Negirau Atashinchi (Bleach Fanfic)

Eel Lady

Heading back to the class, Toshiro felt a major sting of irritation. He slipped into the classroom, wondering when the class, which was boring him, would in fact be over. He also wanted a Hollow to show up, but when it did, he found Uryu hurrying out of the class to take care of it. Hinamori of course turned to glare at him when this happened.

"I never thought that Kurosaki would act this way," the small taicho thought to himself.

"No one is perfect, you yourself should know this," Hyorinmaru hummed, his voice roaring

"But..." Toshiro found himself glancing over at Ichigo at this, then looking away, his face becoming rather miffed. "He's running away from his family. He's upsetting Karin, not letting her be able to talk to him. I thought he was someone who you could easily talk to if need be, easily listening."

"Sometimes, hurt can cause people to react in ways they wouldn't normally act," the dragon stated.

"To the point he now hates us?" the young shingami thought, tapping his pencil against the desk. Matsumoto and Rukia seemed to be doing other things, while Hinamori simply remained prim and proper, staying in character of being a perfect student, though he had a feeling she would have some curt words for him when they got back.

The bell rang, and the small taicho saw the substitute shingami take off. He again tried to keep up with the substitute shingami, heading towards the gate. "Kurosaki!"

At that, Ichigo paused, letting him catch up. "You're really going to be stubborn about this, aren't you?"

"You've been brushing me off all day," the boy stated firmly, his face twisting up into a scowl.

"Toshiro... I told you, we live in two different worlds," Ichigo stated firmly.

"It's Hitsugaya Taicho..." the boy snapped out, his eyes flashing with anger. "Do you really think that you are the only one effected by the fact that you lost your powers?"

"Considering that everyone else is acting like nothing happened, like things are normal," Ichigo began walking forward again.

"Did you really expect us to come see you, when we know that you wouldn't see us and you would just look past us, as if we didn't exist," Toshiro snapped out again.

"Toshiro... what exactly is your problem? You can't expect people to know what you want from them, unless you do in fact say something to them." Ichigo turned his head back around after looking for a few seconds at the boy.

"You should take your own advice about telling people what your problem is," the boy stated. "Other wise you are just a hypocrite."

This time, when Ichigo turned to look at the young shingami, his eyes went wide, his shock evident. He opened his mouth to say something, but a van suddenly pulled up in front of the school. "Shit..."

"You know that van? You got into some kind of trouble, didn't you?" Hitsugaya let out an exasperated sound.

A woman got out of the van, then marched her way up. "Ichigo-chan! You're late for work!" The woman's voice was sickly sweet. Toshiro paused for a bit, completely taken off guard. The woman marched forward, making it clear she meant business. The small boy's jaw drop.

"Look..." the ex substitute shingami spook up, only to have the woman hit him behind the neck, then grab the teenager.

"I've told you time and time again, not to skip out on work," the woman stated, dragging Ichigo over and tossing him into the van.

"Wait..." Hitsugaya blinked a couple of times, not at all sure what was happening. However, when she got into the van, instinct kicked in, and he hurried to grab onto the ladder on the back of the van. He felt himself almost lurched off as the woman took off. Holding on in truth wasn't an easy thing to do, not to mention he heard a few horns honking.
