% That can have so many naughty connotations.

Bleach is the creation and property of Tite Kubo.

They say the outer districts of Soul Society's Rukongai are terrible, 
especially on children. Whoever 'they' are Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't 
figure out, but he supposed 'they' were right, especially if 'they' had 
been speaking about Inuzuri's seventy-eighth. It was especially tough on 
the feet, and the legs, and the lungs, and even the ears.

"You little 
rat!" That was the man behind Ichigo, chasing him. He had a big stick, 
which Ichigo felt to be perhaps

"Even if you give up now, 
I'm gonna kill ya'!" Well, felt Ichigo, that was perhaps the best reason 
he couldn't stop running now.

Why was he running from the man in the first place though? 

place, though

The reason 
was in what Ichigo was holding close to his chest so he wouldn't drop 
it. A small bag filled with apples,

Ryuk would love some.

Oh, wait wrong series for shinigami.

Hmm. Death Note/Bleach fusion with Ichigo trying to wipe out Hollows by 
learning their names and writing them down?

Nahh. Wouldn't work.

which was one of many that the old 
man behind him had been selling at outrageous prices that nobody in the 
alley could even think about affording. Since he couldn't pay for the 
apples, Ichigo had decided to just take 'em when the old man was 
distracted. However, the distraction must've been preoccupied with 
something else at the time

cut 'else...time.' not needed

He did enjoy

He enjoyed works better.

Collapsing against alley wall, sliding down onto his butt, Ichigo 
couldn't help but look up to the sky that was in turn peeking down 
between the two buildings at Ichigo. 

Argh! So wordy. A lot of this stuff can be trimmed down and still have 
flow and flavor.

The road... was a dangerous place, knew Ichigo. Well, anywhere outside 
of the city was terrible for the unprepared, and for the prepared too. 
This was because of the law of the strongest. The weakest were pushed 
out of the city, and away from the tentative order of the 
seventy-seventh, people became... desperate. Perhaps crazy. And this was 
in comparison to the city, which was always on the brink of chaos.

Well, felt Ichigo. It was a nice dream anyway. Maybe it'd come true one day.
 

% Hmm. Interesting. Don't read much Bleach, though familiar with the 
anime. In any case, nice job.
