Bleach Chapter 2

Rukia had traced the boys riatsu and was now following it to its location. She was slow in her gigai.

Only if I had bought some soul candy. I could have fast stepped to his location. Rukia sighed to herself as she ran as fast as she could. She was thinking about the orange headed boy while she was running.

How could he have this amount of riatsu? I wonder if he can see spirits. Rukia thought to herself. She smiled to herself as she thought about the boy. Rukia liked the boy.

As a friend of course!

Rukia thought the boy was really sweet. He had offered her lunch although they had just met today. She forgot to ask if his hair was bleached. Rukia had a blush on her face while she was thinking about him. Although he had the deepest scowl she ever saw, he was a really caring guy.

"Or was he trying to flirt with me? I wouldn't really mind." Rukia had said to herself and immediately wanted to take her words back as she flushed into a red tomato.

….

Ichigo entered his house, feeling very tired at today's school work. That new student was clinging on to him and he did not like.

Hopefully this does not happen all the time. Ichigo contemplated as he got through his house door.

"Yuzu, Karin, I am ho- " Ichigo tried to complete his sentence but a foot landed in his face.

"You are too slow, my son! Oh Masaki! What have I done wrong to raise up our son!"

Ichigo stood up and grabbed Isshin by his collar and flung him outside the room.

"Get the hell out of here, you retard! " Ichigo said enraged at his dad. His dad was outside on the yard with fake tears running down his eyes.

"Hey Ichi-nee, how was school." Karin said behind him. Ichigo turned around and gave a smirk, ruffling Karin's hair.

"It was fine, Karin. You look pissed. More boys flirting with you?" Ichigo said smiling through his scowl.

"Oh please, only one guy did and I beat his ass. I am just a sophomore in high school, the students don't know me properly." Karin said scowling slapping his hand away.

"Yeah whatever I am going out for now. Tell Yuzu to call me when dinner is ready." Ichigo said to Karin while exiting his house. He gave his father one last punch and went away.

….

Rukia had stopped in the road of Ichigo's house. She could feel something was wrong in this area. It was awfully quiet. All of a sudden, her figure was crashed into a wall of a house. The part she got slammed was throbbing. She came to her sense and saw three individuals in front of her eyes.

"Hey pretty girl? What are you doing out here in the opening?" One of the gang members said, licking his lips. Rukia realized what they intended to do with her. Her gigai was not meant for fighting and she could not run since she was surrounded and her gigai had become exhausted by all that running. The man had a slick smile on his face and Rukia was worried about herself. The gang leader pulled out a small knife and looked at her hungrily.

"Oh I know you want this, babe. Now come here and get your reward for being goddamn cute." The gang leader said disgustingly.

"What did I do to you that you would rape me?" Rukia demanded an answer but she did not get it. The leader slapped Rukia and she fell on the ground with a thud. Her violet eyes grew big as she hit the cold ground. The other two members pinned her arm to the ground as the leader settled on top of her stomach. Rukia was feeling scared at their tactics she couldn't move her arms.

"I am going to give you your time of your life." The leader said while positioning his knife in front of her dress.

I cannot fail this mission. I cannot let a imbecile like this one touch. Rukia thought as the leader started tearing of her clothes with the knife. She could think of only one name in her mind and she hoped HE would come.

Ichigo….

All of a sudden a foot was planted in the side of the leaders head. Rukia was about to react when the hands that pinned her down moved away and she was picked up in bridal style. Rukia blinked and looked up at who picked her up. First thing she saw was bright orange, like a setting sun. her wish was granted. Ichigo stared down at her with a very deep scowl. She blushed red and shriveled up in his arms.

Ichigo looked at the person who he had planted a foot in his head. He was frailing on the ground, moaning in pain. He made Rukia stand up on the ground. She saw that the two gang member who pinned her down, unconscious on the ground. Rukia looked at Ichigo in disbelief and amazement.

Who is this guy?! He took them out in a matter of a second!

Ichigo walked towards the gang leader and held his collar and started screaming at him.

"How dare you do that ! People like you should be erased from this world! You better give me a good explanation for doing this to my friend!"

"S-Sorry man, she just looked so delicious and- "before he could finish the sentence, Ichigo knocked him out.

He looked up and eyed Rukia. He felt sorry for her and wanted to keep and eye out of her. Ichigo thought he had become mad! He never took notice of a girl but this girl was too interesting for not noticing.

"Are you okay, Rukia?" Ichigo said with a worried look.

"I am just a little hurt…. No need to worry about me." Rukia said with hesitation. She thought Ichigo's worried tone was cute.

"Let's go to my house. Have dinner with my family and me. I will patch you up." Ichigo said grabbing her hand and leading her towards his home.

Rukia blushed at the contact of their hands. Rukia had to keep an eye on Ichigo but she also did not want to be burden on him.

"No it is okay, Ichigo. I can handle my- "

"Shut up and come with me, midget." Ichigo said with a demanding tone

Rukia saw red when she heard that remarked from him. She kicked him hard in the shin. Ichigo yelped in pain, as he grabbed his bruised shin.

"OW! What was THAT for!"

"DO NOT CALL ME A MIDGET!"
