Anime High School

Zeke frowned. "You've made...my queen cry..." He walked briskly over to Ichigo, grabbing his shoulder and turning him around harshly. "I hate to kick someone down after they're hurt, sad...but you didn't have to make Anna so sad." He then shoved him, so Ichigo's back had hit the door, but made sure it wasn't too roughly.
Turning, he then followed where Anna had run, finally reaching up to her.
Touching her shoulder softly, he said, "Anna..."

 

Anna stopped as Zeke's hand touched her shoulder. She bent her head down as tears ran down her face.

 

Ichigo quickly found Zeke and Anna. He spun Zeke off of her and punched him in the face. "Never touch Me!"

Rukia was back at the tree with Sasuke when she felt Ichigo's spiritual pressure rocket. "...Ichigo's in trouble..."

 

"...If you know where he is then lead the way..I'll help him"Sasuke said standing up

 

"I can't actually tell...Hold on I'll find his spirit ribbon..."

 

Anna spun around in shock as she saw Ichigo punch Zeke. She took a step back from them, her eyes filling with tears. What's going on? Ichigo... I didn't mean to hurt you that much... but you can't take on Zeke... She stared at Ichigo and Zeke. She felt like she was about to cry.

 

Touching the side of his face, Zeke clenched his fist, anger in his eyes, despite the cool smile upon his lips. "Is this what I get for trying to take it easy with you?" He raised his hand, poised for a punch, but then lowered it. "You know what - do what you want. I don't have to deal with scum like you, for making a girl such as wonderful as Anna, cry...especially when she never does. And if you don't think you deserve that then obviously, you never cared for her."
He then turned, softly taking Anna's hand and entwining his fingers with hers. "Come on...I have somewhere to show you..."

 

Anna took her hand away from Zeke's and stepped back. "I..." she didn't know what to say... she was stuck... Anna fell to her knees as tears streamed down her face.

 

Ichigo scowled. "You're one to talk! Wanting to extinguish humans! Just the thought of you sickens me...And...I didn't make Anna cry! How dare you say I never cared for her!!" Ichigo saw Anna fall. He wanted to help her, but knew she would reject him.

 

"Humans...they're evil...and Anna knows this as well..." Zeke said, practically whispering the last few words.
Walking closer to Anna, he bent down slightly, looking at her. "Anna...please don't cry...it pains me to see you like this..."
Reaching up with a finger, he gently wiped away her tears. "Please...don't cry..."

 

Anna smacked Zeke's hand away and started running again. She didn't know what else to do. She knew that it was not good to run from your fears, but she did so anyway. This was a problem that she just couldn't seem to solve...

 

Ichigo stood next to Zeke. "Well, it really looks like she LOVES you!"

 

I guess I'll leave her alone for now... Zeke thought, before turning to Ichigo. "What is your problem, human? I leave you alone but yet, you assault me so detestfully. Of course, that's to be expected from you humans..."

 

"Hmph well I didn't exploit Anna in a means to take over the world."

 

Anna stopped and stared at the ground. "What am I doing?!" she asked herself out loud. "They could hurt each-other!" she began running back to where they were.

 

Zeke narrowed his eyes at him. "You're wrong...if you think I wanted to use her...then you truly do have spiteful assumptions. I love her...because she is strong, confident, truly magnanimous...she is clever, yet, can be gentle when the time comes...and she understands what I...go through. But you seem to know nothing of this."
Hearing footsteps, he turned his head, to see Anna, approaching them. "Anna..."

 

"I could care less for arguing with you right now...and besides..." Ichigo mumbled "I feel unwanted here..." Ichigo walked away.

 

Anna stopped about two feet away from Zeke as she saw Ichigo leave. She began to feel sad inside... She ran over to Zeke. "I'm... sorry..." she said. "I didn't mean to run away... I just..." she looked up at him and gave a smile to cover up her sadness. "I was confused at the time but I am better now..." she lied through her smile.

 

Ichigo opened his dorm room and layed on his bed. Tears streamed down his face, and he buried them into his pillow.

 

Zeke frowned. Being the one to always smile, to always cover his feelings...he could tell...there was something more.
"I don't know Anna..." He reached up, touching the side of her face softly. "Was there...something more? Just because you were confused...you can tell me, Anna..."
