Chapter 3

Author's Note:

Kira: Yay! I finally get to update! I'm really excited about all of my Bleach fanfics! They've become quite popular! Don't you agree SM2J96?? After all, you help me out a lot!

SM2J96: YEAH! :D

Ichigo: Who's she? I've never seen her before...

Zero: Baka, she's the one who comments on all of the stories....

Kira: Yeah, Ichigo, you don't pay much attention do you?

Ichigo: I do too! I just didn't remember...

SM2J96: I don't mind, as long as she keeps updating!

Kira: Arigato, let's continue on!

Zero's POV:

I looked at my watch as I strode out of the store, bags in hand. I hope Ichigo hasn't gotten too lazy to wait for me...

Wait! What am I thinking!?! We're just friends, who cares if he's not there..

I turned the corner, but froze as I realized who was blocking my path: Koshihana Gaidoku and her gang. They were the one's who usually bullied me at school because of my orange hair.

"Well,  if it isn't Zero?" Koshihana spat, her dyed blue hair gleaming in the sun as she walked out of the shadows. And she said I had weird hair....

"I....I was just going home, move please." I said, my expression turning fierce.

Her and her ugly friends just laughed. "Did you hear that? Little Zero just asked me to move?" She turned back to me looking severly pissed. "You don't make up the rules here, missy."

Koshihana landed a punch to my cheek and I fell on the sidewalk. The gang then continued to kick and hit me as I lay on the pavement. I desprately wanted to call for help but, I knew that wouldn't do any good.

They stopped hitting me and I opened my eyes to see Koshihana standing over me. She was holding a metal baseball bat, playing with it in her hands.

She smirked. "Goodnight, Kyomusei, Lights out!" Koshihana shouted as she swung the bat towards my head. I closed my eyes, waiting for the pain.

However, I felt nothing.

"No one hurts Zero while I'm around." A harsh tone spat and I looked up to see Ichigo hovering over me, his back to me.

Koshihana struggled under the grip of Ichigo's hand on the bat. She smiled, even though there were traces of worry in her eyes.

"Well, if it ain't another orange-head! Let me guess....You're that dumb girls boyfriend?"

I watched in amazement Ichigo crushed the metal bat like it was a toothpick. "Damn right and if you want your ugly faces to still be intact, you should run away right now. I don't have much patience."

I smiled, Ichigo...he came to save me.

WAIT?!? Did he say he was my boyfriend!?!? He was gonna get it later....

Koshihana stared at the now crumpled piece of metal and quickly dashed off. The rest of her gang of yanki's following right after her. I licked my lips, the taste of copper on my tongue, hopefully they won't ever bug me again.

I wiped the blood off my lip only to find more appearing. Crap, I must've busted my lip...

Ichigo turned to me with a smile on his face."Are you ok?"

"I'm-Ow.." I mumbled as I tried to get up. My body hurt all over, I was covered in bruises and scrapes. "At least they didn't cut my hair this time..." I mumbled to myself.

"Your lip..." Ichigo whispered. His chocolate irises were staring intently at my busted lip. Then, the brown faded into a crimson red and Ichigo leaned towards me.

"Ichi-mmph!"

His lips were against mine in a flash. He pinned me back down on the ground, his tongue swiftly licking the blood from my lips. I squirmed underneath Ichigo's grip. However, my lips had other ideas...

I was actually kissing him back!

Then, his tongue went past my lips and into my mouth. I blushed as the small muscle explored my mouth and touching my own tongue.

Ichigo pulled back and we both sat there for a moment, trying to catch our breath. He looked at me, a slight blush on his cheeks.

"Sorry....about that..." He mumbled. "I just saw the blood and my instincts took over..."

My head was spinning, probably from get my head hit again when Ichigo pushed me down. Suddenly, I blacked out..

*********************

"Zero..."

I opened my eyes slowly. I looked around and saw that I was back in my own apartment.

"What..?" I whispered.

"You passed out after I....Well, probably because you got pounded by those girls so hard." Ichigo said and I looked beside me to see him kneeling beside the couch.

"Ughh..." I mumbled. My body felt like I had been run over by a steamroller.

"Sorry that I didn't come sooner. I got worried so I came to check on you and I heard a scream so I ran over-"

I interrupted Ichigo. "Thanks for saving me. I would've been toast if you came any later though."

Ichigo laughed. "Yeah, I'm glad you're alright. I might've killed those girls if they hit you with that baseball bat."

Aww, So Kawaii XD

They kissed! YEAH

Anyways, what'll happen next!?!? Who knows, it might involve a certain albino....
