Wishes in Death
Kohaku: hey guys I'm back
Grimmjow: yay…
Kohaku: don't you dare try to bring down my happy mood anyway on with the story.
Shuuhei: also Kohaku does not own bleach.
Ch. 2(revised)
'Why do I have to do this? I'm not good at social events.' Kohaku thought as she walked down the street with Shuuhei close by.
"Kohaku, do you not feel comfortable?" he asked concerned, he had decided to take the both of them on a picnic. What he didn't expect was for a lot of people to be around
"No, I'm fine." She gave one of her fake smiles but as she spent more time with Shuuhei they started to feel more real to her.
"Well, if your sure." He turned back to the food that he had made them for this little picnic
'I didn't know that Shuuhei could cook.' Kohaku looked at him in awe as he laid the food down on the blanket
He turned to her and saw that she was staring; she quickly turned away as if in embarrassment. She really couldn't look him in the eye because he was her superior, but a little voice inside her head was telling her that wasn't her only reason.
She sighed and slowly made her way to the blanket where he set the food. It all looked delicious and Kohaku didn't know where to start.
"Take whatever you like." He said serenely and she felt at ease with him by her side.
"Yo, Shuuhei." They heard a familiar red-head shout across the field. It was obviously Renji because not even the stupidest person could mistake him for someone else.
"Hey." Shuuhei yelled back
Renji walked up to Kohaku and Shuuhei with another girl with blond hair and green eyes. She had two black triangles on her face at the corner of each eye just below them. Her name was Rikku.
"Hey. How is everyone?" she asked
Kohaku didn't say anything; she just let Shuuhei answer for her.
"We're fine. What about you guys?" he replied
"We're good. So Shuuhei, what are you doing with your third seat anyway?" Renji tried to whisper to him but Kohaku heard him anyway. She didn't say anything though; she didn't feel that it was her place for some reason.
"What is that supposed to mean? You know how long I've liked Kohaku. Why does it matter so much?" Shuuhei was confused and a little upset that Renji would asked something like that. Shuuhei and Renji had already walked off to talk so the girls couldn't hear them.
"It's just that I don't think Kohaku is a good choice really."
"I don't care, I even asked my captain as well as Captain Ukitake and Captain Kyoraku and they supported me so why are you so against it. Is it because you don't like her or that fact that she is stronger than you?"
Renji was a little offended but what Shuuhei said was true, "I guess a little of both. It just makes me sour; on top of that we barely know anything about her."
"I don't care, I want to make her happy." With that Shuuhei turned and went back to where Kohaku was.
When the guys were coming back, Kohaku turned as she had heard them yelling at each other but couldn't make out what they were saying.
"What do you think they're saying?" Kohaku had completely forgotten that the girl named Rikku was sitting right beside her. She didn't bother with the girl; they didn't know each other anyway.
Kohaku turned back to Shuuhei; he had just walked up behind her, and asked if she wanted to go for a walk. She accepted with her almost real smile.
"So how do you know Rikku?" he asked as he gave a look of pure innocence
"I don't"
"Oh, well I thought you did."
"No, never met her before. If you hadn't noticed I tend to keep to myself a lot." The entire time Kohaku had a look that said she didn't care.
After awhile they were done talking and just decided to enjoy each other's company. It was actually quite nice to the both of them, Kohaku didn't like talking and Shuuhei just wanted to spend time with Kohaku to begin with.
Sadly the silence couldn't last forever. Yachiru, the squad 11 lieutenant, decided to show up and talk to Kohaku, leaving Shuuhei completely out of the conversation.
'I feel very lonely right now.' He thought as he watched the two girls talk as if they had been best friends forever.
"Oh I have to be going. Kenny will probably be angry if I'm late again. Teehee." Yachiru said suddenly and just as quickly she appeared. She was gone.
"So." Shuuhei said as he obtained Kohaku's full attention once more.
"Yes?" she asked as she turned toward Shuuhei once again.
"Uh no nothing, never mind." He blushed as he just kept walking
'He can be so shy. And he is cute when he blushes.' Kohaku thought as she followed him close behind and for the first time in a long time she had a real smile. It was small but it was still something.
Kohaku: oh my god this chapter it finally over
Grimmjow: it's your fault for taking so long
Kohaku: do you know how hard it is to rewrite a story
Gin: she is right Grimmjow
Grimmjow: shut up
Shuuhei: don't worry Kohaku I believe in you
Kohaku: thank you Shuuhei
