The Ultimate Snowball Fight
Note: Hi everyone, I'll welcome all reviews, as long as they aren't too insulting. I'm just trying to write a little nd hav some fun. If you want, tell me what I should write about it, because I find it hard 2 think up intersting story ideas.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own bleach, even though i wish i did...
ps. I don't know if the seasons ever change in Soul Society, but I really wanted to write something about snow since it finally snowed in Shanghai!
Rukia, Ichigo, Chado, Ishida, Orhime were all spending their winter break in Soul Society, training to become more powerful. They were preparing for the battle against Aizen and the arrancers, some of whom had succeeded to escape during their rescue mission to Hueco Mundo along with their leader, Aizen. Well, at least Orihime had come back...the past ryoka were now well acquainted with the shinigami of the Gotei Thirteen. It was especially cold in Soul Society, and it looked like it just might snow (hint hint)...
"You know, I really think everyone deserves a break," said Ukitake to Kyoraku one night. Kyoraku was enjoying a cup of tea with his friend after such a difficult day. First there was all the paperwork, then he had realized that he had been writing the wrong thing the whole time, which called for another four painful hours of paperwork...this was definitely one of the downsides of being a shinigami.
"I have to agree," replied Kyoraku, "Everyone's stressing out, afraid that Aizen's coming to kill them all. Come to think of it, that really is a plausible reason to be nervous..." Kyoraku sighed. They should do something to take their mind off things...Everyone was getting jumpy and nervous, despite the fact that the training was going quite well. "We should do some kind of fun activity with everyone, just to lessen the tension that's been building up in everyone."
"That's a good idea..." It wasn't such a bad idea after all...Ukitake wanted to, just for one day, relax and forget about all of the worries which were piling up like the stack of paperwork on his desk.
"AHH! Why is there white stuff floating down from the sky outside?" As if to reassure himself that he wasn't crazy, he crept outside and looked at the roof. "Nanao-chan, you wouldn't have happened to have a change of heart would you? Are you trying to say you love me by pouring this white stuff down on us??" Ukikatake's thoughts were interrupted by Kyoraku, who was staring hopefully at the roof. But he soon returned, dissappointed and very confused. What was this white stuff floating down from? The sky? Well, that was a first. Ukitake smiled to hiimself, surprised by this sudden weather. There were little flurries of snow floating gently onto the ground, and there was more and more coming...Soon enough, the entire sky was filled with the white, pure snow that was silently floating down from the heavens.
"I can't believe it, this is the first time I've seen snow in Soul Soceity," chuckled a delighted Ukitake, who immediately turned solemn. "Then again, this is awful, it'll make my cough become even worse than it is right now...if it weren't for my sickness, I'd go out first thing tomorrow morning and engage in what those humans on Earth call a snowball fight ...You know, sometimes I really wish I could return to my childhood and--" Ukitake stopped short and stared at his friend, who was no longer listening, but asking excitedly what exactly a "snowball" fight was.
"Snowball fight...I've never heard of such a thing, but why don't you tell me about it..?" Oh, well I was once visiting Earth and I was curiously observing some people hurling this white stuff, which was packed into little balls of ice, at each other. I think they made the balls by packing the white stuff called snow together. They really looked like they were having fun, so I disguised myself and tried it out. That was one of the funnest things I'd ever done...Hey, Kyoraku, where are you going?? Hey, Kyora--" But it was too late, his friend was already striding away, muttering excitedly under his breath, his pink flowery jacket fluttering in the wind...
"Maybe it was a bad idea to tell him about that...?" wondered Ukitake. He had no idea that tomorrow he would be frantically dodging random snowballs flying his way, cursing himself for even mentioning his snowball experience.
Author's note: well, you guys, it's just an intro, so it might be really boring...sorry bout that, but i felt if i didn't write it, it would make the story sound really rushed and all that. Now I'll start writing about each individual person's experience of snow in Soul society. I hope you'll enjoy it more now that I've gotten through the boring stuff.
I'll write about one or two different people per chapter, but please review first. I don't know if i should continue, but if it's bad i think i'll just delete and try something else...
