Tensa Kurosaki Fanfiction AU (Bleach)

Chapter 8

Tensa dropped you home that night, but he didn't say two words to you. You spent the better part of that night crying into your pillows. When you woke the next morning, you were too exhausted.Truth is you didn't want to face Tensa, because you did nothing wrong. 

Even if something had happened between you and Ichigo, it was none of his business. You're friends. Nothing more. So you decided why not take this day to collect your thoughts and relax. Not to worry about Tensa, or boys or feelings. It's not like you skip class everyday. You can afford to miss one day.

~~~~~

"Have you seen (Y/N)-chan." Tensa shakes his head at Orihime's question. She sighs heavily. Taking a seat. She felt responsible. Staring at the bento on her desk, she barely had an appetite. This break couldn't end fast enough.

Tensa's eyes move to your empty seat.

"(Y/N).."

It was petty to be mad at you for what happened last night, but he couldn't help it. Seeing you on top of Ichigo of all people really pissed him off. His fist tightened and the pencil he held snapped. He blinked, dropping the broken item.

He couldn't recall ever being this agitated. He usually had a pretty good handle on his moods, much better than his destructive brother. He prided himself on being in control. He felt like it was expected somehow. 

As a kid he wasn't as vocal as Ichigo, and that tamed part stayed with his personality even at such an age. Now it felt more like a disadvantage. He couldn't handle these types of issues. Nor could he shake the torn expression on your face last night. He should have just talked it over with you. Wasn't he supposed to be the mature one?

"Oi!!" His head lifted.

"Ichigo." Seeing the male just added to his irritation.

"Is there something you need?"

Ichigo's frown deepened. "Are you really going to sit there and act like nothing's happened. What kind of coward are you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." The calm tone just made it worse.

Ichigo grabbed a hold of his shirt, yanking him out the chair.

"Just admit it!! You were pissed seeing her with someone else!" Tensa's gaze hardened, but he gave no response or outward reaction.

"I'm not so childish as to pick a fight over something like this. " Everyone in class was now watching. Orihime was at the back, unable to do much. She hated it. Ichigo had already explained what happened in the closet. She'd known the male all her life. Ichigo wasn't the type to play with anyone's feelings. Her jealousy at that moment just got away with her.

In a way, she sort of saw this confrontation coming. She reacted poorly, no doubt Tensa did the same. And with you missing from school, it was expected that Ichigo assumed it was something Tensa said or did. She rushed out of the room.

"I need to find Tatsuki-chan, or Rukia-san."

They would know what to do.

"Why the hell won't you just admit it! "

"Admit what exactly." Came Tensa's dry response.

Trying to squeeze it out wouldn't work, he needed a different tactic. Tensa wasn't as straightforward as him, but maybe deep down he had the same impulsive streak to protect.

"So you'll be fine if I took her then. You really think (Y/N) just fell into my lap. " The taunt urged a small reaction. Ichigo could see the change in Tensa's eyes. He grinned inwardly.

"Gotcha."

"She's so easy too. I'm sure she'd say yes to anything I asked. '' Ichigo whispered. Tensa's eyes grew wide. Ichigo jumped back at the last second when he saw the fist coming right for his jaw. He laughed, and Tensa squared his feet.

"Don't you talk about her like that!"

The students around back away, still watching. It got so bad that teens from the class next door were peaking out to see the commotion.

"You don't care about her. So she's fair gain. Isn't that right."

"No!"

"Why not, you don't even flinch when she skips school. Maybe I'll swing by later and comfort her. " Tensa gritted his teeth charging at Ichigo. The first few punches, Ichigo dodged. With each block, he'd back up a little more. When he found himself cornered, Tensa pushed forward, driving his fist into the wall when Ichigo moved his head. He jumped unto a desk, looking down at Tensa who was huffing from the erratic attacks. His knuckles were bruised, but he didn't seem affected by it.

"Getting so heated, you're pathetic. She isn't even your girlfriend."

"Shut up!!"

"Why, you know in that closet we did more than just talk right. I kissed her." Tensa snapped, grabbing a chair and throwing it with force. Ichigo moved and it connected with the wall, smashing into pieces.

"Bastard!! No one's allowed to touch (Y/N) SHE'S MINE!!!!"

 Ichigo was wearing the widest grin.

"Finally got you to admit it."

He stepped down from the desk, walking over to Tensa.

"Listen Tensa I-" He couldn't finish the sentence, because Tensa punched him in the stomach. He buckled, tumbling to the floor.

"W-What the hell!!"

"You really think I'll let you get away with kissing (Y/N)!"

"Listen to me idiot!"

It was clear Tensa wasn't interested in chatting anymore. He grabbed another chair and Ichigo sweatdropped. "N-Now wait just a second..."

Tensa wore a dark look. "I'm the only one allowed to touch (Y/N)."

Suddenly baiting the usually emotionless male seemed like a bad idea.

"G-GYAH!!!"

~~~~

Rukia had gotten there just in time, and now both male's had a red imprint on the side of their cheeks. The only evidence of a fight present when the teacher walked in was the broken furniture.

"It was foolish to make up such stories. I should have known better. (Y/N)-san would never go for a brute like you." Tensa muttered. The comment earned a glare from Ichigo. They both stiffen when they felt the dangerous look Rukia sent them. "If you interrupt class again, I'll end both of you. " The remainder of the day, class went by without so much as a whisper.

~~~~

"They what!!!"

"I-I should have stopped it. B-But Ichigo was really upset and he just grabbed him." Orhime was now giving you a replay of what happened that afternoon at school. Apparently both Kurosaki's had gotten into a brawl.

"It was because of me...wasn't it.." you felt guilty, and Orihime nodded. Although she hadn't done anything, she felt just as guilty.

"Gomen, (Y/N)-chan. Last night I...I was so caught up in my own feelings that I didn't give you a chance to explain. You're my friend, I should have given you the benefit of the doubt." Her eyes lowered, and you could see the grip she had on her skirt. You smile, taking her hand.

"I don't blame you Orihime. If the roles were reversed I probably would have done the same thing. But I need you to know, I'd never do that to you. I know how you feel about Ichigo and I think you two would make a cute couple." Her eyes watered.

"(Y-Y/N)-chan!!" She started wailing, jumping into your arms and you laughed, patting her back.

"Let's promise not to let stupid boys ever get in the way of our friendship again okay?"

She nods furiously.

"Hai!!"
