A/N: Hey, this is the first chapter to a Bleach fanfic! This fanfic will be funny, adventurous and romantic! Basically Ichigo, his friends and some Shinigami are going to Disneyland. I'm really excited about this fic! Usually I like to write only yaoi and yuri but in this fic I'll be trying straight pairings too. There will be Ichiruki, a little bit of Ichihime, some Byakurenji (yaoi!), some Yorusoi (yuri!), and a whole bunch of other spontaneous and random pairings and romances. It should be fun! Let's see what kind of crazy stuff I can get these characters in to on a five day trip to Disneyland! Some of this might get pretty heated and stuff but I don't really know what to rate it… Well basically let's say if you're under 13 or are against gay relationships DO NOT READ THIS FIC! Thank you and enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach! Or Disneyland XD
Chapter 1: Invitation
Ichigo stared at the piece of paper in his hands, his eye twitching and his lips quivering. He hadn't had this shocked or moreover unpleasant feeling in a long while.
"W-What is this?" Ichigo stuttered and his hands started shaking causing the paper to rattle in his grip.
"What does it look like?" Rukia's voice fluttered in his ears somewhere at his left. He didn't bother responding and continued to stare at the paper. Rukia sighed and continued when Ichigo said nothing, "The Shinigami Women's Association thought that everyone had been working too hard lately so they planned this trip."
Ichigo stared at the paper for a couple of more seconds before he could no longer contain himself. "But why am I included in this?" He suddenly burst throwing the paper down and turning to Rukia who had her arms crossed with a firm frown on her face, "I'm not apart of the Shinigami Women's association!"
Rukia suddenly let out a strong sultry laugh as though Ichigo's anger was amusing. Ichigo gulped slightly and leaned back. "It's not only the Shinigami Women's Association whose going you fool, a lot of other Shinigami are coming along as well, such as Nii-sama."
Ichigo then took a full step back and his eye twitched again, "Byakuya? No thanks, I'd rather pass on this whole thing." He brought his arms up to make a huge X over his chest, "Nothing you can do will make me go."
Rukia suddenly swung her leg out in a strong kick but Ichigo dodged it just in time from years of practice, "You fool!" Ichigo furrowed his eyebrows at Rukia who had a fearsome look plastered on her face and looked as though she'd try to kick him again at any moment. She stomped the ground in frustration, "Just give it a chance! Renji will be coming, and if you want we can invite some of your other friends to come along too, like Sado, that Tatsuki girl, Ishida…" Rukia trailed off and her fearsome look was so suddenly and unexpectedly replaced with naughty grin. That grin scared Ichigo to the core. "…And you can bring Orihime too if you'd like…"
As soon as the words met Ichigo's ears his face screwed up like he was chocking and a huge blush splashed across his face. You should have heard the sudden switch in Rukia's voice from an angry tone to a seductive and suggestive tone when she mentioned Orihime. "Y-Your methods of trying to convince me are not working! And just what were you thinking when you mentioned Orihime like that?"
Rukia sighed and went to sit down on Ichigo's bed, completely ignoring his question. "You're so stubborn."
Ichigo snorted but didn't reply. This was just great. This morning he had woken up to a lovely day, a day perfect for hanging around outside or doing just about anything he wanted. His perfect day was broken almost immediately after he woke up when Rukia had decided she'd suddenly show up at his house with a rather peculiar note addressed to him. An invitation to join the Shinigami Women's association on their trip—their trip to where? Disneyland California. Ichigo could only be disturbed by the idea. Don't get him wrong, he had nothing against Disneyland, in fact he enjoyed amusement parks and such very much but the idea of going to such a place for according to the note 5 days and 5 nights with Byakuya and that Rangiku who'd tried to seduce him on several occasions and a whole bunch of other people he didn't exactly get off on the right foot with was just plain scary.
And if Kenpachi came along too… Ichigo almost fainted at the idea.
Rukia's voice suddenly broke into his train of thought, "Ichigo, you should at least give the idea a chance." She said with a pout, "It'll be really fun…"
Ichigo turned to glare at her, "Why are you so insistent on me going?" He asked crossing his arms over his chest.
"Because I know you'll have fun." Rukia said, her voice growing slightly angry, "And just face it, if you say no we can easily knock you out and drag you on the plane no matter how much you don't want to go, so you might as well agree."
Ichigo jumped back so much he almost hit his wall, "You'd do that to me?" He yelled with eyes as wide as moons, "That's just messed up! And what if my dad doesn't wanna pay for me, huh? I sure don't have enough money on me right now to suddenly get on a plane, so stop forcing this on me!"
Rukia laughed again. "All the payment is covered by the Shinigami Women's Association. You've got nothing to worry about. If money was your reason for not going then you've got nothing holding you back anymore."
Ichigo gritted his teeth. "That wasn't the reason! I just don't really want to go." Ichigo glared at Rukia and she glared back. Something about her gaze told him she wasn't going to back down. Ichigo cursed in his mind and held his glare. Why did he have to go? He really didn't want to but… Rukia was so determined. Maybe he should just give the idea a chance. Rukia even said he could bring along Chad if he wanted, and Ishida. He didn't really like the idea of bringing along Ishida but that might be fun. And he could bring along Orihime too… but not for the reason Rukia's voice suggested when she brought up the idea. Orihime would be coming along as a friend. With all this in mind Ichigo finally broke his glare and sighed. He didn't like what he was about to say but he knew he had to say it, "Okay maybe I can… give the idea a chance…"
"YES! I knew I'd break you, Ichigo!" Before Ichigo had time to even react to what Rukia just said or do anything she whipped out her cell phone and quickly punched in a number.
"Rukia, wait, what are you-?"
"-Hey, it's Rukia." Ichigo was cut off before he could continue. Rukia was now speaking to someone on the other line of her phone, "Yeah, you can count Substitute Shinigami Kurosaki Ichigo in for the trip. Oh, and make room for four of his friends. Yeah. Yup. Thanks, bye!" Rukia clicked her phone shut and Ichigo was left standing with his jaw dropped. He stayed in this position for a couple of seconds before he finally comprehended what had just happened.
"HEY WAIT! I didn't agree! I just said I'd give the idea a chance! Why'd you go and sign me up like that? Rukia, you little-"
"-Oh lighten up, you'll thank me eventually."
"Thank you?" Ichigo clenched his fists so hard his knuckles turned white. "Thank you? You come to my house suddenly in the morning and insist I go with you and your Shinigami friends on a vacation then sign me up without my total agreement and even tried to convince me by mentioning Orihime as though I'd be thrilled to go on a vacation with her in for some sick, sexual romantic reasons!" He heaved in a huge breath after he was done and his arms were now trembling with anger.
"Well I think Orihime actually likes you so excuse me for assuming there was something a little more to your relationship." Rukia said flapping her hand as though waving the subject away.
Ichigo opened his mouth to yell some more but he figured further argument would be useless. He could only take in a deep breath to control his anger. Finally he let out a huge and long sigh of acceptance. "Okay, you know what, I'm done fighting. I'll go on your stupid trip without complaining."
"Good. Now start packing big boy, we're leaving soon."
Ichigo raised his eyebrows. Now that he thought about it the invitation never said when the trip was. "When are we going?" He asked.
"Tomorrow morning."
"…"
"Ichigo?"
"…You need to tell me these things sooner. Like, a couple of days in advance would be nice."
.
.
"Yeah, I know its really short notice. So anyway, in the morning at 2:00am we'll meet you at the airport. K, cool, bye." Ichigo hung up the phone and sighed. 2:00am was way too early, but that was the latest they could go. According to Rukia everyone was to get to the airport at 2:00am for a plane leaving at 3:00am. By the time they should arrive in California it will already be 9:00pm because of the time difference. Ichigo sighed once more. What a pain.
Ichigo looked down at his desk. He had just called Tatsuki, Chad and Ishida to confirm the whole thing with them. The only person left now was Orihime. After he told her about this whole idea it would be time to pack and prepare for this crazy trip.
Ichigo quickly dialled her number and then pressed the phone against his ear waiting for her to pick up. Rukia had left his house an hour ago or so and he was pretty glad about that. He could imagine her yelling out crazy things while he was on the phone with Orihime or teasing him some more. Why did she think he and Orihime should be a couple? It made no sense. Ichigo thought of Orihime as a friend, nothing else. He couldn't even picture himself dating her. That image just didn't work with his brain, almost as though his brain refused to process such things. Ichigo could have gone on and on about how he and Orihime shouldn't be a couple but he didn't have anymore time because in the next second Orihime picked up the phone.
"Hello, who is this?" Orihime's voice rang out happily on the other end of the line.
"Hey Orihime, it's me, Ichigo."
There was silence on the other end.
When some sort of sound finally came from Orihime's end of the line Ichigo had to bring the phone away from his ears to avoid popping his ears drums, "Kurosaki-kun! Kurosaki-kun, why are you calling?"
When Orihime stopped screaming Ichigo brought the phone back to his ears, "Uh, hi, I'm calling for a really weird reason actually."
"W-What is it Kurosaki-kun?"
"Well you see Rukia came over today and told me that some of the Shinigami are planning a trip to the Disneyland in California for 5 days and 5 nights… yeah, it's weird but anyway we were just wondering if you wanted to come. There are a whole bunch of people coming, like Tatsuki, Chad, Ishida, and Renji… yeah, it should be fun. And all the expenses are already covered for you and everything so you don't have to worry about money."
There was silence again. It took a couple of seconds for Orihime to speak, "Me, going to Disneyland with… Kurosaki-kun." The words came out in a sort of whisper as though Orihime didn't mean for Ichigo to hear.
"Uh… Orihime?"
"What? Oh nothing! Yeah, this idea sounds good! I think it'll be fun to go with Sado-kun and Ishida-Kun and Tatsuki-Chan and Rukia-chan and everybody else!" Orihime was speaking so fast Ichigo could barely understand her.
"Haha, yeah… So anyway, the flight for California is leaving at 3:00am tonight, sorry for the short notice. You should get to the airport at 2:00am all packed and ready to go. So, what do you say, will you come?"
"I would love to go!" Orihime's sounded like the happiest thing in the world.
"Cool! Be at the airport at 2:00am. I'll see ya there!"
Ichigo hurriedly hung up the phone Before Orihime could say anything else. A thick worry was running through his mind. "Damn, the way she's acting I think Rukia might be right... Maybe Orihime does like me."
Ichigo frowned as he gazed down at the ground. He didn't like her that way…
"This whole thing is… ridiculous."
.
.
"Niiiiiiiii-saaaan! Dinner is reaaaaady!"
"Coming!" Ichigo threw his folded 15 logoed shirt onto the floor with the rest of the clothing he would be packing for the trip. Quickly turning around to close his closet before he'd be heading downstairs he froze. His closet looked so empty, and not because a majority of his clothing was now on the floor waiting to be packed. As he stared at his empty closet he could only think of Rukia, that strange girl who had made a home inside of that little space. Ichigo laughed slightly. Rukia. That girl had changed his life over and over, and now she was dragging him on a trip that would probably change his life again, this time probably for the worse. Ichigo stood their thinking of that raven haired girl perfectly content, but then he suddenly he stiffened. What was he doing? Ichigo gritted his teeth and immediately closed the closet door, breaking his train of thought. It was time for dinner, not time to stare at his closet and recall memories. What had made him stand there and think about Rukia for at least a minute? Ichigo shrugged off the whole situation and turned towards his door, the only thing on his mind now being the warm plate of food that was waiting for him downstairs.
Ichigo exited his room and out of pure instinct stepped to the right. That was a good move. In the next split second a body flew straight past him like a bullet and whammed into the wall behind him. Ichigo restrained a chuckle.
"Ichigo! You awful son! Why do you always dodge my love?"
Ichigo couldn't resist a snort of laughter this time, "No normal father shows their love like you do; you should work on it." Ichigo didn't even bother looking back at his dad whom he could hear pouting behind him. Ichigo began walking towards the stairs until he suddenly remembered something and stopped in his steps. He spun around quickly to see his dad sprawled across the floor, "Dad, do we have any suitcases around the house?" Ichigo asked.
"Suitcases?" His dad asked heaving himself up off the floor, "Why do you need a suitcase?"
"Well you see tomorrow I'm going with Rukia and her…family for a trip to Disneyland so-"
"RUKIA AND HER FAMILY? DISNEYLAND? OH ICHIGO!"
Ichigo ducked just in time. He could feel his dads launched body fly just a centimetre above his own. A second later an awful crash and crack broke the air. That man had just launched himself into a wall, no doubt denting it.
"ICHIGO, STOP DODGING ME!" His dad whined turning to face his son with a flat and red face, "You're so mean!"
"Well don't go launching yourself so fast! Why'd you freak out like that anyways?"
"You're going on a trip with Rukia-chan and her family! I didn't realize you two had gotten so close! Oh Ichigo, this is-"
Ichigo swung his leg down on the man's head before he could continue down the track he was going, "Stop being freaky. It's not just us; it's a whole bunch of other people, including some of my friend from school, like Tatsuki, Chad, Orihime-"
"You're going with three girls your age? Ichigo you lucky man! THIS TRIP COULD MARK THE BREAKING OF YOUR CHILDHOOD AS YOU ENTER THE LIFE OF AN ADULT—OOF!"
Ichigo kicked him once again, "Shut up, old man. Just get me a suitcase, okay?"
"Okay~~~" His dad pouted and a small tear trickled down his cheek as he began to crawl away. Ichigo sighed and turned around to get to the stairs once again. This time he found his destination blocked by his little sister.
"Yuzu?"
"Nii-san, you're going to Disneyland?"
"Yeah, I'm going with my friends. I've gotta leave to the airport at 1:00am tonight."
Yuzu looked up at him. Ichigo could only look at her and think of how much she had grown to be the mother of the family, wearing that apron and everything she really looked fit for the job, unlike his crazy dad who whined all the time and decided today that he would wear a pink muscle shirt with and a flashy yellow belt with heart pants to top it all off.
"Are you going with Rukia-chan?"
"Not just her." Ichigo corrected with a little bit of frustration, "A lot of my other friends are coming along too."
"Cool! Take lots of pictures while you're there, okay Nii-san? I want to see everything you did!"
"I'll be sure to." Ichigo said walking up to pat Yuzu's head, "Now come on, let's go and eat."
"Is anyone coming to eat dinner or did you all die?" Kairen's voice sounded from downstairs and Ichigo and Yuzu both laughed.
"We're coming, don't worry no one is dead!" While Ichigo said that he couldn't help feel that he wouldn't come back from this Disneyland trip with a bunch of crazy Shinigami alive. This was going to be one wild ride.
A/N: This chapter was pretty short but don't worry, the other ones will be better… I think. I hope. I don't know. Whatever, just keep reading XD and leave a review! Reviews are always nice! But please don't be mean to me, I have a really delicate soul. The next chapter will be out either before Saturday or after next Saturday, because between August 28th and September 2nd I'll be in Disneyland with MY friend and family! That's how I got the inspiration for this story! I'll try writing at least one more chapter before I go.
