ICHIGO KUROSAKUI'S POV.
"Hey, Rukia! What's up with Kurenai? What does she have against the world and how does she know this stuff?" I asked Rukia curiously, Rukia's eyes went blank she then answered coldly.
"It's rude to ask about other people's private lives…Kurenai's… complicated…but I'm sure she'll tell you in her own time and if not, then time will explain it's self…" What?! That just encouraged my curiosity…what made her like this?! Why was she always so cold to everyone? She couldn't have always been like this.
She was hiding something…but I wasn't going to push her. Like Rukia said, it was rude to ask about other peoples private lives…I wouldn't want her looking into mine either but in another way…GHA! Why did everything have to be so confusing? Why didn't they just say, "Here's the truth! Now accept it!" but of course they wouldn't! It's no fun that way! Pft…sighing I went back to sleep…
KURENAI URAHARA'S POV.
Kisuke had advised me to go back to school and get to know strawberry…the hell he wanted me to do that was beyond me but knowing Kisuke he had some sort of plan and was just currently trying to put it into action…
"Aw shit…" I moaned as I realized I was already late…I grabbed my backpack not bothering to wear the uniform and walked to school, everyone started whispering once I got there…
"Hey! Kurenai!" Ichigo greeted as I sat next to him…
"Hey Strawberry…" I greeted with absolutely no enthusiasm what so ever,
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" he shouted in the middle of the teachers lecture he glared at me for the rest of class.
When Rukia came up and asked, "Hello, I don't believe we've met my name's Rukia Kuchiki! What's you name?" playing it dumb huh? She held her hand out I realized she had written on her hand it said: Just do it!
Sighing I said akin to her, "My name's Kurenai Urahara! But you can call me Kurenai!" we sat together at lunch just glaring at each other I heard Keigo cry.
"AH! ICHIGO'S SURROUNDED BY CUTE GIRLS! THE WORLD IS ENDING!"
Geez…if it weren't illegal I'd kill that kid…Ichigo, Rukia, and I sat together just glaring at each other…when Keigo and Mizuiro sat down, I got up once Keigo started his hysterics Rukia asked, "Kurenai! Where are you going?!"
She sounded panicked as I said, "Away from you guys…" I remembered that the only way to get one's shinigami powers back from a human was to kill that human. But I didn't want to kill. I couldn't kill a guy who just saved my life…to me, taking a human life was a terrible sin, one which created a wound in the soul that would never heal. I knew from first-hand experience what a death does to a family…All too well…I shut my eyes hard and shook my head to try to keep the bad memories from flooding in. I was beginning to resent this orange-haired idiot for making me even consider such a thing. Since that time, I had sworn never to take a human life I'd rather die myself first.
Unaware of the dark thoughts behind my cold glare, Ichigo just watched me curiously, I was outside of school grounds when Ichigo caught me, "What the hell do you want from me Kurosaki!?" I shouted angered.
"Why do you always do that?!" he shouted back frustrated,
"Do what?" I asked coldly,
"Push everyone away! You don't want to get close to anyone! Maybe everyone should've just left you behind and not care! Then you could be away from us ALL THE TIME!" he yelled, I flinched…
Maybe everyone should've just left you behind and not care…
Too late…they've already done that I felt a sweltering anger in me as I threw a punch breaking his nose and yelled, "SHUT UP KUROSAKI! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! YOU DON'T DESERVE RUKIA! SHE SHOULD'VE JUST LET THAT DAMN HOLLOW EAT YOU AND YOUR SISTERS SOULS! NOW JUST CRAM THAT BULL SHIT!" I ran back to Kisuke's…once again I wanted to burst out crying. I know they say holding in emotions was bad for you but that's just how I dealt with it. You don't like it, you can go fuck yourself with a fork!
ICHIGO KUROSAKI'S POV.
WHAT THE HELL WAS HER PROBLEM!? Damn it my nose was broken! I was sprouting blood all over the place I cleaned up in the bathroom and me and Rukia didn't talk the rest of the day her words still stung me…we were walking back to my place when Rukia asked, "Ichigo! What did you say to her?!" so typical!
Rukia cares more about Kurenai! I shrugged and said casually, "Nothing I just told her the truth…" Rukia continued to glare at me as she looked down her hair shadowed her eyes as she stopped…
"What did you tell her?" she hissed I flinched back.
"I-I-I just told her that Maybe everyone should've just left her behind and not care…Then she could be away from us all the time, no big deal…" I said a bit worried by her expression. Rukia slapped me backside my head.
"You're an idiot Ichigo!" She shouted.
"WHAT?!"
She sighed and said, "Listen…you were right…there is a reason why she acts like this…long time ago…she was put in a coma when she woke up she found out that four of her really close friends-no…they were family to her…they had all disappeared…they left her, she just woke up and found out that her family had left her…don't tell her I told you this…"
I gasped…so that's why…in a way I couldn't entirely understand her position but…she was pushing away because she was afraid of being hurt again…that's why she didn't want to get close to anyone…
"Listen! I'll go apologize…" I told Rukia…geez…well didn't that make me feel like…
