A/N: Sorry, I've been gone for a while, so I couldn't upload enough. Well, I hope you all enjoy this one!


Kusajishi Yachiru

His full name's Kurosaki Ichigo, but I like to call him Ichi!

Whenever Ken-chan finds out that Ichi's in town, he gets really happy. And when we heard the word that a strong guy with bright orange hair was prancing around town with a "huge-ass" sword, Ken-chan was the happiest I've seen of him. He wanted to fight the Substitute Shinigami but me? I've never seen anyone with orange hair before. I've seen redheads, towheads, brunettes, and whiteys, but I've never, ever, seen anybody with a carrot orange head! So that's why I got excited too!

I like how Ichi always seems to be surprised whenever I see him. "Yachiru!" he exclaims, all shocked-like. "What're you doing here?" That's always how our conversations start. Then, I'll explain why I'm there, and he'll nod, understanding real quick. Not only is he strong, but I think he's smart too, even though people like Pachinko-head and Bya-kun think he's stupid as an ass.

"Nope," I'll tell them, "Ichi's not stupid!"

One time, Midget-taichou—that's what Ken-chan calls him—was talking to Ukki-taichou (hey, the two whiteys!) about Ichi, and he called him "dumbass." But no, no, no! I didn't believe what Midget said, even though he's a captain!

Instead, I stuck to what I thought because I believe in Ichi. If he does something "stupid" or what Red Pineapple thinks is "dumbass-worthy," I'm pretty sure he's got a good reason to do it, right? I think that's what makes him smart, not understanding all the weird numbers in Mayurin's lab or Bya-kun's big words. Ichi's smart because he knows how to do the right thing.

And that's why I trust him so much!
