Shirosaki is a problem child. He has an attitude problem and is quite rebellious. His tongue ring is the proof of that. Shirosaki used to vandalize until he was arrested and sent to live with a guardian since the police thought the orphanage wasn't working out. All the psychiatrists blame Shirosaki's problems on his lack of parents and several mental dysfunctions. Shirosaki should be taking tons of meds for his "problems" but he thinks he's just fine and has flushed them all down the toilet.

Shirosaki was never one to like school. All the teachers hated him, he didn't understand what to do on his homework, and he usually copied the sucker next to him on tests. Shirosaki was a teachers nightmare. There was only two things that kept him from skipping class everyday. One of those things was lunch, He loved picking on others and hanging with his buds during lunch. The second thing was his friends, he wasn't allowed to hang with anyone after school due to his asshole of a guardian Zangetsu.

It was during Literature, and Shirosaki Could not sit still. He was trying to get a good look at the new kids face. He wanted to decide if this kid was worthy of his torture. Friendship was already out of the question, he was already caught by the popular group. His name is Ichigo Kurosaki. Shirosaki couldn't get a good look though, well not without getting yelled at by the teacher. Then Shirosaki decided he was going to pick on this kid anyway.

Shirosaki thinks this to himself

After class Shirosaki saw the new kid, obviously nobody warned him of Shirosaki or his friends cause he was casually walking down the hall acting as if nothing could hurt him. He would find out he was wrong very soon. Shirosaki walked by Ichigo pushing him into the lockers and knocking his books from his hands. Shirosaki walks away laughing at the others misfortune.

Shirosaki expected the kid to at least call him a name or something but he didn't he just crouched down and picked up his books. This made Shirosaki mad. This was someone that Shirosaki didn't upset on his first try. In his rage he ended up pushing a geek into a trash can and picking on a midget with the whole arm on forehead can't reach me thing. He didn't realize that he was being tested.

Through that day he did almost everything to Ichigo, from destroying his homework to beating the guy up. Nothing worked on this guy, the guy just would not break. And each time he did not break Shirosaki got frustrated and picked on someone else.

After school he walked home like usual but was stopped. It was the Ichigo kid. There was a look of determination in his eyes. The look almost scared him.

"wut do ya want?" Shirosaki asks in a semi rude tone.

"I've been testing you Shirosaki." Ichigo states then continues, " your insecure about yourself and you hurt others to ease your pain. But when your torture doesn't work it pains you more and you must hurt more people to make you feel better."

"How do ya get off like that?!" Shirosaki suddenly yells at Ichigo. "Ya think ya know what makes me tick? Well yer wrong, got that?! I hurt others cuz I can, not the make myself fucking feel better!"

"Are you sure about that Shirosaki?" Ichigo responds.

The way Ichigo stated his name was almost taunting and really pissed Shirosaki off. It almost was like Ichigo was taunting him, Asking for a fight, but this could be a trap. What if a cop was waiting around the corner…. Then Shirosaki thought what if this guy was being paid by his guardian so that his guardian would know what he did at school?

Shirosaki did not respond to Ichigo's question, as a matter of fact it almost felt like he was gonna break. In truth Ichigo struck the nail right on the head. He hurt inside and others pain slightly remedied that pain he had inside. He wasn't about to reveal this to Ichigo though. Shirosaki wanted to beat Ichigo's head into the cement leaving it unrecognizable.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Ichigo asked sweetly.

"FUCK OFF!" Shirosaki yelled closing his eyes hiding his almost uncovered weakness he felt as though he was going to explode. Shirosaki's hands curled to fists.

Shirosaki was about to turn and run the other way when suddenly he felt arms around him. He looks up in surprise to see Ichigo hugging him. The warm feeling from the embrace almost made Shirosaki happy. This was one feeling Shirosaki highly disliked.

Shirosaki was appalled by Ichigo's actions. Anger welled up inside of him and he couldn't hold it anymore. Shirosaki pushed Ichigo away then hit him in the stomach. Shirosaki's hit was very powerful and actually made Ichigo crumple to the ground. When this happened he ran. Shirosaki ran home not caring that he would be bawled out by Zangetsu for being late.

He arrived at home to see Zangetsu wasn't even there. this was strange Zangetsu was always home. Shirosaki looked around, he searched for something perhaps a note or message. Shirosaki decided Zangetsu must be working.

After Shirosaki came to the conclusion of Zangetsu working he locked the door and went into his bedroom and laid down to think. He thought about his past and how it has hardened him. He thought about his hatred for happiness.
