Chapter 2
The small girl with the brown and red hair ran as fast as she could to escape them. She didn't look back but she knew they were still chasing her. Suddenly a bright light enveloped her and she was taken from Heuco Mundo.
Kyo's eyes shot open to a dimly lit room. Looking around to take in her surroundings she realized she wasn't in a place she knew. Where am I? She silently asked herself, then it dawned on her, I fainted, that's right. Then she blushed slightly as she remembered who she had fainted in front of. Just then the door to the room opened and a young girl entered. She looked to be about ten with black hair and a red hat perched on her head. "Oh, you're awake, I'll get my brother." The girl stated. Kyo just stared at the girl, wondering who she was. The overhead lights flashed on as the orange haired boy came into the room. He eyed her with a concerned look etched on his features. Before he could speak a black haired man burst into the room. "Is she awake?! How's she doing?!" The man yelled, causing Kyo to stare wide eyed at him. "Dad could you be less loud and annoying?" Ichigo sighed, annoyance clear in his tone. The man looked at his son with tears in his eyes. "Oh why must you be so mean to me son!" He cried in a melodramatic tone. Kyo giggled a little at them. Ichigo turned his attention back to the girl in bed, "You seem better." She nodded, "Yes I'm much better, thank you very much." The dark haired man came over to her and took out a thermometer. "Ichigo said you fainted on your way home so he brought you here, to the Kurosaki home and clinic." He explained to her, putting the thermometer in her mouth, "My name is Isshin Kurosaki, and as you can probably guess I'm Ichigo's dad." Kyo smiled, which was hard with the thermometer in her mouth. " 'ice 'o 'ee' 'ou." She tried to say getting a stern look from Isshin. She smiled again sheepishly as Isshin went to place his hand on her forehead, before he could brush away her bangs to check if she had a fever the girl drew back quickly. This got her wierd looks from both Ichigo and Isshin who removed the thermometer from her mouth. "There's no need to check if I have a fever, I'm completely fine." She waved her hand at them and grinned. Isshin looked at the tempereature read on the thermometer, "Well, your temperature is normal." Kyo nodded and opened her mouth to speak but was cut off, "However I would like to keep you here tonight for observation, you did faint for no reason." They could tell Kyo wasn't happy about it, but she didn't argue. "Great, now I'll just call your parents and..." "No!" More strange looks, "U-um I'll call them, they'll worry more if you call Mr. Kurosaki." Kyo exlained as Isshin nodded thoughtfully. Ichigo was staring at her suspiciously. Why did she yell no so quickly? He didn't think much more on the subject as Isshin ran from the room to get a phone for the girl.
"Okay mom, see you tomorrow." Kyo finished as she hung up the phone. She heaved a sigh of relief, That was too close, I've gotta be more careful. Isshin hadn't left the room, waiting to see what Kyo's parents said. "They know, and they trust that I'm in good hands." She grinned at the black haired man. "Good, now if you're hungry dinner will be done soon so you can join us if you like." He offered. Kyo nodded and muttered a quick thanks as he left the room. The small girl turned to stare out the window of her room for the night. She frowned as she realized a possible something. Kyo swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up and made her way shakily over to the window. Staring long and hard at the house next door it hit her, that was her house. As it turned out she lived next door to Ichigo Kurosaki. That's strange that I didn't feel the spiritual pressure when I moved in. "Somehting interesting out there?" A voice said behind her. She turned to look at Ichigo, of course she had sensed him walking down the hall. "Yes actually, something very interesting. See that house right there?" She pointed to the house and the orange haired boy nodded, "I live there." Ichigo's eyes widened slightly. "Really?" He asked, hadn't that house been vacant yesterday? Kyo nodded smiling cheerfully. Ichigo shook his head then remembered why he had come to get her. "If you're hungry Yuzu made extra food so you can have dinner with us if you want." Ichigo said in a slightly awkward manner, he didn't normally invite people to eat with him and his family. Kyo nodded again, "Thank you for the offer, I'd love to."
When Kyo and Ichigo reached the kitchen Isshin let loose a cry and launched himself at the short girl, who in turn dove forward much like a rabbit, did a sommersault and twisted around to come to a stop in a crouching position. "What the hell was that for? She's your patient! You don't go around attacking sick people!" Ichigo shouted at his father who turned to Kyo a happy expression on his face. "You have very quick reflexes, sorry I had meant to attack Ichigo, you just happened to be where I launched myself." In truth he ad attacked her and had been quite positive she would dodge the attack, knowing there was something she was keeping from her new friends. The short girl stood up and brushed her school uniform off, grinning at Isshin, "It's quite alright, I've trained in martial arts so I'm able to dodge most attacks." She gave Ichigo a reassuring smile to show she wasn't going to faint again. Just then the dark haired girl who had checked in on Kyo earlier spoke from her seat at the kitchen table, "Dad can be such an idiot." She gave Kyo a small grin causing said girl to grin back. Isshin on the other hand was now having one of his freak out sessions in which he was crying to a poster of a woman Kyo thought of as very pretty. The dark haired girl took this time to introduce herself, "I'm Karin, Ichigo's sister," She pointed to a girl with brown hair setting food on the table, "That's Yuzu." Yuzu looked up at Kyo, "Hi it's nice to meet you, are you having dinner with us?" Kyo nodded smiling, "Yes thank you." She glanced over at Isshin who was still kneeling in front of the poster, "She's very beautiful Mr. Kurosaki." Of course, Kyo had no idea who the woman was, but she wanted to be polite. Isshin turned to the girl, "Her name's Masaki, she was my wife and Yuzu, Karin, and Ichigo's mother." The dark haired man got a faraway look on his face and Kyo only nodded, not wanting to make the situation any more awkward as she knew it was now when she glanced over at Ichigo who had a pained look on his face. The two girls didn't seem to mind at all, Yuzu serving the food and Karin digging in already.
After dinner Kyo thanked the Kurosakis for allowing her to eat with them about a hundred times. Isshin told her not to worry about it, she was a patient and friend of Ichigo. She had also noticed he seemed to grin at Ichigo then wink at her a lot during the meal. That guy is nice, but kinda creepy. She thought as she went to help with the dishes. However Isshin grabbed her wrist and twirled her around in the direction of her room for the night. "You are a patient and you need to rest, not do the dishes." Isshin firmly told her. "But, I really should help out." Kyo tried to protest but Isshin looked at his son saying, "Ichigo take her back to her room and make sure she gets in bed." The orange haired boy nodded, taking Kyo by the arm and guiding her, despite her protets, back to her temporary room.
Kyo was still protesting when Ichigo let go of her. "Would you just be quiet." Ichigo scowled at the short girl. Her eyes flashed but she didn't say any more as she went over to the bed. A set of blue pyjamas had been laid out on the foot of the bed for her to change into and she turned back to Ichigo. "Thank you again, as soon as I wake up tomorow I will have to go over to my house though." She said, then added quickly, "So my parents won't worry too much." The tall male nodded, leaving so she could change and go to sleep. Kyo scowled as he left. I can't believe they want me to go to bed now. Maybe they won't notice if I just sneak out the window. These thoughts ran through her mind as she changed, but as soon as she laid down on the bed her eyes closed. One final thought crossing her mind, At least they haven't found out yet, hopefully they won't at all.
D-F: So Kyo had dinner with the Kurosaki's. They can be a bit strange sometimes. What is it that Kyo is hiding though, and what exactly is she? Does Isshin know something? What happens next chapter when an unexpected visitor arrives? Find out in Dream Walker chapter 3! =3
