Disclamer: I do not own anything from Bleach accept the character Chelsea and the word Smexican.
Auther's note: Sorry for taking so long on the 5th chapter... I had a case of the all evil writer's block.
As everyone returned to their respective classes, the two Sado's bumped into each other again. Chad then noticed that she was carrying her jacket instead of wearing it. He also noticed the scar on her left arm, and mistook it as a tattoo. "You aren't supposed to be showing-" "I know. I'ts a scar though." Chelsea said disgrutledly. "There's some things I need to talk to you about, though, Chad." And before Chelsea could continue, Ms. Ito came up behind the two and put her hands on their backs. "If you two are trying to talk about a love life, then please do it after school, you two need to get inside before I start teaching the class again." The two Sado's took a step back and stared dumbfoundedly at Ms. Ito for her comment. They didn't move for a few moments. "Come on you two or else I'll put you both down as tardy." Out of unison, a "Yes Ms. Ito," came out of both the Sado's.
As everyone got back in their seats, Ms. Ito began teaching the class on the next subject in the lesson scheduled for that time. But out of nowhere, one of the girl students yelled out "SMEXICAN!" and pointed to both of the Sado's. They both looked up from their books with a "huh?" look on there face. "Chizuru! That was not necessary. Yes, they both look like Mexicans, but that does not mean you can yell random words out and point to those two. Even if it strangely corresponds with the lesson." "But it's not Mexican. It's sexy Mexican!" Chizuru boldly pronounced. The whole class roared out with laughter. But Chelsea slumped down in her chair and hid her face in the in her folded arms on her desk. "Why did she have to yell that?" Chelsea whispered to herself in embarrassment. And even through the laughter, Chad heard Chelsea say that. "You seem to know where that came from. Care to explain?" Chad asked Chelsea. "Why do you want to know... Unless you are gonna say that... Then no." "I'm part Mexican." "Oh!" Chelsea didn't know what else to say after that, and before Chad could continue talking to her, Ms. Ito yelled at the class to quiet down. "Alright everyone! I know It's all good and fun to joke around, but we are already behind in the lesson! Please quiet down so I can get the lesson done!"
It wasn't until the end of school to where both the Smexicans could talk to each other. Ms. Ito spent the whole day on World History. Not letting a single student speak during the days lesson. Chelsea was finally able to talk to Chad, who was standing out by the gate, before he left for home. "So you're a Mexican, huh?" "Part Mexican. Father's side. What about you? Since out of all odds, you do look like me." "To tell the truth, Chad, I don't know who I am. Like I said earlier today, I've lived in Japan for a year, and in America for most of my life. I've just moved back to Japan about less then a week ago. While living in America, I was never told what type of nationality I was. Basically, I've just considered myself as a mutt." "...?" Chad looked at Chelsea in a confused way. He never heard anyone call themselves a mutt before. It took him a few seconds to say something from the awkward silence. "A mutt?" Chelsea just laughed. "Yeah! I don't know what I am, but I do know that I'm not just one race! That is why I just call myself a mutt!"
Chad still felt a bit weird from that comment but then shrugged it off. He then felt that he should ask her about what she knew about her family. "Forgive me for asking, but is there anything you know about your real family?" Chelsea's smile faded away as Chad asked her about her true family. She lowered her had and answered, "Sadly, no. There is about next to nothing that I know of my family. I do have a picture of my mom and dad, and that's just about it. The only other thing that I have is a memory before I left to go to America to be with my adopted family. I was told I was a single child, so I assume that this kid I see in that memory, is a cousin who I may never see." She paused, contemplating whether or not to tell Chad of her memory.
She sighed and decided to tell him anyways. "I don't know how long it was before I moved to America, and I don't even know why I remember such a thing at such a young age, but it is one thing I do remember of my family. It was a normal day as ever and my family and I was outside of a house, which I presume is what we had lived in, but it was my parents, and a little boy that was with me that day. I don't remember if we where in the front yard or back, but my parents where watching us till someone came to our house. So my mom went to go greet them, then the phone went off and my dad had gone to go get that, leaving me alone with the boy for a moment. I guess they didn't think that nothing would happen to us, or that they didn't know that one of them was gonna get tied up by something, but I was left alone with the boy for a bit. I was just playing around and checking out things that seemed new to me like any other toddler would do. The other kid was just laying down in the grass. I presumed now that he was tired because he was running around like he had gotten a hold of too much sugar." Chelsea smiled again and brought her hand up to her face to brush a loose strand of hair away.
"What a sight that was too. But as I was saying, I was roaming around like a toddler my age would do, till I heard a strange noise in the bushes. I didn't know better not to go look, and it had almost cost me more then a simple look around." Chelsea paused again, trying to keep herself composed. "Not only did I put myself in danger, I also put that boy in danger too. What I found making the scuffling sound in the bushes, was a type of poisonous snake that I forgot the name of. I didn't know that the snake would bite, or at least try to, but I started to reach for it when my dad came back out. He saw me reaching for it just as soon as he got out. He screamed at me to stop, but I was already determined to get a hold of that snake. And just before I knew it, that snake lashed out at me, just narrowly missing my hand, and just before the snake could go after me again, that little boy came from out of nowhere and tackled me down to the ground just before the snake lashed out again. By that time, my dad got to us and scooped us up out of harms way when the snake lashed out for a third time. I know it missed my dad because I then heard him stomp down on the snake's head, crushing it's skull under his foot. I was in shock because I didn't know then what all happened, so I started crying at the top of my lungs. I know that my mother came back to ask my dad what happened, but that is just about it that I remember of that day." Chelsea was about in tears when she finished. "If it wasn't for that boy and my dad, I wouldn't be here right now."
Chad didn't know what to say. He didn't mean to make her upset. "I-I'm sorry! If I had known, that you would get upset by this, I wouldn't have asked." Chad put his hand to Chelsea's shoulder to try to comfort her. "It's OK, Chad. You didn't know. There's nothing to be sorry about."
After Chelsea wiped the few tears that fell from her face, Mr. Kagine came towards the two still standing at the gate. "And why are you two still standing around here for? Shouldn't you two be heading home?" "We are, Mr. Kagine." Chad casually said in his usual monotone voice, even after what Chelsea had told him. "Good! Now get going!"
