Walking in the Loony Bin

The orange haired young adult was sitting in his usual seat; on the white sofa, near the window and adjacent to the same wall as the door. He was there, sitting and dozing slightly, enjoying what little sunlight that managed to slip through the barred windows.

He sneezed and suddenly his whole demeanour changed. He shot wide awake, blinking slowly and pulled himself up into a straight position. He looked around, scanning his surroundings before he pulled himself off the sofa and started walking around the socializing room.

The nurse on duty recognised the posture and gestures and noted down the change into the patient's file; Zangetsu was out today.

W-i-t-L-B

Zangetsu stalked around the room, passing other patients, ignoring their muttering and whispering, as they did what they always did. The Annoying One was away, hopefully calling in sick today or the Heads had finally come to their senses and fired her, but that was not likely.

He shook his head and looked at the Depressed Hinamori and stopped a few feet away from her. She was always teary eyed, her eyes swollen and red with tears that had disappeared down wet trails off her cheeks. She was always saying the same things.

"Aizen-sama would never do something like that…"

"He'll come back for me…"

"I know… He was forced to do that by the other two! He would never do that!"

But then she would cry again and again, sobbing and sniffling. She was always a mess, one that Zangetsu found interesting because he knew she wasn't human. She wasn't one that was born to this time. She was timeless; she was wearing a person's body while her soul was not bound to this world.

She was a Shinigami. A death reaper. Slaying things – monsters - called hollows and sending souls to the next dimension.

He knew this because that was his main purpose to his wielder but something had happened and in order to save him, he had to come forward, abandoning the power that would awaken in time (which would not waken anymore due to his decision), to care for him while he took the shards of his shattered world and slowly build it back together.

Tensa was also a part of this power. He was younger but he had grown from the time he had wakened. He still loved playing with children but he had grown to distrust adults he did not know and had a temper to be reckoned with.

Zangetsu frowned and continued walking the perimeter, his thoughts taking the turn to the individual that was brute force and instinct. The one that cause them to land in this mess.

Shirosaki. He was born through hate, despair and the desperate need to win. He was the youngest and the one that carried the most negative energy, something similar to a hollow. Zangetsu didn't think too much of that entity. He hardly came out but when he did he left destruction behind.

He would wake when Ichigo, Zangetsu and Tensa felt extreme anger or irritation. That itself was maddening because Ichigo tended to become frustrated easily and that would sometimes grow to full outrage; and the beast would waken.

"Hello everyone!" came the sickeningly sweet voice of the Annoying One. "Time for your pills!" she exclaimed excitedly.

He huffed a deep sigh and continued pacing, his arms folded against his chest. Ignore her till you can't anymore, just ignore her till you can't anymore.

Why don't you let me out?

Zangetsu froze mid-step. No.

Come on Old Man. Even you can't stand her? Why else am I awake?

You'll do something that will cause us all trouble.

Tsk. I'd get rid of her and then we'll never have to face her again! Come on Old Man!

That would definitely be great however, that will only be worse on h—

"Kurosaki-kun! You need to take your medication!"

Shirosaki cackled at the situation, cracking his non-existent knuckles to prepare himself. It was a matter of seconds before this body was in his control. He smirked; he was just prowling under the surface of the skin, waiting for Zangetsu to lose control.

Zangetsu turned to glare at the Annoying Bitch (even Zangetsu's thoughts were being plagued by Shirosaki's crude tongue), his irritation spiking greatly. He snatched the cup and quickly took the pills. He ignored the Annoying Bitch and threw the cup onto the mostly empty tray and turned to stalk away to escape.

And then she snagged his wrist.

Shirosaki felt her cheaply manicured fingers tightened around his wrist and he smirked, waiting for her to say her usual bullshit.

"You aren't usually that rude, Kurosaki-kun," she tutted, her voice grating against annoyed nerves with its screechy tone. She walked to face him, her eyelashes batting against her oily face in what she thought was cute which in truth was actually revolting (well, to the patients anyway… Lucky female bastards don't have to go through this). "What's wrong?"

He glared at her and she recoiled but not before he broke her weak grip on his wrist and with the same hand threw the tray to the other side of the room. The other loonies screeched and scrambled away, knocking over chairs and the small excuses for what they use as tables.

"You're the fucking problem you stupid horse fucker! You just don't get any hints that we don't want anything to do with your ugly whorish face."

She looked truly horrified and Shirosaki took a step closer, his grin stretching ear to ear as he heard the desk nurse call for security. He slapped across the face and the strength of it forced her to fall to the floor. She squealed just like a stupid fat sow.

He cackled and walked towards her, relishing in her whimpering and the tears of horror trailing down her cheeks. He stomped, hard, on her manicured hands – savouring her pain filled screams – before he proceeded to kick her in the stomach, which resulted in more screaming (from the Bitch and the other loonies) and him to break out into loud screeching laughter.

He continued laughing insanely as security tackled him to the ground, as they forced him into the strait jacket and dragged him across the floor towards the padded room. He grinned as they threw him onto the spongy white padded room and shut the door with a loud clang!

Darkness enshrouded him and he laughed, long and loud. That was totally, fucking worth it!

He leaned against the soft, spongy wall, his eyes shut and a lazy smile on his face. He sung in a slow, deep voice.

"Happy Birthday to you."

Some of the loonies were whimpering and crying, begging him to stop but he didn't. He was in control so he would do whatever the fuck he wanted.

"Happy birthday to you."

More of them cried, some of them yelled while some of them were banging their heads against their beds, walls, floors and doors.

"Happy birthday dear…
Oh, I forgot your name…"

He needn't wait long. The door to his 'special' room was ripped open and an angry security guard yelled, "Shut up!" before he slammed it close and told the same thing to the moaning and crying loonies.

"Oh, thanks.
Happy birthday dear Shuddup,
Happy birthday to you!"

The whole block was crazy. Crying, screaming, moaning, sobbing and things getting hit were heard. Shirosaki smirked, pleased with his work, he threw his head back and laughed, gleefully.

Tensa felt sore and stiff. He wanted to get out of here, away from the dark where the only light came from a small window on the door that looked just like the wall. He was tired of being bored and being stuck in the small, padded, white, spongy room.

He sighed and hung his head. "Let me out! I'm not crazy anymore! Shirosaki got tired and bored! Let me out!"

It was quiet; no one answered him. He huffed and tried again and it yielded in the same result. Maybe they forgot he was here? Nah, that can't be true. From what Shirosaki bragged, they wouldn't forget about him; he'd caused too much trouble to be forgotten. What with the beat up of a nurse (Ugly Witch) and making a uproar by singing a birthday song, who could forget him?

So he had to wait and wait and wait. It was sooooo boring!

Zangetsu blinked awake and saw that he was still in the padded room that, big thanks to Shiro, they were stuck in. He sighed and got into a comfortable position (well, as comfortable as you can get since the strait jacket was anything but comfortable) and fell asleep and retreated back into the inner world. Ichigo had had enough rest and it was time he was given back control.

Ichigo Kurosaki stepped out of the padded room and he was let out of the strait jacket. He rolled his shoulders and stretched, and he was showed to his room. They told him he was not allowed to go to the socializing room just yet due to the mess he (meaning Shirosaki) had caused. They also told him that the nurse he hated had resigned.

Aw well, with her gone the place would finally be bearable at least. He picked at his sleeve and realised that he had missed four days; four days he thankfully didn't remember. Just two more days till his family visited him. He couldn't wait.

Just one more day. He would see them tomorrow! Finally some sane people in a place full of insane people.
