Briar: Thank you all for your lovely reviews, and now on with the fict :D
It was now currently Monday. The most dreaded day of the week for high school students. Why, some may wonder. Well isn't it obvious. Teenagers used to being up all night on the weekend or working now only to be forced to wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. Pure horror and torture only to have to sit down all day and be bored! Ichigo was not a morning person but he wasn't about to tear someone's head off because he was having a bad morning...Well unless he was provoked, then he would declare it open season on who ever's ass it was unless it was his family. Excluding that idiot Goat-Face.
Shockingly his alarm clock didn't come in an scream his name. Ichigo not telling his father that he could fall from the two story window sill. Knowing it wouldn't kill his energetic, eccentric father. So Ichigo instead was cuddled up to Hyo, who was surprisingly potty trained...Well litter box trained and wasn't much of a hassle. Hyo actually tried to help. Tugging at blankets and stuff when Ichigo was cleaning his room. Unfortunately the poor creature ended up tugging on Shiro's underwear.
However, now we are going off on a tangent and the underwear story is another tale for another time. Back to the main plot though. Yes, alarm clocks and cuddling. Here Ichigo was dreaming easily and care free unaware of what time it was. His dream was blurry and while he was dreaming of walking into a lake because a kid fell in and was drowning so he, being knightly went to go save the kid. The water was green but not that nasty ew green. It was more like a teal shade of water. As Ichigo descended into the water somehow the child was falling deep and deeper. Ichigo confused since the water wasn't that deep at first but he continued to swim. Vision still blurry but the water was becoming more green, like those green apple Jolly Rancher candies. Cylinder ones not square.
So as Ichigo went deeper and deeper he finally reached the boy, who strangely was wrapped in chains. Ichigo could feel his oxygen levels very low and knew he had to reach the surface. As he kicked up he got grabbed by something. Gasping he turned to see a man with tattered clothing, black rings around his eyes and pale skin. Zombies! Screaming Ichigo kicked it in the face and began to leave. Walking instead of swimming and seeing the light more as he walked as fast as he could underwater to reach the surface. When Ichigo realized something. Why wasn't he woken up yet? Where was his father screaming 'Good morning my darling son!' Confused by the lack of weirdness Ichigo focused on opening his eyes in the real world and woke up. Turning he saw his alarm clock.
"Fuck! Shiro wake up!" screamed Ichigo.
Ichigo didn't so Ichigo found a pair of Shiro's crusty undies, the ones Hyo was helping with and his Shiro dead in the face causing him to wake up and scream. His breathing was rapid but calmed down slightly when he saw Ichigo running around like a mad man. Hoping on one foot as he was trying to put on his pants. Tripping over Shiro's project of a model air plane, something Kisuke thought would therapeutically help Shiro. Ichigo ended up breaking the thing and Shiro ended up getting mad. Not explosive mad either. The strong, silent type where you think he'd cry but he wouldn't. However, Ichigo was too busy to notice and Shiro got up and continued to get dressed. They didn't have long before they were late to school.
Finally dressed the two left the room. Bothing giving Hyo a goodbye. Ichigo petting and scratching the feline while Shiro nodded his head. Still slightly upset about his poor plan. He'd work on it for a week. He didn't mean to leave it on the floor either. So Shiro stayed silent. Following behind Ichigo and the two leaving the house with a piece of toast in their mouth and their bento in their bags. Running as fast as they could. Both not even noticing as Hyo was looking at them from the window. Ears flat and a small pitiful meow of loneliness escaping from his lips.
They had to go separate ways in the hallway. Ichigo being on the second floor for Social Studies and Shiro on the third floor for Art class.
Ichigo sat in his seat. The second seat on the second row to the window. He always sat there. It was his seat. Everyone knew. Everyone had their seat. It was something designated to them in the first three days of class and no one would sit there. Unless some piss ant was too dumb then yes, they would sit in someone else's spot.
The teacher was sitting in her corner and waiting for the bell to ring. Ichigo pulled out a pen and pen. It was how class went. The teacher would droll on and on about collectivism and individualism. About how it affected certain things. It was pointless but the course was suppose to teach them how to think for themselves. Ichigo did know how to think for himself but if he did he'd get kick out for sure on his description of some of the people.
The bell rang a few seconds later. Ichigo sitting in class and writing down what Ms. Basterbine wrote. She then told the students to open their books to page 235 and the kids did such. They were told to read the article and think about how it was individualism or collectivism since the majority of the class had done so badly on their papers. Ichigo got his handed back and received a 73% thankful for such a good mark.
Ichigo did as the teacher read. The article about polygamy and if it was right for men to take more than one wife. Ichigo read and thought about it. Knowing there would be a discussion on it. He thought it was collectivism since it was a group of religious people. Knowing that in Canada they had the charter of rights and freedom allowing them to have the right to express such a religion. Ichigo saw nothing wrong with polygamy. As long as the woman were of age and they were not being harmed. From the article he read the family did not have abuse nor did the woman seem unhappy.
Soon the teacher clapped her hands together to gain attention. Beginning to explain on how this article related to this course and asking questions of how some students felt. A lot of men surprisingly saying how it was wrong and disgusting. Shocking Ichigo since most of them men were more of the drooling type of seeing woman on woman action or the prospect of having a threesome. Eventually the discussion escalated. A girl agreed with what Ichigo thought, even if he didn't say it out loud she spoke what he spoke. Eventually a boy bringing up how being gay was wrong too and it was disgusting. Ichigo spoke now. The bible was mentioned and Ichigo and others, even straight men spoke up. Saying how the bible indicated torture was right. Ichigo decided it was his time to speak.
"The bible is just a big crock of shit," said Ichigo," being gay ain't right but hey, torture people is all good. God is a hypocrite. Saying he will love us but you have to be his follower. He does not love us all. He only favorites. What's wrong with being gay? Sorry but it doesn't really affect society that bad as we go further and further into the years. Face it, the world is changing."
"Of course you'd say that you homo!" said a male student.
"Fuck you man!" growled Ichigo," just 'cause I'm gay don't mean I do PDA or nothing. I don't even do anything inappropriate at school. Even ask the girl's Yaoi fan club!"
"It's true," piped in one of the members nodding her head, Rukia, always wanting to see some Grimmjow and Ichigo hotted scenes.
"Kurosaki!" shouted Ms. Basterbine," go to the office now! I will not tolerate cursive language in my classroom."
Ichigo grumbled but took his bag and walked towards the door. Scowl on his face and an expression that made a lot of the students . Basterbine not even scared since her father was a veteran from the war in Vietnam. So here Ichigo was on his way to the office. Making it there and causing the secretary to sigh. Ichigo was often here a lot from socials class due to what he believed. The secretary telling Ichigo to wait patiently since Principle Ichimaru would be with him nodded his head.
The room was warm. Silent as well. The only noise being when the secretaries would type on their computers, the phone when it rang every now and then and the sound of information being printed out. Finally the door opened and Ichigo was let in. Gin was sitting casually in a white long sleeved shirt that went past his hands and some white pants. Ichigo used to his brother's boyfriend weird sense of style. Ichigo took his seat. Gin giving that serious aura off until the man pulled out a jar of suckers. Offering one to Ichigo but only having him shake his head. Not in the mood for candy.
Gin sighed." IchiI can't protect ya fereva just 'cause yer Shi's little brother."
"I know," agreed Ichigo.
"Sssoooo," Gin drawled out," I'll give you two weeks detention. How's that sound?"
"Better than what the old principle Mr. Sosuke would have given me," agreed Ichigo.
"Okay now shoo shoo," said Gin," I have work to do."
"More like jackin' off to pictures of Shiro," muttered Ichigo.
"Wha' was' tha' Ichi-chan?"
"Nothing," mumbled Ichigo and then louder," and why are you calling me Ichi-chan! I'm not a girl!"
Heading back to the room the sound of his quiet footsteps filled the silent halls. As he walked up to the second floor Ichigo ran into one student and one faculty member. One almost giving him detention for being out of class until Ichigo explained he was seeing Mr. Ichimaru and was let off scot free in the end. Mr. Izuru had a week spot for his predecessor and ex-lover. never wanted to anger Gin in high hopes of Gin taking him back. Not likely.
Returning into the classroom Ichigo noticed that the teacher was out. Most likely photocopying some things that were needed and forgot to during break time. Seeing Gauge, Ichigo looked away from him while mutter 'Arscholch' since his friend taught him that one cursive word. However, Gauge, unknowingly to Ichigo knew German, and anyone could figure out that archloch meant asshole. Guage began to huff and puff and come forward. Ichigo shocked that Gauge heard him since Ichigo swore he had been really quiet while saying it. He wasn't. He saw Gauge take the initiative but Ichigo couldn't move. For some strange reason he was frozen in place. Eyes widening as the first went in front of his face and slammed into him. Ichigo is confused. Not even getting a second chance to defend himself he felt another powerful attack having his head move to the side. Unable to do anything Ichigofelt the air escape his stomach from a punch to the gut. He was gasping for air now and felt both of Gauge's fits swing together and hit the side of his head as he was hunched over. Ichigo falling and smashing into the desks, knocking a few over and having book and desks land over his body. Trying to stand up, Ichigo found his breath ragged as he was on his hands and knees. Standing up he felt himself wobble. Vision slightly blurred, Ichigo tried to defend himself.
Yet, Gauge wouldn't allow Ichigo to have the upper hand. Before Ichigo go move, Gauge grabbed his orange locks and smashed Ichigo's face into an other desk. Blood gushing out of his nose and a trail moving down as Ichigo fell to his knee's. Gugage kicking his back causing Ichigo to fall on his side on the floor gasping for breath but was unable to get as much as needed. Feeling like a fish out of water as his head throbbed painfully. Vision darkening some more. Ichigo wouldn't make a sound though. Not giving his opponent the victory of that.
Instead, he took it. Unable to move a muscle since his body felt as if there was a pile of bricks on his body. Grunting, Ichigo felt some pressure come and go on his abdomen. Looking down through half-lidded eyes Ichigo noticed that there was a boot. Why was there a boot? The light bulb went off and Ichigo remembered he was getting his ass handed to him. Coughing harshly, hurting his throat Ichigo felt something coming up. Praying it wasn't bile but when it did come up he heard students gasp. Looking down he noticed it was blood. His blood to be exact. Vision growing darker and darker Ichigo could not see anything past a few feet. Gauge was nothing but a shadow now. Slowly fading away.
While unconscious the students around him gasped. No, it wasn't from the blood coming out of Ichigo's mouth like he had suspect but it was because of what formed. There was now a pair of black ears and a tail to match. The students began murmuring to themselves. Not knowing what to do. They knew that there was a neko hybrid community but didn't know where it came from. Where they were located. It made them nervous. Being around such a creature as dangerous as Kurosaki now.
Before they could say anything else footsteps were heard. Gasping even louder the kids frantically ran to their seats thinking it was the teacher. Instead it was not. A blonde man with a piano like grin and a tall lanky man with an eyepatch and a grin that was matching walked in. People's eyes becoming the size of saucers as the tall one with ease puled Ichigo over his shoulders as if he were nothing. Ichigo was still unconscious and the blonde man looked at Gauge.
"Ya lucky we neko's can't touch ya," warned the blonde.
The two mysterious men began to walk out as if it were nothing. Making it out of the school undetected. Shocking since the school had camera's but Shinji, the blonde man figured the public school was too cheap to pay for new supplies. Thus, making his job easier.
Placing Ichigo in the car Shinji watched him. Noticing how his heart was beginning to slow down. The transformation not helping his condition in the least.
"Step on it Nnoitra!" ordered Shinji," or else Kitty ain't gonna make it."
Nnoitra Gigla did as ordered. Taking off roads that were not available to the public making his speeding all the more easier. Shinji informing Nnoitra that the boy, Ichigo, the werepanther was loosing too much blood. It was making Shinji nervous. Seeing all the bruises forming and the blood from the kids head. Shinji was unaware of Ichigo being slammed into a desk, desks topping over him. All Shinji knew was some wannabe punk was kicking Ichigo. Werepanthers were so rare in the neko hyrbid world and Shinji would be us devastated seeing one go.
The time went by. Grimmjow and Shiro waiting for Ichigo at lunch time. They had heard some rumours flying by that Gauge had kicked the shit out of Ichigo. They had went to the teacher's but none knew anything about it. The students in Ichigo's class refusing to speak to Grimmjow and Shiro since they were considered delinquents and thought teachers would lower their GPA for talking to them.
Through his frustration Grimmjow punched a wall. Angered and frustrated. There was no one willing to help Ichigo. He didn't even try to hurt people and they shunned him. What pissants. Grimmjow would be getting his revenge on those jerks when the time came. However, his fun little plots were interrupted by Shiro. Saying they didn't ask Gin. Grimmjow knew he'd regret going to the principle but agreed anyway.
The pair went to Gin and asked. Only Shiro being allowed entrance. Lets jut say it took the majority of Grimmjow's lunch away for their quicky. Grimmjow couldn't even go to the cafeteria to get a fucking sandwich because Shiro threatened to castrate him. Scary stuff coming from a wackadoodle as some would call Shiro. Something Grimmjow wouldn't no matter how true it was.
Time went buy and after an hour of searching after school they sat in Ichigo's and Shiro's room. Grimmjow was devastated. Knowing someone took his boyfriend and knowing the cops couldn't do anything until forty-eight hours.
"Maybe we should wait until he comes home," offered Grimmjow," maybe he just went to the hopsital."
"Maybe," whispered Shiro in hope.
Ichigo felt like he had been hit with a sledge hammer. Mouth feeling like there was cotton balls stuffed in there. Ichigo was damn thirsty. Groaning from pain, he opened his eyes to have it blurred. Something white, skin colored and yellow in his face. Blinking, after a few seconds it cleared and he was an unfamiliar man grinning widely. Screaming in shock Ichigo tried to move back only to feel hands wrapped around his upper arm keeping him in place.
The blonde man chuckled." Names Shinji and this is my buddy Nnoitra."
"What the fuck!" screamed Ichigo," if you're kidnappers you don't just give away names!"
"Now who said we were kidnappers?" asked Shinji pretending to be offended,"we saved yer ass at least give us a thank you."
"Tch, thanks," said Ichigo.
"Don't sound very sincere to me," sang Shinji.
"Don't push it," growled Ichigo in warning.
"Oooo this kitty has claws," teased Shinji.
"I wanna go home," whispered Ichigo.
"Now we can't do that," said Shinji in a serious tone.
"Why not?" asked an offended Ichigo.
"Well you see.." began Shinji.
Starting at the beginning of time where man began his evolution, some did better than others. Able to keep the genes of an animal within them. At first men became nothing but ape and man mixed, known as Sasquatch. Then there were men who found other animals. Encountering them and trying to mimic their attributes. Something with the genetic became strange from disjunction. Chromosomes not forming right and causing mutations. Even though humans were intelligent they still needed the survival skills of an animal to survive before heat, electricity and all those other things were invented. In the end, something other worldly affected the mutation. Some would say it was a god, or a magician it was never truly known but that was how hybrids were created. Becoming half human half animal. There were many mythical creatures named after them. Werewolf, chimera, sasquatch, the locnes monster. Those were well known ones. Shinji was explaining all this to Ichigo. Saying how it was a genetic mutation passed on. Sometimes through inheritance and another through sheer mutation. See, even though the chromosomes were formed differently through disjunction, it didn't look like they were mutated though. The chromosomes appearing to look normal. The only ones knowing if they were human or not being other wereanimals. Each of them once finding one tracking them until they reached a certain age. Ichigo hit that age where he was now considered an adult in their world.
After hearing all this information Ichigo didn't know what to do. He was now considered a freak of nature. A act at the circus. He didn't like it.
"I want to go home," repeated Ichigo in a whispered tone.
"You are home," Shinji informs," you're human family won't accept you. I was mutated just like you and ya know what they did. My sister tried a skin me alive and make me inta a rug!"
Nnoitra scoffed."They won't love you no more."
"I don't believe you," said Ichigo defiantly.
"Fine then I'll send ya home," said Nnoitra," see fer yerself first hand then."
They kept there word. Ichigo was given a pair of Shinji's clothes being the closest to him in height and weight. They had cleaned him while he slept and they lead him toward the car. Ichigo sitting down in the seat watching his surrounding. Unaware of his car like reflection. Instead he looked at cars, foliage and any other landmarks that might be necessary if they kidnapped him again. Meaning he could escape. Finally they made it to Karakura Town passing the city limits sign. Making it through the town with ease and they even drove to his house without asking. The lights were on and it was dark outside. Street lights flickering on. Opening the door Ichigo got out. Thanking them. Ichigo begins to walk away. Hearing one last thing.
"They won't accept you," repeated Nnoitra in a low whisper before the car silently drove off.
Briar: I hope you like it. And yes right now Ichi has his ears on :3
Grimmjow: I want my Ichi! *snatches Ichi and places him on lap*
Briar: Well lets hope this doesn't get pornographic. Until next time my lovelies, don't forget to review.
