CHAPTER TEN
I violently grabbed Isshin by the shirt and snarled right in his face. Out of instinct of felling threaten he did the same thing to me. Now we stood at a dead stand still. Growling and glaring viciously at each other. In my eyes though, they stung with the poison of tears. I'm at the brink of losing everything that I hold dear and that truth only fluid the anger I had towards the idiot who caused it!
"How the hell could you have possibly lost track of my little sisters. What the hell is wrong with you Old Man? Can you not protect anything I hold dear. YOU FUCKING BASTERED! I'll kill you!" I cried, "I'll kill you!" my voice losing it's power as everything sunk in. Aizen…he had power over me that I didn't want-that I never asked for! GOD I NEED A DRINK!
"Ichigo you got to gain control" he said in a warning voice. "I'll tell you everything I promise."
As he said that I noticed something. It was faint- the sound-it sounded like it suddenly sped up as he said those words. "You're lying," I growled, my hands tighten around his shirt as if for dear life.
Without warning his hand meets my cheek. I glared at him; another growl just inches from escaping. Next he grabs both sides of my faces, "Ichigo you need to focus. The angrier you get, the more you'll force the change, and it will hurt like hell. Worse than it will tonight."
I blinked away the haze that was threatening to consume my vision and really really tried to focus on his words. I breath in deeply and each intake of breath seemed to push my rage back down, but that didn't ease my distress for my sisters. I almost started to hyperventilate again. My eyes widen about the change part. "What do you mean change?"
"Tonight's the full moon. You and I will both change, and trust me the pain is a bitch. I'm going to need you to go to school now while I figure out were you're sisters are. Stay away from your friends and don't let Rukia out of your sight." he said in a calim voice that was ment to calm me down. So I went to school.

I set at me desk next to the window head down and shaking uncontrollably. When I walked into the teacher less class room I was assaulted with too many things I didn't recognized and couldn't sort out what they were. The smell of everyone made my mouth water. For some reason all eyes turned on me. Yeah my hair looked like it grew four inches in twodays and I looked taller. This went unnoticed by the male and female students in my class because I smelled a large amount of testosterone in the air and estrogen. I wrinkled my nose in disgust. The only female I was interested in was Rukia. That wasn't the lot of my problem however-despite the hormonal air their scent filled the air. In my eyes the imagined of an array of different animals roasting over a campfire dripping with blood begging me to eat it! It was like I was half human half animal. They didn't look like prey, but my mind begged to differ. Though I already ate, my hunger seem to be endless! I wanted to roar in anger from the damn temptation; not being able to indulge myself with there warm hearts, but I couldn't even do that. There was also the pack I had to deal with. The pack I belonged to, but were plotted against me. Hatred fell off me like the violent waters of the Niagara Falls. Images of my teeth ripping threw there throats, my claws digging into there chest for there hearts, and me mercilessly devouring them. I was pretty sure they wanted to hurt me too and I relished in the idea of a good fight and hopeful when I win-I would be able to delight myself in my spoils. I couldn't let go of these feeling no matter how many times I would do a calming exercises.
"Ichigo?" came the weary voice of my girlfriends.
That was another problem I couldn't deal with. For the pass ten minutes Rukia's been calling my name to figure out what was wrong. I was afraid if I spoke-I wouldn't sound like myself. It already took everything not to growl hungrily at her scent. Today it seem twice as alluring as before, but unlike the others I didn't want to eat her, though the idea was more than tempting at the memory of her blood, I wanted to take her again like last night. To here her scream my name, instead of it being muffled by a pillow so her damn brother wouldn't hear us. At that moment I wondered what it would be like if I took her under the full moon that seemed to be calling me. The thought peaked my arousal and I really couldn't afford to get horny at a time like this. No one could see, but all of my teeth were sharpen into fangs and my nails were black and sharp. Not only that, but my skin felt too tight…like I was stretching a rubber band to it's limits, and if I moved in the slightest I would tear apart. Man you don't just now what I would do for a drink. Why the hell weren't Renji and them feeling a shitty as I felt.
"Ichigo," she hissed.
If I didn't answer she would never stop calling my name, I thought. I shifted my head so I could glare at her threw one eye. I loved Rukia, but her damn voice along with everyone else was giving me one hell of a migraine. "What," I groaned miserably.
Rukia sucked in a sharp breath and I watched her face turn pale as her eyes widen. "You-your eyes," she stuttered then I watched as a shiver found it's way to her body.
Quickly I turned my head from her and cursed. When I saw her all I saw was a red tinge over everything. The sight only made the sound of heartbeats seem to heighten. And I cringed with hunger. I needed to get out of here. I hear her get up from her desk and crouched next to me and whispered, "What the hell is wrong with you? Are you cold? You're shaking like an earthquake and you're getting death glares from most of the class. You're eyes…" she seemed to struggle with what she wanted to say. The sight of them must have really scared her. I wasn't sure what they could have looked liked to her. "they're black," she swallowed thickly. "and you iris are glowing bright yellow."
I froze at her words and another shuddered rocked threw me- this time strong enough to shake the desk. I sucked in a deep strangled breath as images of Him went three my head.
"You can smell them Ichigo."
The sound of His voice turned my body to stone; ceasing my trembling. Rukia took noticed and called out to me, "Ichigo?"
"Save yourself the torment and eat!" he growled. "If not, you'll only be killing more as soon as the moon rises."
"Ok let's get started class. Roll call" Miss Misato declared. "Abarai?"
"Here," Renji says almost bored, but his eyes never leaving Ichigo's back.
My blacken nails carved themselves into the wooden desk in hopes of easing the temptation, but that was useless, so instead I begged Him to shut up! Yet, my heart beat sped up at the thought of chasing prey. I found myself slightly hyperventilating again. I bit my lower lip and sucked at the blood hopeing that was ease my blood lust.
Fat chance of that happening, I laught morbidly. I could feel the eyes of more class mates glareing at me and I was sure at any minute noe Miss Misato would come and wack me with her book. I had the feeling if she did that she wouldn't see tomorrow and nor would the rest of the class.
"Ichii?" Rukia's small voice called out to me-almost as if she could feel my pain.
My heart ached for her. Without warning, and as if she read my mind, Rukia took the hand that was clawing at the desk into her own. I flet her lips brush themselves aginst the back of my hand in a soft kiss. Suprisingly her warm touch seem to did it. My skin seemed to loosen as id her were massageing them, I felt my limbs relax and my teeth turned back to normal. Slowly, I lifted my head, and as I blinked the red haze disappered. At that moment I wanted to kiss her. I looked at her awked, woundering how the hell had she did that. Tamed the beast that I was becoming. Oddly enough thought in the back of my head I hear Him growl disapprovingly that Rukia had the ability to do that. Was this why the Old Man wanted Rukai in my sights? Had Mom also been able to keep dad in check?
"Kuchiki?"
"Here." Rukia called. She smiled at me. And this time it was my turn to inhale shapely. She looked different today…more like a woman than the cute girl who was mystified by a juice box.
"Kurosaki…Kurosaki? KUROSAKI!" Out of know where a book suddenly collied with my head, sending me backwards and hiting the back of my head on the desk behind me; my hand still in Rukia's.
I rubbed the sore spot on the back of my head glared at her, "Damn it I'm here!"
"Next time answer then you won't have to get hit again," she say cool as if there was nothing wrong with abusing a student.
I bared my teeth at her and almost growled until I felt Rukia giving me a reassuring squeeze and smiled at me. I climbed back into my seat and sulked for the rest of the class. Rukai's smile had shined as bright as the moon and it reminded me of what today was-on this day my mother died…Man I could really use that drink, I thought.
/.\
During lunch I gave Rukia my meal ticket, so while she was gone I could eat the raw meat on the roof without her looking at me with disgust. I had filled my whole bag with it and had left all my school ork at home. It wasn't like I needed to turn any of it in anyway. Even thought I ate every bit of it I was still hungrey, though it wasn't as bad as this morning. Sighing, I laied on my back wishing Rukia would hurry up! I really needed her it seemed. I closed my eyes and tried to find her. When I inhealed deeply I immediately found her. She was on her way back up the stairs. 5...4...3...2...1...I opeaned my eyes as son as she walked threw the door and gaver her a warm smile despite my mood.
"Don't give me that fake smile Ichigo," she scowled. "I know you're upset." Rukia set the food in front of us and then set on my stomach like it was a sheet cushion.
"You need to eat," was all I said.
"How can I eat when you're bring down my mood more so than usual. What's wrong with you besides the fact that tonight it a full moon?" she questioned. Somehow her big purple eyes never seem to miss anything.
"He took my sisters." I say flattley.
"Renji?" Rukia asked startled.
I glared at the partialy visible moon in the blue sky at the name. "He might as well have," I mumbled.
"What was that?"
"I don't know," I confessed, "If could have been Renji, but I doubt it. Renji proabaly won't have the balls to show up at school today." Rukia practically choked on her raman when I said 'balls' and I watched as her faced turned beat red. How cute…
"Why are you here at school then Ichigo? Shouldn't you be out there looking for them? Dose you dad even know? Who would want to take you're sisters anyway?"
I took a deep breath. My eyes still stearing at the moon, "He told me to ocme to school that he'd take care of it and it would call me if he needed me. It was his fault that they went missing," I growled, "He was watching them! And on top of all that, the bastered is a damn Alpha! For some reason Azien is using them as leverge. To either get to me or my dad. I don't know what to fucking to Rukia." I say in a defeated tone. All this bull shit had to happen of all day?
"So he told you?" she asked.
I propped my self up on my elbows and looked at her. "You knew! And tou didn't tell me Rukia? What the fuck!" I say pissed. I layed back down and glared some more at the moon as if I could make it explode at my death glared.
"Isshin made me promise not to tell you. He seemed like he had his reason for not telling you. It seemed like he thought if he told you what he was, that you would hate him," she defended.
"The Old man is hiding something alright. The man can be a nuisance sometimes, but how can I hate my own dad?"
"Did you eat already?" Rukia had cleaned the first meal already and had the second in her hand.
I nodded and was about to take a quick nap, blocking the sunlight with my arm, until she tapped my whoulder. I peeked up at her and noticed a blush on her cheeks. "What do you want Midget?" I groaned. My lunch had settled and was making me sleepy.
"I-I need help." she muttered embarrassed then she motioned to her sling.
Sitting up, I pulled her closer to me, grabbed her utensils and food, "Here comes the big bad wolf!" I teased as I stirred the food to her mouth.
I watched her face heat up with embarrassment. Her face was set in a messed up frown because she was trying so hard not to smile. I couldn't help but laugh at her. So much for acting like a woman. She scowled at me and hit my harm playfully. I set aside her food and pulled her in for a kiss that asked for forgiveness her happiness. This was what I needed. Not that damn alcohol, but Rukia. My sweet sweet Rukia.
At the end of the day I walked Rukia to her ride at the school's gate. Turned out she had to go to the hospital to see if she needed surgery. I preyed she didn't and I also hopped that the disagreement I was about to be in wouldn't be too bad. I've just barely been able to stay sane all day because of that nagging voice. Before I had to deal with them I went into a liquor store. I easily passes for twenty-one with my new looks. The guy at the counter didn't even ask for ID or took into account that I was wearing a school uniform. I turned into a vacant construction sight and turned to my follower. I was expecting the whole pack, but all I got was on person. I expected it to be at least Renji, but not Ulquiorra. He and I have never been on good terms. We only spoke to each other when we needed to and half of those would me rude remarks. He was probably the only thing as close as someone could get to a Goth. All he wore was green and black, his skin was coconut milk white, and for what ever reason would NEVER smile! The closes he would ever get was the odd look that he would give Inoue, Orihime.
I set down on some steel beam, bit the metal cap off with my teeth and chugged down half of the bottle before I decides to breath. I was glade I bought more than on. I had a feeling it was going to be hard to get a buzz off of this shit then last year. The sky above was a reddish orange hue, and in the distance the moon seem to get more and more visible. Sighting, I wiped my mouth and stared at the frozen person in front of me. He didn't say anything; just watched me so I just kept drinking. I was getting really irritated with him. His empty eye just staring at me were nerving. I threw the empty bottle in the air, Ulquiorra and I still in our death war. With out blinking, when I caught the glass bottle again, instead of up, it was flying for his head. I took another swig, waiting to hear the sound of glass shattering against his face, but before the rim could reach my lips, my drink exploded spilling whisky and glass all over my face and school clothes. In the next second another more glass came down on my face tearing into my skin. Momentarily, I was stun. I didn't expect him to do that.
I wasn't fucking pissed. No, that word was too weak to compared to what I felt! I barred my teeth at him in a snarl. I was beyond loathing. I was going to fucking kill Cifer!
"You're nothing but trash; yet he made you one of us. I don't understand why Master Aizen is so interested in you, but it's not my place to question his actions."
The world was coming into a red haze again in my rage and I felt so uncomfortable in my skin. "Did he ever mention to you that I was a purebred Ookami Otoka?" I question drunkenly.
I watched his eyes widen slightly, but I knew he didn't believe me. I grabbed the third, and sadly my last whisky, and threw it across his face at the same time I tackled him to the ground and started beating the hell out of him. I needed the release. I may not been able to have my classmates, I was happy no on would miss Ulquiorra if I killed him-well except Inoue, but I didn't really care about her. Not once did he try to fight back, and for some reason that pissed me off.
"Why aren't you struggling?" I questioned.
"Because I'm only here as to escort you."
I felt like I was close to popping a blood vessel. This guy really pissed me off. Out of anger I punched in his face again. "To my sisters?" I questioned.
I took his silence as a yes and cursed. I disliked the fact that I couldn't kill him because I needed him. Frowning, I got off of him and headed for the store for another bottle of whisky. The sad thing was before I could even drink it, Ulquiorra decked me across the face so hard that I bit my own cheek and was out in seconds.
Forgive me...didn't have time to check it all the way! R&R WILL REVISE IF NEEDED TO.
