Unlikely endeavor
Chapter 1. Catching the moon.
Author note below.
Ichigo looked around to see if anyone was there. Releasing a breath he didn't even know he was holding, he saw that there's no one there. But he knew this was likely a trap. He didn't intend to return to work today because he has some personal stuff to take care of. But he certainly wasn't telling his boss that. On the mention of his boss he shuddered. In his life as a shinigami and as a human he has seen some scary womans but no one can hold a candle to his boss in terms of craziness. She is on a whole different level than anyone he has ever met. And by Gods he didn't want to be reminded how she so easily manhandled him. Pushing the unpleasant memories aside he stepped towards the rear gate of the school since he figured it'd less crowded and perfect for slipping away but he wasn't prepared for the scene that unfolded right in front of him. Lo and behold there she was standing in her trademark clothes, a dark colored cap, a full sleeve t-shirt and a dark trousers. Leaning on the side of the van and smirking at him.
"Where are your going? Ichigo-chan?" She said in that sickly sweet voice that she used on her son when she was consoling him but Ichigo wasn't fooled.
"Umm... You see Ikumi-san i was coming to your store to help you out..." Even in his ear that sounded halfhearted, he started praying to all the deities he knew to make her believe his blatant lie
Ikumi wasn't convinced in the least, she narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him and felt satisfied as she saw him gulp. " oh, you were coming to the store... Is that right?" She said airily and for a brief second Ichigo thought that sounded too much like that bastard Hat and clogs for comfort, shaking his head up and down as the universal gesture of "yes" he gave her his earnest look as if to try and convince her of his innocence.
Ikumi thought of giving the kid a break and gestured him to come closer to the van, when he looked hesitant she sighed, "come on Ichigo-chan if you're returning to the store it'll be faster if we go by the van" she stood there waiting for him to come closer
The cogs inside Ichigo's brain was working at a furious rate, trying to find him a way out of this situation. Finally one scenario seemed positive enough that decided to act upon it. Slowly moving towards the passenger seat of the van he said "yes Ikumi-san let's return to the store" he smirked inside his head as he saw her relaxing and moving towards the driver seat. As soon as she opened the door he bolted in the opposite direction at breakneck speed, leaving the baffled Ikumi behind. Once he was out of her range he slowed down a bit and he could hear her battle cries and promises of his demise. He shuddered at the thought of what she'd do once he decided to return. "She'll eat me alive and spit me whole" but he decided not to dwell on that too long because of something more important lies ahead m. A sudden gloom took him over, he thought "would I be able to face her this time?"
AN/ Hey guys! Syborg here! This is my first Fanfiction story, so go easy on me. As for the story itself, it'll be Ichigo x Ikumi. Because let's face it there's no better pairing and if you're reading this then I'm sure we're in agreement. This story takes place after FKT but I've decided not to include Fullbring arc. The story will mainly revolve around Ichigo and Ikumi but other characters will not be ignored and will get their proper screen time. Review and let me know where can I improve.
Syborg signing out.
