I forgot to say something last chapter, doesn't 'Monkey Boy, and Strawberry' sound like a super hero and side kick, or at least a tv show? I thought so… anyways I'm going to go see Bleach: Memories of Nobody in the theater today!! I already saw the movie, but this time it's in theaters, in English, and I can make my mom and sister suffer!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Lol. Anyway here's the chapter… sorry if it seems rushed, im trying to finish it b4 I go see the movie. One more thing… this chapter will be a bit…different that the others. You'll probly understand what I mean a few lines b4 the flash back…ok here it is.
"You're kidding right? There's no way in hell that Momo would wanna go out with him, there's also no way that she'd cheat on her boyfriend. Even if she was dating him, which she's not, why would she have been dating Kira. And how come I've never even seen her look at him?" Toushiro asked frustrated. Ichigo looked at Renji, and made a face of disapproval.
"That's because, she's trying to not let anyone know that she's dating Schiffer. And you barely know Momo, so why are you speaking so highly about her?" Renji asked.
"Because I know the type of person she is! She's…Never mind that last part." He yelled, then realized he was about to say something he really didn't want Renji to know.
"No! I won't forget that last part! To me it always seems like you're hiding from me! I want to know the truth Toushiro!" Renji yelled getting madder and madder by the second. Toushiro looked upset.
"You wanna know? You really want to know so badly, don't you?!" Toushiro snapped, his voice breaking a little. He ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
"Yes Toushiro, I do! We're best friends you should be able to tell me anything!" Renji yelled. Ichigo got tired of this.
"Renji, calm down. Toushiro you too!" Ichigo said then glanced at Toushiro.
"Ok. Renji, I'm sorry I haven't told you anything, but until now, Ichigo was the only person who knew this about me…" Toushiro cut off. 'Oh my god, I can't believe I'm telling him this.' Toushiro sighed.
"What? And how come only Ichigo?" Renji asked.
"Ichigo originally wasn't supposed to know, but he found out on accident." Toushiro explained.
"Ok, but how did he find out?"
"Ok, I'll explain it to you…"
Flash back
(Toushiro's P.O.V.)
"Come on Toushiro, let me come over to do the project, my dad's having a HUGE business party, diner, meeting thingy at my house." Ichigo explained. I bit my lip, I was in deep thought. My eyes were shut tightly. I took a deep breath.
"Ichigo you can't I have my own reasons, ones that I'd prefer not share with anyone." I tried to explain. I was just ignored by him.
"Please?" he begged ,I sighed.
"I guess, but you have to leave when I tell you to." I warned, he just ignored me.
Later we got to my apartment. He had no idea I lived here in the bad part of the town or that I lived in a tiny, run down apartment complex. He also didn't know that I had siblings. 7 to be exact.
"Dude, if you're embarrassed about where you live, I don't care." Ichigo stated, I looked down, I was able to tell what he was thinking.
"You're lying." I said flatly. He was shocked by the way I was acting, I am usually all happy, I was acting cold to him, and he never saw the cold side of me until then.
"Dude what's up? You're not acting like yourself." He asked me. I was scared, but I tried not to show it.
"Sorry Ichigo." I said and attempted to put a smile on my face. I know that he saw through it, but he pretended that he didn't.
"You can put your stuff on the couch." I said I didn't realize that Ayame was sleeping there. He walked over to the couch and went to place it down, but I guess that he saw Ayame lying there, sleeping.
"Uh, Toushiro?" he looked over to me.
"Yeah?" I asked, He pointed to Ayame.
"That's Ayame, my sister. You can put you stuff anywhere I guess." I answered nervously. Ayame woke up and was half happy and half scared looking.
"Toushi, whose he, and won't mom and dad be mad and…" I cut her off. I didn't want her to say anything.
"Yeah, but he'll only be here for a little while, and 'they' won't be back for a while." I spat the word they. I could only imagine what Ichigo was thinking by the way I said that. It had to be something like 'I didn't know that he hates his parents.'
I pulled the project out of my bag, and called him over to the messy counter to work on it.
Sometime passed, the more time that passed the more uneasy I got, Ichigo was confused he finally asked me.
"Dude whats wrong? You're never this quiet, or jumpy."
"It's nothing." I bit my lower lip, and avoided eye contact with him. I knew my eyes were betraying my emotions; they must have had many emotions in them, nervousness, fear, confused, and a few others.
Toushiro stopped talking for a moment. It looked like he didn't want to continue.
"Ichigo…I don't want to talk about it anymore. Could you...?" he slowly cut out. Ichigo nodded his head. Then began to pick up where Toushiro left off.
Same flash back Ichigo's P.O.V. (Continued)
He seemed to be off thinking about other things, and must have remembered something horrible, and started flinching and shaking. I tried to snap him out of it, but it wasn't helping. Then, there was a loud booming voice coming from out side the apartment. It seemed to snap him out of everything. His eyes went huge, he started breathing heavily.
"Ichigo! Hide! You can't be here!" he said terrified. I was completely confused and scared. I'd never seen him act like this.
I ran off and hid. I stayed completely out of sight, and listened to what was happening. First a man's voice
"What the fuck are you doing!" he boomed, then I heard Toushiro.
"I'm doing homework." Was his quiet response it sounded like there was something caught in his throat.
"DON'T YOU DARE TALK BACK TO ME YOU STUPID LITTE ASSHOLE!!" the man boomed, then I heard a loud sound, that sounded like someone kicking someone else, next a whimper.
"I'm sorry." He sobbed. The man grunted, and it sounded like he kept hitting Toushiro. A few minutes later the man left.
"Toushiro!!" Ayame yelled, her voice filled with concern. She ran over to him. I got out from hiding. Toushiro was laying there helpless. The look in his eyes hurt me. He looked pathetic. I walked over to him.
"Toushiro, what happened? Are you ok?" I asked him. He looked at me and tried to get up.
"What do you think? I just got my ass beat by the biggest asshole on the face of the earth. SO NO I'M NOT OK?" He spat. Then bit his lip, trying to calm himself down.
"I'm sorry, Ichigo."
"It's ok dude, I just want to know what happened."
Then he explained some things to me. About his past.
End Flash back
Norma P.O.V.
When Ichigo finished, Toushiro was completely quiet. He was shaking a bit but he slowly snapped out of it.
"I had no idea that he had an older brother at one time, or that after he died his parents took drugs, or that they became excessive drinkers. The worst part was that they…" Ichigo didn't finish the last part, but Renji knew what he was going to say. Renji's mouth opened wide. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"I…I had no idea…Toushiro, why didn't you just…do the police know?" Renji asked, he was just to scared.
"No."
"Why not?" Renji asked in disbelief.
"Because, they hate me, I hate them, but they're the only family the eight of us have." He said sadly.
Renji decided to leave the rest alone. He could see that it was killing Toushiro to talk about it.
A/N: Ok, sad chapter. What the fuck is wrong with me? I just wrote a sad chapter last night! Why am I so depressed?? I dunno, but this chapter almost didn't get dun today! I've been typing all week!! My hands are KILLING me! Unfortunately I can't tell you guys what I've been typing. It's a new fic that I'm dedicating to Merciless Ruby, my new sis! She doesn't even really know what it's about. I gave her a tiny little summery, but there's a lot more to it than what I told her. Lol.
P.s. PLEASE REVIEW!! It'll make me less depressed so the next chapter won't be depressing
