Ch. 7
The next day it is nine in the morning and everyone is back and in Ichigo's kitchen, even Tatsuki, Orihime, Chad, and and Auntie come in with two macho men.
"Bruce, Marco get my granddaughters." says Grandma
"Do not harm them! Not one hair." says Auntie
"Yes ma'am!" says Bruce
They leave, going upstairs to Yuzu and Karin's room. They grab Yuzu and Karin.
"Ichigo! Help!" yells Karin and Yuzu
Bruce pushes them to Marco who duct tapes their mouths. Bruce runs over to where Ichigo's room is.
"I'm coming!" says Ichigo
She runs into Bruce hitting the ground, and Bruce works fast. After Ichigo sits upBruce ties her up.
"What the hell!" says Ichigo
Marco comes in as Bruno finishes and goes next door to fetch Yuzu and Karin. Hoisting both up on his shoulder.
"Where do you think your going little girl?" asks Marco, he hoists her up.
Bruno heads downstairs.
"Here you are ma'am two snug bugs." says Bruno, he puts Yuzu and Karin down getting them to face everyone.
"Where's Ichigo, all three are enrolled to Sister Abigail nunn school. (I made up a school) And I am not leaving without her." says Auntie
Marco comes down the stairs carrying Ichigo.
"Right here ma'am." says Marco
He puts him down, and pats her head.
"One Lil' Red ridinghood." says Marco
Ichigo glares at them.
"Oh no Lil' Red's getting mad." scoffs Bruno
They untie them, and push them into the group. When Ichigo gets up, Ikkaku grabs her from behind.
"Oh no you don't " says Ikkaku
Ichigo tries breaking away but can't.
"Let go!" she growls
"Nah!" says Ikkaku
"Let go now!" says Ichigo
"Let her go, Ikkaku. Ichigo use "it". " says Isshin
Ikkaku does but Ichigo just stands there.
"But-" Ichigo begins
"No buts! Oh and when your done." says Ikkaku
He makes random motions, and Ichigo nods.
"Okay, can I?" asks Ichigo, she makes random motions of her own.
"Just be back by dinner." says Ikkaku
"Okay" says Ichigo
"Do you need help?" asks Karin and Yuzu
"Sure, can you two measure, I need a lot of room. Can you help?" asks Ichigo
"Sure." says Karin and Yuzu
They leave and return with two yard sticks.
"First middle split." says Yuzu
Ichigo goes down in a middle split and the girls measure that length. Then mark the lengths then find a spot for Ichigo to stand and turn at. They tell her to come over and she does. They direct her to the exact spot she needs to be. She then moves out of the way, so they can finish.
"Okay now spin on one leg and stop minturn." says Karin
Ichigo spins and they measure the bend of her leg to an actual person. The girls convince the guys to stand where the rulers end.
"Now without kicking them. Kick straight up and hold it there." says Yuzu
She does and they measure again, with Tatsuki's help.
"Okay, you're all set Ichigo, aim for the chin." says Tatsuki
"Okay, I hate this part." says Ichigo
She stands in between them. Then she starts spinning kicking both Marco and Bruno at the same time. After kicking one she'd pull her leg in keeping from hurting herself in the process. Bruce grabs Ichigo's leg.
"Hahaha, What are you going to do now Lil' Red?" asks Bruno
Ichigo smiles at Bruno, she kicks straight up with her free leg hitting the chin. She knock out Bruno, making him let go and collapse to the ground. Ichigo flips over Marco, and puts him in a chokehold until he's knocked over as well. Ichigo let's go and climbs over Marco and Bruno.
"Later." says Ichigo
She runs upstairs, in her room. She jumps out of her window phone and bluetooth in hand. She lands on the trampoline in the bushes. She runs toward the mountain. Ten minutes later Marco and Bruno finally wake up.
"Go get her she's upstairs in her room!," says Grandma, the two run upstairs and run back down few minutes later. "Well?"
"Her windows open, so we think well she might of jumped." says Marco
Sachi dials Ichigo's number, and puts the phone on speaker.
"Hey Ichi!" she says
Ichigo is still climbing up, but turns on her Bluetooth.
"Hey Sachi! What's up?" asks Ichigo
There are bewildered looks from Auntie, Grandma, Marco and Bruno.
"Nothing much but the macho twins thought you killed yourself." says Sachi
Ichigo laughs.
"Don't make me laugh, I'd never kill myself." says Ichigo
"That's what were saying Ichi." says Sachi
"Hey Lil' Red! Where are you?" asks Yoshi
"Don't get her started!" says Sachi
"Yeah, you know how she gets!" says Akiho
"No, it's okay Aki and Sach, put him on. Hey Mario and Yoshi! I'm on the mountain where else? Hey where are they?" asks Ichigo, hearing stomping away
"They left." says Rukia
"Oh cool, I wonder how long it'll take them," says Ichigo, she climbs up to where she usually goes. "Anyways I think I'll stick around here. Have some fun, see how long it'll take for them to catch me." says Ichigo
"Ha! They'll catch you, and won't even get tired." says Yoshi
"WHAT WAS THAT?! I THOUGHT I HEARD A CHALLENGE?!" says Ichigo
"Your on! Usual?" asks Yoshi
"Your on! I bet they won't ever catch me!" says Ichigo
"Deal! Later Lil' Red" says Yoshi
"Later, Mario and Yoshi, put Sachi back on the phone!" says Ichigo
"Can you do it?" asks Sachi
"Yeah, total confidence. I'm not the same girl I was years ago. Trust me, Sachi." says Ichigo
"We do. Well good luck." says Reiko
"Thanks Rei. I-" starts Ichigo
"Where are you, Little Brat?!" yells Marco and Bruno
"Got to go. Bye," says Ichigo, hanging up and leans over the edge. "Hey boys, catch me if you can!" says Ichigo
She goes to where a huge rock is hiding a path, she moves the rock goes inputs rock exactly where it was. She crawls up the path.
"I need to fix these beams." says Ichigo
She crawls out of the path, puts the rock back. She walks over to the the ledge and leans over and sees Bruno and Marco still climbing.
"Hey boys! You guys are slow!" says Ichigo
"You brat!" says Bruno, looking up
"You're in big trouble when we get up there!" says Marco, looking up.
Ichigo crawls away from the edge of the cliff and takes out a piece of paper and pen. She writes a note for the two guys.
The note reads :
"I got bored waiting, so I went ahead, but heres a hint to where I am. Hint:Rhymes with Kiso. Good Luck.- Ichigo K."
"That should do it." says Ichigo
She puts the note on a rock, removes a different rock, goes into the hole and puts the rock back where it was. She then slides down the mountain.
"Let's see how long it takes for them to decipher that note." says Ichigo
She runs toward town and goes around in circles. Twenty minutes later she makes it to a Miso Shop and walks into it.
"Can I help you?" asks Miso guy
"If I pay you ten bucks, can you give this note to two somebodies? " asks Ichigo
She lifts up a note that she made on the way over after stopping. The note reads: " Hey guys, just missed me maybe, here's a new hint. Hint: I don't want to get in trouble and get a D _. - Ichigo K."
"Deal, who too?" asks Miso Guy
Ichigo gives a picture of them, note, and ten.
"No problem" says Miso Guy
"Thanks!" says Ichigo, she leaves
She heads into the high school, and goes into the Principal's office, after taking off her shoes at the door.
"I wonder where they are?" she says
She borrows a piece of paper, takes out her pen and writes another note for them. The note says: "Hey slowpokes, New hint: one up and three over. - Ichigo K."
She goes up to the second floor and goes to the third room on the left. Looks behind her looking scared, and goes in. (the camera's are on 24/7)
"That'll trick the security. Security knows I'm in here, and I never shown fear, so they'll be looking for intruders. Which will stall the guys further, when I leave." says Ichigo
She goes to the board and starts writing: "Hey! Hint: three up and one over. Good Luck! - Ichigo K." She leaves looking scared, she goes up to fifth floor into the first room, and goes in the vent. Puts cover on starts crawling through vents.
"Hopefully this leads to the first floor bathroom, or I'm screwed." says Ichigo
In the meantime, Bruno and Marco have deciphered her code at the principal's office and land on the first room. They look they want to kill her. (oh the schools camera's have speakers.)
"That brat! Where is she?! When we get our hands on her. I'm dragging her out by her hair." says Marco
"As as we don't "hurt" her we're okay." says Bruno
They go into the room. In the meantime back in the men's room, first floor, Ichigo breaks out of the vent.
"Mens room close enough." says Ichigo
She hops down from the vent, and goes out the door. She writes another note and puts it on the window of the door. The note reads: "Last Hint: There is no place like … -Ichigo K. P.S. If you don't figure this out you're stupider than I thought." Looking scared she runs for the exit puts shoes on, and leaves building completely.
"Suckers catch me if you can." says Ichigo
She starts running in circles again. After twenty minutes she finally makes it home.
"I'm Home" she calls
Isshin grabs her by her arm and drags her to the stairs.
"You! Upstairs! Shower! Now! Young Lady!" says Isshin
Ichigo along with everyone else is completely shocked.
"Yes sir." says Ichigo
She grabs clean clothes and gets into the shower. Ichigo comes out of the shower waiting for Bruce and Marco to come back, the girls sit down and talk to Grandma and Auntie, telling them the whole truth.
"This was touching." says Auntie
Bruce and Marco come into the house and collapse.
"Ha! I win, Yoshi!" says Ichigo
"Damn! Do you still like strawberry ice cream, covered in strawberries and sprinkles?" asks Yoshi
"Yep! Hey guys Yoshi's treating to ice cream!" says Ichigo
Everyone tells him what he likes, Yoshi writes it down and leaves.
Marco and Bruno wake up slowly.
"I'm sorry, we failed." says Marco
"Not yet! Collect them get them now!" orders Auntie
Karin and Yuzu huddle together, and Ichigo stands in front of them looking angry. Isshin stands in front of Ichigo. Isshin turns to her and sees that she is holding her ribs, and is standing on trembling knees.
"Ichigo stand down, and don't argue. You can verly stand, and you're holding your ribs you are not fully recovered. I'll handle this.," says Isshin, Ichigo nods and happily sinks to her knees. "See your not well it's obvious when you stepped down that quickly. When I'm done I'll check on you. Don't move."
Isshin turns toward Bruno and Marco.
"Don't you ever lay a hand on my daughters. Nori! Wakana! Enough! These girls are my daughters NOT yours. They are staying here with me. End of Discussion!" says Isshin
"Finally! Isshin, we never thought you'd break. Mom? Shall we go?" asks Auntie
"Yeah, but I still hate you. And remember if anything happens to my babies, I will hunt you down." says Grandma
She glares at Isshin, and he looks deep in her eyes. Two tigers show up in her eyes, Isshin tied to an active volcano. The words "screw up" in kanoji shows up on his forehead. She fixes her eyes and all four of them leave. Then Isshin looks over Ichigo and hands her some tea. Yoshi returns and hands her some ice cream. Then hands everyone else their ice cream. After everyone leaves Isshin orders Ichigo to take a nap upstairs and to ignore all hollow or soul reaper related stuff. Ichigo nods and heads up to her room for that ordered nap.
The End
