Okay, I bet you might be a little confused in this chapter, so im gonna give you a little primer.
For simplicity's sake, I'm giving the actors the same names as the character.
Also, the actors dont always act like the characters, some of them have different personalities. You'll see what I mean.
Grimmjow pulled expertly into a parking slot, perfectly straight on the first try. Ichigo whistled, "Wish I could drive like you."
"It's a talent," Grimmjow replied, grinning toothily "Dont beat yourself up over it."
The two friends joined the group huddling by the front door, all male. "Toshiro!" Ichigo called to the fifteen year old.
The latter turned, glaring. "Its 'Captain Hitsugaya' to you." A silent second came and passed, and the group broke out in laughter.
Uryu, a black-haired boy of eighteen, managed to stop laughing first, "It's good to know you've been practicing. Though the effect was ruined by-"
"Yeah, you changed your hair, didnt ya, kid?" Renji interrupted, "You looked totally badass with the way it was."
Toshiro looked saddened, "I would have kept it white, but unfortunately my teachers dont appreciate the so called 'delinquent' look. I had to dye it black again, but now they want me to cut my hair." He touched his messily spiked hair protectively, "No effing way is that happening." Toshiro was proud of his hair.
Grimmjow yanked on one of the boy's spikes, "Dont ya go gettin all vain on me, now," He admonished.
Toshiro glared"Shut up, Meow Mix."
"Oi! Dont call me Meow Mix, short stuff!" Grimmjow retorted.
Ichigo smirked, "Alright, let's go inside. Where's Gin?" He changed the subject.
Renji shrugged, "Probably ran off with his latest catch. Whoever it is." Twenty-one year old Gin Ichimaru was something of a playboy, mostly because he was a favorite of the viewers. Nobody really knew why; His charachter was not only one of the antagonists, but designed to be a generally creepy person. Yet somehow, he became one of the most lusted after characters in the entire show. In any case, the man knew how to use his status.
After signing a few autographs, the group was guided to their usual table, one of the large booths that sat in the corner. Renji, as usual, dived to get into the far back first, Ichigo right beside him, and Toshiro and Grimmjow on the ends. Uryuu left to call Gin, leaving them to their table.
Toshiro rolled his eyes at Renji as he pulled out his SideKick, flipped it open, and opened a new message. After typing furiously for a few seconds, he snapped it shut again and shoved it in his jacket pocket.
"Who was that, your girlfriend?" Grimmjow smirked.
Toshiro glared at the man, "Actually, it was Momo. I invited her to join us, since she met up with Gin by chance."
Ichigo grinned. "So... yeah, girlfriend." he replied.
"Shut up, will you? She's my cousin."
"You know, I think second cousins are allowed to date. You guys arent even related by blood, anyway, since it's through you grandmother's second husband." Uryuu came up behind them. "By the way - Happy twentieth, Grimm." The teen sat down next to Grimmjow and passed a wine bottle to him, hidden in a box with a ribbon.
Grimmjow scowled. "I told you not to get me anything."
Renji snorted, "Please. You've left us all behind in teendom to join Gin in his playboy ways. We're not allowed to at least give you a 'congrats?'"
"No. No you arent."
Laughter filled the corner of the resturant. Then Toshiro looked up and waved.
Momo and Gin waved back. They looked a bit funny together, with Momo being short and black-haired and Gin being as tall as Renji and with superbleached, silvery hair with a certian purple quality to them. Gin scooted in next to Toshiro, while Momo perched on the edge of the booth by Uryuu.
Renji and Ichigo thought it was getting a bit crowded.
After a waitress came by with everyone's drink orders, Ichigo decided to kick the night off. "Alright, so before we begin this meeting," Ichigo paused to make sure he had everyone's attention, "Was anyone else invited?" At the few seconds of silence, he sighed in relief. "Good. Renji, take it from here."
"Yessir!" Renji mock-saluted. He then turned to address the group. "Well, its been a great season. Most of us have appeared, and when we havent we've been helping out backstage. We've all somehow passed our classes, too." He added for Ichigo and Uryuu's benefits.
"Now we get to hang out for a bit, get a little R&R. I say we take tonight's oppurtunity to have a little fun!" he raised his glass, "To a good season, a better next season, and a great break inbetween. Cheers" Everyone clinked their respective glasses with everyone elses, repeating 'cheers' as they did so.
Later, as they left to their respective cars to meet up again at Gin's place, Gin couldnt help but notice the same two men that he had seen following him around for the past week or so. He shrugged it off. He would deal with it later.
Iggy: You should see her.
Me: -in background- Kill me dead...
Iggy: She had to run a lot the past few weeks. Shes exhausted. Review, so she knows its appreciated.
