1Hey guys! I'm back, and have a sequel for Rain Coat, which had reviews begging for a sequel so here it is! It will be about 2-3 chapters long, so it will be twice the IchiRuki! Although Orihime and Riruka (spoiler character for those who have not seen the recent Bleach chapter) will be definitely trying to pry these two apart! So there will be some drama, just a little though. So enjoy!
Romeo and Juliet
"Alright class, we'll be show casing a playwright written by the famous British author and poet, Shakespeare. The play is called Romeo and Juliet." Ms. Ochi declared. The class was groaning, they didn't want to participate in a stupid play, and they definitely didn't want to dress up.
"Come on now, no complaining. I already have your roles picked out for you, so no need to worry over auditions." she said. A few sighed with relief, while some just rolled their eyes, knowing they couldn't get out of this now.
"Sado, Chad. You will be curtain puller." Ms. Ochi began. Chad grunted in reply.
"Asano, Keigo, you're a squirrel." Keigo gaped. The class began laughing at his role.
"Arisawa, Tatsuki, you're the lights manager." Tatsuki nodded, thankful she didn't have to act.
"Ishida, Uryu, costume design." Uryu pushed his glasses up, happy with his role in the play.
"Kuchiki, Rukia, you're Juliet." Rukia blinked. All the guys wanted to become Romeo so bad now.
"Inoue, Orihime, you're the set manager." Orihime nodded, but inside was slightly disappointed that she didn't get the role of Juliet. If Kurosaki-kun is Romeo, I wouldn't know how to feel...that means that Kuchiki-san will have to... Orihime's heart clenched at that last part, she couldn't even say it in her head without feeling a pang of jealousy.
She would have to kiss Kurosaki-kun... After all the roles were spoken, there was one left Ms. Ochi left for the end, and that was the role for Romeo. All the guys who hadn't been giving roles yet were at the edge of their seats, waiting with anticipation.
"And the role for Romeo will be..." she glanced down at the sheet, and cleared her throat. "Kurosaki Ichigo." Ichigo, who wasn't paying attention, snapped from his daydream when he heard his name.
"Eh?" the class said all at once. Rukia blushed as she heard his name being called for the character that would be kissing hers. Some girls, (fangirls) cheered with themselves.
"Kyaa! That means we get to see Kurosaki-sama in a prince costume!" they all giggled blushing. Rukia glared at them, sending them away squealing. She put a hand under her chin and sighed. Her glance moved over to Ichigo who was confused as hell, because he wasn't paying attention. And unaware at the daggers Orihime was giving at her back.
At lunch...
"Kuchiki-san, do you want some of my red bean wasabi tuna sandwich?" Orihime asked cheerfully. Rukia gulped, and shook her head. Orihime turned to ask Ichigo the same thing, but a different hint in her eyes that only Rukia noticed. Rukia sighed and got out the juice box Yuzu packed for her. She frowned at it after a minute trying to look for the straw. Ichigo noticed her having trouble and sighed.
"Oi, Rukia, give me that stupid, let me help ya." he offered his hand. She ignored his insult because she was too distracted at being frustrated at the juice box. It only took him thirty seconds to find the straw, unwrap it, and stick it into the hole. He smirked and handed it back to her. She happily took it back, and then she began sipping it. But, then she blushed crimson when she noticed Ichigo being so nice and helpful to her. She forgot to say thank you, she felt guilty, so she decided to.
"Arigato..." she murmured. He barely heard, but smiled. Rukia blushed even redder, his smile was sweet and nice, nothing else in his eyes but soft truthful amber.
"No problem, anytime Rukia." he said softly. Orihime frowned. Kurosaki-kun should be talking like that to her, not that decided a plan, if she was going to get Ichigo to see her feelings for him, she had to get rid of Rukia, because Rukia was blocking Kurosaki-kun's view of Orihime's smiled to herself. This means war Kuchiki...
At Rehearsals...
"But Juliet, I love you so much, why won't you love me back?" Ichigo read on his script. They were practicing for the play, which would be airing in two days, and it was a public play, where everyone from Karakura could come and watch.
"Oh Romeo, why are you so persistent? Why can't you understand that I do love you, but I cannot return it for my father will kill you if I do, and I cannot allow that." she spoke shakily. She wasn't used to Ichigo using those three words constantly to her, and she felt like he was saying to her, not her character, and that made her face flush and her voice shaky.
"But that doesn't matter, so as long as I have you by my side. All I want is you Juliet, and I would even kill myself to protect you, no matter what the terror." he said. She felt so nostalgic about this line. She felt like that when Ichigo said the line that was close to this, when he was saving her from her execution.
While drifting off into the past, she was snapped out of it when Ms. Ochi called for a five minute break. She sighed, tired, and plopped down onto a nearby chair. Ms. Ochi called for all the lead characters to meet with her.
"Alright, I think it's time for costumes, Ishida-san, I expect much great work from you, so please dress our characters for dress-rehearsal please." Ms. Ochi asked Uryu, who was holding a large box. He pushed up his glasses.
"Of course Ms. Ochi, everyone, please come this way please." Uryu directed to the dressing rooms. They grab their designated costumes and began dressing. Rukia was the first to come out. Chizuru gasped when she saw her.
"OH! Rukia-chan, you're so adorable!" Rukia blushed and looked at a mirror. She was shocked at the precise designs, and the fabric was soft to perfection. She was wearing a rectangular shaped neck opening, revealing a little bit of her shoulders, and some of her chest. The shoulders were puffed up trailing down with a tight long sleeve that stopped at about her wrist. The long dress draped down to the floor, and a golden belt was placed above her hips and just below her chest. The red satin dress looked absolutely beautiful. Her breath caught though when Ichigo came out. All the girls began blushing madly. Even Ms. Ochi eyes widen slightly. He was wearing a long black coat with the collar and coat unbuttoned, with a white scarf loosely tied around his neck. The sleeves stopping at his wrist, and under the coat was a white crisp shirt that was made to only be buttoned up to his chest, revealing his well toned chest, and was hugging his curves. His brown trousers also hugged his slim legs tightly, and shiny black shoes finished everything. His hair was slightly longer after the war, and he kept it that way, so that was a bonus as well. Orihime could be seen salivating, but she contained herself. Rukia thought the casual look looked really good on Ichigo. She frowned though when girls began running over to him to compliment him.
"Ichigo..." she said softly. She was kind of jealous, she wasn't as pretty as most girls in Karakura High, so she didn't have a chance to compare. She was short, and flat as surfboard. No wonder Ichigo doesn't notice her.
"Hey Rukia," Ichigo said behind her. She jumped and smacked him on the arm.
"Baka! Don't scare me like that!" she yelled. He frowned, rubbing his arm.
"Sorry, just wanted to see if you were okay, you looked really gloomy all day." he said scratching the back of his neck. She felt her heart skip a beat. He was thinking about her this whole time, and she was worried he didn't notice her. Ichigo would never do that, and that's what made her heart flutter.
"Oh, I'm okay, no need to worry. Really." she assured him. He smiled relieved that she was okay. This action only caused Rukia to turn red.
He grabbed her arm. Rukia felt her heart soar.
"Let's get going, Ms. Ochi will yell at us if we don't get back soon." he said. She nodded. This is going to be one heck of a play...and I think I like it that way... she smiled to herself as she was dragged by Ichigo.
Phew! That felt like it took FOREVER to write. Who cares though? I'm hoping you guys really like it! Plz Review! ^_^
