Car Ride

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Toshiro cried out as the car he and Ichigo inhabited suddenly lurched as the wheels squeaked and shot off into the distance. Toshiro's normally pale face became almost translucent as the color completely drained from his face due to shock of the sudden advancement. He gripped the side of the car and arm rest like a life line, praying silently to let them survive. Today, Ichigo decided to entertain Toshiro on a little car trip. The small boy was reluctant at first but soon went along with Ichigo's persuading. He had made a big mistake, a big mistake indeed.

"Relax Toshiro! I'm only going 60mph. That's normal speed on a highway! Ya gotta speed up to mesh with the oncoming traffic. Don't worry, I'm a good driver." Ichigo's confidence gave the white haired male a relaxing vibe. Seeing as his partner was in total control of this metal thing on wheels, Toshiro relaxed his deathly clutch on the car sides.

Toshiro glanced out the window, noticing other cars fly past them in an array of colors and shapes. "These things…cars… what's their purpose?"

"They are the livelihood of the human realm. If we did not have cars, buses, trains, and planes, it would be extremely difficult to travel quickly. They provide us with so many benefits; like if I wanted to visit America all I'd have to do is take the plane there. Oh and America is another country, one of many that this world has. I've always wanted to go there one day…"

"Why don't we just find a plane and go there now?" Toshiro glanced quizzically at Ichigo.

"It's…not that simple Toshi. We have to make travel plans, arrange for hotels, buy tickets, pack… and there's quite a lot of money that needs to be involved as well. But one day, I will take you there. It'll be great; you'd love it." Ichigo smiled warmly at his car mate and then re focused on the open road before him.

"How long will it take for us to do all that is required to travel there?"

"Well, I guess it could be done on short notice but… it'd be easier if we plan it months ahead to make sure we don't miss or forget anything."

"Hn… many things to do. This is so very complicated Ichigo, I do not know how you do it." Toshiro turned his head and resumed his watching of other humans in cars.

Ichigo laughed and swung his left arm around Toshiro's neck. "Well ya get used to it. Sorta like how you're use to the things going on in Soul Society. I grew up with it here; just as you did there."

Toshiro smiled slightly and asked quietly, "You don't mind me being here right?"

Ichigo's smile encompassed his whole face as his eyes glittered with happiness. "Of course I don't silly. It's great having ya here and showing you my world."

Toshiro was about to say something when the car suddenly swerved to the left lane, bypassing the person who cut Ichigo off. The orange haired male honked his horn as he flipped off the car next to him. "Fuck you ya bastard! Learn how to drive goddammit!"

Toshiro was once again clutching the side of the car for dear life. Fear presented itself on the younger males face as he squeaked out, "What the hell was that?" The small captain was scared not only for his life, but from the aura Ichigo encompassed around himself. Ichigo's outburst of colorful curses and foul language towards the other human was a scary sight indeed.

"That bastard should not have done that! Ugh people like him make me so damn mad! It's infuriating! They should not be allowed to drive! Shit he could've killed us!" Ichigo continued to fume as Toshiro looked to him, questioning his angry outburst.

"What do you call this Ichigo?"

"Road Rage."
