The next morning, the shadows cascaded down against the buildings as the sun rose above the small town. A tired eye glared up at the window before the covers went back over the head of Rayne Nagasaki. She wasn't a morning person for some reasons. Mainly, she often stayed up until one in the morning and would regret her decision upon doing so.
"Damn it, I'll be late…"she growled before swinging herself out of her bed.
The sixteen year-old swiftly changed into her uniform much to her disliking of having to wear a skirt. Rayne yawned once more while brushing out her hair and tying it back before she noticed her necklace glowing softly in the morning light. A smile crossed upon her lips before she grabbed it clasping it around her neck as she ran out of her house and towards the new high school she was to attend. As she jogged through the crowding streets, an orange haired teenager noticed her and raised a brow while looking to his short companion.
"Is that the girl Yoruichi was worried about last night?" asked Ichigo towards Rukia.
"Must be. I can understand why though when you notice the aura she gives off," replied the former shinigami.
"Hmm, we should probably keep an eye on her then."
"For now at least. Matter of fact that's the smartest thing you've said in a while."
"HEY! NOT FUNNY!"
"Well, I personally find it amusing," chuckled Rukia lightly before running off ahead of Ichigo.
The male growled softly before he yelled trying to catch up to her only to bash right against Rayne's backside. He caught his balance before he grabbed at her hand to help balance her out only to get firmly punched in the jaw line. Ichigo blinked and sourly glared at the back of Rayne seeing her dust herself off.
"Well, excuse me for trying to help," he mocked.
"I can do without a hand, thanks, Carrot Top," came the reply from the emerald-eyed woman.
Ichigo watched Rayne vanish beyond the other students and growled, "Carrot Top! Who the hell says that anymore?"
"Obviously, her you moron." replied the small stuffed lion from within a crack from his book bag.
"Shut up, Kon!"
