OMG!! Sorry, readers! I was super busy! Well, not busy at home, but on the computer, and homework and stuff... I've been obsessed with this Role Play I'm working on in Gaia Online. I've been waiting for others to post, and wondering around the site… etc. Oh, ha-ha! Why have I not thought of that! Write my Fan Fiction while waiting for someone to post! XD! Ok, I'll do that from now on. And I don't know why I haven't updated during Summer Vacation....

Ok. Now, I've finally updated, now you can read! Have some fun!

"I want to play my Wii at least once before going to Ichigo-kun's house!"

"Wow, Rin. You're obsessed with your Wii recently."

"DUH! I couldn't do any of my games while coming here!"

"True… but at least you got to use MY games!"

"…" Rin didn't reply.

"It must've been hard for your mom…"

"Mm-hmm…" Rin agreed weakly, concentrating on her homework. I took out one of my books that I read almost half way through, and started reading it.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock…

It was very silent in Rin's room. I could hear every noise; the sound of the clock ticking, Rin's mom cooking downstairs, the TV's sound also from downstairs, but also very faint, Rin's pencil when it hits the table, along with Rin mumbling to herself.

Who knows how long it's been. Ten, twenty minutes… I don't know, but it was long enough for me to read all but the last chapter of the book, when Rin screamed, "YE-S! I FINALLY FINISHED!!!"

"Way to go, Rin!" I put my book down and sat up.

As Rin was cleaning up her homework in a quick movement, she asked, "Crystal, want to change?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll be back in five minutes," and sprinted towards my house. I swung open the front door and yelled, "Oka-san (Mom)! Tadaima~ (I'm Back Home)!" I went straight to my room.

"Okaeri (Welcome Home)… Why are you in a rush?" I think she's in the kitchen.

"Going back to Rin's house to play her Wii."

"Could you remind her mom to come over here at quarter of five?"

"Sure thing, mom!" I quickly changed and rushed back to Rin's house. I reminded Rin's mom to come to my house around quarter to five, and went straight to Rin's room. We started to play Wii Sports' Tennis.

"A-nd... Ha! I win!!!!!" Rin yelled as she swung her Wii Controller and made the final hit.

"Ri-in! You cheater!" and stuck my tongue out at her.

"Nu-uh! I'm no cheater!" and she stuck her's out at me.

Just when I opened my mouth to say something, Rin's mom called us. "Girls, we're going."

"OK, mom!" Rin switched off her Wii, and we ran downstairs, and rushed to my house.

It didn't take us that long to make our dinner plate that we're bringing to Ichigo's house. My mom and I made a special box of Sushi, while Rin and her mom made their traditional healthy salad. Rin and I were planning to go back to her house to play Wii until my dad comes home, but as we were rushing to the front door, my dad came in, all excited and was home earlier than usual. Of course, he gets to see his long-time-known-friend, aka Ichigo's dad, but he said they kept in touch after we moved. No surprise that he's home early, but he's earlier than his usual 'early' time. Our dads had known each other well for a long time, which is why Ichigo and I are childhood friends. I have basically known him ever since we were born, I guess. Along with getting to see him, I can't wait to see his sisters' again!


We were on our way to Kurosaki Hospital, walking the familiar path that I used to take so often. Nothing really changed, except a few things here and there. I still could remember those days when I would just throw my bag in my room and rush over to Ichigo's. We would always just hang out and stuff. All those memories just kept on flowing into my mind, almost making me cry...

On our way, Rin and I made a plan: surprise Ichigo! Though that's really not going to happen, since he knows that we're going to his house any case. When we arrived at the door, we each hid behind our parents, and waited for someone to open the door. But for some reason, I knew that it wasn't going to be Ichigo nor his dad, but one of Ichigo's sisters. Probably Yuzu.

We heard footsteps coming towards the door, and just wildly swung the doors open. Yes. It was Yuzu. As soon as she did, Rin and I jumped out from behind our parents and totaly scared her. Though she didn't cry. Instead, she hugged me really tightly. "Crystal nee-chan! I missed you somuch!" she exclaimed. One by one, the rest of the Kurosaki family appeared at the door, leaving Ichigo and Rukia at the end and last to arrive.

"Yuzu, I missed you too!" I let go of her and took a better look at her. "Oh my. It's been so long! You're so grown up now!" I turned to see Karin, Ichigo's other sister and Yuzu's twin, who's standing right behind Yuzu. "And you too, Karin!"

As Karin opened her mouth to say something, my dad interrupted, "Now, now. Why don't we save the stories for later, girls?"

"Yes, yes. Do save those stories! I'd love to hear them, too, Crystal-chan!" Ichigo's dad yelled, pushing all of us into his house.

Before we all started to talk about the times we couldn't meet up, Rin, Yuzu, Rin and my mom, and I got the foods ready for dinner. Yuzu had to do some last minute checks on hers... And finally, about half an hour after we entered the house, we finally got to talk about our stories.

I talked about the not-so-hard times trying to adjust to America. Learning English wasn't that hard, since my mom used to live in America when she was younger (I think she lived there until she married...?) and came back to Japan afterwards with my dad. So, it wasn't that hard trying to learn another language.... I also talked about the day and times I met Rin at school. Did I mention that Rin was my very first friend that I made? Yup. She was, and still is, a very nice and friendly girl. Though, she is a tomboy...

Rin's story was... well.. First she had to introduce herself to Ichigo's family. She also talked about those days spending with me, and me teaching her Japanese, since she was interested in it. She was a quick learner, so it wasn't that hard to teach someone, even though I never taught anyone before. Oh, and my parents (mainly my mom) helped me teach too, since she's more "advanced" in the language itself.


After we had a stomach full of foods stuff into it, we - Ichigo, Rin, Rukia and I - went upstairs to Ichigo's room. We had some "personal" talks, and listening to Rin swear all over the place... Though good thing that neither of them knows what she's talking about, so I was like, "Rin. Please stop swearing in front of them..." (of course, in English so that they don't have that much of an idea on what we're talking about, even though they're taking English class at school.

And the fun times always ends someday... Our parents were ready to leave late that night. But Rin and I rejected. Yes, we rejected it.

"RIN! CRYSTAL! We are leaving right at this moment!" my mom yelled from downstairs.

"But mo-m! Please!? Just a little longer?" I whined back.

"No. It's getting late and we can't afford to stay any longer."

"P-..." But as I was about to reply, or yell, back, I heard Ichigo's dad talking to my mom. Good ears come in handy at these kind of times.

"It's all right. You can have the girls stay longer. Ichigo will surely bring them back safely. RIGHT ICHIGO!!!" he yelled at the end.

"Y-yeah..!" Ichigo replied back with a weak one.

"YES! Victory!!!!" Rin softly yelled in English.

"Sure, Rin. Victory..." I teased.


Finally, the time for us to leave had arrived. "Aww.... Too bad... I wanted to talk more about other things...." Rin was sad that she couldn't talk about other things she wanted to, but I told her,

"Rin. It's all right. We have school!"

"OOOHHHHH!!!!! Riiight! Okay! Lets go."

Ichigo 'tagged along' with us, or to make things look weird, he was our "Bodyguard of the night!" Pretty funny, right? Well, that's technically the reason why he's with us, so... no other way to actually say it.

When we walked about a third to a half of the way to our houses, Ichigo suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. "What's up, Ichigo?" I asked, stopping and turning around. With a serious look on his face, he asked,

"You girls can walk back home safely, right?" Rin and I looked at each other.

"Y-yeah. Of course we can!" Rin answered.

"Good. Just go straight back home. I have somewhere I need to go right now. Don't follow me!" With that, Ichigo just ran off to the side street. Rin and I looked at each other once more.

"Lets go follow him!!!!" Rin said, pulling my arm.

"But... Didn't he just said not to follow him?" I questioned.

"Yeah, but telling someone not to do something makes them want to do it, silly girl! Now lets GO!!!" and she really did drag me along with her. Finding Ichigo wasn't that hard. Rin just tripped on him.... Wait.... Tripped on him?!

Yeah. Ichigo was lying on the ground, motionless. We thought he died, since he's not moving, nor breathing! Rin thought of calling 911 (eh... well, its 110 in Japan, but she still calls it 911), but I told her not to when I saw a figure pass by. This time, I was dragging Rin. I dragged Rin with me and followed the figure, though if it was just a person with black Kimono, I wouldn't really have bothered to follow him, but his hair caught my attention: his orange hair!

After a little while of chasing, we arrived at a small playground surrounded by trees. There stood a figure in white clothes from top to bottom with spiky white-ish, green-ish colored hair. In front of him stood the oranged haired, Ichigo like person with giant sword on his back. Rin and I were hiding behind the corner of the entrance, trying to peek in and figuring out on what's going on. Though whatever I told Rin, she didn't get it. She said that there no person standing in the middle of the playground.

"R-Rin... Are you sure? See? Those two people dressed in completly opposite colors?"

"Nope. I don't see them." she plainly replied.

"But... but then, how could I-" my sentence was cut off short by a surprise: I being held by something! A giant hand-like thing caught me and lifted me up! I looked back to see who, or what, it was. It was a giant black creature with a white mask and a hole in it's chest! I struggled, trying to get free of its grip, but failed. His, or it's, grip was so strong, it could crush me in no time! Scared, I screamed out, "ICHIGO!!! Tasukete! (Help me!)" And when I did, I felt the air cooling down...
