'Ok, let's just think about this. Now that I grow a tail every time I go near a drip of water, that means I can't ever go swimming at a beach, or wash my hands or even take a sip of it if even a single drop lands on my lips and goes down the side of my mouth! I mean what the heck am I going to do if someone see-" her thoughts were interrupted when she bumped into somebody too lost in her head to realize where she was going to begin with.
She and that person were on the ground rubbing their back. "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking." Ichigo looked up and saw that it was Kisshu, smirking at the sight of her.
"It's not a problem, my honey. As long as it's you, I am completely good with it. If it was someone else, well…" he trailed off, her knowing he would have probably jumped the poor person if it wasn't her.
He helped her up, even though she tried pulling her hand away.
"Thanks." She said.
"Anytime my dear." She twitched her eyebrow about to turn away when he grabbed her shoulder. "Where are you going?" he asked.
She turned her head. "Why do you want to know?"
"Because I might be interested in going there too." He replied.
She sighed. "I'm just wandering around, trying to clear my head. Nowhere special."
"Mind if I join you?" She raised a brow. He then suggested, "Since you're not really going places, how bout we go catch a movie or something."
She shook her head. "I don't really think I'm in the mood for tha-" she was being dragged by her arm in the direction of the movie theater.
"Hey! Knock it off! I said no!" she said angrily, trying to free herself from his grip on her wrist.
"Don't be stubborn about this. It's just a movie. And anyway, it'll help take your mind off things. Whatever you're thinking of." He said coming through the door, up to the counter.
He whispered, "What looks good to you?"
"I don't know. That new movie ParaNorman I guess." She replied, still wishing he'd let her go.
"Two tickets to Para Norman." He told the cashier lady.
She pulled out the tickets. Then handed them over saying, "Here you go. Enjoy the movie."
"Thanks." They both said.
They then went to the candy counter. "What would you like?"
"Nothing." She said back.
"Liar. I know how much you like sugar. So choose something." He ordered her giving her the eye.
She sighed and then picked. She said to the candy counter guy, "One small popcorn and a medium pepsi, please."
"And I"ll have a medium Coca-Cola with Whoppers." Kisshu said.
"Aright, that'll be nine dollars and fifty six cents." He said handing them their food. Kisshu paid the guy and both headed straight for theater four.

They came out actually having a normal non-violent, non-forceful conversation with each other.
"Wow, that movie was almost as good as Coraline. It was pretty good." Ichigo said, amazed at a person's imagination.
"I know. But I didn't see that Coraline movie. I thought it looked dumb." He said back to her, arm slung over shoulder.
She took his arm off her. "Whoa, wait a minute. You've never seen Coraline before. That should be a crime, especially for insulting it." She said shocked.
He laughed. "Why? Is it that really great a movie?"
She gave him a hard I-can't-believe-you-just-said-that look. "Definitely. I've watched maybe ten or twelve times. I love it that much."
He looked at her like she was out of her mind. "Sheesh. You must be crazy about it."
She shrugged. "I have the movie." She then mumbled, "Maybe you should give it a chance, and come over to watch it."
He DEFINITELY heard that. He then looked down at her, with a bright and wide smirk on his face. "Are you asking me out, honey?" he said excitedly, his face getting closer to hers.
She then pushed his face away. "No! It's just someone inviting a friend over for a while, that's all!" she explained, all flustered, not being able to look him straight in the eye.
He then grabbed her shoulders and kissed her. She was too shocked from the unexpected move, so she didn't have time to react before he pulled away, his face a few inches away from hers. "Honey, you know you want it to be a date. And yes, I will definitely come watch it with you. When?"
Yet again, her eye was twitching, not saying anything, because she didn't feel like putting up a fight. Ichigo sighed. "How does tomorrow Saturday sound?" she suggested.
His face beamed. "That's good for me. See you then hon." He called, moving away, waving his hand.
When he was out of sight, she slapped her head with one of her hands. 'What did I just get myself into?' she thought.
