Everything was quiet around me, I couldn't believe that Shuhei had even got into a school like this. I felt like panicking; like escaping, but before I could move he had me by my bad arm. I winced in pain and he smiled cruelly.

"We got a gay prostitute in our school?" The tall man with the strange eye patch asked in shock.

"No wonder he's so pretty..." said the creepy pink haired one.

"Renji, what's this?" asked the albino sounding quite irritated.

"I-I swear I didn't know..." Renji said defensively as he turned towards his friends.

"Tsk, stop being a dick and quit pulling our legs." said the blunet as he spat out his bubble gum looking quite vicious in front of Shuhei.

"Wanna see the video?" Shuhei asked finally snapping me back into reality. "It's all over the internet..."

"No!" I squealed fighting to get him off me.

"What a gay pussy." Said the voice from next to him.

A bald guy seemed quite amused as he watched my face twist in pain.

"Hey your hurting him!" Renji defended.

"Your not really going to defend a gay prostitute r ya?" Shuhei asked.

Lifting me up into place, he made me stare back face to face with Renji; my eyes slightly watered as tears threatened to fall. With my eyes I silently pleaded for him to defend me. I wasn't a prostitute, I didn't have sex for money; I was raped countless times, but I was never paid for sex.

please, please, please defend me... one of you, anyone... just make him stop... Please, please, PLEASE!

"Well... no, but..." Renji said slightly trailing off and ending what little hope I had...

"Then can it!" Shuhei said causing the albino to slightly growl.

"Da hell ya have permission ta tell da red anythin. Ya wanna play with ya's dildo, then go do it elsewhere's. Don't go taken shit out on Renji!" he said defending his friend.

Of course friends would defend friends; I was an outcast, a worthless waist of space trying to fit in where I don't belong. Why would I actually think that I deserved anything more than nothing?

"Stop it, please let me go..." I begged.

"Can it tooth fairy, leave your begging for the gay bars nobody wants to hear ya!" Shuhei yelled causing a few people to surround me.

People were whispering and watching, however I was trembling as I looked at the different faces. Renji was looking down and away from me as Shiro shook his head looking very disproving before turning and signaling his buddy's to walk away.

"Don't give a damn about fags, however I have no care for quitters..." he said coldly as he began to lead his group away.

They all began to leave one by one as other random teens began to replace them, my eyes locked onto Grimmjow for a brief moment; his sapphire-like eyes observed me like I was some sort of strange specimen before walking off.

Tears slowly dropped down my face as students laughed at Shuhei's gay jokes, the whispers became talking and the laughing grew even wilder. Renji was the last to leave and so did the last of me. Laughing louder and louder, I suddenly began to lose my sanity.

"It's not funny, stop it, just stop it!" I screamed within the mist of laughfter.

I couldn't pull off, I couldn't run; all I could do was scream, cry and beg for mercy.

"Damn the smartest thing to have ever cum out of your mouth, was my cock!" Shuhei continued causing more of an uproar.

More tears fell down my face as I just fell silent; pulling back one of the students thought it would be funny to pour orange juice on my nice new uniform staining the white dress shirt a tinted orange. I'm struggling now as there all pulling on me like some sort of circus freak; hurt me, break me, but don't destroy my clothes. I have nothing, I have no money to buy a new one or fix it...

It's a food fight, but I'm the target; food is hitting me from left to right and Shuhei's grip on my arm is becoming tighter and tighter. This was a typical game Shuhei used to play; it was called: Ring around the gay bitch. I was always the gay bitch and everyone would be the one's to go around me and make me fall, the game normally ends when I fall.

The boys laughed and some gave me dirty looks, I was a gay bitch in an all boys school; guys from left and right slowly began to tug on my clothes, pull my hair and push me around before finally I bumped into the bald one.

He gave me a nasty look before hitting me right below my eye; some of the guys laughed and some just walked away while others joined it. My clothes are now teared up and their rubbing my face into the dirt, Shuhei is right behind me pressed against my rear end. I'm afraid... I'm really afraid now...

It's fine when I'm in pain, but it's never fine when somebody else is in pain. I hate it. I don't want to hurt anymore. I don't want people to hurt me anymore... I want this whole damn shit to just fuck'n STOP!

"Fuck you, nobody likes you, nobody cares for you. Your a god-damn gay prostitute, your a worthless piece of shit that doesn't deserve life itself. You should do us all a favor and just kill yourself!" Shuhei said bringing me back from the pits of my broken mind.

Within mere seconds, I finally snapped hitting the back of my head against his nose breaking it. He released me and I tackled him to the floor; the upraor went wild as I was pining him down, I sat on his crotch as I began to pound the hell out of his face. I only had three clean shot's before I was decked by the bald guy.

Three guy's were all on me and I was fighting them like a wild beast; I know I broke one of the guy's teeth and punched the bald guy in the eye, however the rest was a blur. I remembered hearing screaming, but it didn't stop me. Nothing was going to stop me.

As Shuhei hit me in the gut, the bald guy had me from behind; I was squirming like a mad man in the asylum, another guy went again to hit me in the gut when all of a sudden it was like I was dreaming. My vision was very flurry, but I could make out a figure with bright blue blurs take out the guy whom was about to hit me. A few yells caught my attention, and I felt the guys grip on me release.

Taking this as an opportunity, I turned and punched the guy behind me and I punched him and I punched him and I punched him till red blurs were visible from my broken painful fists and his face. I wasn't stopping, I couldn't stop and nobody was going to stop me... well except for the coach.

A tall muscleman with bells in his hair lifted me up from behind and caused me to scream and curse out angrily; I screamed and shouted like a madman and yet the coach seemed completely unfazed as the other deans separated the mass of screaming and kicking teens.


Sitting in my first period class, I look like shit and I feel worse; normally after events like these, I would be either expelled or sitting alone in detention. Surprisingly I am sitting with seven other students. Shuhei was without his bald friend however he was alongside another guy while Renji, Grimmjow, Shiro, sat in a row.

The tall lanky guy was now asleep and the abnormal pink haired teen kept on snickering from behind the albino; it was really quiet and yet very tense seeing as though all of us were pretty mad. I ignored all glances and looks. The world hates my gut's, why the hell would I think I could actually deserve friends...

Keeping my face low, Grimmjow kept on giving me some strange glances; not that I mind, his looks were quite the turn on even though I was upset. I'm now wearing Mr. Urahara's scholar sweater with nothing under, my clothes were being washed not that it was going to fix anything; it was at least thoughtful of him.

Closing my eyes, I felt my blood boil; I wasn't sure why the other five was in the room, however besides Grimmjow I really didn't want to be in a room with them. Mr. Urahara finally stood up and cleared his throat.

"Naturally, I am quite disappointed in all of you. Bullying is something that isn't tolerated in this school and especially ganging up on other students..." he said looking towards Shuhei and the other guy before looking at me.

"While I understand that you were only trying to defend yourself, you mustn't fight back other students Kurosaki. You have to go get a teacher or we can't help you..." he said sounding quite stern yet soft with his voice.

I ignored the tender and concerns in his voice, there was no point in calling for help; teachers never gave a damn anyway...

"As for you five... I don't know where to start... Szayel you did fine getting a teacher and all, but to give the last blow is not something we as aristocratic people do..." he said causing the pink haired teen to slightly chuckle.

"But sir, if I didn't than I would be bored instead of being here with the rest of my allies..." He responded quite blankly as he slightly looked back at me with a wide grin.

Pulling my beanie lower, I hid my face from their view; the teacher sighed before thinking a bit.

"I really don't know what to do with any of you, Shiro you know better than to drag Grimmy and the moocher into this and besides you also added more days towards Nnoitra's community service..." he explained only to cause Shiro to smile even wider as Nnoitra muttered some sort of lousy 'yay' sound.

"I'm so sorry, it's just that I got a pep against assholes..." he said causing Shuhei to lose his temper faster than usual.

"Can it white trash!" he said.

"Why don't ya slip into something more comfortable: like a coma." The albino retorted as if this was a normal routine.

"Hey, hey, that's enough... Shiro why is it that you hate Shuhei so much?" Mr. Urahara asked as the teen named Nnoitra was chuckling alongside Grimmjow.

"I don't exactly hate him, but if he was on fire and I had water, I'd drink it." Shiro responded with a shrug.

"Alright-alright, fifteen more minutes for you and no more talking till detention ends." the pallid blonde said now annoyed of his son's humorous rudeness.

Picking up some stacks of paper, he smiled at me and signaled me to come forth. I watched him from the far back of the class room for a brief moment before I actually stood up and walked on over.

"I need you and Mr. Jaguar to go take this towards the office, please make sure to file them and them bring me the new files. After that your good to run along home." he said causing me to nod and then pause as Grimmjow stood up.

My face slightly flushes as I could feel the presence of the blunet come closer; pulling the old files up to my face, I feel queasy inside. My heart starts to beat really fast as his shoes tapped heavily towards me.

"Come on berry, the office is this way." he said sounding rather annoyed and yet he didn't complain either.

"Don't take too much advantage of em..." teased the albino with a promising grin as I tip toed past the classroom and outside trailing after a chuckling Grimmjow.

We walked in silence down the hall, Grimmjow leading the way and I following close from behind; his scent was very soothing and strong, if I could I really would bathe in the scent. Taking in deep breathes, I somewhat felt like a stalker...


The office was a pretty tidy room filled with many different filing cabinet's and keys, but strangely there was no one here. It must have been pretty late or the staff had probably went home. Grimmjow as if he'd been doing this for some time now, quickly wen t over towards an unlabeled cabinet and opened it.

"All we got a do is put the files in a-b-c order and then we're done!" he said giving me a toothy grin.

I slightly shuttered under his gaze and turned my face as I began to separate the files; I don't know why I'm feeling so timid all of a sudden, but I know that I look dumb because he seemed to have been just staring at me.

"Ya know, you could give me half and this could go much faster..." he commented and I became bright red.

Normally I ended up doing the work all by myself or people make me do it by myself; muttering some sort of lame apology I was a bit hesitant to give him half. I know I looked like some sort of freak, but I just couldn't help it; I'm so used to people abusing me that it's hard to tell when some one was being sincere or not... besides he did leave me...

I didn't realize I had been staring off until after I felt warm hands touch my own; releasing the breath I was unintentionally holding, I stared at the much larger tan hands. My head quickly shot up to see the most beautiful angelic blue eyes I have ever seen before, his messy exotic blue mane graced his frame ever so perfectly that he could make models jealous.

"Relax, I'm not mad at ya... Shuhei's group are just a bunch of blood sucking ticks. I hate their guts and so do my boy's... by the way the name is Grimmjow, Leader of the basketball team and top player of the soccer team." he presented himself making me feel even more nervous that he is even talking to me.

"H-hey... w-well u-um... I'm Ichigo..." I said in between mumbles and stuttering. "I don't really play sports... maybe tennis or... track, but nothing much..." I said plainly without telling him that the main reason was because I was never chosen.

"Seriously? Shiro is in charge of the Tennis club, he used to do Track too so I'm sure he can get you in it. He also is the leader of fencing and soccer so that's a freebie if you wanna join... unless your interested in basket ball, then I could train ya." he said talking to me like nothing bad had happened.

For once in my life I felt like I was having a normal life talking about normal stuff with the hottest guy in school; I know I felt and looked like a giddy school girl, but it was just that, I haven't felt this good in a long time.

"Sounds promising... I'm just... not too good at team work..." I explained.

"Ah don't worry, you'll get used to it. That's exactly how the rest of us started out! Nnoitra was a jerk who would always hog the ball and next to me was the worst team player I knew up until last year when we became buddies. Szayel is a freak to nature, president of the science and biology club; he hated people and team work cause they never did there fair side of the job and always expected to get the same credit as he did." he said as he began to help me sort the papers.

"Well he still didn't change much seeing as though he only allows specific people to join the club, but with us he's pretty carefree. Renji is a worry wort, however he wasn't a team player till this year and I've known him since the fourth grade... I hated being a team player, I am better than most people and not too many guys can keep up with me... Even though I hate to admit it, if it wasn't for Shiro I would have been in one hot mess..." He continued before looking at me.

Him talking made me feel so much better, somehow I felt at ease as all I had to do was listen and enjoy his company.

"Shiro on the other hand of the rest of us had been in sports since the first grade and so he learned about team work way before most of us even though he said that he hated it until the third grade. Kicking my ass on the track even though I cheated, he taught me a lesson or two..." he explained while he shuffled his own files.

"It must be nice to have a lot of friends..." I muttered quietly as he stood up.

He only smiled at me before turning to the cabinet.

"Yeah, well we're pretty tight however as you can see; most of the time we end up in trouble or in some sort of fight. Me Shiro and Szayel are all straight A students, however Renji's struggling and Nnoitra's a natural asshole plus a delinquent so he's always causing trouble... but enough about me and my boy's, about earlier..." he paused making me feel very uncomfortable.

I really didn't want to answer about the video nor anything that pertained to Shuhei; holding my breath again as he took his time searching for some file, he paused as he smiled again at me.

"That was some nasty shit ya pulled..." he said causing my heart to sink for a brief second. "Never have I ever seen anyone go all out like that, ha ha it was some awesome shit." he said making me look at him like he was a mad man.

"Whoo when we herd the screaming and we saw you deck that bitch three times, we were like: shit that gotta feel like hell. And then when them other guys just decided to gang up on you we were like: a hell no! I made sure to get the first guy and then you went all pro on Ikkaku and sent him to the nurse, it was the most fun we had in months!" Grimmjow explained as I had my jaw wide open.

I couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe that these guys had actually saved my ass.

"B-but why...?" I suddenly found myself asking. "Why would you help me especially after what you heard..?"

I know my eyes are watering again and so I turn my head as to not look at the blunet; I could have stayed quite, but I rather hear the truth now than be broken down later.

"Tsk, first of all I despise bully's and as long as there not getting physical with anybody I can tolerate them. Secondly as Shiro said I don't give a damn about fags, however I don't like quitters either. Be gay, bi or straight just don't quit on life even if you are some sort of prostitute; quitters never win and can never grow." he pointed out and then took my own files.

"I hate them, especially since being a quitter means your already dead... however you fighting back shows that you have some backbone in ya, something we all look for in a friend, buddy or ally. When Renji first brought you over, you looked like a zombie... but now, you look quite promising..." he continued as he slowly began to put my files away for me.

"Lastly, I despise Shuhei with every nerve in my body; he's my putrid cousin that I don't give a shit about..." He finished with a loud thump of the cabinet.

Grabbing the new files, I just stare at him as if he was something out of this world. I couldn't relate what so ever with what he had just told me and I couldn't respond as I felt like I just wanted to cry and spill my soul out to him.

"There that was the last one... you should come sit with us during lunch tomorrow, we usually have a pot luck every so often and so you can bring whatever you want..." he said before looking back at me oddly. "Is something wrong?" he asked getting closer.

Shaking my head, I turned to leave when Grimmjow tried to stop me; there was a loud sound as if he had hit something and then I could feel his weight over my own, Falling down to the floor with him over my back I finally lose my beanie beret while the new files that he was carrying were all over the floor.

"Lord fucking shit!" he cursed out of surprise.

My ginger locks almost instantly framed my face and his expression widened as if he was shocked as to what he saw. I felt completely ashamed from the embarrassing position we were in. Here I was called a gay prostitute and now I was face to face with the sexiest guy on earth who probably thinks I'm the biggest freak.

"I'm sorry!" I said nervously as we stared into each others eyes, his soft pale lips were just inches away from my own and yet I blushed brightly as I staggered from under him and onto my feet. Grabbing my beanie I quickly ran as fast as I could out of the school...


Grimmjow Pov

"Berry, berry wait!" I called out, but I had no response; I didn't mean to scare him...

Orange? The fuck, the berry looks like a berry! I couldn't believe what I saw, not only did the mute actually spoke but he had the craziest exotic orange hair I have ever seen. Renji was one thing, but the orange was just something else.

"Something up?" asked Shiro in a smooth pleasant manner which sent chills down my spine.

"Not really besides Berry ditching us... " I responded as I watched Shiro pick up my papers.

"N-I-C-E..." he spelled out as he handed me the papers.

"Well at least I had a preview of what was under that beanie of his." I continued wanting to catch the albino's attention.

He suddenly smiled as he flipped his hair back and folded his arms as if he were interested.

"Oh yeah, and what was he? bald like Ikkaku or something crazy like Szayel's crazy older brother?" he asked making me chuckle.

"Even better, I think I'm going to be nicknaming him ginger instead of berry. His hair was like Shuhei's style, but a bright orange!" I said laughing a bit.

The albino's smile suddenly faded as he looked at me for a brief moment as if I had said something he didn't like.

"Something wrong?"

He just watched me for a brief moment and then shook his head.

"No nothin... It's just that... It reminded me of somebody that I used ta know..." he responded and then sighed. "Oh well, it could be anybody right?"

I just smile at him and cup his chin to look up at me.

"Who knows...?" I said before gently laying my lips against his soft pale ones.

Wrapping my free arm around his waist, I deepened our kiss causing the albino to moan before he pulled off.

"Ah hell no, last time ya did this my dad almost caught us in the bathroom." he said causing me to laugh.

We've been going out ever since we were thirteen, however I never really touched him until a year later after that one particular event. We're both fifteen and yet we don't look it, his father knows about us but my father doesn't. Urahara doesn't really approve his son being gay, but he supports me and I am grateful.

"You sure you don't want a second go at it?" I teased him as I nibbled on his neck.

He laughed before pulling off me; I liked this side of him, I was the only one who ever sees it. A whack to the head suddenly makes me look back at Mr. Urahara whom seemed a bit scary even though he had a smile.

"You watch where your nibbling." he said swaying his cane.

Shiro laughed even louder before helping his father down the stares; if there was somebody that was picture perfect, Shiro hit the part well. How he dressed, how he spoke, how he walked hell even how he fought was just amazing just like his artwork.

"Are you ready to go to your daily check up?" the teacher asked his son.

"Nope, but I'm-a go anyhow..." My sweet lover said causing me to frown.

I really hate it when he has to get these damn check ups...


Ichigo Pov

O-M-G, I can't believe the cutest guy in school actually likes me; not only did he invite me to sit with him, but he was actually about to kiss me! I feel so light headed as I made my way towards my house at top speeds, I completely forgot about my clothes in the schools washer and about returning Urahara's papers and sweater.

I felt as if I had been walking on air; dancing through the dark alley ways, I suddenly pause as I stared at my house. Broken windows, graffiti and smoke filled my already pitiful looking house. The words "Berry the prostitute" was written in big alongside other insults were all over my house.

An ambulance was also in sight alongside a couple of police cars and a firetruck; two men quickly came out of my house caring one of my worst fears.

"DAD!" I screamed out as I ran over panicking.

"Please stay back!" they ordered me, but I didn't listen as I fought to be by my father's side.

"Daddy, please don't... DADDY, DADDY, DADDY!" I screamed as if it was the end of the world.

My dad looked so frail and broken, because of me... if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have been hurt like this... he would have been alright. Tears fell down my face like precious jewels as I shook my head violently. They were keeping me away as I was kicking and fussing.

"DAD!" I suddenly shrieked loosing my sanity completely in this hellish nightmare...
