Chapter 2: Confusion

2 days later

It was a Monday so Ichigo had to wake up at 6 in the morning to get ready for school. He took a shower and got dressed in his school uniform which consisted of a white short sleeved dress shirt, a red tie, and a cream colored cotton vest over that. As well as dress pants and dress shoes, and his favorite watch. He had just begun to gather his things that he needed for school when he heard his sister Yuzu calling for him.

"Ichigo. Your breakfast is ready" Yuzu shouted from the Kitchen

"Ok. I'll be right down Yuzu" Ichigo called down to his sister

He walked downstairs to find his sisters Yuzu, and Karin sitting at the table. Karin was eating cereal and Yuzu had just set his breakfast on the table.

"GOOOOOD MOORNING IICHIGOOOOO!" his father roared as he soared threw the air only to find Ichigo's foot in his chest and he yet out a surprised yelp as he was shoved back against the wall.

"NOT NOW GOAT-FACE!" Ichigo screamed at his father

"Oh my wonderful son, you make me so proud" Isshin said as he crumpled to the ground his body slightly twitching..

Ichigo walked over to the table and sat down and began to happily eat his breakfast which he finished in a mere five minutes.

"Thank you for making me breakfast Yuzu it was really good" Ichigo said with a smile as he stood up and headed for the door.

"You're welcome Ichigo. Have a great day at school." His sister said to him in her cheerful voice as he walked out the door and out onto the street. Ichigo slowly made his way through town and towards his school. As he walked toward his school his mind wondered back to the dream he had on Saturday. He stopped dead in his tracks when he realized he was becoming hard just thinking about the dream. He shook his head and quickly forced his mind to focus on something else.

To take his mind off of that dream Ichigo thought back to yesterday and how he had spent all of yesterday locked in his room silently thinking to himself. He had asked himself many questions, yet he received few answers. He soon found himself in the court yard of his school Karakura High. He looked at his watch which read 6:30 am. He was surprised to find that it had only taken him 15 minutes to get to school leaving him with almost two hours of time to kill. He shook his head in frustration at the idea of 'down time' and casually walked onto the school grounds toward his favorite tree. He sat down with his back to the trunk of the tree and rested his head on the tree. As soon as he got comfortable he felt a sudden wave of drowsiness over take him and his eye lids began to grow heavy, and not long after his eyes had closed, he swiftly drifted into a deep sleep.

Ichigo's Dream

Ichigo was sitting on the bank of the river, the sun was slowly sinking in the sky causing the sky to change from its ocean blue to a fiery orange as it settled on the horizon, its angel caused the river to sparkle in the most beautiful way Ichigo had ever seen. He was so captivated by the beauty of this wonderful sight he failed to notice presence beside him.

"It's beautiful sight isn't Ichi?" said the person beside Ichigo

Ichigo jumped in surprise and swiftly turned to look at who had just spoken. Ichigo's chocolate eyes locked onto Grimmjow's cerulean ones. The normal lust Grimmjow usually had in his eyes was gone and had been replaced with something that Ichigo couldn't describe, he just knew that whatever was in those eyes of Grimmjow's at the moment was directed at him. Ichigo couldn't help but blush. He swiftly turned away from Ichigo to hide his embarrassment.

"G-Grimmjow why are . . . ?" Ichigo was cut off when Grimmjow lightly pressed a finger to Ichigo's soft lips.

"Ichi. Don't speak, just relax and enjoy this beautiful moment with me." Grimmjow said in a pleading, calm and somewhat love filled voice. Ichigo was shocked when he heard Grimmjow speak. He had never spoken like that to him before and he found himself enjoying being spoken to like that. For whatever reason that Ichigo could not explain he stood up and walked over to Grimmjow and sat down in his lap. Ichigo could feel Grimmjow tense beneath him as he sat down but he quickly relaxed and he proceeded to put his arms around Ichigo's waist, and Ichigo leaned back into Grimmjow' muscled chest. They sat there in silence for what seemed like an eternity.

"I love you Ichigo." Grimmjow said once again as he spoke in that loving voice. Ichigo was surprised and he didn't know what to say and he just sat there in silence trying to think of what to do next.

"I-I think that I love you too Grimmjow." Ichigo said as he turned around in Grimmjow's lap so that they were now facing each other. Chocolate gazed deeply into cerulean. Ichigo blushed and leaned forward and connected their lips. The kiss was not a forceful kiss, but one filled with love and passion that was shared equally between the two of them.

Ichigo's eyes fluttered open and the world around him slowly came back into view. He slowly stood up while rubbing his neck lightly because it had become stiff from resting on the tree. That's when the memory of the dream he just had rushed back into his mind. Ichigo felt his legs turn to jelly and he turned around and put his hands on the tree to stop him from falling. His body began to shake and his eyes began to swell with tears which spilled over and ran down his cheeks.

"What does this fucking mean?" Ichigo yelled as he pounded on the tree with the base of his fist. Something landed on his shoulder causing Ichigo to jump slightly

"Ichigo. Are you ok?" A voice from behind him asked.

Ichigo turned his head slightly to see who was talking to him. It was Tatsuki his child hood friend. Ichigo wiped away the tears from his face not wanting his friend to see that he had been crying.

"Y-Yeah I-I'm fine Tatsuki" Ichigo said as he turned to face his friend

The first thing Tatsuki noticed about Ichigo was that his eyes were red, and the skin under his eyes had begun to grow puffy. She could only recall one time in her life that he had seen Ichigo truly cry, and that was when his mother died. She was concerned for her friend but decided to keep this to herself for now. She decided to ask him about it later once he had calmed down a bit.

"Well, okay then." Tatsuki said reluctantly and walked off towards the school.

Ichigo looked at his watch it read 7:30 am. He shook his head. He had been asleep for an hour. People started to flood onto the school grounds meeting up with friends before walking into the school.

The day seemed to drag on forever for Ichigo. He couldn't focus on school today, because his mind kept rushing back to his dream. 'Did I really say that I loved him?' Ichigo thought to himself.

Tatsuki noticed that Ichigo wasn't focusing and as much as she hated to admit it she was beginning to get really worried about Ichigo. He had been staring out the window all class period

Ichigo was jerked from his inner thoughts as the bell rang for lunch. He shook his head and got up from his desk, and slowly made his way towards the door of the class room and headed up to the roof of the school to be alone and think.

Ichigo's friends Orihime, Uryu, Chad, and Tatsuki all gathered in their little group for lunch. Tatsuki looked around the group. Orihime was eating another one of her homemade lunches 'I don't even want to know that is!' Tatsuki thought to herself. Chad was eating a sandwich, and Uryu was eating rice, with lime chicken covered in soy sauce. None of them appeared to notice that Ichigo was absent from the group. She looked over to the door focusing on it intently hoping that Ichigo would walk back into the classroom.

"Hey Tatsuki what are you looking at?" Orihime asked with her normal cheerful voice.

Tatsuki turned and looked at Orihime. She was trying to determine if she should tell them about Ichigo.

"N-Nothing." Tatsuki said as she looked back towards the door.

They all looked in the direction that Tatsuki was looking then back at her.

"Are you waiting for something Tatsuki?" Uryu asked adjusting his glasses like he normally did when he was calculating something.

Tatsuki could hold it in anymore, she had to tell someone.

"No. I'm not waiting on anything I'm…I'm just worried about Ichigo." Tatsuki said looking at the floor.

"Why would you be worried about Ichigo?" Orihime asked with concern in her normally cheerful voice.

"I saw him crying when I came to school today." She said.

"Why was he crying?" Uryu asked

Tatsuki smacked Uryu upside the head and gave him a look that sent shivers down Uryu's spine

"If I knew that I wouldn't be as worried about him as I am now." Tatsuki said in a stern tone with her arms crossed in front of her "The last time I saw him cry it was when his mother died." She said as a look of concern replaced her stern look and she once again looked towards the door. "I'm going to go check on him." She said as she stood up and made her way to the door.

"We're coming too!" Orihime said quickly following Tatsuki dragging Uryu with her, and chad just walked silently behind her. They made their way down the hall to the stairs that led to the roof.

Ichigo heard the door open and turned to see his friends casually strolling towards him.

"What are you guys doing up here?" Ichigo asked

"We're here to see if you are ok." Tatsuki said with that look of concern still on her face.

"Of course I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Ichigo asked

"Stop Lying Ichigo, something is wrong and you know it." Tatsuki said in aggravation

'Why is he always trying to hide things from us? We're his friend's aren't we?' Tatsuki thought to herself with a small aggravated shake of her head.

". . . . I'm not lying." Ichigo said looking away from his friends piercing stares.

Tatsuki couldn't control her building anger any longer, and she punched Ichigo in the side of his head with so much force he was sent flying a couple of feet away

"That's Bullshit and you know it. I saw you crying right before school started. You don't have to hide things from us Ichigo we're your friends and we can help you with whatever problem you are facing, because that's what friend are for they are there to help each other when they need it most." Tatsuki screamed at Ichigo

Ichigo picked himself off the floor of the roof and turned and gave Tatsuki a defeated look. He lowered his head and began to walk towards the door to back inside.

"Please. Let us help you Ichigo." Tatsuki said as she grabbed Ichigo's shoulder stopping his advances towards the door

Ichigo turned and pushed he with all the force he could muster at the moment sending her flying to the ground

"You can't help me with this problem; this is the one thing I'm going to have to face on my own so leave me alone. J-Just leave me alone!" Ichigo screamed at her as tears began to cascade freely down his face. He turned on his heels and ran through the door successfully slamming it behind him.

Orihime went over to Tatsuki and helped her up. Tatsuki was fine but was holding her arm protectively to her chest and walked over to the edge of the roof just in time to see Ichigo running through the schools courtyard and out of the gate turning to the right towards town.

The bell rang as a sign that lunch was over and they slowly walked back to class with their head held low. They all were thinking the same thing as they walked back to class.

'What could Ichigo possibly be going through that would cause him to hurt one of his friends?'
