Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

My eyes narrowed.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

The grip on my book tightened,

Tap. Tap. Tap. Thud.

"Aika-chan! What was that for!" Rangiku whined, dropping the brush as my book hit the side of her head.

"Sorry Rangiku-san."

Brown eyes narrowed.

Blue eyes narrowed.

Squint.

Water.

Glare.

"You blinked." Rangiku said.

"Oh, Goddess."

"Goddess?"

"Yes." I grinned.

The cards flipped. One after the other they landed on the pile. Our eyes searched for the elusive jack.

.Flip.

Slap!

"Ha!" I grinned triumphantly. Rangiku pouted.

"Again."

.Flip.

Slap!

"Seriously! Again!"

"He." I smiled.

"Get back here!" I yelled, running. Rangiku yelped happily as I launched myself across the room. She used the cough to launch herself away from me. It fell to the side, almost tripping me as I tried to catch up. The door slid open. Rangiku slid to a stop near the door. I ran into her.

"Wah!" We both fell.

"Aika. Rangiku. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" Toshiro yelled. I jumped off of Rangiku who rolled off of our half crushed Captain.

"Sorry Captain." I apologized.

"We were bored." Rangiku whined. "And you took all the sake I was hiding."

"I was only gone for ten minutes! You could have done some of the work without me!" he yelled. Rangiku and I glanced at each other.

"Maybe tag wasn't the best idea." I said.

"AIKA! RANGIKU!"

And life at Squad Ten went on.

This is a little thing to get me back into writing about Aika. I had written this in a notebook while in Geometry a while ago. I'm going to have something that has actual meaning soon. I promise.
