Chapter 2: Secrets Revealed

Finally I'm alone,… Ichigo thought to himself as he looked up at the ceiling.

Not quite there, Aibou, *evil cackle*

W-what? Where are you?! Show yourself! Ichigo sat up in his bed, looking around to find no one there.

Wow, you are dumb, I'm in your head idiot! The voice spoke once more, sounding even more menacing than before.

"Who are you? How the hell are you in MY HEAD?!" realizing he was yelling at the top of his lungs, he calmed himself before anyone came up to ask him what in the world was wrong with him.

Like I said dumb,… the voice piped up again.

SHUT UP! Ichigo thought back at it. Whatever this thing was, it was already annoying and Ichigo was worried he was starting to become schizophrenic or something….

No, you're not Aibou, I'm just as real as you are, now go look in the mirror….. the voice suggested to the freaked out teen.

Okay….. Ichigo replied to the voice with a skeptic tone.

He did as the voice said and walked over the mirror in his bathroom overlooking the sink.

There it is again, so I wasn't imagining it? Ichigo stood there in shock, the eyes were back.

Yes, this is me, or rather you. The darker part I guess you can say, now open your mouth…. Ichigo could feel the voice internally smirking. Afraid and confused Ichigo listened to the demanding voice, doing as it said and opened his mouth slowly, revealing long, sharp fangs instead of his usual canines.

What the hell, what is this?! What are these!? Ichigo shouted through his mind only to find no response than a disturbing cackle as the voice faded away.

With that, he slowly walked over to his bed, grabbed his pillow, and screamed into it as loud as he could. Unfortunately, even with the pillow masking most of the startling scream, the walls in his house were paper thin and his dad came running up the stairs bursting in the room.

"ICHIGO! WHAT'S WRONG?!" Isshin questioned him, obvious worry in his boisterous voice.

"THIS!" Ichigo shouted back, pointing to the elongated canines and demonic eyes. "Do you know about this?" he demanded to his father.

"Son, I'm sorry I kept this from you for so long, but let's go down stairs in the living room. It's more comfortable on the couch and this is going to take a while…" Isshin looked at his son, not frightened of him but rather the explanation he was about to have to give him.

"But what about-" Isshin cut him off, "Don't worry, your sisters aren't at home, Karin is at soccer and Yuzu is at a friend's."

The gold on black eyes slowly faded back into Ichigo's usual brown and white, but sadly the fangs still remained as they sat down on the couch.

"So… aren't you going to tell me what in the hell these things are?" Ichigo pointed again to his pointed teeth.

"They are called fangs, Ichigo. And you have them because, because you're a …. a vampire." Isshin looked at his beloved first child and only son to see Ichigo's very shocked, pale face.

"I'm a what now?"

"You heard me, Ichigo, you're a vampire."

From pale to red and furious Ichigo stood up, his arm arched back and hand clenched into a fist, aiming straight at his father. After a minute in silence, Ichigo lowered his fist and glared at his dad in not gold on black, but red on black eyes; even more frightening than before.

"How? HOW THE HELL AM I A MONSTER?" Ichigo screeched at the unflinching man sitting on the couch.

"I'm sorry I never told you Ichigo, I really am, but you wouldn't have believed me anyway, and there was no other way for you to see this for yourself until 'he' finally awakened your inhuman half."

The pair was in silence once more. He's right, I wouldn't have believed him. I mean finding out you're a mythical creature is pretty hard to believe, and I wouldn't of if I hadn't seen it for myself. Wait, did he just say 'he'? Could it be the Voice his talking about? Well, he said he'd tell me so I'll just let him explain…

"Look dad, I'm sorry, but this is just a lot to take in. I didn't mean to get so angry." Ichigo apologized to his unmoving father.

"Sit back down and I'll explain everything from the beginning…."

Author's Note:

Hey! Hope you liked the second chappy, sorry it's so short but I figured Isshian's explaination would be better to have a whole chapter by itself. And, if I left it at a cliff-hanger, maybe more people would come back for more, MUH-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Anywhoozles, I hope to update this as much as possible, but with school starting, I don't know how often that'll be. ALSO! (in story related news…) some characters I might not add in, or barely metion, because some characters, I just don't like and since it's my fanfic I can right it however I want! (but seriously,) I hate people like Ishida, feather-eyed guy (don't even care to look up his name) and you know, just other people I personally don't like and think they suck. Sorry, but if you don't like that, you might want to read a different fanfic….

REVIEW PLEASE! But not to mean or harsh because this is STILL my first fanfic, so yeah, be nice pleaseXD

Hugs and love
