. Therefore, he asked her why she was crying.
Ichigo's POV
Ichigo considered not answering, or pushing Kisshu away, but the fact that he looked so worried, coupled with the fact that she had no one else, made her decide to answer, and she replied, "Aoyama-kun broke up with me for my friend Moe, and when I came home, I discovered my parents were leaving for a month- something about a sick friend in Kyoto." Meanwhile, she was wondering why Kisshu was here, and why his wound was not only not bandaged, but was reopened, as well.
Kisshu's POV
Kisshu was both shocked and angry. Angry at the treehugger for hurting his kitten, and shocked that her parents would leave her alone for a MONTH. Another part of him, however, was happy about the treehugger being out of the way, but he managed to push that part down, and said, "I'm sorry to hear that, Ichigo."
Ichigo's POV
Ichigo was shocked to hear the sincerity in Kisshu's voice, but she hid it and said, "Why are you here, Kisshu? You shouldn't be moving around with an injury like that." She didn't realize that she was actually sounding like she cared. But even though she'd never tell anyone, she did care- at least a little. Then she noticed that Kisshu was looking paler than usual, and he looked like he was about to pass out; his eyes were struggling to stay open. Ichigo quickly stood up, catching Kisshu as he fell forward.
Kisshu's POV
Kisshu was intrigued by the caring tone of Ichigo's voice, and was going to respond, but suddenly started to feel very weak. The last thing he saw before passing out was Ichigo standing up, looking worried. Then the darkness claimed his mind, and he fell forward.
Ichigo's POV
Ichigo caught Kisshu as he fell, gasping at the cold feeling of his skin. Looking out the window, she realized it was snowing, and pretty hard, too. Remembering that she still had Kisshu to deal with, she took her eyes away from the window, and looked around her room as she shifted Kisshu onto his back. She then picked him up, and placed him on her bed, noticing that he was shivering.
Knowing she had to do something fast, Ichigo then ran out of the room to the hallway closet, and grabbed a bunch of extra blankets. Before she could put them over Kisshu, she noticed his wound was starting to bleed again. She dumped the blankets on the floor, and went to the bathroom, where she grabbed antiseptic, bandages, and a bowl of warm water. Going back to her room, she placed these items on her bedside table, and grabbed the chair from her desk, dragging it over to the bed and sitting down next to the still-unconscious Kisshu.
As she looked at him, she made a silent resolution. I'll do everything I can for you, Kisshu.
