Etto- Uh...
I own nothing.
" IIIIICCCHHHHIIIIGOOOO-OOF!" Kurosaki Isshin yelled as his son punched him in the gut at his sudden intrusion of his room. " Quit it, old man!" Ichigo yelled back at him. Ichigo Kurosaki was an unusual young man. For instance- his orange hair. He doesn't know why he has it, but he does.
It's trouble, that orange hair. Makes him get into fights. Ichigo growled as he walked into the closet. He yanked it open, his hazel eyes meeting big violet orbs. " Hey, Strawberry." The girl in the closet said. She was petite and a head shorter than the tall Ichigo. She wore pink bunny pajamas.
" Hey midget. I told you, my name means, " one who protects"!" Ichigo said. The girl walked out of the closet. " Yeah, but it also means " strawberry", right?" Ichigo growled at the logic the girl gave off. " If you can call me Strawberry, I can call you midget."
The girl turned around. " My name is Kuchiki Rukia!" Ichigo walked towards the bedroom door. " But you're short, right? So I can call you Midget." Rukia smirked. Ichigo growled.
" You wouldn't dare."
" I so would."
" Rukia, I swe-"
" ISSHIN-SAMA! ICHIGO'S ABUSING ME!"
Damn it.
" EHHHH? ICHGIO!" The boy's father's voice rang out through the house. " She's lying, I swear!" Isshin was already atop of the stairs. " This beautiful young girl who you will marry and will bare me gandchildren is lying? Have you no shame, boy! How dare you accuse dear Rukia-chan of such a thing?" Isshin held on tight to Rukia, who blushed at Isshin's comment with Ichigo.
" Dad, GET OUT!" Ichigo kicked Isshin out the room, with Isshin crying, " AH! No one has any love for daddy any more!"
" Etto... I should get ready." Rukia said. " Yeah, you take the shower first." Ichigo said. Rukia left the room, leaving Ichigo sitting on his bed.
Ichigo walked downstairs after his shower to eat breakfeast. His family was already there, Yuzu, the youngest twin with blond hair, Karin, the oldest twin with black hair, and, of course, his idiotic father. Rukia was sitting at the table as well.
" Ichigo, hurry up before your food gets cold," Yuzu said. " and then you'll be late for practice."
Practice
Ichigo had totally forgotten. What time is it? 7:20? Practice is at 7:30! And it takes 15 minutes to go to school. " A mo! I have to go!" Ichigo exclaimed. " What? Why?" Karin asked. " Practice is in 10 minutes! C'mon Rukia!"
Rukia, who was eating the eggs and ham Yuzu had prepared, said, " What? Why do I have to go?" Ichigo growled and pulled her. " Let's go, midget."
...
Ichigo and Rukia ran at full speed ( almost got hit by a car... what? 6 times? 7?) to reach the school. They stopped outside the gates, catching their breaths. " Next... time... I'm... eating... and... you're... the... one... who's... late, remind me... not to go... with you." Rukia said.
Ichigo glared at the raven haired girl. " Thanks... for... being... a... friend... who... cares." Ichigo and Rukia walked into Karakura High. They walked into the band room, where Ichigo's band mates rested.
" Late as always, Kurosaki." Ishida Uryu said. Ishida has straight, chin-length raven-colored hair framing both sides of his face and is fair-skinned with blue eyes. " I thought you were used to it, Ishida." Ichigo smirked. " We are. It's just the fact that you're late."
Hisugaya Toshiro said. Toshiro was 13 and a genius. That's how he got accepted into Karakura High. Toshiro has turquoise eyes and short, spiked, white hair, which tends to draw attention. He, like Ishida, wore the school uniform that Ichigo and Rukia wore.
Abarai Renji smiled. " Yeah, Strawberry. Always late." Renji has brown eyes and long crimson hair, which is usually kept in a high ponytail. Ichigo growled. " Stop calling me that, Pineapple!" Renji turned red at Ichigo.
" Then don't call me Pineapple!" Kojima Mizuiro popped up from behind Renji. " I think you shouldn't call Ichigo " Strawberry", then. If you hadn't called him that, then he wouldn't have called you " Pineapple"."
Mizuiro has shorter black hair, parted down the middle with a stray bang in his face and the tips fanning out. " I think they should both shutup," Rukia said. " and start practice." Sado " Chad" Yasutora nodded in agreement. Chad has wavy brown hair that generally hangs over his brown eyes. He is a muscular and extremely tall man and appears to be much older than he actually is. He has a tattoo on his left shoulder which reads Amore e Morte ("love and death" in Italian) and consists of a heart with a snake and angel wings around it.
" I agree with Kuchiki-chan. We only have 30 minutes to practice." Mizuiro said. Ichigo rolled his eyes and went up to the microphone that sat in the middle of the mess of guitars, keyboards, and drums. Mizuiro sat where the drums were, Chad and Toshiro grabbed some guitars, and Ishida stood by the keyboards.
Renji grabbed a mic next to him. " Well, boys, as your manager, I have to know what you're gonna play for me." Rukia said. " I say " Crawling", then " Numb"." Toshiro stated plainly.
Ichigo nodded. " Whatever works." he said. Ishida played his keys and then Mizuiro drumed. Ichigo could hear Chad and Toshiro strumming their guitars.
[Ichigo]
"Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real"
Ichigo yelled over the loud music before he stopped for 9 seconds.
[Ichigo Renji]
"There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming/confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure"
Ichigo took a breath.
[Ichigo]
"Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled
Itself upon me distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem"
[Ichigo Renji]
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence)
(I'm convinced that there's)
(Just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before so insecure"
Ichigo looked at Renji, who winked at him.
[ Ichigo]
"Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real"
[ Ichigo Renji]
"There's something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Consuming
(Confusing what is real)
This lack of self control I fear
Is never ending, controlling
(Confusing what is real)"
They all stopped, taking deep breaths. Rukia smiled. " Well, I have to say, you guys really have improved." She said. " Thank you, Kuchiki-San." Chad said. " No need to thank me, I'm just speaking the truth." She said. " I believe we should not waste our time," Ishida said. " No offense, Kuchiki-San."
" None taken."
Ishida tapped on the keys as Mizuiro hit the drums lightly. Soon, Chad and Toshiro joined in, colliding for a hard to explain type of sound ( If you want to know, go to Youtube!).
[Ichigo Renji]
"I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)"
Ichigo took a breath before yelling as loud as he could,
"I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you"
Renji rolled his eyes at how Ichigo was showing off. Pft. Show off.
[Ichigo Renji]
"Can't you see that you're smothering me,
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take."
[ Ichigo]
" I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you."
[Ichigo]
"And I know
I may end up failing too.
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you."
[Ichigo]
"I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
Become so tired, so much more aware.
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you."
[ Ichigo Renji]
"I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)"
They all stopped, looking at Rukia. Rukia raised an eyebrow. " What? Oh, you want me to say you did great. Well, you didn't." The guys looked down. " You did awesome."
After 30 minutes of practice, the teenagers raced to their classrooms, as they were about to be late ( by Mizuiro's watch). " This wouldn't have happened if Renji wasn't " in the mood"." Ichigo said. Renji looked at him in outrage. " Really? If I recall, it was YOU who was late." Renji said.
" If I recall, arguing will only slow us down." Ishida said. " Ishida is right," Chad said. " we will not make if you only argue." They all swiftly turned the corner that met their classroom. " Phew! Made it." Rukia said. They all walked into the classroom. Only Chizuru, Inoue Orihime, Ariswa Tatsuki, Hinamori Momo, and Masamuno Rangiku sat in the room.
" Yeah! See, Orihime! We can write with our breasts!" Inoue's eyes darted to Ichigo and Co. and she deeply blushed. " Aw! Hime, why are you blushing?" Chiziru asked. " If you do this, you'll feel real good! And I will be the one to make you feel good!"
Chiziru grabbed hold of Inoue. Tatsuki, like always, hit her down. " Stay away from her!" She yelled. Ichigo looked puzzled. " What's with there not being so many people?" He asked. " What are you talking about? It's 20 minutes before class is supposed to start." Tatsuki said.
Cue the sweatdrops.
" What? Mizuiro, I thought you said we'd be late!" Toshiro exclaimed. Mizuiro tapped on his watch. " Well, my watch says 8:00 A.M..." The boy said. Hinamori looked over. " Didn't you hear? Ochi-Sensi went out last night and got attacked. The principle is having a hard time finding us a sub." The black haired girl said.
" So, what? They're gonna hold back class because of that?" Ichigo said. " That's stupid." " Hell, Ichigo. That's why it's just us. I was sure that they called everyone and told." Tatsuki said.
Ichigo could imagine that he did get called, but his father didn't say.
" Otou-San!" Yuzu called. " The phone's for you! It's Ichi-nii's principle!" Isshin raced down the stairs from his place on the ground from when Ichigo kicked him. " OH NO! Ichigo's been skipping class! I knew it! What did I do wrong, Masaki?" He yelled to the giant poster of Kurosaki Masaki, a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes.
" Otou-San! It's not that!" Yuzu said. Isshin ran up to the phone. " Oh, good." He put the phone to his ear. " Hello? Yes, this is he...hmm...ok, tell the dear lady I will pray... thank you... goodbye."
" Otou-San, is Ichi-nii going to school?"
" Of course, Yuzu! Why would he not?"
" Because he has no Sensei?"
" Now, Yuzu, who ever said that?"
" Ah... so, what do we do?" Mizuiro asked. Ichigo shrugged. Ishida sighed. " I-" " OH! OH! I know! We could listen to Kurosaki-Kun's band!" Orihime cut the boy off. " Ah... about that, Inoue-san, we do not like to have our songs put out in public like that," Renji said.
" It kinda ruins the whole ' Mysterious Way To Be A Band'." Tatsuki raised an eyebrow. " Just what exactly is that? You know what, I don't care. So, what happened to, " letting the public respond to your music"?" She asked. " Of course we have public. That's what
Midget is here for." Ichigo said. Rukia felt a vein pop on her head. " What did you just called me?" She asked. " Midget." Ichigo replied was soon met with a kick to the face. He got up quickly. " Oi! What the hell was that for!" He yelled.
" I am not a midget!" Rukia yelled. " Yes you are!" " No I'm not !"
" Am too!"
" Am no!"
" Yes!"
" No!"
" Yes!" Rukia got a devious smile on her face and kicked Ichigo... where the sun doesn't shine. Ichigo doubled over in pain. " AUGH!" He yelled as he laid at Rukia's foot.
" Who's the midget now, Strawberry?" Tatsuki laughed at Ichigo and Rukia's bickering. " She gave it to ya, Ichigo." She said. Ichigo growled. " Midget bunny." He grumbled. Rukia laughed. " Is that the best you can think of?" She asked. " Oh, and Ichi, you now have to buy me a Chappy the Bunny jacket." Rukia said.
Renji shook his head. " When will this ever end?" He whispered amusingly. " Uh... Abarai-San, why do Kurosaki-Kun owe Rukia-Chan?" Inoue asked. " Eh? Oh, it's
something Ichigo's dad came up with when Rukia stays with them. Everytime he calles her something she doesn't like, he owes her a Chappy the Rabbit something." Renji answered.
" Don't forget she can girl up his room." Toshiro said. " And he owes her 5 dollars." Chad said. " And that she gets a free hit." Ishida said. Mizurio put a finger to his head. " That's... the fifteenth time this month... ara," The boy sighed. " Poor Ichigo. His room must be a mess."
