Second chapter! Currently raining so hard in here when I update this. I don't own Bleach! (The thunder is creeping me out!)
"I can't live without you!" it was a peaceful evening in the kurosaki household when Rukia was reading a script, "Before I knew it, I had fallen hard for you!" Apparently, her lines and her tone wasn't quite in sync, and her face holds the same expression. she continued reading anyway, "Oh, please... Please take me away!" She holds out her hand dramatically, her eyes closed waiting for her orange haired partner to say his lines.
He didn't.
Rukia peeked an eye. She can see his eyes slightly widening scanning through the paper, eyes twitching. "O-oi, Ichigo!" she whispers. The orange haired looked at her. "Your lines, moron!"
"O-oh, uhh..." Ichigo gulps and reads the script wondering which part were they at and what were the lines she said just now. Noticing he has not much choice, he decided to read a random line, "Y-y-you are my one and only angel. I can't live without you! Y-you... Y-you..."
Ichigo gritted his teeth in irritation, eyes locked to the paper, cold sweat started to wet his head. "AAAAH!" he screams slamming the piece of paper to the ground then jumping on it furiously screaming, "WHAT THE HELL!?"
A red vein popped on Rukia and Karin's head. Rukia gave him a smack to the head. Karin followed after kicking his leg. Isshin gave him a final kick from his left sending him straight to the wall. The orange-haired winced as his back slammed the wall, and shouted, "What's that for!?"
Rukia grabbed his paper which has a lot of his shoe mark all over it and shove it to his face, "Look at what you've done to your script!"
Karin snatched the paper from Rukia and pointed at a sentence, "You read the wrong line!"
"They both did it, so I thought I would do it too!" Isshin said pointing to the two black haired girls.
"In other words, you don't know what you did that for, you stupid dad!" Ichigo wrapped his father's neck with his left arm and drill punched his head with his right fist.
"CUT!" Yuzu screams. She puts down the camera she was holding on the table with a pouty face, playfully glaring at her brother, "Onii-chan! Be serious!"
"I can't! I'm sorry! It's just that this script is too disgusting to be read!" the brother shouted desperately. Tears started streaming down Yuzu's slightly frustrated face.
"Ichi-nii, Yuzu made that!" Karin shouted back.
"Wh-Seriously? I'm sorry, Yuzu! I didn't mean that, please stop crying!" Ichigo said, "I-it's a beautiful piece of work you did!" he flustered trying to dust off the shoe mark on the paper.
"Ichigo! How dare you insult Yuzu's work!" Isshin shouted and received a hit to the head from his son, "I don't want to hear it from you!" and made Yuzu cried harder.
The so-called peacefulness a minute ago became a disaster as they were practicing for the audition tomorrow. Yuzu cried, Karin and Rukia shook their heads sadly, while the father son battle continues with the son trying to comfort the youngest sister at the same time.
Meanwhile, in Urahara's store, a certain red-haired eyebrow-tattooed wasn't doing any better than Ichigo. Renji was totally embarrassed as he reads the script in hand. As audience were a Kisuke, Yoruichi, Jinta and Ururu, all licking lollipop Kisuke-Urahara-style.
Yoruichi shook her head and grinned, "You're not going to get any dinner if you keep that up"
Renji deadpanned with a look that hysterically screams, "NOOOOOO!"
Jinta snickered, "I knew red heads are idiots"
"Idiots" Ururu copied.
"Why, you-" Renji held his fist up.
"Now, now..." Kisuke clapped his hands to prevent any fight, "Anyway, let's take it from the top, shall we, Abarai-san?"
Renji 'tch'ed then mutters, "fine" and mentally cursed Rukia for bribing the man with sweets. She told them not to let him get any dinner before he gets his lines right for the audition.
"Manager" Tessai suddenly enter the room, "You have a guest"
"This late?" The shop keeper puts down his pink swirly lollipop and stood up, "Abarai-san, please continue practicing. I'll be back"
Renji caught a glimpse of the guest and frowned, "Isn't that?"
"Freeloader, you heard him! Continue practicing!" Jinta commands receiving a hit from Tessai, "Manners, Jinta-dono!"
Jinta held his head in pain while Renji snickered at him, "Serves you right, brat"
"E-everyone..." Ururu's soft voice was drowned in the insult both red hairs threw at each other. Tessai took a deep breath.
"QUIET!"
The next day...
"You okay Renji?" Ichigo asked. Renji had bags under his eyes, he looked thinner than usual, and he looked like he just had his spirit taken from him. Ichigo could almost see some random white gas coming out of his mouth. Let's just say, acting turns out to be much muuuch more tiring when Kisuke is involved. He has absolutely no mercy.
"What do you mean? I'm always okay" the red haired replied looking white.
"No, never mind" Ichigo said mentally saying, "You look absolutely horrible"
"But this is one heck of a crowd" Rukia said staring at the crowd that filled the hall where they were stuck at, "And I wonder what this green paper for?" she stared at the small blue paper on her hand.
Before they entered the hall, they were asked to take a random piece of paper from a box. Rukia got green, Renji got blue, while Ichigo got red. None of them got the same color.
"Okay, people listen up!" a familiar voice shouted in the mic making most of the crowd cover their ears. The three turned around to the stage where Rangiku was holding a mic. Next to her, were Ikakku, Toshiro, Tatsuki, Hitomi, Orihime, Yuzu, Mizuho and Uryu covering their ears as well, except for Toshiro. He's pretty much used to her loud voice.
The lady smiled at the now silenced crowd and passed the mic to Hitomi, "And that's how you win against numbers"
"Th-thank you" the brunette slowly released her hands and accepted the microphone, "Um, everyone, I'd like you to be quiet for a few minutes. First, I'm going to thank all of you that has come here, even though I know some of you are forced to do so"
"Tell me about it" Renji muttered glaring at Rukia.
Hitomi continued, "The amount of those participating in the audition are exceeding our expectations, so we're going to divide the audition into 3 group" she held out 3 fingers, "Each group will be judged by 2 or 3 of us and 1 guardian"
"Guardian? We have a guardian?" Uryu asked.
"Eh? I didn't tell you?" the brunette asked back, "I chose 3 grown-ups to be our directors"
"Anyway, for those who received green paper, please follow Tatsuki-senpai, Mizuho-senpai, and Yuzu-chan to class 1-3" she announced, "The blue paper to class 2-3 with Rangiku-senpai, Orihime-senpai, and Hitsugaya-kun. Red paper, stay right here with me, Ishida-senpai, and Madarame-senpai. You'll meet your grown-up there"
"So you hear, see ya, Rukia, Ichigo!" Renji said walked away.
"Renji! If you don't pass, I'm telling nii-sama" Rukia warned giving him a sharp glance.
"I get it, I get it!" Renji grumbled muttering curses for her every step of the way.
"He better pass" Rukia grumbled shaking her head, "Well, good luck, Ichigo"
Meanwhile with the blue group, leaded by a super grumpy kid, and 2 cheerful huge chested ladies, made the group had mixed feelings. Most boys were over the moon with 2 idol-like women in front, but having a grumpy kid with icy glare that looked like it could kill you totally ruined their fantasy and made them super tense. It's like having 2 beauties with a terrifying older brother that will kill you if you hit on them.
"H-Hitsugaya-taicho" Renji poked on the little captain's shoulder and whispered, "Can you loose up a bit?"
"Oh? Do you have a problem with how I'm acting?" Toshiro gave him a sharp and icy glare. Renji felt like being frozen by Rukia's sode no shirayuki.
"Oh, come on, captain. He has a point" Rangiku said, "You're scaring them" she pointed at the group, "It's not like you were forced to come here in the first place"
"Idiot! I AM forced to come here!" He shouted.
"By who?"
"That girl!"
"Who?"
He grunted and shouted in frustration, "Kazayaki Hitomi! Happy now?"
"Whoa, captain. Don't go throwing tantrums! What did she do? She seems to be a nice normal human" Rangiku puts her hands up in a surrendering manner.
"I doubt she is" the boy grumbled.
"Actually I don't think she's a normal human" Renji said, "She went to Urahara-san's shop last night"
"I don't think I like where this is going" Orihime said, "Hitomi-chan is nothing more than a sweet human girl"
"Sweet my ass, that bitch-"
"Watch your language, captain"
"Whatever, Abarai, what did she go there for?"
"I have no idea"
"I'm telling you, there's no way it was Hitomi-chan!" Orihime's complains as she stops in front of the classroom and opened the door. Their eyes sprung open when they saw who was waiting for them. A purple haired lady.
"YORUICHI-SAN!?" Renji shouted on top of his lungs.
Meanwhile, in class 1-3, Rukia and Yumichika couldn't believe what they're seeing. A sun-glasses-ed man with twice Rukia's height.
"Tessai!?"
In the hall, Ichigo had his mouth hung open, unable to say a thing as a certain green striped hat man holding a stick stood in front of them. Uryu pushed his glasses to cover his widening eyes.
Ichigo screamed, "URAHARA-SAN!?"
Chapter 2 finally done and it's still raining. Harder. And creepier. Hey, I have a test tomorrow, if it suddenly floods, I wonder if the test will be cancelled? Oh, this is not a toshiroxoc fanfict by the way. Hope you liked it.
