Angel of Music
A young angel soaked her feet in a river.
She was indeed beautiful. Long raven-black hair that was soft as silk, and deep purple eyes that held so much innocents in them. Her curves were complimented by the flowing white gown she wore and the white wings on her back were folded neatly behind her. She sighed and looked down at the water.
I leave tomorrow for the human world. I feel so sad, but I must so they can keep on living.
As she was musing, she didn't notice the figure coming up from behind her until it grabbed her sides and began to tickle her. The young angel squeaked and found herself giggling uncontrollably.
The figure turned out to be a boy with dark reddish hair with equally beautiful wings.
"Man, Momo you should check your surroundings before you go into deep thought like that." The boy teased.
The young angel named Momo, playfully smacked the boy and pouted. "No fair Renji, you caught me by surprise."
The boy angel known as Renji, rolled his eyes, but sat down next to Momo.
"So I hear you're leaving tomorrow for the human world?" Renji asked, deciding to change the subject.
Momo nodded. "Yeah, they thought it was time I begin my duties as a full-fledged angel." Momo replied.
Renji groaned. "Lucky, I still have to wait until I get off grounding until I can resume training."
Momo rolled her eyes but giggled softly.
"Well that's what happens when you eat fruit from the tree of secrecy." She scolded playfully. Renji shrugged but couldn't help but grin.
"It was tasty though."
The both went into laughter. After it died down they both sat there in silence. Finally Renji broke the silence.
"You know me and Kira are going to miss you." Renji noted softly.
Momo smiled sadly at her friend.
"Yeah." she whispered.
Renji put his arm around her shoulder and gave her a hug.
"Don't worry, we won't get killed while you're away." Renji joked half-heartily.
Momo smiled at her friend and stood up.
"Well I have to pack for my trip to the human world, make sure you and Kira behave." Momo teased.
Renji pouted. "Hey you sound like you don't have any faith in us."
Momo rose an eyebrow at him.
Renji grinned. "Right, see you at dinner."
With that last comment, Momo left.
It was dinner time and all the angels sat along the long wooden tables and said grace before they started to eat. Momo sat beside her friends, chatting happily with them.
"So do you know who else is coming down with you?" Questioned her friend Kira.
Momo nodded.
"Only one, her name is Rukia. All I know about her is she's really powerful."
Renji grinned. "Well, I guess that means you're also powerful." he added proudly.
Momo's face flushed. "Oh no! I'm sure I'm just a normal angel."
Renji rolled his eyes. After that the three ate in silence and soon returned to their rooms.
When Momo entered her room she headed for the bathroom and groomed her hair and wings. When she finished she contracted her wings and they disappeared leaving her back bare. She filled her bath, when it was warm enough she stripped down and stepped in. She floated there for a while just thinking about her move to the human world.
Will it be different?
Or will it be about the same?
Will she like it?
Will she make friends?
All these questions bobbed around in her head and just sat there in her head to bother her.
Momo shook her head.
No. She will not get negative. When she finished her soak, she drained the water and stepped out and pulled a towel around her body. When she finished drying, she slipped into a white nightgown and got on her sleeping pallet. When she laid down, she instantly fell into a dream about the human world, with the thought; What will it be like?
While our little angel dreams, we shall take you into the world of the humans.
A boy sat in a wooden desk staring out the window next to him towards the sky.
I can't believe they put me in this class. The boy thought grumpily as he gazed up at the sky.
Someone tapping him on the shoulder and he turned to see a girl standing there with a bunch of boys behind her.
"Hey Toshiro, we're going to play some soccer. Want to join us?" She asked.
Toshiro shook his head. "No thanks Karin, I'm just going to stay here and read." the boy replied bluntly.
The girl rolled her eyes.
"Toshiro, you are sometimes too smart for your own good." she muttered as the group of boys followed her out of the classroom.
Toshiro watched them leave and he sighed turning back to the window.
I wonder how it feels to play? Toshiro wondered silently as he watched his best friend and her other friends kick the ball around and grinning like they're having a good time.
Toshiro pushed that thought out of his mind and opened his bag to take out some paperwork. Being the Toshiro Hitsugaya he was, he joined one of the elite high school organizations; Soul Society. Even for his age, he was smarter then most of the teens twice his age, thus earning him a spot as one of the organizers of the organization. But along with this he got a co-organizer, who was probably the most laziest person he had ever met, Rangiku Matsumoto. Even as a senior, she dislikes doing work and rather go shopping and God-knows-what else and leaves him to do BOTH of their paperwork. Even though it always irritates him A LOT, he found them bonding and soon becoming friends.
As Toshiro was doing his (and Rangiku's) paperwork, he let his eyes wander to the window. He looked out to the front court yard to see three figures passing the gates of the school. He squinted to see that one was fairly taller then the other two, but couldn't quite see their faces.
He shook his head. Probably just some delinquents skipping school.
With that he went back to his work. "Dammit, I have detention duty tomorrow with Rangiku." Toshiro groaned as he went through the remaining papers. Despite his work, Toshiro felt strangely drawn to want to know the figures in the window.
Now let's return to the angels, who have already reached the human world.
Momo felt so strange, walking in a world like this. She saw strange machines passing by on the streets and even stranger people passing in odd clothing.
All though while the two angels with her made her feel a little less scared knowing that she wasn't the only one of her kind here, she still felt a little strange.
Rukia Kuchiki and her brother Byakuya Kuchiki.
Rukia was the other angel who was allowed on Earth just like Momo, while Byakuya was one of the high priest angels who escorted them to the human world. After they landed in this small town, they set off for the building that the two angels would be staying in. On their way to the building they passed places that Byakuya told them to either study and learn more about or to never enter and avoid as much as possible.
After an hour, they came to a large building with double doors at the front entrance and lots of windows. Through the gates that circled the building, Momo could see young humans laughing, running, and chatting away happily.
"That is the school that you will intend. Make sure you don't over exceed in everything, or that will draw attention to you two." The girls nodded.
Momo looked at the school in amazement and wonder. As they passed the school, Momo could have sworn that she felt eyes on them…
When the two entered the tall fancy building they were going to be staying in, Byakuya said that his job is done and must return to the High Priest Society. The girls bowed to him as he left. When he was out of sight the girls turned to the lady at the front desk, got their keys and entered the elevator.
When they reached the top floor, they found only one door and put the key into the slot. They opened the door to the pent house and found it quite large. The kitchen was right next to the door and the living room was set up with a large T.V, couches, and a lounge chair. To the right they saw a hall that held three doors. There was also a large sitting area on the balcony, complete with a pool and lounge chairs by the pool. Pretty much; the angels had no limits when it came to money on Earth. The girls carried their bags down the hall to the last two rooms down the hall to put their stuff away. Rukia wished Momo good night and entered her room. It was pretty simple but elegant. An oak dresser, an entertainment center, a lamp, and one king sized bed. Momo opened her bags and snapped her stuff into the dresser. In one small pop, her stuff was put away. Momo yawned.
I must go to sleep, so I can be ready for tomorrow.
Momo pulled out her night gown, slipped it on, and climbed into the bed. With in minutes she was out.
The next morning was a Saturday and Momo woke up at 6:00 A.M. and went out to check out the town.
When Momo left the penthouse and ventured out into the busy streets, (Yes even for 6:00 A.M.) she noticed that most of them were adults and very few children. She guessed the time and decided to go back to that school Byakuya showed them.
When Momo reached the school, she could see that it was open. Being the curious angel she was, she went in.
When Momo entered, there was a few kids in there, although they looked a lot more tired then her at the moment. She walked around the halls absentmindedly until a lady came down the hall.
"You Ms. Why aren't you in class?" The lady asked in annoyance.
Momo gave the lady a confused look.
"Excuse me?" Momo asked innocently.
The lady scowled. "Don't play stupid, why aren't you in detention like the other students here?"
The gears in Momo's head started to turn.
"Oh! Oh, I'm sorry! I don't go to this school. At least not until I register." Momo replied hastily.
The crease in the lady's forehead softened and soon she grinned.
"Oops! My bad! I guess I should have guessed by way you look." The lady commented.
Momo gave her a confused look.
"What do you mean?" Momo questioned.
The lady rolled her eyes. "The way your clothes look, too elegant."
Momo looked at her clothes.
A pair of black dress pants with a white button up blouse and a black vest over it. Her hair was put in a messy high ponytail but made her look more professional and black slip on shoes graced her feet.
Momo blushed.
"Sorry I trespassed, I'll leave-" The lady cut her off with a shack of her head.
"Nah! You can stay, why don't you came with me? I can give the whole tour!"
Momo looked at the lady. She seemed nice, so Momo nodded.
The lady grinned. "Great! My name is Rangiku Matsumoto! I'm a senior at the high school. I help out with Saturday detention because my school organization does these things." Rangiku explained.
Momo smiled and held out her hand. "That's nice, my name is Momo Hinamori." Momo introduced.
Rangiku shook Momo's hand and grinned. "So let's get this tour on the way!"
With those words Momo found herself being dragged around by Rangiku.
When Rangiku finished the tour she lead her into a classroom with a couple kids sitting there either sleeping, reading, doing work, or messing around.
"This is the detention group I have to watch over." Rangiku explained as she took a seat at the large desk in the front of the class.
"Which you're not doing a very good job on." Came a smart remark.
Momo and Rangiku turned to see a boy with silver hair and Aquamarine eyes glaring over at them.
Rangiku just waved him off. "Chill out Captain. It's not like I left the school, I was just giving this girl the tour around the school."
The boy turned to Momo, who was observing him for a while.
"What?" He asked harshly, obviously annoyed.
Momo bowed her head in embarrassment.
"My apologies for distracting your subordinate. I was just ready to leave." The boy's eyes showed surprise, obviously not suspecting an apology.
Momo continued.
"I'm just new to this town and I was just checking out the school I was going to intend."
The boy cut in.
"Wait, you're just here to check out the school?" He questioned.
"Well I was planning to also register my friend and I into school, but I feel that there is no need for me to do that."
The boy rose an eyebrow. "Why is that?" he asked.
Momo smiled. "Because she's coming this way. The boy turned his head to see another girl coming down the hall.
"Hello Rukia." Momo greeted.
Rukia bowed to Momo. "Good morning to you Momo, I just registered us so we can return home." Rukia replied.
Momo nodded and started out of the classroom. "Hey Momo! Why don't you and your friend join me and a few friends tomorrow? We can hang out!" Rangiku called out.
Momo turned to Rakia. Rukia smiled and nodded.
Momo smiled brightly back at Rangiku.
"We would love to! Just meet us at this address and ask for Apr. 57." Momo replied as she quickly scribbled down the address, tossed it to Rangiku and quickly headed out of the school with Rukia.
When the two were out of seeing distance of the school, Momo spoke.
"This will be a fun year."
Rukia giggled in agreement.
As those two explored the town, let's go back to the school with Rangiku and her captain.
Toshiro watched as the two girls left the building. His heart felt like it was running twice as fast then normal when she turned to him. Her deep violet eyes could make a man drown just by staring into them. They held such innocents and he felt his face heat up by the look she gave him. Being confused by the feeling he was experiencing, he snapped at her and he was beyond words when she spoke to him. Her voice sounded like wind chimes and soft bells combined in the wind. Toshiro felt someone shacking his shoulder and bring him back to reality.
He looked up to see Rangiku smirking down at him.
"What?" He growled back in annoyance.
She giggled. "Nothing, it just seems that you were pretty surprised when Momo replied." Rangiku pointed out.
Toshiro guessed that Momo was the name of the girl that spoke to him. "Well I never heard many girls around here using such formal speaking." Toshiro replied bluntly but the blush seemed to only intensify.
But the smirk never left Rangiku's face.
"Okay Captain whatever you say…." Rangiku trailed off in a sing-song voice.
Before Toshiro could reply, Rangiku had shoved him out of the classroom and closed the door in his face. Toshiro sighed and rubbed his temples out of frustration.
Might as well get going, nothing to do here. He mused silently.
Just as he was about to leave Rangiku popped up out of no where and startled him.
"Oh Captain! Can you come with me to pick the two up, you know I don't do well with directions."
Before Toshiro could even utter a answer she already stuffed the piece of paper into his hand and closed the door in his face again.
He looked down at the piece of folded paper as if it might do a trick if he kept on watching.
He cursed under his breath and stuffed the paper into his jean's pocket.
That women is testing my patience everyday. Toshiro thought bitterly as he left the school grounds.
When he returned to the small apartment he shared with some of his friends, he decided to check out the address on the paper. He retrieved the paper from his pocket and opened it. It Read:
1776 Drakewood Avenue Apartment 57.
Toshiro was surprised by how elegant she managed to write at the speed she wrote it at. Toshiro entered his room and turned on the computer he had in there on. When it was on, he searched the address and clicked it. A picture came up on the screen of a very tall building with. Toshiro gaped at the screen. He knew that only people who had decent jobs or were loaded with money could afford to live in this building for he knew one of his classmates lives there. He turned off the computer and headed into the kitchen.
He took a seat at the table and pulled out his paperwork.
Some things may never change. He thought bitterly as he continued to add his signature to each paper.
Suddenly he heard the front door open and heard the stomping feet of his roommates.
"Hey Toshiro." Greeted Ichigo as he entered the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to start dinner.
Toshiro mutter something across the lines, "It's captain Hitsugaya." and "Dumbass."
Another boy entered the kitchen and took a seat across from Toshiro.
"See you're still doing your paperwork." stated the boy, Ishida Uryu.
"No, I'm doing RANGIKU'S PAPERWORK!" Toshiro growled back angrily.
The boys in the other room chuckled.
My day can't get more worse then it has already. Toshiro thought, trying to find the positive thing in today.
"Hey Toshiro, what's this piece of paper?" Questioned Ulquiorra bluntly holding up the piece of paper with Momo's address on it.
When ever I say nothing couldn't get any worse, the universe always goes out of its way to prove me wrong. Toshiro thought angrily as he tried to grab the piece of paper away from the green eyed boy, but failed.
Ulquiorra opened it and read out loud. "1776 Drakewood Avenue, Apartment 57. Why do you have an address?" The boy questioned.
Toshiro lowered his head in defeat. "Rangiku is forcing me to pick up two of her friends for her and that's their address." Toshiro muttered.
Ichigo laughed. "Man, even for a vice-captain she can sure boss you around!"
Toshiro glared at the boy icily. "Shut up." Was all Toshiro replied as he gathered up all his stuff and stormed off to his room.
After finishing all the paperwork Toshiro entered the kitchen to find something to eat. He settled for leftover pizza and a slice of (you guessed it) watermelon. As he ate he looked over the piece of paper with the address on it.
Do those girls really live there? They don't look like the kind of girls to play a cruel joke on Rangiku. Toshiro mused silently.
Toshiro pushed those ideas out of his head and quickly finished his dinner and reentered his room.
When he finished brushing his teeth, he changed into a pair of sweatpants and climbed into bed and soon falling asleep.
The next morning, Toshiro found himself being dragged out of his bed by Rangiku.
"Come on Toshiro, time to go pick up Momo and Rukia!" Rangiku proclaimed happily.
"How did you get in here?" Toshiro growled as he pulled Rangiku off of him and went back to his room to change.
"Ichigo let me in. And he said he'll come too!" Rangiku exclaimed happily.
Toshiro came out in black jeans and a black and white T-shirt. (Like what he wore in the episode with Karin)
Ichigo came in from the dining hall wearing a red and white print T-shirt with blue faded jeans.
"No I didn't. You forced me to say yes….." Ichigo grumbled as he made his way out the front door.
Toshiro smirked at his back and grudgingly followed Ichigo and Rangiku out the door.
When they reached the address of the building, (Rangiku had a car of course) they entered the main lobby and went up to the front office.
"Excuse us we're here to pick up two girls who live in apartment 57?" asked Toshiro.
The lady nodded. "Yes they called down here about that, you may go up."
The three nodded to the lady and entered the elevator.
When the elevator stopped, it was on the top floor.
"Man, their family must be loaded to live here." Rangiku exclaimed as she looked out the window.
Toshiro rolled his eyes.
"Come on, let's just get them and go."
Rangiku grinned. "Sorry, I have to go start the car. Just wait here and get them for me, would ya?"
Before Ichigo or Toshiro could reply Rangiku was already in the elevator.
"I think it's best to say that she is a lazy ass even with her own promises." Toshiro grumbled as he knocked on the door.
With in two seconds later, the door opened.
"Hello?" questioned the girl.
There stood the girl known Rukia in a big baggy T-shirt and short shorts, looking completely opposite from what she was yesterday. From the corner of Toshiro's eye, he could see Ichigo's face heat up.
"Hello, we were sent by Rangiku to come pick you and your friend up." Toshiro explained trying his best not to crack up at his roommate's face. (PRICELESS! :P)
Rukia nodded her head and turned her head. "MOMO COME HERE!" She screamed back through the door.
Soon enough Toshiro felt his face heat up when Momo entered his view.
Short shorts.
Form fitting tank top.
Messy hair.
Yup. Just what Toshiro wanted to see that morning. (Sarcasm to those who are stupid or do to not elaborate)
She saw Toshiro and Ichigo at the door and smiled.
"Oh hello, nice to see you again! Did Rangiku send you?" Toshiro nodded dumbly.
Momo nodded and beckoned them in.
"You can take a seat while we go change." Momo explained kindly as she pointed towards the living room.
Toshiro nodded and dragged Ichigo into the apartment. The girls turned and made their ways down the hall and entered the last two doors.
"Smooth move." Toshiro commented calmly, but couldn't hide the smirk that snaked it's way onto his face.
Ichigo's face flushed. "What about you? You almost looked like a tomato when Momo appeared." Ichigo hissed back.
Toshiro's smirk flew off his face and replaced with a blush that resembled a fire-truck red.
"Now you shut up." muttered Ichigo as he sat back in his seat.
After a few seconds, they heard a door click open.
The boys turned to see Rukia entering the room. She had her hair up in a ponytail with a few strands falling out to frame her face, blue capris with a simple black tank top on.
Ichigo's posture stiffened when he realized what she was wearing.
Rukia bowed to them.
"Sorry to make you wait. We weren't expecting you to show up so early." Rukia explained.
"Neither did we." Toshiro muttered darkly under his breath.
Soon enough, the boys and Rukia heard footsteps coming their way.
"Sorry it took me so long." Momo apologized.
Toshiro, for that moment, forgot how to breathe.
Momo wore a pair of black jeans, a form fitting T-shirt, and a pair of hoop earrings. Her hair was pulled into a high bun with bangs.
"Well now that we're ready to leave, let's get going." Ichigo muttered as he made his way out the door.
The girls followed the boys down the hall and entered the elevator.
Rangiku I swear, I will kill you for this. Ichigo and Toshiro thought simultaneously as the elevator closed.
When the group made it back to the car, they saw Rangiku grin.
"Hey! Good for you all to show up!" Toshiro and Ichigo sent Rangiku glares but she just waved them off.
"Well better late then never, let's get going." The girls opened the car door and got in followed by the Toshiro, since Ichigo sat in the front and drove off.
When the car stopped they were in front of a restaurant.
"Ulquiorra got to choose the place today." Rangiku pointed out as she got out of the car; Toshiro, Ichigo, and the girls soon followed.
When they entered the restaurant, Rangiku and the boys easily spotted their friends.
"Follow us." Toshiro muttered as Ishida waved over to them.
When the reached the table, the group took their seats. (Ichigo, Rukia, Momo, Toshiro, Rangiku, Chad, Ulquiorra, and Ishida in that order in clockwise motion)
"So who are these two?" questioned Ishida politely.
Rangiku grinned.
"These two are Rukia and Momo." She introduced happily.
Ulquiorra suddenly turned his head away from the group and stared at his lap.
"What is it?" Ishida questioned Ulquiorra. From the corner of Ulquiorra's eye, he sees the waitress coming their way.
She had long orange hair and deep hazel eyes along with a flawless smile. Rangiku grinned at the girl.
"Orihime! I didn't know you worked here? We've been coming to this place for a while now and never saw you!" Rangiku exclaimed.
Orihime rubbed the back of her neck nervously.
"Well I used to be on the night shift, but they changed my hours so now I work after school." Orihime explained.
Rukia sent Orihime a strange look, which Ichigo saw.
Toshiro cleared his throat. "So are we going to order or are we just going to sit around?"
Judging by the sudden growl emitting from Chad's stomach, they thought it was best to order.
When Orihime finished taking their order she was about to go give the order to the chefs until she was stopped by Rukia.
The guys watched as Orihime turned back to Rukia in surprise.
"Vous êtes un ange. Je suis correct?"
Rukia seemed to questioning Orihime by the tone of her voice.
The guys didn't understand what Rukia was saying, but it seemed like Momo knew what they were saying. Orihime shot Rukia a surprised look but quickly sighed and nodded.
Rukia smiled and nodded in approval.
"Bon je voulais simplement vous assurer." Rukia continued.
Orihime looked at the ground and replied, "J'espère que je fais mon droit de travail."
Rukia nodded her head.
"Vous faites bien. Après tout comme un ange de l'amour, vous le savez relations mieux ensuite toute autre ange là-bas." Rukia countered grinning.
Orihime smiled back at her and glanced at Momo.
"Vous êtes Momo Hinamori, l'Ange de la musique, droit ?" Orihime questioned Momo.
Momo grinned at her and nodded her head. The guys caught a few phrases from their chat, but still didn't quite understand.
Orihime, finally noticing that the boys were still there, looked down at the ground in embarrassment.
"Sorry, I should probably get this to the chef."
With that Orihime ran off towards the kitchen.
"Au revoir!" Rukia called as Orihime disappeared from view.
"Okay what was that all about?" Ichigo questioned as Rukia reseated herself.
"Nothing important." Was Rukia's reply.
"Well it seemed important if you decided to speak in a different language so we couldn't understand it. What was that language?" Toshiro commented as he leaned back in his chair.
"French." The group turned to Rangiku, who just joined the conversation.
"How did you know?" Ishida questioned in surprised that Rangiku could understand.
She rolled her eyes and sat back in her chair.
"Well if you taken French for the past 4 years of high school, I guess I would pick up something." Rangiku replied coolly.
The guys knew Rangiku took French, but they didn't actually think she listened in class.
Rangiku turned to Momo and Rukia, who now look slightly nervous and fearful.
"Je voudrais un mot avec vous deux." Rangiku spoke in a serious tone.
The girls looked down in their seats in nervousness.
"Would you girls just speak English?" Ichigo demanded out of irritation.
Rukia turned to him and sent him a smirk.
Ichigo could feel his face start to heat up.
"Mais c'est la plaisir de vous obtenir irrité. Plus votre visage est tellement chaud lorsque votre folle." Rukia replied in a seductive tone.
Her voice sent shivers up Ichigo's spine and he had to bite his lip to keep a growl from coming out of his mouth.
He hid his reactions from her by glaring at her.
"Quit it, midget." he snapped back.
Ouch. Yep he went for the low blow. (No pun intended)
Her face went from a grin to a scowl in seconds and it sent another shiver up his spine.
"What did you call me?" She practically growled back.
Ichigo could have been smart and apologized to her, but he decided he wanted to see how far he could push until she goes over the edge.
"What? You can't hear too? Man and they say short people live longer then taller people. But with those difficulties you will be lucky to even make it past 30." Ichigo retorted.
Man if looks could kill; Ichigo would be dead with the look Rukia was sending him.
He could tell she was about to retort, but suddenly stopped herself.
She paused for a second then turned back to Momo with a smile. (You know those kind of smiles. The smile of DOOM)
"Momo, je vais aller chercher de prendre l'air. Je retournerai dans une minute."
By the nervous look on Momo's face, Ichigo could instantly tell that he took it one step too far.
When Rukia stood up from her seat, she turned to Ichigo with a smirk.
"Lorsque je suis avec vous par le biais, vous aurez mendiant de miséricorde. Vous avez cette Kurosaki de Ichigo?"
The way she pronounced his name in that accent nearly drove him to apologize, but he held his ground.
All he could do was nod. Rukia smirk never left her face as she made her towards the bathrooms.
Ichigo noticed the little swing her hips were doing as she walked and couldn't help but stare. When Rukia was out of sight, Rangiku cut into Ichigo's thoughts.
"You're a dead man." she stated bluntly.
Ichigo felt like he should retort but by the way Rukia was talking and the things she was doing to him, he had to believe what Rangiku said.
After about 5 minutes Rukia reseated herself and Orihime returned with their drinks. She balanced them on the tray that she held in her palm and swiftly and flawlessly distributed them to the group. When Orihime finished handing out the drinks she noticed that Ulquiorra didn't have anything to drink.
"Ulquiorra forgive me, but it seems you don't have a drink. What would you like?"
From the corner of Momo's eye, she could see the faintest sign of a blush on Ulquiorra's face as he turned his attention to Orihime.
"Green tea would be fine." He muttered softly.
Orihime smiled at him and nodded her head.
"Okay! I'll be right back with it!"
With that Orihime departed back to the kitchen.
Momo sent Rukia a silly grin.
Rukia sent Momo a questioning gaze.
"What?" Rukia questioned. Momo's grin got wider.
"Je pense que je sais pourquoi il a choisi ce lieu." As she silently motioned her head towards Ulquiorra, who was watching the kitchen doors, obviously waiting for Orihime to return.
Rangiku heard that and started to chuckle. "Wow, who would have thought?" She commented through chuckles.
And soon enough, Orihime returned with Ulquiorra's drink.
She grinned at him. "Well your food should be out in a few minutes and I hope you all have a wonderful meal."
With that Orihime turned and disappeared through the kitchen doors once again.
"So Ulquiorra, when are you going to ask her out?" Ichigo questioned as soon as Orihime was out of hearing distance.
Ulquiorra's face turned a lovely shade of red. He muttered, "None of your concern."
Toshiro soon found himself smirking. "I think when the ice cube of our group decides to blush scarlet, it's in are concern to know what it is."
"You're the one to talk." Rangiku cut in.
Toshiro sent Rangiku an icy glare. (This time pun intended, brought to you by my sister)
Momo cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.
"I think we could drop this conversation, right?" The look on Momo's face was so innocent that Toshiro dropped his glare and shifted his gaze towards the window.
Toshiro's P.O.V
How can she NOT notice what's she doing to me? Okay calm down, Hitsugaya! You only officially met her today, so all I know about her is that she is breathtakingly beautiful… I mean she's attractive… Ah screw that, but I shouldn't get so worked up about a girl just yet. For all I know she could be a big airhead!
But I guess Rangiku either read my mind or the Lord REALLY dislikes me at the moment….
"So Rukia, Momo; tell us about yourselves."
Momo smiled that beautiful smile again and replied, "Well Rukia and I were chosen out of our whole year to transfer here and learn the customs you guys have here."
I mentally sighed with relief knowing she wasn't completely ditzy.
But even with this information, I still craved to know more about her. Judging by the face Ichigo was making at Rukia, I could say he felt the same.
"Finally some food shows up! I'm starving!"
I turned around to see Orihime setting our meals on the table.
"So if there's anything you guys need just give me a shout okay?" Rangiku gave Orihime the thumbs up and started to chow down on the food she ordered.
I snuck a glance at Momo to see her staring at her food curiously.
"What's wrong?" I found myself questioning. Momo gave me a sheepish smile.
"I really have no idea what this is."
At first I thought she was just joking but by the nervous look on her face, I could tell she serious.
The triangular piece of bread with red sauce on it and covered with yellow cheese sat on Momo's plate while Momo just looked at it like it might attack her.
"You mean you never had pizza? Where did you live, the mountains?" I found myself questioning.
Bad move. She looked down at her lap in guilt.
I felt the need to slap myself for doing that.
I sighed. "Sorry it's just not very common around here for people to not have eaten pizza. Trust me it's good." I reassured her.
She still looked a little hesitant.
I sighed and picked up the slice.
She stared at me in confusing. I took a bite of it.
"See it's fine no poison at all." For a minute she had blank expression on her face before her face spread into a huge grin and started to giggle.
"W-what?" I managed to stuttered out. Before I new what she was doing, her finger brushed the edge of my mouth. I felt my face heat up again.
"You had something on your lip." She replied as she held up her finger to see the little red sauce it had on it.
Then she shocked me even further by popping that finger into her mouth and sucking off the warm sauce. I felt my mouth go dry.
"You're right it is good." Momo commented as she took the pizza from my hand and took a bite of it. I refused to let my mind to wander to the fact that I had took a bite that before Momo and how it technically it counted as an indirect kiss. For the rest of the meal, all I could do was stare at Momo.
When it was time to leave, we all tipped into paying for the meal.
As we left I saw Rangiku get a bit of an evil smile on her face. "Hey why don't we go do something else? Since the day is still pretty early."
I could see that some of my friends were weighing their chances to escape Rangiku's plan. They were not very good. And to make the matters more difficult, Momo and Rukia decided to go along with Rangiku.
I knew for a fact that if we left these two alone with Rangiku, she would try and make them do something that can drive Ichigo and I crazy!
Judging by the look on Ichigo's face, he realized it too.
"I guess I'll come along to make sure you don't try to drag these girls with you to do god-knows-what." I muttered.
Ichigo sighed and nodded his head to let us know he was coming along too. Ishida, Ulquiorra, and Chad agreed probably to watch Ichigo and I suffer. (Maybe not Chad)
Rangiku grinned.
"Great and I have the best place!"
I rose an eyebrow at her now kind of curious onto what Rangiku had planned.
"And what might that be?" I found myself asking.
Rangiku smirked. "The ice rink!"
I felt my eyes widening. Before I could make a complaint Rangiku already was starting her car and yelling for everyone to hurry up.
Normal P.O.V
When the gang reached the ice rink, everyone entered the large building and grabbed a table to chat at.
Since not many people come to skate on Sundays, the place was completely disserted, besides the people who work there.
Toshiro watched as Momo the girls left to get the skates.
"Toshiro, see something you like?" Ishida questioned.
Toshiro sent him an icy glare. Ishida rose his hands up in defense.
"Hey, Hey! Just asked a question. Not like I'm asking you to go confess or something."
Toshiro turned his head away with a grumble. When the girls came back with the skates everyone grabbed a pair. But before the Momo and Rukia could take off their shoes, Rangiku stopped them.
"No offense to you two, but is that what you two are going to wear out there?" Rangiku questioned gesturing to the two's clothing.
Rukia and Momo sent her a confused look.
"Well this is the only outfits we have right now, so yeah I guess so." Rukia replied bluntly.
Rangiku shook her head almost like a child. "Nope I will not allow friends of mine skating around like street children!" Rangiku exclaimed.
The girls looked down at their outfits unsurely. Before any of the two could reply Rangiku was dragging the two off.
"Don't worry! I have a membership to this place so I have some skating clothes for you girls to borrow." She explained happily as she dragged them into the locker rooms for girls.
The boys watched helplessly as Rangiku disappeared with the girls. Deciding to not stick around for Rangiku's evil plan, the guys went out onto the ice. Toshiro, loving snow and ice all his life, was a natural when it came to skating. Ulquiorra was the closest to Toshiro's skill, Ichigo was decent, only falling a few times, Chad decided not to skate, and Ishida pretty much sucked but still had fun. (Even with the comments Ichigo makes)
"We're back!" The guys turned their attention to Rangiku.
"May I present my latest accomplishment, Rukia and Momo!"
Neither girl was present.
Rangiku's face scrunched up in annoyance.
She turned to the boys with a fake smile. "Just a moment." She stated before going back to the locker room to literally drag the two girls out. They heard a few crashes then silence.
Soon after Rangiku came out holding Rukia by her wrist.
"Now may I present, Rukia!" She wore a flowing sparkling baby blue dress that was up to Rukia's thigh.
Ichigo fell over his own feet. Rukia sent him a glance before smirking.
She glided onto the ice and stopped perfectly in front of Ichigo.
"Need a hand?" She asked trying to hold back the giggle that was threaten to escape her lips.
He sent her a glare before pushing himself up, back onto his feet.
"Thanks, but no thanks. Besides you probably fall over because you're so short." Ichigo commented.
Rukia's face didn't falter, instead she just skated around Ichigo almost mocking him with her skill.
"Vraiment? Bien pardon me. Mais maintenant que je pense à ce sujet, cette robe montre vraiment désactiver mon corps. Il n'est pas distraire vous fait?" She practically purred into Ichigo's ear.
Ichigo felt a shudder go up his spine as he watched her skate off around the rink. Rangiku watched this scene unfold and couldn't help but grin.
"Now if you excuse me, I got to go retrieve another girl." With that Rangiku strolled back into locker room.
A few crashes and squeaks later, Momo was pushed out the door.
This time Toshiro fell face first into the ice.
Momo instantly jumped onto the ice and skated over to Toshiro with a worried expression. "Toshiro, are you okay?" Momo asked as she helped Toshiro up.
As he got up he got a closer look at her outfit. It was a white flowing dress with long sleeves and thigh length.
In other words, it was a hormone deathtrap!
"Toshiro! Your nose! It's bleeding!"
Toshiro was snapped out of his thoughts and he felt his nose and indeed felt the blood coming out of his nose.
Toshiro thought he could probably die of embarrassment before the blood loss from his head could kick in.
"You must have hit the ice pretty hard to make it bleed." Suggested Momo as she put her arm under Toshiro's to help him up and keep him upright.
With the outfit she was wearing, Toshiro seriously doubted that it was the fall that caused the bleeding.
When the two took a seat at the table, Momo gently dabbed Toshiro's face with a wet wash cloth that Rangiku grabbed for them.
"Thanks." Toshiro muttered softly as he felt Momo's soft hands against his face.
She smiled at him.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you would have done the same for me." Momo replied sweetly.
Toshiro didn't even have to think to know he would, to have harm come to someone like her would be a crime.
After Momo finished cleaning his face, she stood up.
"Do you think you can come back out on the ring just yet?" She questioned.
Toshiro decided against on going back out there just yet. "I think I'll just watch for a little. You know to regain some blood." Toshiro joked half-heartily.
Momo nodded her head and made her way back onto the rink. Toshiro watched as she glided on the ice, she seemed like a pro the way she skated around. Decided that he got enough blood back in his head, Toshiro steadily got back on the ice. Momo saw this and her face brightened up. She skated over to Toshiro and grabbed his hand.
"Come on! Let's skate!" All Toshiro could do is hang on and let Momo drag him along the rink.
When the group finished skating, it was already nightfall.
"Oh great, my dad is going to have a fit for sure." Ichigo whined as he kicked at small pebbles in the parking lot.
"Hey at least you can't say it wasn't worth it." Rangiku commented.
Ichigo couldn't help but agree, even though Rukia was arousing him to no end, he still had a blast.
Suddenly they saw a dozen of lights coming their way.
The guys dodged out of the way to avoid the lights, which turned out to be motorcycles.
They all stopped in a half circle in front of the group's cars.
"Well well well, what do we have here? Some kids out way past their bed times." One of the men sneered as he got off his bike.
He truly was an ugly thing; Face covered in scars and big bulky body.
"Kids? Why you-" Chad held back Toshiro from attacking the man.
"Aww did I make the baby angry? Why don't you go back home to mommy?" The group of bikers all laughed.
"Why don't you get out of here? Assholes." Rangiku growled as she pushed her way towards the front of the group.
Some of the bikers wolf whistled at Rangiku, but she ignored them.
"Well it seems we got a looker here. Hey babe, why don't you ditch that group of babies and come with us? We can have lots of fun." The man suggested as he slowly made his way towards the group.
"When Hell freezes over." Rangiku replied curtly. The biker wasn't fazed by the comment and only got fueled on.
Rangiku stood her ground as the man continued to approach. When he was in reaching distance of Rangiku, he grinned.
"Come on hot stuff, quit playing and come with us."
Rangiku just kept glaring at him. "I rather go out with the biggest pervert in my class than with a jerk off like you." She retorted smartly.
The biker's eyes narrowed before he raised his hand to slap Rangiku.
Before any of the guys could react, Rukia was holding the man's wrist.
"Vous laissez mieux si vous savez ce qui est bon pour vous." She growled at the man.
"What? Speak English you midg-" Before he could finish his sentence, the sleaze ball found himself thrown to the floor.
Above him stood Momo with a glint in her eye.
"Leave!" She screeched at him, the air around her pretty much screaming certain death if crossed.
The sleaze ball instantly sprang to his feet and jumped onto his bike. He sprang out of there while his gang followed. When the bikers were out of sight, Rangiku grabbed both Rukia and Momo in a large hug, congratulating the two on their handy work.
"Well it's seems you guys are taking care of yourselves." Came a voice.
The group turned around to see a guy. He wore ripped jeans, a white t-shirt with a yellow button up shirt over it, his wild red hair was tied back in a ponytail and he seemed to have a few tattoos.
"RENJI!" Screamed Rukia and Momo.
Why is Renji in the human world? Will the group figure out the secret? What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Will I stop asking such stupid question? (probably not)
