Hurt Chapter 9:

The Visit

Ichigo's POV

Ichigo heard the doorbell ring, and said, "Taruto, come with me, and no flying. Kisshu, try to go back to sleep, okay?" Kisshu and Taruto nodded. Then Ichigo and Taruto ran out to get the door.

Ichigo looked through the peephole, and saw the police. She quickly opened the door. The policeman looked at her, and said, "Are you Momomiya Ichigo?"

"Yes, and this is my little brother, Taruto," Ichigo said. "Do you want to come in?" The policeman nodded, and Ichigo led him to the living room. "Please, sit down," she said.

"Arigato," the policeman said. "Now, I have some questions for you. We sent some officers to the Aoyama's house, but his parents claimed he wasn't home, and they didn't know where he was. Apparently, he's been very secretive lately, and goes out for hours at a time without telling them. Do you have any idea where he might have gone after leaving your house?"

"No, I'm sorry," Ichigo said.

"Can you tell me what happened?" the officer asked her.

"I heard the doorbell ring around 11 this morning, and when I saw it was Aoyama, I decided to see what he wanted, since he recently was cheating on me with my best friend. He said that he wanted to apologize and get back together. I told him I would never go out with him again, and called him a stupid treehugger. After that, he told me I didn't have a choice, and grabbed my wrist. I tried to close the door on him, but he stopped it with his foot and started to pull me out the door. I screamed, and Taruto heard me. He came downstairs and saw Aoyama trying to pull me out the door, and he broke Aoyama's grip on me by breaking his wrist. Aoyama backed off, but he told us that this wasn't over. After he left, I called you," Ichigo finished.

The officer wrote all this down, then asked, "Where were your parents while all this was happening?"

Ichigo replied, "They're in Kyoto, taking care of a sick friend. They'll be back in two weeks. They left my brother and I with my older cousin, Kisshu, but he recently caught a cold and was sleeping when this happened. I would ask that you don't disturb him, I think he's still sleeping."

"Very well," the officer said. "Taruto, may I ask you a few questions too?"

Taruto looked at Ichigo, who nodded, and said, "Just answer honestly, okay?"

"Okay, oneechan," Taruto said. Then he looked at the police officer.

"Now, how did you break the boy's wrist?" the police officer said.

Taruto replied, "He had his arm stretched out trying to pull Ichigo-oneechan out the door, so I just used all of my strength to snap the bone by punching it."

"Why didn't you call us when you heard your sister screaming?" the officer asked.

"I was worried about her and didn't think of it. Besides, when I got downstairs, he had managed to pull her halfway out the door. I didn't really have time to find the phone and try to save her. I'm sorry," Taruto said.

"All right, I think that's it," the officer said. "We'll search for Aoyama Masaya, and when we find him we'll take him in and question him. Till then, keep your phone close and be careful. Call us again if anything happens, and if you see him again, don't open the door."

"All right, thank you, Officer," Ichigo said. The officer nodded and left.

Ichigo turned to Taruto and said, "Good job, Taruto, thanks. Let's go check on Kisshu."

Well, how was it? I think Taruto was pretty good at acting like Ichigo really is his sister. Next installment coming up! R&R!
